Throwing hands

[danielson]

This Wii boxing thing is fun.

I liked Wii boxing until I learned you could just barely flick your wrists and it does the same thing as throwing punches. Other than bowling I never play my Wii anymore.

Shit I thought JamieX was back

I played 36 holes of Tiger Woods on the Wii and my elbow hurt the next day and I am super duper buff. Not sure if a 75 year old can play it safely.

He'll probably hate it anyway but I'll tell him to build up to a full game.


Maybe I should have just bought him a carton of cigarettes.

You really can't go wrong with cigarettes, especially if you are in his will.

I bought a wii for a 75 year old relative for Christmas.  He will probably never be able to golf again but he's in good enough shape to play wii golf.


Is there any type of game (handheld or otherwise) that someone w/Parkinson's and occasional dementia could handle?  I asked a target employee about that Nintendo D3  or whatever and he said that wouldn't be a good choice because 1) some games are reaction time games
2) others are brain exercise games where the dementia could be a problem....

but when he's lucid would the brain games be good?  Any thoughts please and thank you

video games and old people dont mix

This years?

No, last years. I just used one hand, not a good idea.
