Julie Peasgood, the  the sex expert and soap actress (what is she even doing there?) provides no evidence for any points she making at all, in fact when rebutted with Bryon report she just made a “dopey yeah right, what sort of report is that” type face, complete with the audience booing the government report as well.  What is quite funny is that Julie Peasgood was actually the voice for a games character.

The facts are simple, games are rated just like films.  They are done like for a reason to protect minors from getting access to content they shouldn’t (you can also argue there are also some just as horrific books around, but for some reason no-one seems to mention them). Parents need to educate their children and make them understand the difference between games and reality, they should stop buying their children games which are are rated 18 or 15 if they aren’t.  Games came out of the bedroom a long time ago and stopped being the simple platform game they once were.

This week’s theme was about gaming and we talked in depth about E3 2009 which happened in June.  Touching on such excellent games including Mario Galaxy 2, Super Mario Bros. for the Wii, Milo and the Secret of Monkey Island. We also touched on every interesting conversation I over heard at the brum bloggers about the luminescence of ginger pubes.

When you open the box you get a leg grip/strip for the NunChuck and a long red elasticated band for doing resistance based work (biceps,triceps). After doing a quick system update to play the game, I was in and be given a tour on how the system worked and setting up my bio information (I had to do a quick conversion from feet into cm’s).  Once setup was completed I decided to use the Journal and select the 30 Day Challenge (hence the title of this post) and will be blogging about my achievements across the month.

The workout I did this morning was a high impact one (there are two other settings medium and low) and the goal was to burn off about 250 calories, I managed to achieve 265.  The exercises were quite a mix and (although I don’t have a direct comparison) probably better than the wii fit ones.  The consisted of running,high kicks, lunges, squats, squats + jumping (that one is a killer),boxing, tricpes and biceps.  Each exercise was well explained and the representation of my movement on the screen was pretty accurate (I don’t know if they will update this when the Wii motion sensor is released) and overall I have to say that I felt like I’d done a work out, not the normal one I would do at a gym but I think this might be helpful to augment it.  Nevertheless I will carry on blogging and keep all of you 7 readers updated on how I find it.
