Signs of the Apocalypse Part 1

I have to imagine that every great empire that's imploded in upon itself, crushed beneath the weight of its hedonism, had its share of crazies pointing at the impending doom apparent to only them and shouting to the willful deaf.  

As I sit here in my chair I feel a brotherhood with those nut bags.

I give you....

 

Seriously, Bandai?  A video game centered around simulated outdoor activities?  Do you know why people think that video games promote a agoraphobic, sedentary, lifestyle?  Because you are quite literally promoting a agoraphobic, sedentary, lifestyle! 

I'm sure the game is "...A fun and easy way to get off the couch and get hearts pumping..." (taken from here), with such activities as simulated jump rope and simulated running! You know what else is "...A fun and easy way to get off the couch and get hearts pumping..." AND doesnt cost $56.99 (+$200.00 for the Wii)? Going outside and jumping rope and/or running.  

To quote a friend of mine:

I don't think I like you, Bandai.
