Kinectimals has by far the best interface and presentation out of all the games (just watched it).
I personally don't give a shit about pet simulators like Nintendogs or this but they seem to have done a good job there. Credit where credit is due and all that.
Kinect Sports comes after that. It's not a surprise that the first party stuff is leaps ahead of the competition, that's just how it is at launch.

as a fitness game , this look way way better than Ubi's Your Shape , this look like it's really can make the player do something and sweat a lot and it don't joke with the player ( tai-chi shit on Ubi game) , Ubi games is just more flashy with nice background, but this seems like doing serious training.

I was, 305 seems way too low for how he looks. I enjoy GB as much as everyone else but Ryan especially has a problem. Go look at his old Gamespot videos and see how "thin" he looked in those. He has exploded over the past couple years.

It makes me feel sad when some of my favorite personalities just can't shake the weight, especially when it makes them really self-conscious. I feel this way about Kevin Smith. It's amazing that nobody ever brings it up on his podcasts. I think if I had a friend who was morbidly obese and pursuing a relentlessly unhealthy lifestyle, I'd want to help them change so they could be around longer.

On the Bombcast they do the opposite and talk about how unhealthy they are, it's funny and it's their lives so we really can't judge them for doing what they want. They talked a couple times about a pizza place that had an unlimited buffet and they would just go try and out-eat each other back in the day.

Vinny and Brad are quite possibly as unfit as Jeff and Ryan. It's possible to be slim, yet completely out of shape. From the sounds of it, they all eat the same junk.
A few friends of mine eat like shit but cannot gain a pound.

I don't see what anyone's weight as to do with anything, especially in this industry. If anyone is personally concerned for him, write him an email.
Weight is just a very visible health risk. You can't tell what other Journalists are doing meth, or drinking at 8am.This topic has no merit! HORSE MEET RIDER, RIDER MEET HORSE. Yes. Back on topic.

Go look at some recent pictures of Brad. He's got a huge gut on him now.
I think Vinny goes to a gym periodically. He's definitely mentioned it before.
I think Jeff has been losing weight recently, but Ryan seems to have picked up what Jeff lost.
I was seriously shocked by his weight during the Biggest Loser session. Considering all the energy drinks they drink plus all the other unhealthy shit we see in their mailbag videos it's not that surprising. Still I'd like to see both of them get a bit healthier.

Seriously, it's not even what they eat. I bet Jeff and Ryan would instantly lose a bit of weight if they just replaced all the soda and energy drinks with water.

yup. Id love to see a digitalized Tony Horton (with that unnaturally jet black hair, of course) yelling at me to dig down deep and bring it.
Ive been doing P90X on and off for around a year now. One of the main reasons I got Your Shape and the Kinect was for the visual feedback on the yoga positions and the more interactive take on cardio. I think itll be an interesting way to mix it up with the standard p90 bits, which are getting a bit too familiar now.

That's because they have a high metabolism. Fat around the waist can be related to poor cardiovascular health but it's really a separate health risk. Being unfit and carrying a huge gut is sort of a double whammy.betweenthewheels said:
Also, while we're discussing fitness, shadow boxing is a good exercise because you have to use your own energy to stop your punches.
Damn, let it go people. So he's overweight, big deal. I'm sure you've noticed before today, and I'm reasonably sure he's aware. Maybe he'll go on a diet and exercise kick, maybe he won't. Who gives a crap? That is a personal thing and we don't need to fucking stop the thread and discuss this for three pages just because the dude looked a little winded ten hours into a quick look streaming bonanza.
You can do, drink, or smoke whatever you want, and it's nobody's business, but apparently if somebody eats too much RELEASE THE FUCKING HOUNDS.

Let's put this motherfucker back on topic.

Release the hounds? You think people are attacking them over this? It's the opposite really, people are only bringing it up because they care about the GB dudes. I personally think they can live life whatever way they want as it's their life but I understand why people want them to get healthy.Htown said:
Exactly. I have similar worries (not losing sleep over it, mind you) about Gabe Newell and George R.R. Martin. I admit that I would not think about this at all (except in Martin's case, because he is old as well) if it weren't as apparent a problem, like smoking, or drinking, or whatever.

I think the effect a person's level of fitness might have on their enjoyment of motion gaming is a relevant topic, especially when that enjoyment may translate into a review score.Htown said:
Like how they are overwhelmingly positive on Dance Central, fairly positive on the excersize games, and the motion-controlled games they didn't seem to enjoy didn't require nearly as much movement? It's a stupid tanget the thread got onto, and hopefully isn't the norm as they move onto more green-screened Kinect stuff.SapientWolf said:
I'm in the same boat; I care because I love. I don't want to see a genius like Gabe Newell suffer a crippling heart attack ~5-10 years from now because he's obese.Rufus said:
Go take a look at what Peter Jackson has done for himself, he looks healthy, younger and ready to make movies for decades to come.

Also, the reason is gets discussed is because of things like this:
Ryan Davis is the reason I know the website This Is Why You're Fat exists. He posted it. And he said "I have to try some of this stuff" at the end of the post.

The type of movement required is going to have a much larger effect on how strenuous an activity is than the amount of movement (like six inch leg raises, for example). Enjoyment is secondary for an exercise game since the main point is, well, to exercise. That type of game may require a different approach and a different skillset to gauge its effectiveness. Like rigorous, continued use over several weeks, which isn't something I think the GB is really interested in.Hugbot said:
