Personal Space and the Wii Fit

Anybody out there have Wii Fit? Do you jog on Wii Island? Now tell me if I’m crazy, but don’t those other Miis jog just a little too close sometimes?

I know I have personal space issues. In real life, I like to have a three-foot radius of free space around me at all times. And I was sure this wouldn’t also apply in a virtual world, but I was wrong. I think that is because my Mii a virtual representation of my outer essence. It’s really me! And as me, it has the same personal space requirements.

I am forever getting pissed off at the other Miis who are jogging in my personal space. And sometimes those arrogant Miis are right on top of me. They know I can’t move sideways. The only control I have is to move forward. I can jog faster, but they keep right up. And most annoyingly, they turn their little Mii head and look at me as they enter into my personal space. They are taunting me. They know I am powerless against their invasion. And their cocky little selves know that I can’t punch them. Ah, if I could only punch them! And therein lies the solution — combine jogging with boxing. This way, I could nail one of those rude, little joggers when they got too close. Nintendo could market this as Wii Fit for People with Personality Disorders. I’d buy it.
