the fitness gamble

I'm thinking of buying a $250 exercise package from an infomercial. I've been doing one of the exercises and it feels good. It stretches and stegnthens at the same time. I'm really tentative, though, since that's a good chunk of money and fitness things are more often than not a loose for me. However if it is a win, it's worth a lot to me. That's why I'd take the gamble.

Darn I wish I could just fine the love of DDR again.

Anyway, I have no idea what I'll decided, but if you're interested, it's the http://fluidity.com/ system. It appears to have good reviews.

EDIT: I ordered it.

[video games] Genre-breaking goodness.

In march I've decided to get myself a psp as a birthday gift to myself because the uber pretty FFVII prequel is coming out. But the subject of this post isn't the FFVII fan service, it's a game called "Patapon" which is a rhythm RPG, and adorable.

You use, what sounds to me at least, kuchishowa which is the taiko way of teaching sounds. And what rhythms you pound out tells your little guys what to do. Then you can earn them equpment and other things to speicalize them.

Here's a video of the game play:
