Wii breaks my back

I've been trying to not start getting involved with video games now that I have a little extra time on my hands. As much as I enjoy them, I know what kind of time they can demand of me. A really good one is like a good book; they become impossible to put down. Even with the extra mobility that playing my Nintendo Wii offers, it still feels like I'm sitting on the couch playing games all day rather than getting something done.

A few months ago, I bough Metroid Prime 3 on sale. I left it in the wrapper until it was time to play it. Friday I broke down and started playing it. Excellent game so far. The point and shoot interface worked better than I expected and quickly became second nature. I had to kinda prop my arm up in order to keep it pointed at the TV but that seemed like a minor detail.

Minor detail at least until my back started to flare up on Saturday. I'm really trying to not play today and give my back a little rest but it's not easy. I want to know what's next!
