How does heavy lifting have anything to do with wii mote waggling?
Lift heavy stuff for 8-10 hours a stretch.
Somehow waving your arms to play the game is no longer appealing.
I worked for IATSC for a time, which is the group of people responsible for setting up all of your favorite shows, concerts, and extravaganzas, all of which have quite a lot of equipment, which as it turns out, is quite heavy. Something like 4-10 full Semi Trucks kind of heavy, and most times shows would only be in for one night, which means unloading the trucks, setting everything up, getting about a three hour break, then taking everything apart and loading it back into the trucks. By the end of the unload you're sore and tired and have put in about 8-12 hours of setting up and unloading trucks, only to come back three hours later and take it all down, so I know where you're coming from with heavy lifting. A good casual game is the perfect thing for that two hour period, because it's lightweight, you don't have to worry about getting too into it, and you can relax a bit, and the last thing you want to do is take a nap, because you'll miss your call to go back to work, get docked pay, and be groggy to boot. The Wii's motion controls really don't use the exaggerated flails that you'll hear about, and most of the actions are akin to holding a normal, smaller, more comfortable controller, or only require the movement of the wrist, if anything. Most games still use the tried and true button system, with just a few motion sensing options here and there. And if moving your wrist about a little bit to control a game is too much, one should really question why, if you do lift for 8-10 hours a day at least several days a week, you're not used to the wear associated with it. Of course, that's if you pick up the Wii games that actually had care put into them, for I'd strongly advise against buying the cheap shit just because, but you should already know that. Honestly, if you play a wii game and need more motion than what you can do just by using your thumbs and a flick of your wrist, you need to adjust the settings, because that's all it really takes. And that flick of your wrist? It's about the same amount of effort as tilting any other controller the amoung you normally would getting into the game in any case.
