The boss-mans learned a important lesson about other people's feelings when he called Wii Fit a wee fad. Indignant Wii Fitters ultrabombed his inbox to say not everyone who "plays" it looks like this.

But now they're trimmer, slimmer and rockin' a hardcasual physique that, while it may not look like they hang with Johnny Klebitz, is propping up the industry, Atlas-style. Or so says Brian in his magnum opus of a mea culpa. Anyway, that and more from the week in Kotaku's original reporting:
