solarbird | BoxVR

So on recommendation from housemate Paul, I got BoxVR, which is a 'fitness' game based on boxing and rhythm. First impressions are kind of like, "they took Guitar Hero and made it violent. I'm in" because I am really enjoying this thing. Housemate Paul says he's discovered new muscles he didn't know he had, but I haven't had that - I'm a weightlifter, after all, so. But I do like some of the ways it's loosening up my back, and how it's teaching me better boxing/punching form without saying that it's doing anything like that. I've caught the training mechanisms a few places in particular, so that's neat.

I livestreamed a pair of short routines on twitch if you're curious about how it plays. I know I need to bring down the game volume a bit more, but I'm audible if you care to hear me natter.
