Wii have a problem...

Seems that some people are managing to use their Wii to break shit around the house. Some people are reporting that the cord that is supposed to prevent you from accidentally tossing the remote should you lose your grip on it is snapping under what should be 'light' stress.

The busted iPaq almost makes me cry.

Oh God, the forty year old Wii megageek halfway down that page makes me cringe.

I didn't bother watching the vid clips. I'm sure there's a few years of therapy I've skipped as a result.

Watch it. You posted the link, you are obligated to watch the video. It's horrible.

Yeah, people are going entirely too crazy with the Wiimotes. They're swinging entirely too damn hard or flinging it around too crazily.

And tbh, that's your own fucking fault. If you feel like you need to swing it that much, turn up the sensitivity or sommat, don't break your fucking house or the remote and bitch.

Yeah. You can get into the game without going absolutely ballistic like some people seem to think you have to do. I mean, bowlers dont go and have super hard hand motions -- they have smooth ones. Baseball players are the same with swings and such.

And if you do want to throw it that hard, by god, get a Wiimote glove or something so sweaty hands don't fuck you up.

People are also complaining about being sore after taking part in an activity that involves motion (playing the Wii) for extended periods of time.

People are stupid.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

They are sore from actually doing activities...

Have you seen some of the young kids today.

Anyways.. in responce to the geek guy, I could of sworn I read somewhere that after 3 days of no sleep you can go mentally insane from sleep deprivation.

I dunno if you go insane, but some like 80-100 hours in, you start doing permanent brain damage.

Hopefully he's telling the truth, so that he might die.

Man, Nintendo sure does have some good costumer service. Not even charging shipping on the replacement strap for that guy.

Sorry.

Anything that promotes physical activity while gaming = win. Get your fat ass kids up and doing some exercises while the tv raises them for you, parental units!

S'funny. I actually had a customer in today who said he didn't like the Wii because it made him "get up and move around and stuff."

I just shook my head after he was out of line of sight.

If you count "minor wrist movements" as exercise, I guess this is true

Busted televisions and shattered windows shows they're not just moving their wrist...

Well, SOME of them might be able to achieve that kind of acceleration via wrist motion... but then they're probably the ones on demerol and grape soda.

The news article clarifies it a bit. I think he means acting like Tycho in the last panel is makes you a toolbox.
