Eric Rice pointed me to this site: Wii Have a Problem.

Damn, no one is gonna be able to bring a Wii in my house. At least not until I get insurance on my HDTV.

    So, the dude was drunk when he was playing the WII? Hell, he could have lost control of his XBOX controller in that state.

    As long as they didn’t buy from the initial shipment, it’ll be fine – nintendo are now shipping stronger wrist straps.

    Watching YouTube vids of people playing the Wii— there’s gonna be some thrown out arms and legs. I remember playing a 3D-kick-and-punch-the-air arcade version of Tekken 3. I about died. Knowing how to fight is one thing, faking it is another, and also– not making a hit– is bound to confuse the body.

    How are you supposed to re-condition yourself *not* to let go of the Wiimote if you are fake-bowling?

    I think it’s far from over. Meanwhile, about that web interface……….

    Yes, Wii have a problem: some people are idiots.

    Penny Arcade did a brilliant comic about that a while ago: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/11/29

    Come on guys!
    Get it.

    The closer to reality the systems get, the better for training and for fun. “New lexan screens” for the brain impaled.

    The new game giving shocks to the tongue to enduce another form of visual reality is a step wii should be taking. Ye-ha. Virtual reality of another world. Just a thought MSFT. Smell-a-vision etc. all become feasible. MSFT VVV advanced. (7sigma) ; )

    Still not bad for a Beta product. As stated before, my 19 year old son traded his “ex”-box360 on a wii.

    http://WWW.com “What we want”. Just a thought.

    Got to agree with Michiel in the comments. Try picking up your TV remote and throwing it at your TV, you’ll get the same result. There’s nothing wrong with the system or the remote, it’s just some people are idiots. We’ve had one for a week and nothing is broken yet, sure, a remote was dropped once by my 4 year old, but no damage and it all still works. Simple moral to the story: don’t let go of the remote.

    No, invite the wii into your house. Ban idiots from your house.
