|

Not that I have any problem with them, and kind of doubt that I will break them, but they may get damaged or just start to wear out over time so I'm going to get two to replace the ones at my house.

That is pretty sweet of them. I'll definitely sign up for that when I get home. _________________ PSN: Twitch_City ||| Wii: 8083 5371 5767 6700

Well I've heard -of- reports saying that people have broken their tvs when the nunchuk strap comes loose / breaks. |

I've heard reports of incredibly stupid people driving their cars directly into trees. Someone should make trees more jello-like to keep this from happening.

I'm still having a tough time understanding HOW people are managing to destroy their possessions due to flailing about with the Wiimote. It seems like a fairly simple equation to me: tighten the wrist strap, wash off your hands or take a break if you start getting sweaty, and HOLD ON TO THE GODDAMNED CONTROLLER.
That said, I just signed up for my replacement strap. It's like pulling teeth getting friends to tighten the strap completely when the Wiimote is passed around on Wii Sports, and I'm not even going to pretend that someone's not going to let fly with the controller one day when they're simply supposed to release B. The replacement strap is definitely idiot insurance in my eyes. |

I've heard reports that Nintendo have been advertising their latest house console as a family-friendly work-out-station for all ages and a model of accessibility and ingenuity. (For the past 20 year lol) Someone should be held accountable for this faux pas in quality control. _________________ "This is the most fun I've ever had without being drenched in the blood of my enemies!" |

It's easy to belittle those casual gamers when you're using misleading advertising to bring them in, is all. _________________ "This is the most fun I've ever had without being drenched in the blood of my enemies!" |

my father showed my a picture from the daily news the other day of a wii remote wedged into a tv. not into the screen, into the frame. like a knife.
i think we decided that the image was doctored. _________________

Someone needs to try tossing them at dartboards or cutting meat. _________________ "This is the most fun I've ever had without being drenched in the blood of my enemies!" |

I can confirm that the Wiimote will not cut meat. _________________ “The average man has a secret desire to be a swaggering, drunken, fighting, raping swashbuckler.”

At least that's one headline we'll never be unfortunate enough to see. _________________ "This is the most fun I've ever had without being drenched in the blood of my enemies!" |

So wait, I'm confused. Which system is actually the best one for someone with a family?

The PS3, obviously. The wife can take an extra job and the kids can sell lemonade (drugs) just to afford it! _________________
