cadburys_egg Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 http://www.wiihaveaproblem.com/ One of the best Wii-related websites (apart from SmashMyWii, ofcourse :P) i've seen so far. It's just about how people have damaged their wiis, damaged things because of their wiis or any damages related because of using a Wii. A quick example; DUDEWHERESMYCART of the Nintendo forums was playing Wii Sports: Tennis when the controller flew from his sweaty hands. The Strap failed and let the remote go through his parent's house window and out into the yard. Now the window and him have been boarded up. He's currently grounded. Some great articles; Wii player throws his controller straight into a wall Wii player forgets how to bowl a bowling ball Low ceiling + ceiling fan + Wii sports: bowling = blood Wii bowler breaks his 60" TV Diiscuss.

cadburys_egg Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Guess it just shows us how uncoordinated gamers really are... Or just how weak game straps are. The video where the guy throws the controller into a wall shows how thin it is, probably no thicker than some dental floss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barihawk Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 These are probably the idiots flinging the remote around like a sword when all they need to do is flick their wrist. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GhostRanger Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 These are probably the idiots flinging the remote around like a sword when all they need to do is flick their wrist. And still...they should be able to hold onto the remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't wait to see someone try and sue nintendo because their 7 year old son threw the remote right into the TV. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadfdfd Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 ROFLROFLROFL!!! These are hilarious! The blood one lol, where the guy brought his hand up too high and smashed his fingers into his fan :shock: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackalope14 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Anybody here have a Wii? Is it really necessary to fling it as hard as the guy did in the first one? Seems like he did is a little hard to me. :P Entertaining though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XplsvBam Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I highly doubt any of these were caused by wii gamers. The guy bowling doesn't look like the gamer type. :roll: . Its funny that wii beat out the competition and the haters are resorting to trying to make the wii look bad. I'm sorry if some people believe everything they read.

unknownmasterofnothing Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I have no problems holding on to it, and I do some crazy swings. But I've bumped it once when I swing back. Even if you throw it out of your hand, the wrist strap should be on and it'll swing around your arm. You'd have to be pretty dumb to be able to throw it anywhere.

____ Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Pause game, wipe down controller, rinse your hands in cold or ice water, and resume playing. Really how hard is that?Not very. I used to do that playing Perfect Dark. Common sense, if your hands a sweaty, stop and wipe them down. Pause button for a reason. I mean, people don't crap their pants instead of pausing and going to the dunny. Same concept, smaller threat to game-play :uhh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonorhc Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Well, the Wii remote doesn't exactly look like it's conducive to lending a better grip. I mean the damn thing's just a straight rod. Now, if it was more ergonomically designed, it would be slightly curved to suit a general hand shape, as well as having at least some rubber parts to allow better grip. Still, with sweaty hands, you should wipe it down. However, Nintendo should have at least made an effort to make a better design.

Seems like he did is a little hard to me. :P Entertaining though. Yep I have one and no its not necessary at all. You can still get very immersed in the game-play without swinging at mach 5 speeds :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
