Wiinjuries!
Published by cassidy 1 year, 8 months ago in News.
The folks over at 1Up.com have put together an entertaining list of the various types of injuries that you could sustain while playing the Wii. I know… not really news, but I got a kick out of it! I figure that that’s probably mostly because I personally know quite a few people who are sadly lacking in the whole “common sense” thing!
[via 1Up.com]The Wii comes with about seventeen pages of warnings about using the Wiimote without the wrist strap. The thing actually includes a sensor that can tell when you’re not using it properly, electronically alerting Nintendo H.Q. whenever you’re breaching the warranty. Trust me, they can and will exercise their legal right to release the wards binding Hiroshi Yamauchi into retirement so he can go to your house, judo-chop the top of your head off and feast upon your living brain.
But we know gamers. Ain’t nobody going to remember to slip that goofy strap around their wrist. Hell, you’ll make fun of any pansy friends who actually do use the thing. As a public service we’ve taken it upon ourselves to explore all the dangerous possibilities of improper Wii-mote use. At least three interns lost their lives making this feature, but if we can scare even a single gamer into Wiiing responsibly it’ll be worth their sacrifice.

“the wiimote strap broke and hit the tv craked the tv and i got cut by all the glass”
I just got a Wii a couple of days ago and after playing it intensively for many hours straight I’m now totally convinced that claims like these are 100% bullshit. You cannot break the strap just by swinging or playing with the Wiimote, it is physically impossible. My guess is that everyone who claims to have broken the strap actually was playing without a strap, threw the controller somewhere and did some damage with it, and then tore the strap on purpose afterwards in order to fake an insurance claim. And anyone who does this is totally lame and desperately in need of a life.
