I'm not convinced that the idiot wasn't wearing the strap when it happened.

We brought the Wii home and played it pretty much nonstop for the past 24 hours. At 12:10am, during a slower couch-sitting game of Wii Sports: Bowling, my Nintendo Wii got angry with me. My buddy Troy reels back to roll his ball as he's done about 300 times tonight suddenly feels the controller slip from his hand. (THANK GOD for the wrist strap right?) Nope. Wrist strap snaps. The Wiimote flies across the room impaling my 60" rear projection TV square in the upper left corner. Be warned: Sweaty hands + faulty Wiimote wrist strap = broken ass TV.

My buddy Troy was hopped up on Bawls and Red Bull. he rolled a gutter ball as he'd done 300 times tonight but he suddenly feels something slip.  in his head.
(thank GOD for the prefrontal cortex, right?)

nope. Troy snaps. The Wiimote flies across the room impaling my 60" rear projection TV square in the upper left corner.

Be warned: caffiene overload + momentary lapse of reason = broken ass TV.

(p.s. he was the only one in the room. and he fed me someshit about sweaty hands. then he tried to blame the controller.
only a moron would believe that ####. and post it on SA)

Clever... Would work well in marketing.

I just received an e-mail regarding my pre-order! I'll be getting it delivered on 8th December, day of UK release!

I'm hyped for this one!

Bring on Mario Galaxy!

You aren't alone. Excite Bike rocked.

I have mine. Though I had to freeze for 4 hours to get it. I haven't gotten to play it as much as I have wanted due to a series of unfortunate events even though I was on vacation. Due to painting, and no one would help me move it back into the room, the TV was not available till just before I went to bed. Then no one would leave me alone for long enough to get through more than a round of some game in Wii sports. This coupled with the fact that I couldn't get my Wii to complete the updates for nearly 2 days meant my vacation  was over before I got to get a good start on Zelda. Eventually I did get to put 4 hours into Zelda. So right now I am at the part where I just turned into a wolf. It didn't help that I fell asleep twice while fishing. Then my brother came home for thanksgiving weekend. So Wii Sports has been the only thing in the system since Wednesday. And finally on Friday the TV stopped showing colors properly.

I was also going to pick up Raving Rabbids. But desided to wait till I passed Zelda. And Excite Truck was a possibility as well until a review finally spoke up about the feature that would prevent me purchasing it if it wasn't included. I am talking about  a track editor. Now I just wonder how long it will be before a company comes out with a game that uses little to no video and only sound and text.
