EVERYWHERE I GO, PEOPLE ASK ME: WHY CHOJIN WHY

actually Erick was the name of my father's kid brother who died in a car accident at 18. So that's my technical namesake.

Also, 'ericandemily.com' being taken might have had something to do with it.

Wiikitty.com is now linked on at least kotaku, joystiq, infendo, and wii nation. erickandemily i haven't directly posted anywhere cause that's not the sort of thing that gets blogged about. THOUGH YOU ALL SHOULD DEFINITELY SPAM THOSE URLS RIGHT NOW GOGOGOGO

Posting from the Wii, btw. ;>

I found a good flash duck hunt game to play on here, what about you guys?

This should make you happy Eric, I almost wanted to say "Hey I know who made that"

[/quote] Probably the greatest site on the internet[quote]

I went to my friends house last night and tried the Wii

:/ He is a buyer for a major chain of stores and has every new console except the PS3.

The Wii game play is fun but so limited because the controllers are akward and don't really react smoothly, like Golf (my friends kids are really good at it already and seemed bored with it and mainly played games on the PC while I was there.

I played Elibits and got dizzy and bored with it quick.
I'm a war game buff and didn't like Metal of Honour 3 on this console at all...
The kids did't try Legend of Zelda, so that tells me something.

I would't buy this unless it was really cheap...

I also tried the XBox 360 and I will wait for it to become cheap.

I think being patient for these kinds of Consoles to come down in price is really worth the wait considering games like the Wii not really being as advanced as I expected.

Immortal Goat insults kids who don't play his videogames

EisigerBiskuit · #**112**

What kid doesn't play videogames? SERIOUSLY!

Ninjavenom · #**113**

I got my Wii a couple days ago and im stuck on twilight princess for the 30th time. I love all the channels... (im posting this on the internet channel)

Esuohlim · #**115**

You can't find a Wii anywhere in this town. I'd be willing to buy it in a year or two but right now I have so much on my DS to absorb that I can do without it for now.

Noodles · #**116**

You have to wait the last minuit befor christmas...or ask when somewhere will restock.

TORONTO, Dec 14 (Reuters Life!) - Video gamers relish violence on the screen but now players are becoming victims themselves -- of the latest gaming technology in which a wireless, wand-like device is used to direct on-screen action.

Using Nintendo's Wii, the most talked about of three new game consoles out this holiday, players of seemingly harmless games such as bowling and tennis are being left battered and bruised by the controller, not to mention damaging television screens and nearby ceiling fans and computers.

Nintendo has cautioned players on using a wrist strap with the controller and keeping their palms dry but Jim Walsh's blog (www.WiiHaveAProblem.com) is dedicated to sharing some of the amusing -- and embarrassing -- stories of what he calls "the latest trend in gaming violence."

Walsh, a Cleveland-based operating systems operator, launched the site last month after hearing his first Wii damage story -- his friend's remote crashed into his big-screen television -- to see what would happen.

He has been flooded with similar stories.

The site has received 3 million page views since it launched, and he receives 20 to 30 e-mails a day detailing woeful tales of over-enthusiastic players and Wii damage.

"Nintendo built a system that's fun," Walsh told Reuters in a phone interview. "You get really into it. Your hands get sweaty, next thing you know your remote goes flying into the dog."

Or your head -- which happened to one site contributor, Nicole, while she was bowling.

"I swung really hard to knock down the 50 plus pins and all of a sudden I realized my head hurt," wrote Nicole in a post accompanied by close-up pictures of her bruise.

"I was wearing the tether instead of it flying wildly into the air it stopped and swung back around and hit me in the head." She notes that she was sober at the time.

SAD MIX OF ALCOHOL AND WII

The site has its fair share of "we were playing Wii and drinking" stories which end up with a broken object or an injured person.

Then there are incidents when the wrist strap attached to the remote breaks, causing pain of the financial sort.

"A friend of mine that never plays video games actually got into playing the Wii," posts Dopefish. "About an hour into the festivities, he was bowling with too much enthusiasm and too little strap-around-the-wrist. BAM. Wii-mote, meet my $3,500 TV."

Since the bowling, throwing, swinging movement of the motion-sensitive remote corresponds directly with the action in the video game, the fate of an innocent television screen, for instance, rests in the hands of the user and the wrist-strap.

Nintendo has since addressed the wrist-strap issue. The company has released a thicker strap and has posted a safety warning on its Web site, highlighting, in bold, all-caps: "Do not let go of the Wii remote itself."

Walsh admitted that some of the Wii injuries and damage shared on his blog might have been prevented by following the safety information, but he also said toning it down may help.

"You have to remember that you're not really serving a ball at 90 miles an hour ... so you don't end up on the front of my Web site," he said.
