Surreptishus Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Damn, this was my biggest concern... the wiimote flying out of my hand during a vigorous motion. Nice to see the controller is sturdy, shame about the strap though. At least Nintendo will replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I assume he's referring to the article that talks about Nintendo replacing the guy's strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigranes Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Strap replacement should be fine... but man, you'd think they'd have tested this stuff. TV breaking is pretty sad, I wonder if any of them will have it repalced by Nintendo.

Pidesco Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 That list doesn't include one I saw on the net years ago which was: "Do not attempt to stop the chainsaw with your genitals." "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.

Diamond Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I don't think that'd be a real label though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidesco Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Imagine a really dumb guy who couldn't, for some reason, stop his chainsaw. And he attempts to stop it by holding the blade between his tighs, thus causing massive damage to his genitals. So he decides to sue the company for not having a warning on the label against such a situation. The company settles out of court and of course thinks it's better to be safe than sorry. And thus, we'd have such a warning on chainsaws.

Volourn Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 "All NWN1 portraits were crappy." Nintewndo should pay for the tv. They seem to have done a very poor job with their controller straps which directly led to the tv being broken. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Arkan Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 "All NWN1 portraits were crappy." Nintewndo should pay for the tv. They seem to have done a very poor job with their controller straps which directly led to the tv being broken. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No they shouldn't. Either way, one would have a hard time proving that the guy wasn't swinging the Wiimote around like a madman. If this was an epidemic like Xboxs overheating, catching on fire, or whatever, maybe. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, the game can be played simply by flickering the wrist, there is no need to actually swing in the air like a pro. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 "Either way, one would have a hard time proving that the guy wasn't swinging the Wiimote around like a madman." Doesn't matter. The strap shouldn't be snapping. Poor workmanship on part of Nintendo is what caused the accident to occur. They should pay for both the strap and tv.
