It was inevitable

People are already reporting cases of "Wii Elbow."

As odd as this sounds, I now kind of want a wii.

That's what happens when you spend too much time "playing with your wii". :)

Ha! My favorite part:

Another hazard: collisions. All those flailing arms can sometimes inadvertently smack into lamps, furniture and even competing players. IGN.com, a popular site that reviews videogames, said one player testing the Wii lost her grip and sent the controller flying into a wall. Blaine Stuart of Rochester, N.Y., mistakenly whacked his fiancée, Shelly Haefele, while playing tennis and also accidentally hit his dog while bowling.

I dunno... if I want to exercise, I'll actually get out and exercise. I'm waiting for the Xbox to come out with a Holosuite system...THEN you'll see something ;)

I wonder if that's just due to dumbasses who get too much into the gameplay.

Now in their defense for optimal bowling success you do have to do "the secret weapon" (a triple flip and a release of the trigger. Whups, not so secret.)

But lame 'injuries' aside... are we the only geeks that have taken to calling the controller the 'wiimote'?

[yendi]

So do I.

I was waiting for a comment like that. :-)

Well, the dog clearly needed to work on his paw-eye coordination.

Dumbasses playing videogames?

That's umpossible

I hadn't heard that term before, so you might be the first!

We played with a friend's Wii after Thanksgiving dinner. The boxing game is pretty intense. I woke up with sore arms and legs on Friday. I figured that my legs and feet were sore because I had been on them a lot more than usual on Thursday in the kitchen, but I couldn't figure out why my arms were so sore. I mean, our turkey was only 10 lbs. Now you've reminded me; it's because I cyber-beat up my husband. :)

Ah, geek love! :-)

How many geeks actually get any exercise?

Obviously, when they exert themselves for the first time, they might get a bit sore. ;)

I've heard it before, once on G4 I think when they were reviewing it, and a couple other places online.

could be...

but google says: Results 1 - 100 of about 3,000,000 for wiimote.
not.
