  • People cant hang onto their Wiimotes...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Link is broken, but I have heard of these people who throw their wiimotes.

Though throwing a Wii Remote is a big NO-NO anyways; the purpose of the wrist strap is to prevent it from dropping and possibly getting damaged. I think most people will not need the wrist strap anyways, it is not difficult to hold the controller, the strap is just an extra precaution; some people just insist on throwing them.

Yep, I see it, I think site editor states it a lot better than I did.

"So I was browsing the Nintendo Official Safety Guide and noticed it may be missing a few key details that users could find helpful. I was going to write some totally awesome post bashing the safety warnings. The post would even draw attention to how their remote illustration images aren't even the same image height... but then... I realized something. Corporations shouldn't have to inform you that swinging an object in the general direction of a TV has risks. Sure they have commercials where people swing the remote like mad - they are called ACTORS - and they're paid to do silly things that make us go buy innovation. Don't get me wrong, I think it sucks your TV is busted, I just think it's funny is all, and apparently so does everyone else."
