They didn't mention this practical use for a Wii controller in the operator's manual, evidently.
In times to come, there will doubtless be reports of roving gangs of Wii controller-armed heavyset thugs lurking around gaming stores and threatening PS3 and X-Box players with wtfpwnage headshots unless they renounce their fanboyism. Jack Thompson will love it.
Freshly baked comic type stuff. How delicious. Comic Author Tim Buckley points out that even thought it's been a little while since the Wii name was announced, the innuendo never gets old. Never ever. Be sure to head over there and check out the comic in gloriously full resolution. CtrlAltDel-Online
Yum! Comics. What we have here is an artful expression of satire focused around a semi-sureal situation regarding work, injury, and the Wii. It's paletteable, which is to say that it made me smile.
This is why I never use the LOL expression, aside from being lazy, it's just not truthful, and I want to be truthful with you. I heard someone say they were going to start a trend of using LQTM, which is "laugh quietly to myself." In my estimation, this is a much better expression. I'm joining this man in his trend. You can check out the comic over at Real Life Comics.com.
I go back and forth with comics. Oh sure I smirk, grin even, but what the heck do I say about it? The answer is not very much. I'm just going to act as that balloon shaped like a blimp over a car dealership and alert you to where something that is mildly funny is located. No I'm not talking about salesmen that wear plaid jackets and act like they know me, I'm mean funny like it's related to the Wii and is humorous to some extent.
Another one of my favorite reads has a new comic up relating to spastic Wii play. This particular time it's a giant blue troll that has the mind of child. Yes, I have noticed the similarities between a few of our submitters and this troll, but I'm not going to go any further into it. You can be sure to take a look at the full comic strip over at Pvponline.com.
In case anyone missed it there is another Penny Arcade comic regarding injuries that happen to involve a Wii remote. If anybody out there has an injury that is like this, be sure to never ever never send me pictures of this particular region. Promise me...
In true Penny Arcade fashion, it's funny. I admit it I'm a fan. You can see the hilarity from every angle available to the public right here.
In the arena of chuckle-worthy, we've got another bit graphically represented funny. This time it's from Deviant Art. They were even kind enough to say that we were their inspiration. How nice of them.
You might have assumed this Wii Remote problem wasn't prophesized over a year ago. Well you would be wrong. Not only was it foretold but a cartoon artist with a secret love of furries. (Omega5000 created the above video.) But if you visit his site you'll notice he created it on September 18th 2005. Yes, two thousand and five, back in the days of the 'revolution', that was a long long time ago. Here's what our flash artist had to say about the video:
To be honest, this is the first animation that took me 2 to 3 days to finish. The others you've seen in Flash Experiments No. 2 were all done under 1 day... So, I've put a lot of work into it. Hope you like it (and the bonus comic).
It basically shows my thoughts on the Revolution's Controller. (Or it's Trailer, view it here: [link] ) If you're supposed to wave that thing around like portrayed in that trailer, I have my doubts that the controller will live very long. Especially in the hands of little kids or people with sweaty palms.
Just kidding, I can't wait to try that thing out when it's available. Nintendo rocks Hardcore! At least they try to make innovations besides graphical innovations...
Well we're not kidding here Omega, you really need to get that whole furry problem looked into.
Well the wordsmith/graphic design team at Penny Arcade decided to tackle the oh so controversial subject of the Wii weather channel. I'm not ashamed to say that I didn't really expect to see the weather channel as fodder for comic strips, but I'm easy. I'm easy like Sunday morning if you wanted to compare my easyness to something. Tycho introduced his comic by saying...
"To be honest, I don't even know if a constant stream of content is as important to these shy, mysterious creatures [Gamers] as it is to us. I can tell you that the Forecast channel does have merit, even to the hardcore, but one must be creative in its application."
And here you thought Wii sports was the only diversion to come bundled with your Wii.
Apparently Race and Arlo can't get enough of the dangers involved with careless Wii play, because they've got another comic on the subject. You can see the full version over at Level99Comic.com. This one bears a striking resemblance to the real life situation that we covered earlier. This comic does remind us of a good point, if you're trying to hide spousal abuse in a relationship, the Wii is currently a trendy thing to blame. "Falling down stairs" and "playing baseball" will always be there, but for the hip kids of today... blaming the Wii is the cool way to hide problems. Just take all that hurt and bottle it up inside. Oh sure, it will be a bad day when you snap and kill six people with a crowbar, but every plan has it's ups and downs.
WELCOME!
"Wii have a problem" is a blog focused on bringing you the latest trend in gaming violence. That of damage caused by "window lickers" who should not be participating in activity of any form... yet own a Wii. Why? Because we're fanboys that's why.
