Free Straps!

So after a bunch of porkers couldn't keep their grip on a wiimote and smashed their window or TV, Nintendo is offering a recall of the tethers. Maybe it the straps were to wimpy after all. Or maybe Nintendo doesn't think everyone will care enough to take advantage. At least now they'll have an adequate defense when someone claims they owe TV reparations. You should filled out a strap replacement form buddy, sorry.

Nothing Special Happens When You Get To 1000.

This is seriously not going to become a Wii-blog, and I don't know if I can let myself become a Nintendo fanboy. I was such a die hard Sega camper that the smooth transition to Sony was natural.

However, I was up till 2 last night playing Wii tennis. That noise is just fun. I know I'm not in the best shape of my life, but I guess I'm better off than some of these pudgers. I mean, I don't have to stop playing cause my arms are too sore. That's the complaint from these same folks that were willing to sleep on the street for video games. And Nintendo's response? Drum roll please... 'they may need to exercise more.' Ouch. But I like that answer; customers complain about your new product being hard to use, tell them they suck at life. Its not my fault if you have to take rests in between bites of a sammich.
