    Default what happens when you mix an lcd tv and wii remote?



    This is what happens.


    -All compliments of my 4 year old son.
    This happend over the weekend. I was upstairs and my wife was reading a book, so neither of us saw it happen. But he claims it was an accident.



    Warranty company is deliberating if they are going ot cover it or not. For my son's sake, I hope they do or its comming out of his college fund.

    And to top it off. Yesterday the vinyl cover on my truck bed completly came unglued from the frame and basically desinigrated.

    So what else can go wrong you ask? well, leaving this morning for work. my gargarge door openener failed to open the door all the way. so its going out too.

    Man, this is turning out to be one hell of a week and its only tuesday!!!

    You know the first wave of Wii consoles were released without the wrist strap. Nintendo were sick of having to pay for new TVs so they implemented it into the design after that. A Wii remote isn't the grippiest things to and thanks to the smooth surface it is quite easy to lose grip if you have sweaty hands. I threw a Wii remote at my brothers head by accident while playing tennis with my cousins lol, by accident .

    Real bad luck there Dan but you know what they say, bad things always come in three's. Things will get better for you.

    actually, as far as i remember, they did. but it was too thin, so they made it with thicker "robe".. i remember that we got a bunch down in the store that we could give to fokes that bought one and since then theyve put rubber thingies around all wii motes sold

    Make a rule that if he wants to play wii the remote must be tightly strapped around his wrist. Just like teaching kids to wear a seatbelt.

    By first wave I meant BETA consoles. When they were released they had the crappy ones which they then upgraded to the nylon braid ones.
