Nintendo W Two. And people who throw their Wiimotes.

Get to know those other listeners of Orange Lounge Radio... maybe things you didn't even want to know about o_O

Nintendo W Two. And people who throw their Wiimotes.

Postby ctbx » Sat Nov 25, 2006 9:52 am

Am I the only one noticing many parents and middle-aged folk calling the Nintendo Wii the "Nintendo W Two"?

It's called a Wii. It is pronounced exactly the same as the word "we"... It is NOT called a "Nintendo W Two". Sheesh.

Everywhere I go, I hear parents with their kids going around calling it a NINTENDO W TWO. Even their kids are correcting them, saying that it's called a "Wii", but the parents just ignore them and continue calling it a W Two.

At first, it was kind of amusing. Now it's just getting annoying. I hear it on the radio, on TV, and in stores. I wish it would stop.

Edit: Also, to the idiots who keep throwing their Wiimotes at their TVs, STOP FLINGING THE DAMN THING AROUND SO MUCH. USE THE WRIST STRAP. Oh, and if you're breaking the wrist strap, don't blame it on Nintendo. The wrist straps are fine. If the strap breaks, did you ever think of the possibility that you may be USING THE WIIMOTE IN A WAY THAT IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE USED?! Right. Learn to play correctly plox. Kthx.

Example of a person who fails:

You have to treat the Wrist strap as though its a seatbelt... When your friends get in the car you make them put on their seatbelt... They bitch but in the end it saves everyone alot of money and possibly their lives.... (because if any of my friends throw the Wii-mote at the TV and break it ill kill'em)

Edit: Also that guy in the video is a moron... There is no reason to serve that fucking hard for Wii tennis...

Also i got one of those rubber Wii gloves/covers for my Wii-mote... It works fine and is comfortable... Its also comes with a extra strap thats thicker and stronger than the stock one (actually its double the thickness from what i tested)... The only issue with it is that its like fitting into a tight wet-suite... Its really tough to get on and off... But its worth it...

They are $10 down at CC this weekend and $15 over at Target... I would strongly consider picking one up.... Because after 3 hours of Zelda your hands do get moist
