Cool setup, but it doesn’t look like fun…

We all know about the Wiimote strap issue. Problem solved.
See the Nintendo solution after the jump, not as impressive.
“Well I was worried about my Strap get loose, so I modified a little something just to make sure it wont.
Enjoy
The Handcufs are actually Fake from a Sex shop, but they hold quite some force.
Im afraid the only weak point is the small Chain from Pic 3 that is where it fits into the Controller…”

The Wii is more than just fun and games.
Videos after the jump.
“Six weeks ago, I began what has become a huge obsession of mine. It is called the “Wii Sports Experiment” (Read my original announcement of this from Early December ‘06). I outlined a 6 week game plan for myself, the idea being that I would continue ALL normal activity and eating habits, and simply add 30 minutes of Wii Sports to my day. For the past month and a half, I’ve stuck to these guidelines very strictly.
Weight:
For most people this is their most anticipated category. To be honest, I was genuinely surprised by my end results, so I’ll just get right to it. I lost 9lbs! Obviously this doesn’t compare to Jared and the Subway diet, but I started out at a weight that I’ve been at for the past 2 years. My weight has really never fluctuated from 180lbs. in those two years, this makes the weight loss that much more of an accomplishment for me, considering I did not change anything I ate or did. Also, this experiment took place during the holiday season, where I ate holiday dinners like I normally would and drank what I would normally would have drank. One last variable I had working against me was the winter season and not getting any outdoor exercise that I would normally would get in the warmer months. (I do have to admit it has been a mild Philly winter so far)”

Funny to think about two rival machines tied together.
“This is a fun bit of turnabout. In addition to missile control systems, a vacuum cleaner, and your house, the Wii remote can now also control a PS3.
The demonstration shows an ordinary PS3 running Linux using a Wiimote as the pointing device (as opposed to a mouse), with the Wiimote simply plugged into a spare USB port on the PS3 system.”

Once you have smashed something with your Wiimote you are then worthy of getting the shirt…
“Check out Seecolonslash for what is possibly the funniest gamer t-shirt I’ve seen all year. I’m just regretful it’s too late to get them for Christmas or I would have knocked many a gift off my list. Also, the site is open to people who need an outlet to sell nerdy stuff, so this is your opportunity to sell your homemade gamer fashions. Go for it!”

Have your WowWee robot get down using a Wiimote!
Video after the jump.
“The next version of Robosapien Dance Machine, the free open source program also known as Robodance, has support for the Nintendo Wii Remote. You can watch a funny sneak preview video of this new release in action now. ( Warning: this video contains graphic footage of a robot tickling Elmo! )
Robodance already lets you control your WowWee robot using just your voice, and when you add in the power of scripts with the easy to use Wii remote, you get an unbeatable combination for creating hilarious performances for you and your family. The easy to use drag and drop interface makes the program accessible to almost anyone with a Windows PC and a supported infrared transmitter.
Robodance won the coveted SourceForge Project Of The Month award for May 2005. The new version is expected to be released on February 1, 2007, or sooner.”
Watch as 1UP editors look at a screen and move a Wiimote to what they think is a Wii.
Video after the jump.
“Even reputed game journalists are not above gullibility. GameVideos.com Director Mark MacDonald sent us word of a prank he played in the 1UP / EGM offices recently where he used pre-recorded footage of Metroid Prime 2 and Auto Modelista, a “replica Wii joystiq [sic],” and a laptop battery posing as a sensor bar to fool more than a few editors that they had gotten a retail Wii unit in early.
Dan Hsu caught on quickly, after launching into a mini-tirade about unreturned e-mails to Nintendo. A few others, however, were no so lucky, even sitting down to play the games for many minutes before realizing they were mere marionettes in a sick and twisted mind game. All the embarrassment has been caught on tape, uploaded, and embedded below.”
