But Jim, do you approve?

I'm still wating for the wired glove interface.

If it leads to cheaper and improved motion controls, then I don't see any wrong with this. Motion controls might suck now, but I see alot of potential in it in the future. Maybe it might lead to completely new genres in videogames? I'm excited!

so girls licking things is useless now?

Awesome. I'll look forward to a future of reduced functionality and repetitiveness.

somebody find a cure for Wii fever, before I initiate the emergency cure, quarantine the patients in one area and call in a tactical nuclear strike on said area.

Sarcasm aside I still can't figure out why the thing is so popular ( and I have one ), I guess its just beyond my ability to comprehend. Well somebody must be enjoying the things so good for them, just keep the thing faaar away from my HD systems.

@Black Nexus:

Because it's allowing people who normally would not be into video games to play them, and they're finding out that some of them actually can be -- shock! -- fun, and not just for the young whipper-snappers. The 360 and PS3 have an image for being the hardcorde, angst-creating, go-in-and-kill-the-enemy consoles, which I'm sure turned off most non-gaming adults. Then here came the Wii which allowed the majority of people who don't want the hardcore games to still play video games and actually have fun with it - after the muscular pain of five straight hours of Wii Bowling goes away, of course.

You and I aren't the reason it's popular. It's the people we tend to ignore who never knew that they could actually get into video games - and with their families, no less.

Of course, it also helped to spawn the latest batch of techo-cretins and asshole fanboys who look at a fucking white box as some kind of threat to the 360/PS3. Personally, I think that's more difficult to understand than why the Wii is so popular, courtesy of the incredibly low IQ rate of most fanboys, regardless of which of the three boxes they masturbate to.

Now, before I get called a Wii fanboy, I'm going to fire up from some H.A.W.X. on my 360 after I upgrade my PS3 to firmware 2.70. :P

And don't bother, -PL-. You know what my response will be anyway.

@ john B
thanks that actually explains alot.

Great interactive porn is on it's way the harder you waggle your dick the more the movie responds :D

You know i always told myself i'd never end up like my grandmother unable to use even a simple TV remote. If waggle is the way technology is headed i'm pretty sure that's just how i'll end up, stubborn and helpless (I like buttons damnit!).
