| TV's Finally Strike Back Against Wii Remotes |

 Here's a small turnabout. This time in the Wii remote vs. TV, the TV actually seems to have won this one. There is always the chance, that this email may have been sent by the television industry in an attempt to save face in light of a small remote being capable of destroying TV's while remaining unharmed. Let's hear what Andrew has to say...
"I was playing Wii Sports Baseball and was actually going through the motions, trying to bat like I normally would, but decided to swap things up a bit and tethered the controller strap to my /left/ hand. I was feeling pretty good about the setup and had 10 homeruns to my name, and on one at-bat I went to swing and the controller launched out of my hand. Now, I'm playing almost two feet from my 27" 4:3 television because of a lack of room space, and had pretty much accepted the fact that if anyone released the remote and it struck the TV, chances are it would go /through/ the screen. Much to my surprise, however, my TV is rather resiliant! The head of the controller slammed into the top left of the glass screen and bounced off, ejecting the battery case and the batteries. The screen is fine, thankfully, and after finding everything again I reassembled the controller and attempted to turn it on...with no luck. I made sure to press every button available and noticed a slight shaking noise coming from within the controller shell. I'm calling killed-in-action on this Wiimote and donating the body to science. -Andrew"
Well that's an interesting story "Andrew", if that's your real name... Assuming you're not just a thinly vieled representative from the TV industry trying to save face, the Wii remotes are still far ahead in the "who wins in a collision" discussion. |
