I agree with Rocketpig. He can't be banned until we get proof of his new Wii.

I just think its funny that if he did buy a Wii he helped contribute to his ban =P

If it hits 20m exactly he has nobody to blame but himself ...of course I suppose it would have sold anyways =P

Ban his ass! BAN HIS ASS!

Nah, it's cool. The deal was he got banned if the Wii hit 20m. Plus, it will give him a week to conjure an image of this Wii he keeps talking about.

Best of luck on your week off leo-j, we will continue the SDF without you



Off topic

Please forgive me, but I noticed the Wii cartoon and I remembered a quandary I had last year. Does anyone else use the Wii mote backwards like I do. First let me say this I am right handed. However every time I see the Wii mote in use its in the right hand and the Nunchuk is in the left hand. However for some reason I have always used them in the opposite manner.

Which is rather strange when you think about it, because every single Nintendo analog controller has had the stick to the left, and even before that the digital pad was to the left. However I am playing the controller in what I suppose is reverse.

Anyone else find that they have done this. The only explanation I have so far is that its a by product of using a mouse to game. Meaning I prefer analog movement from the right now rather then the left.

Yes I have a Wii I don't play it much, but I do have one.



I tried playing it "backwards" once but didn't like the feel and switched positions immediately afterward.

Though it's quite enlightening to know that you don't play your Wii much. It's something we were all clamoring to know.

There are a lot of people who don't use their Wii much. It goes with the territory of having a large percentage of your buyers/users in the casual and non-gaming demographics.

One would hope the hundreds of thousands of Wiis being flipped on E-bay for around $400 are actually being used regularly though.
