So 3 people on my dorm floor have a Wii. Interesting. One of them already almost broke the wiimote, and another, well, Wii Sports boxing… One of them has Trauma Center: Second Opinion. Interesting game. "Doctor!"

I can't remember if it was here on 64D, or here at college - someone had a friend who bought a Wii. They were playing, and impaled the wiimote into their plasma screen tv by accident. TV is ruined, but the wiimote is okay. Hence the small cartoon.

I am static prone. I got zapped 10 times last night within 3 minutes, heating up some pizza rolls. 7 times by the microwave, once by the water-faucet's handle, <i>and once by the water pouring from the faucet.</i>

You may say "But that's only nine!" and you are correct. After this all happened, I leaned against a nice, safe wall. Drywall, sheetrock. Guess what. ZAP! How the hell do you get shocked by <b>sheetrock</b>?

As I said, I am static-prone; i get zapped by things other people don't. And I get zapped hard. Not a little crackle - a full blown "POP".

So I made some logo for a website I intend to create.

God, I wish I had Flash - I could do a much better job on my drawings.

That's a funny story. Let me see, glass vs. plastic. I can see how the TV would recieve the damage, but what was going on to do that? Did he throw or slam? I can see how throwing it would be an accident, but that's what the wriststrap is for. And slamming it into the TV, tsk tsk. You really should be further. I hop he learned a valuable lesson.

By the way, nice picture.

ROTFLMAO I have times when I get shocked like none other on strange things too but that's just crazy :D Oh and it's only a matter of time before we hear more wiimotes broken, that have broken things and knocking people out. I mean really people will get frusterated, swing harder and faster, and WAM! Sweetness :)

That happened to some guy on GameFAQs.

Shiny indeed.

No snap? Just crackle and POP?

Precisely - WAM without wriststrap. Sweaty hands make less grip…

Wow, I can't imagine how bad that would suck.

Mabye you're doing something to charge yourself with static electricity? But even then, drywall?

Oh, and check this out: http://www.wiihaveaproblem.com

Apparently, it's quite common.

Nothing a little duct tape can't fix, eh?

That site is kinda funny, all those broken things…

Im the complete opposite. I seem to have the ability to shock things at will. *cough! sister!

No not all the time :P but it happens sometimes.
