First LCD breakages reported

November 28, 2006 on 1:51 am | In TV Damage, Broken Straps |

So, if you were beginning to think you were immune to a bit of Wii damage just because you didn’t have a Rear Projection TV (RPTV), think again. We’ve found no less than three LCD breakages in the last couple of days, and this time it’s not just TVs.

Victim #5 - LCD TV: Race

Ouch! This really is dramatic. I guess by their very nature, all the RPTV breakages we’ve seen so far don’t leave the picture too messed up - after all, the action is all coming from the back. But with LCDs, it’s a different matter. Ever stood on your pocket calculator? Or the Casio watch you had when you were 11? Now multiply the bleeding effect up to 37 inches of glorious Viewsonic LCD TV. One eyewitness to this particular beauty reported that with the TV off, the screen looked ‘kinda dented’. But when switched on… well, you can see for yourself - the details are gory in the extreme.

Putting the sadness of another dead TV aside, I think congratulations are in order for Race. Although the method of execution doesn’t get many points for originality (Bowling, Broken Strap etc.) this victim just bounces right back. Not only has she replaced the TV, but she’s pimped her Wiimote and is back in lane 8 for another game. Using a Wii Controller Glove (for extra grip) from Gamestop and a DIY zip tie custom strap that would make MacGyver proud, Race is ready for more Wii action with her ‘delightful system’. I’m gobsmacked. Nintendo have performed a miracle here - despite causing thousands of dollars worth of TV damage, users are getting straight back into the game…

Victim #6 - LCD Screen on Laptop - Ugamer_X

Victim #7 - LCD Screen on PDA - Rafael Montano

These next two victims have been caught leaving their other play things in the line of fire. No clues about the games used here, or whether involved a strap breaking incident, but the results are as dramatic as we saw with the TV. Beware - blue screen of death.

Cracked HP Laptop Cracked HP PDA

What a striking coincidence - these are both HP products. If you’ve been leaving your mobile computing gadgets round the telly again and you’ve suffered a similar fate, let us know so we can let HP off the hook (or dig their hole a little deeper!).

And the moral of this post - keep your pad tidy and your precious portables may avoid Wii impact.

when i saw your tv…

there were only 2 words that came to mind

head shot

lemme guess… you were bowling

and you let go of the whole remote when you throw the ball

it is not a bowling ball it is a game controller

fLee there is a thing called suspension of disbelief, which means that the Player can believe that he’s playing in real life and go intense. Yet, you base your facts over “let go of hand”. You are making Nintendo look like they did nothing wrong with the strap, the parts or anything of that nature. You are blaming the user more than Nintendo.

its not nintendos fault

I want you to take a paper clip
and bend it around a few times, using the same force and speed each time, it will break.

the strap is designed for the very rare times you screw up, its not designed for you to throw it like a bowling ball each time.

seriously try the paper clip thing

ps

and who gets so into BOWLING that they think they are at they are really bowling?

Comment by psychoticfish8` — February 14, 2007 #
yet you spell like you are….
I agree, people who let go of their controllers everytime they play ANY game are asking for it. If it was made for that, it would be a bungee cord.

[…] Free 50 cent back tattoo pictures and images qxqer1z Selecting and acquiring the ideal fishing boat is a real art for someone who has already gone through many experiences as far as boating is concerned. However, it can be a daunting task to those who have not yet experienced buying a fishing boat.To make the activity easier for the first timers, here is a list of tips that they can use when choosing an ideal fishing boat.1. It is important to consider the purpose of the fishing boat.Buying a fishing boat has only one purpose: to be used in fishing. However, before choosing the perfect fishing boat, it is important to consider also the other purposes.First, the place where the fishing boat will be used should be taken into account. Will it be in the ocean or in other bodies of water like lakes?Second, the time of the day it will be used. Will it be for day trips or for overnight fishing activities?If the fishing boat will be used for ocean cruising and overnight stays, it would be better to buy a fishing boat that has a hull. This is specifically designed for rough waters. This design is meant to ride with the waves, hence, providing more comfort to anglers while on board.2. The budgetWhen buying a fishing boat, it is important to know if the buyer can afford to acquire a boat. Fishing boats, or any boat for that matter, can be very expensive. Hence, the buyer should know how far his budget would go as far as fishing boat prices are concerned.3. The warrantiesIt is extremely important to know if the fishing boat has a warranty. It should be analyzed and meticulously scrutinized because not all warranties are created equal.Hence, it is best to buy a fishing boat from dealers that will provide the necessary services in case their product is found to be defective.4. The certificationWhen buying a fishing boat, it is important to take note if it is certified by the “National Marine Manufacturers Association” or the NMMA. This agency guarantees that the certification they give to every boat manufacturer is a guarantee that the fishing boat had passed the agency’s standard of excellence.The bottom line is that, people should do more than just look around when choosing the ideal fishing boat. They should learn how to look for the important details in order to ensure that the boat they have acquired is definitely worth their money.FishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishing Posted by raicha at 11:54 […]
