what the ****?

I nearly came on myself when I saw all these, what is wrong with you people

The door unlocking is interesting, the CS mod is an improvement on an awkward idea and the pc-Wii thing would seriously annoy me (the Wii menu screen grates on me).

I'm most intriuged by the door unlocking... i'd like to see more applications of it though, the lock is a great start.

The response time of the Wii remote on the PC looks very poor. That dude would get destroyed in-game.

it's only been released since feb11 of this year.. it might take them a while to get it perfect, but I think it's a ****ing great step. Even if it's just for lying in bed and watching movies using the wiimote, it's awesome.

I thought the "whelm" was an april fools joke.

did anyone see that clip on kotaku where they were using the wii mote as a themerin (sp) and he played the star trek theme with it.


that would make an awesome game!
