There is something very wrong with this...

A coworker sent me this:



I was hesitant to write about this and still am. I mean there are so many things wrong with this that I do not even know where to start. Frankly, I really do not know what to say. The girl is basically putting a strap-on on. This is some new Wii game in Japan. From ThinkGeek: "Prepare yourself by strapping on the included belt harness and jacking in your Wiimote. A series of toilets are presented on screen and the challenge is to tilt your body to control a never-ending stream of pee. Get as much pee in the toilets as you can while spilling as little on the floor as possible. Sounds easy eh? Well the toilets open and close whack-a-mole style and occasionally the stray cat or other cute critter pops up. Spray a cat for extra points. Get too much pee on the ground and your game is over."

I can image the possibility of games that may take advantage of the harness Wiimote adapter. Think about it...

What, two blogs in one day?...Someone must be bored at work.

Actually, I have a ton of shit to do. I just don't want to do it. There is NOTHING going on here today, which means I will probably leave soon.

I found this while looking at Engadget:

Wii used to hone surgeons' fine motor skills (click to read full story)

Now either this is a very genius idea or a very bad and scary idea. I mean I have played a lot of Wii games and I could see how this could be useful. My father, an Orthopedic Surgeon, has even played with a Wii and mentioned something along the lines of seeing this rigged to be used for "practice surgeries."

I would like to play with the Wii attachments they came up with for this though.

Don't get me wrong, this could be a great idea, however I would not want a doctor who was about to perform surgery on me to tell me something like "Don't worry kid, I just performed this surgery on the Wii and I got a 97% score." That would totally make me feel comfortable. If they do tell their patients something like that, I recommend they wait until the patient is already sedated on the operating table and counting backwards from ten.
