Wii Have a problem!

[RobP]

Can I sue Wilson for repetitive stress from throwing a real football?

Yes, and Playboy for Carpel Tunnel syndrome.

[Lex]

ROFL Robert! Have you seen the year end issue? Great um articles. :rofl:

ROFL Robert! Have you seen the year end issue? Great um articles. :rofl:

No I didnt get to see that one, but I dont get the regular version of Playboy, I get the version for married men, same girl featured every month.... :tired: :alol:

[Lex]

But Robert, Variety is the spice of life. :B

[Lex]

did I ever share the falls I hiked to? I just did some editing to a raw file, it's one thing I've worked to get better at this weekend while feeling cruddy, using Capture 4.0 to enhance my work. Photoshop is good too, but there are some things that work better in Capture. What I am having trouble with though is figuring out how to do both, hmmm...

[wildfire99]

To complete the total and utter hijacking of the thread...

That picture is beautiful, and great font at the bottom too. What was the exposure length on that one?

[Lex]

thanks Patrick.

the font is called commscriptTT Of course, the effects are photoshopped.

I can't recall where I got that font.

2.5 seconds exposure, aperture F8, using a neutral density filter, 17-35 lens shot at 17mm @ 125 ISO.

This is a pretty dark place under forest canopy, there's still some mountain significantly above this spot, so it's rather shaded at 3:30 to 4 in afternoon. Truthfully, it may well be shaded every day every minute, lol.

I still need to look and make sure this is the best image, as I shot quite a few at different settings, it's what I do. I call it blasting a shoot. Don't go in with a light meter setting up precisely for one shot, use the digital, shoot like a model photographer does, but not quite as fast as that. :-)

Home security: Someone has Hijacked this thread aren't Wii?? :rofl:

Brilliant photo Lex! :T I was anticipating ,and waiting for that Playboy picture to show up!! ( The one you and soundgravy were talking about ):rofl: :lol:

Cheers!

[Lex]

Thank you!

Haha chinets, let me scan a few. Could take a while though, as they are some BIG documents. :rofl:

[Lex]

Whoops! You know what guys? I thought I was posting to Homebrew. I must have been sicker than I thought! ROFL.

Ok, I am officially ending this subliminal photography session. Back to Wii!

Nintendo seems to be changing the minds of our children. Just yesterday, I was driving by a playground, and heard a kid go down a slide and scream,

"Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiii"

[birdman71]

Lex,

I agree with what you're saying. I was trying to be a little tongue in cheek. To clarify, I wasn't even referring to the broken TVs and the strap issue, I was referring to a comment on page one about repetitive stress from using the controller. I still think it's a good point, if I can sue Nintendo for repetitive stress from a game controller (forget about the strap) why can't I sue Wilson for throwing a football?

For clarity, I personally don't wanna sue anybody.

[Chris D]

... and I hear that French people are now saying "Wii" instead of "yes".

[chinets]

The Legal Eagle that goes Wiiiiiiiii

No, Birdman71 , underthe Wilson football theory,you cannot sue, because you can foresee that such a thing can happen ,and there is NO domino effect to it or a cahin of events that will take place as soon as that ball leaves your hand, as it is forseeable that an injury can be made ,and therefore it is not the fault of the football ,but rather the person throwing the football. Since Nintendo could forsee that the controler could fly out of someone's hands, and has provided straps, then they have covered up any negligence on their behalf :W But if the straps are not strong enough to withold an average gamer ,then they could potentially be sued if the strap is not up to par, and that would be under Manufacturer defect without negligence, as it was not forseeable ,therefore not a tort crime!! Does that answer some of your inquiries :E

Now Chris, I have heard Kids also say I have to go Wii Wii too ,when they point at toilets!!! :lol: But Wii ,you are correct about those French kids! :rofl:

Wiiiiiiiii gotta go Now :W
Cheers

[chinets]

Lex,
No problem Wii have the patience and the stamina to wait for those Big juicy documents! :T
Wii have No problem with that! :rofl:
Cheers... you make me laugh

[Lex]

heck birdman, I don't even know what I am saying, what am I saying? Really, these things can go both ways, I see your point about repetitive stress. Perhaps their answer would be you should run the ball half the plays, instead of throwing every down. ROFLMAO.

[chinets]

Hey Lex ,

Is that the :beer: Talking?????? :rofl:

Hang in there!! :td:

Cheers my friend

[Lex]

Ahh, chinets has some law background. Please, comb your hair another way to cover it up, haha. kidding. Good point.

It was medication, not beer talking. :0)

[chinets]

Lex,

AttorneyAt-Law at your service!

Sorry, about the medication 8x) Do you need a good Medical Mal-Practise attorney? :E Just Kidding!

And thank GOD NOT bold yet :bluezoned:

I guess Wii are doing fine now?? :java:

Love your humor and have a nice day

[Nick M]

I see on the BBC's frontpage that Nintendo is doing a "recall" and sending out new straps for all owners, but deny that anything is actually wrong or dangerous if they are used properly.

Smart move on their part if you ask me.

[Race Car Driver]

is actually wrong or dangerous if they are used properly.

And by used properly any one with a brain would have to believe that means... DONT LET GO OF THE REMOTE! :g>

[peterS]

recall!

im surprised there havent been any suits (at least none reported)

[Chris D]

Yeah, I saw that Nintendo is replacing the Wii straps.

[Brandon B]

No, they are wiiplacing them. It's kind of wiidiculous they didn't do more wiisearch in this in the first place. It's wiilly basic product development.and you'd expect they would have wiilized that.

BB

[chinets]

Wiiilly ,That wouldn't surprise me :E

[Chris D]

Shhhhhh.... be wiiwy, wiiwy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits!

[chinets]

Chris,

It never ceases to amaze me how people will sue to profit from their own stupidity.

[David Meek]

You know, that's a really sad commentary on our society. :nonod:

[peterS]

im as anti lawyer/ lawsuit what have you as anyone but im really surprised at how people defend nintendo on the forums

i think they are at fault legaly and moraly. they screwed up and should pay for peoples busted tv
and the strap still looks too small
i wont buy one till proven otherwise
they should have offered to pay for any damaged tv due to the old straps imo
this isnt a case of trying to get rich, people had very expensive tvs distroyed by a using a defective product

Really?? I'm not in the best state of mind to defend, but really??? GM should pay for a garage because you drove your car too fast into it and let go of the wheel?

[peterS]

i think a more applicable metaphor would be crashing your car but having needless bodily harm because the seat belt failed.

What a bunch of wimps. Real gamers wear their battle injuries as Badge of Honours.
