Yes, as a matter of fact they do.

 

Don't worry if your hands get sweaty when your gaming, it happens to a lot of people and most of the time it's a perfectly normal reaction to intense action.  Fortunately there are some things you can do to prevent sweaty hands.  There are surgerys and medication available from a doctor.  However, to many of us, this approach seems a little drastic.  One other solution is to use a hand antiperspirant.  It's a localized solution, it's temporary, and it works.  Unfortunately hand antiperspirants aren't something you can usually pick up at your local grocery store and they differ widely.  I would recommend one specifically for gamers.  One designed to not leave buildup on your controller, one that's non-toxic and does not stain your clothes.  I happen to be,, suprise, partial to GhostGrip.  

 

Until next time, keep your hands dry and have a better experience gaming.  


The Wii is just a toddler

 

At just 2 years old, the Wii has turned out some decent titles.  Here are my top 10.

 

10- Wii Sports  This is like the Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt of the original NES.  Why?  Not only does it ship with the system, it's also a pretty darn good universal title that almost anyone can play.  It's replay factor is through the roof.

9.  Super Paper Mario  Mario, Mario, Mario.  All the great and classic characters in primary colors but great gameplay.

8.  Boom Blox  Games like this are what the Wii is all about.  Get your friends together for some exciting play.

7.  Metroid Prime 3  One of the more sophisticated Wii games graphically and control wise.  Great title.

6.  Okami  A great cultural and storytelling experience.

5.  Mario Kart  Dude it's MarioKart

4.  Super Smash Bros. Brawl  Get some well known characters together for some fighting action, what's not to like.

3.  Super Mario Galaxy  A game that has Super and Mario in the title are gonna make a top 10 list.

2.  Animal Crossing: City Folk  

1.  World of Goo  A good fit for the Wii.  Family friendly, mentally challenging, fun, and it's good for you.


Warning, Warning!

 

The Wii Remote now has a few accessories available for it because basically the thing was flying out of peoples hands.  So a strap has been added and gel covers are available for better grip.  Well, the straps have shown breakage or slippage in some cases and the gel covers feel kinda weird.  Anyway, with that said, let's list the top 10 safety concerns for the Wii Remote.

 

Wii Remote Safety Concerns- Top 10

 

Number 10 - The Wii Remote can slip out of your hand while playing Wii bowling and hit your dog (who is laying directly in between you and the tv) in the ear hole.

Number 9 - While playing tennis on the Wii the remote could slip out during a backhand shot and pimp slap your step dad, causing him to spill his Pabst on the couch.

Number 8 - Same thing, you're playing tennis and during a backhand shot the remote slips, but the strap catches it, your step dads ok, but the remote swings around like a tether ball and smacks you in the temple causing severe pain and temporary blindness in your left eye if you're a righty and your right eye if you're a lefty.

Number 7 - We've all seen the ad's and stuff that show the remote slipping off and busting your brand new 42" HDTV LCD, but we all know that thing will probably just bounce off the tv and land on top of your the DVD player your sister left on, which happens to be spinning The Sound of Music or whatever it's called.  We all know, when it comes to Mary Poppins, sis and mom are gonna play on the same team so prepare for battle.

Number 6 - Bottom of the ninth, you're on the hill.  You broght the heat the last three pitches so you wanna mix it up a bit and throw a nasty curveball and try to catch the hitter off guard.  So you go through the motion and just at the last second break your wrist to try to put some nasty spin on the ball, the controller slips free and hits you in the family jewels,, ouch.

Number 5 - It's late, you get home from the office and see that for once your kids aren't bogarting the Wii so you dicide to sneak in a game of golf.  No time to warm up because you have no clue how much time you're gonna have so you wanna tee off straight away.  First hole, man, a straight long shot can set you up perfect for a short pitch onto the green and a birdy.  So you rare back and let it rip,,, ohhhhhh,,, abdominal hernia,,, I wonder if Aflack will cover it? 

Number 4 - You're playing homerun derby on the Wii and so far you've jacked a good many out of the yard so you're having Sports Center flashbacks where they show the homeruns of the day, so now you're really getting into your swing and feeling good.  Last round, here comes the pitch, you catch it perfect, back back back, gone!  While you were yelling back back back you did a bat flip and a bird hop out of the virtual batters box in your living room, and, your wife got it on all tape dude, nice.

Number 3 -  Your dog finds the smelly jel grip on your Wii remote inviting so it decides to knaw on it, pulling it and the Wii out of the entertainment center, the Wii possibly may be damaged as it falls to the floor.  Finally the dog tugs it free from the cord and starts chewing it on the top of the stairs, get's bored, leaves it there overnight.  Groggy and heading downstairs to start a pot of coffee in the morning, mom trips over the Wii controller, tumbles down the stair case and suffers a concusion and a broken collar bone.

Number 2 -  Your friend Chuck is such a prankster and always doing outlandish stuff to get attention.  You're trying to bowl a few frames on your Wii when he jumps in front of you and decides to moon you.

Number 1 - Wii Remote flies into tv breaks it, yeah, ok fine.  Wii player is playing Wii boxing too close to tv, hand flies into tv. Wii remote, tv and hand get broken.

 

 

 


Did someone say Wii rubber?

 

Ok, ok,, for most of us, ehh,, hmmm,, we can equate the use of the above mentioned substance to equal less sensativity.  Now, I don't know if you can officially say that the slip covers, gel covers, whatever covers that are made for the Nintendo Wii controllers are made out of rubber or not, the fact is, they are rather,, rubber-ish.  With that said, is there an alternative to putting a germ catching jelly jacket over your Wii controller?  I think so. 

 

Nintendo Wii Controller Sweat = Slippage

 

So, why the rubber controllers?  Maybe because the Wii remote was slipping out of players hands, threating LCD and Plasma screens everywhere.  What causes slippage, hmmm, maybe clammy clam shuckers, muggy mitts, greasy grubbers,  basically, sweaty hands.  So if you own a Wii and sweaty hands are causing you problems with controlling your controller, cut the problem off at the pass and get some help for those damp clampers.  For some, putting a bulky cover on the Wii remote is just not right.  It gets in the way, it's distracting, it's not natural.  If that's you, get some GhostGrip, shake it, put a dime size dab in your palm, rub your hands together, clap a few times, and GhostGrip will gently coat your grippers with a moisture preventing barrier, giving you a natural feel and grip on your controller.  

 

No need to wrap it, just get some GhostGrip, clap it and slap it..
