I can. I can also see how easy that error was to have made. Oh and to
add to it, it was the first time I had used this device. Yes, I did
check the surrounding area for potential contact, but since I moved to
a slightly different part of the room, I was obviously now in a
"danger zone". Maybe your rooms are all padded?

I dont have eyes in the back of my head - and it wasn't at my house.
ie unfamiliar surroundings.

No, I just googled Wii damage and thousands of links popped up. I did
however look at some of the content. I have no doubt that thousands of
Wii's will go through life without any damage. I just cant figure why
you continue to go "LALALALALALALALA"

So read some of the others.

So you found a group of pissed up tossers. So what. Do you think
they'd have a damaged TV set if they were playing on a 360?
Are you suggesting a Wii shouldnt be played in groups? When you've had
a drink? Oh, what fun.
