Live feed: watch someone play the Wii for a week

If you've been unable to score yourself a Wii yet, we'll give you the next best thing: a live video feed of someone playing the Wii for a week straight. Gamer Yoshi Madness will be playing the Wii using these guidelines:- He will only be sleeping four hours a day (usually from 2:00AM until 6:00AM, he claims)
- He'll update the blog on his site every four hours
- He will only be leaving his room to a) use the bathroom (thank god -- although he goes on to say "if it's a deuce then it might take 15 minutes, classy) or b) if his dad needs something (parents and relatives might be over for Thanksgiving).
Just be sure to allow yourself ample time for deucing.
[Thanks, BB]

He need to get laid, this clearly shows he doesnt have a girlfriend, or for the same fact any friends, if I would atempt an audacity like this one, my friends would storm in my house and burn my wii, the lonely life of japanese otakus

What/Where is the link to the feed?
Skwurl @ Nov 20th 2006 10:26AM
This the most retarded thing I've ever read. Way to feed the sterotype, you moron.

Yea, the wii is meant to bring people together.. like families and friends.. not, to seclude yourself in your room and play for a week on end. Lets see how long he lasts.

He seems like a cool guy, I can't believe the feed is performing so well.

I think its pretty bad ass. I can get an idea on what the games are like and know if I should buy or not.

Yeah...this is kinda pointless. More salt in the wounds to those who couldn't get a system.
Orangecoke @ Nov 20th 2006 11:07AM
Hasn't he read the news stories from Asia about people dying from playing too much?
Pulse @ Nov 20th 2006 11:16AM
I shed a tear for this guy, he is doing what many of us couldn't, well some of us none hardcore gamers anyway, he was a brave guy...
SALUTE!
But being serious, I could never do this, I'd be a complete laughing stock, I'd loose my friends, my gf, heck, I'd have no one.
Okay, the question now is, who is going to sit for a whole week and watch this guy play his Wii on the live feed? :)
hohoho @ Nov 20th 2006 11:16AM
haha... this guy broke his tv screen playing wii! Over-excited = over zealous swing = flying wiimote!

#13 - And that is why you can't play Wii Sports for 5 minutes without a reminder to use the wrist strap.

It'd be cool if more than 10% of the feed's view was some Wii action. We can't really see much of anything, except for his hands and the laptop, and a tiny little TV.
He needs to zoom... OR ELSE.

That's nothing. Us Wow players don't even sleep ;p
daniel @ Nov 20th 2006 5:28PM
i've done four hours of sleep a week straight easy and thats while playing soccer everyady for a few hours. its really not that hard. after a certain point everythign is just run on adrenaline. not exactly good for you though.

"one week straight with only four hours sleep a night? That's a recipe for insanity."
Welcome to college.

This is one of the funniest posts I have read in a long time! Kevin...hilarious! (Classy!)
Joe @ Nov 20th 2006 9:20PM
I watched for a few minutes and I wasn't that impressed. It looked just like the original Zelda I had 20 years ago to me.
Leto @ Nov 20th 2006 10:04PM
He's playing Red Steel right now, damn the game looks boring as hell. He had to do two sword fights in a row.

I'm pretty sure that this site did something to my computer. I went on there, warning messages popped up, I ignored them, x-ed out of them. Browser froze, crashed, and would not restart. I uses Ad-aware, found malware. Rebooted my computer. Anybody else experience something similar with this site? I'm not clicking on that link again, I'll tell you that much...
