Today's hottest game video: Wii fatality
by Kevin Kelly

It was only a matter of time. We bow our heads in a moment of silence for the first Nintendo Wii fatality. Is this a wakeup call to the industry? DO YOU HEAR THE CALL?
Seriously, they joke on the site that Fox News will see this and think its real. We're pretty sure that somewhere, somehow, someone is already believing it. Wait for the backlash to hit, probably spearheaded by everyone's favorite political gamehater, He Who Shall Not Be Named. In fact, let's declare a moratorium on him in the news, unless something spectacular happens, for all of 2007.
Check out the video after the jump, and use your Wiis carefully out there, folks.

thats what you get for walking infront of someone while in the middle of a good game, I've considered it with the old wired controllers, woulda have been more obvious though, so I never ended up killing anyone.
seriously though, NEVER WALK INFRONT OF ME WHILE PLAYING!!

Draco, you don't get out much do you?
Donkey Kong @ Dec 22nd 2006 1:03AM
that was a pretty good video
Draco @ Dec 22nd 2006 1:03AM
lol. that was an obvious exageration
Actually I rarely play games, but I must say, when I was a kid, my mom walking infront (when it would have been just as simple to go around)of me while playing Super Mario or hockey was really irratating :P

wtf...there isnt even a video...and yet there are 5 comments already....6 including mine
T_ConX @ Dec 22nd 2006 1:40AM
POCKoCLOCK is right. I can't see the video...?
T_ConX @ Dec 22nd 2006 1:41AM
on further investigation, click "Read" to see the video...
frank @ Dec 22nd 2006 1:43AM
Like POCKoCLOCK say, this post is INCREDIBLY confusing. Especially because there is no video after the jump, I wasn't sure if you were talking about Mortal Kombat or something else until I pressed "Read."

Looks like someone forgot to add the code for the video, perhaps? ;)

I know its staged and all that, but that kind of excessive Wiimote waving is really not necessary.
I give the video a small 'heh' laugh. Not all that funny IMHO.
Jesus Christ @ Dec 22nd 2006 2:54AM
That's not funny. My brother died that way.
busydoingnothing @ Dec 22nd 2006 11:27AM
Ahhh man, that's hilarious.
bobby @ Dec 22nd 2006 4:01PM
wow. so did they cut a wiimote apart to stage this? thats tragic. cool trick though.
I was thinking, isnt a lawsuit over the wiimotes about as stupid as someone suing a baseball bat manufacturer because someone lets go of a bat and it hits someone?
The Demon Clown @ Dec 22nd 2006 3:59AM
Has nobody else thought to mourn the Wiimote, a third of whose body had to be lost for this movie?!
FSK405K @ Dec 22nd 2006 5:45AM
ahhh! My Wii's browser cant play the video! But I can fill this form.
Moogle @ Dec 22nd 2006 7:48AM
The video *is* embedded. Flashblock shows me the right placeholder for the flash player, but when clicked it disappears. Seems the problem is on GameVideo's end.
ToastyBuffoon @ Dec 22nd 2006 8:32AM
Needs more blood.
kelekod @ Dec 22nd 2006 8:51AM
Can't see the video on the Wii or computer.
Shang Tsung @ Dec 22nd 2006 2:43PM
That photo must be doctored. As much as I like Goro, Kintaro would smoke him.

"That's not funny. My brother died that way."
Can I have his nunchuck?

"everyone's favorite political gamehater, He Who Shall Not Be Named."
You know one time I saw You-know-who feeding on Unicorn blood. At the time I though nothing of it, but now it's all starting to come together...
Adam @ Dec 22nd 2006 10:35AM
Wii is now connected to the series of tubes and this is video of the day?
Oh well I guess i'll have to jump on a real computer to watch....
Jim @ Dec 22nd 2006 10:45AM
HAHA: NOT funny. :(
Greg2k @ Dec 22nd 2006 11:12AM
I find it funny how rogue says Draco doesn't get out much when rogue posts only 1 minute after Draco.
PWNED
The_Boo @ Dec 22nd 2006 11:22AM
Would've been funnier if it were real.
Justagirl @ Dec 22nd 2006 1:43PM
RobotRock - Nice! Still chuckling. :-)

Arggghhh... that video has nothing to do with Joey and David.com - they were just lucky enough to have their ad offered up when a supposed 'journalist' first viewed the clip and so decided it was from them.
