Today's hottest game video: World of Wiimote

by Zack Stern { Dec 30th 2006 at 12:00AM }

Today's most-watched YouTube game video shows more Wiimote-as-PC-input-device goodness; the simple hack drives World of Warcraft with the Bluetooth Wiimote-and-Nunchuk combination. Yes, by visiting wiili.org, you, too can become an uber-dork. (The controller hack is rooted in geekdom, but using it for WoW pushes it far into dork territory). Or try using the Wiimote to drive R.C. cars, Roombas, or a home entertainment system if that's more your style.

See the video after the break.

I think I heard something about about a tea kettle, I'm not sure though. But, why does every one try and piss off us americans and try and speak made up languages? You know what I mean........

The guy's just talking about which buttons do what. And yes, it's Norwegian.

I understand what he says, he speaks norwegian.
And he doesn't claim he hackd it, he only read the instructions on the webpage he displayd on the screan...

It's norwegian! Not rubbish! Though, no wonder you don't understand, you're all foreign.

The guy speaks Norwegian and just tells how he gathered together a few apps/scripts to do this.

He's using GlowePIE (which has been out for a while) and some "random crap" from forums for the mappings, and that's about it. The rest is just him showing what he's mapped to what and saying it's fun/comfortable to be able to raid from your couch watching telly at the same time.
