Looking for the perfect gift for the man who has everything, but still wants the world to know that he's a clumsy bastard? Allow us to introduce the Wii shield, a big, dumb piece of plastic that protects LCDs from 30" to 46" from flying Wiimotes. We assume it would protect from other things too (God knows we're totally throwing a TiVo remote if Blake loses tonight) but we're a gaming site, so let's just roll with it.
Ready to buy one? Well, you can't, and not just because we'll punch you in the face if you try. Taiwanese manufacturer LCDArm isn't selling them yet, thought they promise Gearlog that they're on the way, much to the delight of sweaty-palmed gamers with cash (and dignity) to burn.
[Thanks, Brigham]

I never watched A.I. until Sanjaya was on it. When he was "voted off", I stopped watching.
I hope there's no glare on the plastic sheild.

Now all they need to make is a toilet guard that keeps you from flushing your cash down the toilet when you buy Nintendo products.

@Shag I was beginning to think we were going to make it a whole day w/out someone making some jackass-troll comment.
Looks like you prevented that.

I've got a better idea: stop developing games that make you to throw the controller.
