Wii noisier than Xbox 360 and PS3, says sound meter test

Jan 15th 2007 3:46PM (Joystiq)
Fun with statistics:
Since there is no HDD in the Wii, and the consoles baseline noiselevel is the same as the HDD score, we can infer that Wii is completely noiseless except when loading a game. Since that's not true there's gotta be a flaw in here somewhere.

Protecting adults from children online

Dec 23rd 2006 11:44PM (Joystiq)
I really wish there was a "notify parents thier kid is being a total shit" button. I generally do avoid ASAP, but having a kid insult me because the game type I setup isn't what he wants is rather annoying, even more so when he's perfectly capable of setting up a game with whatever settings he wants. What really gets my goat as when I have to leave the game I created, and go start another to get away from that kind of abuse, and the pricks follow and continue to be verbally abusive.

I don't think the solution is 18+ areas or anything, because there are plenty of kids who can act mature, and don't appreciate that kind of crap anymore then we do. Maybe "zones" or whatever you wanna call it, where you're restricted to civil conversation only. Or a "light cursing zone". Honestly the occasional blue utterence isn't that big a deal. I can even deal w/ an occasional F-bomb. I don't want to hear racial slurs or a constant stream of derogetory remarks. If I want the F-bomb dropped every five minutes I'll watch The Big Lebowski.
