do you?

First you must ask the question, "Do you have a Wii?"

Vidgmchtr · « **Reply #2 on:** January 10, 2008, 05:26:57 PM »

When I first turn my Wii on, yes. If I need to take it off for some reason, I usually don't put it back on when I resume playing.

How much time did you spend thinking about this topic? And yes.

I asked him this same question, on a different topic that he put up an hour after he said sorry for making random topics. I think it was the akward topic

What's a "Wiimote?" It sounds kinda like "Wii Remote" but...

You know what he means, CHUP.

He said Wiimote. Just because it's not the official name for it doesn't mean he's not talking about something different, as it's a common name for it.

I use that word more than "Wii Remote". I already said why.

I don't need them, not to mention everyone younger then me practically chewed on them or ripped them off of the remotes. Only the newest Wiimote still has it and even then I don't use it.

I always use the strap on my Wii Remote, more to get it out of the way than to keep the Wii Remote from hurtling through my screen.

I'm glad that you wear your Wiimote strap.

I don't if I don't feel like it's necessary (Super Mario Galaxy=No, WarioWare:Smooth Moves=Probably yes)

Robert · « **Reply #14 on:** January 11, 2008, 10:52:27 PM »

I actually feel a lot more comfortable with the wrist strap on, regardless of whether or not the game I'm playing requires heavy or light use of the Wiim- er, Wii Remote. Seriously, if that wrist strap isn't snuggly around my wrist, I'm not playing.

Jman · « **Reply #15 on:** January 11, 2008, 11:11:32 PM »

Only when playing games where the controller could easily leave my hand. (Mario and Sonic, Wii Sports, WiiPlay)

dc804 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 11, 2008, 11:19:46 PM »

I made it into a habit to connect the wiimote wrist band to me.

AbercrombieBaseball · « **Reply #17 on:** January 13, 2008, 02:24:27 PM »

I always put mine on. I heard of guys throwing them through their TV sets so I don't want to risk it even if my TV is a big old fat Sony (not one of those new flat screens).

Sqrt2 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 14, 2008, 05:47:47 AM »

I use it most of the time, but occasionally I don't bother, especially if I'm playing something that doesn't require any sudden movements (SMG for example).

silverstarman · « **Reply #19 on:** January 14, 2008, 02:20:53 PM »

No. Never. I took mine off, actually. My hands don't sweat when I play, so I'm safe without it.

Linkin800 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 14, 2008, 07:04:51 PM »

Shouldent this be a poll? Well anyways... Yes I do use the strap. Makes it so I don't kill anyone or anything around me.

He's back from the dead!
I usually wear it

I didn't wear it at first, but I started using it while playing Sonic and the Secret Rings so it wouldn't fly up and hit my hand when I used the Homing Attack. I got into a habit of wearing it, and now I pretty much always use it, even for games that require little to no Wii Remote motion (Super Paper Mario for example).

megamush · « **Reply #24 on:** January 18, 2008, 04:41:21 PM »

Wiimote from hurtling through my screen.

Ha-HA!
BTW, I thought hurtling through screen was a myth?
