    I don't think I'll ever be able to get used to anything else but a keyboard and mouse. It's very ingrained in me and I am only 23.

    :thumb: I love it.


    Wiimote on PC = Reason # 437 that the Wii might actually convince me to buy a console.

    It looked a bit awkward to me... I imagine that with the nunchuck it would be a lot easier.

    That actually looks really fun as a game control mechanism. So my guess is that ninty will sell way more controllers than the console can take. It would be great for a game like ut2004 on linux

    That just looks funny, however I have a feeling that it makes the game harder not easier

    I think it just shows the potential of the controller. With time and experience, the second gen of Wii games could be true classics...

    i saw on engadget today that someone has hacked the Wii mote senor bar for the PC so now the Wiimote can have more control on the PC.

    Video linkage.

    Not too responsive right now, but pretty impressive considering how long the machine has been out.

    tbh, I'm more interested in this (yay, wireless 360 pads on PC's!)
    Anyone know if/when this thing will be out in the UK?

    Very cool.

    Man, I need to get a macbook Pro. I mean, I love my powerbook and OSX, but i do miss the gaming.

    And the wiili site is down i think. Probably from bit-tech :hehe:

    And that xbox 360 dongle for wireless controllers is sweet.

    didn't look as easy as keyboard and mouse but allot better than joypad only. FPS might be fun on wii :D
