GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Monday, Jun 23, 2008

I'm sure that a few of you probably don't read the news here at Gamespot. If so, you might have missed one of the strangest news items to be featured in the SideBar news blog. Here it is in it's complete form, along with the accompanying photo...

Wii Homebrew Spawns Wiibrator

This is obviously just the kind of thing that Nintendo wanted to stamp out when it released firmware 3.3, complete with provisions intended to stop people from playing homebrew Wii games. The so-called Twilight Hack, which this firmware upgrade was reported to have disabled, involved manipulating a save game file for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to allow unauthorised code to run on the consoles.

When Harry Met Sally...

Well now its worst nightmares have come true... Nintendo's wholesome family console has become an adults-only vibrator in a unique homebrew application by Team DWiildo. Called the Wiibrator, the application runs through the Wii to make the Wii Remote, well, vibrate. Team DWiildo suggests using the Wii Remote jacket, for safety's sake, and instruct gamers to "Not try to use this with either the Wii Zapper or Wii Wheel peripherals."

There are four different "playing levels," in what is described as a "highly advanced technology demo." The team clearly have ideas for where the project is now going, possibly featuring the ability to add a "stimulating" slideshow of images, USB webcam support, and online chat functionality, as well as local multiplayer options to future versions.

Online multiplayer for up to 32 eager participants may also be coming soon. According to the info, "This would make it the first ever widely available tele-diIdonics."

For all you complaining the Nintendo Wii is too kiddie... is this hardcore enough for you?

After all the hub bub about Manhunt 2 being banned for having an Adult Only rating. I kind of have to just laugh, I could say a lot of things but I'll refrain. The pic of Meg Ryan from "Harry Met Sally" is a nice touch.

Oh...my......gosh!
Posted Jun 23, 2008 5:00 pm PT
That's actualy kind of desturbing... Yikes! For some reason it almost doesn't surprise me. Figures someone would think something like this up.
Posted Jun 23, 2008 5:59 pm PT
lol too funny
Posted Jun 23, 2008 6:04 pm PT
Funny... yet disturbing!
Posted Jun 23, 2008 7:20 pm PT
One of the prototypes for the wiimote was more tubular. My guess is this is one reason that didn't happen. bless the perverts of the world.
Posted Jun 23, 2008 8:17 pm PT
Oh my god, I had to laugh when I read this ! So funny!
Posted Jun 24, 2008 2:26 am PT
Read about this earlier, can't say I'm surprised something like this happened
Posted Jun 24, 2008 10:15 am PT
wow that's all i have to say.
Posted Jun 24, 2008 11:45 am PT
@ Raven - Odd ... yeah, that's one way to put it.

@ phoenyx - You know what would have been better than a picture of America's sweetheart, Meg Ryan, for this article? A video clip, complete with audio, from the scene in the deli. That would have been perfect .
Posted Jun 24, 2008 12:36 pm PT
@ MsCortana - Funny , that was the thought running through my head about half way through the 2ND paragraph.

@ Game-aholic - Disturbing ... but amusing none the less.
Posted Jun 24, 2008 12:43 pm PT
@ Allicrombie - That had to be the funniest thing I heard or read all day.

@ Sandpiper - Screen-shots or game-play video would have been disturbing... I guess it's only a matter of time till it shows up somewhere on the web.
Posted Jun 24, 2008 12:55 pm PT
@ porthand_jim - Is that true ... or are you just jerkin' my chain?

@ tinoshke - That's exactly why I posted it... since it was Monday, I figured everybody could use a good laugh .
Posted Jun 24, 2008 1:59 pm PT
@ PAJ - What surprised me was... that it took this long , before someone did something like this .

@ zxv - I think that pretty much says it all .
Posted Jun 24, 2008 2:09 pm PT
What will the PS3 and 360 get, I wonder ?
Posted Jun 25, 2008 8:41 am PT
Probably something with enhanced graphics... and I don't even want to think about what the achievements would look like .
Posted Jun 25, 2008 12:01 pm PT
I never jerk another mans chain. i gotta save my strength.
Posted Jun 26, 2008 1:41 am PT
Wow. Just....wow. What the hell is wrong with people? Aren't there enough vibrators in the world?
Posted Jun 26, 2008 7:50 pm PT
That question was rhetorical, by the way.
Posted Jun 26, 2008 7:50 pm PT
@ porthand_ jim - If anyone is gonna be jerking me around, it's gonna be a woman... and probably my wife, since she won't let me have a girl friend. But then again... I've never really asked her.
Posted Jun 26, 2008 9:47 pm PT
@ Jaye - Didn't you pick a good time to cum around and visit.
Posted Jun 26, 2008 9:50 pm PT
Posted Jun 26, 2008 9:51 pm PT
There is no such thing as a rhetorical question in my blogs... alll questions WILL be answered.

There probably would be more than enough vibrators to go around, if someone (not mentioning any names) would stop hording them.
Posted Jun 26, 2008 9:56 pm PT
You've succeeded in once again making me laugh out loud. "Cum" indeed.
Posted Jun 27, 2008 8:32 pm PT
I'm sorry I was away for so long. Life just sucks. I'll leave it at that.
Posted Jun 27, 2008 8:34 pm PT
I've never once in my life purchased a vibrator or used one, for that matter. So, hah! I have, however, helped my friend choose one for herself.
Posted Jun 27, 2008 8:35 pm PT
Wow, I would never have thought Nintendo would allow something like this. But hey, people do have their needs and they can come at any time... and where theres a need, theres a product to fulfill it. No matter how bizarre it may be. But if everything and everyone was normal, the world would be a much more boring place.

Now I leave you with one question: Have you seen a man eat his own head?
Posted Jul 1, 2008 7:27 am PT
Joe.....I'm about to send you a PM. Read it right away!!!
Posted Jul 2, 2008 2:51 pm PT
I sent it. I am just overwhelmed right now.
Posted Jul 2, 2008 2:57 pm PT
you must read my latest blog. i haste to hear your opinion.
Posted Jul 7, 2008 11:56 pm PT
I guess it would be see your opinion.
Posted Jul 7, 2008 11:59 pm PT
@ Skull-Fire - Actually, I don't think this was created with Nintendo's blessing. If they have prohibited AO rated games on their system, I can't imagine how they would authorise something of this nature. I have to agree... "normal" would become boring day after day, you need a little "crazy" every now and then to spice things up. In regards top your last question, yes I have... it was by accident , it wasn't pretty and we'll just leave it at that.

@ porthand_jim - Since I've been gone for several weeks (vacation), I will read all your latest blogs. The content combined with your writing style always makes for an interesting read.
Posted Aug 14, 2008 5:03 am PT
I'm glad I made you laugh Jaye, you can never have too much laughter in your life. Now if I could only make you blush with embarrassment... now that would be a true testament to my wit.
Posted Aug 14, 2008 5:08 am PT
That must have been a very close friend to ask you to be part of something so personal. Out of curiosity, how did the subject cum up? By that I mean... where you say, just sitting around the house and she said, "I'm bored, let's go to the mall and buy a vibrator".
Posted Aug 14, 2008 5:13 am PT
I've read all my PMs, and there were none dated July 2... are you sure you sent it to me?
Posted Aug 14, 2008 5:16 am PT
I sent a PM on July 2. It's still in my outbox. I would resend it but...it's just awkward now that so much time has passed. A glitch probably kept the PM from getting to you. The only guaranteed on CNET are the glitches.
Posted Aug 23, 2008 3:00 pm PT
Your my friend ... how could it be awkward?
Posted Aug 27, 2008 8:42 am PT
I think the glitches on GS are to keep us alert and on our toes, they don't want us to become lazy and complacent... either that, or their just F'n with us .
Posted Aug 27, 2008 8:44 am PT
Okay....so I will resend you the PM from more than a month ago.
Posted Aug 27, 2008 5:57 pm PT
And they are definitely fu(king with us!! The jerks!!
