hello i am typing this on the tv screen that my wii is hooked up to and this made me wonder how many other people post from an unussual set up.

Oooh and I've done the Wii internet browsing thing. Your arm gets tired after a while...

Don't mind me asking but how do you type on the Wii?

a friend of mine....uses a large flat screen TV for his game playing...
I tried to play on it, but the first time was a little overwhelming, I kept going
oohhh look at that..

You get a keyboard on your screen and you use the Wiimote to type by aiming and pressing. Unless my memory is getting very faulty

I am somewhat kind of restarting this thread becuase I am posting this from my buddys I phone (I think it must be hacked becuase I did not know the I phone could do this it is simply amazing. And I am woundering if anyone else has tried this

Nope, Iphone has some internet capabilities so long as wireless is nearby. It's really kind of nifty actually, though still not enough of a reason for me to spend 600 bucks on.

Anyways, back on topic if there was one. As for the Wii, have they come out with an actual controller with buttons and a wire and stuff instead of that motion based one? The only reason I'll ever think of buying a wii is if they have the standard regular two hand controller (cause that little rectangular thing that you wave around is the dumbest thing I've ever seen).

Yes - it's called the Wii Classic Controller.

I've posted in another forum by using my nokia n80 and I have used the windows virtual keyboard to type when my keyboard died.

I can't remember if it looks like the NES controller or the SNES controller. Anyone mind telling me?

I'm typing from my usual cushy computer seat, using a bog standard keyboard. It ain't fancy but it's easy and it works.

One might guess that by now that keyboard is really, really, really dirty!

You should see what I'm typing with... :mischief:
