Loads of Wii owners seem to have something in common: the desire to
make something for their
console. Often, it's a
zapper, but the DIY obsession certainly isn't limited to gun-type projects. We've seen a lot of variety and creativity when it comes to fiddling with the Wii. What is it about the system that has inspired so much creativity in its short lifespan? Is it the inherent fun and whimsicality of the idea of motion-based controls? Is it the expanded audience? The mere presence of a wrist strap and the fun of pointing and shooting? Weigh in -- and let us know if you've made a few things for
your Wii.

My friend used his Wii as a mouse pad for a little while around Christmas time.
He said it was to show the multi-functionality of the Wii. He was being ironic. I know this because he had that ironic smile of his. He then said the Wii was a "true gaming machine". He likes to use air inverted commas. He was being ironic.
I said his irony was not funny, rather tedious, and definitely not creative. He agreed with me. Later, he asked whether I was being serious. I said, "probably, yeah".

I believe you mean sarcastic, not ironic.

I think you're right.
Those feet in the picture just brought up that story for me. I should ask him whether he was being ironic or sarcastic.
He probably won't remember though. I hate it when I remember the smallest things/stories and the friend/person can't recall a single thing about it, and vice-versa.
