Title: Nintendo has finally done it!
Post by: HylianHero92 on August 11, 2009, 07:53:23 AM
Nintendo has finally manufactured a way to look even more idiotic then flailing your arms around hoping you hit a tennis ball.

It is my honor to present....

THE


WII CHAIR

The above is only one of many pictures the NOE filed in a patent yesterday.

Can't wait....  ::)

I hope they go back to investing their time in video game ideas.
You know, like they used to?

Also... Why does this "kid" have a receding hair line?

At this rate, there will be a Wii control for every single type of movement you can think of. Just imagine it: a Wii bed to play sleeping.  ;D

I thought I told you guys the  phrase has been replaced. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuking_the_fridge)

To me, it would seem that "nuking the fridge" is more of a superlative (for lack of a better word, I guess) form of "jumping the shark," much like "high-octane nightmare fuel" is more superlative than plain, ol' "nightmare fuel."

Here's something to consider.  Indiana Jones is and always has been about the extremes.  Myths from back in that era, when introduced into the movie, always turn out to be true, right?  So it makes sense that he would survive being nuked in a lead-lined fridge... after all, they were big on the concept of lead protecting them from fallout and explosions, and they believed that they could survive an atomic blast by hiding under a desk.  Another thing to consider is the fact that the atomic bombs of the 40's and the 50's are not very powerful to today's standards.  Nuclear weapons nowadays have a yield in excess of 50-100 times the power of the ones dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and in fact that weapons that we use in the middle-east on a fairly common basis (e.g. the MOAB, also known as the mother of all bombs or Massive Ordinance Air Blast) have similar destructive ability as the atomic bombs of the past.

Also, Indy drank from the holy grail in the third movie, so it's highly unlikely that something as tame as an atomic bomb could kill him.

Did Indy's father drank from the grail?  Gah, it's been a while, and I didn't see the whole movie.  Going to have to check with my brother if he has the movies in the Netflix queue.

Indy poured water on his father's wound to heal it, but I can't remember if he actually drank or not.
