WiiHelms Go on Sale

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the so-very-advanced dept.

SlashRating© $slashrating slashdottit! tm eldavojohn writes "ThinkGeek (Owned by same parent corporation as Slashdot) has recently started selling WiiHelms which allows the user to effortlessly play the Wii without tirelessly moving their arms around. An added foot pedal controls the A, B button pushing to minimize activity. According to the article, "After extensive scientific study it was found that manipulating muscles in your neck for 10 minutes uses 64% less energy than waving your arms about like a lunatic." Indeed, after watching the demonstration video, I myself will order four or five — I'm sick of flailing my arms around like a chump. Don't forget to check out ThinkGeek's other offerings today including inhalable caffeine sticks, the 8-bit tie and the most amazing T-shirt ever."

    I was about to ask if my roommate and I were the only ones. Guess not. It would go well with a "know your roots" shirt or something.

    I've got a brilliant idea! Why not just use a mouse and a keyboard! That way you could move even less...oh wait...
