    We've been telling you non-stop about those errant Wiimotes that seem to be taking out everything from people to windows ever since they first hit the streets. And yes, to its credit, Nintendo appears to be including better straps and is advising people to just chill out when they get their Wii on. However, if you want to be absolutely, 100 percent certain that your Wiimote isn't going to go anywhere, you may want to handcuff it to your wrist as this fellow Karunga did.

    Sure, Nintendo has introduced thicker, reinforced wrist straps to prevent accidental Wii remote slippage, but even that isn't enough for some people. For those who demand the utmost in Wii remote security, may we suggest the wrought-iron construction that only handcuffs can provide.The idea for this odd mod came from an Austrian forum while the cuffs themselves reportedly came from a sex shop complete with a safety switch in case the keys are misplaced. We can't make any guarantees to the actual strength of such a setup, but we've got to say it looks a lot more secure than that thin piece of fabric holding our remotes in place. Plus the handcuffs have the added bonus of introducing a dash of S&M kinkiness into every Wii play session. Hot![Via LooneyGamers]

    var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gaming_news/THIS_Wiimote_is_goin_nowhere'; We knew the straps were a little weak. This user decided to protect his loved ones and shiny TV set in the most authoritative way he knew how: chaining that wand to his wrist, nuclear-bomb-code-briefcase style. We ourselves have used thick shoelaces at parties to ensure ... ah ... inebriated members of the populace wouldn't deface and destroy; how about you guys? Come up with any creative solutions in the realm of protective measures?[via VG Cats]
