    Following a recent post of a television becoming collateral damage in the console wars, we have received similar reports. Now is a good time to go over some basic Wii-mote concepts: Please make sure to always use the provided strap and adjust it to the size of your wrist. If your hands get profusely sweaty so to potentially cause slippage, there are non-surgical options available -- such as powder -- to keep your hands dry. The Wii-mote only requires semi-subtle movements to operate properly. Full-motion movement can only increase the probability of an incident. Don't Wii angry and don't Wii drunk! Every snapping incident we've heard of so far has been caused by loss of grip and unnecessary force. We hope these tips help save just one television or prevent a grandma's ashes from being knocked off the mantle place. Please Wii responsibly.
