Jess from IGN Smashes Wii-mote, Hurts Hand

And the Wii-njuries (like it? cute, huh?). Just. Keep. Coming. IGN's Jess Chobot is the latest casualty to get the blunt end of the Wii-mote. She blogs:

This past Thurs I was playing Wii baseball with a friend of mine. I was losing badly and getting VERY angry. Even though I know that I don't actually need to literally pitch in order to get the ball across the plate, I was so frustrated I did just that. With all my might. And promptly slammed my hand (and Wii controller) into my oak coffee table.

It was. Although the swelling had gone down, it still hurt pretty bad. I could kind of bend it and knew it wasn't broken, but I figured I might as well use up those IGN bennies before the year was out and toted myself off for a few x-rays.

Turns out it wasn't broken, just a little sprained and badly bruised.

You know, if Chobot had licked her Wii-mote, it wouldn't have hurt her.
