By now, I'm sure you've probably seen Ross Howard's video answer to all the Wii remote injury stories last month entitled 'Wii Fatality." It was a pretty timely video and quickly made the rounds on the interwebs. As is often the case with these things, ended up being credited to someone else due to some misinformation from certain websites.

So, to set the record straight, Ross has sent us an exclusive email detailing exactly how the now infamous "Wii in the head" effect was done.

So I made a couple of papercraft wiimotes based on examples and photos, stuffed them full of tissue paper, and weighted them down with coins stuck on the back with tape (giving mass for throwing). I cut one in half and stuck it to the victim's head with double-sided tape. We had had a few beers (this was taking place during Friday night drinks) so I thought I'd pour some tomato sauce around the wound. You can see the tomato sauce bottle on the table in the video clip.

Ross has uploaded some video outtake clips on Revver so you can see for yourself how it was all put together. Who knew that a simple paper Wii remote and some tomato sauce would cause such an internet stir. Flynn De Marco

After guzzling a copious amount of 'wife beater' (Stella Artois) - I returned home to find the girlie in mid battle with a Zelda 'Boss'. In my inebriated state, it was instinctual to become her knight in shining armour. I proceeded to take the controllers off her and fight the beast myself.

Unfortunately, my courage was far greater then my skill. Having taken a good kicking, Liz then tried to intervene with disastrous results. She approached me from the side, appearing from my blind spot, whilst I was performing a slashing movement. I hit her with full force right in her eye!

God, that's brutal. Let's hope that Jim seeks anger management therapy before Wario Ware Smooth Moves ships. Michael McWhertor

Attack on Girlfriend Proves Fatal to Boyfriend's Wii Privileges

The man claims that as he and other line-waiters ran for a chance at the PS3, at the bequest of Wal-Mart, someone deliberately pushed him into the pole, face first.

Watching the video, it sort of looks like he just got accidentally bumped into the pole. The bumper/pusher ended up making the list for a console and then lawyered up.

Way to go Wal-Mart, maybe with the Wii launch you could just hand out bats and give out consoles to whoever is left standing. Brian Crecente

Man Inured in Playstation 3 Promotion Melee [The Milwaukee Channel]

Guitar Hero addict Jimmy Winter was rocking out against a friend recently when he managed to snap his knee during a particularly exuberant rock-out.

We were neck in neck in points... I had to do something special. I needed STYLE points. I breathed deep, my rock meter was maxed out and I was going to make this audience feel it. I twisted to the right and threw my guitar in the air! Instead of a roaring audience I heard a loud snap! My knee slid to the outside of my leg and my leg bent sideways as I fell to the ground.

After a couple of misread MRIs (gotta love our crap health system), a doctor told Winters that he had managed to knock an inch and a half piece of bone off of his femur and that he needed knee surgery.

Ouch!

Hit the jump for Winter's heartfelt letter to Red Octane Games. Brian Crecente

Dear Red Octane Games,

I have terrible news. While I am in love with your game, it has caused me great harm. Guitar Hero broke my knee. Its true, while playing your game on July 3rd and shredding a massive lick I pivoted into a great thrashing stance and my knee gave way. After several doctor visits and x-rays it later turned out my rocking had knocked an inch and a half piece of bone off of my knee and it was now floating about the inside of my leg.

I ended up going under the knife to reattach the smaller piece of bone back to my leg and now, more than a month later, I am still unable to walk. I am however gearing up from a triumphant comeback in early September to show others on my block I can still rock twice as hard as them.

This is a story that must be told. Imagine being able to tell your customers that a young man in Omaha, NE rocked Guitar Hero so hard his own bones crumbled. Boys would cheer and mothers would cringe.

Maybe an endorsement deal? I would be like Subway's Jared. Maybe we could do something as simple as Red Octane supporting the local Guitar Hero championship my friends and I are setting up. You could send some banners and an advanced copy of Guitar Hero 2 our finalists could play.... kind of like in the Wizard when they played Mario Brothers 3.

Well I've attached 2 photos of me suffering after my surgery to really tug your heartstrings. I think we should talk about this. You can reach me at jimmy@guitarherobrokemyknee.com or by phone at 402-XXX-XXXX.

Yours in Rock,

Jimmy Winter
