Hey there ^^
This is Lee Brady from the article. Just to comment on a few things:
1) Yeah the WiiMote is filthy. We have since cleaned it, so rest assured that the germs will not contaminate anyone else!
2) I am naturally good at literature. I am 15, and I am not being proof read or anything, I just... like typing properly. The other two though... I'm not so sure XD
I do however like to use emoticons every now and again, thus ruining myself.
3) The Wheel is NOT made of poo. It's masking tape and cardboard!
4) I'm not British, nor are the other two. We're Irish.
5) Thanks for all the fun and great comments! Kept me laughing for ages X3

@alexr: I've been thrown off of educational assistance forums and the like because the admins think I'm a paedophile. I'm 17 now so it doesn't happen any more, but it happened so often when I was about 13 or 14.

Penalised for having good literacy... You wonder how the admins get their jobs.

I'm 80 comments late for this but I'm still going to say it:

It's called the "Wii" not the "Poo."

Of course, the design is still appropriate if it handles like shit.

@stennex:

You can get a spare wheel for £6.99 at H.M.V. and Game.
They may only hold the remote but the consensus of the 7 people who have played my version is that it does make it easier. I've got large hands and the extra bit to grab hold of, the extra weight and the easy to hit B button extension make it worthwhile.

If you buy a wii wheel your are a wiitard. The thing just houses the remote. Common people this is like buying network show episodes for download from xboxlive or itunes when it is free on sites like Hulu.com, Veoh, the networks own site, etc. How long are we going to be suckered into things like this.

It's actually £8 for an extra official wheel, and totally worth it. Don't know what all the people who slate it are thinking! Good effort from those guys though - I kind of wish I was still in a position where I'd go to the effort of making something like that. But then again I kind of don't as if I work for the same amount of time it would take to make that I would be able to buy an official one and still have change. Looking at that though if feels like I'm missing out on a fun aspect of it all!
