on [wiihaveaproblem.com](http://wiihaveaproblem.com) some guy hung a shitload of books and a jumbo bottle of laundry detergent from a door knob and it didn’t break. Some people are doing some wacky shit to their controllers. ---

> [@JCuz](#): > > people who cannot keep the controller in their hands right should buy one of those controller gloves for $10, it should help a lot My brother-in-law works for a glove manufacturer and someone ordered 5000 of these, so he brought me a pair home…they don’t do shit. They are just gloves with the little dots on them that say Wii. If you’re swinging hard enough to break straps, you’ll still lose it with the glove. ---
