Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I am thinking about trying to make a pvc pipe stock, so you can use It like a rifle. After six years in the ARMY I'm used to swinging an M-16 around.

Simple....Yet effctive. Nice job

[Brother_D]

Uhh... its impossible to make redsteel seem fun.

lol, wii 'moats'.. is that like a big round pool surrounding your wii to keep people from using it?

[Metal4God]

you know what would be funny if you bought the remotes but but he didn't buy the wii XD XD XD

[imonsei]

actually one of my friends bought a wiimote without the console. it plugs into a pc over bluetooth fine. he bought it so he could play with it over glovePIE

[Metal4God]

thats right you think not LOL

[knex hater hater]

kick ass dude. but looks a tad too big. if i had a wii and a bottle of axe shower gel. id do this.

[AdeptNoob]

I have a Wii (Which I'm proud to say I stayed at wal*mart for 15 hours to get one at midnight on the first day it came out) Red steel is awesome. I suggest it to anyone. Being a nintendo fan, I think it rivals Halo2

[arevolutionist]

I do not own a Wii (though desire one greatly), but it seems like a gnarly hack. :)

[hide98]

nistco92 Just a question, I'm assuming you have red steel, how is it? Some people say it sucks and some say it's awesome, and I was wondering If I should get it.

[nistco92]

I like it a lot - I haven't had too much time to play so far because of finals, but I like what I've played. It definitely takes some getting used to in terms of controls, but the grip really makes it so much more fun. The way the game's designed, the remote aims right where you point the end, so it's kind of awkward at first (think shooting with just a normal remote). It's more natural with the grip because your hand is perpendicular to where you're aiming, as opposed to twisting your wrist and shooting in the direction of your thumb. (again, think shooting with a remote control vs. a lightgun) Also, I bet multiplayer is awesome and crazy, but I haven't tried it yet (still only have 1 controller) Other stuff about the game: story is extremely contrived/typical dialogue is often laughable gameplay can get a little repetitive, but the novelty of the controller makes up for it overall, it's a blast to play, and I can't wait to try multiplayer

[firemanfu]

I get ma wii after x mas will definatly do dis

[PetervG]

If I had a Wii, I wouldn't trust the controller on sharp plastic, mod it by putting fabric on the gun part or something? Looks like so much fun!

[trebuchet03]

Yeah, apparently those wiimotes can break TV's, put holes in drywall and dent PC cases (all from people flinging them around) and still function perfectly. That's pretty amazing considering how sensitive accelerometers tend to be.

[Kronaxi]

the accelerometers are built into a small chip which, when attached to the board inside, makes it very stable and hard to break. leevonk, the IR detector is used for tracking the cursor on the screen. But everything else is done by the accelerometers.

[leevonk]

there are no accelerometers, all the wii remote has is an IR detector, the wii console has an IR transmitter:

[Fenwick]

You're wrong, kinda. I code scripts and stuff for using the wiimote on PC, there is more than an IR sensor. Kronaxi is right.

[Ian01]

Yes there are, see the video here:

[nistco92]

the plastic actually isnt all that sharp - its pretty thick, so its blunt along the edges. Also, the controller is standard Nintendo quality, so there's no real risk of it getting damaged.
