12.26.2006 YOU KNOW YOU'RE A GAMER WHEN:

You control your whole house with your Nintendo Wii. On any random day, a dude who plays his Wii on a theater screen the size of a house might be worth posting, but not when its competition is a guy who can control his house with his Wii. Using Smart Home hookups, this guy revamped the setup he did years ago with his PSP. Watch as he plays with his light and thermostat settings, security camera, music, cable channels and more. If you watch to the end he explains a good amount of what he hooked up and how he did it, but if you want to know more then check out the site he suggested for further reading.

Imagine bringing a gamer girl home for the night and setting the mood with one wave of the wiimote - down the lights go to a soft dim. Another snap of the wrist and the fake fireplace turns on and the thermostat goes down, leaving the rest of the work to you and your lusting lady. Women love wireless. I should try taping the sensor bar across a girl's head and telling her do the dishes and make me some dinner while waving frantically at her. Chances are good she'll get pissed and rush towards me viciously, but chances are good I'll let go of the Wiimote and kerpow her in the head anyways.
