    Heh. My mum got a hand-mannequin as a small Christmas present, and it's a helluva lot of fun. The fingers are flexible, too. I use it to annoy/surprise people. It's so much to shake someone's hand with a wooden hand. "I lost it in the American-Australian war."

    This is better than the advertising for the GBA SP - you see a guy walk into a public toilet and head towards a urinal bowl, while playing on the GBA. He pees down his trouser leg into the urinal, then walks out, playing on the GBA all the while. Ugh.

    The only thing this had to do with Nintendo was the slogan...

    I think they are mad funny...
    The toliet paper one has to do with Warioware I believe... THere's one minigame where you need to unroll the whole thing as fast as you can...

    The one that really cracked me up was hte one with teh dog... and how it's head bobbled for so long.

    I entered my name and adress and stuff, so I should be getting one in the mail sometime in the future.

    I'm confused as well. Why would you lose your faith in nintendo because some other company is selling mannequin hands?
  • CabooseCaboose title = name(self, handle) Join Date: 2003-02-15 Member: 13597Members, Constellation
    Some other company that goes through the nintendo site, where you have to register? To get a hand with the DS logo on it?

    I just saw the link at the bottom, when I checked the site a second time. That <i>is</i> odd. Whatever, the worst this can do is make more people aware of how nintendo isn't what it used to be... Meh.

    I don't see what is so bad about it. I think it's kind of funny. If any of these videos do go on TV, they will just make people curious about what it's talking about, and they might check into it... It will make this advertisement stand out above others because of the wierdness factor. I don't see anything offensive or anything about these, so why would it be bad PR? They're also giving away free manequin hands so that people can take pictures and make movies to enter into a contest...

    I don't see what everyone's problem is with this. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    A free mannequin hand, you say? I like free stuff, especially free when it's off of the internet!

    On a side note, the Xbox replacement cables were to protect the house, not the Xbox. They won't prevent the Xbox from shorting, but they will still let the Xbox break (which isn't covered under warranty). To fix this, re-solder the AC-in wires on the PSU.

    I don't get it either.

    The Turntable and Dog one rule. I want a hand! Touching is definitely good.

    Agreed.
    The hands are free. I should have one coming the mail now. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Can we still get them? The contest ended three weeks ago, and when I tried to get one, it brings me to a screen that says "Attention!"
  • remiremi remedy [blu.knight] Join Date: 2003-11-18 Member: 23112Members, Super Administrators, Forum Admins, NS2 Developer, NS2 Playtester
    ... The contest ends on May. 6th... That's two months from now... in the future... I think you can.

    But yes, I did it, and it said "Attention" and then when I tried again it said that I already completed it.... So I don't know if I'll be getting one in the mail. I should probably send an e-mail to them... In fact, I think I'll do that right now.

    Let me know how that goes, because I want one too, and the same thing happened to me.
  • remiremi remedy [blu.knight] Join Date: 2003-11-18 Member: 23112Members, Super Administrators, Forum Admins, NS2 Developer, NS2 Playtester
    Yeah, I will. I just send an e-mail to them. If any of you want to send one too, that would increase our odds of getting a reply in a timely fashion. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I can't read. Thank you!

    DOOM, we all know about that... I just can't get over the fact that they have Ganon in the commercial giving away that he's in the game.

    Anyone who's getting a hand actually plan to take a picture or two?
  • DOOManiacDOOManiac Worst. Critic. Ever. Join Date: 2002-04-17 Member: 462Members, NS1 Playtester
    Of course ganon is in the game. It's a ZELDA game.

    That's like playing mario and going "OMG BOWSER!?!? WTH I did not see that coming!" :P

    Zelda II, Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask, Oracle of Seasons/Ages[Unless you linked them], Minish Cap, and Four Swords don't have Ganon...

    If I get the hand, I am definitely going to take a picture or make a movie and submit it... I mean seriously, if I do a really good job, I might get lots of $$ plus another DS with games!
