14 DAY TRIAL // Let's enjoy a quite evening at home, tells Jim to his girlfriend Liz. Ok!, she replies. But do you have the new Nintendo Wii?, asks Liz. Yes, I stood in line for 2 whole days to get it. On top of this, I also have the new Zelda game, continues Jim. Greeeeat! The only thing we need now is some beer, says Liz.
So they go to the local supermarket to get a six-pack and then head to their house, smiling and giggling with Zelda on their minds. They go inside, turn on the Wii and start guzzling down beer after beer. Nobody knows what happens there because they blur certain things, but as the plot unravels we see poor Liz with a black eye, lying on the floor.
This could be an explanation for this picture, even a good Wii commercial (for those who are sick), but is not the truth. This picture was sent to Kotaku by a reader, Jim (as I already mentioned), who - apparently - is very proud of his girlfriend's Wii-related black eye.
The original and true story goes like this: "After guzzling a copious amount of 'wife beater' (Stella Artois) - I returned home to find the girlie in mid battle with a Zelda 'Boss'. In my inebriated state, it was instinctual to become her knight in shining armour. I proceeded to take the controllers off her and fight the beast myself.
Unfortunately, my courage was far greater then my skill. Having taken a good kicking, Liz then tried to intervene with disastrous results. She approached me from the side, appearing from my blind spot, whilst I was performing a slashing movement. I hit her with full force right in her eye!"
And he is proud of it. Judge for yourselves if this kind of people should own a Wii.
