Shia LeBeouf Bites The Hand That Feeds, Makes His Hate For The Wii Known

Normally you'd think this was the type of article for my celebrity snark site, WUD, but luckily, celebrities are stupid enough that occasionally I get to post about their fuckery here, instead of there.

In an interview with Big Download, when asked how much he's played of the new Wii Transformer title, he said:

"I haven't been able to play the Wii game because my hand is broken. I've just been playing Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. I would imagine that the Wii experience will be like...I don't mess with the Wii, to be honest with you. It's kind of an amateur console. I'm not into the Wii thing. This is how in a simple way you can find out if it's a gamer you want to play with. Ask them if they have a Wii. If they say yes, get the f*** out of there." via IGN

Really, that's all you can say, dude? You can't mention the specs, the lack of "hardcore" games in the library? I mean, if you're gonna go tired and cliche, you may as well go all the way. And let's not forget that the Wii is carrying the piece of crap Transformer title that will be padding his bank account. You'd think he could be a bit more diplomatic than slandering a console that indirectly contributes to his growing career.

(And is it just me, or is the "I broke my hand" stuff a little hokey? You can pound away at a controller that tests the limit of your palm's surface area, yet can't slip a super slim Wii remote into your hand? O-kay.)

Nevermind that I love my Wii but my FPS-hardened hands could beat Shia down to a bloody pulp. Every tendon has been stretched and toned from the repeated use of my gaming mouse, XBOX 360 controller, PS3 controller, PS2 controller, Wavebird controller, and XBOX controller. I'll play Mario Kart til my hand cramps but then move right onto Diablo II LOD or GTAIV without a second thought.

A person's enjoyment of Nintendo consoles does not make them inferior. There are plenty of gamers who enjoy their Wii as well as other console titles. These are people who aren't concerned with making their gaming experience a pissing contest.

And as far as multiplayer games go, Nintendo has some of the best out there, so indicating a Wii fan isn't fun to play with is just uninformed and closeminded. I suspect many that criticize the Wii are merely repeating what they've heard elsewhere, knowing little to nothing of what can be enjoyed on the console in spite of their preconceived notions of what will or won't make them "cool" amongst their gaming peers. The Wii has its merits, and its downfalls. The ability to enjoy their games regardless is not a weakness as a gamer.

"OOoh me big man, me get big console with big specs. Now my penis bigger. Maybe no one notice that me clueless."
