I used to but it is kind of pointless. The tiny piece of string connecting it to the wiimote snapped when i was playing tennis and smashed into the christmas tree. lol

Sometimes, not when I'm using the Everybody votes or Internet, but when I play games.

I don't usually wear it but that's either because I can't be bothered or well, I just can't be bothered ;)

I always wear my wrist strap tightly, unless I'm just checking the news.

I have a plastic cover slip for my Wiimotes which keeps any sweat from creating slippage. Even so, I wear the strap all the time unless I'm playing Super Paper Mario. That doesn't use the motion too much.

All those pizza, "two for one" deals are really from the government to fatten you up, then when you're too obese to do anything they ship you off to the Red Cross where they rip out your liver and turn it into pepperoni to start the process all over again.

I don't have much games for the wii and most of them don't require large fast movements so I don't wear the straps often. At first I did but discover I was hardcore by not wearing it~

Although, I wear it, it won't ever fly out of my hand. I never swing it that enthusiastically. Instead, it's just small swings that you need. It's probably because I'm too lazy. Still, it's better safe than sorry, so I wear it.

I usually do, it depends on the game and the level of my caring that day. If im playing a game like RE, I wont even bother to put the strap on.

I got two tvs one small one about 19-21 inch for playing games and right next to it a 42 inch plasma screen for watching TV, if I don't where it I could have to pay £1000 to pay for it and to be sad for the rest of my live. Lucky we got a new house and i'm about to move into it soon!hehe

If your Wiimote goes so fast it goes through your TV, there's something wrong with you, not the controller.

Sometimes. It's really boring when you're switching with a friend and you have to put it on every second. Also, what if you were panicing in a game and you want to hand it off to a friend but the wrist band won't come off! That would be total caose! Hope that elps.Is it good or bad!?
