I think the Wii - Mii method is much more fun.

**sobeit** · 05-26-2008, 08:45 AM

however, it does not say she was actually cheating just because they went bowling together on the wii. Could be just a friend.

but then whats wrong with playing with the wii wii in the middle of the night :-)

Not very familiar with childrens toys such as games consoles but has this guy sacrificed his marriage for the sake of something that didn't even involve any kind of physical contact?

If so then my message to him is, get a life, you are pathetic, at the very least.

For the benefit of those who don't seem to be able to see it:

Quote:

A returned war veteran uses a Nintendo Wii to confirm the rumored funny business of an unfaithful wife.

A man by the name of Tony (last name withheld) claims to have caught his lying wife by searching the play history of his Nintendo Wii.

Tony, who served a year of active duty in Iraq, had a Wii sent to him while on tour before shipping the console back to the U.S. leading up to his discharge. He arrived home in April 2007 amid reports of his wife's indiscretions with another man. After confrontation, the wife maintained that she had only shared an innocent kiss with the man on a single occasion.

"[In Nov.] I flip through the Wii menu and visit the Mii Channel so I can peruse the many friends that I have created with the guys that I played with in Iraq," writes Tony in an email to GoNintendo. "As I go through the characters, I see there is a Mii that I have not created. It's a guy strikingly similar to my wife's [alleged lover].

"To be sure of this, I went into the Wil Message Board and click on the Calendar option. Through this menu I was able to identify the many nights my wife's Mii and this 'other' Mii Character played Wii Bowling together."

Tony has since separated and filed for divorce.

I'm with deejay100six on this; doesn't actually look like she was cheating on him - perhaps virtually, but yeah, kind of sad if that's all he's going on. PTSD, perhaps?

Sometimes my girlfriend parties up with male players on WoW. Do you see me getting all butthurt? If I party with a female player she doesn't get all bent out of shape. Online gaming is about doing something with other people! If this Tony dude is gonna get all weepy over that then he's gonna forever be single.

aww i was expecting like a recorded video ot something more sinister

It's not as if any DNA evidence was found on the Wii controller, that would have been grounds for action then

So you think think that all those times he was over they just played Wii and kissed once?

When she covered it up she disallowed him the opportunity to trust in her better nature.

deejay100six · 05-28-2008, 04:52 PM

Seems that i didn't read the article properly, she did admit to at least one physical meeting during which they kissed.

Some would say, no smoke without fire.

**sobeit** · 05-28-2008, 05:17 PM

its said they kissed, but was it on the cheek, a friendly kiss, or a full passionate one?? Its too easy take stuff out of context these days for ratings. But then...

**ashumann12** · 05-28-2008, 09:06 PM

If she was kissing some guy while her man was in Iraq, she needs a doc martin to the head!
