I Ordered Pizza From the Nintendo Wii (and you can too)

This actually isn't the strangest way to order a pizza. There's a mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion that lets you order a real-life pizza through an NPC.

[@nightmarerex2035]

from what restraunt? was the mod made by them?

@@nightmarerex2035 I think it was Domino's like this Wii channel but it's been a while, and certainly wasn't by them. It should be on Nexus Mods somewhere.

@@MasterGoku21 I mean, I just said it was a mod lol, though I believe it did have some dependencies on some other plug-ins if that's what you meant. No idea if it still works, I've never tried it.

Sad. Have fun filling a landfill with it and buying the next new shiny thing that does the exact same thing. I think the real culprit is offsite service as a software substitute APIs.

Honestly, this sounds like an amazing idea for building good habits. I'm imagining if I owned a house with an arcade room, I'd put the wii there, and it'd be the dedicated pizza delivery box. If you want pizza, you have to go to the pizza spot in the arcade room and use the wii to order it. It's fun and stops you from ordering pizza when you don't actually want it or need it
