The moment Nintendo Wii's motion-sensing controller became widely available, gamers across all platforms were like, "Let's see what other things this white stick can control." And as very well documented, we've seen that the Wiimote can actually control a lot: from guitars, cars, EverQuest II, and even rival console PlayStation 3 (PS3).

Among the many uses of the Wiimote was for playing in World of Warcraft (WoW). The coder displayed through a video tutorial how one can actually explore Azeroth using the Wiimote and it was rather amusing. This next one goes along that line as well. Chris Heald from online blog Anti Arc was able to modify the said controller and made it compatible with WoW's fishing activity.

Before this works, Heald reminds that you should bound first "Shift+F" to the fishing skill and turn off the AutoLoot function. Once that is done, the controls become relatively easy: Hold button "A" and do a casting motion to make your WoW character cast. Moving the Wiimote up without pressing the "A" button will reel your fish in and autoloot the content.

Likewise, the Nunchuk serves as the mouse. Pressing the "B" button plus moving the Nunchuk will move your camera. It's actually pretty nifty and Heald has a proof-of-concept video for all of you. In case you want to know more about the GlovePIE script, the Read link will take you to Chris Heald's blog.
