  • What is the title of this famous drawing?

    I've been trying to figure this out for a while. I can't even find a picture of it, but I think it is famous enough to recognize it by a description. I'll try to describe it:

    It appears to be drawn with charcoal, or perhaps pencil. The subject is of a woman (maybe a man) being terrorized by a ghoulish figure. The ghoul (or maybe demon) is almost mounted up on the back of the person; she's/he's nearly bent over. The demon is bald and bony, so much that some of its shoulder bones can be seen. Its face cannot be seen because it is touching the left side of the person's face. It looks as if it is whispering into the person's ear. The woman/man looks shocked. Her/His mouth is wide open, eyes are wide open, and eyebrows are arched up. It looks like the person is clutching an object, maybe a skull, between his/her right hand and chest.

    It might be better if I try to draw it out. Take a look at this:

    I think it captures the essence of the drawing pretty well.

  • What is wrong with my Wii Remote, what is causing this odd behavior?

    I noticed this problem when I was playing "House of the Dead: Overkill." I was playing with two Wii remotes. For some reason the second Wii Remote kept reloading after every shot. In this game, you have to shake the Wii Remote to reload. I thought that, perhaps, the Wii remote was too sensitive. I changed the sensitivity option and tried playing on every sensitivity setting, but the problem still continued.

    I then tested the Wii remote on "Bleach: Shattered Blade." In this game, you have to shake the Wii remote to attack. I tried attacking, but my character wouldn't respond.

    I started playing around with the remote, testing it, and noticed that the cursor would disappear after rotating the remote more than 90 degrees to the left or the right. Oddly enough, this wouldn't happen on the Wii System Menu (the cursor would remain on the screen, even after rotating the Wii remote 360 degrees). But, as soon as I would open up the home menu or start up a game, and try rotating the remote, it would start acting up again.

    I went to the troubleshooting section of the Wii remote on Nintendo's website and tried everything there:

    Unplugging the Wii,

    Resetting the Wii,

    Resyncing the remote,

    Rotating the remote and tapping it,

    Changing the batteries (AA, Rechargeable, and Charge pack)

    Recharging the batteries,

    Changing the sensitivity settings,

    etc...

    Unfortunately, the Wii Remote still continued to behave oddly. Everything else seems to work perfectly. The Wii remote is in great condition. The rumble function works, the buttons respond properly. I am able to aim the remote without any interference. But, when it comes to rotating the remote, outside of the Wii System Menu, the cursor disappears.

    I think I may have to end up sending it out for repairs or buying another one. But, I want to make sure there isn't something else I can do.
