Zelda almost finished!

Yes it was half finished last month, dont forget all they had left to do was activate the random dungeon generator and they were good to go.

Last Months interview with Miyamoto was actually from before E3 because if you payed attention the person in the interview was surprised when Miyamoto mentioned games that was announced at E3 so if it was after E3 why would the interviewer be surprised if it took place last month.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

Yeah I saw your Ico news article dvader so it did go through. It must have deleted as a duplicate.

I don't know why but I was thinking Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was a March release but it's hitting Feb. 15th. Awesome! Unfortunately that means I won't be participating in the Darksiders gameathon. I need to get Mvs.C3 plus I need more MS points for Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 plus I also have to renew my XBL Gold. Sad

No, no-one gets that, it's a concept (fake).

=-=-

I know I bitch about this about once a year, but it's been a year.

PSP downloading. = fail.

4 hours ago I started the process, it's got another 9 hours to go.  How?

  1. Turn on PSP, battery flat.  charge.
  2. Connect to PSN.
  3. Told I need an update to continue.
  4. download update.
  5. told I don't have enough space for the download.
  6. delete almost everything off the 2 GB memory stick
  7. download.
  8. Apply update.
  9. told I don't have enough battery to apply update.
  10. Plug in adapter to use wall power.
  11. told I don't have enough battery to apply update.
  12. charge battery fully (3 hours).
  13. apply update
  14. login to PSN
  15. told I have the wrong password, that I need to go to a computer to rest password.
  16. login to PSN
  17. Enter the redemption code for Yggdra Union.
  18. check-out the purchase.
  19. Told I don't have enough space on the memory stick.
  20. Log out, clear out all my MP3's and comics.
  21. log back in, enter code for Yggdra Union, check out.
  22. Download of 530 MB (Over 5% of my monthly internet allowance) begins.  I am told download will be complete in 582 minutes (9.7 hours)

Ah, digital downloads, way of the future.

I had a friend who dug a giant hole for themselves with a store credit card from an electronic retailer.  He was still paying for it almost ten years later.

The following story -- I don't understand what is wrong (legally or morally) with Gold Miners in WoW.  What's wrong with someone making money by doing tedious things in a game?

"Blizzard recently took action to hit World of Warcraft gold sellers right where it hurts: Their wallets. Well, the online services they use to transfer intangible funds from other people's wallets to their wallets, but you know what we mean. The developer has successfully petitioned Paypal to issue notices to the major names in gold selling, warning them that if they didn't stop selling WoW's virtual currency for non-virtual currency, their accounts would be irreversibly suspended.



Paypal appears to accept Blizzard's argument that these sales represent an intellectual property violation -- though this area has proven nebulous in the past, as suggested by the WoW Glider lawsuit from last year. Regardless, we hope they find some success with this venture. We don't understand why people can't earn gold the honest way: By buying everything off of the auction house and selling it back for three times its original price."
