NWR Forums Discord / Hula Hoop Contest! SIGN-UPS END WEDNESDAY! Contest begins FRIDAY!

« on: April 03, 2008, 10:22:48 PM »

Yes, that's right, we need a make-shift tournament until NWR starts theirs up.  Sign up now, it'll be a double elimination, best-of-three, four stock, item-full, stage-full type of contest, and just for the bragging rights.

I'll post the rules, but sign-up, and on Saturday, I'll organize a bracket however Double Elimination brackets are made.

You'll have 2-3 days for each round, so it'll take some time, obviously, but you'll have to get with your opponent to schedule a time.  If only a few people sign-up, we'll try to make a round-robin style tournament instead.

Edit: Extended the deadline a little bit.

Sign-up list:
thatguy
Caliban
Vudu
EasyCure
Pale
Dasmos
PartyBear
DAamAn
Decoyman
Armak
Ceric

I think that concludes the list for now, let me know if I missed you.

General Chat / Anyone know anything about Norton/Symantec Ghost? -- NVM

« on: March 24, 2008, 10:50:14 PM »

Update!  Read the third post for my new question!

I know that some of you a little more knowledgeable of computers than I am, so I thought I'd ask:

I need to dump the data off of two laptop hard-drives, but the computer they're in is currently fried and will soon have a new mother-board.  Is there a device I can use to clone the drives without installing them first?  Should I just find a local computer-repair shop?  Should I just google for more info?  I was going to start calling stores tomorrow, but I've always heard bad stories about giving some shops a computer to fix.

This is the real thread for SSBB friend codes.  Mine is 4941-2881-8199. The name's Jason

My roommate's is 0817-3403-5603, I'll be playing on it some of the time, so if you have extra space, add it, too.  His is Chris.

I should go by JER, JERK, or Jason online.

This is an application Mr. Jack worked up.  It's got just about everything on there.  Feel free to post and add your info to the thread.  Try to tell us your online name, so we won't be confused once you've logged on.

NWR Feedback / Friend code forum question.

« on: March 10, 2008, 09:24:51 AM »

Is there a way we could hide the friend code forum from people who don't have 50 posts?  Maybe just give all regular users a one point minumum and lock it to people who don't have that one point?  Something, anything, to keep out the new NWR riff-raff that posts for a day, waits around for a day, and never comes back?  If it actually attracted people here to post regularly, I wouldn't suggest this, but Pokemon did nothing to attract new regulars, except Mashiro, so I'm going to guess this will work about the same way.  I figure this way, we won't need those "absolutely only" friendcodes rule, and I won't feel bad suggesting ways to get online to work, which user has what nick-name in the game, and I won't have to hunt through pages of friend codes to find a regular's name.

I may be the only one that feels that way, but I doubt I'm not.

Also, Smash_Brother is a meanie. :p

I broke my laptop by accidentally shoving a power cord into a usb port.  Now, when I try to turn it on, the computer won't start up and the screen won't turn on.  I think the issue is the usb port, that its shorting out everything.  Let me know if you have any advice and please post HP's tech support number, anyone.

NWR Forums Discord / Star Wars Mafia: Prelude to day one. The game's over. Time to reset.

« on: March 02, 2008, 06:11:32 PM »

Home One, this is Gold Leader.  Since we won't get another shot at this, I thought I'd risk it all and make a thread before the day begins, but for after we receive our roles.  Khush will have the day out, but we've got to give him more time!

Edit:  I'll repost my offer:  I won't vote for whoever creates a Lando avatar that I use in the game, so long as that person isn't Pale.

MAJOR EDIT:  The mafia:  KashogiStogi, Dasmos, Bustin98, and NuclearSpeed.

How do I know?  I told Atrun Zala earlier today that the good players know everything before the game has started.  I count this as a victory for townies everywhere.  And ha!  I was right not to trust Dasmos, so take that, my secret ally!



Look at who he sent the message to.  At first, I thought he may be genuinely clueless about his role, and was PMing everyone who had sent him a message about it.  Of course, then I realized I was on when Dasmos was on far earlier and didn't mention PMing him, meaning that he either lied to me or didn't send him a message, NuclearSpeed had only just logged on since the roles went out when I got that message.  Bustin, however, was the only one he would have talked to prior to sending this message, so perhaps Bustin isn't mafia despite this evidence.

NWR Forums Discord / Applaud THE Princess thread (formally, "Dear whomever is lowering my score.")

« on: February 25, 2008, 09:41:12 PM »

I have two separate requests, please choose one:

1.  Continue to lower my score and place me deep in the negatives.

-or-

2. Stop and allow me to continue my reign as point overlord, at least until my title changes.

Either one is fine with me, Pale.

NWR Feedback / Something's wrong with "Who's Online." Edit: It's working now

« on: February 25, 2008, 07:28:34 AM »

Who's Online is showing me the same people and the same actions as it did yesterday night.  Everyone's in the same order, as well, which is determined by the time the action they make is done.  For instance, whenever you normally look at the area, you're typically at the top of the list, because by clicking "Who's Online," you've likely made the most recent action.  However, right now, I'm about tenth down the list.  The odd thing about this is that the times listed are being updated as time passes.

General Chat / NWR Forum Trivia

« on: February 23, 2008, 10:22:53 AM »

Yes, I've decided to start posting trivia questions on NWR, maybe once a day or so.  Go ahead and give answering a try!  All you have to do is answer first.  Feel free to include your own trivia questions!  I'll be leaving some questions ambiguous to add to the difficulty, leaving out names of specific games or characters or other things, since this is the internet.

Please refrain from answering more than once per day.  I don't mean answering with 24 hours in-between each answer, but rather, I mean that the day of your post is different.  You're answer will be ignored if you're answer is within the same day in your timezone.  You may only answer one question at a time, but you may answer any question that is posted.

For the first question:

What happens when you hit the riverboat on D.K.'s Jungle Parkway? You crash, then land in the water.

Atrun Zala: 1
Smoke39: 1
DAaaMan64: 2

NWR Forums Discord / Disney and Nintendo presents!

« on: February 23, 2008, 08:21:04 AM »

Disney-Nintendo's Chozo Jungle Cruise.

The attraction is a hovercraft journey through the jungles of Brinstar, Norfair and Crateria. The hovercraft will later be revamped to a more authentic, weathered style. The guides will use the Charge Beam, missiles, and super missiles, and are upgraded at the end of each trip with the Wave Beam. The hovercraft's pilot provides humorous narration featuring puns relating to the various scenes viewed during the ride (the metroid are protecting the sleeping torizo, those are plastic etecoons, etc). The seemingly ad-libbed comments individual pilots often include during their recitations make each ride on the Chozo Jungle Cruise a substantially different experience. The test script, however, is legendary among Disney-Nintendo beta testers. Competitions in which they compete to say the seven-minute spiel the fastest have been held.

NWR Forums Discord / You know what? Kotaku is a pretty good site.

« on: February 20, 2008, 08:00:55 AM »

I mean, I go there.  About five times a day.  I like the way they do things.  There's news and opinions, and it's all new and fast!  It's not like the editors are fanboys are anything, they're just bloggers, like you and me, if we had video-game blogs that are internationally known.  So what if about seven posts a day are about Halo?  People care about Halo, that's why they do it.  Cut them some slack.  NWR could learn something about Kotaku.

It's pretty clear that Evan is attempting to take over the new forum, and that he's got Crimm on his side.  We've got to do something about this.  Does anyone have Windyman's phone number?
