Haven't spoken to the rat since he got banned. He's not coming anywhere near the site design. Its for the greater good.

So far I've gotten Infernal, Mario (Grubdog), RABicle, Hybrid Hunter and Termin8Anakin involved with this in some way. Others are on the way.

We've been very busy at the moment (first semester is wrapping up about now) so perhaps after that we'll actually be able to seriously post.

EDIT: that reminds me, Infernal is probably working on his first article for the site right now. And you'll love it.

NWR Forums Discord / We're moving the Funhouse to pietriots.com
« on: June 01, 2007, 10:09:53 PM »
Ahahahahaha, now that I have your attention, the title is a lie.

Pietriots.com is a venture started by the Aussies that you know and love from NWR (well, the cool ones, the others aren't around anymore). We reminisce about the failure that was the Aussie thread every day, and we've been scheming from the day that thread died to create a domain where we can post whatever we want. The Aussie board was fine for a while but now we're looking to venture into the domain of shenanigans and ribaldry.

Its currently being run off my internet connection so if you hit it hard enough I reckon it will fall over. Trust me, its very easy to throttle an Aussie connection - the kangaroos can only run so fast when they've got packets in their pouch. If you guys are interested in interacting with us on a regular basis (we've got a lot of ideas to unveil, most of which will be posted directly on the site rather than this thread) then post here and let us know. Currently we can't be bothered with opening up the place to your Joe Gas Station users but if there is enough interest then we're more than happy to bring on the masses.

I'll give you guys a bit of a teaser: the Pokemon Tour is heading  around Australia in early July. Yes, a NAL event. As rare as it is (four years - Termin8 covered it), it certain is a controversial event. Well, there's not as much snaking, but you know what I'm talking about. Like that guy who pulls out an ice move on the hope of freezing and pulls it off. Yeah, that kind of bullshit.

So that is our venture. Initially it is not going to compete with the likes of NWR (lawl we don't want to moderate forums) or GoNintendo (we don't want to be bearded baldies and have no life at all) or even IGN (although I still want to punch Cam Shea in the face - oops, Aussie joke). But we're going to have some fun with it - talking about things other than games is definitely on the cards.

PS: I'm aware of the rules regarding advertising. But considering I'm not some sort of fly-by-night poster and that the Pietriots are better than any of the other spammers that have frequented recently (except for Garmin guy, he wasn't from here but he was highly amusing!). So do your worst, because the cost-benefit analysis I did for this post over a few beers indicated there was nothing to lose!

EDIT:

In my wisdom I didn't even add in a link to click. What's up with that? Its been fixed right here

And I expect the other Pietriots to come out endorsing this site, maybe they'll tease you further with information. Or maybe not!

I meant to say titles instead of sigs. I don't pay attention to sigs these days.

But yes, I don't 'get' yours.

Democracy should determine nicknames. Its much more funnier when other people understand your sig.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Wii's wifi antenna sucks
« on: May 28, 2007, 05:51:55 PM »
Some routers have to have problems with the Wii - minor changes to the configuration usually fix it. Throw some router specs into nintendowifi.com and see if they have a solution.

I had to switch off one option on my old Netgear router and then wireless worked fine for me. Haven't tried wireless with my new Billion router yet.

I'll believe that Zelda news when I see the video. Until now all I smell is lies - or maybe that's the GAF part of the story.

PR people are up there with lawyers on my list of people that I have disdain for. You know what they're going to say, so why even both with an interview?

But that comment is pretty hilarious. The first thing I do in the morning is shower (or get a strong coffee, then shower) so perhaps I need a decent Wii game to test this theory.

That should've been d-pad movement and touch-aiming!

Already done (and works brilliantly) in Wii Play. Can't see why it doesn't get the same controls.

Also, I didn't think Kuju made Geometry Wars and apparently I'm right - the previous versions were made by Bizarre Creations. I wonder why Kuju's handling it now.. and how it will turn out.


Nope, Kuju are handling the port.

First off: Geometry Wars was a easter egg in PGR2 on the original Xbox. It was developed by one of the programmers from Bizarre and was a minigame.
It then got a sequel, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved - this was done by Bizarre and released on XBLA.

Now its coming to the Wii and DS - I'm definitely interested in this after I played the XBLA demo.
