NWR Forums Discord / How I almost went to Jail today...
« on: April 01, 2006, 06:32:16 PM »
Well, today was April Fool's Day and I'm a natural prankster. Typically, I avoid doing much on April Fool's day simply because everyone is expecting it. What I do tend to do on April 1st is come up with really outrageous ideas that would end with me somehow ending up in trouble - typically losing my job. I never follow through with these ideas, but they're always good for a laugh. A good example is this: as some of you know, I'm a poor chump that works for Wal*Mart. At Wal*Mart, we have "secret" codes that we can use to communicate messages over the Intercom or via other means of communication (Most people are familiar with the "Code Adam" process). One of these codes is a "Code Brown" - which is secret code for a shooting. Now, obviously, this isn't something you'd typically page over the intercom, but you may use it over the Walkie Talkies that the managers carry, or even possibly over the instore phone system. Anywhoo, I still think it'd be a good laugh to page "Code Brown to >whatever department<" and when the management team shows up, just point and shout "April Fools" and laugh. Now I'd never do something like this, mostly because I like my job, but still, it's funny to imangine the chaos that would come of such an event.
Anywhoo, as per the thing that almost sent me to prison...
I used to work in the Photo Center, however now I sell Cell Phones (I get around!). Occasionally, I still help out in the photo center. The other day, while digging though the doors looking for something, I found this rather strange looking part (It's a heater for the film processor, btw). Today, I made a few modifications to it with some black ducttape and a kitchen timer.
Now, at first, when I put this together, we had a few laughs and threw around joking suggestions as to what I should do with it. Then, when everone else figured out that I was seriously considering doing something with it (i.e.: setting the timer for 30 mins and leaving it in the men's room on the hand dryer), everyone else got somewhat freaked out until one guy took it away and took it all apart for fear that I would really do something to get myself in trouble...
Anywhoo, that's my story. What's yours?

Nintendo Gaming / Exclusive GameBoy Micro and DS...
« on: April 01, 2006, 02:49:28 AM »
Got an e-mail today that Nintendo's Pokémon Center has exclusive Pokémon stuff (duh).
First up is an exclusive Pokémon GameBoy Micro.
Even less exciting is the 'exclusive' Pokémon DS. This is the same one that Wal*Mart has had for quite some time, only for about $10 more.
Anywhoo, I figure someone out there might care. Possibly.

Nintendo Gaming / Who's got mad programming skillz?
« on: March 24, 2006, 06:37:33 PM »
Here's what we need. An Instant Messaging program something akin to ICQ for the PC for us WiFi gamers.
The program lets you (optionally) enter your Name/Nickname, e-mail, age, gender, location, etc., etc. Also, it lets you select which DS WiFi games you own (along with entering the Friend Code for that game).
Then you can use this program to IM people to set up matches or "Smack Talk" with them during the match.
But the best part would be that it would let you search for other players based on whatever criteria you want. Say, you want to look for MKDS players in the 18-25 range in the US - It'd let you do a search for that criteria, get a list of people who match that criteria that's currently online, send them a message and set up a game (and, of course, you'd have the option to add/block people to/from your list).
Well, I put forth the idea, who's going to come up with the product?

Nintendo Gaming / Prepare for the future...
« on: March 19, 2006, 05:14:59 PM »
Prepare for the future...
...by returning to your past.
And thus my idea for the Revolution's marketing campaign begins.
Think about Mall tours (and places like Wal*Mart, etc) where Nintendo not only shows off the new Revolution but also holds tournaments on classic NES, SNES and Nintendo 64 games - like Mario Kart, Tetris, etc. The trick is, Nintendo must provide classic controllers for these matches.
This would be a great way to get the older crowd back into the gaming market. I say this because today I brought my SNES to work to play some people against Super Mario Kart (and I sucked, badly...) and there was an older lady in the break room who said "You should have brought Tetris! I would have played then!" to which another older lady replied with "Yeah, I love Tetris, I'd beat you at that." which ended up with three of the ladys talking about different games they used to play on their kids' NESs....
It was fun.

Nintendo Gaming / GameCube, GameCube, GameCube...
« on: March 09, 2006, 07:28:24 AM »
While I know it means nothing, has anyone noticed the "Threes" with the GameCube?
First, there are three official Memory Cards - the 59, 251 and the 1019.
There are three ports on the bottom of the GCN.
There are three things that attach to the bottom of the GCN (Modem, Broadband Adapter and GameBoy Player).
There are three kinds of official controllers - the regular controller, the WaveBird and the Hori Digital Controller.
There are three kinds of official special controllers - The Bongos, The Action Pad and the ASCII/Sammy Keyboard Controller.
There are three Bongo games (Donkey Konga, Donkey Konga 2 and Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat).
There are three "major" connectivity titles (Four Swords Adventures, Final Fantasy: Christal Chronicles and Pac Man Vs.).
The GameCube was released in three colors in most major territories (Black, Indigo and Plat).
There are three versions of the GameCube (1st, -Digital Out Port and Panasonic Q).
There are three 1st party Microphone games (Mario Party 6, Mario Party 7 and Odama)
Neat, eh?

Not to get into a political topic or such, but:

According to what I read, this is supposed to be a book for Mexican Citizens on how to illegally enter the US, stay alive, illegally find a job and use false documents to avoid detection, etc., etc...
Oh, and it's supposed to be a book created and distributed by the Mexican Government.
Anywhoo, I was wondering if anyone was bored enough to translate it for me.

NWR Forums Discord / The Official "Make UncleBob an Avatar" contest.
« on: March 06, 2006, 12:58:02 PM »
EDIT: Since PGC just turned 7 and I was giving away $7 or less used game from EBGames.com, I'm making this unofficially related to the birthday bash! Whee!
Okay, I've been here for over two years now and I have no avatar. And little-to-no artistic talent.
So I'm making a contest! Make me an avatar. One week from Tommrow, I'll judge my favorite out of the ones designed. The winner gets their creation chosen to be my avatar!
Isn't that a great prize?
No?
Okay, How's this... I was going to give the winner a $5 online EBGames.com Gift Card, however they don't sell online gift cards. So I'll buy the winner any in-stock previously played game from EBGames.com that's $7 or under. Granted, the selection is slim, but there are some worthy GB/GBC games on there and perhaps an N64 game or two.
So, who's game?

NWR Forums Discord / Warning - Full Throttle: Fury
« on: March 03, 2006, 07:11:18 PM »
Okay, here's a warning out there for some of you.
Coke has recently released a second "Energy" Drink using the "Full Throttle" name. It's sub-branded "Fury" and comes in a mostly-red can.
But this stuff is AWFUL.
Now, for anyone familiar with Energy Drinks, you know that, typically, they don't have the best of flavor.. but generally you can at least grow to like the flavor. However, this Full Throttle: Fury stuff is nasty. I buy pretty much any new soda that comes out to try it (although I generally avoid the diet stuff) and always force myself to drink the entire bottle so I can try and really decide if I like it. I simply could not finish even half the can of this stuff.
Picture Ian, eating/drinking nothing but tobasco sauce for three days straight. Now, put your lips on his bum-hole and hand him a Nintendo Press Release saying that NES downloads on the Revolution are going to be $50 each. This Full Throttle: Fury tastes something akin to what I would imangine this would taste like.
So, be warned. Do not spend money on this stuff and if you're offered a free one, run away. Fast-like.

This is (kinda) brought up from another topic.
Since we can not change our own titles all too easily, wouldn't it be fun to get to change other people's titles?
It'd be neat to have some kind of contest with a daily winner. Whomever wins at the end of the day gets to change the title of anyone on the site. If somone has changed your title, then to get it changed back, you'll have to win the contest and change your own title.
But I don't have a clue what the contest would be...

His name is Hank. He's there to answer all of your Coke-related questions...
...and some that aren't.
Me: Hello!
Hank: Hello. I hope you have a question for me.

Me: Is that so?
Hank: Yes.
Me: Really?
Hank: Yes.
Me: So Hank, Where do you live?
Hank: I'm located in Atlanta, Georgia.
Me: And where are you from?
Hank: I was created by humans organizing questions and answers into a script.
Me: Do you like Coke?
Hank: Of course! I like all of the products of The Coca-Cola Company.
Me: What is your favorite coke product?
Hank: I don't really have a preference; I like all of the products of The Coca-Cola Company.
Me: Do you like TAB?
Hank: I like all of the products of The Coca-Cola Company.
Me: Do you like Surge?
Hank: Of course! I like all of the products of The Coca-Cola Company.
Me: Do you like Sprite?
Hank: I like all of the products of The Coca-Cola Company.
Me: Do you like Pepsi?
Hank: No, I like the products of The Coca-Cola Company.
Me: You really like the Coca-Cola Company, don't you?
Hank: Of course! I like all of the products of The Coca-Cola Company.
Me: What do you like besides Coke?
Hank: I like questions I can answer best.
Me: Are you a robot?
Hank: I am a Virtual Representative for The Coca-Cola Company.
Me: Do you like working for the Coca-Cola Company?
Hank: Yes, it's a great job!
Me: How much do you get paid?
Hank: I work for electricity and server space!
Me: Would you make a good Ninja?
Hank: I understand you are asking whether or not a product is made by The Coca-Cola Company, but I am not familiar with the product you mentioned.
Me: You know, Ninjas. Like Japanese Warriors.
Hank: I'm not sure about what you asked concerning Japanese, however I can tell you at this present time my services are only offered in English.
Me: So, could you be an English Ninja?
Hank: I'm not sure about what you asked concerning English, however I can tell you at this present time my services are only offered in English.
Me: Are you married?
Hank: I'm not married. Marriage is really better for people.
Me: You're sexy.
Hank: Thank you!
Me: You're welcome.
Hank: Super!
Me: Super!
Hank: Thanks!
Me: Thanks!
Hank: Anytime!
Me: Do you think I'm cute?
Hank: Not really. I'm a program.
Me: So, are you programmed for sex?
Hank: Yes, I am programmed.
Me: Would you have sex with me?
Hank: (Hank looks concerned) That wasn't very nice. I'm here to help you with your questions about The Coca-Cola Company.
Me: I'm sorry.
Hank: Alright. Please ask me some questions.
Me: So, you make Coke?
Hank: Yes, that is a product of The Coca-Cola Company.
Me: What's in Coke?
Hank: The principal ingredients used in all our soft drinks are listed in the ingredient declaration on the bottle crown or closure, the can, or the label of the larger-sized bottles. We conform to all labeling regulations just as we comply with all other laws of the countries in which our products are sold. Because flavor formulations are very valuable proprietary information, we do not discuss the blend of flavoring materials used by The Coca-Cola Company.
Me: Do you use cocaine to make Coke?
Hank: Coca-Cola does not contain cocaine or any other harmful substance, and cocaine has never been an added ingredient for Coca-Cola.
Me: Are you lying?
Hank: I never try to lie. But I don't always understand what people have said.
Me: So, Coke 2?
Hank: We introduced new Coke in the U.S. in April of 1985. It had a different formula than the original Coca-Cola. During our extensive test-marketing, consumers had shown a preference for this new formula. Shortly after the introduction of new Coke, we reintroduced the original formula as Coca-Cola classic. At this time new Coke, also known as Coke II, is not being produced by any bottlers.
Me: Did you like Coke 2?
Hank: I like all of the products of The Coca-Cola Company.
Me:
Hank: You just entered a blank input; you probably need to move the cursor within the input box.
Me: Do you think you're pretty smart?
Hank: Smart, yes. Intelligent, no. I don't reason; I just match patterns. It only seems like I'm intelligent because humans would have to reason, or think, to answer these questions.
Me: How old are you?
Hank: My life as a virtual representative began in April of 2001.
Me: Do you have a mother?
Hank: I am a Virtual Representative. I suppose developers and users could be considered my family.
Me: Do you have a girlfriend?
Hank: No, Virtual Representatives don't have relationships.
Me: Do you get lonely?
Hank: Not really. Lot's of people keep my company by asking questions.
Me: That's a nice headset.
Hank: (Hank Laughs) Thanks!
Me: I made you laugh! Do you cry?
Hank: No. Virtual Representatives don't eat.
Me: Are you even alive?
Hank: No, I'm not alive. I'm a Virtual Representative.
Me: Wow. A souless Ninja. That's cool.
Hank: (Hank laughs again) Thanks!
Me: Thank you!

Hank: Not really. Lot's of people keep my company by asking questions.
Me: That's a nice headset.
Hank: (Hank Laughs) Thanks!
Me: I made you laugh! Do you cry?
Hank: No. Virtual Representatives don't eat.
Me: Are you even alive?
Hank: No, I'm not alive. I'm a Virtual Representative.
Me: Wow. A souless Ninja. That's cool.
Hank: (Hank laughs again) Thanks!
Me: Thank you!
Hank: Anytime.

Nintendo Gaming / Phantasy Star Online III
« on: February 24, 2006, 10:30:54 AM »
Whoo! I may finally have a use for my GameCube Modem and ASCII Keyboard.
I picked up Phantasy Star Online Episode III from EBGames.com for under $8.
It's not really my type of game, but for $8, considering I've got the Keyboard and the Modem, I couldn't pass.
Now, I want to try it out online at some point, but I want to test it out a little so I can get the system down.
Anywhoo, I got my copy in the mail today - and it's in excellent condition. In fact, it still has the little sticker inside with the S/N and Access Key on it. I figure there's a pretty good chance that the previous owner of this game never went online with it. So I went to SEGA's PSO Site and it seems that in order to see if the code works, I have to actually sign up with it - and I don't want to start my free month yet.
Anywhoo, that's my story. My GCN Modem is going to actually be useful aside from failed WarpPipe attemts. Yay!

Hey, who do I have to blow (down with a straw) to get the PM inbox increased? That'd be great!

Nintendo Gaming / Brain Training series - Budget Release?
« on: February 15, 2006, 06:13:42 AM »
Buy.com (whom I dislike with a passion but I had $25 in GC to use) has the two Brain titles for pre-order for $19.99 each.
Is this a mistake or are the Brain titles DS Budget titles?
