Rummy

I was up til 4 last night reading Northern Lights, as well as alot of yesterday,

I thought they have a little serial number etched into the plastic, just near the little Nintendo Sticker under the battery cover? It's like a mix of letters and numbers, I can only assume it's a serial for the wiimote?

Looks like the mighty Nintendork has emmegrated over to General Chit Chat! As for the boy, there isn't really much to go on as to why he did it. I don't think at 10 you're likely to commit suicide, or to know of hanging yourself, so it probably was accidental though nothing reallly determines it either way. He probably just didn't understand it when it was on, and wanted to try it or understand it, as weird as that sounds.

Left? I thought he's in the house next door or something? Bit soon to be leaving! I saw the bit where Jade and that went in, I'm glad she's there with her mum, I love Jade, she's so amusing in that naive way, and her mum seems just the same! Jo whatshername didn't look too pleased to see her though, dunno why, but I'd rather watch Jade than her any day! I think it's pretty amusing seeing all the celebrities sort of being upstaged, they probably all hate Jade for not being a real celebrity, which is kind of ironic considering. A really brilliant twist, they have managed to at least match the watchability of last year's show with this(i thought the contestants were pretty dull and outdated otherwise).

I was wasted in when I was in my local hospital, other than that I try to stay out of them as much as possible as a patient. I can't stand general hospitals(I work in the same hospital, but in a small part which is purely psychiatric). This post would die off and we would never know why and you'd feel really bad, maybe.

What did she do? I missed it? Can't believe they just put Jade, her bf and her mum in there. Seriously, I knew it was gonna happen since this afternoon, but I can't believe it actually is. "Big Brother has just made the transition into completely painful freak show" as a friend just described it.

I remember there's a lacoste advert which has a woman sort of dancing around the street, and there's music playing over it (Originally Let Me Show You The Way, which i searched for for a whole week), and every few months they simply change the music on it and that's that. Does annoy me muchly, for some weird reason, probably cos I liked the original song. One thing that keeps annoying me is theres an advert where a doorbell is rung and it sounds EXACTLY like my doorbell, and I think I have to get up to answer it because I'm not paying attention to the advert.

The fact that you're trying to stop it, but I highly doubt the effort will have much of a result. If anything, it might lead to the use of the smiley to be increased.

I am impressed with your hospital that you get to access the internet! Where the hell do you go to hospital?!

I also find this topic to be hugely ironic.

Just turned it on for a little bit, H seems a bit annoying, he's got a bit of a shreiky laugh sort of thing, which he seems to do alot.

Ahh, classic, I do that alot with stuff. Problem is sometimes when you take something back as faulty, you can't say 'It's broke so I want a refund' then you end up with something extra that you don't need. Extra wiimote's always handy though!

Nah what they'd probably do is take a new wiimote out of another console(if they have it) and then replace it with the broken one and send it back. They might just do it with a regular wiimote off the shelf, most stores don't put faulty exchanges through the books or anything(like on the customer side). Haden, I'd say to try and get a replacement for yours too. Was their any point to this stupid and annoying post? Or are you simply the new replacement Solitanze?

The retailer should replace it for you, I think they are obliged to at least contact the company for you within the first six months, although they won't tell you that and probably aren't even aware of that fact. Just make sure you have your reciept, go to the shop and tell them. How did you managed to break the b button anyway? Just because the retailer won't replace it in some circumstances...

Is the front page headline of The Mirror today, I was just leaving the computer when I picked the paper up and saw it, HAD to post it on here. I dunno which is the appropriate forum, so I am putting it here. I haven't read the article yet, about to get a link from the official site for you guys. Jesus, just reading the first line though, it's gotta be a stupid misunderstanding, no way can a GBA electrocute you to death. Fuck you Daily Mirror. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_headline=killed-by-his-xmas-game-boy%26method=full%26objectid=18393890%26siteid=94762-name_page.html All right, I read it, for a front page story it took all of one minute to read. What a goddamn joke! People have said stuff about Sony playing dirty and paying papers to put bad press out about Nintendo, which I always though was a bit extreme, but given this is such a short and basic story, why the hell is it on the front page?! Turns out it was something to do with the current of Thai electricity, and he did it when unplugging the charger, so in fact, it could have happened with anything, and isn't actually the direct fault of the GBA. His parents even said 'This wouldn't have happened in England'. I keep calling it a GBA, when I'm not even sure what it was, I only assume that it's a GBA because of the picture on the front page, whereas it is referred to as a Game Boy throughout the article. This, to me, is really quite bad journalism.

Damn, thanks, can I get a lock over here?

Interesting, hopefully mine'll arrive soon then, I don't like these old straps, I'm a bit over worried about it. I've stopped strapping them into the nunchuk too because it looks like it's weakening them each time I do then take it out. When I get the new ones I might try a test to see which one's stronger, although I'm probably too lazy and don't have any sorts of standard mass.

Any reason why? Or did you just fancy getting a DSM for the hell of it? I've never actually looked in one, I wouldn't know where to start. I might try and find one next time I'm at work though. Elekko, have you spoken to this girl yet, or have you even seen her? I'm curious as to how things are turning out.

I haven't seen it yet! I was busy last night and the night before, I come home on wednesday quite drunk to see who was in it, and tbh I am most dissappointed. Last year they had a relatively high calibre of celebrity, this year, well, most of them I don't even know! Either that or they're like celebrities that are 10+ years out of date. What's Dirk Benedict like? I'd love him to win, I'd actually love to just watch him in a house as a normal person.

lol, watched the vid and find it amusing, to an extent. They do have a bit of a point though, sometiems theres those people who are easily influenced by it. I say develop a test to see how much of a weak minded sheep you are, and if you pass it, you get a flashy looking thing that says you have a license to play video games. I would really love to be able to say I have a license to play vdieo games, for some weird reason.

Games make me happy in my pants, and are far from evil. I didn't actually watch the video yet, as I have too many windows, but I shall in like...5 minutes! Rar!

Aren't bubbles already like mulitcoloured? They look much better like that, imo. Couldn't you easily do this yourself by putting copius amounts of food colouring in bubble mixture? I doubt it is that easy, but it seems it. How hard can it be to make bubbles coloured? Does anyone know how they do do it?

I don't mean to divert from the topic, but what are you doing that you have the DSM? Theres a little book which they look in for all people with mental problems I think, he looked up your 'symptoms' in it and diagnosed you as a crazy ass stalker psychopath! Well no, but he's saying you match the symptoms of the thing he mentioned. Also, you will interpret everything in your favour, because you believe in it, and want it to be that way too. That's why I was telling you not to get your hopes up at all.

Happy Birhtday to him indeed! He does bring a bit of colour to the wii forum, quite amusing sometimes.

I had goldeneye for a bit(well, when the N was nearing it's end) and never played PD really, then one day me and a marte had a N day and he broguth Pd round and tbh when I saw it I just though 'wow, this looks shit', it played wellt hough, whichw reren't too shabby, but I felt it didn't seem that great(out of its time basically). I'm not sure where I'm going with this anymore, I think it was to support Dork's point about how some stuff doesn't age well, like OoT, it is so much easier than I remember, you can 100% it in a week with guides, and even less if you got at it hardcore. I think *all* IP was registered in Rare's name, not the Stampers', and so any IP that even they developed will belong to the company as whole, not them.
