Rummy

I'll give you 1 beeelion dollars! To everyone saying how low this is etc, it isn't low, its fair, reciepts have a legitimate use. Whoever buys it thinking it's a Wii is an absolute tard though.

I just filled in the form on the uk site, I said I needed 4 when I actually only need 2, I dunno why. I find it weird they ask for the serial number of the Wii, is it a sly way to track/register all the Wiis? You could say it's to prevent people from ordering lots of straps, but surely they can check by checking the address? Although, I suppose there might just be people out there without a Wii who would try it too.

you need the picture of him with his mask off! ahh, classic episode where they're eating. I may be totally imagining it, but is there a ghostbusters reference in it too?

Man, you all suck, I'm gonna do it now with Wii Play then edit this post in a few minutes. EDIT: Aaaand....it acted like nothing was in the drive.

I thought the point of Wii codes was to avoid that! What the hell are Nintendo doing?! It's like, they have a good thing going, but they like to go and ruin it!

I see no point in this, even if you had like a dodgy wii to take back, you are losing money. Maybe it's just a dummy auction for some weird reason, maybe they made it to rep themselves up, I refuse to believe the buyer was serious though. The buyer's rep seems to all be from the same person too... Only viable reason would be if there was credit card details on the reciept and someone wanted to scam those.

First, and really basic question, did you unplug the usb cable from the modem while you tried the ethernet? It is really basic, and I don't mean to insult you by asking, but I know people who've overlooked it before. Did you set up all the stuff on the router such as username/password etc to connect if you need to use any of that? I don't know alot about things, plus I have AOL bband and a dlink router, so my setup procedure is probably quite different from yours. Does the router have any sort of quick setup wizard type thing? Have you actually managed to access the router through the PC yet? The modem should have both a port for a USB cable(it isnt a USB port though) and an ethernet port. Using an ethernet cable you connect the modem to the WAN port on the router. Then with another cable connect the PC to one of the other ethernet ports on the router. Another problem may be the type of cable you are using, there are two types of ethernet cable. Crossover and Patch cable, do you know which you are using, and whether the modem/router can work with both?

I don't go to alot of gigs for big bands, I tend to just go to lots of little local gigs around my area. Haven't got much going on at the moment either, as it's christmas time.

Best books ever, seriously probably still my favourite series of all time, closely followed by HP. Which, as the poster said, got ruined in a way by the films(with books you make up the pictures and stuff in your mind, then see it all different when you see the films). I'm very grateful to a mate for throwing a book at me on a bus one day! Has anyone got a link to a page or anything with info/news of these films? I've been hearing about them for quite a while yet never really heard much of substance. Whilst I'm aware it won't be as good as the books, I'd still want to see it, then read the books through again. If you're worried it'll ruin the books for you, don't go see the film, no matter what people say about them. To anyone who hasn't read the books, read them. I'd definitely definitely recommend reading the books before seeing the films. I think what makes them so good is as Oxigen said, they're not fairy tale books, they've got alot of truths of life in them, and don't feel unrealistic at all.

I realised at 6.30 I'd missed half of it and decided not to watch the rest, it was just what I need to put me in some proper christmas spirit

It isn't strictly related to the film, but it is TMNT related. I came across the link on knitemare.org, a fantastic site for them funny cat pictures. Anyway, on with the comic! It made me chuckle. http://xkcd.com/c197.html

Wasn't Gareth Jones on it too? For some reason I thought he was...

Dead people get judged all the time, people judge others all the time, these people are being judged whether they are dead or not. It isn't to justify their deaths though. I haven't really been following this story, so I don't know alot about it except something like 5 sex workers have been killed(strangled I think) and then dumped in places. I think this is just some guy who's screwed up in the head, it isn't about sex but it is, that's why he's targeting sex workers. Were all these women known to each other? How would making brothels legal solve the problem? I think if someone truly wants someone dead, they'll find a way. I suppose that if brothels were legal though, that these women would be better protected. I feel sometimes like crime is getting worse in this country these days, people seem to be getting killed all over the place, yet I never hear anything about the killers being brought to justice. What sort of message does that send out?

Have you played Gunstar Heroes yet :p Someone already said, but GC controllers are supposedly going to work with all VC titles, if not the mahority of them. If you have a GC pad, then don't get a VC one yet. When you download the games, it shows you which pads are compatible with it, so if it comes down to it you can buy a VC pad when you need it or not get a game that is only compatible with it. Hope that made sense and helped you out.

I'm now a pro bowler too! I'm only about 50 points off being a Pro boxer too, I love boxing, makes me feel like it's good for me the way I'm jumping around and my heart's pumping. Nintendo were very smart for packing this with the console.

I like red dwarf alot, I remember I only really saw the last few series when I was younger though, and as with everything, they seemed much better as a kid. I think my sister bought all the series on DVD, and I probably have to agree with mcj that Series 6 with Legion and Gunmen of the Apocalypse was pretty good, but so were series 1-5!. I liked it when Rimmer got his hard light drive. Series 6 is where the lose red dwarf but it isn't really explained very well right? Dw...Dw....DWAYNE DIBBLEY?!!? EDIT:I liked 7 too actually, the first episode at least, where they go back in time and solve/create the JFK assasination plot. There was an ace rimmer episode, and I liked the backstory explanation in the one where Kochanski comes back.

I actually kind of like Lil' Chris's sound, I don't see why everyone here seems to hate him so passionately. Also, this is a thread about Lil' Chris, not other bands, why does The Bard keep trying to derail it? He'll have a growth spurt and end up 7 feet tall, and which point the name will be ironic enough to keep :p

Gameplay first, then graphics. Graphics enhance an already good gameplay, it's like a...erm...thinking of an analogy but can't quite get it out. You need good gameplay first before good graphics can matter enough though, or at least thats what I think.

I'm sure the mods are capable of doing their jobs, there is no need for you to minimod and spam up the boards, whilst bumping old threads. I see you seem to be doing it in a number of threads. I realise I have in effect done what I just criticised you for, but just this once, because I hate you.

I love him, can't believe I missed hignfy last night! He makes me laugh more than most professional comedians.

I say yes. Some heavies in suits broke into my house and kidnapped my dog, then I got a phone call telling me that if I ever told anyone how great I think the Wii is they would kill poor little Ruffles. No, I don't think Sony have a hand in it, but I think it is very very likely. That may sound like a contradiction, but I dunno, I just think they wouldn't go that far, and at the same time that they would. I also wasn't aware that the photo in question has been shopped, but I wouldn't know how to tell as I have the photoshopping abilities of a speck of bacteria on a steamy turd. (Ruffles is an awesome name, I decide here and now if I ever get a dog to call him Ruffles, it also sounds like roffles.)

Which firmware update when? I checked for updates at 2am this morning and there was nothing...

Came across this on Gamewinners's forums; Enjoy and discuss. EDIT:This could be made into a general wii hacking thread actually, as I'm sure it's something on everyone's minds. Personally, I look forward to someone cracking the encryption on the Wii saves so that you can edit them like emulator save states if possible, I miss the days of N64 action replay

Happy Birthday Letty! (Check my l33t english skills, other languages are for noobs!)

God does not play dice.
