What really needs to be localised about it compared with the american version?

Ohhh, I didn't know that. I suppose thats my something new learnt for today then!

Why did your last two posts say 10 characters at the end of them?

School of Rock last night, then Zoolander right after both on C4, so I'll just rate them both. School of Rock - A great film, I can't see why anyone wouldn't like this, amusing and heartwarming. Jack Black poses as a schoolteacher when he is a useless bum who's trying to make a life out of music, then ends up lying to everyone and turning his school class into a rock band. I'll give it an 8/10 Zoolander - A slightly weirder film, I think the only reason it gets away with it is because it has a top cast in it. If some random people you didn't know did this, you'd probably think they were all idiots. It's kind of random comedy that doesn't make much sense as it's all overexaggerated stuff, but it's still amusing. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are (really dumb, like blonde dumb) male models in a business where a fashion guru is secretly recruiting male models to become top notch assasins, with a twist. Amusing, but not as good as school of rock, so a 7/10.

I don't think I do alot of running in my dreams, and when I do, I don't think I have much problems doing so, although I recall running on all fours like some retard, but I was hella fast! I do however, seem to have trouble with violence and hitting people in my dreams, people get to batter me to their content, but anything I throw ends up really weak and non-effective, like I put LOADS of effort into and it comes off so weak. Anybody else get this?

I wish I could be a kid again for christmas. Time passes too fast these days, and things like Christmas don't feel as good as they used to. I'm hoping Wii might bring my family together this christmas though, and it'll be really enjoyable. EDIT:This post seems alot more dramatic than it really is.

I wanted to refrain, but I can't take it any longer! ... What colour do you guys see me as?

The real point should be that it is illegal, you are breaking the law and ripping off people's intellectual property. I think one reason for the VC is to give Nintendo more clout to start prosecuting against people who have emulators and ROMs in their possession, as they can now argue it's directly taking away from their revenue, whereas before things like NES, SNES, N64 etc games are no longer produced.

Happy Birthdays!

At the moment, nothing really. I'd like to see alot of those though, theres alot of N64 Rare games that I never got to own or even play, PD, JFG, Tooie. I don't need blast corps though, recently bought a copy on ebay, and probably for less than I would have on the VC. I'd like to get alot of the old Kirby games though, Kirby rocks alot. I'd like Super Mario RPG actually, and the original Paper Mario because I never got to play it. The Final Fantasies would be cool too, I only recently played my first FF game, which was FFX, and so I'd like to get the older ones, though I might get them on GBA/DS instead. I'd like to play Gunstar Heroes actually, turns out I really lied when I said nothing really. Turns out this post has alot of "I'd like..." s As for what Nintendork said about Duck Hunt, it's all correct, the gun had a light detector in it, and so if it could see the white dot it would count as a hit, it also meant you could point the gun at a light and just trigger away apparently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_gun I don't think it'd be possible to directly port duck hunt to the wiimote due to this, it'd need to be remade for the way the wiimote works, and I don't know how good it'd be as I've heard the wiimote isn't 100% absolute accurate(some guys stuck a laser pointer on it with TP, and the fairy on screen wasn't where the laser was).

Something else I'm a bit disappointed about is the fact that some of the games have turned out to be a bit more pants than expected, according to some sources. Namely I'm talking about Red Steel, and I also heard some people saying ExciteTruck wasn't all that either. Lack of colour choice also, what a stupid thing!

Did you just call everyone gay?! I dunno what my strangest dream would be, I've had quite alot, I write them down sometimes and read them months later and think what a freak I am. I love how dreams make so much sense during the dream, less sense after you wake up, and seems bordering on crazy a few months later. It all started in an effort to achive lucidity towards the beginning of the year when my friend told me about it, however, I have yet to actually be successful. I tend to wake up when I realise I'm dreaming and am still asleep, or promptly forget whilst remaining asleep.

I saw Nintendork mentioned it, I'd like a rep system too, I frequent GameWinners forums(I do believe it's vB), and they have a rep system, it's nice to have, and makes you feel good when you get good rep. It's also quite a good deterrent to those same people to not make stupid or rubbish posts as they get bad rep for it. Anyway, I didn't come here to suggest that, I came to suggest a strikethrough option! I wanted to hilariously strikethrough a word in a quoted post to change the meaning in a obvious and amusing way, but alas, I could not. I tell this story, because whilst I want strikethrough, I don't see any other good reasons for it except making jokes.

Wikipedia's page is also good for reading, got alot of detail on it and some nice pictures(the test with the 5s and 2s is a good example of the concept). It sounds pretty amazing to me, and kinda handy to have maybe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia

I saw in the other thread about uniqueness that some people(well, I only saw Letty and Supergrunch) have synesthesia, and I wanted to hear more about it from them! I came across it quite recently in a lecture(Psychology Undergrad) but as far as I'm aware I have yet to actually encounter someone who has it, despite the lecturer telling me it's fairly common. Anyhoo, I just wanted to hear more about it from people who have it, such as how it manifests itself in your case etc... (I dunno if Synesthesic is acutally a word, I made it up) EDIT:It is apparently synaesthetic, so anyone feel free to fix my title for me *looks at Shorty*

Methinks I'm gonna change my plans a little now, found out my store will open at 7am on friday, so I might just wait until whatever time I wake up and go then, rather than getting up early for it.

Heh, good way to get attention. I'm overall a bit disappointed with prices, kinda hoped things would be cheaper all round, console and accessories, I expect the games will be the same price as games are already.

Oh, they looked like bigger discounts than that to me, you get better in GAME :p, unless they changed it in the past year. They give 10% off consoles, 30% off games, 25% off accessories, it's at times like this I wish I still worked there Speaking of work, I'm off!

Where do you work and what are the discount rates? Those look like some pretty decent prices to me!

That was a most excellent post, and I agreed with it, we are indeed arguing over nothing that needs to be argued over. I apologise, I get a bit caught up in things sometimes, but never take me too seriously, I'm not much of a serious guy :p

Maybe I'm willing to take that chance, I don't know if that was supposed to be a dig at me, but I don't appreciate it either way, I don't need to do it to prove or assert anything. I know why I'm posting this, alot better than you do, so don't start making such assumptions, cos that's the sort of shit that really pisses me off. I'm not, I didn't start the topic with anything like that in mind, and I have already stated that I don't want to see it happen. It was just where the thread ended up. However, it doesn't mean I'm not going to enjoy doing it though :P If it's such a non issue for you, why are you even bringing it up, why are you even considering it a possiblity of occurring? Why are you even bothered about what I'm posting or why, looks to me like you've got quite a passion for the issue too. What was annoying me is how everyone seems to be dismissing it so quickly, however, Flaight has made me feel better because I know now that at least one person understands where I'm coming from. I'm actually glad because Nintendo have taken notice by changing the instructions on their site too, rather than ignoring it. They could do with making better straps though, or at least putting the updated safety instructions in every wii(which they may do, we'll know in a week!).

I went into ASDA today, realising it was the 1st of december already and I didn't have an advent calender, looks like ASDA don't have any either . I just wanted to eat it normally until the 8th, then I was going to devour the 9th-24th in celebration before eating my wii.

If it's for A-Level, I'd definitely recommend going, I found my mock exams in maths quite handy for knowing what I needed to improve. I think they've changed maths curriculums now though, do you do 3 P modules, 2 S modules and 1 M module? I suppose this is going off topic actually...

Seems like alot of people have 1 keys near their 2s. Oh wait...well, you know what I mean! Given the current value of the dollar, it works out after a straight exchange of price to £50 cheaper! That's crazy, CRAZY I TELLS YA. As for the original poster, is the price the same in all the shops around? If it isn't, and it's cheaper elsewhere, try ranting at your store saying you were told that it was going to be cheaper than that and if it's going to be more expensive, then you'd rather have all your money refunded because it's cheaper elsewhere, and worth the wait. Sure, you may not mean it, but the shop might think they don't wanna lose the custom, and might knock the extra 10 off the price, it's a bit slim, but might be worth a shot. You do risk looking silly if you threaten it, and then they call you on it though.

Congrats again, even though I sad congrats in meaningless, I think you deserve more, so erm..congrats! Now, if you could just come down to south east ldndon area as my friend who drove me everywhere is off at uni in herts now....
