Mario Chat / Do you believe in Mario?

« on: May 16, 2008, 06:58:04 PM »

This may seem like a childish question, but after studying the Multiverse Theory, my 7-year old fantasies are returning to me. If you haven't heard of it, the Multiverse Theory states that thier are Quadrillions of universes. These alternate universes are created when a random event happens. Ex: You flip a coin. The Universe splits. In one universe, the coin lands on heads. In another, the coin lands on tails. This theory can lead to extreme ideas, such as the Earth never being created, or even, different species on Earth. With so many universes, I find it near-certain that somewhere, thier is a reality similar to Mario's...perhaps even exactly like it. So...What's your opinion?

Game Help / Internet Connections...Super Smash Bros Brawl

« on: April 01, 2008, 06:10:59 PM »

It's really funny how hard Nintendo tried to make it seem like they have a good internet connection service, and then kicks you right in the face when your ready for fun. Anyway, after spending another 40$ on Wireless Internet. (THis makes more then 150$ JUST trying to use Nintendo internet) It finally starts working. I immediatly go to Brawl to play.

So I play a normal match. After 6 minuites, all 4 players have joined, the match begins. Three words. SLOW. AS. HELL. Slower then the original Smash Bros. Slower then Brawl normal gameplay. Kidding you, I am not. Suddenly, I'm kicked out of the match, all the way back to normal Brawl screen. So I go onto Internet AGAIN, and do Spectator Mode. Well, within 20 seconds, the match starts. And the match is regular speed! I was so ****ed off, I almost broke the controller in half.

So then I try to Brawl again. After 20 minuites of waiting, I'm kicked out again, without anybody even joining. I try again. This time, it doesn't kick me out. Instead, nothing happens. I go and have dinner, and 1 hour later, I come back to find NOBODY HAS JOINED. What the ******* HELL IS WRONG WITH THE ******* INTERNET? Then, I go to normal Wii Channels, and try to use the Everybody Votes Channel, which I have been aching to use for a year, and it DOESN'T WORK. The Channel where you buy games doens't work. Nothing ******* works. AFTER 150$, NOTHING ******* HAPPENS. HOW MUCH GOD[darn] MONEY MUST I SPEND ON THIS FORSAKEN SYSTEM? 600? WHAT IS THIS? A PLAYSTATION 3? [darn] YOU NINTENDO. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON YOUR FALSE ADVERTISING. I...I..........
