Hmm, seeing as you refer to it as "the" carrot, does that mean in the UK there's some sort of tradition involving consuming half a mince pie, half a glass of milk, and half "the" carrot? In any case though, Merry Christmas evryone! I suppose for some of you, I'm actually posting ...

Try another way of saying that.

Hi everyone. I'm posting this from my now internet-browsered Wii. Honestly, though, I still prefer my computer for it though.
It took me, like, five minutes just to type up this post with the Wiimote...

I mean, sure, if you type in "f*** tree" or "kill chair" or something like that in a Space Quest or Quest for Glory game you MIGHT get a joke if the programmer thought to add that in there. Most of the time all you'll get is "I don't understand the word "f***" or ...

Basically for the options that couldn't be done with a point and click interface.  When you only have 3 icons to interact with the environment, there arent nearly as many jokes you can include in a game....

I saw that light turn on right when I first tried a cube game in the Wii, I thought the light also turned on when cube games were in. I was actually a little dissapointed when it turned out just to be a message. lol In other news, the beta version of the Wii internet browser (Opera) should be availa...

Happy belated birthday dude! Here's hoping for many happy returns....

Hmm, that could work... Thanks!

Are those versions of windows available for free though?

Have you tried using VDMSound or DosBox? Well, it's the windows version, so it won't run in Dos (or DosBox). A quick google of VDMSound appears to list it as sound support for dos games, but I'll try it anyway... Thanks for your help! Edit: Well, I tried that, but when I tried to run it with VDMSou...

Edit#3: Apparenly editing this in one forum now changes the thread in the other one as well, so here's my problem again. Sorry for all the trouble people... I'm attempting again to play through Shadows of Darkness (Windows version from the Anthology CD, with voices turned off), and it's going well f...

Tap your head? I thought you were supposed to thumb your nose and wiggle your fingers......

K Pidgeot, you've been added to my console... And sorry to hear about the shortages there Broomie. Nintendo is suposedly doing all it can to meet the demand of the European launch though, so here's hoping you get it in time!  ;)

Cool! My console # is 6645 4406 7503 2704

Darn you and your superior packaging of Wii Sports! And Wii play..! Your dog looks pretty eerie in that picture though, for some reason.....

On the other hand, how do you feel about trading Wii #s? I've been waiting for a chance to see the Mii parade in action...

Can't sleep... Toys-R-Us opening in eight hours.... Must.. get.. Wii... Cartman was right, this wait is unbearable...  8o

Edit: Er, what he said... ^^^^^^ However, I beleive that the white only Wiis are only for the Launch period, where Nintendo is trying to avoid confusion by only selling one type of unit... I'd expect other colors (or at least black) to be available before too long, although you'll be stuck with only...

Yes. "Closed beta testing" doesn't mean no forum visitors can be involved. It simply means we don't throw a beta version of the game out to the public and say: "Here's the game. Let us know about all the bugs you come across." When beta testing starts, we'll announce we're looki...

Worst. Typos. Ever.

I finally got me a Wii preorder! I went to Toys R Us on Saturday afternoon, where there were already 8 people in line for PS3 preorders. No one else came to wait for the Wii until the next morning, but by the time I woke up (and looked outside of the tent I was in), it must have been over 30 people ...

I don't know whether stores have begun taking preorders for Wii & PS3 yet in Europe, but if not, it'd be advisable to keep a close eye on that info. For those of you who haven't already noticed, it seems that preorders have become the new launch dates, thanks largely to XBox 360 shortages last y...

No, I try to avoid thinking when I can. Gives me a headache.

Well marking it is one thing, but isn't a sticky just a bit much?

jpnuar1 mentioned that 2 days ago Brooms. OMGWTFBBQ! PWNED!!!!!11!1!!SHIFTONE!!11!!!111111 Sorry, I just couldn't resist.... But who says points can't be brought up more than once in a thread? Price and release date are pretty much the gaming topic of the weekend, after all... Or at least, they're ...

Hoorah! March release in Europe only a rumor after all! You'll all be able to get it starting on the 8th of December, for about the same price as in the Americas... http://wii.ign.com/articles/732/732712p1.html Also details on European launch titles, virtual console, and of course, full coverage of ...

they have always said the whole world will get it this year. Nintendo said it was aiming for a global release, yes. Unfortunately, it has also gone on record stating that the Wii would cost less than $249, and has now revealed that it will cost $250. It has said that Wii and Gamecube versions of Tw...
