[quote name='wubb']I just discovered that some people collect gift cards. Meaning cards that have been used up ($0 value) or never activated. Interesting to me. Seeing as how pretty much everyone tosses those suckers, but there are tons of different designs that are constantly being refreshed, I could see it being something that becomes valuable in a couple decades. Only problem is that since they are plastic they are going to last forever no matter how they are stored. Pretty much anything short of a fire won't damage them a bit.

That said, I'm going to keep tossing any I have in the trash once they are used up.[/QUOTE]

I remember wal-mart had some star wars GC's and I thought, "I should hang on to this, someone may want this one day." But I just tossed it.
 
[quote name='Roufuss']Ok... the DS Lite works perfectly on the Nintendo Wifi USB adapter, but I can't get the Wii to get more than one bar for signal strength.

What the hell am I doing wrong?[/QUOTE]Foil backed insulation in your walls, maybe. But if the DS works fine from the exact same location, that is indeed weird.

I needed a lot more than usual this semester. I had 4 for Chemistry, 3 for History, 2 for Numerical Methods, and then just 1 for Thermodynamics.

Same thing I am, I guess.

Which is why I wish Nintendo would HURRY THE fuck UP and release their ethernet adapter so I can play my Wii online YOU SLACKERS.
 
[quote name='Dkellar']Glad to see you got it. BRB GOTTA HEAD TO EB FOR ANOTHER WII HUNT!



Edit: Cancel that, just called and they don't have any. I think the employees at this EB are buying them. This is TWICE the same store has received Wii's according to the Itrackr.com but when I call they tell me there is none instock.....[/QUOTE]

It's all the dawgs fans. They all play with wiis :p

The LAN adapter is out at Nintendo store, someone said.

I uninstalled the USB adapter to reinstall the latest software and the fucking thing gives me an internet sharing connection error now and I can't instally the software.

WHAT. THE. fuck

This is the same problem I had a few times. I know nintendowifi.com has instructions around this, but I sort of got bored at that point and just went and got a router to handle this sort of thing.

Other people have reported not getting this problem though, whereas I got it across two computers.

Ehh.

I'm sure I'll pick up a LAN adapter just for kicks when I can find one half price at GS one day.

Damn, Home Depot has a lot of jobs open at their main office...which I believe is downtown near my school. Off to work I guess :(


Have fun with your Wii Roufuss.

Apparently I've got a router conflict that I'm working on fixing =/

I can't even install the fucking thing now, internet connection sharing error.

I'm with ya bro. Probably the hottest girl from my school is going there. Hmmm wonder why? Although I go to one of those schools where the hot girls are all really smart. Meh. I'll PM ya.

That's what they want you to think. In actuality BU will accept just about anyone with money and alumni status.

That hurts. Esp. with a 1278 average SAT and 3.5 Average GPA. :p
But no, that's not true. I wasnt even talking about BU. I was talking about UGA.

EDIT: The girls part, I was talking about my high school. I'm not AT college yet :p
 
Now I know why GoW is so popular.

I've only just gotten past the part in (Ashes?) where you use that satellite gun the second time, but I've orgasmed at least seven times already. :oops:

Plus the image in my gamercard sux. Where does one go to get better ones?

press your guide button, click on your profile, edit profile, change gamerpic.
 
This is really fucking bullshit... the Wii connects to the USB adapter just fine to get an update, and THEN NEVER CONNECTS AGAIN!!!
 
[quote name='s1eepinglionhart'] The xbox sangwich probably has something to do with multiplayer...

Edit: Or not. But why even bother with an old Xbox if you have a 360? Aren't most of the games BC now?[/QUOTE]not really. But the reason we were playing xbox is because my friend would rather play that version of madden than the 360 one.
 
Ok, so I moved the dongle from the back of my computer to the top of my tower with the USB cable, and it works... can the answer really be that simple / stupid?

Grr. My 360 decided to stop connecting to the internet for some odd reason (fails to find an IP address). Google is useless. Anyone have any ideas?

Shut it off and turn it back on again.

Reseat the Ethernet cable or the wireless adapter.

Check your router to make sure you see it getting an IP address.

Pray.

This is what I do with the Wifi adapter that Nintendo put out.

Right now it's hanging off the side of my tower since that's the only way it gets reception to the Wii.

Its ghetto as hell but it works. I haven't even played a game on it yet :rofl:
 
Dammit that's retarded. I refuse to believe the best I can find online for my three textbooks for next semester is $250. I should not have to pay as much as a Wii on books for some classes.

[quote name='karsh']Dammit that's retarded. I refuse to believe the best I can find online for my three textbooks for next semester is $250.

Good thing I was able to omit one required books because some people said on ratemyprof. that it wasn't needed. So that saved me $100+. My accounting class books alone are going to cost me between $463.33-627.45.
 
The Wii's VC makes XBLA look like garbage by comparision... I can't even get excited over the announcement of Heavy Weapon.

Hm, do I get that, or some kick ass old school games (one which will hopefully be Streets of Rage?).

Easy easy decision, espically since they both cost the same $$$ wise.
 
[quote name='Brak']Lost Planet is pretty cool.[/quote] I'm debating picking that up, though damn, $50 or $60? :whistle2:s

This makes my inner CAG cry.
 
[quote name='Dr Mario Kart']buy those books used online, spend a day photocopying them and immediately sell them.[/quote]if i could do that at kinkos without anyone giving me shit then I'd do it all the time. I gotta pick up my book order on tuesday so Im going going to check if I can get cheap used ones online using is ISBN number and making sure its the correct one after I pick up my order.

There was one copy of the regular edition Lost Planet at my local Best Buy. I overheard five or six douchebags in the aisle over, A through F of the 360 games, vocally wondering where Lost Planet was.

I b-lined it right to the Ls, grabbed my copy - the last copy - and got the fuck out of there.

$50 after coupon ain't so bad.

After the initial week they come out, nobody plays the XBLA arcade games online anyways, unless it's like Uno... even then, people stopped playing that.

[quote name='Brak']Best change your XBL motto, foo'.[/QUOTE]

I changed it awhile ago... I stopped using XBLA for the most part after the Best Buy deal where I got a shit ton of points cards.

Since then, there has been nothing worth buying a new points card over.

The only games for me will be Worms, Alien Hominid, and Castle Crashers. Probably will get Ms Pac-Man since I have 400 spare points.
