I got an external hard drive for Christmas that I intended to use for backing up and running Wii games, but now that I'm finding that it's not just a simple homebrew app and requires installing new IOSes, I'm not so certain that I want to go through with it. Installing the Homebrew Channel is as far as I ever really wanted to go with Wii homebrew, and I don't really want to install BootMii or Preloader.
On the other hand, I've had to send my Wii back for repairs once before because the disc drive wore out and started making an awful noise (though it wasn't hurting anything other than that), and I'd really like to not have to send it back again, now that it's had homebrew installed on it (not to mention that I don't want to lose my save files again. Sure, I'd be smart enough to back them up first this time, but some of them, like Brawl, can't be copied and would definitely be lost). Being able to save wear and tear on the disc drive would be very nice.
What's been eating up my time since Christmas eve? GOLDEN SUN: DARK DAWN. It hasn't let down the expectations that have built since I finished Golden Sun: Lost Age seven years ago. The puzzles are clever, the new psynergy fun to use and the characters quirky and memorable as they've always been. The new 3d style works suprisingly well and the soundtrack is awesomely epic as ever. My one complaint is the new encyclopedia system is a bit annoying, since a lot of entries are one time only ones and my DS screen is a bit less sensitive than it was the day I bought it given how much time I spend on it. Still, I'm nine hours in and a very very happy fan.
Also, my sister got me the strategy guide, which I'm pleased with. I normally distain strategy guides but finding Djinn is something of a irritant if you don't know where to look for the ones on the overworld. The guide at least keeps me off gameFAQs and in the experience more.
Fuck you, TIME magazine, fuck you and your sensationalist animation reporting. Fuck you for calling the only critical action that makes ANY sense this year "piquant" or "perverse". Fuck you for calling Toy Story 3 some unassailable standard. Fuck you for calling the very eact of EXPRESSING the idea that The Illusionist is of greater worth than Toy Story is some pointlessly antagonistic action. Fuck you for downplaying the best animated film of the year for another CGI sequel.
People who know and use the word "piquant" should NOT treat Toy Story this way. That is the prerogative of children, of internet manchildren, of middle-class suburban parents.

Yes. The Illusionist being called the best animated film of the year is the only action by critics this year that makes any sense, and he calls this piquant at best. This is horrible, because The Illusionist is, if not OBVIOUSLY the far better film, at least allowed to contend without it being called shenanigans. Nobody, a TIME writer least of all, should not be calling shenanigans on a selection that is GOOD, or at least PERFECTLY VALID.
It's not even disliking Toy Story 3 being called the best animated film or the best film overall. I disagree with that pretty strongly, but sure whatever, Pixar has some technical chops.
It's the kind of rampant manchild fanboyism that TIME is exhibiting here, "You picked The Illusionist? Fuck you, Toy Story is the obvious choice and you're being needlessly antagonistic by picking anything but Toy Story." It's the idea that The Illusionist isn't even seen as a VALID CHOICE(because it's NOT TOY STORY) that pisses me off.
Merry Christmas! Happy Kwanza! And Festivus for the rest o us!
And, Dashing, bought you a birthday gift while I was at Tokyo Disney... if you want it I'll ship on Monday. It's small, but I'll pay for the shipping. If you want it, though, I'm going to need to know where to send it TO.
And I'll send out Comrade's gift then, too. My treat. just send me the address in a PM or else NO SWEETS FOR YOU.
Reposting so you guys see it. I can still send it tomorrow (Tuesday for me), but after that, I'll be on vacation in Nara until the 6th.
You know, if it will arrive before the end of january, you send it to me, I can send it along to both dashing and comrade (with added trinkets and stuff). They both seem rather reclusive about their addresses being in the public space.

Sounds fine by me. I'll stick in something for you too. Just PM me your address.
Thank you kindly! I gots all the bitches wishing me a happy birthday
I don't think i'll be doing much today, i've a hangover from last night which was maybe the most cursed boxing night in the history of cursed boxing nights that happened to me this year
So I recieved two CD's today. The first person to point out the link between them doesn't have to listen to them
Easy. The first one features the ONE TRUE HOST of the Crystal Maze, the other features a FALSE PROPHET. And both of them played Riff Raff in Rocky Horror, but one of them also wrote the show and is awesome.
...I LIKED Absolute O'Brien...
And I probably shouldn't post when I'm off my face on mead, so I'm going back to abusing the competitors in Come Dine With Me. YOU CAN'T VOTE HIM THAT LOW YOU BITCH I HOPE YOU FAIL AT EVERYTHING.
I remember Richard and mumsy riding off on a motorbike when Tudor took over. It was truly a sad day
Also, Ahmir wwas the most fantastic Come Dine With Me contestant ever "Tehehehehehhehehe. LIES!"
Crystal Maze without Richard O'Brien just wasn't the same. LEARN TO HARMONICA ED.
We're watching one of the Glasgow editions of Come Dine With Me, and one of the competitors gave one of the others a score of 1 (when all the other scores were 8 and 9) because they felt the night went "too well", leading me to screech "Aye, an' if ah ever see ye in the street after this, I'll kick yer f**king heid in with ma steelies on!" because I get far too involved in this show, especially when I'm drunk. (and I sound more Glaswegian to boot)
...AYE, YA BETTER CHANGE YER VOTE YA BOOT. I love this show...
My CD drive is busted, which means I can't install any of my games that aren't Telltale/Steam games right now. I was just about to put The Sims 3 on the External Hardrive, it spit that out, so I've tested multiple CD's, even a brand new CD which was just music got spit out. This svcks.

The narrator of Come Dine With Me's the worst offender though, that smug fuck. We should all go round to his house for din dins someday and see how cool he is under the pressure.

I missread as spitting and was confused as hell:P
I misread it as sprinting.

I LIKED MADIGASCAR 2 SO FUNNY

I told that b*tch it was my birthday. B*tches love birthdays.
Allright, not 2010 new car, but at least newer than the one I owns now. It´s far from new.
Fun song. All kinds of music to enjoy in this world, it fits its genre.
