It's time to call Nintendo.. :(
Quite a few people on the Nintendo forums have received this error after doing the initial firmware upgrade. After that upgrade everyone that encountered that error was unable to connect via WiFi. The people that called Nintendo said, it's a fatal error. Apparently this upgrade rendered the WiFi on quite a few systems dead. Basically a failed firmware upgrade I guess... Other than the WiFi problem it works fine though. Gonna try to call Nintendo tomorrow, tried tonight and the wait time was too long. Don't have the time right now to deal with it.

For those of you who didn't take to UD or did but want more, I present Nexus War: http://www.nexuswar.com
You can have up to 3 characters per account!
You gain Action Points (AP) 1/15 minutes, so you can act twice as often (though you are capped at 50 so you should have at least 2 turns per day)
Play Good or Evil (angels/demons/unaligned) instead of Zombies & Survivors.
More info in reply, but tldr version: Come have fun with us!

Gameplay is great, but man am I spoiled from playing Gears in thinking that the graphics sucked? I mean, the character models especially look really, really poor.

For those of you having problems connecting to the net through your console, or having slow downloads, etc, try changing your router's Wifi Channel to 1 or 11. I normally have it on one of those as they have no overlap, but we just got a new Belkin Draft N1 router the other week and I forgot to change it from 6. Changing it to 1 made my Wii download a LOT faster, and it never complains about having trouble connecting. YMMV, but Nintendo has posted this up on their site too, so it appears to be helping

I'm on the mission for Pandora's Box and I just raised the big boulder-holding statue guy so that he's holding the big huge rock over his head, but the lever at the top of the stage that shoots the boulder and destroys the door doesn't work. What's up? Do I need to, you know, like, replay the whole game over again?

Man, I gotta rethink international shipping next year.
USPS :
Express : $36 - one weekish (I chose this)
Priority : $56 - 3-5 days
Slow boat and possibly found washed up on a beach : $26 - 4-6 weeks
It's worth it though. I'm glad I got someone in a foreign land. They'll appreciate my junk more :P
(I'm not going to say where it was shipped to... except that it was in Europe)

I was at my parents this weekend and Dew was showing me his Xbox 360 that he just got. He was playing some Gears of War. Anyways he had the system sitting on his desk vertically and I asked him if he was worried about it scratching the discs since I heard so much about that on the net. He said no. Anyways a minute later I wanted to see how heavy it was.. as soon as I picked it up there was this horrible grinding sound and his game crashed with an "Unreadable disc" error. Farking doh. I owe him a new copy.

Let me preface this by saying, I love my wife. She is the perfect song on repeat, and it never gets tiring.
Having said that ...
at times her OCD and propensity to become crazy stressed about things can become ... "tiresome."
Case in Point: A few weeks ago (saturday the 11th) we bought a car. I say we, but really it was her car that we bought. Even though she has flawless credit, she still got raped by the first time buyer factor and so the finance was at 7.9. We put down 4 grand, and our payments were less than $500 a month (but not by much). She was happy. Nervous, but happy.
Now, I get a rabid phone call on the way home that she wants to get rid of the car. Yikes!
I figure, holidays ... stress ... we're flying to Massachusets tomorrow for a what is going to be probably a somewhat unpleasant Thanksgiving experience ... time of the month}]- ... and general "holy fuck we're all going to die" neuroticism. I try and calm her down but she's rather determined. We're dumping that fucker.
I've never had experience with real notes. The first car I owned, I paid off before I sold it ('97 Jeep Cherokee) and my current little grandma car I pretty much bought outright from a note lot.
So, prepare me ... how badly am I going to get raped on this?
note: just to avoid unneeded debate, we can afford the payment eveyr month. Granted, we can't go drop $150 every week on Sushi dinners and might have to take my lunch on a regular basis but it's not like we'd be having to cancel the internets or switch to that really cheap toilet paper that feels like rubbing cheesecloth on one's ass.

Okay, we just switched to Verizon FiOS and we're using their Actiontec MI-424-WR wireless router. However, I'm also still using my Netgear MR814v2 wireless router because the Actiontec's wireless signal isn't very strong. The Actiontec has one cable that goes to the Netgear and then all the computers are plugged into the Netgear. I need to have the Netgear router just act as a switch because having two routers is causing the biggest headaches for me trying to play games. I don't know much about this crap, does anyone know how I can get my Netgear router to just act as a middleman between my Actiontec router and my computer?
