<ChrisF-> hello
<ChrisF-> just bought my nephew a wii. But do I need to go back out and buy him a memory card so he can save games?
<Visor> nah
<Visor> it saves games on the consoles flash memory
<ChrisF-> so what's the memory stick for?
<Visor> you can expand the inbuilt memory with a memory stick
<ChrisF-> just for more game saves?
<Visor> yea
<ChrisF-> ah
<ChrisF-> so not really a necessity
<ChrisF-> great, I'll give it to him as is
<ChrisF-> I do think I should get him a second controller though
<Visor> yea you wont need a memory card at the moment
<Visor> controllers are mighty expensive though
<ChrisF-> oh yeah?
<ChrisF-> are they even in stock at places? I had a hell of a time finding him the system
<ChrisF-> it's kind of a funny story. He's in 4th grade and damn near retarded.
<ChrisF-> I told him if he got B's or higher on his report card, I'd give him a Wii
<ChrisF-> wouldn't you know it... he did, for the first time in his life.
<ChrisF-> he's a moron when it comes to school... very clever when a wii is involved.
<ChrisF-> I told him they don't have them anywhere for me to buy them. His response, "They have them on Ebay." Right........
<Visor> haha
<Visor> He's pretty lucky
<Visor> I'd never buy my newphew anything like that
<ChrisF-> his parents can't afford anything... I feel sorry for him
<ChrisF-> we live in Naples, FL and a lot of his friends have very wealthy families...
<ChrisF-> so it's cool... he has something that they don't now
<ChrisF-> is this the spare controller?
<ChrisF-> http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Wii-Play-with-Wii-Remote/sem/rpsm/oid/168833/catOid/-16761/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
<Visor> that's actually a game where you get a controller free
<ChrisF-> oh
<ChrisF-> looks cool... I used to play Duck hunt when I was a kid
<Visor> It's actually nothing like duck hunt to be honest
<ChrisF-> heh
<ChrisF-> that's too bad
<Visor> how old are you chris?
<ChrisF-> 28
<KingKurly> bah, ESPN2HD ****s. they show all the promos for the australian open in 16x9 SD, but then center cut the broadcast when they show it live
<KingKurly> and before someone says something, yes i realize there's not much to see off the edge of the 4x3 safe zone
<KingKurly> but the picture is there -- why cover it up with the sidebars?
<KingKurly> there is such a thing as 16x9 that isn't HD... fox did it for years and called it "FOX Widescreen"
<matr1x> yeah
<matr1x> apparently the first season of arrested development was in fox widescreen
<matr1x> then the rest are in hd
<KingKurly> yeah the australian open semifinals are starting right now
<KingKurly> it COULD be in "ESPN Widescreen" but it's in standard 4x3 instead
<matr1x> i think most people can live without HD if its widescreen
<KingKurly> i understand why ESPN wouldn't want people to get confused and think it's just "bad HD" or something
<matr1x> most people buy hdtv's not for the HD but for the widescreen and thinness
<KingKurly> but nothing makes me more sad than seeing people stretch 4x3 content on a 16x9 screen
<KingKurly> people don't seem to understand that aspect ratio and picture quality are two separate issues
<matr1x> yeah
<KingKurly> stretching a picture destroys both. heh
<matr1x> exactly
<KingKurly> if television studios aren't willing to make the full jump to HD, at least do widescreen
<Visor> I never saw the point in widescreen in the first place
<KingKurly> visor, do you also like the "full screen" version of DVDs? heh
<Visor> Well I cant watch any non-widescreen source on my widescreen tv
<Visor> but really what was the point in it?
<Visor> It made my tv wider
<Visor> but then im missing some height?
<Visor> where's highscreen?
<KingKurly> well, there's a lot of reasons why there's no "high screen"
<matr1x> ps3 has hdmi out wii doesn't..
<matr1x> xbox doesnt either
<Visor> widescreen has been one of the most pointless upgrades in my opinion
<KingKurly> most of the reasons have to do with the layout of the human eyes on the human face
<KingKurly> if our eyes were laid on top of each other, you might have a point
<matr1x> you cant watch non-widescreen sources on your widescreen tv?
<matr1x> that doesn't make sense
<matr1x> it should auto-adjust for the best aspect ratio
<Visor> i can matr1x
<Visor> But it's not pretty
<KingKurly> in order to frame a shot with two people talking to each other in 4x3, they have to be standing rather close to each other
<matr1x> its like a dvd player that uses letterbox on a standard tv
<KingKurly> with 16x9, they can stand at normal distances
<bmw`> hi
<kenners> with pictures of seagulls :|
<bmw`> :P
<elektriks> anyone know where to find gameboy advance roms?
<MrBtrieve> anyone here played 'Elebits'?
<kenners> yeah
<kenners> apparently it's hard to get into, but eventually it's intense
<MrBtrieve> thinking of getting it for my kids.
<MrBtrieve> seems like something 'completely differnet'
<Co-Op> MrBtrieve, it sounds boring though =)
<Co-Op> reading more, it sounds like warioware the way you use the controller in different ways
<MrBtrieve> tome, Wario Ware sounds boring as hell
<Co-Op> open doors by twisting the knob, push pull
<Co-Op> im just saying the way you use the controller they seem similar
<MrBtrieve> maybe
<Co-Op> MrBtrieve, how old are your kids
<MrBtrieve> 6 & 8
<Co-Op> well, this game will make you use your brain possibly since wattage is involved
<Co-Op> have to reach a certain amount
<MrBtrieve> and its not just run around and kill things.
<MrBtrieve> ;)
<Co-Op> although those games are fun :o
<MrBtrieve> yeah, and they have a bunch of GC games like that.
<MrBtrieve> so i'm looking for a different game for when i give them their Wii
<Co-Op> yeah, i really liked the way wii sports works with the controller
<Co-Op> perfect for sports games
<Visor> huh?
<Visor> Elebits looks crap
<Co-Op> Visor, you hate the wii period =)
<Visor> Maybes I do
<Visor> Im in a big denial over it
<Visor> I love Nintendo!
<Co-Op> the game is for kids, so they will probably like it
<Co-Op> and it uses the wii controller in different ways
<darkrazor> http://bash.org/?721692
<Co-Op> so fake
<darkrazor> your mom is
<Co-Op> and your topic was bad as well
<darkrazor> better?
<Co-Op> yeah
<darkrazor> k, good
<darkrazor> now dont charge me from behind
<Co-Op> i would say you have a case of the mondays, but it is not monday
