<0> hello
<0> 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?
<1> nah
<1> it saves games on the consoles flash memory
<0> so what's the memory stick for?
<1> you can expand the inbuilt memory with a memory stick
<0> just for more game saves?
<1> yea
<0> ah
<0> so not really a necessity
<0> great, I'll give it to him as is
<0> I do think I should get him a second controller though
<1> yea you wont need a memory card at the moment
<1> controllers are mighty expensive though
<0> oh yeah?
<0> are they even in stock at places? I had a hell of a time finding him the system
<0> it's kind of a funny story. He's in 4th grade and damn near retarded.
<0> I told him if he got B's or higher on his report card, I'd give him a Wii
<0> wouldn't you know it... he did, for the first time in his life.
<0> he's a moron when it comes to school... very clever when a wii is involved.
<0> I told him they don't have them anywhere for me to buy them. His response, "They have them on Ebay." Right........
<1> haha
<1> He's pretty lucky
<1> I'd never buy my newphew anything like that
<0> his parents can't afford anything... I feel sorry for him
<0> we live in Naples, FL and a lot of his friends have very wealthy families...
<0> so it's cool... he has something that they don't now
<0> is this the spare controller?

<1> that's actually a game where you get a controller free
<0> oh
<0> looks cool... I used to play Duck hunt when I was a kid
<1> It's actually nothing like duck hunt to be honest
<0> heh
<0> that's too bad
<1> how old are you chris?
<0> 28
<2> 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
<2> and before someone says something, yes i realize there's not much to see off the edge of the 4x3 safe zone
<2> but the picture is there -- why cover it up with the sidebars?
<2> there is such a thing as 16x9 that isn't HD... fox did it for years and called it "FOX Widescreen"
<3> yeah
<3> apparently the first season of arrested development was in fox widescreen
<3> then the rest are in hd
<2> yeah the australian open semifinals are starting right now
<2> it COULD be in "ESPN Widescreen" but it's in standard 4x3 instead
<3> i think most people can live without HD if its widescreen
<2> i understand why ESPN wouldn't want people to get confused and think it's just "bad HD" or something
<3> most people buy hdtv's not for the HD but for the widescreen and thinness
<2> but nothing makes me more sad than seeing people stretch 4x3 content on a 16x9 screen
<2> people don't seem to understand that aspect ratio and picture quality are two separate issues
<3> yeah
<2> stretching a picture destroys both. heh
<3> exactly
<2> if television studios aren't willing to make the full jump to HD, at least do widescreen
<1> I never saw the point in widescreen in the first place
<2> visor, do you also like the "full screen" version of DVDs? heh
<1> Well I cant watch any non-widescreen source on my widescreen tv
<1> but really what was the point in it?
<1> It made my tv wider
<1> but then im missing some height?
<1> where's highscreen?
<2> well, there's a lot of reasons why there's no "high screen"
<3> ps3 has hdmi out wii doesn't..
<3> xbox doesnt either
<1> widescreen has been one of the most pointless upgrades in my opinion
<2> most of the reasons have to do with the layout of the human eyes on the human face
<2> if our eyes were laid on top of each other, you might have a point
<3> you cant watch non-widescreen sources on your widescreen tv?
<3> that doesn't make sense
<3> it should auto-adjust for the best aspect ratio
<1> i can matr1x
<1> But it's not pretty
<2> 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
<3> its like a dvd player that uses letterbox on a standard tv
<2> with 16x9, they can stand at normal distances
<4> hi
<5> with pictures of seagulls :|
<4> :P
<6> anyone know where to find gameboy advance roms?
<7> anyone here played 'Elebits'?
<5> yeah
<5> apparently it's hard to get into, but eventually it's intense
<7> thinking of getting it for my kids.
<7> seems like something 'completely differnet'
<8> MrBtrieve, it sounds boring though =)
<8> reading more, it sounds like warioware the way you use the controller in different ways
<7> tome, Wario Ware sounds boring as hell
<8> open doors by twisting the knob, push pull
<8> im just saying the way you use the controller they seem similar
<7> maybe
<8> MrBtrieve, how old are your kids
<7> 6 & 8
<8> well, this game will make you use your brain possibly since wattage is involved
<8> have to reach a certain amount
<7> and its not just run around and kill things.
<7> ;)
<8> although those games are fun :o
<7> yeah, and they have a bunch of GC games like that.
<7> so i'm looking for a different game for when i give them their Wii
<8> yeah, i really liked the way wii sports works with the controller
<8> perfect for sports games
<1> huh?
<1> Elebits looks crap
<8> Visor, you hate the wii period =)
<1> Maybes I do
<1> Im in a big denial over it
<1> I love Nintendo!
<8> the game is for kids, so they will probably like it
<8> and it uses the wii controller in different ways
<9> http://bash.org/?721692
<8> so fake
<9> your mom is
<8> and your topic was bad as well
<9> better?
<8> yeah
<9> k, good
<9> now dont charge me from behind
<8> i would say you have a case of the mondays, but it is not monday
