Okay, so this morning, I was pwning my brother in brawl, and I was using a GC controller. I then moved my chair backward, accidentally pulling the Wii. It then took a 2 foot drop to a hardwood floor. It was still on, but it said "an error has occurred, check the manual. I turned it off, then back on, got to the menu, checked the virtual console games, then thought it was fine. When I put smash bros back in, it said it couldn't read it. I then tried multiple other games. Nope. I left it with my dad, gave him the manual, and told him to call Nintendo.
i broke mah baby... :(
The lesson? Always find a comfortable position for video game playing before you start playing when you are using a controller with a cord.
Ouch, man, that seriously sucks.
That's why I use my trusty WaveBird. You'd do well to get one, as well.
Well, I'd have to get 3. I will still have 3 regular GC controllers, If I get them. And I just ordered a new 4 pack of N64 controllers, too. D:
Man, that DOES suck! >_<
It helps to keep it close to the ground. Keeps net falling force to a minimum, yes.
I feel like Captain Obvious right now...
I always do keep it on the ground. But the one time I decide to bring it to my dad's with me, it falls and breaks.
That sucks. Happened to me and mine only messes up when I play brawl.
That just sounds like your Wii is having a hard time reading dual-layer discs. Nintendo will fix that for you. If I recall correctly, I think it was free, though you'd have to pay shipping.
For something that big? No way! It works half of the time.
It'd only cost maybe $5-10 at the most to ship it. If you want a perfectly-functioning Wii, it'd probably be worth the cost.
Just, please, please, please, please spend the extra money to get the Delivery Confirmation & Shipping Insurance from USPS. And ship FedEx if you can, but still get a sticker they can track + insurance for $270 so that if it gets lost, you can either track it down or get your money back if that is deemed fruitless.
And bubblewrap. Lots of bubblewrap.
ANYWAY. Post office warnings aside (I... work a lot with them, sending/shipping stuff and all that for one of a kind items), I'm pretty sure your best bet IS to ship it, Nintendo won't fix stuff if someone else tinkers with it.
Well, my dad said it is $70 for them to fix it. We have to ship it, and I don't know how much that'll cost. But they take it, and fix it, then give it back. He said we'll split the money, so I'm not that upset anymore.
...except for the fact that my mom borrowed my remaining $50 dollars from christmas, and I owe my little brother $35 dollars for animal crossing that we split. So... oh well.
$35 to repair it is certainly better than $250 to replace it. Plus you get to keep all your Virtual Console games and game saves! I'd say that's a pretty good deal.
Also, like I've mentioned, shipping will probably only cost about $10 if you ship it Priority Mail and get tracking. Insurance might bring the cost up a little more, but still, you're paying less than $50 to get the Wii back in working order, and as long as you're careful, it should last you a lifetime.
At least until you take a chainsaw to it.
Why would you go and do a foolish thing like that? I dislike the Wii, but I'm not about to destroy ours with a chainsaw.
HERESY!
I was going to say something else, but I forgot what it was I was going to say.
Maybe something along the lines of "TRAITOR!"
Why traitor? I just don't like the Wii. It was very disappointing to me, as a gamer.
But what about the Wonderful adventure game we are gathered here for?
"Twilight Princess" on the Wii was awesome. The Wii overall was a disappointment to me, but that's not to say it doesn't have any good games.
I understand you hating on most of the games but the wii itself owned. Also I won't be around alot much guise... I'mma losing mai net and I'll only be on when i visit mai gramma's so... I liek tordelz.
but i herd u liek mudkipz :'(
I think it's more the blame of the third party developers than the Wii itself...they won't look past the easy money and the gimmick.
I have Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn and Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World on my amazon wish list.
of course, I'll never be able to play either until I get my own wii. I just play my sister's (which I bought for her...)
Have you considered getting Brawl? :D
(If not, okay. No biggie.)
I've got no one to play with :\
Hmm... What kind of Internet connection do you have?
Pretty good one. Though I'm going back to college soon and the Wii is going to stay here at home.
I'm not really that interested in getting Brawl, honestly.
Not when I need to save money... and have been spending too much on everything...
Ah, okay. No harm, no foul. :)
Yes harm, yes foul.
Just by no one here.
Foul...FOWL! CHICKENS!
....
....
Anyway, I have been itching to battle someone with a good connection, like yourself, JQ, except that's not going to happen, I guess. Sigh. *Turns around, turns head back and winks*
Mah baby has made a full recovery! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
YAY!
Now you can watch me get killed by mags when we finally fight.
*another fitting laugh* (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI)
I clicked it knowing what it was! I have the page favorited. SO HA!
PICS, OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! XD
OKAY! I WILL!
I am having a celebratory Brawl/Animal Crossing/Mario Kart party to celebrate! Probably tomorrow though.
Okay...
Have a good time.
I am...

YOUR GRAMMAR....
No, wait, your grammar is fine. Never mind.
MY MOM IS A PASTOR!
Then She epic wins.
No really thats pretty kewl.
My mom volunteers for far too many things.
I volunteer helping Disabled kids in a therapedic horse riding program.
It's pretty kewl.
She's the only women pastor I know of! :) I love her for it!
The only problem is that you go caroling every December... :-[
Not as bad as dressing up for halloween on christmas and saying your the Present Pirate.
Not that I have... ::)
That sounds kinda sad.
I had a bad experience with caroling last month...Our group sounded horrible. An old man at one of the Nursing homes we went to died two days later. I felt horrible. One of the last things he heard was our horrible singing! :(

You want therapeutic, not therapedic.
And are you talking about EquiKids? My cousin's wife volunteered with that.
Yeah that. Sorry people. I'm not gonna fix it tho. :P
That's what makes it funny!
Your face is funny!

NOOOOOOOOOO I STILL HAVE TO FINISH IT!!!!!!!
.....Okay.....
I forgot what I changed my avi too. but now I remember!
You forgot? It's right there! Right next to your posts!!!
but you can't see it when you make a post. during the 2 seconds I forgot what it was.
Oh. Well, still. I'm out getting my hand replaced after you bit it off, brb.
I meant head.
That can be taken two ways... :-[ :o
You perv!
but yeah it can ;D
What can I say? I'm a pervy sage!
Meh... naruto jokes...
I dislike naruto.
Fillers can ruin an anime more than bad drawings.
You don't like Naruto? I MUST TEACH! I don't know how, though....

Please dont.
I dislike it because after about episode 150 it fillerizes.
I know.
I watched it for 3 days straight and got sick.
Okay, what is Fillerizing?
And secondly, you are such a critic. 8)
pointless extending of fight scenes
I like long fight scenes!
even 20 episode long ones? when they last only 2 chapters in the manga?
I think not. :-*
Well, I have to admit, that's 10 episodes too long...but...
That Hokage fight with Orochimaru.
Bleach is better but i still don't like it much.
This is a list of good anime
1 The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (the best evar)
2 Lucky star
3 Katekyo Hitman! Reborn
4 Pokemon (the first like 3 season.)
Pikachu- killer of bikes.
You don't like Fullmetal Alchemist? I must TEACH!
And I'm surprised you spelled Orochimaru right.
What are you implying? I cnat speel?
FMA okay. but there are better. such as number 1 on my list. nothing can beat it.
I like where you placed Haruhi, but what the Heck?!?!?! POKEMON?!?!?!?
I like pokemon... well at least the first few seasons. Misty is better than Haruka and (Insert dawns Japanese name here)
I believe her Japanese name is Hikari.
You believe correctly, HnS.
Quote from: linkdragon0 on January 23, 2009, 06:26:35 PMMisty is better than Haruka and (Insert dawns Japanese name here)
You do realize that I'm just going to kill you more painfully later for saying that, don't you? ;)
*Bowser laugh*
Save it for the match >:(
I plan to. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! >:D
Man, I sure have been maniacal lately... *wipes forehead*
And I plan on using my special newly developed crouching fox flying hylian moves on you!
Hopefully, they don't require too much precision; remember, my connection sucks. :-*
At least I can still DAC and Zair! :D
Are you kidding It involves three separate moves to ko you and they are different each time.I'm preforming them right now...
If it involves Fox's Dair followed by his Dsmash, I can try to use DI and Zair recovery to save myself. ;)
Oh, wait, that's two moves, isn't it? >_<;
You'll never guess it.... crap you guessed them... What I'm doing now and that is three you idiot myahahaha!
lala?
SHHH!
She knows nothing!
You told her your strategy, didn't you? :P
;)

She'll never spill. and I have a secret back up strategy too.

So what if i refer to her in Yakuza terms...

No she's my leader.
No I call her that cause she's pretty much running my movie and she likes it so I affectionately call her Aneki.
