  1. I haven't got my side of the Wii to work; still under maintenance though I am reading (on other sites) that people are trying to see if it'll work with other regions. That be interesting to see how that'll plan out.

  2. My Wii internet hasn't worked since Check Mii Out Channel released, which I still haven't been able to download.

    I want my Pokemon Snap, Dammit!

  3. Dustin, send him a photo with any "facepalm" so he can use it for his new photo channel icon. 😀

  4. I gifted Paper Mario to my nephew for his birthday last night. The downside is the recipient also has to to do a system update before they can get the game. So I ended up having to go over there and help him get it straightened out.

    Then he said Paper Mario was "boring". Alas.
