  • I normally am a huge supporter of Nintendo and USUALLY defend their choices, but one thing I am REALLY PISSED about is the inability of the 3DS family to connect to public WiFi.  Like, there's not even a good reason behind this decision.  For those of us who live where the only internet available is through prohibitively expensive satellite internet, being able to go to Starbucks or a public library to game with other people is one of our only options.  BUT, if the network requires browser validation to connect, we're cut off.  I actually talked to someone from Nintendo's customer service, and they were not only entirely unhelpful, they were actually rude.  Get your shit together, Nintendo.

    I don't even remember the name the guy gave me, I was so pissed off.  I explained my problem to him, and his only answer was basically, "idk, get internet at home."  When I pushed him on why I couldn't get online, he said, "I don't have an answer for you."  Like, WHY THE F*** DO YOU EXIST, THEN?  WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE HERE?

    Re: voice chat. Just have the option to turn it off via parental controls. Problem solved. Not that it ever was one, but I guess personal responsibility is still a foreign concept to some people. It honestly disgusts me that it's viewed as such an "issue" by your average consumer because so many people would rather blame the entirety of a company rather than actually, you know, be a parent. Depriving others of options for your own convenience is lazy.


    All of my experiences with Nintendo's customer service has been great as well. Never really heard of anyone having a bad time with them, but I know as with any company there are bound to be some bad eggs that slip through the cracks. That aside, I'm doubtful they even could have been helpful to your issue anyway. It's just how Nintendo designed the 3DS's online. No way around it. Here's to hoping they've learned from it and improved - Wii U was a step forward but still had issues.

    I would have been unhappy, but at least satisfied if it seemed like the customer service guy had made some kind of effort to help or even explain why he couldn't.  When all he says is literally, "I have no answers for you," THAT burns me up. 


    And yeah, parental controls, attentive parenting, and just common decency seem to alien ideas to a lot of people.  I actually work in electronics retail, and it's bizarre how few shits parents seem to give over what their kids are doing.  I have sold WAY too  many copies of GTA to parents buying for their single-digit-age children, and the fact that we have to CARD you to buy the game doesn't seem to faze them. 
    Does ANYONE know how to get a 3DS to connect to wifi????  I've followed all the steps as directed, and it absolutely refuses!!  HELP!!!

    Boy, don't you love Nintendo support? They are just so helpful!


    Yeah. Let's just say. They don't help at all.


    But yeah, it is global.

    It's really not just you, if you have wi-fi at home, or any open wi-if at like, a store, or something, use it to try and do what you need, or claim an event or whatever. Sorry dude, but, I guess that's just how it is.

    Live bravely, love fiercely, don't let your light go out.  Cling to others, let them cling to you.  And always, ALWAYS hope.
    Sing to me of hope and kindness,


    Of peace and joy and love, 


    Of the gentle earth beneath my feet, 


    And heaven up above.  


    Sing to me of family,


    And dear friends at my side, 


    Of open arms and open hearts,


     Accepting all inside.  


    Sing to me of dancing stars, 


    And a moon so full and bright.


    When darkness falls and darkness crawls, 


    Help me believe in light.  


    I am so small and fragile.  


    I can't carry much for long.  


    But with care, I know I can bear


    The weight of such a song.
    Had a crazy dream the other night:  my family and I had to use our magical powers to stop a supervillain syndicate led by the Kardashians.

    At first, we thought the Big Bad was Kris, since she was the one creating the thought-activated explosive crystals, but Kim turned out to be the real power behind the throne.  I had just morphed into giant water elemental tiger form to carry my cousin and grandma to the enemy stronghold when I woke up.

    I've never played it, but I've watched Natewantstobattle and BrettUltimus do a pacifist playthrough, and it looks good.  


    (And my cousin and grandma used Earth and Metal magic, respectively.  Mom and dad used Fire and Air.)
    Why do Halloween costumes for grown-ups always suck?

    They don't, stay away from the frat boy or sexy girl constumes.  ;) Couple years ago I was a wolf in sheeps clothing. Made it myself :)  Used grey hoodie shirt, sweatpants, a white wolly vest and I had a pair of grey furry ears. Got all at a thrift store for probably around fifteen bucks. It was great.


    This year, cause it's you know the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown's 50th B-Day, I'm going as a Charlie Brown ghost. Including all the eye holes which I'm going to paint black circles for the eyes. Going to use a cheep white sheet to do it :)


    And next year I'm going as Cookie Monster :)  I got a blue beanie hat that has Cookie's eyes on it and I have blue sweatpans and sweater xD  It should be fun. 
    Whatcha gonna do with all that junk? All that junk inside that trunk?


    I'm separating things and taking them to the recycling center.
