The fact with the Wii is that it's basically a computer, a computer that you own and paid for. You should be allowed to run any programs you want on it; it's pretty ridiculous for Nintendo to try to limit which programs you can run. Really, the console should have come with something like the Homebrew Channel from the start, but even if Nintendo wasn't going to program that themselves (reasonable enough given that it isn't free to develop such a program), it's just ridiculous for them to try to break it once someone else does. It's like Nintendo thinks they are the ones who should have the say in what you do with your computer as opposed to the user.

You can use Homebrew to avoid installing updates and to play the games anyway, and I'd advise doing that instead of updating to the 3.4 system menu. Nintendo isn't even really adding useful features (why can't I control the system menu with a Gamecube controller still?); it seems like the bulk of the content of these updates is just limiting users.

Homebrew is one of the many ways to steal from Nintendo. Nintendo could really care less what you do with their stuff, but when you use THEIR stuff to steal THEIR stuff, I can easily imagine why it would not only tick them off but also fuel their desire to make unreasonable updates. And for crying outloud, they DO have something like Homebrew, aka Virtual Console? They're not dishing out emlulated stuffs as fast as they probably should, but again, it's THEIR stuffs. :)

This man knows the deal lol. blame hbc for their stupidity in allowing emulators to cause this to happen. regardless im not updating until i have to. infinite replay is too good.

I listened to most of the podcast I stopped a bit after when they did the random segment on the tier list. Props to Overswarm for being prepared and doing research beforehand.

ISJR is difficult to learn =[

Edit: I might not be at Andy's tomorrow, there's a possibility I will be playing Left 4 Dead on 360 all night instead.

Are you joking? It's not "THEIR stuff"; it's MY Wii. They have absolutely zero claim to my Wii; it is every bit as much of a personal computer to me as the laptop I'm typing this response on. Using emulators isn't really stealing at all, and the Virtual Console is absolutely nothing like the Homebrew Channel anyway. The Homebrew Channel is a channel that lets users run their own programs which might be emulators but might also be literally anything (for instance, it might be a free game written by a private individual, it might be a word processor, or it might be a program to "cheat" in games). The idea is that the Wii is a computer that you own, and you decide what you want to run on it. The whole concept that Nintendo should, in any way whatsoever, attempt to filter what you are able to do on your Wii because, after all, you paid $250 for it and own it completely.

It wouldn't even be so bad if they were adding legitimately useful features in their updates, but they tweak the ways you can mess around in the useless Mii channel a bit and then focus the bulk of their development on restricting what you can do making their "updates" downgrades. It's not like there's a shortage of features they could be focusing on either. For instance, why can I still not use a Gamecube controller on the system menu? Why does the Wii still not have an "auto boot game on console start" feature? Why isn't there a feature to disable safety screens? Wouldn't making things like an "NES" channel to include a list of NES virtual console games fix the problem some users were having of running out of channels on their Wii even if they had the memory to install all of those virtual console games? These are the sorts of things I expect in an update, and it would be a whole lot less offensive if they were trying to break homebrew alongside something legitimately useful like this stuff.

Not too positive on that aspect, but I'm not gonna argue it. Just saying is all. Besides, what if Nintendo had a Homebrew-ish channel in development? What-if situation yes, but there goes that idea since someone else made it free, you know?

Anyway, I'm also gonna take back what I said about Homebrew being a Virtual Console since my knowledge on Homebrew was that it was simply a niftier emulator to replace the VC. Since it does much more than that, then I'm not gonna say anything against it. :)

Nynja we were talking about the Crew Battles at Oh Snap, which we originally thought would only allow 5 of us to compete but we now know that we will have 10 participants instead. I was just listing off who we probably would have sent in with 5. As for riding, we're going to be fleshing it out all week. You should have no trouble getting a ride.

Edit: Le_thien is now my homie, sorry Brandon. :p

I'd be interested in that too. I'd like to not get three stocked on my own counterpick next time.

I can't wait to play today! I've been trying to increase my grenade game considering how well it threw a few people off last weekend. Also, I watched the videos of me and Domo with a fine eye and came to some realizations. Hopefully they will lead me closer to victory.

Nynja, that's pretty good placing considering how few of the bi-weeklies you've actually been to haha. And why do you have to pick on poor Snake? Look how high the MKs are! We should be working together to take them down!

Some time ago, Josh offered to drive me to Oh Snap because he plans on leaving on the same night just like I was so I will be traveling to this tournament with him. My cousins will not be attending.
