OK, just finished the show, and I am scared to see what the show will be like with just Chad…Wow, could be interesting. Can anyone say Train-wreck. Just kidding Chad.
Wil said this on April 14th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Yeah who knows what a totally unleashed Chad will do…. And I agree Mario 2= Less than awesome. Also Mike didn’t win that tally challenge, Chad gave him 2 answers he shouldn’t have (Eric too, Zander= Sander Cohen…uhhhhh). And I knew all 3 of my questions. Ah well….

Yeah … but you weren’t there to argue … so I guess it’s faith

I still think that Derek gets a tally from me!! And my lovely wife (who did the “acheivement unlocked”) I don’t care if he wins, he has done something to stand out and make me take notice of him. Although the comment in episode 28 from Chad about nailing 5 guys was almost pulled from the show. Tally for Chad too!!!
Wil said this on April 15th, 2008 at 7:38 am
Awesome, I’ll take a tally.
And that link is the biggest Angry Videogame Nerd ripoff in the world. He even takes a dump in the middle of his review. I didn’t watch it the entire way through because it was so boring and done before, but he didn’t mention that the actual game was made from Doki Doki Panic, so he’s a n00b and I’m an internet troll.
Deal with it.
Sorry about nailing 5 guys by the way. Probably not on purpose.

I didn’t realize that it was a rip off. The bathroom thing was simply to show how slow the Star is coming up when you get the 5 cherries, which always annoyed me.
And Chad, it’s good to know that you don’t nail 5 guys on purpose. But I am still worried about you, and Yuko should be too. hahaha
Wil said this on April 15th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Actually Chad, I agree with you that it was a total rip-off … but he did do like a 3 minute Doki Doki Panic at the end where he showed that the game was completely the same. But if you shut it off before that point … I can see how you would waste that sentence.

So, does anyone see any DLC for Brawl?
Wil said this on April 16th, 2008 at 11:36 am
I think, sadly, there won’t be any DLC for any WII game. Except, at some point you are supposed to be able create Stages, submit them to Nintendo, and they chose 1 a week to d/l. But I think even then you can only access it for 1 week.
Derek said this on April 16th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Yeah, it doesn’t seem like the Wii is going to have a whole lot going for it in the way of DLC. Maybe Wii-Ware will change things, but I doubt it.
And yep, I would have watched the rest of that SMB2 review had it have been at least mildly entertaining. And then I would have seen the Doki Doki Panic part and gave him some kind of credit.

Does anyone know what all the Wii-ware will entail. I have heard very little about it. Is it like XBox Live, or is it apps for the Wii, like the browser that they sell for 500 points? Also, I found that using that you can stream to your Wii, video from your PC…really cool story.
Here’s the link for it: http://www.cnettv.com/9742-1_53-31392.html

From what I’ve seen so far, Wii-Ware is just something like their current Virtual Console, but they’ll have new or updated games.
I don’t think DLC or anything like that will be coming, but either way, original and new games are actually something that people have been waiting for on the Wii, and with the release of Dr. Mario and Virus Buster (in Japan at least), it’s very promising. You’ll have to trust me on this one. The only catch so far is that the game cost me $10, which seemed a bit steep when you compare it to the other VC games.
That video was really cool Wil. I’m certainly thinking about giving it a shot. I need to get the internet browser though, and that stinks. But for $5 if I could get my videos working on my TV through the Wii, that would be great. The XBox seems to have an issue with my PC, and that pisses me off. Odd to think that the Wii would top the 360 in that department.

I just thought that it would be really cool to have more characters added to a game like Brawl…say Mega Man for instance. If they added other characters, who would you want to add?
I wonder when we are going to get Wii-Ware here…or is it already here? What is the appeal of Dr. Mario, I played it for the Nintendo, and I hated it. I kinda think I didn’t really understand it. Anyway, there is something else for Chad to talk about in his marathon Good Word.
Hey Eric, Congrats bro. Married life is the best thing that ever happened to me, that and the birth of my 3 beautiful girls. Good luck with you and your new bride. Hey Chad, when are you getting married?
