New Look

So I finally upgraded to the newest version of Wordpress. While at it I decided to try a new theme as well. What do you think? I need to go through and mess with the code a bit… I don’t really like all the Biohazard stuff that pops up. Maybe I’ll replace it with puppies… mutant puppies…

Cheers,

Picasa plugin

Hi again. I am just testing this plugin that I finally installed that allows me to add Picasa web albums to my blog…

Some may think it’s poetic…

Gotta admit, that’s a deep mousepad.

Modding the Wii

Living in two countries is difficult, and Sony and the other video game system creators aren’t helping.

I hate region coding on games with a passion. Sure I can understand that in some parts of the world (aka. Australia), video games may fetch a higher price.  But hey, for countries with similar marketplaces, why create walls?

I own a Nintendo Wii and a Sony PS3. The Wii was purchased on a very cold night a couple weeks before Christmas. Or rather, it was purchased after waiting an entire night in line at Best Buy in 10+ inches of snow! Brrrr….

On the other hand, I bought my PS3 here in Japan. Now while the PS3 claims to be region free for PS3 games, I have yet to see a game come out that I really want so we’ll table that.

But with the Wii, all I can do is sit and drool and Metroid Prime, Super Paper Mario and the multiple other games that I want to play… all because our dear friends at Nintendo decided that no one in the US would want to play a Japanese game on their Wii.

Haha though! Thanks to the wondrous  open source community, there is an open-source modchip out there along with thousands of pieces of code that will allow me to bypass these walls built be greedy and dream-crushing executives. Oh yes, I will play Metroid Prime. I have the money in my wallet right now and am just itching to go and get my copy. :-)
