TAKE THAT!!!


I finally beat it! Minesweeper on expert! The curse has been lifted!!! :D

My current times:
Beginner - 13s
Intermediate - 91s
Expert - 398s

I've started up Metroid Prime again. I beat the first boss and got the Varia Suit. Not sure on the percentage right now, but I've scanned everything so far as far as I know.

I also completed one more challenge on Brawl. Still didn't get the actual number left tho...

There were a bunch of new demos last time I got on the Nintendo Channel, but they expired yesterday and I didn't get to play any of them (I downloaded one, but on my brother's DS and he took it back before I could). I need to see if there's anything good this time...

I also played an RTS on GameTap, but I'm not in the mood for RTSs right now...I may come back some other time, but while it's awesome, it's not the "SUPERAMAZING" type of game that an RTS has to be to get my attention...ah well. Also am playing Mr. Robot on GameTap, but don't know my progress and I'm not actively playing it.

EDIT: My Beginner and Intermediate times are now 9 and 81 seconds, respectively.

Nintendo Channel

Nintendo released its the Nintendo Channel on the Wii yesterday! It has all sorts of stuff that I don't care to elaborate on, but the most important thing is the ability to download DS demos! This is what I've been waiting for for a long time, as far as channels go. So far I've downloaded the Jam Sessions and Brain Age 2 demos (and I previously downloaded the Flash Focus demo, so I'll be skipping that one). Jam Sessions is actually pretty neat. The limited chords were cruel, but it was still fun to just...."jam" I guess...I hear that the price has dropped to $19.99, so it's actually considerable for purchase...I doubt I will though. I have enough games on that sidebar. :P Brain Age 2 looks like a pretty nice update to the first one, but I won't be buying it unless someone else in the family is interested in it (Mom and Dad have expressed interest in them a couple times, but since I have the DS with me or somewhere in my room most of the time, they can't exactly play a lot...).

Suddenly remembered - I never beat Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. That makes me sad. :(

Well, hopefully they'll update the demos pretty regularly (especially hopefully with some that aren't out yet...). I need to watch some videos...if anything in particular catched my eye, I'll post about it, but don't count on it.

Oh, and a quick note - I've added the Twitter widget to the side (I wanted to add it to the bottom, but I don't know how...). I don't know if I'll keep it up, but it's there for now.
