Algus Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Was kind of disappointed. I finally opened my Legend of Zelda 3DS XL today and thanks to the outages I wasn't able to redeem my code for Link Between Worlds. So it was back to The Old Republic for me. Ahh well, I gotta send in my old 3DS anyway before I can transfer it to my new one so I guess I just need more patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilnick Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Was still down this afternoon. My daughter got the Wii U Fit pedometer for Xmas and couldn't download the game. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 At least my netflix for dr who episodes on my red mario wii works.. Nintendo is maybe trying to be more next gen with network problems and whatnot. The most rock solid systems were always Nintendo. I hope the system gets up and running soon..

Keatah Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Throughout the baddest blizzard, the most intense thunderstorm, sub-zero Antarctic super temperatures on an overflight at the bottom of the world.. we keep gaming, not on a wii, but a VCS! So much for cloud services.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Just wire the VCS up to a car battery and a 5" black and white tube TV, and you can game in your fox-hole bunker during armageddon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Never mind, I was going into the Mario Kart Channel (was shuttered I think) instead of WFC to get to the matching services. Duh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Just wire the VCS up to a car battery and a 5" black and white tube TV, and you can game in your fox-hole bunker during armageddon! We did something similar back in the day. We'd cover the family Ford LTD or Chevy Impala in towels or blankets to black-out the windows. We'd pretend to be flying through deep space fighting battles to save the Earth. Or play Missile Command in our makeshift bunker. I would also use my Sound Gizmo to get laser gun and warp drive effects. Incidentally, one of my first interfacing projects to my Apple II+ was to use Peeks & Pokes to toggle relays which would then open or short the controls on it. You could switch and change settings faster than humanly possible, thus create new sound effects. Edited December 31, 2013 by Keatah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) We set up an NES in a tent and stole my friends moms menthol king size smokes.. "gross dude" I said totally not smoking your mom lipstick covered butts.. Sat in an old 63 merc Montcalm (canadian montclair I think) and listened to def leppard and shot pellet guns at each other and played atari.. ok wth were wii talking about again.. oh yeah modern glitchy pita made our lives easier garbage.. We need a louder ghetto. Edited January 1, 2014 by Jinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Modern systems are a pain in the ass. And cloud services do nothing to ease the situation. VCS and other 8-bit systems of the era were dirt simple and we loved the stuff! Isn't that cool how one can be entertained and derive so much value from something so basic?
