Wii online

And there she goes, Capt'n

Hooked up Wii back online, which is dinda of a hassle when ZON fails to deliver a reliable customer service , mainly because, in my humble opinion, they are more interested on selling their wireless kits than setting up reliable ZonModem to Routers configurations and help pages, but I digress...

After some time I've nailed, hooked up the PC, the Wii, found out that NDS only supports WEP instead of WAP/WAP2 security measures - major letdown, will have to re-configure all of the wireless just to hook up with the DS online :/

Now that the Wii is online I've tried Pro Evolution 08 and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 online.

Dragon Ball turned out to be a major let down. While the single player is a super fluid game, filled with brillant colours and nice glowing effects on the chars, the online is a stuttering, eye tearing, choppy and, as you can imagine by now, horrible experience. One thing is lag provoking stress pauses on the screen, while you find yourself wondering "What the hell is going on?!?", other is watching youtube video buffering on your screen, while one tries to emulate a slow "Kamehameha", shouting and all that, to no success. Luckily the power off button still works on the Wii. "Praise the Lord!"

Pro Evolution Soccer 08. To sum it up quickly: Great experience. Played a 10 minute match, it wasn't difficult to set up a game, it was lag free, except on a minor 1 second hiccup, the game is brilliant, the control scheme is a must play for every "Wii is for kids" that exists outhere, I ...lost 0-5, not so good that part, i really can't score on Pro Evo, be it on PC or now on Wii.. Buy this game, play it online!

I'm off to play a little bit more online,
Catch you online! in Wii, however odd that may sound!

And it's alive! again!

I've decided to copycat, again, a friend of mine and resumed this short lived blog.

Wow..it's been a while since the last post, eh? February 6, 2008.. That's something like 53 weeks!

What have I been up to?
Work Work Work. The more the merrier. OK, not true. I've been sucked to a nasty tangled spirall of work. good news on these crysis days i guess.

work,work; Spain for summer hollidays, as usual, and checked out alot of Metroid Prime 3 for Wii, stopped at 27% - shame on me, but i am refusing to play more of that First Person Adventure in my oh-so tiny TV set ;more work, almost zero gameplay; i suck at Battallion Wars 2, or BWii, and ended up on not playing it much - shame for the game that got me to buy a Wii on the first place!; Xmas came and went; online shopping is a go! bought Dragon Ball Budokai 3, because, on a distant pass i was looney for that TV-Show, part because i was a evolving fan of Japanese anime, part because the stupid portuguese translators had a charm of its own

Don't believe it? check it out on this video that contains inumerous gems of the lusitan translation spirit!

Latest games in collection: Zack and Wiki, which is, in my humble oppinion of the best games in the console and Pro Evolution Soccer 08 for Wii, which is the killer Soccer game that you can play on these days.

Enough test for a rebirth post. Play with you another day. Keep reading and posting :)
