Buy Super Mario Galaxy From DVD Crave And Get It Early

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 06:08:17 +0000

DVD Crave will be getting the European SMG in stock. Which means if we order from them we should be able to play it a week or so earlier than the Australian release date, for around the same price.

Nintense Pokemon Competition (Australian users)

Wed, 29 Aug 2007 03:39:48 +0000

At Nintense, sign-ups are currently being held for our second Pokémon Theme Tournament. Last time, trainers had to battle it out against each other with their favourite Old School Pokémon. This time, the theme is new evolutions of old Pokémon, meaning any Pokémon that evolves from one introduced in a previous generation is admissible.

As with before (where the winner received a Surfing Pikachu), the trainer who proves themself to be the best will receive a super cool prize, this time their choice of one from a number of shiny Pokémon all relating to the theme.

Our friend code database makes it easy for players to locate each others friend codes, so matchups are quick and easy.

Friend Code Database

Fri, 24 Aug 2007 07:14:13 +0000

Some friends and I started up a small site where it will be dedicated to Nintendo Wifi games and to building up a community of people who want to play against each other.

Why should you join?:

- We have a cool friend code system set up which makes life easier.

- We are a group of people that enjoy wifi games.

- We have a irc channel #nintense on rizon.

- We want a dedicated wifi gaming community to grow so Nintendo can see online games are also needed.

So if your interested feel free to join up. The community is currently mostly Australian, but it doesn't really matter where you're from.

You can check it out here.

I made this because it gets cold in my room, and running a heater in the open would be too expensive. Now I have warmth, comfort and entertainment all in one area. I've slept in here most nights since I made it, because it's just so awesome.

Smoko For Prime Minister!

Fri, 10 Aug 2007 03:29:40 +0000

The Australian elections will be happening soon, and some people have decided that a change on the way things work is in order. So the plan is, on election day, add an extra box for "Smoko" and give him your highest preference. What does Smoko have to offer? He can offer his awesomeness, which is what a country needs to run.

Remember, Vote Smoko on Election day!

Skinning Questions.

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 23:38:54 +0000

I want my games interface to be dark, and I've managed to find a look I like so far. The only problem is, I can't seem to change the colours of the statusbar, menubar or even the child separator.

The first two aren't really a problem, because they can be disabled without any real loss (They'd be nice to have though). It's the child separator bar that bothers me, because I can't find anywhere to change its colour, or remove it.

Just in case I'm not making much sense, I've uploaded a screenshot.

Opera Wii. Full version released!

Thu, 12 Apr 2007 01:07:17 +0000

I've downloaded the full version of Opera for the Nintendo Wii. Let me say this now, it is a HUGE improvement.

Now YouTubes progress bar actually shows the progress while it loads.
Watch YouTube videos, full screen.
4chan is now usable.
Configure it to use a proxy.
Hide the grey nav bar.
Select between Google, or Yahoo! for your default search engine.
Clear Cookies.
Manual Zooming, with text that is viewable the entire time.

Tabs are still missing, but it's still impressive.

The trailer has been released today. You can see it here.

Wireless router, to wireless router. Via ethernet.

Mon, 26 Feb 2007 22:42:05 +0000

I'll be needing wireless access where my current wireless router can't reach soon. My current plan is to link two wireless routers together via ethernet. Kind of like the diagram below.

0 = wireless router
- = ethernet
/|\ = wireless signal

  0--------------------------------0
 /|\                              /|\

Would this be at all possible? I cant just use a normal wireless access point, unless it has at least 4 normal ethernet ports on it. And, supports 802.11B AND 802.11G. Even if a wireless access point like that existed, I would feel safer getting a router the same as my current one, because I know it works with my Wii and DS.
