Wii in Australia thread

[Ekiushi]

I remember in Year 9 & 10 the PE teachers trying to stress "If you DON'T go to the Swimming Carnival, the Athletics Carnival AND the Cross Country, YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL YOUR YEAR 10 CERTIFICATE"

When asked why, they replied 'Because PE is IMPORTANT'

When informed that PE wasn't actually one of the things tested in the actually Certificate - that only being maths, science, history and english (I think). No PE. They told everyone to shut up, that PE was important, and now we had to go and play ULTIMATE FRISBEE! - It should be noted that ULTIMATE FRISBEE which is always in capitals started being played the same time as ULTIMATE MUSCLE was being played on Channel 10 (or Cartoon Network), so therefore I constantly associated the PE game with the wrestling cartoon.

Oh, the arguments I had with the PE teachers over my participation in PE. By Year 10 they had all but given up and allowed me to play Hand Ball with my friends. Which we had about three games and gave up. I passed year 10 Certificate without attending any of the carnivals either.

... I think I'm going to go wiki Ultimate Muscle. I remember there was a character that constantly reminded me of Radditz from Dragon Ball Z. Anyway, umm.. Wii! I actually can't think of a way to relate this. So, I fully apologise for my lack of relation to topic.

Yes, because everything in the last 5-6 pages of posts have been purely on topic. I'm sure we can forgive you for not having something on topic. And if you like blood games, then Counter Strike Source or Half Life 2 would be excellent games for your liking.

Ahh yes...PE is pathetic. Sports carnivals I don't mind, especially swimming, big feet come in handy sometimes....Hmmm....Still can't decide between SMG or MOH...?

Yay I've finished! I'm going shopping tomorrow for a game, I'm still undecided on what to get. I'm tempted to get Guitar Hero 3, and then Super Mario Galaxy when that comes out. On a side not, I don't care about rep at all .

Congrats on finishing Pete! It's a big milestone in your life, you'll never forget that time at school! Also, congrats to anyone else that has finished exams/school! I think Eki finished a few weeks/months ago??

You should deffinetly get Guitar Hero 3, it is a fantastic game and is great to play with mates, even great to play with me online! haha

@ Apollo: Orange Box is the best vaule game you will ever buy, i'm loving it on my 360 at the moment, the compilation of all 5 games set each other off, I'm particularly loving Portal at the moment.

@ PE: BLAH, I hated it too, the only part of it I liked was the ballroom dancing, everyone at HS had to do it! So fun! (<---There is no sarcasm there!) (<--nor any in that either!)

Just phrase the question as a double negative, therefore the lieing man ends up telling the truth.

Just been playing a bit of Half Life 2 from the Orange Box on my 360! Great game.

Also killik119, instead of double posting, you can hit edit, as your new here it's ok, but it is frowned upon to double post

 

[AndThen?]

Year ten exams. I feel important.

Seriously though - exam week is one of my favourite in the year.

That makes two of us, I get back around 4 today and my brother had gone out and got Guitar Hero III . I had work, but once I got home I started playing and haven't stopped until juSt now. I tired one unranked online match and won :yikes: it was a tight though, even for most of it then I pull out my Star Power and win . I'm having great fun with it and recommend it to everyone :thumbsup:

Another GH:III note does anyone else find jumping around like an idiot and nodding/bangging your head up and down makes you play better....cause I found that it does....weird

:lol: Head banging should give you an automatic perfect score IMO. I'm having a lot of fun with it to, though I'm still hanging around easy, medium is a little to tough at this point.

 

[Deanis]

Yer I usually play guitar, but picking up guitar hero 3 was completely different. It feels a bit odder to play, but jump around a bit and you seem to do OK.

Yeah same, that 4th button is just a little too much atm, although I can play one song pretty well on Medium (School's Out).

I'll post up my code later on
