Wii in Australia thread

I like blood and gore.

Speaking of which - Resident Evil 4 and Umbrella Chronicles -- That's exactly why I don't ask parents to buy me video games. They get confused easily, particularly if they don't understand, and they never do. No matter how much you explain 'I want Resident Evil 4, NOT Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles! Umbrellas are BAD' Anyway, something similar has happened to me. Fortunately I managed to stop my mother before she purchased it. Whatever it was. It was some similar title game or something. Heck, even asking her to get me a DVD is hard. For instance, 'The Holiday', she kept calling it 'The Vacation'. And there are heaps of other instances like that. I make sure to stand right next to parents -- also I buy my own christmas presents. No surprises for me. I'd rather sacrifice that surprise and make sure they get me something I'll like.

Nintendo entusiast interested in macabre horror? Thats an unusual combination. Head over to the FF forums, or dare i say. 4chan?

I don't mind the old bit of blood and gore, but come on - it's Kill Bill. Kill Bill is awesome.

I still think Garubo is hilarious.

My Dad thought "lol" stood for Lots Of Love. His texts were always so confusing...

And Eki:

I totally agree. I have to write THE MOST specific list, including what to say to the retailers, how to get to the shop, etc. Surprises are always so... disappointing, lol.

BAD NEWS!!

I asked my parents to go out and retrieve RE4: Wii Edition (with my money >.>) and what did they return with? UMBRELLA CHRONICLES. I was soo pissed at them when i discovered this. Apparently they just asked for the "fourth" installment of resident evil, and the people at the shop gave her this. THEY LIED!!

Im deciding whether i should just play the freaking game, or go to the shop tomorrow and turn it back in, yell at them, then get the correct version (hopefully for free).

Where'd you buy it from? EB have a policy where you can return the game no questions asked within a week after purchase.

I'm looking to get Guitar Hero after I finish Galaxy, and I'm at about 76 stars and we bought it on the 29th of November.

I got it from Big W.

Im am to scared to touch the case, for fear of the seal breaking

Wooooooo, it's 3am and I just got home from clubbing! I did think of something to say as I started writing this but my intoxicated brain has made me forget!! YAY

Thats pretty strange I don't see how you could get mixed up between that and RE:4. Very strange indeed... is RE:UC more expensive than RE:4?

I am heading down in about five minutes to go get me Link's Crossbow trainning . Using last nights pay (bugger you xbox 360 savings) to buy it, and maybe finally get around to buying some new stylus..es, I lost all mine . As a result of no stylus...es I haven't been playing many DS games, I know you don't always use the stylus but I dunno.

The amount of point to this post boggles the mind...In the middle fo this my mum got a new diary and aparently New Zealand schools are going to be having 394 half days this year.....weird anyhoo back to what I was saying before Oceanic that post has about as much point as a hockey ball, ie none :lol:. Must've been a fun night

If anyone wants to give me a Christmas gift through the giving system on the Wii Shop Channel feel free . I think I'm getting Super Paper Mario for Christmas and Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. I never got around to getting them!

Wow this is like the first time I've posted from my Wii, using a USB keyboard is so convenient.

BTW I don't like your signature AndThen?. It's to bloody.

Ahhh, I love being a hockey [STRIKE]puck[/STRIKE] ball! To make up for my pointless post, I bring you the new and improved pointed post. (Users use at own risk, chance of getting a sharp point in the eye is very high).I now have 113 stars on Galaxy! I'm nearly there! Half a cheer for me...HIP HIP...HOO!

Anyway, it wasn't that pointy, but I'm bored, and tired still and I'm supposed to vacuum soon and I dont think you should use this many "ands" in a sentence!

...and? :lol:

Oh yeah just got back from the shopping centre with a lovely plastic shell to call my own ....so I'll be going now

I think I'm getting Super Paper Mario for Christmas and Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. I never got around to getting them

I don't know about SPM its a good game just I wouldn't see myself playing it again for a long long time, its funny after all the time it took to get here I only played it once . As for Phantom Hourglass...are you crazy you never gots it, I command you as King of the Britons to [STRIKE]stand aside [/STRIKE] go get it.

Yeah RE: UC is like 30 bucks more expensive than RE4.

I went back to the shop today and guess what? They didnt have any copies in stock, HOW CONVENIANT. Plus they would not give my cash back and would only let me use the money as store credit. So i was forced to buy MP3 as a result. After all I did need to get that game, but I wasnt planning to until ages. I WANT RE4 NOW DAMMIT.

As soon as i heard you could give gifts after the update I immediantly went to the shop channel, only to realise that you have to pay for the game AGAIN to send it. Its epic phail, worse than that 'cruising game.

I didnt like SPM that much, its nothing like its predecessors.

That's a bit unfair that they didn't refund you if it was a mistake they made at least you got MP3 (which I'm not sure if I'll get till later, much later).

:lol:

Link's Crossbow trainning is awesome . I'm not sure wether the plastic shell helps much though, I see no difference between using it and not using it but meh its a Zelda game (Yes spin-off but..) and a bit of plastic for $44, well worht it you must all but it now
