#150696 Why is there no Reset button?

Posted by count_zero on 22 December 2012 - 12:36 AM in Wii U Hardware

My Wii U decided to seize up once when I tried to check for an update. Fortunately I didn't brick the console when I cut off the power to reset it
Crimson_Engage: I agree with you. It would make sense that If you were to hold the power button (either on the gamepad or on the console) that you would be able to reset it. Pulling the power is a "last ditch" debug strategy--we shouldn't have to do that.
Hopefully there will be an update to fix this.

If the User Interface (UI) has to say "Please wait" there is a problem...

#150682 REPORT - Thieves Steal $2M Worth of Wii U Consoles

Keep an eye out for sketchy WiiUs for sale on Craiglist and other classifieds. If a stolen WiiU were for sale, that would be the fastest way to move it.
Interesting story...
I was once talking to someone who works for a major railroad... She mentioned that sometimes a rail container of tuna fish would go missing. Immediatly they would know that organized crime was involved with the heist. She said that stolen tuna makes good income for the mob, but draws no attention. Think of that the next time you grab a can of albacore!

#150713 What's the most expensive video game you've ever bought?

Seems kinda odd, considering that you can land it for $20 on Steam for your PC (steam sale), but I paid $60 for Scribblenauts Unlimited for WiiU for $60 USD

#153760 Possibilities of Runescape on Wii U!?

Posted by count_zero on 29 December 2012 - 10:44 PM in Wii U Hardware

The platform (java) on which Runescape is built does not port over easily to WiiU. As cool as it would be to have RS on WiiU, it wouldn't be feasible to port the code over

#150705 What one game should I get?

I'd recommend NSMB (U). It's a good platformer. If you're familiar with older Mario titles (super mario bros; super mario world), you'll really enjoy it.
Multiplayer for NSMB is great too

#150714 If the world DID end (and it's not) how would you want it to end.

One thing that always bugged me about the "mayan calendar ending zomg" is that if the Mayans were good enough to predict the end of the world, you'd think they'd be good enough to predict the Spanish sailing across the Atlantic and taking over

I AM A TOTAL OTAKU

So I think I figured out the quote system.

I apologize if I sound dumb, but I've never seen the word "otaku"--so I looked it up. As far as I can tell, it means "really into something"
Hey man, if you're gonna be into something, go all out! I'm with ya!

CAPU-CHU:
I'm no more of an anime lover than I am I barbeque lover. It's tough to compare "Ghost in the shell" to North Carolina pulled pork!
Honestly, it depends on what we're looking at. Burger King sold barbeque for a while. It was pretty lame. Likewise, there's good anime out there and bad.
