I'd rather have Portal 3...

It Now Appears Possible to Hack a (Fancy, Japanese) Toilet

 

 

We all knew it was just a matter of time. With the rush to put more and more appliances on-line Japanese toilet-maker Satis, one of Japan's largest commode companies, has finally networked the toilet. Just as you would have predicted, the information security company Trustwave Holdings has published an advisory regarding Satis-brand toilets. According to Trustwave, every Satis toilet has the same hard-coded Bluetooth PIN, which means any person using the 'My Satis' [Android] application can control any Satis toilet. Can you image if someone triggers the bidet function when you're least expecting it?

Picked it up at a pawn shop today for $15. Had to look in the built in manual to find out how to reset it, but it's a pretty awesome deal!

Niether did I lol, how unbelivable, wow, a whole city, ouch!

I didn't either. How the heck do they manage municipal bankruptcy? not like they can just sell off it's assets and kick everyone out.

I know they haven't announced anything, but imagine this:

 

We pretend that Super Paper Mario didn't exist, and imagine a version more like thousand year door and the first one, maybe with Sticker Star's ability to instantly defeat very low level enemies. The Wii U's processing capabilities will be used at it's maximum potential to make the entire world look like a picture perfect papercraft diorama. There will be no cheating out with perfect 90 degree creases or perfectly flat overlapping, everything will be made to look like it was hand folded by hand pretty well, but none of the creases or folds will be absolutely perfect. And instead of switching between different shaped sprites for movement (except maybe for change of perspective), each sprite (Mario, enemys, NPCs, etc.) will be made from separate pieces of paper for the head body or arms and legs, which will move as if hinged.

 

In the battle scenes, I want to see attacks rippling through instead of being template. I want hammer blows to crumple and bend the foes in the shape of the hammer, and as the enemy becomes more damaged it will have creases and maybe rips, which would originate from the prior attacks and not be simple generic damage. Fire would permanently singe the paper (until healed), and water attacks will be absorbed by the paper and make it soggy.

 

I don't know if I can fully describe what I want to see, but what I want to see is something that looks almost like stop motion using real paper and literally PROVES the capabilities of the Wii U. I believe that, if done right, Paper Mario HD could possibly win awards for it's graphics.

It is the fist handheld I've ever owned since the game boy advanced SP (which I stopped playing once I lost the charger many years ago)

I had picked up a blue XL and Paper Mario Sticker Star ( and that submarine simulator because it was discounted to $1)

Already I love it. Admittedly the combat engine in Sticker Star is odd, but otherwise I'm enjoying the game and 3D. I should've picked up on a long time ago.

What? That's kinda sad. There's nothing wrong with a computer or a smartphone; it's what you use it for. This is stupid.

So is banning internet cafes (and I even assume computers in public libraries). A lot of people can't afford an internet connection or a computer, yet still need to be online to do stuff such as communicating with friends and family that's far away.

That sounded suspiciously like spam, but I did find it. Not available until August though. By that time it might be available locally.

I've been waiting for MONTHS now! The money I set aside is starting to dwindle...

Frankly I'd just be happy if they implemented a share method, so I can put my game saves onto a usb stick then plug it into my friend's Wii U to continue where I left off.


Actually, it'd be awesome if they can somehow put a roaming profile onto the USB drive so I can somehow play my downloaded games and access my Miiverse account on my friend's Wii U.

I played the demo and I thought it would be fun for parties but not much else.

I think sonic racing has online multiplayer...
