Yeah I ordered Brawl 3 and a half weeks ago now? So yeah, Freeloader arrives on time, but the post office wanted to keep the game until I paid the handling fees...they decided to keep it for one and a half weeks THEN send me notice saying that it needs pick-up like, NOW or its going in the trash...
So yeah I got Brawl, clawed my way through about 15 wrappings of tape and then removed the annoying uber tight packaging/plastic wrap thing and got the game out.
I got freeloader out, put it in the Wii, screen starts to flicker and go all fubar'd as it seemed, then returned to normal and I guess that was the "coloured bars that will appear on screen to show freeloader is working". Then I took out the disc, put Brawl in and waited, the window with Brawl came up, I was uber excited, then I clicked play. Black screen comes up, nothing happens! Try the whole thing 3 times again all to achieve the same result.
I'll take a look at Chocolate's blog for how he did it, he used the freeloader succesfully.
Oh and I also have an XBOX360 Elite. Yeah I know you were about to think this weren't you? "Lol matches his name!" yeah well I know, I have been told so many times that MS should give me one because they stole half my name and stuck it on a console :P
Erm yeah, bought that, me being me with a strange attention span, forgot to buy some MS points to buy the new Halo Maps :x So Im gonna have to buy them from my account....However, I did not forget this, I bought Mass Effect Special Edition and damn it has some cool box art as its a plastic cover that is slid over a metal tin case.
I was also given Project Gotham Racing 4 with the 360 Elite.
Oh and for those of you in the UK and thinking of getting one? Go to Gamestation if you can't order it online and find a better deal than £260 with Halo3 or PGR4 for free. GAME were wanting £279.99 off me with ONE game from the list consisting of Gears Of War, Condemned 2, Halo3 or Table Tennis/Ping Pong whatever its called.
Erm, also I dunno if this is a good thing but I found from my dad's friend who runs a motorbike store, that I'd been given overpriced oil which was the wrong type for my bike. I was wondering why it felt so slow at times.
Oh and something to watch, "Arby And The Cheif" on Youtube, some funny **** from the creator Digital Ph33r who made Master Cheif Sucks At Halo!, really do reccomend, seriously funny stuff. Episode 1 isn't incredible but the guy knows and he works on stuff later on. One of the episodes has Brawl as the main theme :P
I'll be back on Rainbow Six tonight possibly but its more likely I'll be on Halo3 with the new maps.
Speaking of Rainbow Six, somebody showed me this, if you do not like gore or extreme pictures, do not click this link, but this is what actually happens when you are hit by White Phosphorous (Incendiary Grenades from RB6). Pretty sick, I can see why our Geneva Convention forbids use of it by European Forces here. Freaky. Im just glad they don't show that much detail in Rainbow Six when I use them lol.
Well Im gonna be off to try and get Brawl working these next few hours so, seeya all later :P
Oh and when I get the game working I'll post my friend code. Thats WHEN I get it working so nobody put a loaded gun to the back of my head for my friend code just yet, Im working on it lol
