I'm pretty sure the cards are region-locked — i know you have to have PAL-region points cards for your PAL-region device, same for JP and NA Nintendo consoles that use points cards. as for same-region cards, if nothing else you might be able to switch your country and redeem the points that way. pretty sure i've seen people discussing switching countries from AUS to EU (or vice versa?) to pick up games that have maybe been released in one area and not the other, but don't quote me on that because i've never really been in a position to try it for myself :3

haha, i actually picked up an iPhone 3GS just yesterday — i needed it for the Square app so i can run credit cards on my own, and since it's my first smartphone i wasn't concerned about having the latest and greatest or anything. I tried a few of the Droid phones they had in the store (they have a Square app for Droid too), but i wasn't happy with the lag between menu screens, and even that playstation phone (the Xperia one) felt odd and bulky in my hands. i'm more used to the iPhone thanks to my mentor and his crazy love for Apple products, i guess.

ah well. i'm loving it so far, had no idea it had a Kindle app available. i'd kinda wanted a Kindle anyway but didn't want to deal with having yet another thing to carry around with me all the time, so this is a win/win for me :3

@Progamer: since you've made a new thread with a more appropriate title, and since no one had replied there anyway, I've gone ahead and deleted your thread from the other day about this same thing. Please do not make any more Kid Icarus FC threads — even if no one replies to this one immediately, it'll see use once the game's release date draws nearer. Thank you in advance.

@VincentV, @Progamer: you'll notice I've cleaned the mess out of this thread. It's One Word Story, not three, not sixteen, not two. No one else has a problem using conjunctions and small words like 'a' and 'an' as their submissions to the thread, and it's generally fast-paced enough around here when it gets going that it's not a problem for everyone else to have fun. Either play by the rules or stay out of this thread. This is your warning.

Also, @Progamer: Please stop turning every thread you hit into an FC-trading thread. We have a 3DS FC thread for a reason. Please use it.

Now, since I've wrecked the thread in the process, it's time to

@Progamer, @milkman12: you'll note this thread is much more condensed than it was before. if you've got something to add to whatever you just said real quick and no one else has said anything yet, just edit it in via the 'Edit' link above your comment. It keeps the clutter down in a thread and makes things easier to read overall. Thanks in advance!

that said, no events within a 100-mile radius of me, either. so much for that :(

Your Club Nintendo account has nothing to do with what games you've purchased on your Wii — those are attached to the Wii itself. The only thing that will probably happen is you'll lose your coins from the old account and won't be able to re-earn any coins for your WiiWare/VC games in the new account.

But @Slapshot and @PolkadotChocobo said they aren't RPG's.

They're not actual RPGs, they're JRPGs — the Japanese took the basic RPG model and changed it so much that it's no longer an actual RPG model anymore. Thus the 'J' in that acronym. It's like 'folk rock' versus 'punk rock' — they've both got the word 'rock' in their name, they both share some similarities, but they are otherwise two very different styles of music deserving of their own separate genre titles.

If we could get back to the main discussion now — which is Skyrim, not labels and semantics — I'd greatly appreciate it, Tendoboy. Thanks in advance!

a black screen could mean anything. if you had just selected a VC/WW game to play and the screen goes black for a strangely long period of time, leave it alone and the game will eventually load (i waited nearly five minutes once, it was weird, but it eventually loaded just fine, lol). if you were in the middle of a game and the screen suddenly went black, it could've just been a weird bug. you could've accidentally hit the power button on your TV remote for all we know, but this 'black screen of death' you speak of is not normally a Wii problem — overheating eventually gives you problems with your display, not blacks everything out. either way, provided your television is turned on, generally a restart will get your Wii running normally after something goes weird.

if you're truly that worried about your Wii, just contact Nintendo and see what they say — i'm sure you have them on speed dial already for your 3DS with as much as you fret over it. good luck!

actually, this article here about the music of 'Wicked' mentions a seven-note rule regarding copyright law. i'm not sure if that's the exact same situation as this, but six seconds' worth or a song sounds excessive in terms of being legally allowed to sample it or modify it for new use without credit or royalties paid to the original author.
