Topic: Attn Wii Music Fans!

It says you still haven't registered me on my Wii...I'll try sending something and see what happens.

Yeah, it didn't work. You'll have to connect and then give it a few minutes for it to register us as friends before I can send anything.

So... I forgot to return Wii Music...

Party time!

To celebrate, let's play Send Adam Songs. The game ends tomorrow at noon. Good luck.

Adam, did you register me? Because this sounds like a good game

I would, but I have to return it tomorrow, so it'd unfortunately be pointless. Rest assured, if I ever buy the game (probably will), I'll register you and anyone else I've yet to register!

It's going to be a bit difficult to play "send Adam videos" if I can't send you anything, isn't it? Just kidding man. Hope you pick it up some day. Everyone who's already put their friend codes up, please register me and feel free to send me your stuff. I'm a big fan of this game, and I'm going to try and register you all tonight. I'm starting to realize why friend codes are so freaking annoying

I'll be registering you tonight Kid_A. I've got some vids to view from Adam and others I think. I need to experiment with using the Balance Board for drums in videos as well...

Mario paint? no, absolutely not.

Wii is made for experience like wii music, not pushing coloured buttons

Nothing wrong with Mario Paint. I was still playing the music composer on it once the 64 and Cube were out. Not to mention the fly swatter.

It's certainly a more accurate comparison than Link to the Past, which shares nothing in common with Wii Music whatsoever. Both were unique, non-gaming experiences for their respective platforms that enabled you to make music like no other software on consoles, so yes, absolutely yes.

I'm back.

Kid A, I will add you this evening -- I expect at least one of your videos to capture the feel of the eponymous album

On the Wii Music website question -- yes, I've been very interested in setting something like that up for quite some time now, I just never find the time outside of work anymore (where I'm primarily programming web applications) to build websites for fun; it makes it considerably less fun to do what I've been doing at the office all day. However, I think the time is ripe for me to look at the hosting options and think about what we could set up piece by piece. I believe one required element for me is to finally purchase a proper capture cable, so that I can upload high-quality videos, or could even upload a quality version of anything shared with me, if requested.

I've registered Sean and Warioswoods, and Chicken Brutus so far. As soon as we're registered as friends I'll start a-sendin'. My favorites so far are a Vampire Weekendish version of Wii Sports, an original song I've made called Tin Can Jam (that I made using Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as a template), and an orchestral rendition of The Locomotion (with turntables and balad drums). I'll probably send those.

[rant]$7.15 for a day late, what is the world coming to? I know I am talking about a faceless corporation here, but seriously, have they no shame? Last time I turned something in late it was under a dollar. Freaking Moving Gallery, sheesh. I might as well have bought the game the first time. Never renting there again, and to think I've stayed loyal to them all this time after Blockbuster came to town and nearly destroyed them. [/rant]

Adam that sucks. I've never heard of such an insane late fee! Blockbuster doesn't have late fees, so you should check them out.

@Wario:
If the process of web-design has you down, we could do it with something basic like wordpress.com, and just build off a default blog template. Up to you, obviously (I have little/no HTML knowledge, but I'd be more than glad to contribute content), but it's a thought.

@Kid_A:
Already looking forward to the Vampire Wiikend Sports theme.

@Adam:
Yowza. That's...pretty greedy.

I go to Blockbuster whenever Movie Gallery doesn't have something. MG used to be Slick Sam's, and it's the only rental store still in business since my early childhood, so I've always felt I owe them something. Well, I think I paid off my debt this morning! Hello, Blockbuster.

Actually, final note in my tangent, I think I will just stop renting games so much and just rent stuff I know I will like but can finish in a week.

I've always though it would be a great idea to have an alternative game rental business that is also a full retail game store, with one big selling point: if you rent a game and then decide to purchase the same game new, any and all rental fees paid will be subtracted from the retail game's price. So, since you just spent maybe $14 or something on your recent rental and late-fee fiasco, you'd now be able to purchase the game brand new for $36.

That way there would be zero risk in renting a game before buying it. I would certainly become a member of such a shop immediately were one to materialize in my town.

I've always wondered why rental stores don't work that way. I would certainly become a member as well. They could always tack on a small fee so that it's still worth it to the gamer but makes a bit more for them to justify the extra service. If only I were more of an entrepreneur, but it's so hard to spell.

@Wario
I'd also be interested in contributing to the Wii Music site if you decide to make it

@chicken brutus
I can't send you nothin' till you connect your Wii and let it register us as friends ma boi!
Either that or you haven't registered me. Either way, everytime I try to send a Wii Music Vid it says I have nobody on my friend list that that has the game.

Blockbuster isn't that great frankly. They still do late fees in the UK and if you don't pay them within a week they start sending you letters threatening to send it to a collection agency (though that isn't legal after so short a time). Frankly I don't see how it is they're still in business other than the fact that there are no other video shops around!

LOL Sean I got your videos. Your Wii Music Theme vid cracked me up (who knew Obama was such a kickass drummer?). It was very creative. I might add something to it and send it back to you. I sent you a few of mine, hope you enjoy!
