Hello, you have reached my talk page. I don't think I'll need this for much at the moment, but because I am trying to become more active, I figured I'd put something here. I am a multi-wiki user, so if you have a problem with interwiki stuffs on MetroidWiki/MarioWiki, I guess I can try and help.

As a fellow gamer (and since we were discussing the ESRB on the MarioWiki), I thought you'd find this interesting.

Not something you hear about every day. Metroid4Ever 16:48, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah, heard about that this morning. It's best for parents to make those decisions, not the government. Now about Tingle, there should be a separate law concerning him... Bop1996 _{(Talk | Unfinished projects)} 18:41, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I agree. There is no good reason for a short guy who looks in his forties to force a kid to shoot down his balloon in order to sell him maps. Metroid4Ever 12:23, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

It's even worse in the Wind Waker; he is integral to translating maps needed to finish the game. Of course he charges 398 rupees. I don't know if you have reached the first dungeon, but the good old dungeon map is in the dungeons, thank goodness. I'd really rather face some harder than normal enemy than Tingle... Too bad Nintendo loves him, they gave him a spin-off series <_< Bop1996 _{(Talk | Unfinished projects)} 01:16, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

398 rupees? Does he think Link is made of money or something? That's just ridiculous. I haven't been to the first dungeon yet (MM's on hold until I finish Master Quest (still in the Forest Temple, but I killed the two Stalfos and got the bow), but I'm glad I don't have to spend money to get the map. I really don't understand why Tingle has a series, but there's no way in Hyrule I'm going to play it. If Tingle was Miyamoto's idea, I'm never going to understand what goes through that guy's head (though without him, Samus wouldn't have the visor system used in the Prime games). Anyway, I'm sure the last thing you want to think about is Nintendo's official pedophile, so enjoy this tribute to OoT I found. Metroid4Ever 01:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

If only Tingle could be "accidentally" killed. MK 19:06, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Maybe if Link "accidentally" shot him with a Light Arrow instead of his balloon... Light Arrows work well on evil kings of darkness, but even better on creepy stalkers like Tingle... Bop1996 _{(Talk | Unfinished projects)} 19:12, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

That's a waste of magic. Maybe Tingle could "accidentally" get eaten by a Like-Like or "accidentally" killed by Majora. Metroid4Ever 20:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

I promise that the next conversation I initiate will be productive....

Anyway, I thought this little story was worth sharing. I've recently been considering venturing into unknown territory. Shortly before falling asleep last night, I hummed the Song of Storms (stuck in my head along with the Song of Time for hours previously). I ended up having a most peculiar nightmare. In it, I received the subject of the link in the mail. The sky was black, it was pouring rain, lightning struck every five seconds, and for some reason, the howling wind sounded like the Echoes title theme (I was also the only person who seemed calm, odd considering that a tornado was heading my way). I didn't even get to open the box containing my gift; the dream ended as soon as I touched it. Suffice to say I was irritable when I woke up...sucks to be broke. Metroid4Ever 01:03, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Wow. I must say, you've bested me in being addicted to Nintendo in this facet; I never dreamed about Nintendo (although if I ever attempt hardcore speedruns low% on Prime 2, I might get there). Oddly enough, while OoT is the one that that sort of stuff always happens with, I hold by my opinion that Majora's Mask is really a better game (just was misunderstood for a while). I can't really call it underrated now, because so many people have said it that they finally give it the credit it deserves. I put the game up for now due to the total epicness of Chrono Trigger (not made by Nintendo, but it was exclusive to the SNES). Idk, I have such a hard time with so many great games I haven't played yet on my shelf or a Wii channel for... Listen to me ramble again :)... Bop1996 _{(Talk | Unfinished projects)} 01:17, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Lol, I think it's got less to do with Nintendo (though I am addicted) and more to do with a very strong desire for what would be the first instrument I've ever played/owned (excluding a plastic recorder seven or so years ago). I also think I'll share your opinion on MM (I'm on the Spirit Temple in OoT Master Quest, so I should pick MM up again soon). There are a ton of games I've been neglecting as well, notably ALttP and DKC. As for Chrono Trigger, never played it and might get it off VC eventually, though all I know about it is the hero's name is Chrono, and he fights a guy named Magus. Metroid4Ever 02:24, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, I took up the trumpet a few years ago, and my teacher is the single most finicky teacher in history. In spite of that (or is it because of that?), he manages to be witty and dry, thus making him a great teacher... Never thought of playing a flute or anything like that (one of my friends plays trombone, he tried to play a clarinet and failed). Twinrova will most likely dish out major pain to you (although I had little trouble dodging her attacks)... And then you've got Ganon's Castle, that'll be real fun. GameFAQs allows users to make gaming related top ten lists. One user has gone to 15 different forums and asked for votes on the best game of all time. Chrono Trigger has been on 12 of those lists, been in the top 5 eight or so times, and won top place two or three times, and has been nominated for every list. OoT has made 9 of those lists, has taken top spot once, been in the top five 6 times, and been nominated for all of them (some games just get nominated every single time, like FFVII, OoT, Chrono Trigger, etc.). That's just it's legacy, the actual game is no less fantastic. It's only got seven party members, but the Dual and Triple tech system makes any combination worth trying. Magus was the most epic boss I had ever fought, he knocked out two of my party members at one point. I'm actually right about to beat the game, or at least the final boss, but the game has 13 endings, so I have to go back and get the rest. Btw, Crono isn't really the best character in the game (or he wasn't until I got his ultimate weapon), but I keep him in there anyway just because.

Cite Manga

I removed the external link to Template:Cite manga. I hadn't realized it earlier, but after a certain point, the pages on the manga and the url don't match, to it wouldn't be practical to keep it there. So pretty much, you can use multiple pages and speakers or whatever now, just do something like "19-20" in the page parameter. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 22:15, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Alright, although I really liked linking there, I'm kinda glad to have the actual referencing made easier. We'll probably have scans of the more important pages uploaded to here anyway, right? Bop1996 _{(Talk | Unfinished projects)} 00:29, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Right! We can upload those important ones lik X taking over Hornoad. But since this is Metroid Wiki, where images tend to be awesome, cropping them out turns out really well :] I liked the linking too, but it's not so practical it seems. We can't upload the whole manga though, we'd need permission from SnoopyCool, the guys who translated it. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 02:10, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Lol, the cropped images have the Malake seal of awesomeness :)... If I upload an image, would you be able to crop it, because I don't have any editing tools (my laptop is really finicky, so I don't download any software anymore). Bop1996 _{(Talk | Unfinished projects)} 20:43, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Prime Trilogy Screenshots

I happened to notice on your user page that you said you were going to unlock the screenshot tool for Metroid Prime Trilogy. If you needed the friend credits, which MUST be sent from another wii, i could give them to you. You should be aware though, that tool sends them to the wii message board, and they cannot be currently uploaded in any known form, which is stupid. --Nintendbob 21:05, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

You can't put them on an SD card? I assumed that I'd be able to do at least that... I was planning on using the infinite friend credit glitch to get my credits, but I'll contact you if I need credits, thanks :) Bop1996 _{(Talk | Unfinished projects)} 21:09, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, Nintendo decided that no one is ever going to get screenshots of their games unless you want to buy some special adapter for your computer or use an emulator. --Nintendbob 21:30, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

I thought that you could put photos from the Photo Channel on an SD card... If you can put photos from an SD card on a Wii Console, you would theoretically be able to do it the other way around... I need to test it somehow, unless you tested it that way. Bop1996 _{(Talk | Unfinished projects)} 22:10, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the Photo Channel cannot write to a SD card. The wii cannot email the picture anywhere but another wii. I have searched for a long time , and there is no way to transfer the photos without taking a picture of your tv. It is such a stupid way for them to do it, and unless they update it somehow (unlikely) there is no solution. --Nintendbob 22:48, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
