Brawl Schedule

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

This is my extensive schedule for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I will miss one meal and lose at least five hours of sleep.
- Play one Vs. match with each character just to get acquainted with the new gameplay.
- Play one more match by clicking the Character Randomizer. After this, my 22nd match, I will have earned Luigi, Marth, and Ness. (Man, hidden characters are easy to get this time.)
- Play three more matches with Luigi, Marth, and Ness.
- Play classic mode as Link, thus earning Toon Link.
- Play classic mode as Meta Knight, thus earning Jigglypuff.
- Play four vs. matches as Peach and earn Super Mario Bros. 2, Virtual Console demo.
- Complete five target tests with any character to earn Lucario.
- Play 15 Matches on Shadow Moses Island alternating between the three new characters I'm most curious about: Diddy Kong, Pokemon Trainer, and Pit. Now I shall have Snake. (I'm now at 44 vs. matches total.)
- Now the Stage Builder fun begins! Build 15 Stages thus earning "Edit Parts B and C".
- Play 10 vs. Matches on those Custom Stages thus earning "Edit Part A."
- Play 10 matches on the different returning Melee stages.
- I'm now ready for online play! My first online match will be with the Classic Controller. My first character will be Mario.
- Play several dozen more online matches.
- Start the Subspace Emissary. Once I beat it, I'll have earned Sonic.
- Pass out from sheer excitement and lack of sleep.

Mario Kart Wii News

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

I've been focusing a lot on Brawl on this site, but I think I should maybe talk about the other game I'm really looking forward to: Mario Kart Wii. I've done my homework and I have some news.
- Miis are playable drivers that you can upload from the Mii Channel. This is good news. (I wanted them to be in Brawl, but this isn't about Brawl. It's about the poor, over-looked Mario Kart Wii.) Miis need to be in more compilation games, like a certain upcoming brawling game that shall go nameless. They've been in plenty of games, more than Pikmin & Olimar, but that's a bit off topic, right?
- The Gamecube controller may or may not be an optional controller. Seems like a rip-off to me. When they first announced this game they said that it would a revolutionary game in that it would level the playing field between pros and amateurs with the Wii Wheel, but that won't work if the pros are going back to the familiar Gamecube controller.
- Now for the online play news: Their will be twelve players online... interesting. They will introduce a new channel solely for Mario Kart Wii Online data. I don't want this sucking the memory, but oh well.

Least Visited Site Ever?

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

According to Alexa.com this website is 4,926,003rd most visited website ever. I found their Traffic Data rather interesting. Apparently 30 per cent of the people reading this are from Argentina and in their country this is the 1691,650th most visited website. Unaccepted in my own country, but I'm a sensation in Argentina.
Nineteen per cent of web users are still managing to go to "www.efinke.com"... I'm not sure that's still up and running. Try chrisfinke.com.
We must come together and repeatedly reload the main page to bring us in to the top 100! Are you with me?! Who am I kidding? I'm not even with me.


Thank you for visiting Maybe a Starbucks.
