This is a mostly knee-jerk reaction to Nintendo's Press conference... But first, my Bingo card:

Nintendo E3 Bingo 2012
I've made another E3 Bingo card. To spare you from my god-awful handwriting this year,
I've done it digitally.
This is just done for fun, and sort of a checklist of
what I expect/hope to see. Any
reasoning I have for my choices is down below.
I've got my week booked off, and I'm pretty much going on a media
blackout from now to the press conferences.

Caveat Emptor
It's been a few weeks since the Nintendo Selects came out, hasn't it?
Thinking about it now, I probably should have checked the UPC codes.
Something...
So... My day started with my USB stick deciding to desolder its self... it went down hill from there.
I asked a coworker to help recover the files. And well, this was the result...

Notes about Blip and Videos
This was originally under video in the previous post. However I figured it needed it's own post.

Note to self
To avoid being afraid that I had lost the USB stick with everything on it, in the future attach to the same key chain that my keys are on.

3DS Update
Well... it finally was released... I managed to update and then download Excitebike 3D, before it promptly crashed on me.
Tried going back in and it looks like it's under maitnence...
We'll I'm setting my alarm for the morning to wake up and try to download Pokédex 3D in what is hopefully going to be an off hour...

Nintendo E3 Predictions
A few years ago, after seeing Joystiq's E3 Bingo cards I decided to make my own during a night shift at Tim Hortons.
I was bored during my lunch this week (due to the lack of my computer and capabilities of editing a video) so I decided to do it early this year. I figure if I wait any longer I'll have all of the announcements spoiled so here are my guesses.

Tales of Graces f
Wow... I have so many mixed feelings over how the Tales of Graces f announcement was handled.
In a few words: you could have avoided this.
The Wii owner in me is disappointed that Namco Bandai didn't just come right out and say, "No it's only on the PS3." 2 months ago, and that their own fault that people expected more console releases because they were constantly dodging the question, for some inexplicable reason.
The PS3 owner in me is pissed off that Namco Bandai's definition of "Coming soon" is the vague time frame of: 2012. There are 366 days next year Namco Bandai. Care to narrow it down a bit?
As an aside, maybe Nintendo is actually doing something right in only announcing details on the game a few months before release. Hype won't last the remaining 7 months of the year. Let alone the any additional months for whenever it is released.
I'm absolutely dumbstruck that they actually made a big deal of the platform it was coming to as though it was some mystery. This is 2011, not 1990 where most people didn't know what games are out overseas and what wasn't being translated!
Finally in reality, besides just squishing some rumors on the internet about a Wii port: WE STILL HAVEN'T LEARNED ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL YET!
On Tales of the Abyss:
The 3DS owner in me is going "I've all ready played through Tales of the Abyss on the PS2. What additional content is in the game that will justify paying for this game again when I still have a functioning PS2?"

Laptop continued
I wanted to get a video out for today. That unfortunately is now impossible.
While trying to record footage, the program crashed multiple times. At first I thought it was just because I had been recording video footage for an hour straight. But the program has now crashed several more times. As little as 3 minutes into recording. It's the same settings I've always used.
I'm going to open up my laptop, and just hope that it's just dust or cat hair or something. Unfortunately, I can't find the proper sized screwdrivers here at home, so that's going to have to wait until my lunch break tomorrow.
Best case scenario: I open up the case of my laptop and find a lot of crap that can be blown away and it works.
Worst case scenario: I open up the case and even after cleaning everything, the laptop still doesn't record video footage on Monday night. Tuesday I buy a new laptop, and hope to hell I still have the disk with the program that came with the Easy Cap somewhere.
And in case you were wondering what I was planning on doing, in honor of Mother's day I was going to review Metroid: Other M, and then the Metroid Manga, (since the two sort of go hand in hand...) I've got up to the first part of the hell run, and looking over some of the later video footage, it seems like it skipped at multiple times.

Laptop
My laptop is overheating... it's four years old, and is probably reaching the end of the road.
Sigh, I foresee spending more money in the future.
Ever since I started Backlogged to try and save money, it just seems like the money is going into other places. My car, and now probably a new laptop...
On the bright side, I can probably get something that is capable of running something more complex than Windows Movie Maker. And I can finally be rid of Windows Vista!

Wii Successor
With all these wacky rumors going around about the Wii's successor being revealed at this upcoming E3, why is it that the only thing I can think of is characters I want in the next Super Smash Bros?
I also am fearing the day Nintendo discovers DLC for Smash Bros. (By that I mean new characters, and stages, not the photo's, videos, and stages that we had in Brawl)

3DS Pedometer
Dear Nintendo:
The 3DS pedometer function gives 1 Play Coin for every 100 steps.
The recommended daily step count for the average adult is 10,000 steps.
The daily play coin cap is set to 10, meaning 1000 steps. This is in the user manual.
Also from the manual: the amount of play coins allowed in the system at one time has a cap of 300 for no particular reason.
You want people to carry the 3DS wherever they go.
Do you see a potential problem with this?
Sincerely,
Saber

Testing 1 2 3...
Well, here is the first post of the blog. There isn’t much here right now. I'm just messing around with everything to see how things work, and I'm trying to find a design that I like. Don't be alarmed if things suddenly change...
