i am not happy...
... with whatever little japanese guy (or possibly girl) over at nintendo decided that it'd be a good idea to only put shitty b wireless in their "next-gen" console. how fucking "next-gen" is it when the wireless technology in it is already two generations behind the current standard?? and from what i understand, the hardware will work with g wireless, but they only put in drivers for fucking b!! just retarded.
i was setting up a wii wirelessly for some friends of my family today, and to get the goddamn thing to stay connected through an entire update, i had to put the wireless router directly beside the fucking wii. that really makes the wireless useful, huh? cuz, you know, at that distance, it wouldn't just be easier to hardwire it, right? *facepalm*
i had to move this family's dsl modem and the wireless router i got for them all down to their basement, and then they also had to pay for a wireless usb adapter for their computer, all because nintendo decided to cheap out on the wireless in their consoles. brilliant.
and i like wiis! they're fun, the games are entertaining, and i've personally watched people enjoying their gameplay that generally don't play video games. but they sure as fuck screwed the pooch on the wireless.
ETA: also, a belated happy birthday to miss sunnybananas!! she's responsible for me having a livejournal, as it was her that provided me with an invite code (way back when lj still required invitations :p). someday i'm sure i'll post about how sunny and i briefly crossed paths, a meeting which ended up greatly affecting certain aspects of my life. but it's a long story, so not tonight. :p
