Favorite games include: most strategy games, but honestly I'll try anything, so I end up with a nice mix of games, like Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, Halo 2, Civilizations 4, WarCraft 2 (TWO, not 3, and Don't even talk to me about W.O.W. or you shall die a horrible death) and many many others.
Avg Weekly GameTime: 30+ hours
I play console and PC games, but sadly havn't gotten around to getting an XBox360, or a PS3.
now that the IMPOTANT stuff is out of the way xD I'm a 19 yr old Female, living in a Hell Hole state that I can't wait to get out of and go back home (to Missouri), this Hell Hole goes by the Name of Houston, Tx. But don't be fooled by the English name it has, this city was forged in the fires of Mt. Doom by Sauron himself.
I'm pretty much your avg. nerd.. except on a couple traits, but we don't need to get into those.. and to prove it, I have (havn't played her in a long while though) a lvl 74 Silvan/Drow (I can give you the very... interesting back story to that if you understand why that's ridiculous) xD
Potius mori quam foedari
(Rather to die than to be dishonoured)
oh ya...
me xD
and to BlueFusion, I know there are probably about 30ish codes that wouldn't be used because of it being 1111 or 2222
and then all zeros and all 1's or 9's or w/e..
but 30 - 9,999,999,999,999 = insignificant difference :P
Because Nintendo will make some game that Wii cause everyone to buy that many Wiis.
Also they love to annoy us by making us enter a shitload of numbers.
we need to inspect your tits or your madam must leave.
Pardon the penises, Ms. Kyttie. They're mostly harmless.
Oh IRC!
Giving them too much credit, am I?
This and a mother brain like fear of the net is what has them doing this paranoid friend code stuff.
I've played my DS online less, because of the friend code stuff, its just annoying, and harks back to bloody passwords in games, like back in the NEs/SNES days. Its awful to have such a system when MS have such a simple set up with Live.
The chances of your Wii account being highjacked are low. Letting you make your own name and apply a few numbers would have been fine. Nintendo still have a lot to learn, problem is that when something is bad, no one inside Nintendo really says and admits so, in order to make things right.
So assuming everyone has 1 Wii, they can have 1,666,665 games with unique friend codes.
Am I doing it right?
For example, the first number(s) of your 16-digit credit card number identifies the card type -- Visa cards start with 4, American Express with 34 or 37, Mastercard with 51-55, etc.
If Nintendo wants to embed a 2-digit country code, and a 3-digit game code, they're left with 11 random digits. Having far more permutations than items is pretty common when there is an ordered numbering system.
Balls to Nintendo.
@ MaxVest:
That makes a lot of sense, with the regional codes and so on.
