That's me. I really like zombie stuff, pretty much every type of video game, drawing things (It's been like six months), play music in a band, and am a geek. Very much so, in fact. Also, I drew the Maxx that I'm using in my header. It's going to stay there until I hit some inspiration for some video game artwork.

My job is to make the computers and electronics at my work rise again from the dead. It's alright, as jobs go. Of course, since I'm heavily into computers, I either have or have had every major type of personal computer known to man... so if you ever want to discuss computer things, I can probably have a lengthy conversation about it.

I live in the mostly sunny Central Florida, and have for about 16 years now. I'm pretty sure I'm too old to be playing games anymore, but I really don't see that ending any time soon and hope it never will.

I have a gaming PC (C2D E6550 2.33Ghz/8800GTS 512), PS2, Dreamcast, N64, DS, PSP, Xbox 360 and PS3, but I have owned an Odyssey2, Aquarius, ColecoVision, NES, SNES, Genesis, GameBoy (as well as Advance and SP), PS1, Xbox, and a Wii as well. They've all either been broken, sold, or have been grudgingly traded in for the "next best thing" due to lack of funds to buy them outright.

I read fanatically, and even though I have plenty of different books there are several that are read over and over again. Pretty much anything that William Gibson or Terry Pratchett have done are my favorites, but there are plenty of writers that still get my attention. To be certain, I'm happy Rhianna Pratchett is writing for videogames.

Dead drive. Check. Out of warranty. Check.

So my nice clean white Wii finally stopped reading discs the other day. (edit: Now it's quit even taking discs) At least I still have Wiiware and VC games to tide me over until I can afford another drive for it. That and I still haven't started playing HL2: EP2 yet.

Also, must say that I'm rather enjoying Hot Shots Golf and Virtua Tennis for the PSP right now. My friend had them and for some reason I'd never played them even though I like both on a console. I can't believe I never got VT before now, since it's actually a really good translation of actual tennis game play (yes, I like playing tennis).

Afford another drive? Warranty or did you tinker with it and mod it?

Traded for it, no transfer of warranty or receipt.

how the hell would nintendo know if you traded it. They are good, but they aren't Tetsuo good.

I thought you couldn't get warranty without them knowing when it was bought (ie. no receipt). No other company has ever let me do that before. I mean, it was release a year and a half ago. Has anyone else on here done that?

I registered my serial number at nintendo.com and it required no proof of purchase. So, if the previous owner didn't register it, you should be fine.

Thanks for letting me know, Conrad... I tried registering on there after you posted but it's already been registered to the guy I traded with, whom I'm not in contact with unfortunately.

Apparently I get no breaks this week. At least I'm off Monday, so I can play HL2: EP2 all weekend. And at least the guvmint check should be direct deposited in the next week or so... so not long to wait.
