About Me
I've been playing video games for many, many years, starting at the innocent age of 4 (back in 1981). I have no affiliation to any one system; if a console has good games, I'm there. Currently own an NES (yes, it works), Genesis, DS Lite, Gamecube, PS2, Wii, and 360...oh, and a PC, but I rarely play games on it. With well over 300 games for all systems in my collection...pretty sure it's approaching 400 now.
As of late, my 360 has been getting as much play-time as my PS2 had. My poor Wii hasn't been touched in a long time...heh heh. He said "wii".
Hooray.
I said...hooray.
For my win on Chad's "The Great Retro Quiz! .23: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link":
'Bout time my knowledge of the red-headed step-child of the Zelda universe came in handy. Not counting the CD-i games...they are like the bald, albino street urchins that somehow made it into your house and refuse to leave even after you feed them rat poison.

Look at it there. The logo. It's so simple, yet so inviting. You know right away what it is, and all the magic it potentially holds upon your little gamer heart. But, the damn thing is playing you. Any attempts to access the wonders Club Nintendo holds is met with a swift boot to the groin. Here's how my attempts went: Want to register? Cool. Try a few times before I decide to save your info. Oh, look, you registered, but I logged you out. Try logging in again. I'll tell you that you entered the wrong password, even though you slowly typed it out, making sure you didn't have caps lock on and hit each key correctly. Or maybe I'll ask you to log in again, just for shits and giggles. Or, I'll completely ignore you and pretend you did nothing at all. 
Seen this way too many times. Wait, you logged in? Okay. Try to figure out how to get coins. Go ahead, I dare you. Yep, you may have registered games before...even though I'd only give you access to supposed "exclusive" images or wallpaper...but now you have to fill out surveys! Wheeee! 
Couldn't get a survey to load when I want back to get a screenshot, so here's Jean Luc expressing my anger. Oh, by the way, while you were figuring out what to do, I logged you out again. Ha. 
Got this one after completing a survey and being thanked for doing so. It didn't give me coins or record the survey. Yeah, refreshing me will really work. Don' t even bother, dummy. I'll just sit here for a bit while you slam your mouse in frustration. Go ahead. Oh...somehow you finished a survey. Okay, cool, let me just thank you for doing so, aaaaaand...whoops! Not going to record it! Ha ha! 
Oh, suck my dick... By the way...you need to log in again. But I'm not going to let you. 
Timed this one. 5 minutes, 3 seconds. Gah. All this so I can get the Game and Watch Collection. It's freakin' teasing me, reminding me of hours spent during my youth, playing a little orange, monochrome-screen handheld, ignorant to anything going on around me. 
After about three hours of off-and-on attempts, I've got most of my registered games entered, for a grand total of 580 coins. 220 away from owning my prize. And, oh yeah...none of my purchased VC or WiiWare games are showing up. Sure, they were there before under My Nintendo, but this is Club Nintendo, so they disappeared. Looks like I have to go onto my Wii and re-link my account up. Hey, Nintendo: 
Okay...I'm not an anteater. But "fuck you" anyway.

I just can't get the goddamn surveys to work now.
At least they've got that going for them...support people are decent. Now they just have to get this damn site in gear.
If my VC and WiiWare games linked up, I would definately have enough Coins for the Game & Watch Colletion.
Yeah, guess I shouldn't be surprised by it all. I just really want that DS game before the eBay hawks grab them all.
In recent years, they've had naff all unless you have many thousands of these stars, and guess what? Since last year, they can now depreciate! I have about 350 left, down from 2000. Dicks.
To be fair though, the EU service does ACTUALLY RUN :o
I even called NOA and they told me to try again >___>
How could they screw something like this up so bad?
Still don't have my VC and WiiWare games showing up.
Maybe try again...?
