uh, i've got four hours logged tonight dude.
it's been repeatedly suggesting I go outside for awhile.

wait, what???!?!?!

― UART variations (ex machina), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 06:11 (eighteen years ago)

i don't have a wii and you have to sit on the internet neglecting yours!!!!!

haha the system actually tells you to stop playing after a while? can you tell it to go fuck itself or does it keep bothering you?

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 06:23 (eighteen years ago)

just loading screens etc
it also tells you to make sure you have the strap done up and to make sure not to hit people in the face

To be fair to the Wii, it doesn't actually tell you to go outside, it just kinda hints at it. I think. It suggests you "take a break" and slaps up a picture of an open window, which, at first, I interpreted as "go teh fuck outside, you sad bastard".
Nowadays I look at the open window and read it as "OMFG stop farting into your duvet, IT FUCKING STINKS, OPEN THE WINDOW".

Wii is the bane of the fartsack gamer.

the little professor dude in CONTACT for the DS tells you to take a break every two hours in the save screen!

― TOMBO7 (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 15:41 (eighteen years ago)

I can't get my wifi working yet; I'll futz with it later tonight and broadcast wii code.
Gotta say; I'm really hooked on tennis. I made pro level in one sitting!

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 15:46 (eighteen years ago)

perhaps it is time for you to rest

-- Malcolm Tyler (68...), January 23rd, 2007 4:58 AM. (688) (later) (link)

heh. While we're on the subject, can somebody find me some "you should probably take a rest" screens? I know that Animal Crossing DS chides you for playing at, say, 2:30am. We could use these for potential yellowcard images.

tom is contact worth buying used?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 17:27 (eighteen years ago)

yeah definitely

― TOMBO7 (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 17:40 (eighteen years ago)

I'll take a picture of the "u should chill" screen tonight and host/post.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 18:11 (eighteen years ago)

I thought that picture hinted at a cigarette break! I assumed Nintendo were going for Wii Sports irony.

― melton mowbray's APOCALYPTO! (adr), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

I love that "hay take a break dammit" Wii screen! It looks like someone's broken into yr house and stolen yr Wii and jumped out the window.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 23:09 (eighteen years ago)

I like that can ILGers read anything into the Wii "take a break" screen, with the only exception being "stop playing video games for a while".

― teh_kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 10:45 (eighteen years ago)

here's the 'go to sleep' joke in Civ 3

Its funny because its tru!

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 23:10 (eighteen years ago)

Although it's obvious that it's telling you to take a break, it also serves as a good reminder to open your curtains when it's now 3pm on a Saturday and you're still sitting in darkness having been playing since the (wii?) small hours of the morning.

― CraigG (Craig Gilchrist), Thursday, 25 January 2007 08:23 (eighteen years ago)

yes but opening curtains in the day means i can't see the telly screen due to sunlight shinage.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 25 January 2007 10:59 (eighteen years ago)

i got a wii but i'm not nuts about it :(

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Thursday, 25 January 2007 20:20 (eighteen years ago)

it looks like it is implying that you pause the game and jump out the window.

why you would pause the game before doing this is beyond me. you will be either dead, in which case the gae might as well continue without you, or injured, and you will go to a hospital and someone will turn your game off, or just a kook, and someone will see you runningn around the street naked, sneak in your open window and steal your wii. i would.

no lol im working it again this year on the pr side, prob handing out credentials, u gonna be around

― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Monday, 13 July 2009 03:34 (sixteen years ago)

most def; I live about twenty minutes away by foot! We should make plans to hang. hit me off board.

― Why? I forget what biologists have suggested. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 13 July 2009 03:36 (sixteen years ago)

are you working with mso, max?

― Why? I forget what biologists have suggested. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 13 July 2009 03:37 (sixteen years ago)

yeah likely. technically were on retainer w/ aeg, but mso runs the show as u know.

― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Monday, 13 July 2009 03:41 (sixteen years ago)

my bro was interning @ mso this past spring

― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Monday, 13 July 2009 03:42 (sixteen years ago)

diggit. you doing all three shows? I'm mostly lookin' forward to seein' b-boys live. staying in the city or are they putting you up in a jc hotel?

― Why? I forget what biologists have suggested. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 13 July 2009 03:45 (sixteen years ago)

staying in city. i think im getting one of the vip passes that gives u free ferry service... dunno all the details tho. should be there all 3 days.

― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Monday, 13 July 2009 03:46 (sixteen years ago)

nice. i'm going to recommend NOT taking the ferry and doing PATH service instead unless you can connive some kind of VIP first-in-first-out thing. The ferries are apparently mob scenes and you could get to the PATH by foot instead in something like half the time, I think. Worth discussing.

― Why? I forget what biologists have suggested. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 13 July 2009 03:48 (sixteen years ago)

this reminds me that I need to see about getting passes myself; i have a gazillion people trying to get me to get them in and I don't know what I'm going to be able to get away with. Shooting for three pair, two pair VIP per.

― Why? I forget what biologists have suggested. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 13 July 2009 03:50 (sixteen years ago)

rumor is that the mso girls are gonna be stricter w/ the list this year but im not really in the loop

― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Monday, 13 July 2009 03:52 (sixteen years ago)

I should be able to work it out; long as I'm getting in with gal in tow, I'm cool.

― Why? I forget what biologists have suggested. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 13 July 2009 03:54 (sixteen years ago)

lol u should see the emails ive been getting. we mostly just handle publicity for one of aeg's contracted venues + help for major events like APW but were on the company memo list and btw this and michael jackson there is a lot of v stern preemptive silencing

― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Monday, 20 July 2009 17:48 (sixteen years ago)

the APW website note reads in its entirety:

"YES SADLY BEASTIE BOYS CANCEL. PLEASE SIT TIGHT WHILE WE MAKE NEW ARRANGEMENTS"

you can really taste the frantic

― ⇑⇑⇓⇓⇐⇒⇐⇒ΛΒΒΛŠΤΛΓΤ (forksclovetofu), Monday, 20 July 2009 17:54 (sixteen years ago)

btw, rumor is correct; we've just been told comps are gonna be at a premium.

yeah last year was kind of a free for all b/c i think they were trying to drum up buzz, they were letting in all sorts of shady bloggers in on the press list

― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Thursday, 23 July 2009 11:46 (sixteen years ago)

I kinda called this; it's about the only thing that make sense. He's local, he's got a new album on the way and he's one of only a handful of artists with the same level of cred/popularity/draw.
I'm pretty psyched; never seen Jay before!
