Metroid DS Tuesday night

**Tom Chick** · 03-28-2006, 10:55 AM

Anyone for a bit of Metroid DS tonight, Tuesday, March 28th? How about 7pm California time, which is 10pm Other Coast time. Add me to your friends list if you haven't already:

2706
5043
7825

I'll have the game up at 7pm/10pm and we'll start at 7:15/10:15. Confirm here if you know you'd like to join us or just drop in if you can make it.

-Tom

I'll jump in for a few matches, I'm not very far in the game so I'm stuck with the basic fighters I think :(

**Marcin** · 03-28-2006, 11:21 AM

I picked it up today, would be great to hop right into multi.

**extarbags** · 03-28-2006, 11:31 AM

I'll be home at around 10:30. I've only barely even touched the game, so this should be ridiculous.

**Ergo** · 03-28-2006, 11:31 AM

Too bad the DS doesn't support WPA, otherwise I'd join in.

**BDGE** · 03-28-2006, 11:46 AM

I'm afraid that if I don't meet up tonight then I'll miss out forever. I never raced a single person on my friends list in Mario Kart.

Also, does it take an anyone else an abnormally massive amount of time to join a pickup game online? I swear I can't tell if the several minute spans of searching are normal or not, either way it stinks...

**Tom Chick** · 03-28-2006, 11:49 AM

Yeah, the search time for pickup games are redonculous.

**Wholly Schmidt** · 03-28-2006, 11:51 AM

Thanks for the thread Tom! Unfortunately, I work second shift, so I can't get away to play until around 9:30 Left-coast/12:30 Right-coast. If anyone's still up for playing around then we can start up a game, or on the weekend some time. Sorry to complain about how multiplayer sucks without organized games and then not be able to make it to them when we try.

**Marcin** · 03-28-2006, 03:39 PM

Ok, got my code:

1375
0697
1108

**Wholly Schmidt** · 03-28-2006, 04:40 PM

Looks like a long night at work for me, so if any of you were thinking about checking back later tonight when I'd be around, it looks like I won't. Thanks if you were, we'll have to set up another time.

**Jackstar** · 03-28-2006, 05:43 PM

I'm in on this.

3737
2970
0827

For those of you who haven't unlocked any or all of the other hunters yet, if you beat someone in multiplayer who is using that model, it's yours. I'm willing to take a dive if enough people need a hand.

Or, you might just blow me up fair and square. I kind of suck still, damn these sausage fingers of mine.

**Tom Chick** · 03-28-2006, 06:56 PM

Okay, a game is up. Remember that we can only play four at a time, so if you don't see a game, feel free to host one. I don't think any of the games go for more than fifteen minutes, so if you stick around, we should be back before long.

-Tom

**Jackstar** · 03-28-2006, 07:00 PM

I see you, Tom, but I can't connect to you. I blame my router. I'll try to host and see if that works.

**Tom Chick** · 03-28-2006, 07:03 PM

Nathan's in! Put your DS on a DMZ!

-Tom

**Nathan** · 03-28-2006, 07:05 PM

I haven't had to do any DMZ stuff so far, but it's not like that means much.

**Jackstar** · 03-28-2006, 07:06 PM

Mine is on a DMZ, it still chokes. I think I need to go shopping.

**Tom Chick** · 03-28-2006, 07:06 PM

Actually, can you even put a DS on a DMZ? I was just giving him a hard time.

We have forgeforsaken now. Just one more!

-Tom

**Marcin** · 03-28-2006, 07:06 PM

Error code 86420....sigh. Why can't shit just work?

Researching what that means now...

And I have a USB dongle. Can't DMZ the dongle, but I have assorted ports forwarded and whatnot. ARGH.

**Tom Chick** · 03-28-2006, 07:07 PM

It probably means just try again. I get weird error codes every now and then.

-Tom

**forgeforsaken** · 03-28-2006, 07:09 PM

Yeah I had to try twice, got an error the first time. And somone hurry up and join!

**Tom Chick** · 03-28-2006, 07:10 PM

BTW, the voice chat actually works. Whoda thunk?

-Tom

**Marcin** · 03-28-2006, 07:11 PM

Wow, voice on DS...the mind boggles.

I'll keep trying. I just forwarded all of my UDP ports. Who knows....

**Tom Chick** · 03-28-2006, 07:12 PM

Try taking out the chip and blowing on it.

<kidding>

-Tom

**Jackstar** · 03-28-2006, 07:16 PM

I've connected to people before, but it's always been flaky, and this time it's just not working. There's one more thing I can try but I think I'm out of it for tonight.

**Marcin** · 03-28-2006, 07:17 PM

I thought the dongle was supposed to fix this shitfuckery. 896420 over and over. I can see the people on, I just saw you toggle through 3 different maps......can't connect.

So far my success with Nintendo WiFi hovers around 40%. That's not very hawt.

**Tom Chick** · 03-28-2006, 07:23 PM

We just played a game (I cheated!), but we'll hang out for five minutes to see if you guys can connect.

-Tom

**Marcin** · 03-28-2006, 07:28 PM

86420. Are you on the Defender map with Nathan and Forge? Is it at least retrieving THAT much correctly?

**Jackstar** · 03-28-2006, 07:33 PM

Next time I'll just go to a McDonald's. Then my humiliation will be complete.

**Marcin** · 03-28-2006, 07:38 PM

Sigh. Back to CoH. On my wireless PC, I might add. Which works flawlessly.

I tried Tom's game 6-8 times, and jafd's game 3 times. I give up for the night.

**BDGE** · 03-28-2006, 07:50 PM

hope u guys are still playing. I paused oblivion just to frag you fools.

PS i'm probably listed as 'no depth' online.
