    I know I was in this last year, but between being in the main Secret Santa and the Homebrew situation, I'm not able to join.

    What's this now?


    Are there any other Wii owners in New Zealand thinking of joining in on this?
    I know of at least one who might be interested, but there's a decent chance of us exchanging christmas presents already...

    Is there a website where I can view all the VC/WiiWare games?
    www.vc-reviews.com keeps well up to date with Virtual Console releases, and has a sister site WiiWareWorld doing the same with Wiiware.

    The new update adds an auto update. So if I update my Wii, any future updates that kill homebrew will be downloaded before I can do anything about it.

    Yeah, that's not happening.

    Yeah, that's not happening.

    Though none of the "fixes" will ever be permanent. I think Nintendo is just trying to irritate people into not using homebrew, rather than making it impossible to.

    There's already a workaround to it.

    That's for the Twilight Hack, which I've already done. You don't need to use it again after you install the Homebrew channel.

    I think I'd miss all the other official channels that refuse to work before applying the update than the Homebrew Channel. The only thing I would really use is the region-free app, but I don't have any non-local games yet anyway. I should play SCUMMvm more...

    The worst part is that you can actually go through and look at your transaction history. I think I'm well above $300 spent on VC games alone.

    While checking for new signups, I found this jewel in the vcsecretsantas inbox.
    Hello,

    My name is Weylin Morton, I have been diagnosed with a deadly ailment that
    was discovered very late. It has defied all form of medicine. I have only
    about a few months to live according to medical experts. I have not particularly
    lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself
    but my business. I want you to assist me in disbursing funds to charity organizations.
    Please reply me through my private email immediately so i can explain further.
    Email: (Removed)

    Be blessed my beloved,
    Weylin Morton

    My God maybe some of those "funds" could be distributed to the AbsoluteZero Video Games and Big Tee Vee Organization.

    Unfortunately, there were not enough users from your country registered for this year's Virtual Console Secret Santa. You will not be able to participate.

    Please send an angry letter to Nintendo about how dumb it is that you can't gift across countries within the same region. Because it is seriously dumb and if it weren't for that you'd be getting your secret Santa on.

    Sorry again

    Thats that! I don't own any of the other Sonics, because I grabbed the XBox Mega Collection (and also the Mega Man collection - which is why it's not on my VC).

    Also - I hope it's cool if my Santee doesn't mind waiting a couple weeks. I'm no deadbeat, but dammit, I can't be gifting until much closer to the actual holiday season.

    Do most people hold off until then?

    Sorry if anyone has been trying to send me gifts, but my Wii is sitting here at my parents house and I'll be checking up on it on weekends till I come home from school.

    Anyway, Santa and Santee numbers have been added, so send away! I'll be sending as soon as I figure out what to get my Santee.

    How long does it generally take for people to receive gifts once they've been sent?

    I gifted my brother Paper Mario last Christmas, and I think it took about twenty or twenty-five minutes for the note with the gift link to show up on his message board. (That's what I remember him telling me.)

    So, within half an hour would probably be a reasonable estimate. Probably less.

    Big thanks to CoJoetheLawyer for World of Goo! Impale Sticky is perplexing but this game is awesome in every regard so far

    Far as my Santee goes, you should have gifts by next weekend, as that's when I get paid! Huzzah!
