Omasse is on a timer, but don't worry, it's pretty forgiving at the end.

You don't have to have Mii Plaza open to get StreetPass tags.  It works like any other game with StreetPass enabled does.  Just make sure your 3DS is on and that the StreetPass switch is set to 'enabled.'  You'll know it is because you'll see a green bar on the top of the touch screen that says "StreetPass" on it.  If it's blue it means you're connected to the Internet, which is fine, too.  You can tell if you've got a StreetPass tag even when your system is closed because you'll see a green light on the top right corner come on (if it's blue you got a SpotPass tag).

In Japan it's easy to get StreetPass tags since everyone lives on top of one another there.  But here in the US, where we're a bit more spread out, it's a little harder.  So Nintendo did something really cool.  At certain Wi-Fi spots, they set it up to save and store StreetPass tags, and you can get them by passing these Wi-Fi areas, even if there aren't any 3DSes around.  Places that have these Wi-Fi spots include McDonald's, Starbucks, and surprisingly, Home Depot!  Really, i was just at Home Depot last night and got 20 tags.  Not because there were 20 other people in the hardware store with a 3DS, but because their Wi-Fi stations had that many stored on them!

I've helped run many a StreetPass meetup locally, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.  I know a thing or two about a thing or two.

Oh come on, it hasn't been THAT long. :)  Less than ten years.

Yeah Golf had the steepest learning curve.

Because of the Wii Motion Plus controls, you can't wave the tennis racket around like you used to could.  You'll end up just smacking the ball far out of bounds.

I never really got into the Metal Gear games.  But then, even as a kid, I was more into the more whimiscal, silly games.  So on the NES I mostly played Capcom's Disney stuff, Adventures of Lolo, etc.

But my friend rented Metal Gear a few times so I did see him play it.  My favorite thing to do in the game was hide in the box.  And I like the fact that you could punch guard dogs, and they wouldn't react to you unless they actually saw you.

I did get MGS3, but only because of the Ape Escape mini-game.

Now if you'll excuse me, I fell asleep and the truck have started to move.

And I just got the disc version of Wii Sports Club last night, so expect a blog about that soon.

*raises hand*

It may not be my favorite Mario Kart in the series, but it certainly is the best looking one.

Who is your favorite racer?  Mine's Toad!  Always has been!

Wow that's weird.  I'm a big fan of the Muppets, but not so much Lady Gaga.  Her name cracks me up, though.

Yeah that Akiba game looks weird.  Let's see, there is a fat middle aged man and a hot female fitness model approaching.  Which one is the demon?  Hmmm...

Nope, nope, nope.

There is only one game in August that I'm looking forward to, and it won't come out until the end of the month.  And that's Prof. Layton vs. Phoenix Wright.  And I won't be able to play it the day it comes out (I do have it reserved so they'll hold it for me), because I'll be going out of town that weekend.  I have to take a business trip that weekend.  I'm going to Akihabara to fight demons.

(not really, I'm going to PAX)

This is a very good game.  Only problem I had was it was pretty hard.  But the music is really GOOD!  Yacht Club should make the next Mega Man game.
