Idiot Cube

My apartment needs internet, and much to my dismay Xfinity is the only ISP available. Anyone here have experience setting that shit up? What plan should I go with to get the highest acceptable-speed:not-getting-fucked-in-the-ass-with-a-hot-poker ratio?

I DID IT YES And it was all thanks to the help - yes, ACTUAL HELP - of the sole customer service agent with any semblance of competence. I need to find that man and marry him.

oh my god IT'S HAPPENING

Minor necro because the following rant does not deserve its own thread. I am sick and tired of people complaining about how the retro tracks are "too different" from the originals. Any bozo with an appropriate level editor can remake a level or track from their favorite childhood game; I think it's a show of true creativity on Nintendo's part when they can take something they made 10-20 years ago and make it FEEL new. The new N64 Rainbow Road is fucking gorgeous*. The city far below in the background makes the track feel like part of an actual world, instead of a random stretch of rainbow in a black void. The jazzed-up music is catchy and gives the impression of being in an amusement park or a CONEY ISLAND DISCO PALACE! And yet all I ever hear is people whining about how it "doesn't feel at all" like the original. Y'know what? FUCK you. We already HAVE the original! If you want it so bad, go dust off your N64, or if you don't have one use one of the bazillions of emulators out there. I think many of 8's retro tracks - particularly rainbow road - are proof that Nintendo is at least TRYING to make a new experience out of their older successes, rather than just slapping on a fresh coat of paint and calling it a day. I really hope these nostalgia-blinded whiners won't discourage them from this line of thinking. *that said I do agree with the near-unanimous decision that it's way too short.

I played like two hours of it a few months ago, so I couldn't tell you if it has lasting appeal. I will say that if you can get past the asstacular graphics, there's nothing quite as tense as hiding in grass six feet from a mustachioed robot who wants to make your skin into a fashionable tea cozy. It had its fair share of glitches when I played, and I have no idea how much work has been done since then.

AND THEN MY ORDER WAS SOMEHOW CANCELLED DESPITE ME CHECKING ON IT A FEW DAYS AGO AND BEING TOLD IT WAS TOTALLY STILL COMING why can't I strangle every single human being involved in the Comcast customer service phone tree

Oh hey, it's that guy!

RAAAAAAAAAZ

Well I can kinda see the logic behind it - the big fan thing should cool the whole interior. 'Course that only makes sense if you followed no instructions whatsoever.

>new Melee They just want Melee again, nothing new

okay

Managed to make my escape using a display case and some LED subwoofers. And then I found out that was pointless, since the starter kit I need to even begin the activation process won't arrive for another 2-4 business days. I think I'm gonna cry.

I am just one coaxial cable and one phone call away from freedom. If you don't hear from me in an hour, it means I've been eaten by the old asian guys at Fry's.

Just let me know when Nintendo wins at E3. Not that I'm biased or anything.

I prefer the Short Circuit version of that joke.

On that note, they are trying to get me to rent a modem from them. I'm hoping my dad has a spare one somewhere in his collection of technological odds and ends. It doesn't matter whether you rent from them or not. Since Comcast is basically one giant dick composed of a million other, smaller dicks, they'll come after you and try to charge you for "not returning their modem" even if you don't rent one once you leave where you are. wut I'm just going to...hope that doesn't happen, or that I can whine loud enough to get them to drop it. And I did find a modem, hopefully it'll arrive by Monday.

Corv why is your maid outfit in Veez's house? What are you not telling me?!
