It's a blog where I can post about whatever the hell I want. This usually consists of Beer, Movie, and Video Game reviews with a hint of Politics and a splash of Alton Brown.

I just got back from a business trip to New Hampshire where I was being trained on a product that I most likely will not be touching for the next 6 months. The best part: I am not going to pay a dime for the whole excursion.

WiiConnect24 Blows

Stamped: 10:10 PM

I realize that I may be a bit late to the party but I just have to say that WiiConnect24 sucks.

Me and my best friend have spent the last two hours trying everything to get Super Smash Bros. Brawl to allow us to connect in a friends only match. Here are the steps I went through:

1. Re-adjust Wii Internet Settings to match those of my router
2. Attempt to connect to WiiConnect24.
3. Fail
4. Double check everything and goto 2.
5. Goto 4, 10 more times
6. Give up and reset my router to use WEP instead of WPA for wireless security
7. Re-adjust Wii Internet Settings
8. Works first time
9. Launch Brawl
10. Open WiiConnect24 Menu
11. Attempt to join friends game
12. Fail with error code: 86420
13. Goto 10, 10 more times
14. Give up and start searching the web for answers
15. Attempt to use port forwarding to forward ports 27900 and 29900 to the Wii (as recommended)
16. Retry Connection
17. Fail
18. Goto 16, 10 more times
19. Get pissed, give up
20. ...
21. NO FUCKING PROFIT

This is an unbelievable amount of effort only for it to end in failure. The worst part about it, even using all the fucked up settings that I ended up putting on my router, I was able to connect to a "With Anyone" match with no issues.

What. The. Fuck.
