I called Nintendo this morning. I'm going to send my Wii to Nintendo so they can find out what the problem is and send me a replacement Wii. They're not 100% guaranteeing that I'm going to keep all my data so I transfered my data to an SD card. My Miis will go in both of my Wiimotes. But since I can't edit my Miis once they are transfered, I'm going to write down the layout of each one.

The label to mail my Wii should be at my house in four to ten days. I have to mail it back using UPS and in no time I'll be playing without any annoying black vertical lines. This will be crucial come Super Smash Bros. Brawl so I might as well get this over with right now.

After that, I went to our closest mall and bought Burnout Revenge (X360) for $29.99. I was told about three car accident around where I live by my parents. If you dont already know, Burnout is a game about racing/battling other cars for your own enjoyment. My parents did not know what game I was going to buy. One car accident involved pipes tied to the back of a diesel, a road, a mountain, a family of four behind the diesel, and the pipes falling. But that happened about ten years ago. The second was when I said "The stop signs have gotten bigger nowadays…". My parents said because a car hit two girls crossing the road around there. The third one was when police cars were driving home from a funeral. Supposedly, a border patrol officer was chasing a car and his car rolled over. So there I was, holding a Burnout Revenge game case… I felt guilty. But yeah… really weird stuff, man.

I'm currently awaiting the arrival of the label to return my Wii. In the mean time, my computer, Gamecube, PS2, DS, PSP, N64, and Xbox 360 should keep me company.
