Platinum on Club Nintendo

Apparently there's this thing called club Nintendo that rewards you for making first party hardware and game purchases. Unless you're like Jburitto, if you haven't registered your stuff, there's a good chance you can get hold of some really interesting merchandise. After registering pretty much everything we own (excluding the Wii and a mounf of DS games), we came out with over 1000 Ninten-coins. Or maybe they just call them coins. I'll call them Ninten-coins. Well, I bout the Wii U port of "Kirby's Adventure" for 200 coins, because it's the qeuntessential Kirby game, it's pretty much the first game I ever played, and it's fun. Other than that though, they don't have any prizes we're particularly interested in. While pocketing the other 900 or so remaining Ninten-Coins, my eyes stumbled upon the rating system thing, and apparently we achieved "Platinum Status". I guess they'll be reviewing our status on July 1st, and we'll be recieving some sort of special Nintendo-related present. As I later discovered, it only takes around 600 coins to achieve platinum status (that's probably a lot steeper when you aren't sitting on 200 games and consoles you haven't registered), so we're saving the rest of our stuff for the following Ninten-year (each of these being from July 1st to Junr 30th of the following year). A warning to those who've registered their stuff but somehow are unaware: you only have two years to spend your coins before they expire. You can spend all you're coins and still achieve higher ranks (ranking system doesn't subtract from purchases), but everything has to be spent in a two year duration.

Anyway, when we find out what the prize is, we'll do an unboxing special (or the nearest equivalent) if it's physical, or a virtual review if it's a digital distribution. Most likely we'll have enough stuff to achieve Platinum for the next few years (especially because they'll finally be releasing Wii U games), so consider this an announcement for an anual show-casing special, where we'll pretentiously force our earnings in the faces of all foolish enough to enter the realm of this blog or click into any associated YouTube videos.

Anyway, I'll be back with updates. In the meantime, enjoy our meager stream of video content.

G2D Plays: Mario Party 4 (Session 2)

Round 2, and this time the commentary actually recorded. Featuring Anglerbe, Jburitto, Stevie Jay and myself.

G2D 60 Second Reviews: Checkers for Atari 2600

One of the new video segments we've been contemplating, Anglerbe was the first to actually transcribe the idea into a physical (or digital) product, and here are the results:

Central Coast Comic Con (C4) 2013 with Gamed2Death

Anglerbe, Jburitto and I went to Comic Con at the Ventura County Fair Grounds and did some stuff. Enjoy, and sorry for the delay! (This was recorded on September 7, 2013)

Gamed2Death Plays: Mario Part 4 (session 1)

Jburitto, Anglerbe, StevieJay and I decided to play Mario Party 4. Unfortunately, as I stated repeatedly in every place I was able to fit some sort of description of the video, the commentary was not recorded after the first episode, so all we can show is the gameplay. Even still, the experience was intense enough, and I believe raw Mario Party footage itself is interesting enough to hold attention for at least a little while, even if that means skipping throughout the later videos. Thanks for watching! And yes, we will be returning to this game for the same purpose fairly soon because of what Audacity did to our commentary (I guess I'll take partial responsibility for not checking to see whether or not the input randomly decided to change on us, but seriously).
