Tournament starts tomorrow. I will kick off the tournament around 12:00PM PST to 3:00PM PST. Please make sure you are available around those times as i will call those matches on the LIVE coverage. Remember that if i call those matches between then, you must be available 10 minutes prior to the match and 10 minutes after the match. Either say “Lets GO” or “That was a good match”. If i get less than half of the participants available during the tournament, the Tournament will be considered closed and no prizes will be awarded.

I will start scheduling matches in the next few days before the tournament starts on the 1st of September. If any of you have a particular time or day that you want to play, please work it out with your opponent. Otherwise, i will schedule random times and if you are unable to make it, you will be disqualified. So its best that you work it out with your opponent on when the best time to battle. Then send me a PM or an EMAIL so i can schedule the matches. 1st round should be scheduled no later than September 6th, 2008
– If you install a data system or a console device needed for its funcionamientoFirmware of different region without changing the region
  the console, get a semibrick.
  I recommend changing the region of the console to match the
  Data region of a console system or device needed for its funcionamientoFirmware and avoid future problems.
Wiibrew developer Beardface has released the latest version of WiiPhysics, a physics playground for the Wii. Basically it lets you doodle things on screen and the program subjects your doodles to the laws of physics.
This is one of the more interesting, not to mention fun, homebrew I’ve seen for the Wii. Anyway, you don’t have to take my word for it, you can watch a video of the Wiibrew in action down below. Download link’s right after that. First, here’s what’s new in this version:

Added ability to fix camera to an object for easy following around world
Hit 1 on any object to attach camera (works best on circles and squares)
(To detach, just hit 1 anywhere on the screen)
Added sky, with dynamic clouds
(You now know when you are in freeze b/c the clouds stop moving)
Fixed jumping of rectangles on draw
Lots of bug fixes
2008.08.25 – v2.0.0
Added pen joint for moving dynamic objects
You can now “Throw” objects
Added distinction between objects that are frozen and mobile to make it obvious to the user whats frozen
