I just started a new blog, Game Influence. With this new site I hope to cover different aspects of gaming news, add some reviews, and talk about some gaming memories that I have. Hopefully It will grow as I add more contributers to the site.

Saturday, May 26th, 2007Taking a Brake
Thursday, May 10th, 2007I have been off and will continue to be off my blog for a week or so. I have finals, Prom, and graduation to worry about. If anything really interesting comes up I might come back on to post, but for now all I had really planned was the usual rants.
Wii Opera Browser: Full Version is Out Toady
Thursday, April 12th, 2007Because of the power outage, My Wii shut down, Sense my Wii shut down not using it’s own software, as the power went back on the Wii was no longer was connected to 24 connect. So when I woke up there was no chance of me receiving a message until it was turned on. So with no oh so beautiful pulsating blue light to tell me I had a message, It wasn’t till I went on my computer that I got the news that the full versions of the Wii’s Opera Web Browser was available for download. So after seeing the news I rushed to my Wii, turned it on, and told it to update; after that I went to the Wii Ware section of the Shop channel, and saw that the new update added the ability for downloaded programs to update, So that’s exactly what I did. After downloading the new update, I found some cool new features. The message sent from Nintendo is as follows:
===========
Internet Channel
===========Now even more convenient to use!
The Internet Channel allows everyone to enjoy the Internet from their living room. We’ve just added some new features to make it even more convenient to use! Best of all, it’s still free!
New features include:
- Faster start-up time!
- Search button added!
- Text is clear, even when enlarged
- You can now hide the tool bar to see even more of the screen
It’s a great way to surf the Internet with family and friends, and allows you to experience the Internet in ways you never thought possible with your PC (on your TV!!)
To get this latest version of the Internet Channel, you’ll need to download it.
To download the Internet Channel:
First:
Press the “Update” button at the bottom right, and update the Wii console.
Next:
Select “Internet Channel from the Wii Ware section of the Wii Shop Channel. Download the new software and start surfing!
Please Note:
You can download the Internet Channel for free until the end of June 2007.
Parents who want to control access to the Internet Channel should refer to the Parental Controls options available in the Wii System Settings. To access these settings, return to the Wii Menu and select the Wii icon.
Despite these many improvements I still have a few problems with the browser. One is that the Opera Web Browser for the Wii still only supports up to Flash Version 7, which makes some sense because that is the most standardized version, but I still find some sites that require Opera Version 9. Also I know I’m dreaming here but it would be nice to have some ActiveX and Java Support for services like LogMeIn and Browser Friendly AIMs. Despite these few problems I have with it, I still like this new version, and seeing the new update I’m sure eventually Opera will get around to adding support for Flash version 9 and other support to a new update. Anyways with this new update I’m probably going to do some cool changes soon on my Wii Page, also, if I find there will be no support for Flash version 9, I may join up with some friends of mine to program a page that bypasses Flash detection either through a proxy or what have you.
And the Blog Begins
Thursday, February 15th, 2007All right, here we go, I thought before I posted about specific subject that I would talk a little about my self, so you can get a little insight on my point of view and opinions.
First of all as my dad, for the most part I’m democrat, as you may know through me or my site that my dad and I are chainsaw carvers, my dad started carving about 6 years ago and I followed about less than two years later. My dad tends to carve more wildlife carvings, and I tend to carve more abstract pieces, particularly Tiki-gods.
I love video games, particularly Nintendo. I currently have a NES, N64, Game Cube, Wii, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, and parts of a Virtual Boy. I also have a couple of non-Nintendo systems like Sega Genesis and Sega Game Gear.
I started school at Are Lady of the Immaculate Conception, then in the forth grade I was hit by a car and was in a coma for 2 days. After that I struggled in school for a while and my mother thought I
might do better in public school setting. After the fifth grade I went to public school for 3 years; I am the only child in my family that when to public school. After that, I followed my brother and went to Notre Dame. During my sophomore we were given the news that the school would close down by the order of the Archdiocese of Detroit, even thou they really only had the power to shut down the building as the school’s name and business was owned by itself(meaning the alumnae), one lie from the AOD after another, the school closed down. After that I went to Notre Dame Prep in Pontiac, being one of are rivals or Notre Dame I kind of felt like a sellout.
Now on to my site, my site started as a simple site on Yahoo’s GeoCities, then on September 16th 2003, I moved my site to RLK89.com and now here you are. Just recently I bought 4 additional domain names: rkuefler.com, chainsawmenofmichigan.com, and carvingsbyscott.com. Anyways I’d like to thank you for visiting my site and reading my blog and I hope you will check back.
