These were all introduced with the update after recovering from the hack. They're kind of annoying, and it'd be great if you could fix them.
-First, when you post from the Quick Reply box at the bottom of each page, for some reason it automatically double-posts every single time. In SeaMonkey, I get a "do you want to leave this page" warning now (which I did not get before), and if I say "No" then it posts only once as it should, but doesn't display it on screen (since saying "No" means that I'm still looking at the quick reply box with writing in it, not the new post posted to the thread). Then I have to reload the page to get the post to be viewable, if I want to do that (and hit "Yes" this time on the double prompt boxes which pop up).
In Firefox, I don't get any warning prompts, so it simply double-posts automatically, with no way around it, every time that I (and others) post from the quick-reply box. Sure, I can, and do, then delete the duplicates, but it's kind of annoying to have to do that after every time I post... this needs to be fixed.
-Second, the site still doesn't properly register me as logged on on the main forum list page (tcforums.com/forums). I appear as logged out there, but after clicking on any of the forums, then I automatically log in. This is kind of annoying because the "new posts" stuff doesn't work since that relies on you being logged in, and also because this means that you can't see if any posts were made in Forum 5 unless you click through to Save Tendo City and look there. This really should be fixed.
-Last, the Advanced "new post in current thread" page is all messed up. That is, if instead of posting in the quick reply box I Instead press "Go Advanced", this line is at the top of the screen "Warning: Only variables should be passed by reference in ..../newreply.php on line 389", and I see this below the text-input window (see attachment).

I don't think I even need to say that this is OBVIOUSLY not right. And yes, it did not used to be like this, before the hack and upgrade that obviously messed things up. Fortunately the text-input window itself works correctly, but everything below it is a mess. This looks exactly the same on either Firefox or Seamonkey (Firefox is shown in this screenshot).
Hopefully you read this, etoven, even if you don't post here much... while the site is usable as it is, these bugs are annoying and should be fixed. Thanks.
Anyone planning on getting one soon? I'm not. No way can I afford that now, and anyway I'd get a Wii U before either of those, for sure. They are tempting of course (new tech!)... but no, not now. I'll need to get an Xbox One someday, though... I want to play Crimson Dragon!
Early this week, I picked up a copy of Rhythm Heaven for $5 in a bargain bin on a lark. (By which I obviously mean the bin itself was on top of a lark.)
I should preface this by saying the Wario Ware series has, as of late, been upable to recapture the magic of the first few games. They are mini-game collections, yes, but lack that "a bunch of mini-games back to back" factor.
Well, it seems that team ended up making a new series, and that's what Rhythm Heaven IS! You start off on each "tier" playing 4 mini-games, then they are all tossed together in a "Remix" that's basically Wario Ware, but with one difference. That difference is the rhythm, the rhythm is gonna get ya. You see, every mini-game has a song, a beat. You can play each mini-game, technically, just by listening to the beat and not even looking at what's going on (though the visual cues do still help). The remixes create a whole new tune to tie in a bunch of previous mini-games, so it doesn't get stale. It is also COMPLETE INSANITY.
I fell in love with this impulse buy within a day. I then went back to the store and picked up a Wii game released just last year called Rhythm Heaven Fever. I have no idea how I missed out on this gem! This is one of the best best things ever ever!
This is my new obsession, but wow, the demands on your rhythmatrix are beyond insane. The very last Remix remixes EVERY LAST ONE of the mini-games into pure madness.
Just to see if it could be done, I looked up remix 10 on youtube. These people are divine! Watch, and weep!
Welcome to this. Stephen Colbert had his people set up a spam bot which takes positive reviews from Rotten Tomatoes, replaces the names with Fox News names, and then posts it as "positive reviews" of Fox News.

Awesome season Red Sox... no one thought that you'd win the World Series back at the beginning of the year, and no experts thought that the Sox had a chance, but you proved everyone wrong and did it, and with a World Series win at home for the first time in 95 years! Just awesome. I'm very happy. :)
Also, I know this is from game one, but I don't think it's possible to look at this without laughing...
(Note -- this is a moment after the pitcher (top) waved his hands, as if he was saying "I've got this ball." And then... well, you see what he did next: nothing.
It'll be coming to PC as well. That's great, as that's the version I have. Further, it'll be released as an update as well as a full product, for those who already own the game. For me, since I own the PC version as well as the DLC, this update comes to $5. That's something I'm willing to pay for all these improvements (such as the DLC actually being streamlined into the main story as it should have been). It seems the PC version will have tablet support to basically copy the Wii U gamepad functionality, for those who want that.
