The one thing that will be ruining our summer outside smoking sesh's.. by helzbellzin trees

Purchase a 2L plastic bottle of your favourite sugary (diet pop won't work) drink roughly half of it. Follow this easy to use diagram fill it with honey/syrup/sugar/etc and then leave it on the other side of your yard.

When these assholes have the choice between smoke filled purgatory and sugary heaven they will get stuck inside the bottle and die. I usually catch 20+ per day. And have never been bothered by wasps.

Word of caution this will attract wasps from the surrounding area and near your trap will likely not be safe for children, pets or [6+]s. I am lucky enough to have an alley behind my house and I litter the place with these.

Revised Wii U controller image leaks to Twitter - actual analog sticks, other minor changes shown by mehgandavidin gamernews

Graphics are not a sign of improvement in a franchise.

I was a very large battlefield fan. Since Battlefield 1942 (which in itself wasn't even that new or innovative) there hasn't really been any ground breaking improvements in controls, gameplay or story telling. The frostbite engine used in BF3 is gorgeous and Origin is a pile of shit. New guns and addition shades of hardware rendered lighting is hardly a justification for demanding $60 yearly to keep up with an otherwise stale franchise.

Now in contrast I also love the Metroid series. From the original NES masterpiece to Super Metroid (admittedly one of my all time favourite video games) there wasn't a substantial improvement. But looking at the Metroid Prime series The evolution to a 3D environment and the expansion to a much more exploration based game system was a huge improvement. Then when this franchise was released on the wii it was the first time I ever felt a console FPS even came near the intuitive and fluid control scheme of a mouse and keyboard. But graphically not that much more impressive than its younger Gamecube brother.

Similar arguments can be made for franchises such as The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario. Both unstoppable titans of the video game industry. Where as there is no shortage to the number of generic FPS garbage available for all of the top of line hardware nowadays.

I found a lot of titles on the wii to be incredibly fun, original, involved and artistic.

Hopefully running on 7 year old hardware keeps costs low and Call of Duty: (n+1) away.

I never really noticed a huge graphical difference between the gamecube and wii.

In fact there were a lot of wii games I preferred to play with the gamecube controller.

Amazon cancelled my 5 month old car dock order, "unable to source the item" by burgers241in GalaxyNexus

This post again?

Down vote me if you would like but I am personally sick of hearing about canceled pre orders for these bloody docks.

The new 2012 Riders wallpapers are here! by Slappy_MC_Garglenutzin riderville

[–]Wilibus 1 point2 points ago

No 1920x1080...

No mobile options...

Not that I would ever use an "official" wallpaper but it doesn't appear that much effort was applied to this. I do like that Patrick is holding a ball though. I bet he is the only LB in pro football that is regularly pictured with a ball in hand.

Friend found this in her DQ deposit yesterday. I traded her a toonie for it. by ab26in canada

[–]Wilibus 21 points22 points ago

I work at a cell phone store and recently some people in a taxi with out of province plates came into my store to activate a pay as you go phone with a zip lock baggy full of these.

Seemed perfectly legit to me.

Good places to eat? by Jnoggynogin regina

Bocados in the east end for burgers on cheese buns. Plus their wings are quite delicious.

As a Dreddit scammed I can say I am generally polite to my marks before and after I have all their possessions. After all they allow me to play this glorious game for free.

+1 for Pure Grid. It was one of the first apps I ever bought and it was worth every penny.

It is the same hull though. Right in the description it states that.

Problem: "No Internet Connection" after leaving wifi by DragonHunterin GalaxyNexus

[–]Wilibus 1 point2 points ago

I am on 4.0.4 CM9 with a GSM Nexus. I get this issue occasionally as well. I am by no means an expert in the field but I find turning on airplane mode and turning it off generally fixes the issue. Kind of a pain in the ass, but easy enough to deal with.

Stock Music App Alternative? by Asdfheroin Android

The CM9 Music app is great. I don't have a link to the apk, but it is fantastic and doesn't actually require CM9, just ICS.

Why is there ATT branding on my One X? Why is Apple the only manufacture that can use their own box, have no branding on the device, and have no bloatware shipped with the phone? Why aren't Android manufacturers following suit? by Red-Soxin Android

[–]Wilibus 2 points3 points ago

How would Apple be able to compete selling unsubsidized hardware?

It might just be that I am Canadian and likely 3 out 5 iPhone users in this country have no idea what their device actually retails for, but I highly doubt Apple would have a fraction of the market share in the mobile phone industry if their prices were $500-$600 more than a carrier subsidized device.

Too many Nokia exclusives? by fruitlewpsin windowsphone

[–]Wilibus 0 points1 point ago

This is a large concern for me as well. I am currently an Android user (HTC Magic+ to Samsung Captivate to Galaxy Nexus) and I am weighing the pros and cons of purchasing a Windows Phone.

I work for Rogers in Canada and will likely have a chance to get a really good deal on a Nokia Lumia 900. I am also considering trying to track down a used Samsung Focus for a good price. Though with all this app exclusivity bullshit it is kind of turning me away from WP7 entirely.

Will it likely be possible to sideload (legitimately or otherwise) these apps onto a non-Nokia device?
