Hehe. That's me, playing SSBM from the 4th floor of the Mall of America. Now, Billy has his camera zoomed in. Imagine me having to look at a 19" TV screen from that high up!

I couldn't see ****. They pointed to where my character was, and I didn't see a thing. I tried jumping and what not, but couldn't see myself.

So I guess you could say the Wavebird will work from anywhere you can see the TV :) But the 4th floor has got to be close to 150 feet up, I was surprised it worked at all.

Hopefully tomorrow we can do some more testing. We REALLY want to take it on a ride at Camp Snoopy :D

Weren't you gonna do it with a huge screen thingy?

Good job testing it/getting into the site! But that would be hilarious (If I get what you meant at the end) to see someone get onto the ride with the WaveBird in their hand then they start playing "something":lol:

MOA is a ****ing ripoff. If you've been there, you know it costs like $300 to breath in there.

Anyway, they were saying it would cost us $500 to hook up the system to the big screen. Billy asked about internet access (not expecting it of course), and they said it's avaliable, for $1000.

Ya, the screen would've been really nice for the SSBM tournament. We had tons of people crowded around that area. All the sponsors and stuff backed out at the last moment, so this festival was lucky to go on at all. But we made it kick ass :D

G4 media is getting tons of footage. Too bad I don't get it. Gonna have to get a tape from em.

Yeah, MOA is really espensive. I know, I live in Minnesota and go there couple times a year. Still a good place to get a walk in. Wish I wou'd've known about htis, I could've driven an hour and checked it out.

that is strange, I have my cube in the my basement, and when I get about halfway up the stairs it stops working...but I cant see the cube from there, its in another room entirely, so Im thinking it dosent go through walls very well.
