Wii U and Storage Space

I've bought quite a few digital games on my Wii U and the 32 GB storage is absolutely woeful.  To make matters worse, the eShop insists that I have enough free space to BUY a game.  Absolutely insane to think about this restriction.

At first, I figured I could use my spare micro SD with an SD card adapter as back up but apparently, it's only usable on Wii mode!  What in the world?!  I swear, sometimes, Nintendo tries hard to be incredibly dumb!

So, at the end, it looks like I will have to buy a USB hard drive with an AC adapter OR with a Y-cable to use the USB power.  It seems that these drives have sleep modes if there isn't an independent source of power.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo revisited

I had only one purpose for revisiting the demo and that was to get the Chakram Launcher for Mass Effect 3.  I went about downloading the demo but the game refused to log me into Origin.  Fortunately, I found a fix here.  Go to Documents then My Games then Reckoning and look for the personal.ini file.  Edit the file and remove blaze_email=your@email.com.  Then restart the game.  It should all be fine.

To get the Chakram Launcher, play the demo and until you speak with the fateweaver in the overworld.  The demo will tell you that you have a 45 minute window to play the game.  Finish that 45 minutes and you'll receive the DLC.

So finally, I've cleaned up May Lee Shepard's text and re-uploaded it.  Read it here!
