You don't need a strategy guide!

All you need to know is: JUMP ON THE TOADS HEAD WHEN YOU FIRST GET TO THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM AND JUMP AGAIN TO GET THE SECRET CHEST THERE BEFORE YOU ZONE. Only time you can ever get it if you want all the hidden chests in the game. Most people only ever realize this is something they can't get once they're 75% through the game and are looking at a guide.

Also in the Nimbus city, after you clear the castle, when exiting hold right on the D-PAD and walk to the right hand side of the cloud and continue to walk along the wall until you walk across an invisible area to another cloud with a chest containing MOTHA ***' WINGED KOOPA SHELL.

Don't ask me how I remember this.

Ah yes. Culex, boss music from FFIV, best "cameo" boss ever.

Ok after looking in the net b4 destroying my book I found a site that has the strategy guide. It's not in PDF but I think looking at it in a picture viewer works as well as Adobe's PDF reader. I will send you the link personally.

When using the PS3 controller wirelessly is there a way to disable/separate it from the PS3 console so it doesn't turn on every time u turn on the controller?

need to first plug it in to your PC and register via bluetooth (sync) to your PC first i believe

but the thing with ps3 remotes is i think they're always looking for ps3s i may have had this problem before. i have to plug into my ps3 and turn on the controller though plugged in anytime i bring on of my controllers from one of my ps3s to the other ps3

unplug your ps3

you shouldn't leave things plugged in all the time anyway when off, even the idle amp pull is taking power.

when somebody likes me (who uses a lot of electronic devices) leaves things plugged in 24/7 when not in use it tends to draw a lot of power.

I doubt Sony's biggest worry when designing the ps3 was to make sure the chip scanning for the controller's signal use the lowest amperage possible. But that aside it's still the easiest solution, and guaranteed.

Just about every electronic device has still pulls a low amount of electricity when in idle or off mode. If you're like me and have 200 + devices, it really does save money to unplug them. I just have everything on a backup power supply unit and I unhook that from the wall in both my living room and bedroom before I go to sleep or leave the house.

If you don't believe me, try it for 2 months. You'll probably save $5 or more on your electricity bill.

For most $5 probably isn't worth it, however to protect from spikes and if your area is prone to power outtages it's best to unplug them.

I once had so much stuff plugged in via a 3 way extension cord (and 3 power strips) that I blew the gfi, the fact that it pulled that much before getting back on power up and not the fuse was hilarious (in retrospect). At the time it sucked because I didn't know what was wrong, or that the box I plugged into was on the circuit for that gfi.

Interestingly enough though due to the way the power grid works, it's cheaper for most people to use more energy at night (than to say during the day) so do things like laundry past peak times to save money :D

the best way to test the electric in the house is load it all, then bring in a thermal camera, take a picture.

If the wiring isn't super hot, you're good on random failure, now as for failsafe ie: gfi's (etc) it's hard to say, idk how much UK code differs from here, or if your brother even did it to your code.

As long as he didn't use uber cheap aluminum wiring, you should be good though, I know some pretty damn stupid electricians.

230-240, doesn't really matter, it's rms and within tolerance.

if you have wiring problems (lose connections etc) it will cause resistance, creating heat.
