gavel - Image 1Twenty one years is simply nowhere near enough time for murdering an 18 day old child just because he interrupted a videogame, and how does this piece of slime get away with manslaughter? Pretty damn revolting stuff, makes you just shake your head and wonder what's going on with our legal system.

Details after the jump.

On Oct. 26th, 2007, Rene Edward Barrios was charged with looking after his girlfriends 18 day old infant who lay sleeping in the next room. Presently, the infant started to cry, sending Barrios into a rage, pausing the gam, he went into the room, grabbed the child, shook him and then hit him before returning to his gaming session. By the time Barrios went back to check on the baby he was blue and unconscious, the poor child died at the hospital and Barrios was immediately arrested.

Barrios has plead guilty to manslaughter and will be sentenced to serve between 10.5 and 21 years in prison.

If you're new to Wii homebrew, you might find this extremely useful. Called the Easy Homebrew Installer, it preps up your SD card with all the necessary files to run the Twilight Hack and the Homebrew Channel on your Wii. The program is similar to big bang theory's own Wii Brew SD Installer, only more compact.

Unlike the Wii Brew SD Installer, it doesn't come with Wiibrew programs, you'll have to download them yourself. Fortunately, we have a lot of them in our download archives. Easy Homebrew Installer just provides you with the Wii Homebrew Channel and the save files from Twilight Princess. Here's a vid to see how to use the program:

Homebrew - DepanBrew Beta 6.5 - Image 1When dealing with homebrew, it's probably inevitable that you come upon some hiccups from time to time and mess up your system inadvertently. This new program from French Wiibrew developer CashMan may help you on a certain occasions when this happens.

  • I want to gain access to my Wii settings but my Wii is semi-bricked ! (post only the parameters)
The program's interface is point and click, so it's simple enough. Here's the changelog since the initial release:

Beta 6.5

  • Added English language, for the Wii has chosen a language other than French
  • Screen of loading at the exit of the homebrew
  • Added folder for Wii Homebrew Launcher

Beta 6

  • Still Targets

  • Vertical Moving Targets
  • Crazy Targets
  • Crisscross Targets
  • Teleporting Targets
