Took a shower
read about Galileo
Added songs to my ipod
Searched Yahoo! Hong Kong auctions.
put more crazy acid stuff on the bottom of feet.
Ow Ow Ow OW.
Didn't you say earlier there was like...no skin or something on the bottom? Ouch. :-\
slept....
I cut a bunch of skin off, warts growning under my skin.
Then I put this acid stuff on it, I accidently cut INTO the flesh in one part, instead of just cutting off deadish skin.
Booked a hotel in Shikoku for our short trip in 3 weeks.
Brushed my teeth.
Put my stuff in the dryer.
Slept, I love snow days.
took photos of my new finds.
Ate an oatmeal-chocolate chip cookie.
Got my toe fixed, came home and played my new games...and also took pics of them
Just got home from work with the family
so I just got out the vehicle, put stuff aside
and logged onto see what I missed conversation
wise here on FW.COM
;D

I've never seen XP in another language before :P
I was reading...If I ran the Zoo by Dr. Suess ;D
My grandpa is the mayor of our town, and he read like...3 Dr. Seuss books to the elementary kiddies today :P
Doing honors math homework while browsing FW. YES, I REALIZE IT'S LIKE 9PM.
What does time have to do with anything?
I just sounded like a philosopher or something right there..time....is....non existent, man. It's a ...figment of our imagination..
It's only 8:18 here :P
Pet (or petted?) my dog when it came home from the vet, she looked extra sad because she's a basset hound :( Then I got an orange soda.
Wrote down (x+3) (2x+3)
Quadratic equations are boring...
Is that even a complete answer? :P
It can be. Depends what he's doing
Yes, it is. It was one of the two equivalent expressions I had to write for some square divided into some other rectangles and squares... kind of hard to explain.

Oh! I think I remember something like that.
ARGH. Geometry is sooo boring. Fuck simplest radical form, fuck Area of a triangle.
bh/2 FTW
You're lucky, I'm in regular algebra, and I'm barely passing.
That doesn't always work, though. Argh they give you the length of the base then you have to find some other stuff and that Heron thing only works sometimes and argh.
Some of what you learn is practical and applicable in life. Much of it is just busy-work bullshit with very little real world utility unless your career is in a very specific field, in which case you'll probably have programs and job aides to do much of it for you anyways. I had geometry, trigonometry, and calculus in high school and took up to calculus in college. I'd probably say geometry is the most useful.
Oh yeah we did stuff like that; the a^2+b^2=c^2 for right triangles. Yeah in math... B. My problem is I tend to mess up just one step, which in turn screws everything else up. I need to be more attentive. :/
That's what happens to me. I have a B- in algebra right now...I did bring it up from an F though...so that's a step.
I have an F. I just retook a test, so it should go up.
Teacher is funny, but he talks to fast, erases right after he writese on the board, and stands in front of the writing while it is written. Also my notes are bad.
I used to have a C, but I really concentrated and managed to ace the test over exponential relationships, so now I've got a B. I want to get an A, but final grades for this semester are this friday...
Our teacher grades tests really weird....We have like 80 problems on a test...I got like 30 right...and I got a 79%
Oh god I hate math, one of my major concerns about choosing a major was the least amount of math classes I had to take.
The problem is you can't really get involved with math like you can with, say, writing. Which is why I have an A in english. I can actually relate to the topic.
Yeah, I go to our high school for my English class. I excel in everything, pretty much, except algebra..with the exception of Social Studies sometimes...because I get bored very easily in that class.

Download a graphing calculator program for your PC. Plot some functions, mess with the variables and see how the graph changes, fiddle, tinker and experiment with the thing in general. That helped me out in trig & calc. It's a lot easier when you can visualize things in your mind, and you get to know how does every single thing in the equation/function/whatever interact with each other. Most people learn more by experimentation, which standard math courses usually won't provide, unless you do it yourself ;).

Sounds like the grading system of the standardized college entrance test around here. You start with a fixed score, correct answers give you more points and incorrect ones punish you by subtracting them, and the score seems to grow in a non linear fashion. As far as I know it's been done that way to discourage answering at random (so that you only answer what you really know). Thing is, I discovered that you can get a higher than average score (pretty good in fact) by answering about half of the questions right and omitting the rest (basically make sure that every question that you answer is indeed right).

It's not even that. I answered all the others wrong...(well, guessed) AND not everyone was graded the same way.
See if you can get your hands on the grading equation used. Here it's like asking for the chemical formula of Coke, or Colonel Sander's secret flavor recipe of 11 herbs and spices, it's a really well guarded trade secret. In cram schools and such linear approximations of the formula are used, but these won't quite match IRL results and nobody outside the Ministry of Education really knows the real thing.
I hate English. At least math makes some ammount of sense :|
Took my son to the doctor for the 1 year examination.

Sounds like your teacher is grading on a "curve." In the curve system, the highest score achieved by a student in the class sets the grading bar for the rest of the students. I can only assume that your whole class did quite poorly. :P

I think she's just nuts :P I got one of the worst scores in the class, I think I was the 5th lowest out of like 19 :-[
Got home from school
Wasted my time going to the local high school to tutor, and no students showed up.
You seem like you'd be a fun teacher :P What subjects to you teach/tutor?
Well I don't teach anything, yet. I'm a college junior, history secondary education major. I want to teach high school history, but I also plan on getting certified to teach English as a foreign language. I want to live abroad and teach English, hopefully in Germany, Israel, or Japan.
Anyway, I normally tutor in history but I'll sort of take anything that comes my way in this program. I've tutored history, English, and even gave science a shot. Science didn't work out so well :-[ .
I'll just make a school thread, so this one stays on topic.
I took a nap ahh just woke up some minutes ago.
Just got back from taking our new puppy to the vet. She has roundworms... :(
Spent 4 hours at a meeting.
Added stuff to my ebay store 8)
Tried to sleep. I can't :'(
Hey me too I'm wide awake so I'm playing some winning eleven.
Loaded my iTunes library onto my R4.
Ran.
For sports or ran away from somebody?
I just changed dirty diapers. Nice, huh? ;)

I also run sometimes, but only outdoors, on mountains and in forests.
Last thing I did was driving to a convenience store.
I just do it to stay trim...you know, I lost 6 pounds over my three weeks in your part of the world...struck me as weird. Probably a mix of a lot of walking and mostly quick, small meals.
Very small meals!
I think my son ate more than you. :D
How's Rob doing? He had lots of quick BIG meals. Haha. ;D
I haven't spoken to him since we got back...it's detox, if you know what I mean. When the plane landed in NM, I told him I'd see him in six months. :P

Downloaded a ton of demos and demo videos to the PSP.
IIIiiii went to the park with Dane and Marga MY HANDS ARE COLD.
Hands are cold? ... So... no hands-holding?
Yeah nurd you're doing it wrong. In my high school days... cold dark winter mornings + female classmates = my hands were never cold 8)

i had some dried mangoes from Trader Joe's :)
It was funny when my sister said it :P
Drove home.
Took another walk, this time with Will and the dog. Too bad it was pouring rain... XD
Did the dog smell bad after you got back? :D
No; for some reason he always smells fine.
I powered up the DVD player and put on
BMX Bandits (1983) movie for my
daughter, as she's watching this flick for
what seems the millionth time, but she
will not go to sleep otherwise.
Watched TruTV with my dad, and eventually fell asleep and dreamt that me and a group of people got attacked by bears
I google searched 'where can mangoes grow'
translated stuff
I can't believe this thread already has 7 pages and almost 100 replies...and it's only been open for 8 days :D

Did laundry.
Watched "Big Bang Theory" (TV Show)
with the wife, now I'm back online and
going back and forth between FW.COM
and YouTube, where my daughter is having
her nightly forays with music videos and Pink
Panther Cartoon episodes. Right now she
thinks Mr. T's Snickers commercials are the
funniest thing.
I watched the Big Bang Theory also.
I made myself some good food!
Wrote a check to pay 2008 Oregon state taxes. blech >:(
EDIT: Then I watched this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL9Wu2kWwSY
Eric, what's your view on gas stations in Oregon that make employees fill the tank for you?
Bought a Dreamcast
Funny that you know that dork.
It was strange when I first moved here from a state where you could pump your own gas, but now I like it and it seems normal and also provides jobs for people. As a plus, I don't have to smell like gas afterward. ;)
What are your thoughts on it?
I know this because I have a sister that lives in Oregon :)
Personally, I don't understand why they started doing it. I heard it's because some guy was killed because he forgot to take the pump out of his car or something? I'm not sure if that's true or not. I couldn't imagine it pays anymore than minimum wage....since you only pump gas...
Plus, who says the people who pump it are the smartest people in the world?
My dad went to Oregon to visit my sister once, stopped at a gas station, tried to pump his own gas..and almost got arrested for doing so ::)
:D I almost got arrested trying to pump my own gas when I first moved here, too! I really don't know why they started doing it in the first place, but anyways, a job is a job is a job in this economy.
What city does your sister live in?
Roseburg
It is illegal to pump your own gas here in New Jersey too. I'm always waiting for someone to show up and pump gas when I go to another state.
Yeah, can't pump your own gas in Jersey. I went to college in New York and had to pump my own. It's pretty nice not having to wait for some teenager at Wawa to get his butt over to your car and do his job.
The Wawa in my hometown has all 40+ men the pump the gas, unfortunately I haven't found any Wawas around here yet.
Rehearsed with my new band. I'm SUPER HAPPY about this.
Bought some CD-Rs ;D
Practiced driving. It's hard. :S
It's only hard at first. Before you know it, you'll be like all the other drivers: texting and talking on your cell, eating, driving like an a-hole, and just plain not paying attention. Just give it time. :P
And then you crash. If you live in the Hamptons like I do, learning to drive a car is essential. New York City? Not so much.
Speaking of driving, my mom and I were about to go into the grocery store on our way home, and we saw this idiot in a truck (presumably drunk) skidding around the parking lot...he drove out of the lot, got onto the street, drove around the gas pumps across the street, came back into the parking lot....
and crashed into a brick building....
Yay.
EDIT** Last thing I did just now was take a shower.
Just found out that Jimmy Chamberlin has left The Smashing Pumpkins. Oh, my favorite band, stop the drama and release some new tunes, already.
Got stuff ready for shipping.
Took off my boots after a long day of walking around.
saw Les Paul live!!! ;D ;D ;D
SO AWESOME!!!! ;D ;D ;D
Isn't he like 120?
Isn't Les Paul like a guitar or something? ???
Les Paul is the man responsible for the guitar as you know it. The Gibson that bears his name was one of his designs.

I also have a bone fragment inside my gums from the previous surgery that needs to be removed later.
Ouch...that sucks...
The last thing I did was eat....
Started reading a guide to assembly language, and realized I had nowhere near the skills to use it.
Working on my own RPG in my free time. An old friend says hi:
Will it be a text based RPG?
It's more of a console RPG. It's actually a remake of a very poor game I made back in 1997.
Researched GST.
EDIT: None of you will know what GST stands for, Global Student Teaching.
Blew my nose...I've got a terrible cold.

I hope it's not a cold. It sure doesn't feel like a cold.

I'm at school right now. Earlier today in Freshman Seminar, we had to do a commercial project. We had to advertise either the MacBook Pro (which I did), the Blackberry Storm, or Skype.
I Rick Rolled everybody! ;D
Which one did you use? Did you try the muppet one? Or did you stick with the original?
I checked out some books on Chile from the library. Writing a paper about this country is SO easy, I have insider information ;D.

We had a SSBM tournament...I won 8)
He seems to be quite early doing this, so maybe he's an exception.
I just finished watching gameplay videos of Excitebots: Trick Racing and the Tomy Pyuuta.
Excitebots looks cool, and as does the Pyuuta/Tutor.
I found 40 dollars on the ground :D
Can I have it?
I got back from another small party, this time...well...we didn't do anything groundbreaking...but it was fun! :D
Took out the trash. ... mostly wet and dirty diapers. ;)
I watched Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
It's a warm, sunny day in Portland, so I washed my car and prepared the soil in my vegetable garden. Nice to get a break from the rain and cold, finally.
I went to the park. :) ;)
Downloaded an (link)eeeBuntu (http://www.eeebuntu.org) ISO, because Xandros Linux is horrible.
Drove back to school listening to Bob Segar the whole way.
Went looking at cherry blossoms in full bloom.
Listened to a lecture about water pipelines in Tanzania.
Organized a bunch of old RAM sticks.
Last thing I did was come home from school...
And..on my way home, I saw something very...unusual
In this little town of mine, we have one street that has a few stores and restaurants..and on the side of the road...there was this extremely old, rusty car..and it had a piece of cardboard on top that said "eggs"
There were two guys selling eggs. The people selling them didn't look...erm...respectable, which is pretty important when buying eggs. If you drove on one side of them, you could clearly see the eggs were sitting in a bunch of cartons IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THEIR CAR with the window down..with no refrigeration whatsoever. One man would sometimes point to the other because he only had one arm. I think they may have been trying to use that as a scheme to get more money. Anyway, that was my weird thing for today. I wish some people would realize that there are proper ways to sell things..and proper ways to care for them. I know they probably needed the money but I mean..come on.. ::) :-\
Took a walk in the woods.
Took a shower.
Took the trash out. Today is PET bottle day.
Read a letter from the NM governor to a local resident -- two meaningless paragraphs worth of words. :-\

I hosted one, I probably should have said that in my original post :-[ But yeah, I sold a lot of my old toys and clothes from when I was younger. It was quite nice to make the money. I have no idea what I'll spend it on yet.

Sorry to hear that, that's tough. One of our cats passed away a while ago, and it's not easy. :-\
Finished my PowerPoint on Dian Fossey.
Played SMW with my friend. It was fun! ;D
100 pushups
100 situps/crunches
5 suicides
All because our P.E. teacher got pissed about nothing.... tomorrow we get to run a mile!
Wow, you can do 100 pushups? Congrats on that.
We had to run a mile twice each year in Middle School for no reason.
I rebelled by walking.
Average time was about 8 minutes for the people who ran. I got 23 minutes walking, with occasional sitting and walking in the opposite direction.
lol, we have to do that now...we ran a mile last time I had P.E, but I walked...I think my time was like 13 minutes or something. I can't believe how serious some kids take it...the first kid to finish ran a mile in about 2 1/2 minutes
:O Nine for me. I just jogged the first quarter, and pretty much walked the rest.
Also, I posted some Twilight Fan fiction on Facebook. Tell me what you think!
1
Edward Cullen walked into the lair of the Vampire Pimps. "My name is Edward Cullen," he said. "and I am here to take it to the limit." The Vampire Pimps laughed. "Yeah, the limit! ...Of your abilities... Because... You'll be dead." Edward drew his triple samurai swords, one in each hand, and one clenched between his butt cheeks. Within seconds, all of the Vampire Pimps were dead. Edward ran over to Bella. "Oh Edward, you saved me!" she said. Edward simply smiled. Then knocked her out with a sledgehammer. Then plunged a crazy straw into her jugular and drank gleefully.
-------------------
2
Edward Cullen turned to face Darth Vader. "My name is Edward Cullen", he said, "And I am here to take it to the limit." Vader screamed in agony. "Yeah, the limit! ...Of your mother." "I DON'T HAVE A MOTHER, YOU WEENIS! I'M A VAMPIRE, LIKE LUKE!" "Enough," said Vader, drawing his lightsaber. Edward threw up. "You're just forgetting one thing," he said, extending his triple lightsaber claws on each hand. "Well, two. Er, three on each hand. So technically, six things." Edward fought Vader to a standstill before making him eat his own necktie. Edward slowly removed Vader's helmet, revealing the scarred, dessicated face below. "I...Love you." They kissed.
------------------
I had to run a mile the other day. If we didn't finish in under 12 minutes, we'd have to do it again on Tuesday. Thankfully, I passed with a time of 11:49.
I nearly collapsed out there. I was not born to run. :(
I run a little over a mile and a half to warm up before I hit the weights every time I workout (9+ MPH for 10 minutes), hit the weights for about 45-60 minutes, and then usually run another 10 minutes before I'm done. Y'all need to exercise more. ;)
Some of us don't drink Chuck Norris's pee, you know.
That was uncalled for.
My friend came over to my house, got on the treadmill, set the speed to it's second highest setting, ran for about 11 minutes, and according to the treadmill, he ran 5 1/2 miles! :o And he has asthma! :o :o

Ha! Yeah right! :D Nobody really does the amount he wants us to, but the fact that he expects us to do 100 is ridiculous. As far as the mile goes I usually get around 8:40 if I'm trying. Tomorrow will be a challenge now that I feel like crap, I think.

Umm, treadmills typically only go to about 12-13 mph, so even if he ran for a half-hour, he would only have gone at most 6.5 miles. He would have been going over 30 mph to get that distance in 11 minutes. Treadmill must have been off or something. :P
Translated some medical texts.
Homework.
Super busy lately, almost no time for computar or anything.
Took the reading part of the Compass test for the ACT, so my high school could decide whether or not I'll be in web design and PC support next year.
I got a 97! Yay!
Have you taken the actual ACT?
SHIT'S BORING.
I have not. But, I'm going to in June.
I've taken it like twice now, I got like a 25 or something (:
I unno why i took it ( ._.)
Returning an email from a UK based company that offered me a translation job with Nintendo.
But unfortunately I had to say no.
It was only for 3 months and I would have had to move to London for that time. :-\
If they only had asked me last year around the same time and I would have taken the opportunity. Meh.
Quotetranslation...Nintendo.
Then we'd have two people in the biz on this site.
Yeah, it would be kinda cool, but it's too far away.
If they offered a long-term job, then that would be a whole different story again. :-\
That's a shame, I guess it's not that easy to move for three months when you have a family.
Exactly.
And basically this would cost me the 1 year I already spent in Japan in my plan to get permanent residency.
Partied.
Homework and watched AVGN's Starwars reviews, haha.
Went to a recreational facility with friends for a surprise birthday party. Mostly consisted of throwing balls around and eating junk food, but instances of sneaking around outside/entering restricted regions had occurred. Afterwards I watched the first 20 minutes of "Taken", and was not impressed. :-\
Baked a loaf of bread.
Woke up.
Showered.
Got a trophy :D
Congratulations! For what? Sports?
Pfft, sports... :P
I did well in a music contest.
Worked in my family's flower garden.
Still kind of early in spring around here, so the flowers aren't in full bloom. I'll try to get some when I go back to my family home.
Looking forward to those.
Here in Japan flowers blooming everywhere. :D
I just gave my dog a treat! A kind man came to our house and asked if we were missing a dog...and we were. Yay!
Received new translation work.
Some speech homework before leaving for school.
Took a final :(
Added a new Twilight Fan Fiction to my facebook notes. nintendodork, you may want to check it out... XD
I did, they're frickin' hilarious! XD
I have one question, though. Why do you tag people in the notes..if they have nothing to do with the story? Unless they do serve some kind of purpose that I'm not comprehending...which means...I'm stupid! D:
Read an article about Nintendo's past history with online communications on consoles. Makes me want to buy some old, useless console network add-ons just out of respect to Yamauchi's visions. :P

So do you and Rogles have Steam accounts? If so, add "AparoidX" to your list. I am frequently on and wouldn't mind playing something together. (Even if you don't have many games, I like to have friends :D)
Anyway, the last thing I did was some homework. I'm taking a break and going at it again later. Maybe. ::)
Rogles doesn't have Steam ;)

Quote from: Blue Protoman on May 05, 2009, 06:37:47 pm

Garry's Mod. It's basically a sandbox game based on Half-Life 2 that lets you do all sorts of crazy stuff. People use it all the time for machinima, and for a good reason. You can build pretty much anything, pose character models/faces, and mess with physics.
Hm. You can make games with it? Is it hard to use?
Quote from: Blue Protoman on May 05, 2009, 06:45:23 pm

I don't know that you can make games with it (making a Source mod will probably be the route you'd want to take if that was your intention), but it's not really that hard to use.
Source mod?

Took a walk to a nearby park.
Finished most of my aforementioned homework. All that remains is a report that should only take half an hour, and some studying. :)
Tomorrow I'm taking a field trip to an Amish community. I'm looking forward to it.

I would, but we aren't allowed to bring anything electronic besides a camera, basically. ::) I'm going to be incredibly bored on the 5 total hours riding on a bus there and back.
I hope not a digital camera, but only a shoebox with a pinhole. :P
As for boring rides, there are also these old-fashioned thingies, what do you call 'em again... books. ;)
Yeah, don't forget about books. They're underrated.
You can carve a hole in them and shove a pocket TV, MP3 player or portable gaming system inside ::).
I heard this was only possible with bibles. :D
On occasions like these, I wish I had low-profile headphones or something. I know wireless earbuds exist, but it seems like something I'd lose easily. Eh, then again, I don't have a functioning portable media player...
One of my teachers from the past said that he used a big book and carved out a Game Boy shaped hole in it and was playing Tetris in class, until he forgot to mute the sound. :D
Bought a couple CDs online.

Let's get back on topic.
Logged onto my account from a computer...in a store. And it's a Mac.
cleaned my home
Replaced the network card on my mom's PC.
Laughed really fricking hard... At THIS. (http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/golden-age-comics.php?page=3)
Bought groceries.
Got home from a koral, and then took pics of my new stuff.
Koral? Is this MMA fighting or something else?
:D it's like a school dance, but better, and there's more stuff to do. Silly Eric, there are no MMA fights in the great village of Shenandoah. Only .... never mind.
watched a movie called Pulse.
Playing famicom disk system roms on my wii
Yesterday I got my new Japanese driver's license. :D
A friend borrowed me his triwing screwdriver, so I've cleaned all of my Gamecube controllers with erratic analog sticks.
Tried the new games I got from play n trade and craiglist!
Pronounced my Mythbuntu installation officially dead.
arranged my consoles with my tv. I took out the ones I don't play as much with some that I felt like playing again.

Did you give up trying to get everything working correctly or did you screw up something big time?
It screwed itself up, I was just trying to watch TV :P
It's either a bad hdd or just another asinine Linux issue that I've lost the patience to try and fix. Mythbuntu has sucked from the beginning, so I'm gonna install some lite-weight distro and setup MythTV myself (assuming the hdd isn't bad).
Quote from: UglyJoe on May 16, 2009, 11:57:19 am
just another asinine Linux issue that I've lost the patience to try and fix.
If I had a dollar for every time that happened to me, I'd have enough money to buy a good lot of decent games.
I'm not bashing Linux, I think it's leaps and bounds better than before but on the desktop I'm always plagued by some obscure, utterly annoying and difficult to reproduce problem that ends up killing my patience and making me ditch it.
The day that XP stops fulfilling my needs and M$ forces me to "upgrade", I'll make the switch for once and for all.
Also by that time I hope that Linux will advance much more in reducing the annoying issues.
As for what was the last thing I did... I upgraded the firmware on one of those cheap Chinese MP4 players, edited the F/W file to fix a button mapping issue, killed it, recovered it in ADFU mode (short-circuiting memory pins yay!), killed it again, half-recovered it (black screen) and finally got it working decently. Damn you China!
But you collect Famiclones, and the vast majority come from China. Therefore, you shouldn't hate it. [/smartass]
I don't hate China, I just raise my fist in anger and then continue playing Super Mario 14 on my Twinhead PC-100, powered by a Minwa AC adapter :P.
Hmm... Do all Famiclones support the same Minwa adapters you have?
Yup, they all work with 9V DC negative tip.
Negative tip? I know nothing about electricity.
"Tip" refers to the center (inside) conductor of the adapter's plug (the part that goes into the Famicom). Therefore, negative tip means that the center conductor (the tip) carries the negative pole, and thus the outside conductor (the ring) carries the positive one. This is what you want for a Famicom and its clones,
not the other way around.
The tip polarity is marked by a symbol printed on the AC adapter's label. The following pic (which I made in 2007) should tell you what to look for:
So in order to get a Famicom-compatible adapter, it must say Output: 9V DC (actually anything between 9 and 12 will work) and carry the Negative Tip symbol on its label.
Declared my MythTV box officially undead.
Pulled the box out of my entertainment center and booted up a GParted LiveCD. My root partition had all kinds of issues. GParted was able to fix that up in under a minute. Rebooted and it's back up to its (lackluster) self. I still want to scrap Mythbuntu and start over, but I just don't have the time to deal with it.
That diagram is neat. I learned something new today. ;D
Made me a 2nd dinner, because I'm still hungry after the first dinner. :D
Opened a gift from my brother and his wife. They couldn't be here last weekend, so I got it this weekend. I got a card with $40 in it, and my brother's friend threw in the first issue of Nintendo Power! If anyone knows, what's the difference between the Premiere Issue of NP, and the July/August 1988 issue? The Premiere Issue is actually a little longer than the official first issue. I have both, but I haven't actually done a side-by-side comparison, since it seems the difference would be something minor somewhere in the middle of the magazine.
I bought Go-Bot robot capguns.
They're neat.
Installed a fluorescent light fixture over my desk area and then helped my uncle with some TV repair.
I built a shack for my cat to be confined in. My parents made me since he has been shitting everywhere. heh.
...It better be a pretty damn big confinement space. Cats aren't animals that should be confined in a small place. Also, did he just all of a sudden start using the bathroom all over you're house? You may wanna get him checked out at a vet if he keeps doing it.
It's pretty big, he seems comfortable. Also, it's just temporary till he gets better.
Shaved and took a bath.
had cookies and milk ;D
Took my cat to get spayed.
Pulled an all-nighter and wrote a paper that is due today. Mood: groggy. x_x

YESH JUST LIKE OUR CORN.
Our last day is the 22nd. But we only go from 8:00-10:00
Played Darkstone for two hours straight...haven't done that since I got mario 8 last year.
Recently I haven't been able to immerse myself in any game like I used to. I can barely find some free time to relax and dedicate some time for video gaming, and when I finally get some free time to relax and play, I just can't get myself into it :'(. I blame life & responsibilities.
Yikes! This better not be the beginning of the end. I feel that, too sometimes. I actually only play games when I'm testing new games I've purchase (and will put up for sale). I wish I had more time. I've been able to get into a few games lately -- Lickle was amazing, so was Ai Senshi Nicol. I never ever play a game through to the end, but with those two I did.
Yikes. I'd better enjoy my childhood while it lasts.
Hmm I just got that back 133mhz man it feels so good to enjoy a game again and I never imagine I would get into Darkstone so bad. I guess I'm into the leveling dungeon crawling stuff. Also, the weapons have a level of duration so if I don't fix them then they'll break ohhh nooo! I love that stuff. I want to see if I take a break and play umjammer lammy again.

I drew Vince and Jules from Pulp Fiction on my wall using the projector.
Now I'm going to paint black around them, because it's in stencil form. I wonder how long until my parents notice :D

My itouch's glass just shattered. I jsut set it down. Did I set it down TOO HARD?
I hate you, apple.
Wow apple has gone to a new low. Go to hell touch crap!
Woke up because of a burning plastic smell, my PC was displaying a BSOD. Uh oh...
The power supply fan decided to die in the middle of the night which overheated and killed the PSU.
Fortunately everything else is working fine. Phew!
Okay, Wow.
I sent a call help request thing to Apple, to call at 3:30 today.
They call at 3:35 and I answer, then they hang up.

SCANS PLZ
I angrily exited out of The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.... That is one hard game.
Photographed a car accident.
Was it a big car accident?
And I gave it to her at school so cannot scan. It's lame anyway xD
Not big, but a dumb ass police car ran a stop sign without its emerg lights on and got hit by a truck.
Started looking forward to Nintendo's new upcoming Wii games.
Turned my work computers back on. Yay power outage!
Uninterruptible Power Supplies FTW!
My main PC had an uptime of almost 30 days until its power supply crapped out :(
Took apart my couch cushions and put then into the dryer. I left my apartment windows open and my couch got wet :(
Hahaha. I hate when I leave my car window open and it rains unexpectedly. End up sitting on a towel. Just about every time it rains here it's unexpected -- flash, as they call it on the news.
I just got back from the police department. (The officer in the wreck is OK.) ;)
Opened a bottle of Italian Pinot Noir.
JC - are ya gonna post the pics of the accident?
Finished reassembling my couch cushions. Everything is nice and dry now :)
Got back from the Padres game. :) They lost. :(
Left kittens I was fostering into adoption....it's sad to let them go but I hope they will find homes.

Those are just too cute.
Especially the whitish one; the way it's holding onto another kitten. :P
Yeah man I miss them so much already. I told my wife not to bring anymore kittens because we get so attached to them.....we also can't afford it since we already have five cats at our home. Anyways, I brought my car back home because some fucker hit the back bumper of it. That bastard left a big dent! All I know is that it's a white car since that's the paint color the car left on the dent......man I'm so depressed right now...

woke up...
Finished a Biology test. I'm in the classroom right now waiting for the bell to ring, using my school laptop one last time until they're collected tomorrow.
tried out all the new games I got. A lot of fun but no time for it! Oh yeah also packing for my trip..... ;)
Got up at 3 am... Watched Adult Swim for a while...
Repaired my twin famicom!
Paid a court fine. :(
Deleted all my NES and SNES VC titles and installed FCE Ultra GX and Snes9x GX on my wii with the entire NES and SNES (U) goodrom romsets along with a bunch of translations for Japan only imports. This seems to make more sense since the wii only has a 512MB HDD. Thank goodness for the SD slot. :)
By the way, this was made possible with the awesome BannerBomb exploit. :) Everyone with a wii should update to 4.0U (assuming Canada and the USA) and check it out along with WiiGator's Backup Launcher 0.3 Gamma. It works wonders! Tutorials are all over the net. The package I downloaded was called "4.0softmod.rar" for those interested.

Nothing serious. I forgot to re-register my car and a police officer stopped me. $24.
24 bucks you could've spent on a Famicom game.
They always stop you when something like that happens.
When I got my Japanese license I talked to some guy in the waiting line. He told me he wasn't stopped by police in 20 years. Then he forgot to renew his drivers license and they got him. :D
Failed my driving test :(
I failed mine the first time, too. I was 8" instead of 6" from the curb while parallel parking. ::)
Do they even make you parallel park anymore?
I meant the written test. But yeah, they do that in the driving portion. We do that separately in Driver's Ed, though.

Would be nice if the machines are in good shape.
I assume it's $300 per machine, which still isn't too bad. Would be cool if it's a SMB VS. cabinet.

He contacted me. I was interested soley in the Street Fighter 2 arcade, but he wants 300 for all 3, and provides the accessories needed to fix them. I am waiting on some pictures....
Wow. That's a great price if they don't look terrible. Good luck!
Guess I shouldn't have asked for pictures and waited. They were sold earlier today. Grrrr! >:(
That sucks! It would have been awesome to own all three of them.
As the saying goes, "He who waits, masturbates." :P
Finished packing and now I'm getting ready to go to the flea market.
Took hot pics of an attractive chick.
Mind sharing them? ::) ;D
Shot them for an ad a company's gonna run, so I can't distribute the pics. But short shorts and a mostly unbuttoned top made for good times.
Hmm I guess that explains the DSLR hanging from your neck on your vacation pics :P.

You could always post a link/scan of said ad, or say which company/which ad.
I watched this. All I have to say is..... Holy...... Crap......
Watched what? What ericj posted?
http://www.youtube.com/wariolandshakeit2008
oops. theres the link
Heh, that's old :P I lol'd and wtf'd the first time I saw it. Too bad it's only a screenshot layed over the actual webpage. :-\ It's still cool, though :D
I saw that, too. But it's nice to watch again. It is a great idea to present the game.
Backed up a bunch of stuff to DVD-Rs.
I don't get what's so special about the video. Is the specialness not visible on the Wii?
If you can't see what's special, then maybe the specialness doesn't work on the Wii, which is odd, though.
Watch it on a PC once.
Don't forget, I handed in my school laptop nearly a week ago. My brother usually gets to our PC before I do.
EDIT: What the hell? Like, 80% of my posts here start a new page.
Talk to my friends.
Just ask your brother to let you view the short video on the computer. He surely can't hog it all day long, can he?
Oh, yes. He can. He gets pissed if I ask to use the computer.
How old is he? Punch him in the knee.

1. Turned 12 almost a month ago.
2. I'm a pacifist. I don't like violence.
3. Actually, he spends the other half of his time playing 360. Either way, he's addicted to Halo. It's like the TV/monitor emits vaporized cocaine when he plays it.
4. No, he shouts/complains/insults/accuses hacking and generally makes an ass of himself whenever he plays online.
Helped serve food to a battalion that's deploying to Iraq.
If he is 12, you can do whatever you want.

No, I can't. I have a Jewish mother.
The two are closely related- wait, no they're not. Why does having a Jewish mom relate to this? XD
She rules the house with an iron fist. Trust me. If your mother was Jewish, you'd know exactly what I was talking about.

Those kind of things always sound like a good idea...then you end up on Judge Judy. You're too young for that stuff...enjoy your personal space, you probably won't be as free as you are now for a very long time. This ended badly for almost all my friends who did.
I've talked to her about it and made sure she understood that just because we are sharing a living space, it doesnt mean that we are tied together.
She isn't living at home right now. She has been living with her friend Chris since August, and she will talk to me sometimes, extremely frustrated because he doesn't do his share of the housework. When he does do something, it's done soo lazily that he should just have not even bother. An example of this is when, and I stress WHEN he does the dishes. He litterally just rinses them quickly and puts them down to dry. Pretty much every dish ends up needing to be re cleaned because there is food and grime still caked. She also feeds his cats, does their litter boxes, and cleans the apartment up. When ever she confronts him about it, he blows up at her. She tells me she feels trapped because she doesn't want to screw him over because he is her friend, but at the same time, she can't live under those conditions.
I guess another thing to note is that I am sleeping at her place usually 3 or so times a week, unless she comes to mine, in which case she sleeps here. We are already around each other a great deal of the time and have never really grown bored of each other.

It just happened that my uncle -- a restaurant owner -- was in contact with the national guardsmen and arranged it. There aren't many deployments that affect my small town, so I don't anticipate doing this again anytime soon, except maybe to welcome back the soldiers in a year.

Oh man. That thing looks awesome! :O I should watch it. :)
Burped.
Became jealous that both Japan AND Europe got Super Smash Bros. 64.
America always gets everything last, if at all.
This country's terrible for gaming.
Especially if you had the game in question as a child and want to relive the nostalgia.
Uhh, no. Most of the time, it's Europe that gets everything last.
If they get it at all. Poor Europe :(
Indeed. Sometimes, though, they get pretty cool region exclusive games that neither Japan nor North America gets.
Yeah, BP, get your facts straight.
It's a bit annoying that many Americans (not all, thank God) like you start complaining so fast and turn the facts around.
Usually, on top of paying MORE, Europe gets stuff LATER or not at all.
Listened to one of my neighbor's try to take his kid from his kid's mother while she screamed for someone to call the cops. Happens too often. I think someone got decked in the shuffle.

How old are you? Yeah, I think that's good. I had to take it in 6th 7th and 8th. I think my highest was a 24 or something.

Edit* Last thing I did was put my cat on top of the fridge. I heard something rustling around up there, and it was a mouse in a bag of chips! Yuck! My cat hit the mouse down off of the fridge onto the floor, and it crippled the mouse. My cat then started the process that is the circle of life. :P
My parents' cat killed a snake that was in their house on Saturday. She toyed with it for hours.

Cleaned my Genesis and games. Some of them were really dirty. :o
I dropped my Twin Famicom AC adapter for like the 10th time and one of the wires broke off of one of the prongs, so I had to break apart the casing on the adapter and re-solder the wire back onto it. Works fine now, though. Damn hardwood floor. :P

I could find neither.
Then I got the Famiclone and Elf Bowling ready for shipping.
Yeah.
Got a stool for my arcade machine.
Bought the newest issue of Game Side (bimonthly retro game mag) at the bookstore.

It's raining like mad out there.

Then I checked amazon -> yay -> My copy of Dragon Quest IX was shipped today, should arrive tomorrow. No standing in line and still get it on release day. I love amazon. :D
I played Noby Noby Boy.
I left it on all night because I was too tired (lazy) to turn it off, and set the controller on the couch upside down. the next morning, I have 70,000m to report. I do that, and it's a "Lucky Day" or whatever, so that is multiplied by 708. I checked the world rankings thing, I'm in the top 300 now! ~:D

Came home from a bar.
Made an unboxing video of the stuff I got from FamicomFreak, took pics of it, played the games, and then I put our dog to bed.
Well lets start with yesterday that I got my car towed and had to pay 113 dollars....there goes all the money I made selling pirates :( it was a pretty bad day but then went to the thrift store and found some neat stuff so I'll try to get my money back. Now today, I made a video of my purchases from the past two weeks. I'll post it on youtube once it's finished. har har har

Just realized that, while I had a nice summer with my family, I've wasted it socially, and have had almost no contact with my friends.
Me too. Feeling sucks.
I went to the beach with the family.
Now I wanna go again, soon.
Almost cut the tip of my thumb off with plant shears. My thumb's nail has a long, blood-filled slice in it.
Ouch. It cut right through the nail? That sounds pretty painful.
I helped my girlfriend move some stuff over to my place, and then spent the rest of the day cleaning up various parts of the house.

It was trying too hard, and throughout the whole film it was just begging to be a serious film, not a comedy. I think it would have been a lot more cooler "all serious rambo style".

WHOA.... What happened? I don't understand what he's talking about. Did they get divorced or something? I thought his wife and son lived with him in Japan... Perhaps not.
Uhh, no, they did both live with him, Luke's wife and son left him because (according to the video, anyway) he spent too much time buying things for himself and making videos about video games. It's really sad to see one of the biggest voices of Youtube's gaming community leave all of a sudden.
Just watched it as well, I posted some comments up.
Always prioritize things in life, you can keep your hobbies.
I don't think all is lost, women can be very stubborn but its not like it can't be repaired.
If he's smart he will repair it, and maybe just maybe return to youtube. I haven't seen anybody actually leave youtube yet. They always seem to say they're leaving but then they come back in a couple months to a year.
Well, I wish him the best of luck.
Sounds like he needs to balance his life out. He's got a kid, so it's important for him to spend time with his family. When he's old and dying, he's not going to be wishing he played games and posted videos more often, he's going to wish he'd spent more time with the people in his life.
ericj is very wise! Never let a hobby consume your life. Remember what is really important.
Watched a ritual where a bunch of Catholics burn a giant lucifer in effigy. They haven't called the wood and paper statue the devil for some decades now -- Old Man Quejas, which I think is Old Man Worries.
Like in real life? Of a video? 0_0
Quejas is more like complaints.
People call him Old Man Worries when they say it in English, but the Spanish-English dictionary I just used agrees with you - not that I doubted a native speaker. You know, maybe there's a difference between our use here in Nuevo Mexico and the standard use. I know we've got a lot of Spanish slang and Spanglish up here you don't find anywhere else. Who knows.
And in real life...
Cleaned up my Windows desktop.
I need to clean my desktop as well but no patience. Anyways, I played my newest finds at least some of them. I had a lot of fun!

I hate it.
Rebuilt another laptop battery!
Got back from the flea market. This guy wanted $10 for gameboy classic games and refused to haggle. He had Tetris Blast and Wizards and Warriors X. I want them, but not that badly. I'm about to buy W&W off of eBay out of spite :P
Also saw some kids playing Baloon Fight on some famiclone system :D
Fixed my broken fingernail with a drop of cyanoacrylate ::)

Took this http://www.sporcle.com/games/newjersey_cities.php (http://www.sporcle.com/games/newjersey_cities.php) and realized that for a densely populated area, New Jersey doesn't really have cities.
Went to the Bradley Center and saw Hoobastank and Creed

Went to radioshack to pick up a new AV supply for my famicom. It's 9v-10.2v Here's to it working properly.

They are really called hobo spiders? ;D Awesome.
How big is huge? (My last spider was about CD-sized (including the feet of course)
A little bit smaller than the size of a GameCube disk.
Big enough to make me feel uncomfortable.
I had one of this size in the kitchen today.
Went to the local shop to buy an NES, and got yelled at by a homeless guy.

Heh. Reminds me of a show on last night called Community. It was terrible, but there's was one funny scene with an Asian dude teaching Spanish.
http://www.nbc.com/community/video/episodes/?vid=1160562
A crew from NHK (Japanese National TV) came to Shounenji temple (where I live) to take some shots and drink water from the well (it's quite famous here in the region).
I watched and had some talks with the camera guys and with Saho Harada (she's a famous synchronized swimmer).
This is the program:
http://www.nhk.or.jp/tekuteku/ (http://www.nhk.or.jp/tekuteku/)
They also took a photo with her, grandpa, me and my son, which they'll probably use on TV. I'll know on Monday when the show is aired. :) I'll have to record that.
That's awesome, Manuel.

I love foreign Pokemon cards! There used to be this one store a couple towns over that sold these big packs that had like..5 packs in them from the first few sets, each one from a different country. I remember getting some from Germany, Japan, Mexico, and Taiwan, can't remember the others though.
They used to sell them at the near by Target around here but they were Yu-Gi-Oh and in Spanish.
I got a box at target that had a few english, japanese, and german booster packs. for some reason theyre my new favorite thing again.
Bought these:
Yeah, 60 of them!! Every flavor, not just pork :P.
Before you ask if I'm going to eat all 60 of 'em... no. I have to share 8).
Also, the company's name and email address cracks me up every time ::)

WTF - World Tae Kwon Do Federation :P
Just last weekend I competed at the JKI Tae Kwon Do Tournament.
LOL nice wtf product! Can I get one of those? Maybe I'll go WTF! sooo goood!!
Haha, that should be their slogan.
"It's so good, you'll say WTF everytime!"
Now that's just too fun: HERE (http://www.raincitystory.com/flash/screenclean.swf)
Ah that freaked me out....
Awww, that's so cute.
I'd like the same with a little kitty. :D
But cats have rough tongues. That can't be good for LCD! :-\
Took apart my washing machine and replaced the motor coupler so it would spin again. ;D
Haha that reminds me, I took apart my washing machine some time ago because it was making a horrible noise when spinning. I thought that the bearings were shot, I took the drum assembly apart and found several bra wires around the motor shaft. Needless to say I removed them and silence ensued :P.
Changed forum settings to look at a new server. Did it work? Can people still make posts?
Just got off work. Testing for UglyJoe
Went to the movie theater with some friends, we saw waynes world :D
Wayne's World in a movie theater? In 2009? :o Wow.
Lol yeah, they have this flashback film night thing. Tickets just 5 dolars. Next week theyre playing plan 9 from outer space!
I just was on the phone with a guy from Hiroshima YMCA (a language school) and it seems they want to contract me as a private teacher. I'll only have 1 pupil, though. :P
finished downloading office 2003...
remembered famicom world, and logged back in after a month or 2 of inactivity....
Welcome back ;D
Just killed a stinkbug. I accidentally crushed it while trying to capture it in a soda bottle. I had to run out to the dumpster quickly to get rid of it. I think I managed to kill it before it set off its stink glands. Crisis averted!
Ugh. My cat found another one. Crushed that one, too...
I just washed the dishes...there weren't that many but I'm so tired but can't stand seeing dishes not done...awa!
We just came home from a nice family trip to a big park in Sera town.
Ran.
Fed my chinchilla!
Got home from the DMV.... I have to come back again on Friday because the insurance card thing for my car was expired according to them even though it said it's good for a freaking year!!! My license expires tomorrow!! AWAAA!!!

Transferred a sh*tload of photos from SD card to the PC.
Checked out prices on various websites for Kaossilators. Found a couple on Amazon marked as new for around $150. That's quite a discount!
Finished my paper on Fahrenheit 451 for Language Arts 10.
Do you burn the paper in front of the class to illustrate the point? :D
Finished the first frame on my storyboard - YAY! :D
Now about 150 more to go. :P
This is for a music video - I'd hate to imagine what a movie is going to be like.

Haha, I bought it back then, but delivery usually takes some time. It's the newest model, so I think it just left the factory.
Mmh... new car smell... :)
And we already got it today, because they got it ready a bit earlier than planned. :D
What kind of car is it? I'd imagine it's a Toyota or Honda haha.
It's a Daihatsu.
I'll probably post pics when I take some in our car thread.
In CG it looks like this:
Daihatsu, shit I didn't even know they still made those. I knew a guy who had an old crappy Hijet.
Slept too late.
Say, manuel, I hear in Japan the vehicle regulations are ridiculous - like, they're so strict that people tend to not have cars over ten years old. Otherwise, people would pull over to stop & look at them, intrigued. :P
It's not that bad, but there are indeed almost only new cars.
There are now a lot of tax incentives for buying new cars.
@son_ov_hades:
Daihatsu is pretty big in Japan. I think they are one of the biggest makers of "Kei" cars together with Suzuki and Mitsubishi.
Fed the kitten.
Posted in a topic a couple above this one :)
Spent the day with friends who came to visit us.
I read this.

Watched the Giants game, the Raiders suck so bad.
I went to the san antonio zoo
Went to Radio Shack to buy some replacement parts for my famicom... They didn't have the right things so I guess I'll just have to order them online :/
What replacement parts are you looking to buy?
133MHz informed me that I will need:
- 7805 Voltage Regulator IC
- 1000µF 16 or 25V Electrolytic Capacitor
A 16 or 25V cap may be hard to find at Radio Shack, but they should have 35V. I know they have the 7805 vr, I just bought one there. Check a couple different Radio Shacks or just order from their website.
I saw their 1000µF 35V cap, but I didn't go for it. I'm not too savvy with electrical components yet, so I try to keep things as precise as possible.
I found these, however:
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062599&CAWELAID=107597886
http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=G17232&variation=
Those will work. The 7805 is a lot cheaper on the Electronic Goldmine site, too.
http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=G13022
Bought a nice car CD radio.
The official CD radio was crappy so we left it out, saved 21000 Yen on the new car and bought one with mp3/wma support and a USB connector for 9800 Yen.
Mm.. I have a question about that. Is Japan inflated or something? It seems odd to have all those extra zeros.
100JPY = 1$
...
Actually 100Yen is now 0.9$. The $ is pretty weak against the Yen at the moment.
MS-DOS4, just think about the Yen as a "cent". 100$ are 10000 cents, right? In Japan, there's just no bigger unit than Yen, which makes the prices seem bigger.
There's s sub-unit called "Sen" (100Sen = 1 Yen), but this is only very rarely used in the stock market and such.
I just hacked Pilotwings so now you can hear Skydiving at the beginning of the song, finally.
Ran.
researched on where to buy Gimmick.
Finished my paper on sociology for Social Sciences.

A few of my friends were acting like straight up jerks,they think its so funny to say mean shit about people.
Canceled a few order oon Amazon becasue y Paypal account had an extra 30 dollars and long story short: I now have a small negative balance. >:(
Can you pay by paypal on amazon? ???
Yes, but only With the plugin from paypal.
How does this work? Can you give a link or something?
The amazon page says this: "We do not currently accept international wire transfers, PayPal,..."
For me it would be great if I could use paypal.
I scored a date with a cheerleader! ;D (Not kidding)
Gave my N64 a well-deserved cleaning.
Sent a text. I hardly ever do that. I'm behind the times.

What happened?
Designed a printed circuit board for a school project.
Went out for a drive with the wife.
Built a PC out of spare parts lying around my house (1.6 GHz P4, 512 MB RAM, 20 GB HDD).
Perfect for when friends or guests come over and need to check their email or something.
Awesome stuff 133mhz. That does sound like the perfect PC to check your e-mail and do those basic tasks you need.
Got back from baseball practice!

I really think this will work. (:
I was 400 miles from my girlfriend for 2 years. We've worked it down to 200 miles for the past 2 years. College can be really annoying that way. Still together after 4 years of it, though ;D
Looked for stuff (videogames) to buy online for a total of $8.00 including shipping. Have any ideas?
I sold 1 Famicom cart to Nightstar699 the last day and it was 8$ with shipping. *wink wink*
Have a look at my "shop" page. ;)
Where is this page?
It's his signature. Speaking of that, Manuel, you're going to receive a PM soon. ;)
Well what do you have left? I don't know any of the games by their pics so could you name them and their current prices? And how much is sylvian (I think that's the spelling)
I have updated game names.

Now to get some rest. :D
Cleaned my Mario Party N64 cartridge that I've had for a good 6 years or so that I bought from a second-hand electronic media store...who got it from a pawn shop...who got it from Blockbuster. >_>
5 barcode stickers, 4 of which had void stickers, a blockbuster label over the top and front of the cartridge, and a small, orange price sticker. It mostly looks good now, except I couldn't rub off all of the void sticker of one of the barcodes.
Caught the flu. :'(
Read a text. Yes, I'm texting more now. Don't know if I like it, but I'm trying it out.

Downloaded Doc Louis's Punch-Out!! and redeemed my free NES game for previously buying the Internet Channel. I chose Rockman 2.
free NES game?
Yup. If you bought the Internet Channel when it costed 500 points (it's now free), Nintendo is allowing you to redeem one free NES game that is worth 500 points from the Wii Shop Channel. Any game for regular sale is redeemable as long as it's only 500 points.

I finally dumped the Tetris 2 unused songs! Expect them to be at snesmusic.org soon.
You can find the 2140-2143 SNES registers at 0x1F4-0x1F7 in the .SPC files, and they are referenced as $F4-$F7 internally to the SPC. SNES9X Debugger has these in ARAM, at the internal address locations.
Looked for some NES games. I was thinking of starting to collect them.
Cleaned out my PM box, i had 116, i now have 14 (i need them as reminders) i had to go through all of them!
You could've just checked "select all", and then unchecked the ones you wanted to keep. It would've been a bit easier.

Some guy I know on Youtube who has kick-ass game reviews. The game I got was Black Fire for the Sega Saturn which is not as good as I though it'd be.

Dug through garbage trying to look for a receipt my mom threw away. >:( It was for a Wii remote battery pack that doesn't seem to hold a charge.
I couldn't find it.
If you paid with a credit or debit card, a store can usually pull up your transaction and print you a new receipt. ;) I've had to do this before.
Edit: Or, a lot of stores will let you do an exchange or give you store credit if you don't have a receipt, but have original packaging.
Went to a party, some guy threw a can of spraypaint at me, and i tried to summon the devil. 'Twas fun :D

I checked the mail. The Calender thing from Club Nintendo is here.
I fnally found the song I was looking for for two years! Haha! :D :D
Took a shower, and checked the final count for our town's mayoral election. My grandpa was running for re-election, and won with approx. 750 votes, the other guy had approx. 350. The other guy was a hick who was running solely out of revenge for my grandpa not making him the chief of police of our town. ::)
Watched my governor concede :'(. I knocked on so many doors too, not looking forward to 4 years of a Republican governor at all.
They were both pretty lousy candidates. It was a lose-lose scenario :-\

America's foundation??? Remember slavery, black rights, women's suffrage, the displacement and murder of Native Americans? How the only people who had power and decision-making rights were the wealthy, white landowners?
Maybe you think it happened exactly as in your HS History books. It didn't. People fought hard are still fighting for rights all over this country.

Yeah, I know about all of that shit. Those are the only things disapprove of. I'm not a conservative, I'm an Independent. I believe "Live free or DIE!" I want to protect all of our rights from politicians. I don't believe revenge should be carried out by law.

Haha, that reminded me of when Jay Leno went around and asked women if they think that they think women's suffrage is right. Almost all of them said something like "No! Women's suffrage is wrong!" Then he told them what it meant.
I just got home from work.
This country was founded on genocide, racism, slavery, and oppression. Progress is good, conservatism is bad.

What's it like? I don't know if i want to open mine to find out.
It's like a set of 13 double-sided post cards and a stand-up cardboard holder for them. They've got art from games that came out last year (or earlier). It's nothing amazing, but not bad for a "free" calendar.
I just got my Zelda posters in the mail. They are much nicer than i thought.
I don't even like posters, really.

2. Ranted about Cartoon Network and showed how happy I am that Loony Tunes is returning to it.
3. Checked e-mails.
4. Put on some Garlic knots
Watched Something to do with the Wall, a documentary about the Berlin Wall. Afterward there was a panel discussion and on the panel was a German exchange student, German women are gorgeous 8).
Walked over to check out the damage from the fire today at the elementary school a couple blocks from my house.
Yikes! And I always thought fire drills were a waste of time.
Nice Beavis picture.
And yeah, they are a waste of time. :P An annual drill for each disaster is enough.
Finished upgrading to Ubuntu Karmic. Now my wireless doesn't work. Go Ubuntu!
I have done absolutely nothing worthwhile today.
Went to see DragonForce live with two of my best friends. The show was excellent except for the terrible audio quality, but overall I had a pretty awesome time :D!
The last interesting thing I did was sweep water out of my classroom. Damn district is too cheap to fix our roofs! Our carpets are soaked and are going to get moldy now.

played mariokart wii with a kid in my scout troop over nintendo WFC
My laptop's PCMCIA slot failed Xbox 360 style (it desoldered itself right off the motherboard due to extreme heat), leaving me with no wireless Internet. I don't have a sufficiently fine tipped soldering iron nor the skills to resolder the slot by myself, so I invited a good friend of mine who makes a living of repairing gaming consoles (and thus can do very fine soldering) over for lunch and video games, with the intention of getting him to resolder the PCMCIA slot for me. He spent about an hour soldering those countless minuscule pins back into place, one by one. He did an excellent job, my wireless is back, we had a pretty good time and his godlike soldering skills even brought a broken Yoshi's Island cart that I had laying around for months back to life! This is what I call a good day :D.
Nice, 133MHz. :)
I'm also having a good day.
My son spoke his first loosely gaming-related word: Pikachu. ;D (He has a little Pikachu backpack and likes it very much)
Man, that's so cute!
I'm having a meh day. I haven't done anything fun in a long time although I have found some things recently that I've been looking for for quite some time.

I dunno, maybe you saw them just walking around before/after a concert or something. :D Cool, though.
Fell asleep on the couch.
Removed one of the shelves from my desk (which was way more complicated than it needed to be) and setup my parent's old TV in its place (since my parents gave away my old TV...). Finally playing my Famicom on a CRT, though. Looks sooo much better than it does on an LCD.
Came to work to use the internet because I don't have internet at home anymore.....
Why don't you have internet at home any more? Is this forever?
Made a ceramic mario figure.

Sloppy, but it gets the job done.
Wow, you're good. That doesn't look sloppy.
What's it's job? :D
Very cool though. If you're into stuff like that, check out Satoshi_Matrix's bead sprites thread. He's got a lot of cool stuff in there.
I read though his entire thread! Very cool beads.
Also, it's job is to sit there endlessly smoking a fake cigarette and just look cool on my shelf.
You've read through all 66 pages?! You must've been really bored! ::) :P
Not all in one day.
Just taught my little brother to play Kirby's Adventure.
He's addicted now.
Urinated in a waterless urinal. Guess that's the new green trend.
I've never seen a urinal with water in it. Or at least not until I flushed. ???
How does it get rid of the smell without water? I've never seen one of those.
Brought out the garbage.
I have no clue how it works. There's no flushing and no water at any point. Looks like any other urinal, only it's got this cap over the drain that's got a small space underneath for urine flow into the drain. I would guess it'd have to be more regularly scrubbed to clean it.
manuel, does that mean you took it out to the street and covered it with netting? I have a pic of your uncle, I think, doing that. One of my favorites from the trip.
Yes.
He puts out the net on every garbage day at around 7 a.m., I guess. And then all people from the "han" (班:group in the neighborhood association) we belong to, puts their garbage bags in there.
The net is practically only there to prevent crows and dogs from picking the bags.
Could you send me the picture you spoke of? I'd like that.

found out im getting a twin famicom for christmas!! ;D
Lucky! All I want, is for my uncle to help me build a ribbon cable, so I can connect a FDS to my NES.
Ordered an anniversary present for my wife.
We have out 7th wedding anniversary in 4 weeks. :D
She gets a 160GB ipod, because she always complains that the PSP with 4GB mem stick isn't enough. :)
The same week as Christmas? That's pretty cool! :D I'm sure it'll be fun.
Last thing I did was clean up the living room. I had my Wii hooked up to the big flat screen because me and some friends were playing DJ Hero and NSMBW a lot.
Right before Christmas to be exact.
Our anniversary is on the 23rd December. It's also a national holiday in Japan (Emperor's birthday).
Got off the plane, and to my fathers house... im so happy to be in seattle again!!
EDIT: Got back from gameworks arcade in downtown seattle!! played all day. tommoro is my trip to pink godzilla ;D
Pink Godzilla is fun!
I just called in a vote for a couple on So You Think You Can Dance. Yes, one vote. I never do that sort of thing, but I think it's important to do just about everything once.
Downloaded the demo of Pokemon Rumble and bought Excitebike: World Rally.
I had to call Nintendo because I scratched the points card too hard, so I couldn't see the first 4 digits. :-[ I have to mail the card into Nintendo, but they still credited 2,000 points to my account! :D
Interesting dork. That's good for Nintendo to be nice enough. Hows the Pokemon game?

Pokemon Rumble, from what I played, is a fun button-masher, but it's also the most expensive game available right now IIRC, and
that's no good. The demo is the full game, you just can't save your progress, so that's fine with me. I'd rather have that over a $15 save feature. ::) Hopefully they mark the price down sometime in the future. I'll buy it when they mark it down to $10

It's really fun. You need to like the songs on there in order to enjoy it though, which I do. It's, like you've seen, Guitar Hero with a turntable. The thing you're probably most confused on is the crossfader, which is pure hell, and was the hardest thing for me to get used to. The long bars of arrows/symbols are scratch bars, where you have to scratch the record, and you use the crossfader when the colored bars on the highway slide to the left or right.
Repaired an old hair dryer and a hair straightening iron that were given to my mom as broken appliances. They just needed their power cables replaced. We've got loads of free stuff this way :D.

Instead of going to classes, my web design teacher took me and around 15 other students that were selected to a career expo that deals with IT jobs and things like that. I found out I was the only freshman there, so that was pretty cool. Google, the Geek Squad, and a few other big companies were there, as well as a few local ones. It was a fun day, and I got a Google frisbee and t-shirt. 8)

:) That's got to be cool. You could run around and say you work for google. :D
Well, it's kind of not as cool, because it's the same style that they had when they opened the Google building here in Council Bluffs, Iowa. I still like it, but I would have preferred the original design. The ones they gave out have corn and a bird, and a flower on it. It's more Midwestern.
Oh well, at least it has google on it. :)
I wanna see the frisbee. :)
The last thing I did was pack to go to my grandma's for 10 days.

Nice one Manuel! I had my first Japanese lesson yesterday - I'm chasing you :)

Spent $70 on stupid RAM. Grand total on the PC is $354.87 ($314.87 after all the rebates). Within my budget, so I'm happy with it.
Woke up. I went to sleep yesterday at 5.00 pm. I woke up at 7 .00 am today! :o

I usually find them myself until someone discovered them before hand and unusually there's no code but there's always Geiger's Snes9x Debugger.

Picked up my little bro from the airport.

Played a few Famicom games while testing out the video capture on my new PC. I caught this Highway Star glitch! I happened to see it two or three times while playing and was hoping the video capture got it:

http://ximwix.net/storage/highwaystarglitch2.jpg (http://ximwix.net/storage/highwaystarglitch2.jpg)
The more subtle parts of it are artifacts of the deinterlacing filters, but the obvious stuff is all glitch. It's only there for one frame (~1/30 of a second).
Downloaded a few songs.
Spent seven and a half hours in court. :P
Ouch, for what?

I always thought my videos were shitty except my Dream Mary one because of the better quality, and the fact that it's actually informative. :P
Edit* You say my videos are good, yet you're not subscribed to me. :(
I tried submitting my Metal Gear poster for the 100,000,000th Deviation contest, but I received a "Can't locate filename" error.
Oh well.
Why not just take one of the ones you posted on FW? Unless you didn't post the final version here...
Yeah, none of those were the final version, & it uploads from your computer.
Second, it was a one-shot one-kill moment. It wasn't that I didn't have the file, something went wrong with the upload.
Edit: Just got a good deal on this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180448306215
By the way, is all that true what the seller is saying about feedback? That if you receive scores less than 5 you start getting charged extra fees? Sounds demented to me.
I went to the World WaterPark at West Ed. Mall...
Made a title rush.
Woke up (~2 PM). First day of summer break for me yay! :D
Checked out how Famicom World was doing, and also checked in on the forums. ;)
I actually had to do a double take when I read your post, Doc. :P You should post more.
Went to the Edmonton Oilers Vs. Toronto Leafs game, it was funny to watch Toronto lose and all the putdowns that were shown on the Jumbotron :)
Tried (unsuccessfully) to sleep. I think I have Restless Leg Syndrome. ::)
Answered a bunch of questions for Gamefaqs Mario games.
Reripped some SPCs
Got spammed on Youtube. >:( i'm gonna make a new account soon.
Found a cool pic of my grandma's house from around 1910.
Look up my Family with my Grandfather on Ancestry.com and he told me that I derived from a "Stacks" family.
Booked a flight to Europe! ;D
Awesome! Where to? (I've got a slight feeling that I already know the answer ::))
Helped someone with a GG code.
i've been sitting here like all day ;c
Got home from work and my friend's house. I had to help him set up Limewire and show him how it worked.
I walked to the flea market today. Now i'm eating.
Replaced electrolytic capacitors on an old pair of amplified computer speakers (the classic Multimedia PC ones that everybody had during the 90s).

Well I'm flying to Belgium, but will be spending a good amount of time in Germany. Big surprise right? I'm not sure exactly where else yet, but hoping to get to the Czech Republic and Croatia, maybe Greece and Turkey.
Bought Left 4 Dead 2 with my 75 $ in Wal Mart gift cards.

Thoroughly cleaned lots of spare computing equipment. I'm surrounded by so much stuff like old PCs and monitors that I'm going to give away some(most) of it.
Updated my Flickr. :)
Looked up train schedules.
I finally changed my image.
In that picture, you almost seem like a cross of my two bosses! :D
Are either of them Padawans? :P
Heh, I think one of them likes Star Trek quite a bit, but that's about as close as it gets. :D
I just saw an ad for The Simpsons season 20 on DVD.
What the hell?! >:( Groening is in a bad position right now as far as I see it. I think he's trying to milk more out of the 20th season then he should. Fox is having an hour long special, which is hopefully worth watching. The new episode I'm watching right now isn't really that great. :-\ Not to mention the obvious skipping of like 8 seasons! I mean, yeah I'll still buy it, but I won't be happy about it. :P
The episode was meh, but the special was nice.
Quote from: UglyJoe on January 10, 2010, 09:09:50 pm

I agree. I didn't think the episode was that great, but the special was cool. I just wish they would show (or release) the Tracy Ullman shorts on TV or on a DVD. He knows that any long-time fan of the show would buy it in a heartbeat.
Scanned a document.
Replaced the display flex cable on my cell phone. The camera suddenly started to refresh very slowly, then the entire phone started acting sluggish, so I thought it was a software problem but no amount of factory reset was able to fix it, I was quite perplexed about the cause of the slowness, until the display turned into this:
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/4452/dscn0697c.jpg)
Now that the hardware failure was pretty damn obvious, I bought a replacement flex cable for like $8 (yay for cheap Chinese knockoffs!) and after swapping the cables it's good as new! :D
I had to put my cat I've had since 1998 down today. It's a real shame too because it was nice to have a fluffy companion to cuddle with. Life comes and goes so quickly it seems...
That sucks. :( Why'd you have to put him down?
Cancer.
The labels on the pirated
Zelda: Triforce of the Gods games I received from Trenton are annoying; so I put together my own:

I'll get these printed out this weekend & let you know how they turn out.
That looks really nice.

Sure, I'm putting them on Photobucket - may take a while.
Edit: Does Photobucket resize the images? They aren't as big as.
The total file size is 17MB.
Saw the Body Worlds exhibit at the Franklin Institute.
http://www.bodyworlds.com/en.html (http://www.bodyworlds.com/en.html)
I saw that in Portland a couple years back. It was awesome! What'd you think of it?
It's kinda hard to describe it. I thought the more artsy displays were amazing. The exploded model was probably my favorite.
I'm messing around with my new phone. The LG Tritan. So far, I like it a lot more than my new phone I've had for 2+ years because of the better camera, internet access, better speaker, and the new GUI. We switched companies because of my mom's work contract thing, and so far these guys are better as far as service goes. I think my old phone is still receiving some of my text messages instead of this new one, though. ???
I now have a full understanding of the SPC700 DSP chip! Hurray! :) :) :)
Oh, no!
They came out too small for some reason!
I even measured them so this wouldn't happen. I'll have to get them printed out again. The cart labels came out fine, though
Edit: I checked the measurements again - they're good. It had to be on their side. Oh well, I'll try a PSD this time.
Edit: Just finished my sketches for a 3-frame animation:

Now I should work on a full-feature 120 min film! :o Haha JK :P
Your going to need many more frames for fluid animation. Try making more frames before you work on coloring it.
Printed call logs.
Added new podcasts (Savage Love) to my ipod.
Finalized my divorce....
Sorry to hear that FF. :(
Sounds rough, FF. :(
Last thing I did was fill out a card.
It's ok, at least the nightmare is finally over.
Sorry, FamicomFreak. As long as it works out for the better after all is said and done...
...as for me, things aren't going too great either -- I just got sued by my local government. :o

Finished my paper on the Soviet invasion of Poland... Now to study for my math final. :(
Which Soviet invasion of Poland? 1939? I'm a history major, I love this stuff.
Yup, 1939. Right after the Germans invaded. I wrote a paper, and am now working on a timeline. I need to find some good pics though...
Made a Super Mario Bros. 3 Music modifier.
I've cut my finger with some sheet metal while fixing a space heater :'(
Made a Super Mario World Map Modifier (Actually it's universal depending on where you are in game)
Updated my Itouch and fooled around with my new phone! (had to change my number because my ex wife to be wouldn't stop harassing me)
Pondered the term "chicken nuggets."
I thought about that before too. I guess the 'nuggets' part comes from various small 'nuggets' you get off the chicken, and you're not necessarily getting just the part you want. :o
Edit* Just ordered these two things from ThinkGeek (and got free two-day shipping thanks to the power of Google)
http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/unisex/generic/810c/
http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/hats-ties/a78b/
I think the word "nugget" is used because it's defined as "a small compact portion or unit." Chicken nuggets are small compact portions of chicken-like things. :P
On topic: watched the State of the Union address.
Gold nuggets also fit that description.
Went to a game store instead of watching the State of the Union Address.
Thought about how fucking tired I am, ugh.
Took a nap.
Went to Home Depot and bought a crapton of light fixtures and lamps of all kinds, colors and sizes.
Got back from a party early this morning...
..and now I just finished installing cIOS's on my Wii. Ugh. :(
Federal & State taxes.
Thinking about how close we've let our government come to creating the New World Order and how we care to do nothing about it.
Replaced the rubber seals on all of the bathroom/kitchen faucets and then actually fixed the gas leak (it was a worn out rubber ring, phew!), but still no good 'cos the water heater won't start up! >:(
... and MS-DOS4, I did take a cold shower :P.
Thought about how tired I am, and then thought about how early I have to be up, and then thought about how I'm definitely going to fall asleep during the two-hour court hearing I have to attend in the morning.
Read a crazy story about Luigison's life and well... it woke me up. :o

Made a trade for the second rarest Game Boy game.
There was a ~3 hour power outage this afternoon that forced me to play NES ROMs on my laptop until the battery ran out, in order to avoid death by boredom. ::)
I've got a car battery and a power inverter for emergency purposes but since I moved they're hideously out of reach.

Finished putting together ikea furniture
Wrapped a scarf around my sore throat.
ate some pizza while watching the big bang theory.
hell yes.
I've been really busy lately repairing some laptops. Fixed an Acer netbook with a corrupted BIOS using the emergency flashing procedure and also had to completely disassemble a really nice Toshiba in order to resolder a loose power connector. And I still have one more to go! (a crappy Packard Bell that powers down with the slightest bump).
Finally found my old Simpsons Comics Madness book from 8 year ago! ;D
Made 2 pairs of sega genesis model 1 av cables. now i have my sms AV, and my genesis AV. siq.
On my way back home from some errands I saw a lonely, beat up 14" box fan lying on a curb, waiting for the trash pickup to end its life. Since I don't have a cooling fan in my room and no money to buy one, I picked it up and brought it home.
It was really dirty and when I plugged it in it kinda worked. The blades turned very slowly and it made a horrible squeaking noise. Turns out it was just lack of lubrication. A couple drops of machine oil on the motor bearings brought it back to life!
After some cleaning with soap and water it turned out like this:
Just what I needed to endure the summer, and for free! :D

I just printed out 20 letters and now I've got to mail them!
Wow, Exploding Power Transformers = Serious Business. Look up some videos on YouTube about the subject ::) :P.
What you've experienced is known as a brownout. Unlike a regular blackout which is the total loss of power, in a brownout there's a substantial voltage drop but not a complete loss, the voltage may be even fluctuating wildly according to the city load.
I've experienced a couple of those myself, where the voltage drops below half the nominal value for an hour or more. Modern appliances with universal switching power supplies (i.e computers and the like) will happily keep chugging along with reduced line voltage (albeit with an increased current load), but bigger, linear loads like electric motors and lights will fail to start up. That explains why you were able to go online even if the lights didn't work. ;)
Me? Finally repaired my Ethernet cabling for good. It had several sections patched up with packing tape! :o
Woah. Going back 5-7 years, my grandparents had almost monthly blackouts, becuase of a bad transformer. The electric company kept fixing it and fixing it, but I guess the load was just too much. A neighbor saw sparks fly and some flame from it, but once they replaced it, all was well.
Also worth saying (I guess) During the Big Blackout in 2003, they and most of Buffalo didn't have power, but my block did. We used to live 3 blocks away. One street had power on only one side. Lots of extension cords going across there. :P
Ive never experienced a brownout. For my power, its either on or off, no in-between.
Oh yeah, on topic, put some clothes in the dryer.
Well, I got a call from my brother saying Dad died in the hospital of cancer. I'll be out a few days.
Sorry to hear about that, I am sorry for your loss....
As for me I am almost done with cleaning my place har!!
Got my hair straightened.
Edited a video. Now I'm waiting for it to finish rendering.
Finally e-filed my taxes. they've been done for a couple weeks now, so I'm not sure why I waited. ::)
Just finished reading that George Smith made aviation history by being the first man to bail out of a jet flying at supersonic speeds yesterday in 1955. :D
Heard about the earthquake in Chile, Mi corazón está con Chile.
Wrote a bunch of .fds images to disk with FDS Loader and Copy Master. 8)
Just felt 2 small quakes (I remember one more earlier), they say it was under the seabed, on the central region (seems like the crack was quite big as to reach here). I hope it doesn't take too long for the plates to settle themselves, I'm sleeping badly these days :-[
Oh, and today I built another Earthbound repro to sell, I need money ::)
Updated my blog and back to my healthy self.
Used my new MGD1 to dump a SMB disk hack to PC and write it back to another disk. ;D

Got out the car battery and inverter once again. Massive blackout in Chile, the power is out in almost every part of the country, the main electric backbone failed and the cause is unknown as of now, and with such a massive failure there's no way to know when the power will come back.
I have the Internets thanks to my laptop and the modem/router combo plugged into the UPS. The car battery powers the lights and a small TV for news.

Added loads of music composers to Gamefaqs.
WON A CIB FAMICOM!!!!
Updated my tz lists ( :P), and Facebook profile.
Finally got around to fixing my computer after my brother diagnosed it. Whatever it was, he said if I reinstalled the OS, everything would be fine, so I did, and it was. I just finished putting all my crap back on the computer, and now I'm reinstalling everything. ::) I'm just glad I finally have my computer instead having to share my dad's with him. :D
Went to a matanza.
Took a day off from work because I am sick but I am getting drunk now
Continued to support the Tea Party movement.
Finished a little project-upload which I'll be doing later, think it's all done, hope I don't have to add more information. ;D
Built a fdsloadr disk drive dump cable. Now I gotta figure out how to use it. :P
How did you do it? Did you hack some Nintendo AV cables?
That's what I'm intending to do but I need to find a good deal on them first (originals only, knockoffs are sealed and won't work).
I bought an extra ram adapter from ebay for $8 for the disk drive connection. I used an old printer parallel port cable I had and also a usb cable from a non-working mouse I saved just for this project for the 5V connection.
Packed 2 Sega systems w/cables and games into a box, for tomorrow to open a seller account at Amazon to sell it.
Ooh! Would you happen to have AV cables for the old model Genesis?
Went downtown to get some assorted computer cables, adapters and stuff.
My cat that I've had ever since it was born died today. Bootsie, if any of you remember the "Pets" thread. She was, I believe 5, almost 6 years old. She had leukemia, and we had her on medication ever since Christmas. She was so weak last night and this morning, it was just awful. I'm glad she's relieved of all of her pain now, though. The last thing I did was went with my mom to put some of those fake flowers where we buried her. :'(
It's always tough to lose pets. :(
Yeah, and it was such a cute cat.
Woke up to a huge flood. A pipe under the sink in the main bathroom suddenly collapsed during the night, dumping loads of water which happily ran over the wooden floor towards the living room, what a mess. My arcade cabinet's wooden base is completely soaked. :'(
Where is
when I need his services?
I made an attempt to rip a snsf of The Chessmaster. I'll have it ready soon.
Tested and finished my FDSLoadr dump cable. ;D
The USB is for the 5VDC usually supplied by the RAM adapter:
Damn cool. :D Someday, I'll get around to doing that.
I'm so lost right now.
looked at how all the titles of FW have changed and often have "Diver" added to them. Yeah, I know what date it is :D
My diver went swimming, probably.
Holy crap! look at my sig after "PS1" Holy crap! Look at your sig!
I was woken up by my "low battery alarm" on our smoke detector at 3am, then again at around 7 by workers cutting down trees outside our house.
Now I was told to move my truck while I was shaving.
Ate some eggs and bacon.
I saw my brother today (since we're going into New York City Tomorrow one last time before I move to PA next Sunday) with his father also visiting and we played lacrosse and I made him Easter cookies. I might go to the World Nintendo Store with an extra 75 bucks! Also, my 75 year old grandfather was playing with a racquetball and I was amazed at how fast he was. Me and my brother played some NES games and I showed him my test carts which he showed very little interest in.
Tell him how much they're worth; that usually peaks interest. ::)

No, I didn't go and I really don't care about going to the World store after their sickening display of nothing. Instead I went to Play N Trade where the asshole manager didn't let me test the Game Boy Tetris carts to see if I could find the alternate music version. I got a few games though.
Generally all you ask in a used game store like that about an old game is if it works or not. :-X

Well, not exactly. If you're an expert on video games who seeks solely to collect rare games based on slight variations, not including unnoticeable differences, you'll go to great lengths to obtain such items.
And the people who work at used game stores don't recognize or like those kinds of people, because then they have to go out of their way. :D

Just was on the phone with Steve, the language department leader of the YMCA language school in Fukuyama and he wants me to fill in for a teacher, who's still abroad and won't be here for another few days. In about 2 hours I'll teach my first advanced-level English class (I have some little experience teaching kids, but nothing worth mentioning). Boy, am I nervous now. :o
Wish me luck.
Edit: It was so much fun! I wish I could teach a regular class...
Our Japanese teacher wasn't too well of an English speaker. :P
But she was really nice & funny. :P& we learned a lot.
I was blow drying my hair after taking a shower as usual, when I heard a couple of explosions accompanied of a burning smell and the tripping of the main circuit breaker. After resetting the breaker, I couldn't find where did the problem come from.
Then I noticed that my clock radio wasn't working so I followed its power strip to the wall outlet. The outlet itself is tucked behind my bed's wood frame. This is what I found:
The right angle plug adapter couldn't withstand the current draw of the several thousand Watt hair dryer for so long, getting so hot that it melted and fused itself with an ugly red bed sheet that was lying nearby.
When it couldn't take it any more, the cable snapped off, causing a short circuit.
Damn, this could've started a fire. Fortunately it just ruined an ugly piece of fabric. Phew!

I was blow drying my hair after taking a shower as usual, when I heard a couple of explosions accompanied of a burning smell and the tripping of the main circuit breaker. After resetting the breaker, I couldn't find where did the problem come from.
Damn, this could've started a fire. Fortunately it just ruined an ugly piece of fabric. Phew!
You blow dry your hair?
Yes. This is my hair:
Hmm... I just use a towel and let the rest dry through the night.
Just posted something on Zophar defending America's roots.
added over 500 songs on my itouch woottt
Finished making my Famicom to NES 4-player controller converter.
I first tried it by wiring the controller ports directly without first cutting the existing PCB traces, but it wouldn't work correctly that way. After cutting the traces, it works great and includes NES Zapper support. ;)
And of course, thanks for the schematic, 133MHz! ;D

Just got up from bed, and I feel tired, my legs are tired, I'm tired but I still gotta get up to go there.
At least I'll see who I want. "Her" and finally admit that i one more talk than just about what we're there for.
Placed new stuff on ebay for sale!
Added more of my games in my tz collection. Still, nowhere near finished.
Took on a new translation job.
My first video game translation, and it's quite a famous game, too!
Is it Sin & Punishment 2?
"Wii 2" that's the name they're going to give to the new Nintendo video game system? That's so silly.
I hope they won't call it "Wii 2" if so they should've stuck to:
NES
NES 2 (SNES)
NES 3 (N64)
NES 4 (NGC)
NES 5 (Wii)
And about DS 3D, better graphics I suppose it'll have, better than PSP's graphic would be nice, playing NSMB with great visual/details and gameplay on DS 3D would be sweet.
It should be obvious they aren't going to stick with the name "Wii 2". The Wii was the Revolution for the longest time.
Revolution sure was much better than Wii, but in order to revolutionize they'd had to make Wii superior in all ways that the other consoles couldn't reach to.
And Wii has been surpassed, but people will still buy.

Packed a Sega Mega Drive (Region Free) + Sega MegaCD with 7 games to ship on Friday.
RGB modded a television! ;D (turned a cheapo NTSC TV into a high quality SCART monitor)
More details to come soon ;)
Presented my thesis.
Played some Genesis games on a Real console!
Seeing as I only had the cart of Zelda III, I made this:
Wake up and wash my face.
Yay for tomorrow and after being free time.

Seeing as I only had the cart of Zelda III, I made this:
Just the label or did you put the Zelda 3 board into one of those gyromite converts? If you did the gyromite thing, I'm defiantly going to have to do that. Care to spare a poor soul the image file so I can print that nice label you've made?
Yeah, I'll put the image on DeviantArt.
But I've got to warn you - the FC board (without a hole in the middle) + the converter inside won't allow the cartridge case to shut close. I had to clip the plastic inside.
And what are you going to do with the manual & case? Are you going to modify the case to hold an NES cart? :D
I decided to save mine for some FC game.
Hell, I'll drill holes in the case if I need too. Also sounds like it'll wobble like a mad man. Did you apply some hot glue? And I didn't think about modifying the case! Sounds like a good idea.
Just put up Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega Mega Drive in eBay (Non-working).
Lifted the output pin (12) from the J5 audio chip pin my Japanese Bases Loaded 3 since I hate this game not being the one I thought it was. No more Sabo at the startup screen or the crack of a bat.
There are screws to hold the converter in place, so I use that. Being a completist, I also used a back case that has the battery CAUTION label.
And is Bases Loaded 3 on NES better? ???
Well, it's entirely different game and I'm not sure offhand which game is the Japanese counterpart, but yes, it is way better.
Organize cables and move to Laptop leaving Desktop turned off.
With this one I can burn CD/DVD's.
And, using Windows XP again, starting to miss Windows 7. ;D
Let the dogs out.
Sold an Xbox Crystal boxed with 30 games and a few other stuff on direct person (collection in person).
It was nice, but I was expecting a woman/girl not a guy, guess the name doesn't matter. x)

Went to the toilet to do some "clean up". Kinda dirty saying this, but it's the answer to the question "Last thing you did?".
Cleaned off the couch downstairs to put up the new walls for my room.
Came home from a weekend at my brother's. It was fun. Went and saw Date Night and The Losers. Date Night was okay, but The Losers was awesome. If you like action movies, you should check it out.
Edit* And I also saw a commercial for the Shake Weight; the gayest exercise instrument in the history of the universe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbsSeVr5NSI
Played Super Martio Bros. 2 (The Lost Levels) and after getting to grueling 8-4 I lost and gave up in frustration, punching my FDS unit in the throat.
Buy a PSP.
And then I think I'll re-sell it for a higher price, it's easy to get buyers attention when inserted the information/needs they want. ;D
If it was a PSP go with homebrew it would sell quite high, but I don't give a crap about the PSP go!.
I'd rather buy a regular homebrew PSP then a stupid PSP go. It'd acually be worth the money. ::)
The last thing I did was finally jailbreak my MC model 3G 3.1.3 iPod Touch. It's great!!
Watched many of Maximumrd's videos and subscribed to him. I suggest everyone does the same. You have no idea what you're missing!
Found this:
http://www.metroid2002.com/maru_mari/001.html
I kind of like some of these.
Worked this morning and now I am on break.
Just ordered Zelda Twilight Princess NGC edition, I can't wait to receive and play it.
I hope I don't end up selling the game just to make more cash. ;D
Heh, at least you don't have to worry about a case cover with an NES version. If I do recall, I think the previous cover you did for the Famicom case had pretty wonky Chinese going.
Unlocked a PSP FAT gonna have some fun now. ;D
Took a final and did pretty well, I think.
Powered off my NES.
listing new items on my shoppe!
Just finished writing and publishing a new article for my blog.
133MHz's Junk Box - Sega Light Phaser to Atari XG-1 Adapter (http://133fsb.wordpress.com/2010/05/08/sega-light-phaser-to-atari-xg-1-adapter/)
I read some of Iwata Asks: Sin & Punishment: Star Successor

I'm disappointed to say I still haven't played the first one yet. :(

Gave my mom a present for mother's day.
This is the 1337th post in this thread. ;D

Oh wow. How did that go? :D
Pretty swell, I'd say. We just talked about Famicom and stuff. He's a much better speaker than he is a typer. ;)
Sat on a couch eating cheese puffs (Fritolay Cheater) and drinking vanilla Coke. I'm a couch potato.
Built an FDSLoader dump cable for a member on here.
Is there any interest in adding a tutorial on how to make these? I took some pics while I was making this one and could write something up for the site if it would be of any value to anyone.
Downloading games for my PSP Slim.
I'll UMDGEN v4.00 them to make 'em smaller (delete useless files)
Now I got a PSP Slim and a PSP White (1000 / this one will be sold in a few days hopefully)
Made a review for Famicom TV
Taking a break from work and checking the usual sites....
I know, I know - everyone's done it, but I just had to do it ONCE...

Eat Steak
Download Touhou Perfect Cherry Blossom - it's freakin' amazing!! :'( tears of joy
Just got a Score of 604200 in 1-Player Balloon Fight on my NES.
Play Taiko no Tatsujin Wii
Updated my blog and had an amazing dinner ! Wow it was so good I can't believe I can cook!
Said Hi to Luis
Getting ready for a long day of work. Heading out soon yay!
Finished my 5 minute speech about mobile phones for communications class.
Fixed the FDS drive I got from Marlon.
To get it to work, I had to build a spacer/washer for the bottom of the drive pulley, reset the gear assembly correctly into place (this is why it was locking up before), solder the LED wires back onto the LED, clean the read head, and adjust the spindle head. It now loads every disk I throw at it.
It's a 7201, too. 8)
Watched the Angry Video Game Nerd's review on Action 52.
Found out i'm getting a new famiclone and lots of games, so i'm really excited! :D
Finished packing up some sales and such. Shipping early tomorrow morning!
Watched a Taiwanese boy singing Whitney Houston:

Went grocery shopping.
went to mickey d's
Went back to GSCentral while still feeling uneasy about for it several reasons. :'( I at least submitted some codes I made. Was it the right choice?
Came home from school to find a bunch of new furniture. :)
Sprained my knee, lol.
Fixed a couple Game Doctor disks so they now work -- Operation Wolf (first zapper Game Doctor game I've found) and Family Pinball. Now I gotta dump and rewrite them before the disks get corrupted again. :P
Just finished writing my latest article (http://133fsb.wordpress.com/2010/05/22/adding-an-rgb-input-to-a-cheap-generic-ntsc-tv/). Boring rainy days are ideal for this sort of thing. :P

ahh nice you got it at a good price.
My PSP Slim pack got sold a few mins ago, don't fell very happy about it but got the final auction price was better than the original.
I'll re-buy another PSP afterwards for a low price and sell for high, lol. I gotta keep one, can't keep buy 'n selling.
PSP 2000 ftw!
Woke up.... at 4:30 PM >_<
Updated my shop! Visit it on the buy sell section! Also, added all that stuff on my eBay shoppe....man that was a lot of work!
Cleaned up a bunch of battery acid that spilled on my battery charger. >:(
Dumped the SPC set for the SNES Burn-in test Cart. The rom will be available shortly after fixing it.
BTW what's your preferred method for dumping SNES games? Standard SNES game copier or do you have an IO-56 interface card? I've been thinking about getting my own IO-56 (or similar device) but I'd like to hear from someone who has actually used one.
Woke up and saw that eBay removed my PSP Slim for not being within the rules.
Good for me I don't have to sell my PSP then. ;D
Bought a new Kingdom Hearts shirt at Hot Topic! ;D

IO-56. The rom dumps fine but one works properly on a real SNES. Emulators give graphic problems and not working menus.
Now: Traced some code in NES Tetris (Nintendo version) in about 20 minutes to get a working music modifier $06f5. Now I need to find the Title Screen Rom Address to re-enable the Title song that Nintendo disabled at the last minute. :(
Helped Tankexmortis figure out his headset and talked to him for a little bit on XBL. :D
Packed something to ship tomorrow!
Overwrote my XP Pro partition with Ubuntu. XP got itself a nasty virus which I couldn't (by couldn't, i mean was too lazy to spend hours trying to) kill. I do have an XP CD, and i'll likely install it by then end of the week, but I thought I'd give Linux a try.
Thanks again nintendodork! I spent a while chatting with Cam3ron and some of his friends after that.
Modded some stuff on my 360. I made my own dashboard theme (Prototype themed), changed the color of my avatar, modded my gamerscore, and got an offline mod for Nazi Zombies.
PM'd Van_Halen asking advice on buying the SMK Proto. He bough the guy's other one and maybe he has some info on why he picked the one he has.
Ate some lunch. Mmm. Grilled cheese

Whatcha think guys? ::)
I think it fits nicely.
Yes, It looks really good.
Got back from New york after vising family for Memorial Day.
updated shop! Buy buy buy!
Cracked the combination of a bicycle lock I had lying around.
Updated my old desktop running Win 98 First Edition with usb support so I can finally use flash drives with it instead of floppies for data transfer.
NUSB33.EXE? I swear by this driver for adding USB Mass Storage to Windows 98. It really breathes new life into that old OS. :)
Yep, that's what I used. :)
Configured my wired Xbox 360 controller with Xpadder to work with Combat Arms. I'm so much more used to CoD controls than PC controls. :D
btw, if any of you play that, my username is tylermeyer. I'm not creative.
Said goodbye to my friends of 8+ years. Today's graduation day. :'(
Got dismissed from the ACT test. :-[
Switched the buttons on my Guitar Hero controller, so now the order is red, orange, yellow, green, then blue instead of the original green, red, yellow, blue, orange.
Spent many hours playing Heart Gold, The World Ends With you, and WarioWare D.I.Y (Which I promptly plan on exchanging for a *new* copy tomorrow or my money back.)
Today must be "Fix old car audio crap" day. First, I repaired an old MTX electronic crossover I had in my closet by replacing a faulty metalized film cap and correcting a broken trace. Then I tested an old 1500 watt amp that's been in protect mode for about a year and ordered some new output transistors to finally get it working again. Not sure why it took me so long to get around to it. ::)
I went shopping with my girlfriend for a bunch of baby stuff to finish off the list of things we needed. Oh yeah, I am having a baby, and his due date is July 21st 2010. So just under a month. His name is Coltin.
Congrats, dude ;D

You know how sometimes you have one or two bubbles left on a multiple choice test when they call time, you just scribble them in really fast as a guess just so you can fill it in? Yeah. Part that sucked was my instructor caught me on the first test but didn't dismiss me til after the second, which means I had to do the math part for no reason. >_>

Got the output transistors on Saturday and just replaced them in the amp today. Tested it and it now works great again. Guess I can sell it now since it's long been replaced with a different amp :P
I proposed to my girlfriend on friday night ;D
I'll go ahead and assume she said yes. :P Congratulations!

On the couch at my apartment and I just kinda asked. If I had tried to do anything special she would have seen it coming, so I threw the question out there in the middle of our usual weekend routine -- caught her completely by surprise!
Congratulations! What a nice thing to do to celebrate the release of Sin & Punishment 2. ;)
Congrats UglyJoe! :D
Swapped out the video card on the PC that runs my arcade cabinet.
Set up all the corn selling stuff. Today's a slow day.
Updated my computers including my old one with windows 98se yay! Added some DOS games to it and other stuff. Going to install some PC games shooters to see if I can play them online multiplayer! WOOTT!
Fell down from my chair. Ouch. :'(
had a coffee break ;D
A video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqnSc3JMRj8) showing off my homebrew LED matrix display. You guys should be able to identify the font I used right away. ::) :P
133, that's pretty cool! You should get yourself an Arduino microcontroller or make one. I bet you'd make some cool projects with it.
Last thing I did was install a new Kenwood head unit in my car.
Sold a game.
Smashed my foot under a lawn mower. :'(
Ouch. :( At least it wasn't on!
I'm a bit late, but congrats, UglyJoe!
Let us know when LittleUglyJoe is on his way! ;D
This isn't something I've done YET, but tomorrow I'm going on my first yard sale excursion with a friend. I hope I find a NES or something.
Just came back from our new apartment.
We now have electricity, gas and internet. Yay! We'll probably move this weekend. After the move I should have more time to play games and hang out on the forums again! :D
Played emulated Wii with a real Wiimote via Bluetooth. Pure awesomeness.
Packed a lot of books, DVDs, games and other random stuff in many boxes.
Installed FireFox on my new laptop. After doing some research, getting a new laptop was only slightly more expensive than fixing my Toshiba's problem. :-\
Cool, or unfortunate, depending on how you look at it, What kind is it?
OT: Played a little Mario on my Nintendo.

They taste/smell a lot better than cigarettes. What disc image did you try to download? I remember I had a few problems getting Dreamcast ISOs because half of the ones I found were in a weird format that I don't remember the name of..
Where do you normally get them from? I don't remember where I got most of mine but I think one of the sites was <deleted by mod>. You didn't used to have to register to download stuff but if that's not an issue for you I would recommend you try that.
mod edit: Don't post links to rom sites, please. Take it to PM's ;)
An MDF is an N64 sound file if i remember correctly.
No, wait. They're for burning programs. I think Alcohol 120 will burn those.
Sorry about that UJ, forgot that it applied to rom sites and not just roms. Last thing I did was pack for a trip to Sogen-Con in Sioux City, South Dakota with my cousin and his friends. My first anime convention! ;D

Spent the majority of the day trying to rebuild my old laptop's battery. I shove it in, and NOTHING.
My theory is that the little circuit board is fried ( I saw it, or a battery make a spark, must've been it) and luckily I have another one, so tomorrow I'm gonna switch them out and see what happens. :(
Update: Switched them out and still nothing. I guess that makes the last thing I did be get angry at my laptop battery.
watched funny people while typing this on famicomworld
Woke up from a pretty long nap I took after getting my braces. :-\
Fixed my mailbox. Some punks ran it over, but I got their license plate!
Held my girlfriends hand and supported her as she gave birth to our son.
Coltin Vincent Bridgeford VanRassel, born Monday, August 2nd, 11:18am. Standing 21.5 inches tall and weighing in at 9.3 LBS. Welcome to the world little guy. :)

Jammed my finger. It's SO HARD TO TYPE! :-\
Broke my over priced headphones. >:(
God damnit.
They didn't happen to be the Beats by Dr. Dre did they? I've heard from numerous sources that those are really flimsy.
No, it was a G35 Headset. They lasted a good long year before they broke last night though so I don't feel too ripped off.
Built a new PC for my sister after I accidentally damaged her motherboard while replacing the CPU cooler two days ago (now it won't boot unless I clear the CMOS every time).

I just brought out the garbage.

Please tell me you didn't go to Kansas City just for that!
Well, that was the reason we went, and I should've made my post clearer but I just now got home from Kansas City. We left before noon on Saturday, stayed in a hotel overnight, and did some sightseeing, shopping, walking around, etc.
Actually, I just said that because I saw him on TV with a ventriloquist puppet; & it just seemed like the most typical performance: it was one-way where only the puppet was being funny, & insulting Jeff the whole time.
Most of his shows are probably not like that, though. :-\
Well, he is a ventriloquist, but his show last night wasn't really just his puppets insulting him. It was a back-and-forth thing, and there was a fairly big portion that was just him.
Speaking of Ventriloquists:

Wow, I need to try that.
Is that type of keyboard more ergonomic?
Yep, that's why it's called an ergonomic keyboard. :P
I honestly didn't know that. :P
Does it feel more comfortable? Does it take a while getting used to?
Well, when I was younger and my typing was hunt and peck style, my school had some of those keyboards and I absolutely hated them. Then I learned to touch type properly and I absolutely love them now. I can't imagine going back to a regular keyboard for more than a few moments using somebody else's computer. They're just that comfortable. If you can touch type, that is.
As an added bonus, the ergonomic keyboard and the mouse on the left hand side tend to keep other people away from my workstation. ::) :P

Actually no, you made another account, which even Earthwormjim55 could do, so you did nothing exciting there.
no because my IP got banned from here
Well I hope they do it again. Within his first 4 posts, dude went and thread crapped on my latest FS thread. Nice way to be part of a community ::).

Upgraded my iPod to iOS4. Lost my jailbreak in doing so, but that's okay for a little while. They've already found an exploit in 4.1, so it's only a matter of days/weeks before it comes out. I'm really liking this multitasking and folders stuff. :)
Yeah except ios 4 is incredibly slow unless u have an ipod or iphone 4. Btw when you jailbreak you should totally install my famicom theme. Im making a famicomworld battery theme havent got to work on it yet. I cant wait for the 4.1 jailbreak! I wanna jailbreak my iphone 4!

Everyone I've met who's used iOS4 says it's really slow on their 3G iPods but so far I haven't noticed any signs of slowdown whatsoever. I've tested this a bit with multitasking different apps, putting stuff into folders and downloading stuff, and it's never any slower than it was. I really like it.

Repaired my VGA box's power supply. Since my birthday party the power brick itself has been hissing and producing hum bars in the picture. Today I opened it up and found two bulging capacitors leaking electrolyte. Chinese crap at its finest. >:(
Replacing them with high quality Japanese capacitors turned out to be a little tricky because of their larger physical size, but it solved the problem for once and for all. :)

Was playing Earthbound Zero when I noticed by looking at the game map screen, it takes place in the area where I live! (Washington, USA)
Is there a podunk in washington?
No, "Podunk" refers to a place "in the middle of nowhere" which fits in with the story about how a couple in the middle of nowhere America disappeared. Marysville and Spokane are both here, Union Stations are all over the US, but there's two in WA I think. There's a Youngtown in Seattle, but I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the real location. Reindeer could be referring to Mt. Rainier, and Ellay may refer to L.A. which is actually two states below WA.
It's a conspiracy. ::) :P

It might be this way because Nintendo of America is in Washington. Also, does anybody know what NOA does anyway? Aren't all nintendo designed games programmed in Japan?
I would assume at the very least they handle localization & censorship,
not to mention translating,
as well as marketing for western consumers,
not to mention publishing locally made games,
as well as handling legal issues in the states...
That's what I figure.

Got hit by a Twitter exploit. Looks like a bug in their auto-expand-shortlinks code. Annoying since I can't use the site, but bravo for fun exploits (as opposed to annoying install-malware exploits).
cleaned my desk.
Burned a copy of the Sonic CD beta. Only cost me $8 and an hour of research, AND this can be done with any sega cd game!
CD-Rs are expensive wherever you live :o
? Please tell me that was a joke! I got 50 of them for $8
Oh, that's better :P
50 Sega CD games. :P
That's, like, 1/4th of the entire library! :o
If I had the patience i would burn a good part of them, but the process is so time consuming. It takes 30-45 minutes depending on which file formats you get. So far i have like 7. Mostly shmups.
Soldered a cartridge slot to my "street fighter II" sega radica plug'n'play console and played a little Sonic 1 on it... yeah horrible sound but it works!

Hehe 3 phones but one at a time. I first got a phone and my dad got an evo. He decided to give it to me, but he did not want to have my phone. So I got a blackberry curve and when the rebates come in we switch our phones.

Found out today that a guy I work with has an NES Miracle Piano somewhere in his attic.
Is he going to sell it to you? Those keyboards are pretty neat, although I wish you could actually produce chiptune. Instead the dumb sound comes out of the keyboard :-\
I didn't ask if he wanted to sell it. It just sorta came up in the middle of a conversation -- would have been weird to ask him. He bought it for his son back when it was in stores. He said he had it somewhere but probably didn't have the cart or the NES anymore.
Prepared for my closong argument in my mock trial.
Got back from taking one of my guinea pigs to the vet. She has a tumor and will have surgery next week with a possible rear leg amputation depending on how deep the tumor is. :(

One for me and one for my girl so I can a) play it without hassle and b) show her she can't play Chun Li as well as she thinks she can :)
Yes guys, 3D effect is awesome, on max it comes out of the screen about 4" I'd say and the backgrounds go back about 6-8". It's really sharp too - videos on gamespot etc make it look blurry and fudged but it's much nicer than my PSP screen for example, much nicer.

I picked my guinea pig up from the vet after surgery. They had to amputate her entire right leg right up to the hip. :( She seems to be doing well, she's eating and moving around, which is way more than I'd be doing in the same situation. They made her a collar to prevent her from messing with her stitches.

If you were talking to me, I was an idiot and did the nes lockout mod on my system. The mod worked out fine but now the system won't re-assemble correctly. The cartridge chassis pushes down but won't spring back up whenever I screw the top case back on. I'll have to figure it out later.

I am sorry to read that ericj, I hope everything gets better over time.
My condolences. :( It sucks to lose a pet.
It's so heartbreaking when a pet dies!
My chinchilla died 2 weeks ago, i miss him so much, i know how it feels man, sorry dude that sucks.
Thanks for the kind, understanding messages. Before this, it had been about 7 years since I lost a pet, and that was a cat that lived to be 17 y/o. I forgot how hard it is to lose a pet. Also, my condolences for the loss of your chinchilla, famiac. I considered getting chinchillas while I was deciding what kind of pet to get, but ultimately decided on guinea pigs.
I'm grateful that I have a lot of video & webcam footage of her, plus tons of photos. For those of you who don't know about it, I have a live guinea pig webcam site at www.happycavy.com (cavy is another name given to guinea pigs). Feel free to check it out. And here's a post about Piglet's passing: www.happycavy.com/8un
On topic: Just got home from grocery shopping.
Is this website completely yours? Hammy has a lot of friends on Facebook for a guinea pig. :o My dog only has 40! :P
Yeah, it's completely my site, built on WordPress. :) Lots of people like guinea pigs, so she gets lots of friends.
that sucks to hear. We've always had a guinea pig in the house, and I bought the latest one that is 3 years old. The guinea pig and the dog are the same age and they always got along. I used to put the guinea pig and the dog down for naps and it was funny. They still get along to this day, funny how animals form these bonds when they are young.
Anyways, I just got up and walked to my high school and was apparently the only one to do so today...

An interesting side note about having guinea pigs with dogs is that dogs (and even cats and rabbits) may carry Bordetella, which can cause respiratory illness in your guinea pig. Ideally, they should not be housed in contact with guinea pigs. But, cavies at risk of exposure may be vaccinated twice yearly for Bordetella to prevent infection; the vaccine must be a killed product, as live vaccines may cause illness in cavies. Even if your dog isn't a carrier at this time, he may easily become infected with it. Just an FYI. :)
1.thanks ericj for the tip
2. some stupid video about biology
yeah, thanks eric. I was aware of this a while ago and my guinea pig has been vaccinated with a few different shots in the past as well as that one since they did it for free back home. This was about a year ago though and I'm not sure if shots are free here.
Only problem I have with my guinea pig is cleaning the cage here... It's a pain, it was a really good deal on the cage (60 bucks for a 4 floor cage) the only hard part is maneuvering the stupid cage out of a small closet, around a bookshelf and a dresser and a few other things. I want to get something like what you have since I've seen those square connectible tiles cheap pretty much everywhere. (usually advertised as shelving but w/e lol) Only problem is I wouldn't know what to use for a floor.
I just got off playing games with my brother.
You can use coroplast (corrugated plastic) for the floor. It's the same stuff signs are made out of, and you can buy a 4' x 8' sheet of it for around $35 at Fast Signs or other signage stores. I just have mine made out of a sheet of that with plywood cut out for underneath it for stability (coroplast by itself isn't too strong) and it sits on top of more of the cubes, which double as storage areas for newspaper, food, hay, and towels. I use newspaper on top of the coroplast with a few towels and then fleece bought from a fabric store with some additional towels on top of it for the "bedding" area. I've gone through about 5 or 6 different cage configurations before settling on the current one you see pictured on the site. http://www.happycavy.com/where-we-live/

cheap? are you kidding me? 249.99 is not cheap
I said "cheaper" (comparative form).
25000 Japanese Yen are equivalent to 305 $ right now. 250 is pretty darn cheap compared to that.
And your notion of "cheap"/"expensive" will change once you have a regular job. Trust me. ;)
When a new game console costs less than 1% of your annual income you don't see it as that expensive any more. At least that's how it is for me.

Agreed. I used to think that $250 was a lot of money, but now I can spend that on a weekend without even trying and not really have anything to show for it.

you shouldn't have said that. your monthly payment (after some calculation done) is cca 5x higher than a "higher-standard" payment over here. ;(
Really?
I don't think so. I'm sure there's a mistake in your calculation. :D I most certainly don't make 5 times as much as a higher-standard worker in Slovakia.
It's a bit off-topic, but what's the average salary in Slovakia?
edit: googled it: around 745 Euros per month. (proves my point! I make more than that, but not 5 times more.)

Post Merge: March 29, 2011, 08:13:57 pm
To get my mind off of the fact that a 14 year old is getting some and no me, I have invented a more universal Frogger play sound effects/music/voice code:
Frogger
Sound Modifier (David Lubar, the programmer for Frogger stole the sound code from Ren & Stimpy Buckaroo$, which was composed by Mark Van Hecke. You can even access what scrambled mess remains of the music with values 29-31, 16 and 39 are Ren & Stimpy's voices. Rest of the values are sound effects and end at 3D.)

Quote from: nensondubois on March 28, 2011, 07:05:43 pm
I also read that someone found something weird like this in another game. Wonder how far this trend stems. Hmmm...
Is there proof that he actually "stole" the code? David Lubar did work on Buckaroo$ as well (and Mark Van Hecke was the Audio Director, who I doubt did any coding, according to Gamefaqs, at least). I've heard of things like this happening (assets from other games appearing in unused portions of other games). Most of the time, as far as I know, it's due to how memory allocation is handled on workstations that are used for more than one game.
When you allocate memory, you don't have to clear the contents of the memory. So if they were to allocate 16kb of memory (arbitrarily chosen amount) to hold some sound data, it's possible that the allocated memory could hold sound data (or other data) from another game, assuming that its assets were recently used on that workstation. If they were to allocate 16kb and use only 10kb of that data, but burn all 16kb to the chip, then you'd have 6kb of assets from another game sitting on the chip. Things like that happen, and it's not really stealing at all.
Well, there where no other hints that he didn't steal the code. Mark van Hecke isn't credited anywhere in Frogger and Gamefaqs is unreliable sometimes and I didn't play through Buckaroos to completetion.
I know how games work... I'm a hacker; I deprogram games mostly for the sole purpose finding unused game content and to rip music (psst! see my GBS rips).
Finally sorted out a feedback issue.
I'm truly sorry if I forgot about someone...

Ripped the audio for the songs on Between the Buried and Me's Colors Live DVD that weren't on the audio CD. These guys sound great live. I recommend anyone who likes metal to take a listen.
^I saw them about a decade ago and they were really good, but I'm not much of a fan of their newer stuff. I'll take a look though.
Got off the phone with the Russian consulate in New York. Why do they make it so hard to visit their country?!?
A decade ago could mean right from their very start with their self-titled album and The Silent Circus. They've drifted away from grindcore since then and have more of a distinguished sound to them I think. Even if someone doesn't like them, they can still appreciate them for how good they sound live compared to their studio recordings. I would say if you didn't like Colors or anything after that, you still won't like them. Although I think Colors was their best work so far, and their Colors Live DVD makes me appreciate it even more.

Woke up from a fuckin weird ass dream o.O.o.O
Did you have 4 eyes & 3 mouths?
no but i stole my youth ministers husbands toyota corrola and learned how to dirve a manual
...That's a weird dream to you? :P
Edit* I've been downloading stuff like crazy on my brother's internet connection since I'm at his house and it's so much faster than mine.
Did you at least retain the manual-driving part? That's a good basic skill to have.
Measured my body temperature.
Damn... 39.5C (or 103F)
I hope this goes away soon...
Walked my ass off in Petra, Jordan. I don't know if I even have enough energy to get dinner now haha.

Called the DMV since I just noticed today that my driver's license expired back in February of 2010. :o
Since it's been over a year, I have to reapply, take the written test, and take the road driving test. All that even though I've been driving for over 16 years. Bureaucracy at it's finest. It would have been nice if they had mailed me an expiration notice. But, at least I didn't find out be being pulled over by a cop.

Nyan'd for 2 hours straight.....i have no life
Well, they only make you do everything again (written test, vision test, driving test) after it's been over a year expired. Mine was a year & 4 months expired before I noticed it. Good times...

No psychological?
In Europe I've heard it's needed to also take now a psychological test just to be sure there's nothing mentally wrong with you (they don't want insane people driving).

Oh my god. I've bought four records so far. One record was an EP, which has seven songs on it, and that was $14, and then I bought two singles, one was $16, and the other was $8, and then I bought another record that had four singles on it, which set me back $15. I've spent $53 on 13 songs. I literally have nothing else to spend money on.
Oh, also, I still need to get a modern turntable. The one I bought from a junk shop for $3 just isn't cutting it. Got any recommendations? I've been looking around and found what seems like an okay one for $70. I don't really want to spend $100 on a turntable but I just might end up doing that. I'd like one with USB connectivity, as well.

Yeah man I've bought over 100 records in the last two years or so and I routinely walk out of record stores without any money in my wallet. USB turntables are nice, but not really necessary IMO. Sony makes good turntables for cheap ~$90, they're obviously not high end but you'll get a pretty good sound and you won't kill your records playing them.
I'll take your word for it and see what Sony has to offer. Thanks Hades!
I survived! The only horrible part was the nausea caused by the medication last night. Otherwise, I feel fine!
Got back from BSA summer camp, it was hot&sticky, my feet hurt like hell, the first year scouts were annoying as hell, and i have blisters on my blisters.....it was fun though
To follow up, I found a nice Crosley at a local pawn shop for $75. I'm lovin' it so far.
To continue the vinyl theme; dropped the needle on a new record. Such an awesome moment every time I put a new record on the turntable.
^ I agree. Last thing I did was got home from a party and put on one of my Deadmau5 records.
I haven't been able to get a job and in a blink of an eye I got one, it's not exactly what I was hoping for but it's really good too.
Plus I like the city I live in, it's calm and got my stuff here and I can walk or use a bicycle to get there. :P
Thank god I brought my collection or I'd be bored during the free time. ;D

A word of advice: don't lose that baptismal certificate. If you want to marry a Catholic girl, the priest is going to want to see it.
Got back from a wedding in Minneapolis. The wedding was Saturday evening, so after the wedding (which was nondenominational, so it only took about 25 minutes, which was nice), my brother and I truly experienced a city without our parents for the first time, and I loved it.
We saw a bunch of police cars zooming around blocks around where we were, and apparently they had used as many cars as they could, so they also got out the horses. We saw a group of about 50 kids (who seemed like middle-schoolers) running up and down the streets, so we assumed it was them, but a cop we passed by told us it was a "flash mob of 800 kids" who they were after, and something about fucking up a hotel, which didn't really make much sense to us. Either way, it was still awesome. We walked around downtown and met some interesting people. I definitely want to live in a city when I'm older.
Placed an order on Tenso after being completely unsure of their billing method. I can't wait for my mahjong games (yes, someone is actually saying that, and no, the world isn't ending.)
Witnessed a plane crash at an air show.
EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3ZRxXyv5_4
It must be so heartbreaking for those kids to see this tragedy. I could hear them in the background.
What was the cause of the crash? And was that Jack "Flash" Mangan?
The news says he lost control, but I personally believe he misjudged his altitude (you can see in the video that he just didn't pull up in time.)
And yes, that was Jack Mangan.
I was thinking on how to re-arrange my shelf to put all the Blu-rays together, I'll see about this tomorrow.
In the mean time, in a few mins I'll have to go to work.

None of us are old enough to have used floppy discs that much.
I'm only 23 and I remember using floppy discs all the way through elimentary school and some of junior high.
Some public Libraries still sell floppy disks for people to save their documents and such. :)

Coughed for about 20 minutes straight then threw up the danmed cough medicine i took to stop me coughing which didn't work then took some paracetemols and now i'm fine! Think i might go cuddle my son now he's all cuddly and cute!
Hooked my Genesis up to a stereo with a subwoofer. Vectorman sounds amazing 8)
Got a cat. Not too sure how I feel about it.
Cats are awesome. Give it time and you'll wonder how you lived without it. :) My grandparents were the same way at first.
Name it Chairman Meow.
How do you get a cat without really wanting one?
I want one, but can't have one (no pets are allowed in my apartment). :'(
Maybe post some pics of your new pussy... kitty? :bub:

Also, finishing up an essay on the Borg of Star Trek.
Set up Google Music, which is the coolest thing ever. I love being able to listen to my entire digital music collection on my phone.
Watched Zach Wahls speak about the strength of his family during a public forum on House Joint Resolution 6 in the Iowa House of Representatives: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMLZO-sObzQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
He was doing an AMA on Reddit earlier today, but I can't locate it now for some reason.

Watched some tv as I published some news
Washed the dishes while cooking dinner and watching a frog on my windowsill eat beetles
During summer I also hat a small frog (ca. 1cm) outside of my kitchen window. It was so cute!
Ate a biscuit. :P
Wouldn't that go in the 'Last thing you ate' thread?
Errr, took my dogs on a walk...
Maybe, but I don't pay attention because I'm a doofus like that.
Anyway, I made a lazy and belated fad response, but that's just me in a nutshell.
I have never see their "nests" or something. We just had lots of little frogs outside of our house. They're very cute, so I didn't mind. :)
I've also seen a bigger, fatter frogs, maybe the same kind you describe. But those really make awful sounds.
I started to make a loaf of bread just waiting for it to froof up so i can bake it.
Here is a pic of one of the frogs from last summer. This summer is proving to be too cold for them at the moment!
changed my rabbit cage
Finished writing a script in two days. I think It needed another draft. :-\ Too late now. :-\
Oh well, now I can sleep.

Bought a ton of games.as usual, I will list them when every last one arrives.
Pulled an all-nighter and finished my 9-page paper for my composition and research class over the symbolism and themes in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, and then proceeded to go to school, fueled by three 5-hour energies. I feel like I'm high on ditchweed. This blows.

Wait, that was only two weeks ago for me. :o
Word of advice: Going to sleep at 9 PM & then waking up at 1 AM is not the same as going to sleep at midnight & waking up at 4! Trust me on this one. ;) Especially followed by staying up 23 hours afterward.

I've done both of these, and in my experience, I've found them to be close to the same, although I prefer the second one. Once I'm up, I can stay up for however long I need. I could easily pull another all-nighter tonight if I had to, but I don't, so I'm actually going to sleep. :P
The five hour energies have already worn off. I didn't crash or anything, but I'm no longer jittery. I just feel like I do around this time every day now. :D
EDIT: I fell asleep at 7PM and now it's 2AM. I was really tired but had work to do for finals...so I guess I'm going to be awake until I get it done (which will probably be when school starts. :P)
Not sure if anyone knows because of the paid media blackout, but SOPA and IP Protect ACT are dangerous pieces of legislation that if passed would censor and break the internet. We need to keep fighting this and bring the entertainment industry down for this! :fire: :link: :bub: :diskkun:

Oh my God.
I went into the bathroom to find the toilet bubbling & shitty water flooding into the shower! :o
My freakin little brother clogged the drains through one of the toilets really bad. >:(
It was like a horror movie.
My sister tried to flush an N64 controller once.
This isn't funny guys. I'm not going to be able to take a shower or do other things for at least a day.
I'm glad I went to the bathroom in the morning before it got flooded. For the next few days I'm not eating anything!

There isn't a gas station near you where you can take a crap and steal some food?
Honestly, the first thing I thought of when I read this this morning was that scene from Dogma...
Hope your plumbing issues get squared away soon :-\
We only have 7-11's near here, & both of them don't have a public restroom. :(
The next best thing is the Jack in the Box. I can go there while it's open & steal some hot sauce packets while I'm at it.
Went out and bought an iTunes card for the first time in several years just so I could get a high-quality download of Cortex's Tropeau Bleu album, since Mediafire only has a shitty vinyl rip that's been passed around for ages.
Oh wow - can't believe I haven't said this yet, but out plumbing's been fixed since New Year's. :)
Or should I say... :bomb: <-dropping these
I made a RS232 cable so I could update the firmware in my video processor/scaler. Now I can play my consoles in 480P or 1080I--the Famicom looks awesome in 480P and the Wii looks great in 1080I on my 73" tv. ;D
Printed a sticker for my Final Fantasy II repro. ;D

Finished my four-year long work on a rigorous thesis. Finally I can play Famicom indefinately ;D
...is it about Famicom? :P
LOL no ;D it was just taking all my free time and left none for fun and games..... not any more!
Backed-up my laptop and did a fresh install of Ubuntu. I'm surprised how well things have been going so far, since it always took quite a bit of effort in the past to get my audio, video, and wifi to work.
I ordered a bunch of Bubblegum Crisis CDs because I was suddenly overrun by nostalgia.
Good thing those are cheap nowadays. :bub:

Packed a package for Nightstar699. ;)
I just got back from filming a few comedy skits with some friends. It was fun! It was a warm evening so it was nice. I also found out I'm getting a PS3. Well sorta. I gotta fix it, but if I can... it's mine.

Assembled a closet rack and a book shelf.
Cooked a pizza and am now loading Tribes Ascend up.
Worked on my Deku Mask for an art project.
Bought a "junk" VCR from Hard-Off. It looked great cosmetically and came with the remote control and even the instruction manual. The description was: "Turns on. Plays tapes."
So I thought it's fine.
Turns out it's not fine. I think there's a problem with the motor. At first the tape didn't go in, only at the second try. It did play the tape without problems, but then it wouldn't eject the tape. Grinding noise, power goes off. :/
I got the tape out eventually, but those 1050 Yen it cost are gone. :'( (Items labeled as "junk" can't be returned either...)
Another lesson learned...
Anybody interested in a junk Japanese VCR? :-[

If the junk Japanese VCR is factory sealed and in mint condition. Then it would fit perfectly in my collection of mint condition factory sealed junk Japanese VCRs.
It was once factory sealed 15 years ago.
That's gotta count for something! :crazy:
It's probably even repairable. If I was just not so clumsy and unknowing with electronics. :'(
I just fixed the main problem my Sega Saturn was having... stole 5v from the power supply and spliced it in with the power connector for the CD drive. Somehow I was losing 2.5v on one of the pins and it just wasn't going to work like that. Now I just have to get a new laser and I'll be good to go.
Scratch that, I frankensteined a working drive. :D
Just rode roughly 4 miles on my bicycle with Logitech Z313 speakers (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-980-000382-Z313-Speaker-System/dp/B002HWRZ2K) strapped to the back. ;D
Perfect timing, too! The music (http://vgmdb.net/album/2703) I had Manuel ship from Japan came in today. :o
Nice!
I'm glad you finally got the CD!
Finally got around to cashing in my spare change:
1 Half-Dollar
1120 Quarters
504 Dimes
309 Nickels
1777 Pennies
That's a lot of spare change! :o
Did I do the math wrong, or did you just get $364.12 out of a piggy bank? Nice!
I have a regular drinking glass in my room for change that I empty out every two months or so and usually get $20 out of it.
I never have spare change because I use it regularly.
I just did my taxes...
I just remembered I still need to mail my tax forms.
Finished my artsy-fartsy interpretation of the Deku Mask.
I'll add the leaf-things tomorrow.
Nice mask!
I just ordered a new TV. I originally wanted a 40'' TV, but instead I went with a 32'' LED TV from Panasonic. It's width and height are almost exactly the same as my 26'' CRT it will be replacing. :)

Went to EVE Fanfest this weekend, and it was AWESOME!
Testplayed the Dust 514 Beta and saw some interesting lectures on what's coming up in CCP's future, like the World of Darkness MMO and some interesting changes being made to EVE Online.

I like my shooters on a PC, but from what I could tell it's neither worse nor better than Modern Warfare and Battlefield when it comes to team base competitive shooters. But Dust 514 has so many more things than those two games, like total customisation of your character, earning and spending of currency, playing missions that MATTER and have an enormous influence on the game, leveling up skills (which btw will take 7 years to train all skills to max with the current skills available, so specialisation is key) and much much more.
Also the fact that it's linked to the EVE Online universe, and players in EVE can support Dust 514 players by delivering orbital bombardments and shipping in vehicles for the Dust soldiers.
In this pic here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nordnordursins/7007057997/in/set-72157629646729543 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/nordnordursins/7007057997/in/set-72157629646729543) - you can see a player in Dust 514 (on PS3 network) requesting an orbital bombardment from a player in EVE (on the EVE Online Network for PC and Mac).
Also the fact that Dust 514 will be FREE for all PS3 owners will probably put it up there with Modern Warfare and Battlefield as a contender for the most popular PS3 Shooter.
Edit: Pic link didn't take you to the intended pic, FIXED :D

Ah, figured as much. The cards have a scannable code in the lower left (looks like stained-glass). I was half tempted to scan one of the cards and write up a quick program that will spit out all the possible combinations. Been too busy recently, though...
I got weird looks for mowing my front lawn with a push mower!

I sometimes have porn in another tab while i'm reading the forums :P Also nothing embarrasses me these days and i've got a pretty thick skin i've been using the internet since 1997. I've also spent most of my working life in male oriented careers so what a poor office girl would consider sexual harassment i'd consider jokes for shits and giggles. I'm fairly sure everyone here knows it's all in good fun so it's nothing for me to feel concerned about.
Now about that porn got any reccomendations?
just kidding!!! The last thing i did was put a keratin treatment in my hair because it's getting crap and falling out from the stress of dealing with my husbands bullshit and raising an active and extraordinarily intelligent 2 year old

I can surely do that when I find some time to write it up in English.
It's really quite easy.
But you have to get one dangerous ingredient, sodium hydroxide, at a pharmacy. This is used to achieve the brown color, but it can make you blind if it gets into the eyes. :o
When I bought a bottle of it at a small pharmacy the guy in there looked at me very suspiciously, like "what's that weird gaijin doing with that?!!" ;D

Yikes! What's wrong with white pretzels? :o Or does it also affect the taste somehow?
It heavily influences the taste and also the texture of the surface, so it's really necessary. You just have to be very careful and wear gloves when making them. Ideally goggles would be recommended, too.

Paid the mechanic.
He only asked 500 Yen for the work, but he choose a f*ing expensive car battery for 9000 Yen. :o I hope this lasts longer than the old one. :'(
Yeah... but that mechanic is always there when you need him and he even lent us a car/truck for free sometimes, so that's okay.
I also think the battery itself is very good.

Just saw what's included with the Street Fighter Anniversary collection. As follows:
SSFIV: Arcade Edition
SFxTekken
SSFIIT HD Remix
SFIII Online Edition
Street Fighter Alpha 1,2, and 3
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max (PSP)
And that's just the video game part! Just look at all this stuff! http://glacier928.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/street-fighter-25th-anniversary-collectors-set.jpg
Bought one of these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&hash=item35bda8b4f6&item=230815216886&nma=true&pt=Video_Games_Accessories&rt=nc&si=BfzBgF7t7KsWAvzjj9%252FnTKzb7EM%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc) for my AV Famicom. Works great! :D
Installed the latest version of iTunes after three years of using iTunes 9 because I had no reason to update until I got a new iPod today! Even better news is I already sold my old one and the new one can be jailbroken! Huzzah!
I cleaned up my room a bit and found lots of long-forgotten treasures. :o
Such as? :pow:
Some CIB Famicom games, a Sweet Home OST CD (from the movie), some anime artbooks I've forgotten about... :bub:
Jealous! I need to get that movie...

Had sex with the wife
Cool?
Hey the topic is last thing I did lmao
In that case, Johnny, you could just answer with "the wife" or whichever term you prefer.
And the last thing Famiac did was cool?. Intriguing stuff. Last thing I did was push some buttons whilst looking at a screen.
Had a great day but a terrible no sleep night.
Watching the fight on HBO. Got a few of the boys and gals over. Tomorrow night, WWE Night of Champions. We do it all again.....
Recovered a partially eaten cassette tape from an old cassette player. No damage done!
Bashed my face into some Linden Script Language and sitting here angrily waiting on someone to come online so I can have said person lock said scripting so it's unmodifiable/unreadable by people.
Made an appointment for my legally required car inspection. I also need new tires (or soon I'll drive on slicks...).
Including taxes, insurance and fees that's about 950$. :'(
I'd rather spend that on a nice vacation at some hot springs... ;D
I just downloaded Chrono Trigger on VC. I've never played it, so I figure it might be fun. Hopefully, I finish it. I have a tendency to start RPG's and not finish them. The only ones I've played all the way through are Zelda 1, Dragon Warrior 1, and Final Fantasies 7 and 13. I've started and stopped probably a dozen or more over the years :-[
Checked my Rockman 6in1 proto for mistakes, haven't found any and was left depresed because it 's not working.
Just opened the boxes that all of my computer stuff came in. So excited to build it! :D
Have you ever put heat paste on a processor before? If not, I highly recommend watching a Youtube video on it before proceeding. It's not complicated, but a little goes a long way and it pays to do it right the first time (says the guy who had to clean a processor with a toothbrush once).
I haven't, but my cousin is coming over to help me build it, and he's built computers a lot more recently than I have, so he'll able to assist me quite a lot.
The last three processors that I installed with the stock heat sink didn't require me to apply any thermal paste manually. There was already a dab of it on the bottom of the heat sink and I guess it takes hold once the processor warms up for the first time.
I have watched a big test for paste applying and the winner was one small pea-size drop in the middle of the processor which spreads evenly by itself when pressed down by a heatsink. Anyway Arctic cooling MX II thermal paste is higly recommended (and cheap !!!), I bought that thing a year ago (4g) and re-pasted a bunch of processors with it, still have something in the tube. So far it's holding temperatures marvelously.
Great minds think alike!
Hehe, I've used that stuff for the last 3 computers I built. It's great!
Just finished building my computer + installing most of my software!
Woo! ;D
Edit* It's so weird, with my new monitor, I can see all of the boards on the forum homepage without having to scroll down! :o
Congrats man! Great to see it up and running :D
Can you take a picture of the whole rig?
Cleaned the fan on an HP laptop (Presario CQ40) that was running slow and hot because of dust bunnies. I have now verified first-hand that every single thing in this video is completely true (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpCJzdWxEbQ).
Watched that video posted above. ;D Awesome!
Gave my Famicom a good soapy bath. After looking at these pictures (http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=8544.msg124210#msg124210) I took yesterday I realized how dirty my Famicom has gotten and decided to clean it up. It comes as no surprise since it's the system I use the most. ;D

From today I have 6 students in the class. Very nice. :)
Just watched this... http://www.wowt.com/home/headlines/Teacher-Allegedly-Told-Students-To-Spit-On-Boy-174829011.html
This is the elementary school in my town. The teacher they're talking about in this story was the vocal music teacher even when I was in elementary school. I nor any of my friends liked her. :P
I hit my head really hard on the door frame. It still bleeds a bit about am hour later. :-[
Damn those low Japanese doors! *shaking fist*
Just delivered a fire hose coupling that fell off a truck during some huge fire in my town. I feel like such a hero.
I finished today's workload way before time. That's nice!
But I can't be bothered to do more today to reduce my workload in the following days. I'm so lazy when the deadline is still far away... :'(
What a coincidence! So did I! :o
I'm taking advantage of this time to start on my animation project.

Invited a Japanese friend over to play Ice Hockey on my Sharp Twin. He was super stoked. Until I crushed him with Team Canada ;D
Halloween is Wednesday so I had a bowl of cereal; I mixed Count Chocula, Frakenberry, and Boo Berry all in one bowl.

I read about that... No, I just shelved it. Anyway, I actually didn't preorder it. Future Shop wouldn't take my debit card, and I decided I might as well wait until I can get a Deluxe model in my Walmart.
I see...
I still have my Wii connected.
My son plays Mario Galaxy 1, 2, NSMBWii and Kirby's Epic Yarn nearly every day.
Wait, so what did S_M do then? :P
ordered canned silkworm pupa from korea
↑Had to google that... *now backing out of thread...*
I just downloaded the new Animal Crossing. :)
I moved all my food out of my refrigerator into another apartment's fridge because they're shutting the power off in my building all day to do maintenance. 5 trips back and forth across the street, plus trips up and down two flights of stairs. Joy!

On topic: I bought a black Wii U branded remote. Apparently, not all of them have the sync button on the outside. Damnit, Nintendo! I want variety! Also, Nintendo used the stickiest fucking adhesive on Earth.You can't open the thing without ruining the top. And don't accidentally brush the manual against it.
i built the inverting summing sound amplifier on TL071 opamp. And it works for me :crazy:

The last thing I did was wallow in disappointment upon beating Tiny Toon Adventures 2 for the Famicom.
Too easy? Lame ending?
No... well, it was pretty easy, the ending was in Japanese so I couldn't really tell what happened... I was disappointed because I love the original Tiny Toons game, but I never really played much of 2 until tonight. To me, Tiny Toons 2 is a good example of a game company attempting something entirely different with a sequel, and having it go completely wrong. I would have much preferred the gameplay to be more similar to Tiny Toons 1 (I.E. tradition Mario-style platforming), but that's just me.
Took a lukewarm bath. Meh. :/
I was going to play all night on the SNES with my girlfriend but we are not at home and stupid me forgot the USA to EUROPE plug converter... I tried to find in the house but no luck only found a UK converter.. I even asked the people who live next door but no luck... Oh well I guess playing on our DS consoles will have to do :-D

Oh and the stupid thing is that the US SNES uses different plug than the NES and regular devices :-D
I watched the first scene of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. If the entire movie was like it, it would've been spectacular. It's like Lucas went all out for the first twenty minutes, then lost all of his ideas.
Found a grammatical error in the unimportant dialogue in Street Fighter Alpha 3. I wonder how many of these are in the game, hmmm...

I checked a computer with Windows 8 at my local electronics shop.

Quote from: manuel on March 18, 2013, 07:09:03 am
Win8 doesn't have a START menu any more? WTF? :-[
The metro/tiles interface is the start menu. Win8 isn't as bad as everyone seems to think it is, but it does require some training to understand how it works (which is a very bad thing...).
Seeks like all new stuff is made for idiots who like to "touch" buttons with their fingers.
As an aside, I hate how the MS Office products have started to look, with that dumb "ribbon". It takes me longer to do everything since the menu selections are all over the place and I always have to look around to find what I'm looking for. Then some of the menus disappear from the ribbon. Whose idea was all of this? Everything doesn't need an icon... ::)
But I don't like the metro interface... :-[
However I think I'll (have to) get used to it in the future... All new PCs here have Win8 as a default now, so I have no choice. (I need Microsoft Office for work, so other OSs are a no-go.)
There are a few software packages that can get you the Start button back in Win8. There is apparently still code for a Start button in the OS, but it's hidden and/or incomplete.

Word has always been a mess, though. Over the years, I've simply heard the complaints change from "I can't find this feature" to "I can't find this feature on this stupid toolbar" :P I don't mind the ribbon, though. It's pretty much just a tabbed toolbar that attempts to be context sensitive (ie, show table tabs when a table is selected).

Unless, of course, you want to
draw a table. Then you have to figure out where that table tab is...oh, yeah, it's not there. :P More clicks to do the same thing? Whoever came up with this should be shown the door.
That's another thing I'm not looking forward to: getting used to a new version of Office. :-\
I agree. It's so stupid to make everyone have to learn a whole new interface with basically the same functions every single time you release a new version of an OS, office suit or desktop environment.
They should only change the interface layout if it's necessary for new useful functions or it really makes things more efficient IMHO.
Waited over an hour for my video to upload, only for YouTube to cut two-thirds of it off. >:(

i hope they'll arrive few weeks later
Good luck with your parcels!
Finally got my office into good enough shape to setup my desk and computer. Haven't booted this thing up since December! Everything wants to update all at once :-[
Got a kiss on the cheek from my little guy!
I wrote a post in the Last game played thread.
Tested a Family Basic program for controlling ROB. Needs more work :-[
Did you script it UglyJoe? It sounds interesting.
I just woke up an hour ago.
Just went through my monthly routine of eyeing up the things I want; Galaxy S4 and Head Mounted Devices (HMZ-T2 / Oculus Rift).
Got a test out of the way - did quite well. :)
Also beat Rescue Rangers 2 with my brother. I was disappointed with the ending. :( It wasn't as fond as I remembered it long ago.
Did you exploit the trick where you throw the other player at the bosses?
I exploited the trick where you die halfway through the level & collect more points to gain hearts.
I felt this game left a bit to be desired; comparing it to the first one:
-less stage order selection
-seemed shorter (or is it just me?)
-less power ups / items
I believe it was a rush job; it kinda shows (even the box art looks questionable: the apple is smaller than them?! :o Even the buildings look proportionate to their size instead of looking much bigger; the clock numbers aren't skewed like they should be but whatever).
The haunted mansion stage missed an opportunity to use the candles as a gimmick like in Brightman's stage of Mega Man IV, but instead they went the Ninja Gaiden II route where the lights just go on & off intermittently (maybe they didn't have time to implementing it?)
Don't get me wrong. I still liked the game & am glad it exists (& I wouldn't trade it for the world). The graphics & gameplay are refined, the bosses were cool, the music is great as always (except one stage! >:(), & that minecart level (enough said!). It was still a fun game. Plus, it's the Rescue Rangers! Who here actually watched that show growing up? I never knew Chip was voiced by a woman-- Tress McNeille at that! :o Just found this out.
Now I'm going to play Duck Tales! (2)
The last thing I did was read Jedi QuestMaster's assessment of Chip N' Dale 2, agree with most of his points, but admit that CnD2 is still my favorite one just because of how awesome the boss battles are... the pink card-throwing cat was my favorite! But both CnD games are great. I remember seeing the original cartoon series of it on TV, years ago... but I played the NES game beforehand.
Made myself a cup of tea because my kettle decided to start itself up. Yay for the ghosties :blinky: :blinky: :blinky:

Had relatives over for brunch, Cycled around the block for a few minutes then felt the rain starting to come down, lightning is pretty bad in this State, strikes really low to the ground. Figures, as soon as I come back inside it all stops.
Also ordered a Wiimote & Classic Controller Pro so I can get my 8-bit going on through the S4. Next step is to get a HMZ-T1 to play them all on. =]
Just a small car (Daihatsu).
Nothing special. But I must say I like the CVT.

It's a 2006 Pontiac G6.
I had just dropped him off to pre-school. He was straight into playing once he got in to the play room. He pitched a fit when it was time to go home because he didn't want to go home! He loved it which is good but they are having trouble getting him to do one thing at a time.
went to walmart.
also, the garage for that daihatsu looks friggin sweet. its my dream to have a garage like that to showroom my vehicle
Put Logan to bed! He doesn't want to sleep so he's just chilling in his room but I want to sleep!

Updated my site
;D cleaned my pussies! No mankey meow meows in my house!
You have two? Lol jk.
I drank 4 beers and had a shilly schmokie. ^_^;
I also cleaned out then insulated and poly'd half a garage. I'm going to be drywalling it.
Tested out my repairs to the as-is ROB that I bought. It goes up and down now! Just need to figure out why it won't move to the left.
Got ROB moving left and right!
Went to the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 launch event here in London, a great night!
Woke up from an unintended nap on the couch.

Sipped coffee and farted!
Brushed my teeth ;D
Watched the Cleveland browns crush the Cincinnati Bengals
I spent the last couple of hours pricing out a small chunk of my baseball cards from the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. I've had someone approach me about buying the collection, and I need to figure out what I need to get for them. I don't know if it'll happen, but at least this guy is much more pleasant than the typical Baby Boomer vultures who think they can sleaze me out of stuff for pennies on the dollar.

Cleaned up my front yard and had lunch with my olds outside in the shade
Cut down the grass in courtyard...
Poured concrete for a basement to a house I'm building.
Cooked the rabbit ;D
Rabbits are domesticated animals in canada. Somw people eat them but it seems odd to me. I hear that the meat is very tender and tastes kind of like chicken.
I just woke up.
Rabbit meat has apsolutely no fat and when is cooked the right way it's very delicious!
I just came home from soccer training
Had the oil & filter changed for my car.

I shoveled a bunch of gravel and layed rebar for a garage pad.... and drank beer. :)
Just got back from a S.T.O.P class to get my first citation dismissed from my record. Hope I never have to do that again (I don't have the option of course, since you're only allowed to take it once every three years for a citation). That's what I get for turning in a lane that wasn't a turn lane, I guess. Well, that and a smashed door. :(
Just set my clocks 1 hour back, gonna sleep little bit longer... (winter period time change)!!!

I was in coffee bar, drunk some coffee.
Drank a shot of Taiwanese hard alcohol (that stuff is strong), and packed some Christmas presents I am going to mail off tomorrow.
Went on a walk to the local shops with 18 kids from my sons pre-school class (including my son) to the local shops. came home then walked back to the shops and did most of my shopping for the fortnight.
Played Fallout : New Vegas... i'm tired of all those quests, going to bed :upsetroll:
I went to the grocery store to load up on cheap candy. I bought over 30 lbs of stuff for $28. Good stuff, too: M&Ms, Hershey/Reese's miniatures, gummy Lifesavers. Hooray for After-Christmas clearance!
Drank 12 bottles of Leo, a shit load of wine.. Celebrated the birth of Jesus.. I still ain't finished though.. Canna take much more, so gonna have to call it quits.
I was in the nature walking with my dad ;D
Listed some stuff for sale on ebay, including a set of 21 different Famicom multicarts (these were from my personal collection and I don't expect them to sell, but if they do, then that's fine by me too).
Gonna take a shower now, then get some alcohol, and relax for a few hours.
Waiting for priest to come and saint my house... i was very nervous :(
Got myself out of bed
I really didn't want to and I'm fighting the urge to go back to bed :'(
Listened to the sound of CH ching on me phone as another item sold on eBay.
Happy New Year everyone! Still 20mins till midnight here! Waaaaaa
Cut down some trees ;D
Happy New Year and play lot of Famicom games in 2014!

Tested out the HD PVR that I got for Christmas by recording Famicom games! Found a neat glitch while trying to get my Hatris cart to work.

Although I have a few Chinese acquaintances I don't know them well enough to do any celebrations with them. But it seems fun considering all Chinese shops seems to close down for a long time during this time of the year. ;D
The last thing I did was reinstalling Windows 7 because the OS didn't want to boot anymore, I tried many things but well ... now it works (again) :upsetroll:
Greetings
Swapped in an SSD to hold Win8. Works a lot faster now, but I still want to pick up a SATA3 card since my mobo only has SATA2:
Washed my hair ;D
Went to the arcade with my friends for my birthday party! Had a great time playing 4P pacman.
Woke up. I ended up getting a little tipsy last night.
Recorded some Bumba Clown cartoons for my little nephew :D
Picked up my new glasses (the last time I wore some was 20-something years ago!). I can see again!
I just changed over my laundry.
Brushed my teeth
Watched Champions League ... Schalke v Real Madrid 1 : 6 ! :o
I just finished 3 very tasty beers.
Made myself a whey protein drink with milk.
Watched news about the upcoming war on our eastern border...
It's pretty terrifying isn't it - all because one man in charge decides to ignore half the population+

Smeghead you will be fine - but it is very concerning when you're close.
I have been listening to Dire, Dire Docks music for about two hours now - I can't do anything about it...

I've recently though about this myself...people always speculate and mention gloom and doom towards Nintendo, but I don't really care too much as I just don't have much interest at all in the modern games.
The last thing I did was drank some water, talked with my brother, and listened to some music from the German band, Revolverheld. I love that band, and will never forget discovering them in Germany, when they had been the opening act for another band I had gone to see. So when I listen to some of their songs, it always brings back such good memories and makes me feel giddy as a school girl inside.

Last thing I did was spontaneously broke up with my girlfriend. Friday night had to fix my toilet, Saturday had this, now I wonder what dramas await for tomorrow. :'(
That's so sad to hear fcgamer, breaking up is one of the worst parts of life, hope You'll be alright!
i just finished cutting grass in my backyard, first time this year, first time is always the hardest, but weather is sunny and Spring is almost here!
FCGamer hope you're ok buddy, hope Sunday is drama free..
Baked an apple pie.....!!!! :)

breakups are hard. If it got to that point though it might be for the best. I don't know what went on and really it's none of my business but do believe this; Its a turning point in your life, and if that part of your life has hit rock bottom, things can only get better. Take care buddy!
The last thing I did was take my son to the doctor.
Carried out our garbage... :mario:
Just came back from 1 hour running :-[
Watched the news. News 12 New Jersey. Shooting in Paterson. Nothing new. If you live in New Jersey, you will understand that last sentence.
Washed the dishes :(
Wow. You took out the trash, ran for an hour, and washed the dishes. Work. Chores. Exercise. Ugh.
Put blue hair dye in my hair. Hoping for a decent result but don't expect much for dye under $10
Sounds scandalous. We need an /r/ thread for some family friendly pictures. Until then, pictures requested! Blue hair sounds cool. What shade?
The last thing I did was sleep in and miss my ride to work. Oops...
I just finished dropping off the last bunch of high schoolers. Then drove the bus home and parked it.
I've made some Hot Cross Buns! They're like cookies for Good Friday.
One 'ha penny, two 'ha penny?
they're like on this pic...
;D
Those look delicious! Are there raisons in it?
Yes it has raisins and inside too, i found the recipe on the internet, i think they're originating from Australia and in my family they become tradition as we abstinence on Good Friday... :)
We do have them in Australia but i'm not sure they originated here :P though fair chance I could be wrong.
My hair was supposed to be "Electric blue" but I wasn't going to drop $20 worth of hair bleach to make my hair blonde for a rinse. It made my hair dark with hints of blue. It looks pretty scabby and will probably be all gone by the end of the week
I thought hot cross buns were an English tradition. It'll be interesting to read up on them, they're always a sign of Summer coming.
I just tried out my new nes game Felix the Cat.
One hour running, it's so great feeling!
Norepinephrine and dopamine release. The same neurotransmitters activated and released when doing a lot of different types of drugs, or during sex. :p
The last thing I did was type the above 2 sentences.
Watched some cooking show :d
I just finished waxing both sides of my school bus. Now on to the top and I'm done.
edit: Just finished the whole bus. I didn't realize how much work it was to do an entire 77 passenger bus! Shower time :-[
Upload a pic.
I just cracked a beer.

One of them also knew exactly all about my famicoms when he came to my place. I'm really enjoying this whole friends with benefits stuff though :)
I also made myself a cup of tea and hung some washing out because the sun is out today and I have to wash some puked on bedding hurrah for sick kids
Feed my dog Nero ( that's the one which i almost put asleep, but i didn't... was sorry for him... )
I am in the process of having my twin boys' circumcisions done. Oh the joys of being a baby.
Just got done cleaning the house and packaging an item for a Polish forum member here!
Also just got some eye infection, as my eye is terribly red...gonna throw some drops in tonight and hopefully it will go away by tomorrow.
Played Kunio Kun no Nekketsu Soccer while my little nephew was playing around me, i am happy uncle :)

I just tore down a laptop for a screen and put it all together. It didn't work.. So I tore it all back down and put the old screen back in and tried it again. The laptop worked this time. Now if only I can get the darn O.S. installed, I'd be good. (crossing fingers I don't get bootmgr missing this time):-[
Waited for my son to wake up after having his foot stitched up after cutting it open pretty badly yesterday.
Cutts can be pretty bad injuries, I hope Your son is alright now!

When I lived back home with my folks, it would take 2 - 3 hours to mow the lawn, with a riding mower at that.
Well i hate when it's wet grass and then mowing machine or how it's said, keep on shutting down 'cuz grass sticking on the blade!

Is your sister married? She is Croatian, I bet she must be beautiful.
Yes, I one time had a problem when the grass was really wet, and then I got the lawn mower stuck in the grass due to the mud and wet grass...I really didn't want to tell my dad (who was working), but my mom is retired so luckily she was there to help me get the lawn mower unstuck. This was back when I was living with my folks.
If the grass was too high, I would have to go out and rake the grass...and the pick up the extra grass and throw it away, so that it would not kill the other grass that might try to grow.
I'm gathering my belongings as there are several fires near San Diego; one near our home. :fire:

Well, this isn't exactly the last thing I did, but it's kind of major in my life...
My cat Buffy decided to swallow an entire shoelace last Saturday. We discovered this when she vomited up half of it in front of my girlfriend. She then sucked it back down. Given that it was a holiday weekend, the only veterinarian available in town was the emergency vet. After they were unable to provoke her to puke it all up, she had to have exploratory surgery to remove it.
Two days and $1500 in expenses later, we got to take her home. She's on the mend now, and very much annoyed that she's confined to a bathroom. But we're just trying to keep her activity down so she doesn't rip the stitches holding her guts together for the moment.
The bill was pretty painful, especially at first. To put in perspective, I only earn about $1100 a month, and the girlfriend just lost her job. But I've had a friend volunteer to cover half of that, which is amazing of him. I'm hoping to pay off the rest in a few months with a few sacrifices. That includes no new video games for me for a while, but family comes before hobbies right?
The girlfriend photoshopped this Simpsons reference to serve as our reminder and rallying cry as we live lean for a little while:
That's a very nice cat, i hope she's gonna be allright, that is more important than new video games...
Just finished eating my home made pizza! I hate the wait time while it bakes.......It makes me that much more hungry!

That's about 5 miles. Next week I will try to increase to 7 miles, and continue increasing by two miles a week until I either phsyically can't do it, or hit 13. I am going to attempt to run a half marathon in about a month, so I still have a long ways to go ;)

I hate shaving. Gotta shave every day, unless I want to look like a bum :( Once I had grown a beard, but then my girlfriend hated it and my friend said it made me look ten years older, so it got axed when I went in for a haircut.
I just got back from a 8.4 k run, and am now drinking a Bit Burger. I hope tomorrow or Wednesday I can go until 10 k . I wanted to do that tonight, and probably could have, except I didn't have time as I had to get back home to do other things.
I also have to shave every day if I want to be clean shaved. But I have good beard growth so nowdays I keep a well trimmed beard, that way I only have to trim it about twice a week. Both practical and doesn't look too untidy.
just came from the shop, was really hungry and in the mood for tortelloni.... So now i have 5 packages =/

How much did you run? I ran about 6.4 k today, and it was a difficult run...definitely not one of my best, but I also ran it during the afternoon instead of in the evening, so this could have made a difference. More heat, plus having to stop every five minutes to dodge cars could have screwed me up.
I gotta get to about 21 k for July 27th, so far it is not looking good but I hope that tomorrow or Thursday I can make it to 10 k (last week I did 8 k so I think I can reach 10 k this week).
I am currently getting dressed for my Aunts wedding.

I always run 10km, and it's approximately 60 minutes, i also run afternoon and main difficulties are temperature and traffic, but summer just started and i think when it gets warmer i'm gonna run in the morning, and can't wait to go on the Adriatic sea coast on vacation, there is so much easier to run because of different climate and the air is fresher.

At the moment, where do you run? Zagreb?
For me running is more like a necessary evil to improve my quite bad stamina. I prefer weight training and karate.
Last thing I did: Some light weight training in the cellar. Biceps, triceps and some chest. I've gotten into better shape lately, but I always get fat around Christmas. :-[ I guess I need the extra fat to keep me warm in the winter. ;D
Made some green tea jelly. I can't eat properly at the moment because I had a rather brutal date with the dentist yesterday :'(
QuoteAt the moment, where do you run? Zagreb?
No, Zagreb is 3 hours of driving from where i live, i run in my town, starting from my house and 'til the end of neighbour town, and sometimes i used to run on the local football stadium ,but running in circle is not so interesting...
Today i'm going to fitness and i can say that running become easier since i started to exercise!
Drunk Kirin beer at the locaal Japanees lunchroom.
Helped my son open a package from a friend that had pink compression gear in it for him and he loves it!
Cooked some lunch for the whole family :-[
Went outside to look for my cat :( he's been missing almost all day
Leave some pastrami outside the door - it's a universal cat magnet, they can't resist the stuff. If he's in the area (I'm sure he is) he'll stop by to get it.
I've been riding bike and took a shower.
Finished doing some work. Had to go into work today, and had to do some work for my other job as well. What a way to kill the mood for Saturday. :( Tomorrow is game hunting game though ;D
Called ALL OF THE VETS!!!!
Still looking for my cat but he seems to be nowhere
Called my grandpa to lunch.
Got dressed
Good luck finding your cat. As an animal lover myself, I know how frustrating / hard it can be when they just disappear. :(
Did You checked your couch?
:-[ i'm sorry , hope she'll be found !!!
The asshole rolled in at about 9am this morning comes to the front door and meows once to be let in like he had only been gone 15 minutes! He is currently burrowing into the sleeve of my dressing gown. I'm so glad he came home safe

Drank some wheat beer (I really like that style) while playing ukelele. The funniest thing is as follows:
The wheat beer was manufactured for a convenience store here in Taiwan. However, it was made under the supervision of a German brewery, which is actually owned by a Danish company. Talk about an international beer!
Possibly screwed up things with a friend because all hell is breaking loose in my life and nobody seems to want be there when I need them.
Returned from center of town where was competition in cooking of shepard stews, it was very interesting, ran into my uncle (he is also participating) and there was like 80 or more teams...
i love that kind of food and maybe next year if there's again such thing i might try to be one of cooks :pacman:
I just saw a massive tree get uprooted in 100km/h winds and crush a playground in front of my apartment.
I am currently sitting very close to the eye of a major typhoon!

Possibly screwed up things with a friend because all hell is breaking loose in my life and nobody seems to want be there when I need them.
It is easier said than done, but you just need to hang in there and eventually these times will pass. I am sure that the folks here at FW will try to offer you their advices / an ear to listen, if none of your real life friends will. As someone that spent 2 - 3 years depressed, trust me, no matter how crazy the situation, things always get better, so you just need to stay strong (and you seem like a strong person).

Yikes! I was going to ask if there was a typhoon there or not, when I heard about those winds. You just need to stay safe, and hopefully it will pass by within the day or so.
Where I live in Taiwan, I am quite lucky as the mountains shield me from the typhoons. So when typhoons come, we will get heavy rains and some winds, but not nearly the damage as in other areas of Taiwan.
Testament to how strong this wee little lady is that today I spent the day breaking up furniture and putting it all in a skip bin and made my shed into a somewhat useful space. Also go me I now weigh under 70kg :)

THanks! The typhoon has passed, and no major damage except the tree and some minor playground structures! I know the typhoons can be pretty bad in Taiwan, we get hit about once a year or so in my part of Japan!
Read an article (http://www.thedailyjournal.com/story/news/local/2014/08/08/last-man-standing/13813423/) about the last remaining video store in my home town. I used to go there all the time as a teenager. Good to see that Jeff is still at it!

An interesting read. I used to work in a video store in the early 90s when I was in high school, but haven`t set foot in one in years. I do miss them, its cool to see one still up and running.

SNES/N64 carts fragile? I resent that! >:( Okay, I broke a couple tabs on N64 carts before. :upsetroll:

Bah! I ate a snake too, well pieces of snake (with bones still inside) in a snake soup. Does that make me brave too? Hehehe.
As for the last thing I did, well in about 5 minutes, it will have been "drank a well-earned glass of wine." Luckily I go into work a bit later tomorrow, so I need to relax.
So you can call yourself Snake Eater. 8)
I imagine a snake would taste like an eel... but I don't really know.
Can you describe it?
You're all making me sad about murdering snakes! Last thing I did was scan in 28 pages of bullshit that my ex husband has filed in court

I have never eaten eel, so I am not sure how that tastes (like fish maybe?)
Snake just tastes like chicken, or other common meat. But the thing I did not like is that there are so many tiny bones inside the body, sort of like tiny fish bones, and that makes it not so easy to access the snake meat if you don't know what you're doing (and of course, I didn't know what I was doing, since I only ate snake once).
Actually, here is a link to a personal blog post (with video) where I ate the snake soup. I am posting this here against my better judgement, but enjoy:

Back in the States many people eat crocodile, in the south. I would like to try it some day, but it doesn't seem too crazy to me. I would never want to eat tiger though, due to the limited number of tigers remaining in the world :(
I come from a land of deadly snakes :P Not been bitten once but have had many encounters with wild snakes never needed to kill one. Cause thats when the majority of bites happen
Just made a cup of tea
I would like to try snake but it's not something sold in Sweden and I can't cook it if I caught one myself.

Eel is one of my favourites. It tastes like uh, fat fish meat I guess. Too bad they are overfished in Europe so it's hard to find nowadays. We used to include it in Christmas feasts but nowadays it have became less and less common. In southern Sweden they had these eel festivals where a ton of different kinds of eel dishes were served.
I can't stand when i hear how in China or other part of Asia some kill and eat cats and dogs and i even saw on tv how they're selling their meat on the market.
What kind of sick people are that? they should be put behind the bars for doing that. >:(

Well I don't like it either, but I've also heard that in the mountains in Switzerland some people eat dogs, so maybe that brings it closer to home for you :)
Yeah, that's totally wrong, why can't they be satisfied with chicken or some cattle... dogs aren*t created for eating, that's for sure.
Historically dogs (and maybe cats?) have been eaten in all of Europe for a long time, and also in America. It's not a coincidence that hot dogs are named like that.
I also heard that it's more cost-efficient and environment friendly to breed dogs for meat than for example cows, and doctors have said that dog meat is perfectly fine for humans to eat, so I don't really see the problem.
Australia is the only country that eats the animals on it's coat of arms :)
We don't even have wild lions in Sweden that are on our coat of arms. Although I heard that it's speculated that they once existed in Sweden (during the bronze age it was much hotter here).
Although provinces of Sweden have their own coat of arms that often have animals that are eaten including deer, moose, sheep, salmon and reindeer.
I loved Sweden when I was there it was all sorts of awesome but alas I may never go there again :(
Last thing I did was check over a felting kit I bought on ebay. It's dodgy as fuck but I paid fuck all for it and I would pay several times what I paid for it for just the needles here so meh not pleased nor displeased with the transaction

Rescued this Shetland Sheepdog:
A friend of ours let us know that this poor thing was wandering around her neighborhood for months. Since we have 2 shelties, we brought him home. He isn't micro-chipped or had a collar but we are currently searching for his owner. If we don't find them, we'll probably keep him. He is a really nice dog.
You've done really good thing! He's very nice, smart and loyal dog!
We found the owners and took him home tonight. I broke down, though.
Remembered that I forgot to make myself a coffee

I was on hold for 30 minutes on the DMV phone line only to get kicked off. >:(
Seriously, fuck the DMV! I sent in my registration on the 22nd of December (when I got my paycheck), they cashed it in on the 30th, and I still haven't received my stickers yet.
What the hell did I pay for?! ??? Here, DMV -- take my money, thanks for not killing me.
I also made three online purchases AFTER that and they all arrived last week. I'd go to the freakin' office if they hadn't closed down! GOD these mutherfockin' retards.
Seriously, what happens if I get pulled over? Do the police have access to these records while on the road? I'm in California, by the way.
Returned from the gym a few minutes ago, i must say ... this time it was much better experience, i mean it was easier. - the secret is in Green Tea!! Drink it before workout, you will feel the difference!

its been a while!
ive been working on projects etc lately :v
i cannot find a job (one that i care to stay at anyway) and I would much rather support myself by making/selling stuff, so I've been doing some practice things.
last thing i made was this beetle inlay outta copper wire shells and some other stuff i had laying around. had a few pieces come out while sanding/ some bubbles in the epoxy leading to an uneven surface but i had a lot of fun doing this. took a few weeks (maybe months..) because of sudden cold weather preventing me from working on it in the shed very much, waiting for glue to come in the mail, etc
the block this is on is about a foot by eleven inches, i'd like to make something bigger next time (coffee table sized?)
the hard parts gonna be finding a decent looking slab of wood :v
My slow ass finally got around to buying a 3DS. :diskkun: Now I can playz Smash plz?
Ooh! And Shantae. I need to get Shantae.

All aboard the '80s nostalgia SVU!
I've been working 12 hour shifts tearing out the concrete floor and laying a new one at the McCain potato factory. I have no time for anything :(. Today is supposed to be the last day though. :)
What a boring Sunday. I slept in, as I felt my body had wanted a rest. But then when I woke up and saw the beautiful sunshine beaming in, oh I wish I had gotten up earlier, in time to take a trip elsewhere to go game hunting!
So instead, I've just been spending my Sunday cleaning around the house and doing other odds and ends. Now I am packaging up items so that I can mail them out tomorrow :)
Played some Mario Party:

I just finished up an overnight shift at the maple leaf meat processing plant prepping the floor for a top layer.

I just got on break at work. I'm working the night shift doing demolition at a government building.
Did my first day at work, hopefully I can maintain a decent amount of hours for at least the next month :o
Went to a friend's wedding.
Shaved my face after a month 8)
I need to shave as well ha-ha.
I just got off work and got home. Time to sleep.
Back to packaging more packages.
I found out about this place in my town that makes board game organizers: Broken Token (http://www.thebrokentoken.com/)
I know some of you here are into board games, figured I'd do a shout out.
I've been handling their package pick ups for a while now, but didn't realize what they've been sending out until today. :-[
Oh pretty cool stuff if you are missing some boxes or are making new stuff! Thanks for sharing!

What the hell is that?!A cartridge opener?
Wow a Famicom cartridge opener! Everyone should have one of those!
I bought an external CD drive and downloaded EAC to get better CD rips (and use AccurateRip to verify it), only to find out that my internal CD drive not only still worked during the set up phase, but was also the recommended drive of the two.
Don't you love feeling like you wasted some money? Are you still keeping the external?
I got up about 10 minutes go (5:15am) and am just getting ready for work.
I'm keeping the external; I forgot how using my Toshiba laptop's CD drive is a disturbing experience: when inserting the CD, it makes a noise that sounds like it's clamping/crushing the CD, then the drive itself makes so much noise, you hear that instead of the music/movie, and to make matters worse, EAC puts lots of stress on the drive by having it run and reread sectors for long periods of time, so it's even louder, and to add to that, it's now making a weird scraping sound as if the CD is scraping against something. :-\
Yeah, no. :blinky: (<- that's not Blinky, that's a screencap of my face)
Checked my PMs.
I really need to come here again more often.
This morning I registered to take the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (level N5) on December 3rd. Wish me luck!
Good luck!! :D
I should really study for N1, but I'm no good with self study. :(
But the last thing I did: Got a new job, in Japan! I was lucky as they didn't require that I've taken the JLPT!
Thank you! I maaaaaay be able to pass the N4 by the time December rolls around but I wanted to play it on the safe side in case something crazy happens in life and takes away time from study.

Today is Valentine's Day in Taiwan, ended up getting locked out of the apartment at after midnight, with almost everything of importance inside. I had the keys with me, but somehow the lock that I don't have a key for ended up getting locked, okay I know how it happened, but I will keep mum to protect the guilty party, which wasn't me. Had to pay $30 to get back in, luckily my wallet was on me.

Yeah. My motherboard has issues, though. I think there's a small crack somewhere or something like that. Since I built it in Jan 2009, I decided to finally build something new rather than tearing it apart and trying to track down the issue (which I wouldn't be able to fix anyway, most likely).

I finally upgraded my desktop PC from Windows 7 to 10. I was concerned about app compatibility but everything has smoothed out after a couple of years. This PC used to take forEVER to start up and then it would take Spotify another 15 minutes to load up. After using Windows 10's new restore function that allowed me to keep my files and only lose my 3rd party apps, it's running at a reasonable speed again!
Congratulations Let!
Thanks guys, it's meant I've been a bit away from FW for a week or so, but it's been amazing to have every day as just family time these last couple of weeks.
Sorted through some gaming items too which was long overdue!
While at work, doing my route, I noticed a Donkey Kong 64 cartridge in a box in front of a customer's garage. Then I saw a Sega Saturn next to it! :o I've never seen one in person. :-[ Tomorrow I'm going to ask about it. :bub:
You've never seen a Saturn before? *faints* :mario:
Never in person. Everyone either had a Playstation, N64, or Dreamcast.

Plugged in the mechanical keyboard I got from my parents for Christmas and typed up this post. It's a bit loud but it is pretty satisfying to type on.

I just got up. Yeah, that's all I did today... so far :P
Eating some Japanese snacks until I came upon this very unpleasant item:
Anyone know what it is? Threw it away, but kept the packaging. Smells like rotten fish ;D
Looks like a type of raisin or something, or that it's probably "dry plums" given the kanji inscribed. Yes, I can read Japanese well, haha ;P

He needs help and he is refusing to cooperate with medical professionals and police and is refusing to take his meds. It sounds bad, but I hope it's approved and we can get a warrant to have him apprehended for evaluation.
I hope you get all that sorted. Must've been tough for you having to deal with this alone.
For me, I only just went to the local shops to get a few things that my mother had forgotten to get the other day. Nothing spectacular :P
He was released from the hospital the other day. I'm not happy about it at all, but it's way too personal to talk about on public forum.
I just had my first day back at my job since I went on sick leave. It was a long exhausting day and I fell asleep right when I got home. I guess everyone else did in the house as well, and at 815pm my wife woke me up in a panic thinking it was 815am and that we had slept through an alarm. I shot out of bed and messaged my work apologizing for being late (start at 700am) and quickly brushed my teeth and went to run out the door. Meanwhile my wife is in a panic because at the same time we think our son is now also late for school so she is quickly trying to get him ready and also pass me the credit card so I can buy myself lunch because there is no time to make one. Then my work messaged me not knowing what I was talking about and asking where I was going. At that moment it dawned on us that it was still the evening.
What a rush haha...
Doing myself a Japanese evening!
Any whisky sippers around? ;)
Ahaha. No, I don't drink alcohol anymore, but I like the taste of 響 (Hibiki) whiskey from Suntory. Nikka pure malt is also very tasty, but overall I am not that much into Whisky to be honest. I used to drink a lot of Shochu but that's another story hahaha. ;)
Just spend some time cleaning my old 1987 Chevrolet before start to play some Famicom game :)
That's a sweet car man :pow:
Train to Amsterdam
Just made this:
By the way, didn't we used to have an image spam thread? ???
Was checking out RVGFanatic. (http://www.rvgfanatic.com/7401/1570820.html) This image: http://www.rvgfanatic.com/mediac/400_0/media/DIR_2507687/1f1e19a818189ecaffff836aa00140f.jpg
Ouch! That must be one of their special moves. Sousetsuken is truly frightening!
BTW I agree with the author that Double Dragon II and Return of Double Dragon are really good games and the two best games in the series. I rented the PAL version of Super Double Dragon back in the day, and I remember it as harder than I think the Japanese version is now, and that knives and grenades were far more dangerous (knives took half your life). But I don't remember that you couldn't catch boomerangs, although it was kind of hard. I might have to compare US and PAL versions sometime.
I've yet to play Super Double Dragon for some reason. It might have something to do with not ever beating Battletoads & Double Dragon. :-[
Strange that this isn't Double Dragon IV. ??? It's got its own plot.
Does the SNES game play anything like Double Dragon Advance? Because I liked that a lot!
Battletoads & Double Dragon is more of a Battletoads game than a Double Dragon game. They just borrowed the characters (although they mixed up the names of Roper and Machine Gun Willy) and the story does not really affect Double Dragon games. Also hoping to beat a Battletoads game is quite ambitious. :)
Yeah the new Double Dragon IV game only acknowledges the first three games. That they ignore games like Shadow Falls is understandable, but Return of Double Dragon is really a unique and great game in the series and should be canon. I'm not sure where it belongs in the storyline though.
I had to test Double Dragon Advance before I could answer. From what it looks though, that is a remake of the first game (arcade version), and plays much more like that as well. The only similarities I could find is that you can do a low kick (DOWN+KICK) and that it has a dedicated block button, something that I only remember seeing in Return of Double Dragon before the GBA game. In Return you could however block and do an armlock grab to your opponent (a different grab from the normal head grab) and do a number of new moves from there, something I couldn't find in the GBA game.
Return is a Double Dragon game alright, but it introduces lots of new moves, characters (including the new Black/Shadow Warriors leader Duke) and some new weapons like bo, boomerang and nunchaku (well nunchaku was in DDIII as well but not as a weapon you pick up).
It looks like (https://doubledragon.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Double_Dragon) the game was actually released in USA before Japan, and the Japanese version was therefore more polished (I wonder which version the PAL version is based on though). A lot of content was also apparently cut. Like cut-scenes, an additional last boss, a real ending, Marian appearing and helping the dragons, more detailed and varied levels and graphics among other things.
The resulting game was great though, so I highly recommend anyone that haven't, to play it. It filled my expectations of a new 16-bit instalment of the series back in the day. Especially when playing the game with a friend that also likes Double Dragon or martial arts in general.

Oh, Rare did much more than just that. (https://doubledragon.kontek.net/games/bdd/charbdd.html) Though this article says that the Shadow Boss is original to BT&DD, I suspect it's just Burnov (the first boss of Double Dragon II).

Good to see that Kazunaka Yamane did the music again, here. ;D That's probably reason enough for me to want to play it. I still want to beat BT&DD though. >:( I mean, I beat Battletoads. This one can't be harder, can it? ???
Ah yeah they thought that Roper and Lopar are two different persons (it's just two ways to spell the same name) and managed to assign the two names to two different characters, and got neither right. Guido should be Roper (basic grunt), Lopar should be Williams (cartwheel grunt) and Roper should be Willy (machine gun guy). Rare also gave Linda a fitting extra name "Lash".
Shadow Boss actually being Brunov is an interesting theory. That he somehow got higher in rank than Willy is a mystery though. Jimmy being the Shadow Boss isn't even canon. It was just a way in the Famicom version to simulate the final fight over Marian between the dragon brothers in the arcade version, despite Famicom version being single player. All remakes and sequels acknowledges only the arcade version as canon.
That Double Dragon Dojo site got more information on the cut content of Return of Double Dragon (https://doubledragon.kontek.net/features/sddtruestory.html). It is interesting to read when you have beaten the game. Don't read it before playing it though or the game may feel incomplete haha.
The story makes Marian a policewoman and student of sousetsuken, something that seems to have been inspired from the movie since it haven't been mentioned in any earlier games. And since she is kidnapped when investigating the Shadow Warriors group, it almost feels like a retell of the first game's story. But since the leader is Duke and not Willy, that doesn't really fit either. It might be hard to fit it in the Double Dragon timeline.

Oh you already beat Battletoads! I think BT&DD should actually be
easier less impossible. I remember getting quite close to the end back in the day when borrowing the SNES version of the game. It probably gets really hard from there though.
I tried PAL version of Super Double Dragon. It seems to play identically to the American version after all, only sped up for PAL speed, and with glitchy graphics probably because I played on an NTSC SFC.
Enemies can catch boomerangs they throw but not the dragons. Boomerangs becomes one-use weapons. I must have mixed my memories of PAL and Japanese version.
Knives and especially grenades takes a ton of damage and weapons can not be swaped unless you drop the weapon from taking a hit.
The hurricane kick do seem to hit several enemies though. I'm not sure what they meant in that article.
Trying to load a disk on my FDS.
Just made the final payment on my student loans! :coin:
I ate a tortilla chip and a sharp end punctured my gums. :'( Not only that, it stayed lodged in there. :'( Had to use tweezers to get it out. :(
Ouch, that must've hurt a lot! :(
Something similar happened to me last week: While I was eating cereal, a piece of corn flake got really stuck in between my front teeth and was really hurting my gum, but it got even worse when I tried to get that out, since it simply didn't come out, I tried my nail, several toothpicks, brushing my teeth, and after like fifteen minutes of work, it finally came out. :'(
I then ate that piece of flake as a way of finishing that nightmare, to end what I started, I guess. :P
Heh you ate it for revenge, serves it right for getting stuck like that.
Reminds me of one day when a mackerel bone got stuck down in my throat, irritating me for almost a full day. I kept moving my mouth and throat muscles all day to make it move upwards slowly. Somehow it worked, because when I was sitting on the train making weird faces to make my muscles move, it finally came up again on the tongue in my mouth so that I could grab it with my fingers. Such joy! I threw the little devil away.
Took apart and cleaned a Wii remote that had leaky batteries. Would have thrown it away, but it was a Yoshi edition :yoshi:
Came back here to look for more Famicom loot! It's been too long!
Awaaaaa!
Tried to fix a Famicom controller with superglue and got it all over the controller and my fingers :'( :'( :'(
Just came back from touring nearly the whole local metro, it's something I wanted to do for such a long time but never had the chance to, and I'm definitely doing it again in the future! ;D
Just got done lifting weights and showering, now heading back to work.
Since the end of June Ive been lifting three times a week over my lunch break. Although I wasn't a fan of it to begin, I quite look forward to it now, and have been feeling a lot better about myself as my arms have been getting more toned.
The routine then gives me the boost needed to fight my way through the afternoon at work.
Today I had a really productive day, Las thing I did was eating a light dinner and before that I put my property in Athens for sale (https://tranio.com/greece/attica/athens/), lets see how long it will take to sell it and to move to a new and bigger house.
Where are you moving to?
USA, Tampa in Florida
Kirby went to my house and inhaled one of my pumpkins but instead of eating it, he absorbed its powers. Silly Kirby. :D
After much practice I can now finally play Kraid's Lair on piano. :) Might not be perfect, :-\ and might take several tries to get it right in one go, :-[ but I can definitely play it. :P
Saw a hat that said "BPS" on it and thought, "oh cool, a Bullet Proof Software hat." But then I realized it was a Bass Pro Shop hat, since that's where I was shopping :-[
Haaaa, I don't know which is funnier that you thought a BPS hat was cool or that you forgot you were in the shop :D
The full BPS logo is cool with that fish lion head or whatever it is (not the regular block type ver) but I'm guessing it wasn't that!
start working as usual
Came back from seeing the Grand Canyon
I just watched and found out about Japan's first Dual-Mode Vehicle (DMV): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1iK6DVbqTc
A bus that converts into a train. This thing was in development since 2002! :o I want to ride one now.
Tried to fire up my VCR w/ Famicom attached
Bought a Japanese AV Top Loader new in box. Waiting for it to arrive, hope it truly is as described. :-[
Do you have a proper AC adapter for it?
Yes
Good, it happens too often that people import a Famicom only to fry it because they use the Japanese original adapter in a European wall socket using a travel adapter instead of a proper step-down adapter.
Started a new Mother 1 play through ;D
One of the best games for the system! Good luck!

Today is not my day:
So last night I sold some Famicom games on eBay, and I tried to print a shipping label this morning only to find out the ink I bought on eBay is from a subscription service (HP Instant Ink) and will not work unless I buy a subscription plan. ???
So I go to the UPS Store to print a label. It cost $3! :upsetroll: I read that black & white costs $0.25 but overlooked the part that says $3.00 for the first 5 minutes.
There goes my Pirate Ship discount. Whatevs.
So I get home, hot and angry in my truck with the window rolled down. As I'm rolling it up, the handle comes off--again, I just replaced it last month! >:(
TODAY I AM AN ANGRY CONSUMER :fire:
Aw man.. those days where everything is f*ckedup and just keeps on piling up. Don't worry
Jedi, keep your head up and remember that tomorrow is a new, better day 8)
Here, grab a beer!
