Title: Last thing you did
Post by: nintendodork on March 01, 2009, 07:53:04 pm
before posting this? (Exclude posting an earlier post on here, please)

EDIT** Also, don't post the last food you ate or the last thing you watched or anything else there's already a thread for, because then you are able to post twice.

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.

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.

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.

Post by: Rogles on March 02, 2009, 07:19:47 pm
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. :/
Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: nintendodork on March 02, 2009, 07:20:58 pm
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.
Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: nurd on March 02, 2009, 07:22:15 pm
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.
Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: Rogles on March 02, 2009, 07:28:04 pm
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...

Title: Re: What was the last thing you did

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.

Post by: 133MHz on March 02, 2009, 08:00:06 pm
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.

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

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  :-[ .

Eric, what's your view on gas stations in Oregon that make employees fill the tank for you?


Bought a Dreamcast
Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: ericj on March 19, 2009, 05:03:16 pm
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?
Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: nintendodork on March 19, 2009, 05:07:57 pm
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 ::)
Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: ericj on March 19, 2009, 05:19:00 pm
 :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?

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.

Post by: UglyJoe on March 19, 2009, 07:08:21 pm
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.

and crashed into a brick building....

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.. ::) :-\

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.

: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.  ;)

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

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)

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.

Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: UglyJoe on May 16, 2009, 11:57:19 am
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).

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!
Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: Blue Protoman on May 16, 2009, 02:09:46 pm
But you collect Famiclones, and the vast majority come from China.  Therefore, you shouldn't hate it.  [/smartass]

Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: Blue Protoman on May 16, 2009, 04:47:19 pm
Hmm...  Do all Famiclones support the same Minwa adapters you have?
Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: 133MHz on May 16, 2009, 05:02:32 pm
Yup, they all work with 9V DC negative tip.
Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: Blue Protoman on May 16, 2009, 05:47:24 pm
Negative tip?  I know nothing about electricity.
Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: 133MHz on May 16, 2009, 06:33:36 pm
"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.
Title: Re: What was the last thing you did

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.

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.

...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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Post by: MaxXimus on June 17, 2009, 06:51:04 pm
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.

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

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".

Post by: nintendodork on August 14, 2009, 01:40:36 pm
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.

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.

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...

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:

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.

Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: manuel on October 12, 2009, 05:14:50 am
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.

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.

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.

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.  ::)

I agree. The first things I look for in a Candidate is:

He/She does not support abortion
Does not support circumcisions
Does not Support the death penalty

Wow, I'm aghast at the conservativeness of your post.  :o

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.

EDIT: It's a sliding scale from Liberal -- Moderate -- Conservative. Independent isn't a choice here.  ;)

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.

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.

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.
Title: Re: What was the last thing you did
Post by: manuel on November 19, 2009, 05:21:44 pm
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.

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

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.


How is DJ Hero?
Even from watching tutorial videos I can't tell what's going on.

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.

$20 / 1gb is expensive.  They were going for literally half that price this time last year.  The best BF deal I saw this year was 4gb for $60 after MIR -- and that's just sad.

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.

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).

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

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.

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:

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'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. ???

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.

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

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 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:

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
Title: Re: Last thing you did
Post by: Peps1ru1es92 on February 23, 2010, 09:05:34 pm
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.

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. :'(

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.

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!

"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.

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.

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.

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.

Post by: Jedi Master Baiter on April 23, 2010, 04:16:44 pm
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? ???
Title: Re: Last thing you did
Post by: nensondubois on April 23, 2010, 07:22:32 pm
Well, it's entirely different game and I'm not sure offhand which game is the Japanese counterpart, but yes, it is way better.

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.

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!.

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.

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. :(

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.

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.

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.

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

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. :)

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

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.

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

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.  :)

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.

Post by: ericj on January 03, 2011, 04:08:59 pm
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/

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.

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.)

A few short hours ago KungFuFurby (so give him credit if you care to spread the word, please.) discovered what is undoubtedly the most interesting discovery in video-game history; Frogger for the Super Nintendo will perform this unspeakable thing when this code is used: 80CB3216


Haha, wonder how those got in there.

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.)
7E1C67??

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.
Title: Re: Last thing you did
Post by: nensondubois on March 29, 2011, 09:16:15 pm
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).

Post by: nintendodork on May 12, 2011, 05:57:03 pm
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.

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.

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).

Good thing vehicle type games always come with kilometres, never liked miles and never will.

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.

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.

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?
Title: Re: Last thing you did
Post by: petik1 on September 17, 2011, 07:26:40 pm
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 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.

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)

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...

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.

Took some pictures if you're interested: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nordnordursins/sets/72157629646729543/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/nordnordursins/sets/72157629646729543/)

How was Dust?  They've been forever making that.  I'm looking forward to playing it - albeit offline, ironically.

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 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

Title: Re: Last thing you did
Post by: manuel on April 12, 2012, 08:19:47 pm
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.

The wifi at this apartment is provided by the city, and doesn't use any kind of encryption (WEP/WPA/etc).  Had to setup a VPN so that my data would be encrypted before being sent out over the public network.

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).

Title: Re: Last thing you did
Post by: UglyJoe on October 04, 2012, 07:05:00 pm
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.
Title: Re: Last thing you did
Post by: jpx72 on October 04, 2012, 09:48:11 pm
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.

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!

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.

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... ::)

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.

Whose idea was all of this? Everything doesn't need an icon... ::)


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.

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.

Did you exploit the trick where you throw the other player at the bosses?
Title: Re: Last thing you('re going to) do
Post by: Jedi Master Baiter on July 04, 2013, 01:52:43 am
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)

Post by: Nightstar699 on July 04, 2013, 02:36:03 am
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.

Nice speed! Never tried Arch but have heard good things. This your first time trying it? If for some reason you don't like, check distrowatch.com for other flavors. Xubuntu is pretty good too. They say Gentoo is the fastest swimming penguin but its a little tricky to get up and going.

security16: Did he finish his first day or is he there right now? How was he handling it, was he scared or excited?

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. =]

The last thing I did was - celebrate Chinese New Year!   May you all have a prosperous 2014!

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

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.

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!

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.

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:

Strap on a backpack with your "mobile office"  (laptop, external HD, business textbooks, study notes and handbag stuff) and push a stroller with a kidlet in it and go for a jog :) you'll be fit and doing a whole marathon in no time :P

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.

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 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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

I'm very tempted to stop by the next time I am in Jersey, just to say hi and see what games he has left.

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.

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 :(

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.

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.
Title: Re: Last thing you did
Post by: P on August 22, 2014, 11:41:45 am
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.

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.

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.

And I`ve had that thing where you get sniped for just under your max bid at the last minute.  In fact it happened a couple of times with the same seller on Yahoo Auctions with me. Not sure if it was just coincidence but I stopped bidding on his stuff after the second time.

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.

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

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)

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.

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!
Title: Re: Last thing you did
Post by: P on May 27, 2019, 11:09:30 am
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).

QuoteIt looks like (https://doubledragon.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Double_Dragon) the game was actually released in USA before Japan

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? ???
Title: Re: Last thing you did
Post by: P on May 28, 2019, 04:28:45 am
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.

QuoteGood to see that Kazunaka Yamane did the music again, here. 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?

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.
Title: Re: Last thing you did
Post by: P on June 06, 2019, 12:25:05 pm
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.

Heh you ate it for revenge, serves it right for getting stuck like that.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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:
