I prefer to bend people to my will using sharp, pointy objects.  But hey, each to their own.

Here's an amazing piece of poetry that really makes you want to yell "Heck yeah!"  I was never very respectful to the majority of my teachers for one reason or another, but this piece sounds like something every high school student should have to listen to before graduating.

As a warning, there is some unnecessarily harsh language.

Robert Jordan will be dead long before he ever completes his Wheel of Time series.  You like reading incomplete stories?  You lose at life.

By the way, attached below is the trailer for the animation.  It's an executable (lame!) so I zipped it up.  Enjoy!

This is a really nifty website that provides detailed histories and downloads of some neat old games.  Some of them were never released, while other might have been "missing" some details in the final retail version.

http://www.LostLevels.org

This is one of my favorite stories.  EarthBound for the Super Nintendo was one of my favorite games of all time (just below Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy III/VI, also SNES games).  Apparently, the prequel game Mother was brought to America and completely localized, but never released.  I'm really glad to see that the original Mother is available in professionally-translate english and I'm definitely going to play it.

Speaking of old games.

Anyone have a linnk to where I can find a GOOD SNES Emulator and some ROMs?  Half the shit on the net relating to that is a bunch of crap these days and I just don't have the time to sift through it all and find the meat.

So any links would be awesome.

Leave it to Wes to use a food analogy to describe video games.

Wes,

I have NEStron and about 620 ROMs as 2 ZIP files equaling about 65 megs.  Is there a way to email large files like that?

As for my requisite randomly stupid link, check this out:

http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=1231684&page=1

As if girly, sugary sweet pop music wasn't bad enough...

...now it's filled with NeoNazi propaganda goodness!

I'd call it sickening, but I might be accused of being racist.

Wes,

Sorry!  I was looking at my NES collection. (You can have it too if you want)

For SNES I have ZSNES (624 kb) and about 188 ROMs (163 megs)

http://www.msu.edu/~dysangco/nesgames.zip

http://www.msu.edu/~dysangco/zsnes.zip

http://www.msu.edu/~dysangco/snesgames.zip

*Wonders if this is an illegal use of my MSU web space*  Huh

Outside of the tacky name, this might just be the neatest thing I've seen.  According to the FAQ, they don't support ROM's, but I think they're lying.

That article really isn't too surprising.  The author hit it on the head when he surmised the girls were merely parroting their parents ideals.

Hopefully, they'll have a chance to go off to a decent college some day and actually learn a thing or two about the "real world."  The article was merely another piece of sensationalistic media.

Thanks for the attempt at the ROMS and such.

I managed to get the ZNES and NEStron files, however, the ROM zips you put up are corrupt.

Suck.  I'm a failure as a geek.  They worked for me.  I'll ask my friend Brian who hooked me up with them in the first place.

And, no, haven't finished it yet because there's always a flute, clarinet or violin wanting to be played, a conducting baton wanting to be waved around, and books wanting to be read.  One of my friends came to visit and he hadn't watched Advent Children so I turned it on.  We watched it twice.  After he left I did some leveling up in the North Crater.  My party is still in the 70s with Cloud in the high 80s, and none of my materia is mastered yet, so I don't feel quite ready to take on Sephiroth.

I did, however, find this:

http://faqs.ign.com/articles/657/657331p1.html

And took a good hour or so out of my practice time reading it in its entirety.  Go me.

Quote:
Despite hurricane damage to production and refinery facilities, oil companies are reporting huge profits. Exxon Mobile reports a 3rd-quarter net profit of more than 9.9 billion dollars, the largest in US corporate history and a 75% increase compared to this time last year, so does that mean we've been gouged at the pump?

You may recall paying more than $3 per gallon for regular unleaded shortly after 25% of US oil production was cut in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. John Griffin at the American Petroleum Institute says the high gas prices were supposed to make drivers make fewer stops at the pump, so we wouldn't run out of gas.

John Griffin: "Every gas station wouldn't have gasoline. People would hoard gas, like a lot of times they do, and they start filling up cans and putting it in a garage, which is a bad idea."


9.9 billion?!  That sounds moderately ridiculous to me.
