See this man. I hate this man personally. He is the bane of my television, because I end up seeing his scummy face once every night before I turn my TV off in disgust. I want to pull him out of my television and thrash the pulp out of him. His voice is enough to make my ears curl into themselves, and his face is enough to make my eyeballs shrivel backwards into my skull. All he does is sell get-rich-quick books all night long, taking up my TV. I hate him.
I'd change the channel, but if I touch my remote I'll be thrown into a fit of rage and I'll have to toss it through my screen.

I tend not to get angry at the stuff I just watch and laugh, like when I first got cable tv I watched an infomercial for jack lalaines power juicer more times than I can remember because a woman who commented in the advert sounded like she was saying "gives me nausea"

Is it me, or do some games seem to play better, when you play them on the original console?
I don't think its about nostalgia, or emulation issues either, I think it might be the controller.
I mean, last night I flew through the first level of Ghouls'n'Ghosts, and I managed to get through two levels of Chakan, which I seem to struggle to do on my laptop, even when I'm using a Xbox, Xbox 360, or PS3 controller for it.
I think the Genesis controller is brillaintly designed for platformers at least.
A nice, flat D-pad, big chunky buttons, quite comfortable to hold, (shame about the short cable though....)
That being said though, the original genesis controller is aweful for fighters.
My Caanoo's analogue stick does a better job with fighters.
I can't even do many special moves on Fatal Fury due to the awkwardness of trying to do diagonal movements.
Fortunately, I have a Genesis arcade stick (its a 3 button one), handy for games that need that diagonal movement, but I can now see why the Super Nintendo got most of the fighters.
Also I never got why Sony made the D-pad on their controllers so hard and moderately stiff.
Sure, I've never had a broken D-pad, but I remember I once burned a hole in my thumb from playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 for too long.
Console controller extension cords are wonderful and not too expensive on eBay. I have one for the Genesis, one for the N64, and two for the GameCube. I still need to pick up one or two for the NES and one for the SNES.

You see I would do that, but I know that if I could use the old controllers on the go, I would take them everywhere, and use them all the time, which means I'll probably break or lose them, and that would be depressing.
Darn. In order to fix my blu-ray player, Sony have told me to restore my laptop to factory settings. Which means wiping all the data off of it. I spent ages organising my iTunes library! If this doesn't work i'll be very annoyed...
Just got some of my A-Level results today - A's in two biology exams and two general studies exams! Unfortunately Chemistry didn't go so well - oh well, there's re-sits I guess
I am now 1,000 words short of the minimum requirement. Luckily, this is an Art History paper, which writes similar to an English paper, and two years as an English major has taught me well the Art of "Bullshitting to Pad out My Word/Page Count".
Wow, that lasted way longer than I expected. Either you guys really care about me (HAHAHAHA) or you just like to link stuff and also evryone else was doing it.

A little of both. Plus I love "Have you seen my new dog" just so much. I laughed my ass of when I first saw it.
93, actually. There's six posts somewhere in this thread that are sort of "ghost posts". The mods deleted them for one reason or another, but they're still visible to the mods. That's why if you make a quick reply before the 14th post on the page, there's a difference of seven between your post number and the post before it. It's also why the thread gets a phantom page when the page reaches 15 posts, why the last six posts on each page can't be linked to properly, and why the number of "Replies" in the forum index is off by six.
So when all of us non-mods see that the thread has 9,994 posts and the forum index says "9,999" replies, we'll have reached 10,000.
Just got a new office chair. God damn, do I ever hate Allen wrenches.
At some point in the last three months, I realized that my new chair didn't go up as high as my old chair used to, making it horrible to use for drumming in Rock Band, since I have a hard time with the pedal if my knee is too close to the ground. So I decided that the best course of action was to take my old chair and swap the bottom portions.
It wasn't until after this that I remembered that the cracking exterior was only half the reason I replaced the old chair. The other half was that the bottom portion had become noisy as all hell.
So I just finally got around to switching the bottoms back. It may not matter anyway, as I might be replacing this one soon. I've come to realize that this chair doesn't have much padding to it and begins to feel hard very quickly.

While the image of the Valkyrie welcoming the triumphant warrior into Valhalla is a ubiquitous image the horn, rather than the cup that Davidson and others argue the figure on the casket is holding, is a consistent part of the image. One could argue that this is an artistic difference between two images, but compared to Bothvild’s distinctively extended arm the hooded figure in the barrow scene also doesn’t appear to be holding the ‘cup’. Instead it appears to be attached to the staff that she is holding, perhaps indicating a lantern attached to a walking stick or something of the like."
I pulled that from my paper. I am a student of literature, this is what I do.

There's a problem with academic writing, in that you'll either have a comma splice somewhere or not enough commas. Does that somewhat appease the grammar nazi in you, Guru? (I probably would have noticed it myself if I hadn't been working on this beast of an essay for two days straight)

Yep, that was it. I'm usually not too bad of a grammar nazi, but commas really get me for some reason.
And now that I've said that, someone's bound to call me on a comma screw-up very soon.
I'd rather have the first two SEs on 3DS, just so I can own those games boxed in some form.
Stuff that, I hate boxes cluttering up my... clutter. We need less boxes and more memory intensive devices. In many ways the R4 for DS crapped all over Nintendo's offerings cos it did more and it was convenient to have all your games on the one cart.
3D Monkey Island though, it could work. Especially with the DS's adventure game pull
I so wish that Lucus would make Curse of Monkey Island SE for the 3DS. I know the chances are slim to none but I still think it would be awesome.
It just wouldn't work the way you want it to. The entire point of porting point-and-click to the DS would be so you could use the touch screen to click on objects and control Guybrush. Since the 3D is only on the top screen, it would make more sense to port it to the DS for its wider install base. To port it to the 3DS, the touch controls would have to be nixed, and we'd end up controlling the game with a cursor moved around by the slide pad.

Then give me all of your boxed games if you hate it so much.

trufax: when i was living in taiwan, out of the 15 game stores that were within walking distance, only 2 still sold DS games. The rest sold R4s.
Going through an hour and 15 minutes of audio in Audacity for just the couple minutes (at the most) that I want has been a pain in the ass, but hopefully it'll be worth it tomorrow.

WITH MY HELP...YOU CAN HAVE MONEY
TO PAY YOUR BIIIIIILLS!
I am now neutral. Dean Graziosi is so strongly repugnant it takes both Del and Delmar with a gopher to make me happy again.
Ahhhh....that...that's better.
Solution: don't watch television.

The art was very, very, very, very, very, very,
...
very, very historic.
Naw, man, it's more like this:
I pulled that from my paper. I am a student of literature, this is what I do.
I see two places that read awkwardly without a comma, and a third I would say is more or less optional.
I'm sorry. @_@

It's cool. I am a reformed grammar Nazi, and I just made a couple of syntactical errors, quod erat demonstrandum.

When I move late this year/early next year you're welcome to them. There really isn't many though. Alsi I will fill the package with spores
I would put that down to the Taiwanese being cheeky chappies. I know i'm keeping my DS Lite for the R4, I watched all 3 Godfathers on that bad boy!
Sounds like where I used to buy my games, except that replace 2 with none that sold new ones that weren't Pokemon.
