I found out my older sister is having a baby today, and I nearly fainted. I can't believe I'm going to be an aunt. She said she's about 7 weeks, and due around December. I'm so happy, and excited for her.
@Guru
You look good with long hair. I may be biased though, I like the look of longer hair on guys. XD
Arcade machine has received numerous updates to it!
Nothing physical though, (but Me and me ol' man definately plan on redoing the wheels, the whole front part (since its just silver cardboard, black tape, and a plastic sheet), touch up the paint, and add some SEGA Decals on the side (maybe the front as well...)).
Need to see if we can make the speakers a bit less dodgy too.
Nah, what I've managed to do is learn how Mamewah works and add some more emulator and games to it.
Got Nes, Playstation and N64 emulators set up on it as well, (Nes romset needs re-sorting and re-naming). The PS1 emulator comes in very handy since it can emulate the 3D fighting games MAME can't!
(Plus who DOESN'T want to play Parappa with arcade buttons! XD)
Need to go back later and re-do the themes since I re-used the Snes and Megadrive ones that were already on there. Plus they weren't very pretty either.
oh man! why do I have to be such a fiddler!
I have to make every single console I get perfect as possible.
It tooks ages to sort and fill and convert stuff for my Caanoo's 16GB memory card.
Did the same thing to my PSP, DS, Wii, Laptop, 360
Anything electronic I get, I seem to HAVE to investigate and tweak.
Fine, a photo of me that I don't absolutely hate is coming in 3...2...1...
What about way-too-long hair?
My best guess is that this photo is from about four years ago. What I do know is that it's from the day my hair was cut, and this is the longest it's ever been.
I don't know what you're talking about. Long hair? Psh. It looks fine. And I agree with Fawful's assessment and also add in my own, which is that your picture-that-you-don't-hate is way better than my picture-that-I-don't-hate.
I can also sorta see what you mean about the glasses.

In sadder and not at all related news:
Dear Forum Denizens,
It is my very sad duty to say that for the next week and a half or so, I will be retiring from the forums. Some of you already know that I am in the middle of studying for a large number of very difficult finals. Those who didn't...well now you know. That's pretty much the reason. When you find that you can't sleep simply because the sound of your pounding heart keeps you up at night, something's got to change. So I'm nixing all fun (except for the odd episode of Red Dwarf to keep me going).
Part of me didn't even want to post this quasi-goodbye, because it sounds a bit pretentious, and I'm rather proud of myself for not dashing off without a word. If I said I wouldn't seriously miss this place while I'm working myself to death, I'd be joshing you.
For those of you who know me outside of the forums, I'll still check my facebook from time to time, so you can contact me there. For everyone else, I'll be back May 12. I know you'll miss my witty and occasionally nonsensical responses.
Yours Truly,
Alcoremortis, cheerful banterer and killjoy extraordinaire.
P.S. Chris, you should totally use this time to create a better posting buffer so that I can have something to surpass once I come back.
P.P.S. Also, it totally wouldn't hurt if I had a song written about me while I'm gone or become some sort of folk hero. That would be awesome.
P.P.P.S. Also, we all know the real reason that I'm posting this is so that hamza won't spend the next week and a half asking where I've gone.
I had a weekend in Ireland. Dublin to be exact. JedExodus? Why did you not tell me that the Irish accent is that wonderful? I mean, i already know what i sounded like, but when you're surrounded by it, it's just lovely. You win best accent award.
Alcoremortis has surpassed my post count. I am inconsolable with grief. I feel like Winston Churchill when he found out that Britain didn't get to be a superpower anymore and America was taking its place, or like President Schwarzenegger when he found out that the People's Republic of China just bought Alaska and the West Coast.
Fuck to you Sony. I hate you. You are EVIL. I hope you crash and burn. FIX YOUR DAMNED PS3 BROWSER!!! I'm sick of this shit, you idiots! Have you got a bunch of retarted monkey's designing your software or something?! Sorry, that's an insult to retarded monkey's everywhere, you wish you could hire talent of that calibre! Jackasses.
P.S. If you want to know what my issue is (other than the PSN fiasco) then read my post on page 2 of the Star Wars Blu-Ray thread.
See, it's times like these I hate being an albino... 50SPF sunblock, a hat, sunglasses, T-shirt and capris, and I STILL get sunburned on my chest. HOW THE HOLY BLEEP IS THIS LOGISTICALLY POSSIBLE?!

I'm as white as anything as well. Except, I usually celebrate when I burn. Sure, it hurts, but since I never tan it's the only way to get a bit of colour!

No need to lord our superiority over everyone love. Oh wait i'm from the North, I sound like a murderer with a blocked nose
I was going to use decals. However, it looks like its going to be too tough to get them.
So it looks like we are going to need to paint it.
Now, since Enduro Racer was a late 80s game, I thought the artwork should be late 80s
A very good period for SEGA.
I'll upload a quick draft later but I plan to paint a few 80s sega characters on each side of the cabinet.
I've made a quick sketch of both sides (using images I found on the net).
One one side I got
-The dude from Space Harrier
-The Car from Outrun
-A Columns block
On the other:
- Opa Opa
- Alex Kidd
- Hang-On bike (driving on a bit of road)
I'm thinking about making a few instruction panels for the front (and change that silver to a nice black!), then make a control panel printout to go under a plastic layer.
Hey guys. Where can I get DirectX? Apparantly it uninstalled itself while I fixed my internet connection. I dont trust downloading what I get via google, so Im hoping you guys could send me the link. Thanks.

Cool thanks.:D
EDIT:What. Its already installed? But with a problem thats happening because of a lack of direct x, cant be solved due to me having Direct X? Of course.
Hmm.
I was incredibly late to the party, but I just beat Portal.
Now I gotta order P2... but for Xbox, or PC?
Depends. Do you have a decent enough PC? If so get it for that. Its cheaper, will have free DLC(so far only the first pack will be free on the 360) and lets you play with PS3 users.
The 360 version has avatar awards.
I..I don't hate Conan. I love Conan. I hate the post I was quoting. On an unrelated note, Guru's picture is now on my shower wall. How...lovely.
I want to thank you for giving me a look of how creepy other people can be, I'D hang his pic above my bed on the ceiling, the shower thing is just plain weird!

I always use google alerts to know about my news
What's wrong with Conan? I like Conan.
That is also acceptable. I hope you realise that now we're going to need a photo when you get your hair cut too.
And it looks like you have no reason to be shy about showing your face. Fawful seems to like it a lot anyway
It's definitely a community with its own distinct flavour.
I don't know what you're talking about. Long hair? Psh. It looks fine. And I agree with Fawful's assessment and also add in my own, which is that your picture-that-you-don't-hate is way better than my picture-that-I-don't-hate.

Why settle for a song? Demand an epic, or movie, or an epic movie!
Since I don't really have much interest in JP I have no idea what you're talking about.
Nooooooooo! My only Official Forum Friend! I'm so lonely now. And friendless. And friendlessly lonely.
The dood and I will see what we can throw together
Oh wait... This is awesome. Still, you will be missed. I'll have no one to talk to! I'll have to talk to Fawful or the JedEx. Ugghh.
I'll see to it they make it.

Before
After
Wait, is the PSN back up?
No need to lord our superiority over everyone love. Oh wait i'm from the North, I sound like a murderer with a blocked nose
Nope, PSN is only used for buying and playing games online. The PS3 Internet browser is completely seperate and doesn't require PSN to operate.
P.S. I've played some Portal 2 (offline of course) and calmed down now. Still, Sony does suck.
Yes, I actually got books too... Well, comic books. Walking Dead. But I am really stuck doing Call of the Wild before I can get normal books
Dont know why it was screwing up, but whatever.
I was going to use decals. However, it looks like its going to be too tough to get them.

Once thats all done it will be almost perfect!

From Microsoft themselves: clicky click
Cool thanks.:D

not going to judge......not going to judge......
Replace the wrestlers name with anyone from Sci Fi or Video gaming history and no one here would judge me.
Sweet man
I will hunt you down and make you sorry you ever laid eyes on me.
