I had a problem in X2 trying to reach the X-Hunter in Bubble Crab's stage where his door wouldn't open, but I assume that was because the bottom door (the normal route) was already opened. Has that happened before in the original release? Never obtained that last Zero part...

The first four games were as entertaining as always. Also note how they cut out the General's "heil" salute in the intro animation in X4.... Seems like the code input to unlock the Ultimate Armor and Black Zero in X4 didn't work, unless the sequence is different than it was on PS1?

X5 was okay. What are the mathematics involved with destroying the colony with only the Enigma gun? Seems possible, but never managed to bring it down with my other playthroughs.... Even failed to stop it once before despite obtaining all the parts for the shuttle launch. Imagine it's just a randomized percentage?

Biggest issues with X6 was the general story, the excessive amounts of Nightmare squid-looking assholes, and that spotlight "Nightmare effect". Turtloid's and Yammark's stages are dreadful because of it...

Nothing to declare about X7 that hasn't already been pointed out.

Aaaand still working on X8. Only taken down the Sunflower and Mantis bosses. Don't have a solid opinion, as this is my second overall take at it.

That's all I've got.

I wouldn't say Microsoft "won" this year's E3, as some of their more dominant franchises were more than expected (Gears 5, new Halo installment)... I would have to give the trophy to Bethesda, because.... well, like Nintendo last year, all they did was tease The Elder Scrolls 6 with a shallow visual and all the fans are wetting their thongs right now, similar to how the "4" was teased from Nintendo last year.

To add, Fallout 76 does look like fun. Didn't they try to make a Fallout MMO years ago that got canned? Maybe this is their successor.... Or what have you.

I'm not too surprised they skipped out on MP4 news, but instead focused more on the upcoming Switch Pokemon games and Smash Bros. dominating the spotlight. Amazing to see Mega Man is back for another round. As far as future characters go, I would imagine Nintendo try and expose more of their underwhelming characters in the franchise. For example, maybe bringing more FF characters to the fray (Squall from FF8, Lightning from 13, or even Noctis from 15) or even Roll as a similar but-not-really equivalent to Mega Man. Who knows.

Skipped the Sony conference because they didn't really share anything too spectacular from what I've read up on. With Ubisoft, they surely teased a little more about Beyond Good and Evil 2 without sharing any actual gameplay (but then again, I only caught the latter half after I got off work).

It's funny that the Ubisoft showcase stream suffered from more streaming issues than any of the others I've experienced combined.... Are they teasing the new capabilities of their updated servers!?

EA was lackluster as usual. Anthem doesn't look like GOTY material, but knowing the casual fanbase, they will make the possible out of the impossible.

Overall, not the worst E3 showcases I've seen.

Apparently you can smoke meats in the oven if you put a bed of wood chips in a bag or just on a pile on the bottom rack. I never tried it... Prefer to keep it as "real" as possible with smoking.

Aside from hickory, cherry wood is also an excellent product.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 is confirmed for E3. Perhaps they'll show off some gameplay footage... or just another cinematic trailer....

For those that are into battle royale games, Fortnite will take the floor sometime as well (I guess with new content or cross-platform play?). This is the dawn of BR games and the mainstream is going to milk this cow dry rather quick, just like all other trends before it. Black Ops 4 and new Battlefield are supposedly testing the game style in their upcoming releases. This will be a trend for quite some time, it seems.

Not my cup of tea, honestly.... I only know as much about this as I've read up on.

You should learn to speak your mind just a little bit more.

I never understood the deal with changing the Dr. Who actors all the time. I assume it's for story reasons, or were contracts very short-term?

I was as tasty as a sack of flour back in the day.

Today, I'm as delicious as diet water.

That's a shame. They truly added extra character to this place.

What are some good series to get into nowadays?

The Walking Dead finished a while back with a lackluster season (invested in it because I'm a fan of the comics), don't care for Fear the Walking Dead, already caught up on the amusing Series of Unfortunate Events. Aside from Westworld, there isn't anything else I'm into right now... Waiting for details on Better Call Saul in the meantime. Game of Thrones is still a long ways off....

Science fiction is of my taste. Netflix availability is also a plus.

Judging by the past comments, seems like Dr. Who is worth a test run...

Or maybe some old favorites will return.... Dzx9, Edge, and Master Vile to name a few.

To be fair, it is interesting information!

Oh my GOD, I'm dying of embarrassment from reading these.

Looking back at my old posts from many years ago, even I cringe on how #####ing annoying I was. I'm sure most of the people here wanted to strangle me at one point or another.

I'm sure they still do!

F-Zero seems unlikely due to how madly popular Mario Kart has become. Not to mention they've included twisted track layouts from F-Zero into it. But who knows.... Crazier things have happened.

F-Zero GX was excellent and I would enjoy seeing a new one on the Switch, while retaining some elements that made GX so great and then some new features... Online racing a must-have, bigger and better vehicle customization... Perhaps a build-your-own track?

Surely, Nintendo will shed some light on the Virtual Console (which is long overdue), but the delay is understandable if they feared it would shadow the indie games and other titles they've been putting out lately... I suppose.

Fast RMX looks entertaining, but from the gameplay videos I've seen, looks like it would feel as iffy as Forza racing... Then again, I'm terrible with Forza.

2018 is looking to be an excellent year for games, but one would wonder if a rift in time & space has been broken due to the amount of nostalgic franchises we've been receiving lately (Crash Bandicoot, Spyro to be re-released, and of course, Mega Man).

E3 2018 is over a month away, and knowing the trends from past conventions, we're sure to be hearing leaks and information about games before the expo even begins.

What shall we see in the future? Perhaps even more old franchises making a comeback? Another influx of indie games? An announcement for XBox One X-S? Will we finally be blessed with the highly-anticipated Mario is Missing sequel?

Here's a list is games most likely, if not definitely to be shown this year, so far....

Super Smash Bros. may steal the show if they offer enough details about this installment. What will change? What characters will return to the roster? Which new ones will be introduced? Most importantly, will we see our favorite Blue Bomber return for the Switch?

2K has been secretly working on a AAA title, and they're pretty tight-lipped about it. Most guesses point to a new Borderlands installment, while rumors have been circulating about a new BioShock installment in the making. If both are true, chances are the former is likely to be announced than the latter at this year's Electronic Entertainment Eulogy.

Games I would like to see this year:

- Metro Exodus (already announced)
- Borderlands 3
- New BioShock
- Accounting Simulator 2018
- TheRedPriest VR
- Beyonce Two Souls GOTY Edition
- The Bee Movie 2 game adaption
- Chair

I'm diggin' the blue hue on the MM2 cartridge. Wouldn't care for the X one since I still own the original.

My parents (mostly my dad) weren't aware that seasonings existed either. My mother's cooking came out really bland most of the time while my dad never seasoned or marinated steaks or burgers. Worse, there was no care in his grilling methods... Meaning all the red meats always came out well-done or black. Charred, dry.... But he truly enjoyed putting A1 Steak Sauce on everything.... I imagine to mask his ##### cooking.

My wife was no different. The first time she cooked for me was a kitchen tragedy.

Get this, she thought it would be a good idea to take Tyson frozen BBQ chicken wings and add a thick application of Cajun dry rub on them, then pop them into the oven....

On the plus side, my wife does excel with her round bottom roast!

Fortunately, her dad was the best cook in her family, and had a huge binder full of recipes passed down from his Italian grandmother. That's where I started to learn, then looked up recipes and techniques on my own.


Fatso, I do the seasoned flour only for pork chops on the cast iron. Unable to taste the seasonings on anything else.

---

Years ago, I turned my small grill into a make-shift smoker. Bought a 3.5 pound pork shoulder and smoked it with hickory for 6-8 hours... I think the rule of thumb is to smoke 2 hours for every pound?

Pre-coated with salt and pepper beforehand. I'm thinking of smoking more often now (aside from the reefer kind).

Have any of you tried smoking? All the cool kids are doing it...

Watched the Season 2 premiere of Westworld last Sunday. Off to a good start.

One of the better shows to grace television since Breaking Bad.

They are a many-headed beast. Seems to be a modern trend with lots of companies. EA took one of my favorite RPGs and turned it into a half-product, leaving much to be desired (Mass Effect)....

Then 2K pressuring Ken Levine to turn BioShock Infinite into a game more welcoming to casual gamers; the Call of Duty fanbase basically. Was a decent narrative, but lacked the isolation the first one did so well.

The list goes on and on....

There is room for at least -one- redemption for all... This is Capcom's ticket: If Mega Man 11 or even the fantasized X9 do turn into a heaping pile, I'll become a monk.

What a kick in the nuts that would be.

It's simply speculation at this point.

Hey, I'm a foolish optimist! I still had hopes for Konami after that whole ordeal... but then Metal Gear Survive happened.

If Capcom is even remotely intelligent, they will learn from the negative feedback the latest few X entries have received and go back to what made that series so great to begin with.

I have faith mostly due to MM9, which was a much more solid game than MM7 or MM8.

Interesting. I moved on from eggs when I noticed they don't cling the breadcrumbs onto the meat of choice that well. I've since then used buttermilk... and it's an excellent product, especially for a good chicken-fried steak.

I would have never considered mayo as an option in a million years... But you have indeed fascinated me with that idea.

I'll have to try it for chicken next time and show the product here.

When it comes to steaks, it's either a blackened seasoning or Montreal for me. Something about that dill flavor never gets old. As for chicken, it's gotta be a spicy or Italian herb kind of deal.

I still can't create a solid seasoning batch for meats, though. Usually throw everything and the kitchen sink into a bowl with either an oil or vinegar base, and end up butchering it. [/pun]

I'm a sucker for tart flavor... Could drink yellow mustard straight from the bottle!

But I won't. Maybe.

I'd like to believe the Zero series to be an "alternate reality" than an extension of sorts. In other words, non-canon whatsoever.

A return to 16-bit form would be much more welcomed than a state-of-the-art graphical upgrade, like, y'know..... What Capcom tried to accomplish with X7.

So Axl goes maverick, gets better, then Command Mission happens.

Axl turns Maverick, ends up totalled, then "hides himself while he tries to repair himself"... Quality storytelling!

Here's to hoping. If there is a consistent trend here (Classic Legacy Collection released before Mega Man 11 announcement), then we'll probably hear an X9 announcement after a reveal a Mega Man Legends.... Legacy Collection.

The story is jacked, yes. X6 could have taken it in a better direction...

I still want to see an overall arc. It's not the best comparison, but I always compared the Maverick virus story similar to a "Salem Witch Trials" kind of thing. It was simply black & white for the first three games, but X4 started to blur those lines once Repliforce was deemed Mavericks, and then X5's Sigma Virus global spread made friends point and accuse each other (which made the X vs. Zero fight so impacting); hitting an all-time desperate and low point for the glorified good guys.

If that Sigma vs. Zero in X4 is really legit canon (the virus transferring hosts through that head gem?)....  Axl would have to contract the virus that way in X9, and thus, be taking the route of Ol' Yeller.

One can only dream at this point.

I do love a good brussel sprout. The only chance I would have at recreating that recipe would be at my mother or sister's house. My wife is picky with vegetables and has yet to develop mature taste buds. [insert sexual innuendo here]

Another recipe I've started to perfect was making queso, for all you cheese-lovers. It's quite simple, but not as trivial as just "melting cheese". The list of ingredients/seasonings I use are pictured below. I go for a spicy chili-esque kind of flavor in mine, but can easily be tailored to suit your own preferences.

1. Melt 2-3 tbsp. butter in pot
2. Mix in salt
3. Add the corn starch (flour can be substituted) and mix into a thick rue
4. Add 1 can of evaporated milk, stir to blend the rue
5. Stir in extra seasonings (onion & garlic powder, cumin, cayenne, paprika etc.)
6. Add a hearty handful of shredded cheese; stir until cheese melts

I'm also sure regular milk could be used instead of evaporated.

Would a Captcha help in reducing, if not eliminating the influx of spam bots?

Done and done.

Should have made a subtle hint toward wanting a new X installment in the "good wishes" section....

I've grown fond of cooking the past few years and enjoy experimenting with ideas. Granted, I'm no real chef (worked in an Italian restaurant for some time, but that's as far as it goes), but cooking has been one way for me to express some form of creativity.

If you have any signature recipes or favorite dishes you like to make at home, please share them! Doesn't matter if you're vegan, pescatarian, or a hardcore carnivore....

Also, if you'd like to request me to make something specific one evening, I'll take on the challenge so long as it isn't something outrageous or ridiculously expensive.

Foods I can make:
- Italian
- Mexican (authentic or Americanized)
- Polish
- Japanese (to an extent)
- American

Foods I have yet to make but willing to try:
- English
- Mediterranean
- Asian etc.
- Any other genre I haven't named

On top of what's listed, I'm an avid from-scratch baker (breads, desserts etc.)...


To start, I fooled around the other night and made what I call the "Big Ass Burrito" (shown below). For those familiar with joints like "Moe's Southwest Grill", "Chipotle", "Qdoba", this was my take on their burritos, and only spent around $20 on all the ingredients.

The ingredients are as follows (from bottom layer to top)

- Corn tortillas
- Shredded chicken with chipotle seasoning
- Cilantro lime rice
- Seasoned black beans
- Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Avocado spread
- Mild (store-bought) salsa
- "Tapatio" hot sauce

Used a loaf glass pan and layered the tortillas on the outside, over and under to "simulate" a giant burrito. Quite delicious. Baked on 325 for 15 minutes. The chicken, beans and rice was cooked prior to layering.

I am quite curious to see what you all come up with.

[insert x amount of Mega Man emojis]

Axl has no right to be holding that microphone... He would be better off using that tambourine.

But Xero, you also just went there!

Hopefully she won't be a boss fight...

I mean, how can you possibly harm an innocent, beautiful face like this?

This YouTuber broke down the X Challenge theories with an interesting screenshot from within the challenge menu.

It shows what we already know: fighting against both Chill Penguin and Frost Walrus simultaneously. Other new details show other challenges, like pitting against Wheel Gator & Bubble Crab as well as Slash Beast & Grizzly Slash. Also, an option to take up to 3 weapons with you before accepting the challenges.

This lad also points out that the X Challenge option on the menu is labeled as Vol. 1, so there is bound to be a Vol. 2 (most likely for the 2nd batch of games), and perhaps more in the future if it's likely.

It's definitely much more interesting than some of the aggravating time challenges from the classic's Legacy Collection, and still praying for a potential feature to customize your own challenges.

Mega Man 8 had some good tunes (Search Man, Astro Man, Wily Stage 1 to name a few). Mega Man 2, then the fifth installment.... in no particular order.

X1 and X3 (SNES version) both top the list for best music scores in the X franchise. Second would tie between X4 and X5, since both of those games had some memorable soundtracks. ( ie. Slash Beast stage in X4, Zero Virus stages in X5).

Then Legends 2.....

Can't say much about Battle Network, Zero, or that other series... Haven't spent an hour on any of those games combined.

It's difficult to choose a single track. The music is one of the best elements about the Mega Man series.

With all the recent tributes to past releases within Super Mario Odyssey & Kirby Star Allies, it's only fair that the new Metroid should pay homage to all of the monumental installments in the franchise's history. A revamped Ridley won't suffice.

Think I've spent the least amount of time on X2 and X7, so this would be nice way to revisit X2 after so long...

Hoping they keep the SNES soundtrack for X3 instead of the Saturn's version, or at the very least, include an option to switch between the two.

This new challenge mode looks to be entertaining. If they're going to include numerous challenges with various boss fights, would enjoy seeing a "Sigma Rush" challenge... Fighting either his basic forms, his final forms, or even both (not all at once, mind you).

This is very well a nice way to dive into some nostalgic memories, as the X series stands as my favorite Mega Man spin-off.

Got to see VNV Nation live in October 2016. That was a killer show. If you're a fan of electronic/industrial music, you will enjoy their music.

New groups added to the roster:

- Kraftwerk (Man Machine, Electric Cafe, Trans-Europe Express, Computer World, Autobahn, Tour de France LPs)
- Tycho (Dive, Epoch)
- Boards of Canada
- Com Truise
- Negative Format

And some currently unable to recall off the top of my head.

Nearly 3.5 years later... A picture of me with my youngest nephew, taken last July. Nowadays not all that photogenic, but this picture was a particular favorite.

Now we're at 501 members... Those with an affinity for even numbers should steer clear until the next potential Matrician signs up.

Federation Force seemed to be Nintendo's idea to curb the fan's appetite for more Metroid while they worked on Samus Returns. Prime 4 was perhaps an idea written on paper at the time. Too bad it didn't succeed.

I never played it, but based off of its sour reception, might be one worth skipping out on. Also heard it was "too difficult", among other excuses.

Looking forward to this year's E3, hoping to see some actual gameplay footage of Prime 4, and little hope for an announcement of another installment (which seems unlikely).

No more spin-offs please.

(cue memories of Prime: Pinball)

I'm on once in a while, but much less now since purchasing the Switch.

It's not for Wii/Wii U, but this is my friend code for the Switch.

SW-6467-6946-6094

Name: Sprocket


Only own Odyssey at the moment....

That's a plausible reason, Mikero. The name seems much more connected to marketing and the gameplay style rather than the storyline. As for Prime: Hunters, apparently it takes place between Prime 1 and 2, according to the Wiki guide (which may or may not be completely reliable for information). It would make much more sense if it took place after the third installment (considering the post-credits scene), if they manage to put Prime 4 somewhere in between the 3 games. There's enough room between the installments to add some more story...

The ordeal behind the title is like naming a game installment "Halo" and not going to any Halo installation throughout the game, or even a slight reference to it. Oh wait, that's already been done!

As for Other M, it held some entertainment for a time (the Nightmare boss fight is my highlight), but it left much to be desired, and felt solely focused as a backstory; an explanation for Adam Malkovich and Samus' relationship with him.... Overall, it left a bittersweet taste in my mouth, and didn't have much replayability (since all the hidden energy/missile upgrades weren't too challenging to collect) in my opinion.

Fusion was a great game... One of my favorites next to Super Metroid and Prime 2. I doubt she'll sport that tight suit again, since she obtains her Chozo armor back from the SA-X at the very end of the game. I'm just crossing my fingers, hoping they can revive Metroid V once everything is said and done with Prime 4.

What I'm hoping to see in the new Prime installment are some, if not all of the characters from Hunters play some sort of role. No plot information has been disclosed yet, but those theories about Sylux making an appearance seem likely (if Bandai decides to go the route, that is). Unless of course, that post-credits scene was to simply tease Nintendo's interest in doing more with Prime in the future, which could explain why the fourth installment had so much hype behind it...

Being several months late since the E3 2017 announcements, it's an absolute must to discuss...

As I'm sure everybody is aware, Metroid Prime 4 was announced. I am a die-hard fan of the first three in the series, but I remain concerned with how good the story element will be in this fourth installment. Metroid Prime itself (or herself depending on your point of view) was destroyed, the Phazon source planet annihilated... So how can this still be named "Prime" if the main antagonist is defeated? A few sources confirmed that the trilogy's story arc is complete. No more Metroid Prime/Dark Samus... Would have been better off with a new name, or better yet, replacing Prime 4 with Metroid 5.... On top of that, Bandai Namco is replacing Retro on developing the game. Despite hesitation, I'm still looking forward to seeing the gameplay and details as they unfold. Theories on the story include Sylux's return (first appearance in Prime: Hunters) as an antagonist, Samus' brother making an appearance, or a mesh of the two with Sylux being Samus' brother, which sounds pretty lame...

Then there is Metroid: Samus Returns (Metroid II remake) for 3DS, which looks beautiful. I don't currently own a 3DS (yet), so didn't have a chance to play it. There was a fan-made remake called AM2R that I managed to snag before Nintendo removed it from the web (considering they were already remaking it). The fan remake is a great game, an homage to what was thought to be a dead franchise at the time. If you had the chance to grab it before the project was shut down, I'm sure some of you may agree.

My most anticipated announcement would be an official Metroid 5, which seems to be on the backburner (if not dropped completely), with most of Nintendo's efforts going into Prime 4. The standard story MUST continue... Most hard Metroid fans are praying for any lifesigns within the long-awaited installment, but there is little to no hope left. For those that don't understand the storyline within the foundation, the order goes as follows:

1. Metroid/Metroid:Zero Mission (NES/GBA)
2. Metroid II: Return of Samus (GameBoy)
3. Super Metroid (SNES)
4. Metroid Fusion (GBA)
5. Metroid V (??)

Prime series being set on its own timeline, but supposedly happens between Metroid and Metroid II..... And Other M (yuck) right before Fusion.

So Fusion is the most "recent" progression storywise, with an interesting cliffhanger that may put Samus up against the Galactic Federation. We may never know.....


Share your feelings on the revival of the Metroid series, whether they are good vibes or bad ones. If you've had a chance to play Metroid: Samus Returns, please share your experience. I'm hoping to play it sometime soon....

There are worse things than being banned, son.

Like pineapple on pizza.

Currently listening to numerous bands, mostly with an electronic foundation. Here's a list of musicians on my playlist.

-Apoptygma Berzerk
-Celldweller
-Bluetech
-Skinny Puppy/cEvin Key (all-time favorite)
-Solar Fields
-Decoded Feedback
-Koan
-Meat Beat Manifesto
-Jungle
-Orgy (classic material, not their new garbage)
-VNV Nation
-Throbbing Gristle

Trying to like Fear the Walking Dead, but doesn't compare to the original show, and that said show doesn't compare to the comics. Staying tuned hoping something good will happen, despite 2 episodes left in the season.

Not only looking forward to the return of TWD S6, American Horror Story this season looks promising. For those that watch that show, I understand if/why you don't believe this season will be good. Coven & Freak Show (S3 & S4) were god awful, especially their endings. Murder House (S1) was their best season, and if Murphy keeps to his promise to go back to his "roots" with this season, I'll tune in.

I'm right here.

Been frequenting the Matrix a lot recently (since I played through the recent Mega Man collection) and was wondering what a majority of the ol' Matricians were up to. I see quite a few of y'all are still active to an extent (Mikero, Rez, Abe, a few others).

As time takes a toll on all of us, we can't forget our history, where we came from, the people we met, and the events that have shaped us into who we are today. Which is why I can't ever forget about this place or any of you folks, even if I tried.

I did post this in the Creation Station for a reason. Since I've been gone for [insert time here], I've dived into the music industry. I was in a small garage band the last few times I showed my face here, but much has happened.

A colleague from high school and I got together to mash up different genres for fun. This created our band project Still Conscious which has seen members join and bail. Our old material is located here. Our access and knowledge of technology back then wasn't efficient, therefore the quality is mediocre at best. I manipulated drums/beats and synths.

We took a hiatus to focus on college #####, but in time we got back together and reformed with two new members to recreate Still Conscious into a progressive metal band (not my cup of tea but it was something). That material is located here. Again, I was the drummer and synthist. Second warning, it is metal, so listen at your own risk. 

Some drama happened and we disbanded for good (supposedly).

Which brings me to today. My colleague and I are still producing music together while trying to bring back Still Conscious a third time. The artistic direction will not be the same as it was the last two attempts (dark wave-ish? & metal), but as of where we'll go with it is still up in the air.

Now, I'm working on a solo electronic project, completely experimental. You can find my material on the Chauffeurs YouTube page here. All of my material was written through my perspectives of life. I have one full song available (currently re-visiting) called "Metropolis" and three short demos for other songs on my album. All of my material was created through Fruity Loops & the rx Nexus2 plug-in, along with some additional tech. I produced virtually everything you hear, aside from the samples, and yes that's me whisper-singing in "Metropolis". I'll upload lil' snippets and such from time to time on here.

75% of my free time has been put into music. Other times I work on a novel thingamajigger I had ideas for. I made a teaser page for the antagonist company in the story here. I'm currently trying to revisit it, as there were too many similarities with the TV show Mr. Robot.

So that's about it for me. I gotta tell ya, while typing this up I fell into a nostalgic trance while zoning-out into the notorious blue checkerboard patterns on the walls.

Jeez, and here I thought this place would be more populated. Maybe I came on at a wrong time.

I am a man that needs no (re)introduction, but I planned to come back a couple days ago to surprise you all, and remind each and every one of you pretty faces that you all have ONE YEAR LEFT TO LIVE. Enjoy it before that deadful day comes... and nothing happens... and we all go on about our day.

It's been a few years since I actually sunk back into the forums. Where has the time gone? Well, I did inevitably get a full-time job. Worked in a warehouse specializing in cowboy goods (bangoras, belts, stuff with random fur on it) for a few years. Within those few years, my band actually picked up, doing a few shows around Florida for a while.

If you were one of the fortunate ones that came to hear us play, thanks for the support.

If you were one of the more fortunate ones that stayed at home, then you saved yourself from going deaf.

We, the band (the two-member group) eventually split up due to creative differences, and I ended up drifting to a less-crackhead-filled section of central Florida. Been living with an awesome gal, and stayed at a job tossing dough and cooking pizzas in a high-quality restaurant, which was also a job I held back in late 2007.

After a hard-working 30 days, I said screw it and left. Got high as #####. With the help of my chick I was able to snatch a job over at Walt Disney World, as a "food handler" in a real fancy resort called Boardwalk Inn.

So if you come to Disney and stay at the Boardwalk Inn, recommend me and I will handle your food, as I am the food handler. It is my job to handle food, and more importantly, handle your food. I will be a great food handler and handle your food with extreme caution. I promise to handle your food with the upmost care. I will not do anything to harm your food, as I will manhandle it well before it reaches your table.

So lets spend the next 360-something odd days spending time with each other, and by that I mean sitting on our asses on the computer. It's good to be back.

Now that I'm settled, I DO have a question... What the ##### is a Mega Man?

Wow! I thought the cute lil' MegaMan smiley made it obvious that it was sarcasm! I guess some people are either blind or stupid! [/sarcasm]

Oy... I can't joke without somebody making themselves look stupid.
