Oh give me a break, the SNES soundtrack is SOOOO much better.

There's really nothing to comment on, but I'm not terribly impressed. I might buy it, I might not.

But I might never buy another Star Wars game that isn't TIE Fighter 2.

Well, it's a good thing you know about it now, just in case there IS a point in your life in which you are required to push help for once.

Got to work at 5, had to kick it into overdrive the ENTIRE five remaining hours of business, then there were two of us closing from 10:00 to 11:15. Damn.

Watched Seattle's fireworks on TV. This year they actually had their ##### together and it went off without a hitch.

You're not missing much.

I'm sure that wasn't supposed to make sense, but if it WAS, sorry it didn't.

I briefly considered it, but decided I really don't care enough to bring it up.

Meat Loaf - Anything For Love

I blame Mike.

##### I love that song.

And that is some awesome stuff.

The thing with jogging is that, for reasons that continue to mystify me to this day, most people have difficulty doing it.

On the other hand, I'm terribly out of shape - there's this one hill on the way home from work that I used to be able to run up without difficulty (with all my work clothing/miscellaneous items), and lately it's stymied me to no end. This might also be a product of the change of temperature between August and December, but I'm certainly not nearly so fit as I was then.

Would be interesting if it was a less obvious shop.

EDIT: Oh, hello page 20. Didn't see you there, terribly sorry.

Good lord, you've driven my posting speed up too. Cut it out.

There are times when the sly implication is as far as the board rules will stretch, and in general this is one of those cases.

Half of me is wondering why you bother and the other half is wishing I'd said it first.

Got Far Cry 2, just in the middle of getting the damned 50MB patch, will probably simply jump into multiplayer without any clue what I'm doing.

I commend your choice.

We don't give the computer much reason to top 60-70 degrees. It's rarely working its hardest, except when I'm playing cod4.

'Better' perhaps in a technical sense because of the differing technology in use. However, by no means were the arrangements themselves better. Most of them were in fact TERRIBLE.

Good luck finding them, I still actually haven't found a copy of BN1. If you do, you're in for a treat.

On an almost entirely unrelated note, I just realized this Tuesday that one of my friends' bedroom could have been used as the blueprint for Mayl's.

No.

I love MOST of the songs, particularly the fortress stages and Crystal Man, but Gyro Man and Wave Man simply do not sound good at all.

Still good, but not on the level that 2 and 3 were.

None of those are anything like interesting, but good try.

Crosby, Stills & Nash - Suite: Judy Blue Eyes

I've been hunting this song down for AGES, but didn't know the title :S

Looky.

I want that.

I. Really. Want. That.

Listened to the album last night, and it makes a good backdrop for reading but I'll probably only rip a couple of the tracks. Overall not offensive to my ears, but Zeppelin is my raunch limit.

Happy jesus day, etc.

Money. A lot of money.

Also some books:

A compilation of A Brief History of Time and The Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking.

Firstborn by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter. Which really means that Baxter wrote it and Clarke stuck his name on it.



Also a new pair of earbuds (although I've already got a probably-better pair, they're more than a month old and thus on their way out, inevitably).

And a Black Sabbath collection, which I may or may not enjoy (me not being a metal fan, really, at all). Probably not enjoy, but I can't find out until I try it.

I have the PC version and the soundtrack is installed with the game so I can bring those epic tunes around with me anywhere I want. I wish they'd used a higher bitrate, though. Oh well.

Everyone should try the demo for free, at least. It ought to blow your mind.

WORLD OF GOO

SECONDED

There is no excuse for not getting that game. Seriously.

I think it was the Golden Age of OUR generation.

The younger crowd nowadays probably disagrees.

There were some really good N64/PSX games but I'll always have better memories of the SNES.

I can see why you would want to keep that a secret.

I did so well so easily in high school that I never learned how to work at learning. As a consequence, my grades are probably going to suck.

Fortunately, all my exams were so easy that I shouldn't get much worse than a C+ on any of the courses (which is still, you know, #####ing terrible).

I'm sure I'll... figure it out myself.

*hastens back to ds*

Bought Chrono Trigger DS yesterday on a whim, now I'm #####ing addicted, someone help me.

I DONT EVEN LIKE RPGS AND I SOMEHOW LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH

Oh yeah, that's right, Castlevania games inspired my mini-obsession with the guy in my avatar, although they were supplemented by On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony.

Almost every game I've ever owned has had an AWESOME soundtrack, so it could be said that my interest in video game music was inspired by the games I played. Other than that, nothing.

The rules are the only things that have changed less than the mods, really.

Ahem.

Yes, that makes perfect sense.

Dr. Hook - Carry Me, Carrie

Ukraine's flag is simple and elegant. And I'm descended from them, so that helps.

Oh, and Libya for no good reason.

They seem to habitually forget that the Wii is actually a modern gaming platform capable of better than circa-1999 3D rendering.

It goes so far beyond gamerscore though.

The average gamer these days is guilty of two primary sins:

1.) Taking themselves too seriously. This is why games that aren't hyper-realistic or shooters are seen as being "too kiddie" If you aren't killing something or humiliating someone, there's "no point".

2.) Having no imagination. If they don't thirst for variety, developers stop trying. This is how we ended up with so many essentially identical first-person shooters.

YES.

I'm still a shooter fan, but I want my Battlezone and Tribes back.

And my TIE Fighter, for that matter. Think another X-Wing game wouldn't sell out in a day? Think again.

Even if they could legitimately call it a 'total annular eclipse' - which seems redundant, because an annular eclipse is one in which the moon comes directly in front of the sun but never achieves totality because the moon is too far away from Earth to obscure it completely, and they'd be more likely to call a partial eclipse just that instead of distinguishing by type of totality - I saw that eclipse. It was clearly total total, corona and all.

Like I said, they lost me at 'total annular eclipse', which doesn't even make sense as scientibabble, let alone actual description.

Except Bob Saget is there.

Therefore, your table is invalid.

Yeah, if I were pressed to name my single favourite song from any video game ever, Stickerbrush Symphony would be it.

Which reminds me, I should get back to tweaking that midi...

He never fails to entertain.

Silly Mikero, addin a > before the string doth not code make!

Unless there's a language out there that actually DOES use > as an identifier of some sort.

Hmmm...

The first three books are pure gold, though I'll admit that the series goes bat##### crazy after that.

Patrick Stewart was the only good part of the first Dune movie, but I haven't seen the newer Children of Dune one so I can't pass judgment on it.
