I love it because I think it truly captures the sporadic, chaotic nature of the original tune.
I meant to find a decent rock remix of Wily Castle 1 from MM2 because it's the classic, or, even better, one for Ring Man's stage... ... but for some reason I had way more trouble than I should have.
Same goes for actually coding the Flash, but then I hate using Actionscript so much I tend to forget it easily.

Depends on what font you use and source the ASCII in; a monospace font like Lucida Console would retain the art. Our teacher taught us how to display text by showing us, "Screw you world!"
If I had a programmer's dog tag, it would simply be:
cout << "Insert name: " cin >> myName1 cout << endl;
or something
I... miss cout and cin sometimes. Sometimes. They were only marginally easier to use than printf and scanf. Really, what I miss are these << >> operators because they are amazing.

There's not really much you could do with it, either, and then there's the question of which assembly language to use (although I'm sure it would be some x86 derivative, as that's the most widely known).

There's a few punctuation but I don't think it'd be enough for any kind of ascii art: / - , . ; ' #
Yeah, not having any parenthesis limits me to programming languages I don't know very well. ... actually, there are very few that don't use them, and most are obscure esoteric languages. ... like Shakespeare... and even that requires square brackets. Plus you really only have about 78 characters to work with.

Damn, no punctuation, no programs. I was going to suggest you put the forkbomb on it, but that kills that idea.
Out of the ideas you have up there, I like "Organ Donor" best. "Property of Black Mesa" doesn't sound quite right... you might try something for the HECU, though.

If your sound card has an audio line-in that's compatible with the speaker-out for your TV, it should be OK.
Your PC would need to be on, yes.

It looks pretty meh to me. There are some games that benefit from 2.5D; I don't think Mega Man is one of them.
The screw thing reminded me a lot of Sonic 2.

Shaving can dramatically change the appearance of your face, but strangely, some people don't notice for a bit. That, however, is impossible not to notice.
Oh, and if you grow a goatee I will staple your face to a TPS report. I don't think would work on you, mate... but the Captain Ahab you had going worked OK.
I still think mutton chops would work best with you man.

I wound up wearing green by accident because I forgot to change my shirt from yesterday. It's not like I went anywhere though.
Green. Good color. It's probably my favorite color, yet for some reason I have a billion blue shirts and only two green ones.

"Why not" is what gets people in so much trouble logically.
What you've described, short of the fact you say you know you dreamed it, is the exact feeling I have during deja vu. Exact.

It still doesn't mean you should act like a spoiled baby about it.
Humans have always been really immature and ungrateful for the things they have. The man is right; we're all spoiled idiots.

Well, dreams are really just a regurgitation of things (settings, people, things, ideas) that your conscious mind picked up during waking periods. The idea is that while you're in deep sleep, your mind is more or less dormant, and focused on repairing the body. However, in REM sleep, your mind is being repaired, and in the process neurons start firing around lazily and with little regard to any memory that might be stored in connections between them.
There's a significant chance of recent things popping up, but this is a very random process, as I mentioned before. Old, old stuff, real or imagined, is likely to pop up.
There's not really a communication link between the conscious mind and subconscious during dreams so much as the entire brain is just functioning on clean cycle, so some things are bound to be jumbled around here.
What I'm saying is that it's all past knowledge, but configured in random ways; and random things sometimes look like predictions if something similar happens afterward.

There would have to be mysterious signals in the first place, and there's no evidence for it. There never will be, I think.
Now, there is a school of thought that says that events in your life may pick up certain trends that can culminate in specific ends; sort of like the weather, but on a grand emotional/situational social scale.
But it's not precognition. No such thing.

No, deja vu is an inexplicable feeling of repeating the same thing.
If you know that you dreamed about doing it, that's not inexplicable.
Yes, but it's highly unlikely that you could ever possibly dream about something and wind up doing it later. In fact, it's nigh impossible considering the random nature of dreams.

Yeah, I max out my settings on pretty much every Valve game out there. There are games I can't run 100% all the time, like GMod, but that might be because I have like 7000 addons for it.
Nova... ... are non-network applications still slow? I mean, I don't want to bog down this thread in techno-babble, but seriously, I've had similar problems before. If so, try out JkDefrag if you use XP. Works much better than the usual Windows defragmenter.

Sometimes I have dreams of stuff that happens months or years later, exactly like on the dream. I realize it's what I dreamt, but I still think the same I heard me thinking on the dream. I can't seem to be able to change it... What's cool about that is that I end up dreaming me watching TV, thinking "Oh, this is my dream"
It's called precognitive dreaming and it's more common than you think. I have such dreams all the time.
It's called deja vu, damn it, and it's not really based on dreams. Mystical mumbo jumbo doesn't exist.

tl;dr
But what I get from that is some idiot bought the console version of a PC game. That you can mod. And make actually fun. Also, it's an FPS, and those are only good with keyboard and mouse. Only. No exceptions.
