No, there are some more quite acceptable songs there, admittedly nothing I would listen to on a regular basis.

Friday night I worked myself to exhaustion, but I felt better at the end of it all because my shift ended RIGHT when I ran out of energy.

Last night I worked myself to exhaustion and THEN HAD TO DO ANOTHER TWO HOURS OF #####ING WORK. Goddamn.

Tonight, I don't give a ##### what anyone says, I'm not working any harder than my sustainable pace.

I'm really not qualified to comment, because teachers over here are better-paid than any other public servant-type-people, thanks to the ten-odd years we had the NDP in power.

X3 wasn't all that bad, the soundtrack was terrible though...

Actually there were a number of excellent tunes in there if you managed to ignore all the crap around it. Gravity Beetle, Toxic Seahorse, Blizzard Buffalo, Doppler Stage 1 - all four of those rank high on my favourites list for the whole series, though they can't touch the unparalleled awesomeness of X1's soundtrack or the many highlights of X2's.

do not accept input from ANYTHING but the cable.

That's what prompted me to say that.

I'm pissed.
I brought my Wii to the hotel we're staying at this week in hopes of being able to connect it to the wi-fi and get MM1,2, and 9.

Turns out the very nice TV's are custom programmed into the hotel network. And do not accept input from ANYTHING but the cable.

I cannot operate my Wii.
I have to wait EVEN LONGER to get MM1,2, and 9.
I need a USB-LAN adapter.

Also an RF modulator, if I read your post correctly.

The cyberpunk junkie in me votes dystopian future.

A half Spanish and a half Black ain't clones but we're clearly related because that's the only way powers work. Truth is, I'm seven thousand years old and your shapeshifting grandmother's (who is also Abe's mom) illegitimate half-brother from her dad who went back in time and had a kid with an exiled pharaoh.

Belgarath, I thought you didn't exist.

EDIT: Bigger screen, huh? I guess that means they'll be able to fit NES and SNES games now possibly... without things going off-screen.

I'm pretty sure the DS' display resolution

a) won't change and

b) is already more than 256x224 per screen.

Do us all a favour and make sure you don't find out.

Unwittingly you seem to have drawn Pugsley from the animated Addams Family series.

CAPSLOCK: CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

1 block ~= 1 megabit, so no it's about 11 times as big.

CompSci major, thinking of a minor in music as well.

Why bother making a pistol the size of a small rifle anyway?

Once I get this bloody program to cooperate with me, I'll be playing Battlezone again for the first time in six or seven years YAY FOR FPS/RTS HYBRIDS

speeddemosarchive and gameFAGS.

Nobody knows exactly how it's done, and the glitch only saves like 1.5 seconds at most anyway.

Death by Chocolate is a misnomer, though they ARE a dessert specialist and they ARE excellent at it.

Well, that #####s over people who try to hit the leader boards honestly.  Glitch exploits are one thing, but there's no way to tell if they did or not.  Capcoms going to need to address/fix this if the leader boards are going to mean anything.

Actually all of the current highscores for Concrete Man don't use that glitch, SO.

I call it by name wherever possible, but really I don't give a #####.

We had 486's at our elementary school YAY NUMBER MUNCHER AND MATH BLASTEEEEEEEEEEEEEER

Of course this was well after the Pentium chip had been introduced, so we were actually several years behind but WHATEVER.

It's epic, but...

you suck!

  NOW I'VE GOT YOUR POWER!!!

Happy-ish birthday anyway

Yeah, way better than the crappy MM8 one anyway.

Chron beat you to it.

#####ING EPIC

WITH A CAPTURE CARD DUUUUUUUUUUUH

DUDE THOSE ARE EXPENSIVE
LIKE HE'D WASTE HIS MONEY ON THAT

WELL HOW IS HE GOING TO RIP THE LEVELMAPS THEN HUHHUH

Are you kidding me top spin is awesome if even only for the final boss NERRR

Now Search Snake, on the other hand...

It's.... beautiful.

I have a save file with the eight RMs down at 15:14

now I'm just trying over and over to get a sufficiently-good fortress time

I WILL MAKE THAT TOP TEN.

Concrete Shot is broken, actually, it'll take most minibosses down in five hits.

It's harder than average for a classic-series game.

L block > either of those.

They're too expensive for me to bother, so neither do I.

Further aid for the not-really-paying-attention-right-now: remember what the topic was originally 'about'.

Wonderful things called capture cards.

Plus it's not that hard to reconstruct a sprite based on what you see, especially if you've already taken a screenshot with said capture card.

Rush Coil is your friend for the first three screens.

Rush Jet across the first set of magnet lifts. Make sure you have five or six bars of ammo left on it (fly across the bottom, BTW) and pick up the large weapon refill at the right edge of that screen (the balloon can easily be defeated with trident). The shield flyers can be taken out with trident as well, just make sure you don't get hit because you lose all your momentum which will really hurt on the ice.

How you take out the Uzi Joe is your choice, though I recommend either Concrete Shot or trident. Then Rush Coil up to the next screen, put a Blackhole Bomb between the Joe and the Met, and Rush Coil up again.

Activate Rush Jet on the platform BEFORE the one that has the grey cloud extending underneath it NOT QUITE TO THE NEXT PLATFORM. In other words, the platform before the platform with the second steppable cloud under it. If you hold up-right on Rush Jet you'll do fine, then you can fly closer to ground right before you run out of ammo for further optimization.

Now equip Plug Ball (while you're falling off Rush Jet maybe) and make sure you KEEP JUMPING when the rain is on your side.

At this point it just becomes boss luck.

On the scoreboard for Tornado Man again, once more in seventh place, this time with 1:40.38

Well, maybe mike doesn't want to know.

I've got a graphical demonstration for you.

[spoiler]http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k163/Cnl_Fatso/mm9.png[/spoiler]

And through all the ages I really haven't given a #####, though I default to writing Mega Man as opposed to the other incarnations.

I refused to watch any videos pertaining to MM9, except for the one or two promotional ones that came out ages ago.

Ha-ha, I just learned that concrete shot can freeze the lava.



Almost a day AFTER beating the game.



Where there's a puzzle that REQUIRES YOU TO KNOW THAT.



I am #####in good.

Yeah, I got that challenge somewhere along the line, though I forget exactly where.

Good luck, that only took me about fifty tries.

WOOT WOOT!! Ending the night with a 1:44:21 on Tornado, bumping me to seventh.

We'll have to see if that's still there in the morning.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!! Ninth place on the leaderboard as of right now with a time of 1:45.60 on Tornado Man.
