Probably not alot of interest in it. The PC98 had a good bit of games released for it, but mainly dating stuff and cheap RPGs outside of well known titles available on a range of platforms. The FM Towns and X68000 had far more and better titles available, with much higher interest. Yes there are plenty of good games, and well known games, but they were inferior. I'm honestly surprised anyone even bothered to write and emu for the PC for this, let alone one for the Xbox.

Jalapeno's are what I use to make my hot sauce, but I make mine in a cruel cruel way...you don't want to be in my house while I'm prepping. I boil mine in vinegar+water until they're shriveled right up and all the oils are floating on top. While doing this, the air in the kitchen is next to impossible to breath without feeling like you're dying. I then skim all the oil and mix it with a bit of brown sugar and tomato juice. Brown sugar enhances not only the flavor...but the heat. From there I simply use it as an additive to whatever I'm making. I put it in pasta sauce, chili or even make a chili sauce out of it. Tastes great, but you WILL blow yourself a new asshole after eating it and will want a replacement mouth. I've done it using Habenero's, but it is just insanely hot...

If your woman doesn't let you have your likes...you need a new woman. Any woman that says "The games go, or I do" would be told "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!". I have my hobbies, if you don't like em...fuck off. You can't neglect her though, that's where some guys get it wrong. Just don't let her make you neglect YOU, for her...or she needs to go.

That's Plasma, period. I turn my TV on in the morning, and while it's still black on-screen, I can still see the in-game lobby burned in from playing MW2 the night before. Goes away shortly after though with something else on-screen.

No it's actually sitting off to the right, it's a full-size tower as it's my main PC. Master Chief helmet from Halo 3 Legendary Edition sits on it (Got it NIB for $20...couldn't pass it up as I didn't have Halo 3 yet)

I originally had my 32 in my office, with my consoles there and the old CRT in the living room. I moved the CRT to the basement for the kids, I no longer have an office so the 32" went in the living room. Suffice it to say, using it from the couch with PC alone made it seem like a postage stamp. Text was hard to read from 8 feet away. Bigger TV was REQUIRED.

My "Man cave" is actually multiples... Basement spare bedroom has PC/Xbox test rigs with a TV and my 2 Vintage pachinko machines. Small room in the basement holds my TMNT arcade machine, Magic Worm and my Phoenix Pinball. My servers are in there too. Garage has my Virtual On arcade machine. Not working yet, haven't had time to put it all back together. Living room...I recently had to buy a 50" plasma, 32" was really sucking in the living room given the size of the room. Still need to tidy up some, and I have a cable cabinet for behind the TV to hide everything that I've been too lazy to put in. All my other games are in 3 metal cases off to the side out of the picture. The left shelf is all 360 games.

Fixed...

I too smoke native cigarettes, $15 a carton...makes it harder to quit when 1 cigarette doesn't even cost you 2 pennies! I need to quit though, just a matter of time until I get the willpower up again.

It's not that the emulators suck, it's that the Blackberries are underpowered. I have an 8800 Curve, and my old Nokia 6085 can play NES and Gameboy just fine. The Blackberry? I MIGHT get 3 FPS if I'm lucky on the GB emulator. The NES emulator doesn't even work. BB's MIDP support is horrid, so even with enough power...shit just doesn't work, and there are far too many BB modules loaded that eat up what little RAM they have.

It just means Americans can't seem to fathom a 3rd party, and see that politically...they're sheeple.

I pissed myself laughing and my eyes are watering...that was fucking hilarious.

Metroid Prime Trilogy? I bought it, Limited Edition in the metal tin...not selling until it's worth a small fortune lol I should actually go see if there are more still at the store here, so I have one to keep sealed, there probably is. If I can snag more than 1, I would sell you one at cost Will...I'm not greedy, except with complete and utter strangers. Edit: I checked every store here, nothing...nada. When I bought mine the "No longer produced" thing was already in the know, just not to me, and there were 6+ copies where I bought mine. Oh well.

I have played through Other M twice now, and I liked it. The only "fans" criticizing it, are hardcore morons that think the Metroid Manga is some sort of bible. Those Manga's conflict with the original games themselves, and weren't released until long after the first 3 games. Zero Mission has stuff the original game didn't, played nothing like it and wasn't laid out the same yet it wasn't slammed. For a 3D platformer Metroid game, Other M was great. The only reason anyone whined is because WE'VE NEVER HEARD SAMUS SPEAK BEFORE! If any games should be slammed, it should be the Prime series and Fusion, Fusion especially as it's just fucked and doesn't fit in at all. I say this with Metroid being my fav game series.

I have a 1mbit upload too (But I'll never get over 80-90kb/s...not 128kb/s), and I give 10-15kb/s upload. BUT I run Transmission on my BSD server for movie/TV downloads, I run uTorrent on my main windows PC for other stuff and uTorrent occasionally on my laptop if it's something I'd prefer to use on there. That's 30-45kb/s of my upstream, leaving me with roughly half for other things. Saturating my upload for the sake of others is not something I will do, I hate waiting for a simple webpage to load for 30 seconds because my box communicates with the server like a kid with down syndrome. I however always seed to at least 1.5, and my boxes are on 24/7 (At least the BSD server). Never had a problem with dirt slow downloads like that, but I also fill out my tracker list with every tracker there is for a torrent.

It's obvious you guys are like the majority of torrent users, in that you know NOTHING of how bandwidth and seed/peer ratio work. You have practically a 3:1 Peer/Seed ratio on that torrent. 3 peers for every seeder. Those seeders aren't necessarily seeding your one precious torrent. Just because a seed is there, doesn't mean every one of those 1463 peers connects to them. 3-5 peer slots per torrent is average. 3 torrents seeding, 5 peer slots...there's 15 peers divided by X-kb/s. Oh and I'll NEVER devote all my upstream to you, you chew up all the upstream and it obliterates my downstream. You can't talk to a server quick enough, you're waiting on it to return communication with you simply because it hasn't even received anything from you yet, there is a ACK(Acknowldegement) on EVERY packet before another is sent. There's a good chance you're shooting YOURSELF in the foot emsley, if you're maxing out your upload...it's going to kill your download speed. 80kb/s your max? Give em 50 or 60 of it. Not trying to be mean, but the fundamental lack of understanding in how this stuff works makes me want to scream sometimes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol

Are you using a compressed format like DivX/XviD for your capture? That will DEFINITELY help kill your framerate as it's doing the compression on the fly. If you have the hard drive space to do it, use uncompressed video. Then use something like VirtualDub to encode to a compressed format after.

You can't magically record the game on the other PC with fairy dust and happy thoughts, that requires a capture card in the second PC taking the output from the one you're playing the game on. You can't even capture it over a remote desktop session, as no RD is fast enough to process the framebuffer. 2 options 1: Local capture software like FRAPS or HyperCam 2: Capture card on another box A KVM switch lets you control 2 PCs with 1 keyboard+mouse+monitor, nothing more.

I enjoy my DS and Wii, and I don't care for ANY of the games you guys spoke of...so I think that says alot about the "Wii has no games" bullshit you hear out of Corporate Fanboy Salad Tossers. Nintendo knows how to innovate, EVERYTHING they have created has been copied by their rivals. They're still in business for a reason, and claims of "Kiddy games" are unfounded. Some of the best games I've ever played, from each generation have been on their consoles. Good games don't require blood and boobies...unles you're 10 and have never seen them IRL before!

I love kids, especially babies and thankfully I can have more. I'm going to infact, GF is 9 weeks now...awesomeness. Cry away!

Check /etc/rc.conf for the variable HARDWARECLOCK and see if it's set to "local". If it is change it to "localtime" and see if that fixes your problem. Not sure why it would switch the timezone, but it may have something to do with that variable not allowing your settings to stay put.

Peanut allergies can be overcome, and food allergies are bullshit creations of our era and culture. You think anyone in Rwanda has a food allergy?

Simplest way to put forth to the masses how that sort of thing works.

Genes also work on a DOMINANCE factor. My ex-wife had a genetic bone disease that she could have passed on to our daughter, but didn't. Why? I have no history of it in my family, thus no dominant OR recessive genes for it. She however had it, and thus had a dominant gene for it. Dominant Gene + Dominant Gene = Will have the genetic trait Dominant Gene + Recessive Gene = 75/25 chance of Dominant/Recessive(Carrier) Recessive Gene + Recessive Gene = Will carry the gene for said genetic trait (Will be a recessive gene carrier) In our case, the Dominant+No Gene factor was a 50/50 shot on our daughter not having it, or being a carrier of the gene...she still may carry it, but doesn't have the disease. I have better than 20/20 vision with perfect color pickup still to this day, and I see in the dark like a cat. My eyes also change color throughout the year.
