Yet, you pay sh*tloads for your precious anime and manga and spend almost all of your time glued to one or the other. Next, you try to learn Japanese so you can read/write/speak it -- mostly, so you can watch anime. After all that's said and done, you try to 1-up your anime buddies and brag about how you can read/write/speak Japanese but all you do is talk about anime and how one day you want to go to Japan so you can... do what? Get more access to Japanese goodies like anime that's not over here in the states? Don't forget about making stupid ASCII faces on IRC and forums. What does this make you? A loser.

Been playing Cooking Mama, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Spirit Caller (normally I would be ashamed of this, but I'm still waiting for SNK Vs. Capcom: Card Fighters DS), Electroplankton, and Mario Kart DS.

I, for one, welcome our new remotely controlled pigeon overlords.

It's full speed now... f**king awesome.

Cooking Mama is very good.

I've been playing a lot of "weird games" -- WarioWare: Touched!, Cooking Mama, Electroplankton, Trauma Center - Under the Knife, and Point Blank DS.

I'm nearly 21 and I've been playing games pretty much since I was born. I remember playing old computer card games on 5 1/2" floppies, playing games on the family Sega Master System, and when my dad picked up an Atari 2600 Junior. I still remember every video game console all my friends have ever had, etc., I love gaming. These days I play some PC games, my Nintendo DS, and my Sega Saturn to keep up my gaming. I haven't lost interest... everything comes in "bursts" for me. Sometimes listening to music will be my thing, sometimes partying, sometimes programming, and sometimes playing video games -- and recently it's been playing my Nintendo DS all the time... I don't think I'll ever grow out of it... come on... I mean... they're GAMES -- they're FUN... you're f**king stupid if you don't play.

I've always loved Top Hunter -- it was in a Neo-Geo machine at this arcade I used to go to in upstate NY.

Sony officially loses the console war in 3... 2...

That list is incomplete as far as I know -- I can think of at least one European release that's not on there off the top of my head.

My thoughts exactly.

Not yet, I'm trying to collect information still (like which games are Wi-Fi -- so I can make more userbar images).

It has always looked and sounded like it blows. AphexMandelbrot sounds like an angry Slashdotter or something -- hey, he made awesome points... but the fact is... the crap blows. I can't imagine they're doing too well for their "target demographic". Who the flock buys a modern PC (to meet these asinine requirements) for gaming only to use GameTap... probably not a lot of f'n people. Most people who have crazy awesome hardware won't be the "target demographic"... and who the f**k is the target anyway? Jackasses? Suckers? People who want to pay $10/month for crap?

Had my Mario Kart DS friend code changed -- edited my original post to reflect it.

Added you both. We need to get more people to submit their friend codes so we can get a little clique of 1Emulation DS match-ups.

There aren't even any replies in there, Robert. I'm talking about any and all friend codes -- so everyone can add each other on every game.

Hey, what are your friend codes for your favorite DS online games? Everyone share! Mario Kart DS -> 227726 240007 I'll be sure to add anyone who replies.

I recently bought a Nintendo DS and I'm looking for some good games to play. Anyone know some good games? Below are some games I've really liked so far... Bust-A-Move DS Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin Mario Kart DS Point Blank DS

Sounds like buffer overflow exploiting -- which would cause the restarting. Potentially, someone (if able through the exploit) could execute whatever kind of code they want to on your PC. I would recommend using only servers with the most up-to-date version of Kaillera -- and if that's where the problem lays, I would stay off Kaillera period.

World War II

I haven't the slightest idea.

As far as I know, he's not doing any demos -- only a final product.

Happy b'day, Robert! Tell us your story about the war.

My IRC friend Thaddeus (famous for his NES ROM hacks, mostly) is working on a homebrew PC game heavily heavily heavily influenced by Castlevania and its later 2D tiles (like Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night). He has dubbed this new project: Vampiria. Here are some AMAZING mock-up (and barebones) screenshots of his artwork that will be later fitted into the (already programmed) game engine... You can view some more screenshots here, if you'd like.

I wanted to try the online Phantasy Star games, however, I'm stuck on dial-up.
