Thank you all for the warm welcome, It's good to see that a lot of you are still here.

Wow that is a lot nicer than I thought it was going to be. I have never seen it before now, I assumed it was similar to one of those streetfighter gamepads they had for the original Xbox. Depending on the price I think I may get one when the PC version comes out BTW, Has anyone here run the SF benchmark? It will let you know if your PC can play the game or not. Here is a link, but I'm sure its hosted elsewhere as well: http://www.gamershell.com/news_78322.html

Very sorry to hear about this, It's going to be hard but you will make it.

Ah my bad, I thought it would be resized/use thumbnails automatically, I don't use these sites enough to know. I guess I'm off to figure that out. EDIT: Done.

First let me start by saying, goddamn I missed this place. Oh yeah and, I'm glad to be back. While where getting things like this out of the way, here is what I have been up to, mostly in order. I probably forgot some things but its 4:45AM here and I doubt you really want to read a detailed story of my life for the past however many months it has been. I'm not sure If this happened before or after I disappeared, but I became a manager at the restaurant I was working at, It was great for awhile, but was extremely exhausting, I got to the point where I just really didn't want to do it anymore. I really wanted to get demoted or something, but in a weird way it was like a small family there, I would be screwing everyone over sort of. Unfortunately I didn't really get to make a decision about this because I got screwed by a babysitter/co worker and was forced to quit. There was no way Marley could come to work with me. I didn't really want to quit, but I guess that's how that worked out. Shortly after that, me and my gf moved in together, she was living with her parents, and I was living with a friend before that. Fortunately she works at citi where they pay her very well so we are doing fine. We don't have a ton of money or anything, but we get by with everything we need. Up until about this point, I had been extremely busy, between working shit tons of hours, running to my place, running to her place, doctors, wic offices (free baby stuff from the government hooray!), etc. I just really didn't have time for anything, I was constantly exhausted, I really felt like I was going to die. I got online every once in awhile, posted things here and there, I even tried to get into this other forum (gasp) but it just wasn't the same. Small enthusiast PC board, great board, especially since I was able to keep up with it pretty easily, but now I have a lot more free time because I'm not longer playing catch up with all the stuff I didn't get done earlier (finally), I wanted to wait to come back until I could post more than just every so often. Anyway, now I'm a stay at home dad. My gf goes to work all day, and I get to spend all day with my daughter, which is nice because at first I barely got to see her at all. She is a little shit and she drives me nuts, but I love her. Everything seems to have worked out WAY differently than I expected. I was really losing my mind at the beginning there. I'm glad I stuck it out. Me and my parents don't talk anymore, but it doesn't bother me to be honest. I'm doing great. I'm thinking about getting some shitty job at a gas station or something just for some extra side cash. We are both going to go to college, but I think she is going to go to college first, then I will (I ended up dropping out for now). See one of Obamas big changes basically says as long as we don't get married yet she can go for free (she gets a certain amount of money, which happens to be more than enough for the colleges around here). So that works out nice for her/us. I have some money saved away for myself too. I already have some classes finished though, So this is still open to debate. So yeah, Basically I sit at home all day with my daughter, So I have A LOT of free time now and I'll be here pretty much all day and because everyone seems to do this, it's now my turn to annoy everyone else with it! Time for an excessive photo gallery of Marley (but not too excessive) Oh yeah, and what did I miss? I imagine quite a bit! The whole site looks different! (I actually tried to do this a few days ago but the site was down) This is her most of the time, and my current background:

I aim for 7-8 but end up getting only 5-6 quite often, not too sure which happens more often. I don't have time for any naps because I'm always busy.

Thin crust "original" crust pizza is okay (It was originally thin crust so I don't know why its referred to as original) Deep dish IS NOT Pizza, I eat it on occasion but its not pizza and I refuse to call it that. Maybe I'm just too obsessed with my Italian heritage.

I'm high right now

This is the hippiest (word?) thread ever to start on 1emulation and I'm loving it.

Wow, piracy rates must be amazing over there, I sure wouldn't pay that much.

Some games need a patch I think, try looking for one. I don't remember if this game needed one or not.

yeah basically you fill in your current phone number and send it back (mine was unlisted) all the other info was filled in for me, If they really want me they can come get me and they will, don't worry about that. Let me rephrase my bitching however, Its not America I'm embarrassed about, Its the stupid people in it and the stupid things they do that I'm embarrassed about. However, I do dislike actual America because I find the culture boring and uninspired compared to the rich cultures/histories of other countries. About the Police Officer job, Do I really have a passion for being a Police Officer? No. Do I respect US Law very much? No. Do I think the US legal system is complete crap? Yes. Does being a police officer carry good benefits and a steady job? Yes. I think you catch my drift. It's not like I'm going to start killing Americans, That would make me just like the rest of the gun toting rednecks obsessed with killing who plague this country. I don't care that much, just enough to not want anything to do with it and to have the desire to distance myself from all the crap over here

I think its safe to assume a lot has been learned since previous attempts, and mistakes won't be repeated, these companies aren't retarded and a lot different from what they once where. In other words I'd like to see Sega/Nintendo competing again. Atari would be nice to say but they literally are not the same company as when they started. Although I really can't figure out whats going on with all the half assed games from sega :/

I use iGoogle because I'm too lazy to set up RSS feeds anywhere else (even though I use firefox) and its easy to keep track of news that way. I mostly only read tech news though.

I was going to say I have a webcam and mention something about the PS2 EyeToy and the Xbox Live Vision Cam working on the PC as a webcam (for cheap) but the whole stripping thing turned me off to it.

The Megadeth warchest is so awesome, saw that on your site.

I heard it hit 10,000 I've never been through a "real" earthquake, but it sounds pretty terrible.

Sega Genesis because: IT had better graphics, by far, NOT SNES It was like buying an Xbox and a PS2, Its always better to get the Genesis (Xbox) version because its always the better version graphics/running wise It had no censorship like SNES did Growing up this was the first system I played almost constantly I insist the add ons where cool It plays doom better than SNES. I just know it better than the SNES, I can't list that many great SNES games

This game is so awesome, I would steal it if I didn't have the money, in fact I'm going to steal the PC version when it comes out. I think it lived up to the hype. Way ahead of the last ones.

Monster cables are as good as they say they are, they are just a ripoff, truth be told, you can find the same quality for less (and for digital stuff they are just full of crap, I'm talking analog) Anyway yes it should work. They are RCA cables right? Green Red Blue White Yellow Darker Red/etc? or is it HDMI? In which case it will work then too.

doesn't matter to me, in fact if she smokes weed its a plus

I've been playing Bioshock to pass the time until GTA IV. I never even got to play Bioshock very much or get very far in it, which sucks because the game is so awesome, I'm at the part where the submarine gets blown up (trying not to spoil it for anyone else) speaking of which I have a question, Sometimes I run into Big Daddies that do not have a little girl, which I can kill but then they come back how do I get the little girls to show up with them so I can finish them off and get my damn adam? I've ended up skipping a lot of them because of this. I figured I would get them later at a second run through the game but its starting to be too many for my liking.

she is already pregnant so I don't have to worry too much about it Speaking of which first thing tomorrow is more sex! I'm off work so that means more videogames, and when she gets off work that will probably mean even more sex. hurray for me.

Work, followed by videogames, followed by sex, followed by more videogames, followed by more work, followed by sex, which is followed by more videogames. The usual.

Yes keeping baby and probably marrying girl if everything continues as it is now. We find out the sex next month I think. I'm just trying not to jump into that too early and regretting it later, but I definitely want to and so does she. We are probably going to be one of those couples that stays engaged for a long ass time, but I haven't asked her yet because I have to save money for an expensive ass ring. She doesn't want an expensive ass ring but I insist on one. Plus it gives us more time to think about it. Oh and I forgot to mention about how I was sick and thought I was dying, apparently I got better, I've felt fine. I'm just kinda sleepy a lot but I do get little sleep most of the time and I have an iron deficiency that comes and goes that probably has a lot to do with it. If I can remember to take my vitamins more often it should go away I think.
