  1. The king is dead!

    Since now we have somewhat moved to video games, I'm still not convinced Michael Jackson had a hand in the music for Sonic 3.
  2. Movie/TV recommendations

    Here is my favorite part!
  3. Tales of Monkey Island

    I guess I've never noticed this before, but why is LeChuck a short little man now? And they should *really* get around to fixing that rope. To end on a positive note, I love the work done on modeling and animating the face. Looks great! It almost completely makes up for the failure in that category on EMI.

    YEH WELL!!!111 check this link. It is fucking genius and only loosely related to the original statement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD21JDMp86c

  6. Idle Thumbs 31: The Future of Games

    I think it had sex with you or whatever is going in it that picture.
  7. Tales of Monkey Island

    Amazon is the worst to use to price a game. People notoriously inflate everything there or wait to jump on anything they have that may be out of print. The high priced stuff isn't exactly selling. Best way to get vintage games is Ebay on bid only type deals, because then you sort of end up paying around whatever the game's market value is at the moment. GameTZ used to be really good, but it got overrun by 10 year old kids who apparently sent a lot of broken stuff as well as probably the same people that extort on Amazon, who collect complete vintage games (in shrink wrap!) but never actually play them. Hahah, I can't believe that budget CD-ROM is worth anything to anyone now. It came in like a plain jewelcase where the cover had instructions on how to install! If I'm not mistaken it came free with CMI? At least that's where I had gotten mine long ago, but I had owned the disk versions previously. Lowest price I could find on Monkey Island Madness was a $40 CD in sleeve on Ebay. It's so not worth it.

    Did you get the flimsy box version with the heavy Prima strategy guide stuffed in there?
  9. Idle Thumbs 31: The Future of Games

    Don't they punch out the barcode or have "promo copy - not for resale" printed on the disc or cartridge? Not that any of that matters to most stores, since Gamestop notoriously takes bootleg GBA and DS cartridges.
  10. The OTHER Pirate Bay thread...

    That if you want to listen to music or watch movies then it comes with a heavy premium attached?
  11. The king is dead!

    It applies to everyone!
  12. Why does the history on Firefox suck so much?

    I don't see what's so bad about it.
  13. The king is dead!

    I'm also with JamesM on this. It's easier than me having to type anything I feel.
  14. Life

    I cannot draw fast enough to get a ton of new artwork and animation for my website which hasn't been updated in 2007 so that I can get a job in a city northwest of me so that I can live with my girlfriend who is there for college. So behind. What is the secret to doing confident, efficient, and productive work in the evening when you get home from your day job doing the same? I usually end up zoning out and falling asleep. Coffee works about half the week, but I usually crash a few days later.
  15. Milo

    I think if I were 11 again, I would wish I was Milo so that I could get all the attention and care that Claire gives him. It would would have made my adolescent time period much nicer, except for being stuck in a flat screen TV and all.
  16. Jake to me is just this guy that never responds to IMs until 12 hours later.
  17. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY---
  18. THIS STILL SAYS CHEESE PLATE.
  19. Milo

    What if you drew Milo's severed head on a stick?
  20. Life

    Sorry to hear that, Mr. Peel. Going through a break up a year or two ago was one of the worst times I've ever had and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I wasn't even engaged. I hope things turn out for the best!
  21. I lost my VMUs! What am I to do?

    Holy moly! I will do my shopping online if I ever need any more of these from now on! Sega Saturn strangely needs one of these to save any game.
  22. I lost my VMUs! What am I to do?

    I recently had to buy the CR2032 for a Super Nintendo game with a dead battery. While I remember them costing $7 in the year of 9/9/99, they are $4 now. So it's not as bad as it was. Of course for the VMU, you have to buy two. Yeah I don't think I have any Dreamcast games these days that actually have downloadable minigames.
  23. 1-in-4 men in South Africa are rapists...

    No. But maybe one day...
  24. Beatles: Rock Band

    Ahahaha, I would totally go for that. That would be amazing (assuming it's not developed by David Cage).
