  1. Sorry to hear about the accident, DB! At least it’s pretty clear what happened.

    [edit: snip]

    Using chemicals for thrills just ain’t my thing, personally. I got a buzz from Oxycontin once (had a prescription; got my third molars out). The experience made me turn to other painkillers for the rest of the recovery – I want less pain, not a perception of reality that’s considerably more distorted than normal.

  2. CPS3. An arcade system running exactly six games (in no particular order):

    Street Fighter III: New Generation

    Street Fighter III, 2nd Impact: Giant Attack

    Street Fighter III, 3rd Strike: Fight for the Future

    Red Earth

    Jojo's Venture

    Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

    All in all, 3s is still played, and maybe one day I can actually play it competitively (psshhhh!).

    I'm also thankful for The Elitist Superstructure of DQN @ 4-ch and my happy pills. They keep me sane.

  3. Crime Alert

    April 23, 2007

    At approximately 2pm today, the Registrar’s Office received a call from an unidentified caller stating, “There is a bomb on your campus” and hung up. The caller did not indicate location or any other specific information.

    The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is assisting Public Safety with this investigation.

    We want to alert the RIT community of their need for continued vigilance and to report suspicious behavior immediately to Public Safety.

    And no evacuation whatsoever, because there was nothing to go by.
  4. Sounds less like a driver problem and more like a network problem to me.

    Usually when half the Internet works and the other half doesn't, you can only yell at your ISP and hope they fix it, but usually they already know it's broken and your yelling won't help them fix it any faster.

  5. It's such a buzzkill. Thanks to the fact that I was born in the morning 14 timezones ahead, I turned 19 earlier than my actual birthdate, just like every year I've been on U.S. soil. Not that it matters in the country I was born; they tend to up your age on the new years there.

    I am enjoying my wintry RIT spring break, and the fact that all my presents are pretty much tuition payments. Except my brother, he got me the SatAM boxset preordered, which by the way is coming out, so preorder it.

    @SK: I didn't have an AIM account 5 years ago!

  6. Irony of ironies, I like 2D fighters the best, but the only ones I'm anywhere near up to date on are the easier 3D ones like SCIII (I'm no good at Virtua Fighter, but the good news is that they don't change enough for it to throw you off when they make a new one). Especially SCIII. 2D... it's not like I don't know them, but darn it if the most recent one one I'm decent at is SFA3.

    Hm, I've been sketching down ideas for fighters for years... maybe one of these days I'll actually try to pull it all together....

  7. Yeah, I've only had these problems with high temperatures (obviously), the computer thinks it has high temperatures (in which case it cuts out anyway), kernel panic (your OS usually lets you know somehow), and hard drive failure (failed hard drives tend to stay failed). Also driver problems (eep) and multicore synch stuff and meh (more eep).

    Also, I turn off my machines when I don't use them... so I never got these problems when I did use Windows. Hrmph.

  8. Well, to tell the truth, I was pulling a few strings of SFGHQ here and there since 1999 (sixth grade, dang!), but all the consequences of that have been fulfilled now, so I don't let it count. I consider my post listing to have begun December 2000, because that's when I started posting for myself.

  9. I wouldn't say someone who has the discipline to pull it off "rabid", but they would indeed be crazy. Well, technically, I'll be certified crazy if (more like when) my bipolar diagnosis comes in, so I guess I'm not helping.

    Although Sonic fans do tend to be on the loopy end of the fan scale, though, it's not really as bad as "bad fic" or a lot of the furry stuff (always found it kind of amusing to see some people think I'm a furry... I have a few ties with the community, and I may know a bit about things, but I don't think I've actually participated... ever). Especially the sicker "bad fic". Dear God. At least most of those weirdos aren't the same people who draw really bad cartoon porn, and by that I do mean the REALLY bad stuff. Yikes.

  10. The following is from the reader mail section of Tips and Tricks magazine, No. 145 (March 2007):

    4) Have there been any cancelled Sonic games? If so, do you know where I can get a promotional box?

    -Leanna Hengst,

    Niagara Falls, NY

    [...]

    4) The only Sonic game we know of that was never released anywhere is Sonic X-treme, a Sega Saturn game that was cancelled early in its development cycle. (Another rumored game, Sonic Crackers, is almost certainly an early version of the game that was released as Knuckles Chaotix for the Genesis 32X.) Your chances of finding promotional materials for any unreleased Sonic game are practically nil, because there are a lot of super-crazy Sonic fans out there who have been looking for this stuff for years. Sonic may not be as popular as he was in the '90s, but he still has a rabid fan base of people who are so obsessed with the unfinished Sonic X-treme that they are actually trying to the the game finished or completely remade!

    It probably would have been helpful to mention that there is a slim chance to get extremely rare things (especially ones that didn't see out-of-Japan distribution) such as SegaSonic the Hedgehog or Sonic the Fighters. You could also cynically read into the subtones of how they view the Sonic fan communities, but I don't exactly hold T&T to the same standard of journalistic integrity as, say, The Washington Post.

    So uh, good job, whoever you obsessed people are. I know you're reading this.

  11. My "official" age as issued by the US government, or my "real" age, as is well known throughout the colonies of the BRPtic people?

    One is currently 18 (and yes, I'm surprised that some of you track my "birthday", and yes, it is coming up soon), the other is currently... damn old. But they both change every year....

  12. Just a note: When I see "roumaji", I think Japanese romanization. When I see "romaaji", I think someone tried to say "fromage" and failed. Of course, the best Japanese get a mac ad is the one with the scoot of doom. The best Japanese Microsoft ad? I'd say this one.

    My MacBook hard disk failed the other day, taking with it every project I was working on since May. I had 16 days uptime the week before, though....
