Evolution of the Revolution

Ah, Nintendo's Revolution. The source of so many hopes, so many jabs, and so many laughs(including the fact this arrived in my e-mail as "breaking news"). LBD "Nytetrayn"

Evolution of the Revolution

Just got back from Batman Begins.

Wow. This is what midnight showings are all about. I'll try and gush about it while remaining as unspoiling as I can. First. I really, REALLY hate myself for missing the Batmobile at Eaton Centre now. That thing is fucking AWESOME. Second, Katie Holmes' character is,...

Be a Hero?

Sign in one of the elevators of our apartment building. Personally, every time I see this sign, I think to myself, "Bullshit." I really disagree with the notion that what they describe in these pictures is heroism, unsung or not. Seriously, since when is a...

So Sue Me

If you haven't read it already, Red's Trip Through Your Wires chapter 24 is up and waiting for you. I'm rather satisfied by it, as the missus gave a pretty damn good portrayal of my namesake in the piece. Better still, I can see my choice for the voice of this younger...

The Credit Card Prank II

THIS is funny, if not a bit scary. Thanks to coolfirebird for bringing it to my attention. Gotta feel sorry for the guy at the end, though. And I think this actually says a lot about commission vs. wages. Though God help me if I had to survive selling things on...

Evolution of the Revolution

Thanks to X-Warlock for this one.

Random Vin Diesel Facts. Vin Diesel invented toilet paper, before he did everyone wiped their ass with old hair obtained from barber shops. Hence the rise of hair stylists and the fall of barbers. Vin Diesel walked the entire length of the Oregon Trail three times...

Flash Fun

The REAL Legend of Zelda. Alternate link, beware of pop-ups. Super Smash Bros. Brawl Alternate link, beware of pop-ups. LBD "Nytetrayn"

Evolution of the Revolution

Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom 4

And so, one of the greatest Flash series I've ever seen, as well as perhaps some of the greatest uses of custom sprites, comes to an end. What an awesome series, makes me proud to be a Mario fan. 🙂 LBD "Nytetrayn"

Mega Man X8 – The Real American Intro

Ok, maybe "real" is a horrible choice of words to use, but I couldn't resist the GI Joe pun. Anyway, debuting first on my LJ Friends list is a little project that I've been working on recently with Planet Mega Man's thenekomancer and Rockman.EXE Online's ryoneko. I...

Mission Complete

So, just this past Sunday at work, or rather, RIGHT before I had to start, I finally beat Mega Man X8, with Axl. On Normal, mind(I'd beaten it on Easy beforehand). Still have to see X and Zero's endings, but with the way I'm blowing through Hard, I don't expect it to...

For those wondering…

Kalidor: Well, dang. QUOTE Guys, Hate to have had to do it, but I had to pull down the supermanisadick.com website. The load continued to rise through the evening to a point where we were peaking at a maximum of 172 hits per second. Our servers could have taken quite...

Evolution of the Revolution

Clarification?

Was just reading about the PSP and the DS. I hear that while both have had dead pixel issues, Nintendo has publicly apologized and said they'll gladly replace any DS's with said issue for free. Whereas Sony has made no such apology, and also said they won't replace...

More X8

Let's see, more X8 thoughts. Because I have nothing else to write about, apparently. 1) I hate when video games, ANY video games, lecture you after the first time you do something. Examples of which are the following: a) The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past -...

Mega Man X8

Just got Mega Man X8, and played a little of it. Won't say how much, but let's just say I'm not very far, so no spoilers, plzkthxbye. But, my thoughts: 1) Voices of X, Zero, and Axl are better acted than in Command Mission, despite being the same guys. But as I...

Go Fig.

rom woekitten's journal... ....I still think the elevator to the moon is the most ridiculous thing CAPCOM has come up with for the X series. >> My reply is thus: The irony is astounding. So much science fiction, and one of the times they do something actually grounded...

Rescue Zeroes

Wow, can't believe how slow I am on this... I just noticed, in all the coverage of X8... it looks like you don't have to rescue Reploids anymore. This both thrills me, and disappoints me. It thrills me because frankly, ever since they went the MMZ1 route of "get the...

State of Mega Man

The sad truth, as it stands. We've become victims of our own popularity. Sort of. Erdrick wrote:Quote:I don't care how many polygons are tossed onto the screen, the underlying gameplay of X8 is beyond old, it's dead. Mega Man should advance. Since it has not, I find...
