Uh-huh

Dear ZONIC505,
I did, in fact, follow your attention-attaching name-drop. I punched Kodomo no Jikan into my local torrent search.

That series is ALL sorts of wrong. And by wrong I mean WRONG. You are one sick puppy.

Sincerely,
Applekid.

Humor

It's occurred to me that some people might need cheering up. So, here are my three favorite misogynistic jokes.

Oh, and, if you know me, you know that, seriously, I don't hate women at all. I love them. Very very much. But, you know, comedy is comedy. It's not that there's nothing I wouldn't do for a laugh, it's just that a laugh can do so much to make people feel better.

Joke 1:
A man comes home from an exhausting day at work, plops down on the couch in front of the television, and tells his wife, "Get me a beer before it starts!"
The wife sighs and gets him a beer.
Ten minutes later, he says, "Get me another beer before it starts!"
She looks cross, but fetches another beer and slams it down next to him. He finishes that beer and a few minutes later says, "Quick, get me another beer, it's going to start any minute!"
The wife is furious. She yells at him "Is that all you're going to do tonight! Drink beer and sit in front of that TV! You're nothing but a lazy, drunken, fat slob, and furthermore..."
The man sighs and says, "It's started..."

Joke 2:
A man took his wife to the rodeo and one of their first stops was the breeding bull exhibit. They went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said, "This bull mated 50 times last year." The wife playfully nudged her husband in the ribs and said, "See, he mated 50 times last year, once-a-week."
They walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said, "This bull mated 120 times last year." The wife gave her husband a healthy jab and said, "That's more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from him."
They walked to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said, in capital letters, "This bull mated 365 times last year." The wife, so excited that her elbow nearly broke her husband's ribs, said, "That's once-a-DAY. You could REALLY learn something from this one."
The husband looked at her and said, "Go over and ask him if it was with the same cow."

NOTE: The husband's condition has been upgraded from critical to stable and the doctors say after two months of rehab and a couple more surgeries he will most likely be okay.

Joke 3:
Q. How many feminists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A. THAT'S NOT FUNNY!

Pause

The following games I have are on pause. They have yet to be completed, at least this time around.

SNES: Yoshi's Island (replay)
GameBoy: Pokemon Blue (replay), Warioland (replay)
GameBoy Color: Pokemon Silver
GameBoy Advance: Advance Wars 2, Sword of Mana, Final Fantasy IV (beaten, but not the extra stuff)
DS: Final Fantasy III, Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow (beaten, but cart containing my original 100% save was stolen)
Gamecube: Metroid Prime (replay), Ocarina of Time Master Quest
PS2: Final Fantasy XII, We <3 Katamari, Dragon Quest VIII, Final Fantasy X-2
PC: Thief 3
XBox: XMen Legends, Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball, GTA 3 (first play on this platform)
Wii: Blazin' Lazers (TG16 VC)

Here is my game queue. That is, games not started but slated to be started "eventually" and "in any order" and "with quotes". Replays are left out, but a new game ALWAYS have to contend with a replay.

N64: Super Smash Bros.
Gameboy Color: Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon Gold, Zelda Oracle of Ages
Gameboy Advance: Pokemon Saphire, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VI
DS: Castlevania Portrait of Ruin, Children of Mana
Gamecube: Metroid Prime 2, XIII, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Majora's Mask
PS2: Legaia 2, Unlimited Saga, Rumble Roses
PC: Portal, Half Life Episode 2
XBox: Munch's Odyssey, Prince of Persia The Two Thrones, Sudeki, Castlevania Curse of Darkness
Wii: Paper Mario (N64 VC)

Heh, my missions are cut out for me.

Huh? Oh, yeah, there's a new member to the family. I picked up both an N64 and an XBox over the past few weeks. My game infrastructure just keeps growing! Not to mention games I would like to play and don't have.

It ain't easy, but, if it was, my list would be much much sorter.

u r mr. gay

It's only got three posts but I think it's hilarious. Obviously it's satire. My favorite part? "AAA+++"... like a game is an ebay seller or something. LOL.

Also, I bought a toy. Yep, totally. It's a secret, though, until it actually gets here. It's backordered.

A) No, it isn't a sex toy.
B) No, it isn't a flash card.
C) No, it isn't a mod chip.
D) No, it isn't a unicorn (see also A).

Super happy bonus points for guessing what it is before I announce it.

In other too-late news, my high school reunion was last week. Heh, no, I wouldn't be caught dead going to it. Fuck the fucking fuckers. There's no one I want to see and anyone who wants to see me is misguided and clinging on to a fiction. Besides, I know who my friends are... even if I don't get a chance to hang out and chill or talk every day. :)

(btw, if I haven't so much as spoken with you over the phone in the last two months, be more aggressive in seeking me out. Show me you care.)

In more other news, I'm an executive producer! A PORN executive producer. No, really. I bought into a porn flick and am funding it. You know, like an investment. I'm supposed to get a handsome cut of sales for as long as it sells. Honestly, I'm just hoping to break even. Porn is a crowded market but, hey, at least I help fuel the fire.

And, that's it. With each passing day I get a little less boring.

Also, this episode synopsis made me laugh. And the anime ain't too shabby, either.

Wh-- where's my stuff?

I'm mourning a little today. I lost a whole bunch of ROMs.

I'm not sure how it happened, actually. In fact, I might have lost them before on my last hard drive snafu and just didn't realize that it took my ROMs down with it, so, I'm mourning AGAIN for my data loss.

I had every single GB and GBC game dumped. No, you don't understand. Every. Single. Cartridge. Ever. Produced. Like, did you know Super Mario Land 2 had three different versions? Pokemon Yellow had three different versions? Other games had multiple versions, too. They're essentially the same game but with slightly more optimized code, slightly more fixed, another release for a different save memory spec, another release for Player's Choice, etc etc etc. I had it sorted by platform (GB,SGB,Dual GB/GBC, GBC), sorted by territory, everything. All verified I had a raw dump and a trimmed dump for each rom.

And now it's gone, or, rather, I just realized it's gone. I mean, yeah, I could download them again but it'll never be as nice.

What caused me to reach this realization? I pulled my flash carts out of storage. I had driver issues and spent the last few days working it out. Literally a few days.

The trick with flash carts is that the companies releasing them try to hide away from public scrutiny. Thank goodness there are underground communities that hold reputation above all else so we can keep track of what sucks and what doesn't. (I remember a bunch of Flash2Advance clones out there that were really shitty, and PocketHeaven was the first place to really detail how to spot them in the wild.)

Turns out the drivers don't work under XP like they used to and I couldn't uninstall them because of the way XP shadows system files and to make a long story short my broken laptop turned out to be the key to get the program to write GB and GBC games on it so I can play them with the native GBC bridge. Now, the laptop is broken and the screen gives me a headache, but it works at least. Writing GBA games on the flash card with alternate programs works wonderfully so I'm not too upset.

So I go to set up my GBC games and I realize I can't find them. I do a global search on my machine and, BZZZ, gone.

Please please, a moment of silence. Too bad I don't have the time to redownload everything soon. Maybe in a few weeks.
