I always like the description for the Super Mario 64 0 Star TAS.

At first there were 70 stars because Bowser demanded it. Then there were 16 stars because MIPS the rabbit demanded it. Then there was 1 star because Bowser's Sub demanded it. Now there are none because the viewers are impatient and demanded the game be quicker.

My Wii Nyco Power Supply makes a great night light for the bedroom, almost too bright. I flpped the charger on its side and faced against the wall to "dim" the blue light.

Anyone know what the going rate is for the repro Mother GBA games? Seen some copies of Mother 1+2 and Mother 3 floating around on Amazon and I'm tempted to pick them up. Looks like $20 is the going rate, but I don't delve in to the repro/bootleg market so I'm not sure if that's a solid deal or not.

So, I found out that running PSX stuff doesn't work so hot in TN-V. Apparently I need to do a bit more hoop-jumping and install TN-X, which requires one of a few exploit games (Tekken 2, XS Moto, or another that I can't remember) to get working. Lower priority, though, since I've got tons of options for playing PSX games on the big screen. Can't say that about PSP.

Speaking of which, I sunk some time into some other games I installed, like Dracula X, Lunar, Mega Man Powered Up, and Persona 2: Innocent Sin. All of them looked pretty nice on the big screen. I also unlocked Rondo and SotN, and those seem to play fine, even if they're not quite as high-fidelity as running them native.

Oh, and I miss the old voice acting in SotN. I think the newer stuff is... eh. I'm so used to the older stuff that I much prefer it now. (I especially prefer Alucard's voice actor in the original.)

Man! I have had some amazing finds over the years from pawn shops finding Panzer Dragoon Saga, CIB Earthbound and so on, but some people just get extremely lucky. I'm excited and happy for that guy's find but now the question is do you keep the quote holy grail or do you sell it off to make some money. For me as a collector I would want to keep it, but if I was able to get a sizable stack of money for it I think common sense would win over and I would sell it.

Been thinking about replacing all the mismatched crap shelves in my room with some wall-mounted shelves with brackets. Make everything nice and uniform.

It wouldn't be expensive but there are still some disadvantages. It's time-consuming and I'd have to move tons of shit around. It would also leave bunches of holes in the wall and I'd have to spackle/paint before moving, but I suppose the room is due for that anyway. I'll think about it.

if you make your game room look really nice and neat, you will enjoy the time you spend in it a lot more.

Exactly. Right now it's chaos. And chaos = stress.
