I went 3-1, but that 1 was a come from behind victory for the opposition, which hurt even worse...
I only had 1 nomination make it into these polls. Although except for BG I also went 3-1. But at least I'm happy with Ys 1.

It's 2am, and I'm eating a Mama Celeste Pizza and some store-bought fries. I'm pretty sure I'm going to cry myself to sleep tonight.. :lol:

I ended up going 3-1 myself. Ikaruga was the only one I voted for which lost.

Kinda sucky, I really can't afford to pay £40-50 for Dodonpachi. Plus the extra for a freeloader/action replay cart.

Reminds me of the old joke:

Guy places groceries on conveyer belt.

Cashier: Frozen Pizza, single serving of fries, and a tv guide. You're single right?

Guy: How'd you guess?

Cashier: Because you're fucking ugly.

edit* I ate a frozen pizza late last night while watching season 4 of TMNT. There's something endearing about those cheap pizzas while watching cartoons with only the light from the television. Of course, growing up, I had Chicago deep dish pizza while watching an 13" television and now I have cheap pizza while watching a 46" television.

I think I'd trade the tv for better pizza.

I went 1-3, though I didn't really care about either Ikaruga or Dodonpachi. But the one I had win is the one I wanted most.

speaking of -- nobody answered my question about figuring out if DDP can be played on DC either via Bleem! or MAME? Any ideas guys? I actually have DDP on my PSP (thanks dsheinem!) but I'd love to give it a go using this amazing Agetec stick.
