Zombies.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I really need to get a new Genesis AV cable, I can't stand not being able to play Streets of Rage much longer...

I take it back: Wipeout HD is way better than Pure, but Pure is just a really chill game that I can play for 5 minutes or so and get some gold medals. HD requires my full attention and dedication to get golds on Elite.

The lights in my room work in tangent with video games!

Probably no one remembers, but I posted not too long ago about my lights when I was playing Turok 2. I got up to THIS cutscene, which is all creepy with the creepy voices and whatnot. As soon as this cutscene started, the lights in my room where pulsing, like some one was playing with the dimmer switch... only I was alone!

Just now, I was playing Final Fantasy V. I put the controller down for a minute to check something on the computer. Then when I went back to the game, as soon as I moved I was sucked into a random battle. As soon as the animation happened when you get pulled into a battle, a light bulb blew out in my room. You know when a bulb blows out and you get that sorta blue flash? That's what happened, and it coincided perfectly with the game. It freaked me out, I didn't even realize what happened at first. It took me a few seconds to figure out the bulb blew (I have 4 bulbs in 2 ceiling fixtures, so the loss of light wasn't immediately noticeable) and that's where the flash came from. Because the screen kinda flashes when you get pulled into a battle, so it was just all crazy for a second LOL.

Not enough homogenizing chemicals, assuming this is meat-like-product jerky?

I'm vegetarian, so my jerky always has concentrated soy protein, though I never get the globules of fat on the outside.
