ticked: Got one of those missed delivery slips. Looks to be a controller I ordered. I was obviously home all day, as was everyone else, so the fact that the postman didn't bother knocking or anything at least so I could sign for it is really annoying.
ugh, I hate having to pick this shit up at the post office.

It could be worse. He could have chucked it onto your lawn.AppleQueso wrote:ticked: Got one of those missed delivery slips. Looks to be a controller I ordered.

I'm pretty sure if they'd just tossed my saturn controller on the lawn the controller probably would've been fine. At least I wouldn't have to waste any time.

True. But, if it had been the guy in the video he probably would have drop-kicked it.AppleQueso wrote:Well it's fedex, what do you expect?Michi wrote:It could be worse.

Nothing really pissed me off today 
Smile: dunpeal2064 explained scoring in espgaluda to me, and my best score went up almost 30%

Need FreeMCboot? I'll install it on your PS2 Memory Card for free if you cover postage both ways.
Consoles: I have too much stuff
Arcade: No seriously, I have too much stuff. Someone grab a shovel and dig me out of my basement.
Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
Someone should make a reference for the scoring systems and syntax. Or point me in the direction of an existing one.

for shmups? here: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1896
I don't know why I had never gone there for scoring in espgaluda, it's where I learned strategy/scoring for all my other favorite shmups. This is going to keep me busy for a while.

I wanted something more generalized, but I guess some of the more intricate ones can't really be reduced.

My town (Esko, MN) is inaccessible, roads washed out, everything is flooded.
The town I work in (Duluth, MN) is just as bad particularly the hospital I work in, feet, not inches, of water throughout.
So far, save a few zoo animals (our zoo flooded, there are literally wild animals loose...or dead, around town) everyone seems relatively safe. A lot of cars fell into roads as they just buckled.
An 8yo boy fell through a road and into a sewer drain, and the water was running through the drain at an estimated 25 miles an hour, he popped up at a different drain over a mile away - and is "ok".
Crazy day.

Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
