I thought I would never need to bring my PS1 down from the attic ever again but apparently Grandia only plays properly on a PS1 it crashes randomly on the PS2.
There are some issues with emulating it too apparently but yeah after all these years PS1 is in my room again and working perfectly :D

A Bears fan, a Packers fan and a Seahawks fan are climbing a mountain and arguing about who loves his team more. The Seahawks fan insists that he is the most loyal. "This is for the Seahawks!" He yells, and jumps off the side of the mountain. Not to be outdone, the Bears fan is next to profess his love for his team. He yells, "This is for the Bears!" And pushes the Packers fan off the mountain.

We brought her in the house and today my parents took her to the vet. There was a tumor around her heart. There was nothing they could do but put her down.

Goodbye Balto.

Smile- I don't want to right now.

That makes two of us. My dog had to be euthanized tonight. She more or less had the same symptoms; anything she ate, she vomited back up soon afterwards, so we took her into the hospital today, and found that she had cancer - a tumor and fluid in each lung. At least she went peacefully. Her name was Tipper [She was named that, because she was born with hip problems], an 11-year old Newfoundland. She will be missed.

No it isn't. I've never seen a Bears fans in good enough shape to climb a mountain.

Have you met any Bears fans? Bill Swerkski's Superfans don't count.

Many. Some of my best friends are Bears fans, despite their poor choice of NFL fandom.

I lived in Iowa for four years, have been to Chicago many many times, and have even been to the architectural abortion that is New Soldier Field. So yes, I have seen Bears fans. And while they may be good beer drinkers, they are not mountain climbers.

:(

For some reason this just made me remember when I was really little (maybe 3) and the neighbor's German Shepherd got into a really bad fight with another dog and lost badly. They loaded her into the back seat of the old Ford boat we had to go to the vet since it had such a big back seat for them to sit with her on the way and the car was pretty beat up already at that point so blood on the vinyl seat was less of a big deal. As I recall she didn't make it. At least you and Pixel got to send out your dogs peacefully.
