Super NES pretty well rocks.
There were a number of great games and I think the control system was just more intuitive than Genesis. I can’t think of any really great Dreamcast games off the top of my head. The Sonic franchise was hurt by 3D.

Crazy Taxi did get ported over to GameCube, though, if not other consoles.
I just played Crazy Taxi again on a whim last week. It is a pretty good arcade-style pick-up-and-play game.

Didn't Dreamcast have a beautifully rendered 360 degree environment game, featuring a dolphin?
I knew so many people that bought a Dreamcast, and seemed like that was all they played, then N64 and PS2 released and Dreamcast folded like a cheap suit. Didn’t a company put out a platform called Jaguar? First 64 bit platform, or something like that?

Wrong...
Who knows- at least Indiana and Arizona have their shit together
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Indiana
Since April 2006, Indiana has observed DST state-wide, with the only weirdness being that some outlier counties are on Central time while the rest of the state is on Eastern (which is not that weird and happens across the US). I went to college in Indiana when they were still non-DST, and it made things a hell of a lot easier in general, but when calling people in other time zones it was a pain in the ass. In general Indiana is a stupid place though, like how no one know the origin of the word “Hoosier” (see http://www.indiana.edu/~librcsd/internet/extra/hoosier.html etc.), yet every other Hoosier you meet will assert that they know for sure where it came from.
Anyway, no offense to anyone from Indiana. But I would never want to live there again.

Answers to today's lovely questions.
What do you want to accomplish career-wise before you die?
To be a respected voice who’s opinions are sought after in whatever it is I end up doing when I grow up.
Why can’t we get rid of daylight savings time?
A good question. I say we chuck out the whole Gregorian calendar while we’re at it.
What’s better? Classic Super Nintendo, Dreamcast, or Sega Genesis?
I’m biased toward Nintendo products since I was raised on them, but I must say the Dreamcast was mighty awesome, particularly the built in screens on the controllers. Loved NFL Blitz on that system.
Why in God’s name do the Olsen Twins look like Good Luck Trolls?!
Hahah…didn’t you see that episode of Full House where Stephanie found those fake gems intermixed with tufts of pink and green hair in the backyard? Sign of things to come…

I was a proud SNES owner. I loved the Genesis but never had one.
My SNES is now hooked up to the old TV in the guestroom along with my PlayStation 2 and VCR. It’s my retro room, I suppose.
I used to have a Dreamcast but stupidly sold it once I got a PS2 in college. I miss it a lot. The 2K football and basketball games were insanely fun.

Long story short:
We went to Lost Abbey ~6:30 Friday night for tasting and the acquisition of sweet sweet Red Poppy. At 8pm, when Lost Abbey closes to the public, the bartender stood up, informed everyone that a private birthday party was about to begin, and suggested that those who are offended by hardcore pornography should probably get ready to leave.

The early ones were great because they just ran BASIC programs that you could break out of and input your own programming.

Our first real home computer was a

I remember my Mom would give me a list of basic math problems and I’d crank them into Lotus 1-2-3 and get the answers when I was really little.
We also had this really basic football game that was just a bunch of X’s and O’s on the screen
I also remember going with my Dad to his office and he’d plug the T1100 into a giant docking station.

First PC my family ever owned was an Intel 486DX.
Hard a wonky hard drive you had to smack to get to spin up.
Now, the first PC I ever owned was an Intel Pentium II 400Mhz machine with Windows 98SE, 64MB RAM, and a 16MB AGP video card.

Our house was a veritable vintage computer museum when I was growing up
My Mom taught computer education classes in the early 1980s, so we had a Commodore 64 and two Vic-20s as school computers. I wasn’t old enough to really appreciate the C64 before we sold it – I spent the rest of my childhood lusting after a C64 – but I did get quite a bit of grim experience with the Vic-20s. Even by the standards of the time, they were doorstops. And god … waiting to load a program from cassette tape was just torture. It was criminal that the V20 and C64 looked so similar when they were completely diametrically opposed in the fun department. Can anybody else think of another example where two things look so similar yet they’re so completely divergent in terms of awesomeness? Michael Jordan and Harold Miner, perhaps?
Our personal computer was the very original IBM PC. Not the XT or AT – the PC. My folks splurged over time to get 640K of RAM and two 5.25 floppies. No hard drive, of course. The original games selection consisted of the usual type-in variety from magazines, Microsoft Decathlon (which consisted of hammering two keys sequentially to run), the original Microsoft Flight Simulator (which disabled collision when your view was of the map – meaning that you could taxi over water and through buildings as long as you were in map view), and, finally and fantastically, Sid Meier’s Pirates.
I also had a TI-99 as a kid. Parsec FTW.
We replaced the PC with a 386DX/33 with a 100MB hard drive – that transition was like emerging from the primordial slime into the Apollo space program. What? A sound card? Madness!

Oh, no.
Only since about 1990.
Back in the ‘50s, Mr. Disney actually requested that Annette wear a modest one-piece when she made the first Beach Party movie for AIP. As the years went on, Annette changed to a two-piece, but followed his advice and went for the ones that didn’t expose her belly button.

and what do I get? Mitch advocating that Garret Anderson would have been better a signing, apparently because he is younger and has a higher BA the last 4 years. There was then a long discussion about a hypothetical situation arising on opening day late in the game, when Jr should be pinch-hit for and whether Wak can/will do so…

Kenny Powers: “COCK ASS BALLS MISOGYNISTIC TITS I WAS A BALLPLAYER BITCH”

Season 2 was AMAZING, Season 3 was great, Season 4 started out good but then dropped off and they had trouble hitting their stride again cause of the writer’s strike. The finale to Season 4 was spectacular though.
I think Season 5 has been much better than 4 and has the potential to be better than 3, but a lot of people seem to disagree with me.

Has anyone played the MLB 2K9 demo yet?
I’m pretty pleased. It’s not going to be a Show-killer this year, but they definitely improved the game a lot. The frame rate is surprisingly fine, the presentation is awesome (Gary Thorne!), and the hitting is much improved. There’s still some wonkiness where the players look like robots who can’t decide where to walk next, but it’s minimal and doesn’t really detract from the game in my opinion.
Thoughts?

Fuck, why am I still working past midnight?
Also, having a crown put on is painful, and having to put another 8+ hours of work after probably doesn’t help.
To make this slightly relevant, I offer these links to the night (and early next morning) crowd. Anyone else have some good “make it yourself” items?
Make your own vanilla extract. (Awesome)
Make a ring light for your macro lens. I borrowed one from a friend, and it works better than my R1C1 did by far. Cost him 10$ to make.

I know the feeling.
Anyone ever commit themselves to a great idea only to end up blowing all of your time on it? I’ve FINALLY gotten my Tsurumi forum up and running, but holy hell it’s been a chore. At least my partner is doing the actual website.

I don't know why you're working.
You won’t be surprised that I do make my own vanilla extract, and it’s almost identical to your recipe there. Makes cookies taste better.

Cookies, please. For all of us.
