If anyone is like me and is interested Sony is finally making an everquest 1 server starting from the beginning. Only thing i'm worries about is it's a progression server. No matter what they do I give the elite guilds 4-6 months to go through all the raid material and kill quarm. =/ I really hope the add some kinda time limit for when expansions can be unlocks or this server will be pointless rather quickly.

Not sure if any of you have checked this out, but ADV films is having a sale until the 18th. It's actually a decent sale with alot of their old stuff going farely cheap by R1 standards. The newer titles aren't as "on sale" as the rest of the stuff, though it is discounted a little bit.

I think it's okay to post this here, it won't drive business away from this site, because ADV doesn't sell anything import-anime sells.

I would love to see members from this forum all participate in this old school themed project.

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

My Dreamcast has decided to die on me!!!

well after Years of trusty gameplay and the video chip has decided to shot out on me, probably from a broken heart as i got an Xbox recently (and modded it and installed xbox Media Centre...Uber Sweet coz now i can play all my divx,rm,mkv,ogm etc on my TV)

anyway i hadnt played my DC in ages since moving house (ive just recently moved house a couple of months ago) and so decide i could play some arcade action hence got out my DC and when i turn it on the screen image is all fuzzy and degraded so i fiddle around with the TVout port to see if it was a loose connection then bam ...lost all sound and image!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

thinking it was not a serious problem i thought maybe the lead messed up coz the fan and graphic chip etc all seem to be working fine and my VMU's were displaying game stats etc so i try switching my RGB scart for a normal lead but the same problem...

then i research the net to find to my Horror that the DC has a common problem along with the Reset one (i had that on one of my prior Dc but got it exchanged back when i had the warranty) Basically if you fiddle with the Tv Out lead it can short the video chip ...but the rest of the DC along with all the other chips etc run fine AHHHHHHH!!!!!
so i read how to sort out the DC reset problem (not that i needed to know that one) but never found how to fix this one...spares for DC are hard to get so i need a buy another console...but to no avail coz all the shops i have dont have any in stock :'( and i dont trust ebay sellers coz there are soo many buggy DC's out (damn SEGA made soo many buggy DC consoles...grrr)

AHHH!!! i loved my DC and have gizzilions of games for it...it was my Fav Console (and i own loads of consoles...all the way back to NES )

Finally found a great place for comic book information. Never even thought about it before. Wikipedia.com is great. Now the only thing I really would like to find is a list for reading series in what order. I have like 1800+ of xmen and spiderman comics on disc I want to read and it would be great to know what order to read everything in. =/

I'm spending way too much on comics lol. Just spend $40 on some more backissues of ironman and $80 subscribing to cable/deadpool, amazing spiderman, sensational spiderman and uncanny xmen since our comic shops never get enough in, if they get any in at all. Tired of paying tons on ebay. Just bought amazing spidermans 529 and 530 for like $8. =/ Oddly our shop seems to get a bajillion friendly neighborhood spiderman in for whatever reason lol.

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary, Sunday, 12/18/05.



Herewith at this happy time of year, a few confessions from my beating heart: I have no freaking clue who Nick and Jessica are. I see them on the cover of People and Us constantly when I am buying my dog biscuits and kitty litter. I often ask the checkers at the grocery stores. They never know who Nick and Jessica are either. Who are they? Will it change my life if I know who they are and why they have broken up? Why are they so important?



I don't know who Lindsay Lohan is either, and I do not care at all about Tom Cruise's wife.



Am I going to be called before a Senate committee and asked if I am a subversive? Maybe, but I just have no clue who Nick and Jessica are.



If this is what it means to be no longer young. It's not so bad.



Next confession: I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don' t feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.



It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a creche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.



I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution, and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.



Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship Nick and Jessica and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him?



I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too.



But there are a lot of us who are wondering where Nick and Jessica came from and where the America we knew went to.



In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.



Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this Happen?"
(regarding Katrina)



Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get o ut of our government and to get out of our lives.



And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"



In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.



Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school . the Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.



Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.



Now we're asking ourselves why our children h ave no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.



Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."



Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.



Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.



Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.



Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.



Are you laughing?



Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.



Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.



Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.

Anyone know what's going on with the caption contest? Zagatto said it would take a few days to set up voting . . . is that still happening?

I just noticed Andromeda 18's sig and was reminded that I wanted to post about this anime.

I've only seen up through eps 3, courtesy of Shinsen Subs. What an awesome kick ass anime this is. I guess the only thing you can slightly compare it to is GITS: SAC. However, it seems to be darker and there's quite a bit more violence. The whole concept is very interesting and these first few eps already have me drawn in and hooked.

Has anyone else been watching and what do you think??

Later!!!

so...anyone use netflix? when they first came out i was rather dissapointed with their anime section but now they have so much! i really recommend it for anyone who can get it, not sure if it's around the world, but i'm sure it's throughout the us. i get 4 dvds at my house at a time, i send it back when i'm done and in about 3 days i get another one on my queue all for 20 bucks a month. and if you have a dvd burner, kudos.
