Oddly enough, I recently changed my avatar to Ultimate Warrior about a week ago.... I heard about it a few hours after the news came. I truly have never felt so shocked and saddened for any celebrity in a long time. Ultimate Warrior was a marvelous character that inspired me as an individual. It has come out of his past bigoted comments, etc. -- however, (not trying to give it a free pass here) I've always known about Warrior (he legally changed his name to that) and all the crap he's said in the past few years, but the character to me and what it represented was filled with just so much positive energy that I tended to look past his political stances. I look for the good in all people and what I saw this weekend and on Monday was a guy who genuinely seemed like a changed man, who forgave a lot of people, including Vince McMahon who was his arch nemesis for 18 years. To see him inducted into the hall of the fame, walk in with his 2 beautiful daughters, and to now know they don't have a father, and the fans don't have an Ultimate Warrior, really sucks to witness -- even if it were only on television. R.I.P.

Do you watch Total Divas? Summer Rae comes off as a bit of an ass ...

The match itself sucked. Taker looked old as hell.... did you know Sting is 10 years older than Taker? Kinda sad how beat up Taker is. Then again, I feel like he brought this upon himself. He should have trained harder for the only match he does a year now. Anyway, did you wake up when you heard Taker didn't win?

Wait for what? MAME? BTW, you got a broken picture in your siggy

It's so wonderful to see you back here, Agozer! To be honest, I have in many ways decided to look forward and not back to many of our long time members that have not been seen here in a long time. The 1emulation heart is still beating -- slower than usual, but still kicking. I am very much the same as you. The Internet has become smarter and more of a clusterfuck of things that manipulate us daily to grab our attentions (and many quite successfully). Old sites like us tend to go missing in the fray, but not forgotten. I hope you stay longer this time! Congrats on the new job. And I don't own a PS4. I'm opting out of the next gen consoles this time around, as there are still too many great games to play on the 360 and PS3.

Watched all of the Hall of Fame 2014 ceremony last night.... my 2 cents on the speeches: Lita = Very boring, lacked structure, and honestly didn't really care all that much about it Jake Roberts = Best speech of the night. Marvelous introduction by DDP (Jerry Lawler accidentally called him DDT ) Mr. T = 2nd best speech of the night. He may have said "mother" over 75 times, but it was hilarious, and very fun to watch. I thought it was a really stupid call to have Kane come out of nowhere to tell him to end the speech. Does WWE not have people in the front row to motion to the inductees that they have 5 minutes remaining, 30 seconds, etc.? It made WWE look like the jackasses with Mr. T leaving with "Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry". Not to mention, the jokes said later about Mr. T was uncalled for and again made WWE look like the bullies. SMH. Razor Ramon = Too short of a speech. He looked like he just came back from a Florida beach tanning for several hours. Was really disappointed in this one. Carlos Calon = Carlito's WWE jabs were hilarious and great. It made the Carlon segment... listening to Carlos speak in Spanish for 5 minutes was idiotic at best. Ultimate Warrior = 3rd best speech of the night. Great start, but rambling end. It's as if he realized he had some extra time to get some more stuff off his chest, but just sounded scatter brained. I won't lie though and it was wonderful to see him amongst the WWE's greatest once again.

BTW, fun fact, but in the last 12 years we've had 3 IRC channels (#1emu @ EFNET, #1emulation @ EFNET, #1emu @ GameSurge), Kaillera server for MAME, FBA, PJ64 network play, GGPO server for FBA network play, Direct Connect hubs, Teamspeak server, Shoutcast/Icecast servers for 1Emulation Radio, and a bunch more I can't even remember

Hey hey! The sexy beast is back baby!! How you been Mr. Agozer?

I don't mind. Looks great!!

So my money is on Daniel Bryan to close out the show as new WWE champion! Word on the street is that there are rumors circulating that perhaps CM Punk might even make an appearance. Stone Cold has already been confirmed. This is also a super amazing class of Hall of Famers for 2014 that I'm probably more excited to see the ceremony than Wrestlemania! Warrior, Ramon, Snake, Lita, and more. It's gonna be a wild ride and this time we actually can see the full thing on the network! So who do you guys think is gonna win the main event? I'm just hoping it's not Triple H.

I broadcast on the channel twitch.tv/bambiemu I only use emulators like snes9x or mame. If you guys can decide on a good night I'll start up the feed and see how it goes! Hmmm... how many viewers/views do you normally get broadcasting emulators?

Please don't tell me you're still on Windows 2000.... it's time to move on my friend!!!

So I've been reading some Batman comics. I never really read any comics growing up, so all of this is very new to me. Stemmed from curiosity and seeing all the Batman movies, I wanted to check out the comics. I started off with "Batman - The Killing Joke".... which was truly an impressively written comic. It was very thought provoking and even shocking for its graphic content. The ending leaves you with a wonderful cliffhanger as to how Batman deals with the Joker. I then read "Batman - Vengeance of Bane" parts I and II, but both left you wanting more, and seemed totally incomplete. I then decided to just read a single issue "Batman Beyond" comic from this year and was annoyed that there seemed to be no ending and simply appeared to be just nonsensical dialogue between Bruce Wayne and Barbara Gordon. Stupid shit, really. I'm now reading "Batman - Knightfall: Volume 1", which is a collection of comics that tries to complete the story of Bane breaking Batman's back, and also includes "Vengeance of Bane", which I mentioned above. I'm about a 150 pages through of 600 and it's been entertaining, but not thought provoking in any way since reading "The Killing Joke". What gives? Are most comics like an old Jackie Chan movie? Lots of kicks and punches, but meaningless dialogue? I hope to at least have a conclusion with the Bane and Batman story this time. FYI - Bane in the comics is nothing like Bane in the "The Dark Knight Rises" film. Someone help this newbie out.... please

So there's this cute blonde at my work place that I've been wanting to date for a while, but have no idea how to pop the question. I'm aware she's single and that she's dating guys, but that's about it. I know this sounds odd, but I am a bit hesitant to ask. What if it ends badly? What if it ends well? What if she refuses to be intimate, but only wants to be friends... then what? Awkwardness now at the workplace? I'm not even sure how to start it. What do I say to entice her to meet up outside of work? Coffee, Beer, Lunch? Any of you guys have experience with this?

Saudi = Arabic? Soviet = Russian?

I've never even heard of Twitch.tv. I just briefly checked it out --- live video streaming of game play with chat rooms. How would this fit with showing emulators, etc.? Are we showing games that people are playing via these emulators? Broadcasting a network play using kaillera or something? I'm lost. Help me out

What are the four? My guess is you know French as well.

So I haven't watched porn for about a month now and I got to say it feels good. My mind is more clear and relaxed. I just hope I can keep this up (or down ). The problem with porn is simple --- some guys won't admit it, but it's human chemistry, and that over the years you need to get more and more hardcore just to get off. The human brain gets tired easily (i.e. taking the same pill over 10 years may not work anymore without increasing the dosage). And what I've also always felt is that porn also pushes us away from actually going after the women we want because the fantasy is somewhat and continuously fulfilled. Anyway, I normally would watch porn a few times every 2-3 weeks. I could also watch porn (flipping through a ton of videos) for about 3 hours straight before calling it quits. How about you guys?

I started the 1Emulation YouTube Channel back in 2006. Currently our stats are very abysmal -- 59 subscribers and 200,000 views. I haven't uploaded a video in years (we have 25 videos in total). Most of the videos I uploaded are from my reviews of gaming products at the time, as well as emulator footage of when Naomi was emulated. What new videos do you guys suggest I upload? Should we continue using it? Here's the link to it: https://www.youtube.com/user/1Emulation/videos BTW, make sure to SUBSCRIBE if you haven't already! It would be nice to hit past 59 subscribers.... Anyway, would love your guys feedback on this!!

I've been currently studying French and it's been a rather slow process. There aren't many French speakers around me, but I am slowly trudging through with Rosetta Stone and some audio programs. Do you guys speak any other languages besides English? I got into the French language after becoming a big fan of their music, arts, and style. They really seem like the originators of what we consider to be the front page of a Vogue magazine cover. Even watching their music videos from 30 years ago has had me saying that they were way ahead of their time. Their idea of romance and sexuality as well seems much more open and liberal as well.

Woah, this thread is a great idea! I'll have to watch the astronomy video tomorrow, but check this out: Been seeing this all over the net today. Very heart warming video considering yesterday was April 1st (anybody remember when we called the place 1PornNation?)...

Great review! If you could kindly revise your review to follow our 1Emu Reviews forum: http://www.1emulation.com/forums/forum/36-1emulationcom-reviews-reviews/ ... this would indeed be the first 2014 video game review! So pretty much just follow the pinned threads and add some photos and I'll move this thread there.

Welcome to the family! Oh, very cool. I've definitely noticed a surge in vapes. Curious, how is that going for you (business wise)? I've heard of Halo Cigs, Vape4Life, Phantom Smoke, White Cloud, etc. There are definitely a lot. Do you sell them with nicotine as well? I personally don't use them, but I know many that do.
