And charmingly snarky as usual! I haven't abandoned you completely, 1emu, I swear. I blame school.

I don't think DS emulation is in a really playable state, but I could be wrong. I do know there are translated versions of the original FF3 roms out there though.

There's a relatively well-known group called The Yes Men ( http://www.theyesmen.org/ ) that used to do this pretty regularly. Being a media arts professor, I'm sure this guy knew about them, and the trouble they've gotten into. Still, this kind of thing is amusing, and it has a point.

RomCenter or the "Good" tools will do this, I believe.

Yeah, the machine Solaris was on was a SPARC box, but the OS didn't seem TOO far from it's unix roots. I ended up trying to decide between Debian and FreeBSD. FreeBSD won by a coin toss, though I still have both sets of ISOs in case I decide to switch. Now I get to try and configure everything, starting with the *cue dramatic music* wireless NIC. It recognized it at least, I just have to figure out how to get it to play nice with my router. Thanks for the tips!

Work, the Girlfriend, hanging out with friends (which usually involves games, of the video or board/card variety). Anime, but I'm VERY picky about it, and there are only a handful of titles I like enough to own. Also home-study in a variety of computery topics, usually involving the web, hacking up games, or programming. I did judo for several years, but have been out of it for at least a year now, since I transferred schools. I'm looking to find someplace near my new school to continue practicing.

I believe it will be. I think it even has gamecube controller ports underneath the flap on the top.

I used to be assistant admin for a solaris server for an ISP, but it's been years since I played with anything even remotely unix-like. Well, I finally put together enough spare pc parts to build a little server to play around on, and I want to install some flavor of ?-nix on it to re-learn what I used to know (and learn the stuff I never knew). So now, I'm looking for a place to start. Primarily, I'm looking for learning resources and recommendations on which flavor of unix/linux/whatever to play with. The machine's primary role will be a webserver, LAN fileserver (other machines are WinXP), and general host to various internet and network services. I'm hearing a lot about unbuntu, but it sounds kind of "user-friendly" and I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. ;P Any suggestions?

Wow, this actually works! Sweet! Although I'm not sure the Virtual On controls maps have actually been "fixed".. It uses two sticks in the arcade, but the d-pad moves you around in the emulator? This is kind of cool, but it also means you can't jump or duck, as this was done by pulling the sticks away from or towards each other.

Don't forget half.com and amazon's used stuff. Don't know if amazon would even list DC anymore, but it's worth a shot.

I don't even have my DS yet and I'm hopeful about this one.

This is kind of a bump, but F.E.A.R. Combat is actually out now. http://www.joinfear.com/main and http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/9272/F.E.A.R.+Combat+1.07 Has anyone been playing FEAR multiplayer? I'm DLing it now to try it out tomorrow.

Depends on where you live I guess. I've lived too close to mexico all my life to consider latin-looking women exotic, but they're still really pretty. Dark haired, just-slightly-tan skinned girls are my favorite, wherever they're from.

Devil May Cry 3, special edition I decided to go back and beat some of the games I own but never played very much of.

Ok, there's a ton of hot girls there, but the little girl with the apron and the plate of fruit? That's just dirty.
