    Real Id.

    You'd be surprised at the amount of smaller bills that get attached to larger ones in order to assure them passing. Many of them are irrelevant to the larger bill, and are often tucked away in so much paperwork that most people would never know they even were there.

     

    As far as this national ID bill goes, it does irk me to a degree, mainly because i feel it can be misused to easily by the government. But all in all, I guess it would just be something else to stick in my wallet, and probably end up losing at sometime or another.

    It is a pretty good program, IMO. I've tried making a few games with the program, nothing overly complex though, just some simple platformers and such. It's alot easier than trying to program a game in C or something. :)

    Emulation magazine

    I decided to go ahead and make the 40 minute trip to pick up the magazine, luckily they still had it. 12 bucks for it though, yeesh! I'm not for sure what month it was published, but it's probably a month or two old.

     

    Checking out whats on the CD, here's a list of the emulators. Some I know have had updates since the magazine came out though.

    Project64

     

    Sinclair Spectrum:

    Emuz

    Spectaculator

    ZX32

     

    SNES:

    Sneese

    Snes9x

    ZSNES

     

    Others:

    Atari++

    Project Tempest (Jaguar)

    Handy (Atari Lynx)

    VisualBoy Advance

    Bliss(Intellivision)

    Neopocott (NGPC)

    RockNES

    FreezeSMS

    Cygne(Wonderswan)

     

    There are also articles about Chankast being worked on for the XBox, Turbo Outrun being playable in MAME, Fruit machines and PinMAME,

    and PS2 emulation. Also, there is a list of the top 100 games they say "you must play!" I'm sorry, but I don't see any reason to play Double Dragon on a Spectrum emulator, and it was ranked AHEAD of Metroid, F-Zero, DKC, and GoldenEye.

     

    Although I really didn't need the CD, it's a nice bonus, but to see a magazine dedicated to emulation, I figure it was worth the money, even if I already knew 99% of the stuff inside it, LOL.

    Emulation magazine

    I was at Barnes and Noble tonight and found a magazine devoted to emulation, called PC Action Emulate! It's put out by the same people who write Retro Gamer magazine. With it came a cd with 16 or so emulators, from Mame32 to a wonderswan emulator. I thumbed through it, and it spoke about how to use some of the included emulators, as well as other emulation topics. The current issue is #7, so I guess it's a pretty new publication. Has anyone else come across this magazine, or any previous issues?

    What is your favorite [ CastleVania ] game?

    Just to disagree with all of you, my vote goes to Aria of Sorrow for the GBA.  The whole soul collection thing was awesome.  As was all the cool abilities you could get.  In fact, I'm going to say that Circle of the Moon was at least AS good as Symphony of the Night, because the card thing was cool, too.

    The soul collecting aspect is very cool in AoS, and it adds greatly to the longevity of playing it - I'd probably rank it 3rd on my list.

    Driving

    My first several driving experiences were driving trucks around my parent's pasture, picking up hay bales. I was 13 at the time. That was all good, until i tried turning the truck around in the front yard, I was trying to turn, hoping I'd miss my dad's work van, and missed it, but mixed up the brake and the clutch pedal, and clipped a tree with the right front. I was so pissed, and then was even madder because my dad was laughing at me being mad. I can look back at it now and laugh, but I figured he was going to kill me for wrecking the truck

    AMD > Pentium

    I've always been an Intel user, but had a few friends who went with AMD prcessors recently, and gave them pretty good praise. If they keep improving on their current standards, I may give them a go when it comes time for a new computer.
