Well the two series, Ninja Gaiden and Shinobi, seem to be related anyway. In one of the cutscenes in the first Ninja Gaiden Shinobi is mentioned, it could very well be that very same Shinobi.

On another note, folks, raise your hands those who played and loved all those Lucas Games, the Monkey Island series (well mainly the first 2, since the creator of the saga was only involved in those), Maniac Mansion, Zak Mc Kracken and the Alien Mindbenders (!!!!)...

I should personally hang myself out of pure shame, because I finished all of these games looking up solutions off the web. Like, I didn't use the solutions just to finish the games, I used em to play through them, mostly (well of course I could figure out the easiest parts by myself). Yes I know I'm an idiot.

Well nowadays I'd never do that, I'm a bit wiser. That was me a few years ago...

To compensate, for those of you who haven't heard it yet, here's the theme from Zac Mc Kracken, as it was composed by Matthew Alan Kane, in a tape recording prior to the first (C64) port of the song:

http://lamaweb.com/zak/

I see, earlier in this page, your Metroids and Zeldas, and I raise a Ninja Gaiden. Oy, this game is one tough son-of-a-bitch!!

graphics, music, cutscenes, this game has it all

I've recently managed to get as far as, I think, stage 3-2. Yes Frink, emulation FTW, but real consoles kick ass too. I regret never having an actual nintendo console. The only things I have, are an Atari 2600 (which kicks ass, but I've only got 2 cartridges, Pole Position and Defender!), and a cheap Nes-clone bought in 1996, one of those things that has 17 built-in pirated games, and says "500.000 games" on the box! It sort of looks like an Snes, even the controller, but it really is a Nes-clone. This thing is fun, too, but I've got to rewire the controller, since I busted it up bad. Or I think I'll just try to find a regular Nes controller, since it should work, and I think they should be pretty cheap on Ebay these days...

Lately a good friend of mine lent me his Snes because he wanted me to see what was wrong with it, since it didn't seem to work. I cleaned the contacts inside the controller, tuned to the right channel, and played some of his cartridges. Man, the Snes is some fun!!!!

Other than that I've got literally Gigabytes of emulators and games, you name it, C64, Amiga, Nes, Snes, N64, DS, Ps1...

oh and some Dos games too. It took me 10 years to beat Prince of Persia! (not literally, 10 years passed since the first time I played it and the time I sat down and beat it, I think it was, like, a couple of years ago)

my own creation. now that I think of it, I should've stamped a watermark on this...

EDITED because I'm an idiot and I took too long to reply and couldn't see C3PX's post

Wi not trei a holiday in Sweeden this yer ?

See the loveli lakes

The wonderful telephone system

And mani interesting furry animals

Including the majestic moose

A moose once bit my sister...

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: "The Hot Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Molars of Horst Nordfink"...

Mynd you, moose bites Kan be pretti nasti...

Conrad Poohs and his Dancing Teeth!!

....so I'll post it here. I was wondering if anyone here had already heard this:

Life of Brian.

*SMACK!!!!*

owwwwwww....

sorry, I hit my forehead with my palm so hard I was seeing stars for a moment. Why, of course!!! Just like you, Frink, and "South Park, bigger longer and uncut", I have not seen "Life of Brian" in ages! No wonder I couldn't recall it...

and now, for something completely different:

" The Flintstones' " version of Jar Jar Binks,

A film that sill makes me laugh after more then 20 viewings. And, for me it's the most clever and surprise inclusion of an alien in a film. 

Agreed!

The first time I heard that South Park quote, I fell in love with it instantly.

(I can already hear cries of "Misogynist!!! Burn him!!!!!")

Man do I feel old.  I have the first 3 seasons of South Park on DVD, but sort of lost interest and stopped watching a long time ago.  Which one was the South Park quote?

it's from the movie, "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut"

Mr. Garrison: "Well, your moms are just upset. Theyr'e probably all on their periods or something." Gregory: "Mr. Garrison, Wendy and I think that was a sexist statement." Mr. Garrison: "Well, I'm sorry, Wendy. But I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die."

here's a soundbite: http://www.entertonement.com/clips/fgvrwpkssb--Bleeds-for-five-days-and-doesn%27t-dieTrey-Parker-South-Park-Bigger-Longer-Uncut-Mr-Garrison-Gregory-

I "discovered" them just recently, and can't get enough of the series. I think it's very clever. Gotta hand it to the creators for having a website with all the episodes, with no regional bullshit. Hulu can suck my big fat hairy sicilian ass!

Anyway, I've never seen the movie yet.

And I have yet to see all of the "Alien" movies, and "Close Encounters". Saw E.T. but didn't fell in love with it. Maybe it was because of the special edition?

But I will bite my tongue dozens of times before uttering it in the presence of even a single woman, or I would goddamn be lynched on the spot!

TUC with bacon. I tasted them once on a scout trip, but I was never able to find them again in any store. Ohhhhhhh they were so tasty, finally I had found a cracker that also tasted like bacon!

Do they still produce/sell them? Surely there must be some around :(

I reply to myself. They still produce them, thank heavens!

My sister, that otherwise behaves exactly like Lucy Van Pelt, surprised me with a package of these wonderful crackers.

I was so happy I did the Snoopy Dance!!

.........Yes, I've been reading lots of Peanuts, lately. Why do you ask?

Love "2001". (wow Barbar Jinkx, was that Douglas Rain or a really good impersonator?)

Can't stand Tarantino. Just can't understand his appeal.

Hated, hated, hated "It's a wonderful life". Heard so much about it before seeing it, finally watched it, and mentally puked. I think it's overrated (Imdb says 8.7/10), and the story and the characters... please. So, if George had never been born, life wouldn't have been that different for everybody else, and Mary (oh gosh!) would have never gotten married and took the job as a bespectacled librarian!!! What a scandal !!

Bullshit, George, you're not a "lucky" guy, you're an idiot. All of the times you could've gone and chose to travel and lived your life and your dreams outside that stupid little town, you always chose to stay and "help" others, or should I say let them live off of you? I'm sorry, but you're an idiot, George Bailey, you're not an altruist, you're a doormat!

There's not even a payoff for the Mr. Potter character. When I saw it, I was like "WTF movie, aren't you even gonna give me the pleasure to see the "evil" Mr. Potter get punishment?"

Fuck you, fuck you very much, "It's a wonderful life".

most of these comments on Imdb say it better than me

Yes...my master...

If the rebels could have gotten close enough, that snooze button would really have come in handy ;-)

Hey, wait a minute...

That's not a watch!  Leonardo, you have 24 hours to convince me how your post relates to digital WATCHES, else you will land in the HALL OF SHAME!!!

Good luck...

D'oh! I just realized that in my language we commonly use the same word for both clock and watch, so I got the two mixed up in my mind.

(we just usually say "orologio", for both clock="orologio" and wrist watch="orologio da polso")

I just googled "darth vader digital watch", and that pic came up, I liked it, but these two also came up, should've stuck with one of these, I guess:

they're pretty, aren't they?

Don't be too proud of this probational terror you've constructed.

The ability to send someone into probation is insignificant next to the

powah of the Clock!

This thread is now about.... digital watches !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(are those enough exclamation points, Frink?)

This thread is now about...... Chocolate!!

Ric, your picture is just.... mhwahahhaahhaaaaaah

do I need to explain this one?

Please do, otherwise it's PROBATION time.

okey dokey. And here I thought that a yellow person like you should know of such things.

But maybe you're doing it just for the sake of rules.

Anyway, Dan Castellaneta, Homer Simpson's voice actor, first based the voice of Homer on a loose Walter Matthau impression. He said that the first drawings of the character reminded him of the actor, particularly the mouth. As the show went on, the voice became tiring to do and so he changed it to the current "chin-to-chest" voice that we all know, approximately during the 2nd season.

Now may I have my "simpsons nerd" badge?
