If you want gore, go for Peter Jackson's "Brain Dead" (aka "Dead Alive").

If you want the suspense and psychological horror, go for "Psycho" (1960).

If want to go campy AND classic, go for the old Hammer movies.

Avoid crappy teenage-killing horror films LIKE THE PLAGUE!

If you want to go for first person shooters, you can't go wrong with Half Life or Half Life 2. They are also a bit "spooky" in their own way, specially the second one.

I had one of these from the original Batman (1989). Not sure where it is, I think I might have lost it.

"When I'm done with you, you'll have you use your dick as a pencil!"
"... what do you mean?!"
".... I don't know..."
"El Guapo, I think he meant that..."
"Silence!"

A question: I have a lot of NES and SNES games. If I want to play them on the revolution, I'd have to pay the same a person who didn't own the games would? Isn't that unfair? And isn't that charging twice over the same product?

I'll send you a PM.

That's really bizarre, his devotion to it...

I've seen your PM but I was not able to reply it, so please send me an email at (my login name) at yahoo dot com dot br.

He didn't change it to just "McCartney". He changed from "Lennon/McCartney" to "McCartney/Lennon". And yes, I agree than Paul does act like a jerk sometimes, but he lives from that musician status he has, so...

I have seen an original gramophone with that "shell" thing instead of an electric amplifier, running those fast rotation discs (70rpm? I don't remember, but I now it's way faster than the regular 33rpm), playing a record from the 30s or something. My dad owns a lot of old records, some of them from the late 40s (all in the "standart" vinyl 33rpm format). While we don't have a record player any longer, my grandmother does, and when I'm at her house I try it out. Those LP players are still being manufactured and sold at some places. I've seen one that is in the shape of an old 1930s radio, but with a CD - MP3 player built in, two tape decks, radio, and... on the top, the long play player.

Anyway, is says "President Palpatine", "A man ruling with a strong hand", "A man who can stop corruption", "[Voting list] No. 66" and the last is a joke from the actual party: "League of United Galaxy". Imperial seal in national colors.

I did find it funny, and I got the "66" joke, I was just wondering what was written... Thanks!

Has he any portuguese or brazillian roots or descendence? If not, it's quite remarkable that he learned it. It's the second person I've ever heard who decided to learn that language... If he wants, I can send this or some other manga as well, or anything else he might like to read, like local magazines.

That's because the S sounds like a Z in portuguese, unless there are two S. So "Brasil" in portuguese sounds like "Brazil", but with a more open "AH" sound. To keep consistence, the name is spelled with a Z in some countries. In japanese, it's BURAJIRU.

Uh... suggestion to Jay, if he's reading this. I'm sure it's too late now, but we could have a unicode database for the forum, so we could post stuff in japanese or arabic or other languages characters.

There's a GREAT drum solo by Ringo at the end of an unnused take from Strawberry Fields Forever, with John in the back saying "craaanberry sauce" (no, not the one heard on the song).

Men should say "Obrigado", women "Obrigada". The O is sometimes ommited when speaking fast, when it has the meaning of "thank you".

While I agree that some illnesses are caused by emotional imbalances, I don't think it's wise to abandon modern medicine and go all the way to alternative. Perhaps doing stuff like chinese acunputure could be good, while keeping the normal treatment. Also, threapy might also help - that's something I'd recomend to everyone, regardless of how you feel right now.

Nintendo has announced the small USB device that will allow any computer with internet access to become a wi-fi device for the Nintendo DS - handy for those who dosen't have a real wi-fi device itself, and for those who own several computers. You could bring one of those to your friend's home and play there, for example. And it needs no configuration whatsoever.

Unless I'm mistaken, this is the first PC device made by Nintendo!

So for those who own a Nintendo DS, expect a challenge real soon!

Also, I've seen some pics from an upcoming basketball game for the Nintendo DS, "Mario Basketball 3 on 3"... You control the ball by tapping on the touch screen, to bounce the ball, throw it, pass it... Very fun. Should be as fun as Mario Tennis.

Eh? What? But the original author did it on the right to left - and that's the way manga should be read.
