About Me
I'm a nice guy, just weird. You get used to it after a few doses.
A quick note, if you don't listen to RetroforceGo!, the best podcast ever (yard sale), then why are you here? Not here, reading my profile-thingy, here on this Earth. Go kill yourself Hippie.
Anyways...
I'm a lover of retro games, and most often I find myself trapped in my past, replaying old classics like it's nobody's business. I can't count the number of times I've beaten my SNES collection over and over again. And don't even ask me about Star Ocean: The Second Story or Lufia II. I've spent over 400 hours on each of them (stupid Ancient Cave). I love people and friends, so if you want to talk or w/e then add me to your friends!
Random other ways to contact me:
Brawl - coming soon
Xbox Live - coming soon
AIM - ChosJacus
Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=675273906
Myspace - blows.
On another random note, I try to update blogs I have with any free web stuff I find to educate all possible.
Random freebies:
IWBTG - I Wanna Be The Guy - http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/
I advertise this game every chance I get. If you've ever played a platformer, then you need to play this. The best advice for this game? If it looks safe, it's not. Also, don't have anything breakable within your immediate reach because it will be destroyed by your rage within 5 minutes of playing.
Hulu - http://www.hulu.com/
Its got full episodes of a lot of popular tv shows that you watch right in your browser. A friend told me that it's run by NBC but who cares lol.
Pandora - http://www.pandora.com/
A music site where you type in a band/song and it creates a radio station for you with similar types of music. It proves useful if you're tired of listening to the same music over and over again and want to discover some new bands. A nice touch is that it saves the "stations" that you create. If you don't like the site, use OinkPlus, another program that does basically the same thing but plugs into your music player instead of staying in your browser.
GameGum - http://www.gamegum.com/
A billion free flash games. You'll never be bored at work again.
Freeware Database - http://freeware.remakes.org/
Another billion free games, most of these are user created and pretty awesome. It's sort of like the poor man's indie homeland.
South Park Studios - www.southparkstudios.com
Full, free, (mostly) uncensored episodes of South Park. It's updated regularly with new content.

After reading Haxan's excellent blog on Project AM2R (a remake of Metroid II), I decided to blog about a most excellent redesign of Super Metroid done by Drewseph, Kejardon, MathOnNapkins, Jathys, and others called........Super Metroid Redesign.
I'm not sure how to say it, but this game is freakin awesome! Everything of the Super Metroid you know and love is here, just tweaked a little. The story and atmosphere have stayed the same (basically), but the physics engine is different, and there are brand new items and abilities to collect and power up. Zebes itself is larger than the original as well and completely redone with even more puzzles and enemies. I won't spoil much here because you should play it for yourself. One thing to note, don't get discouraged playing through the first few times. Samus is super weak in the beginning, but she powers up quickly. For help finding and running the game, head to http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/131/. And of course, we can't forget the money shots:

It's all I want and more.
Also, BB Code Is your friend...embrace it.
I'll have to give this a look. Is this good-good? Or just good in the sense that we'll accept anything that could give us another taste of Metroid with an even number of dimensions even if the quality is lacking?
Yeah, I'm working on that. I've been sick the past couple of days, and I didn't want to be near the cool kids using BB Code. I'll remember next time though.
@ Scary Womanizing Pig Mask:
The biggest change is the way Samus moves. She's a bit faster, her jump arc is a little different, and when you're using the speed booster (don't remember if it has a new name or not), there's all kinds of crazy things you can do with it. Also a lot of her new items and abilities are crazy lol.
@ Haxan:
If you like a difficulty level that slaps you around (without even the courtesy of a reacharound) for the first hour or so, then yeah, it's good-good. All of the areas of the game are well polished and they mesh with the terrain and layouts.
Cool. I'll give to a download then.
