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.

If you can't tell from my profile, I'm big into Earthbound. I was trolling the Mother 3 translation site when one of the posts linked to a Starmen.net forum post about suggestions for Virtual Console games. Apparently, Nintendo has an ad in their latest issue of Nintendo Power that suggests if you want to see games on VC, then just send off an e-mail with your top 5 suggestions...
... Excuse me... THANK YOU WELCH'S, MERCIFUL GOD OF JAMS AND JELLIES!!! I KNEW YOU WOULD COME THROUGH!!! Seriously, what the hell took so long Nintendo? This should have been done from the moment the concept of VC took off. I understand that they might "eventually" get around to having their entire library online, but why not start things off right with what people want to see? If Nintendo follows through on this, then they will successfully have pulled themselves out of the online service hole I like to refer to as XBLA (nod to Topher and Chad of RetroforceGo! fame). They were going down a dark path of one or two shitty games a week from which there may have been no return. But now there is a light at the end... You can follow the links to read up on some good times, or you could just cut out that man that stands in the middle for some reason and go ahead and e-mail vcpoll@futureus.com and get your VC on.

Living the dream since March 16, 2006
2.Spider man Maximum Carnage! (snes or genesis doesn't matter)
3.NHL 94 (this is the BEST NHL game ever)
4.Aladdin (genesis version plz he uses a sword)
Only 4 I could think of after just waking up
2) Super Mario RPG
3) Battletoads in BattleManiacs
4) Secret of Mana
5)Phantasy Star 4
1) Earthbound
2) Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger- Because, don't tell anyone, but I never played it.
Mother 3- In English please, or even Engrish, I'm not picky.
Zoda's Revenge- StarTropics is already there, howsabout the followup?
Metroid 2- I never played it have wanted to since hearing about it.
I reckon I can send of a simple email to help make this a reality...
but i'll gladly take a wiiware version of windjammers with all the waggle my limp writs could handle.
2. Earthbound
3. Super Mario RPG
4. Secret of Mana
5. Earthbound (for NES, the original. read somewhere that Nintendo translated it to english back in the day, but never released it, so this would be easy for them to put out.)
2. Earthboud
3. Chrono Trigger
4. Earthboud Zero
5. Secret of Mana
Go Super Mario RPG!!!
Chrono Trigger
Fire Emblem

EVO: Search for Eden (I still lol @ ironic name)
Mario Paint
TMNT IV: Turtles In Time
Vectorman
2. Mother 1
3. Starfox
4. Kirby Superstar
5. Clockwork
There's no point in putting any Square RPGs on the list as Square holds the rights to them and has stated that they'd rather make remakes the release them on the VC so they can make more $.(Learned that from Retrofrocego! :D)
Earthbound
Fire Emblem
Turtles in Time (Actually any turtles game will do)
Killer Instinct
I know they have the rights (I love RetroforceGo!), but I just can't help myself. I must have those games! For the third time!
"WANTED!
What classic games do you want to see come to the Virtual Console? Send us up to five picks (only for systems currently represented on the VC) at vcpoll@futureus.com. We'll print the results in an upcoming issue. Note: This is for polling purposes only, and will in no way determine future VC releases."
2)Resident Evil 5
3)WoW
4)Custers Revenge
5)Duke Nukem Forever
I'm just glad to see that they're taking suggestions. :D
2- Deja Vu (NES)
3- Earthbound (SNES)
4- Snowboard Kids (N64)
5- Ladystalker (SNES)
naw. i dont see it.
chos is providing us with the VC email adress.
thats content enough.
why people are posting what they want to see on the vc on here is beyond me, but as long as they are going thru the trouble to email it to vcpoll@futureus.com then its all gravy
But even if they say that, there must be hope! Thank you for pointing that out though, I didn't even realize it was there xD
@RAB
I was thinking the same thing lol.
It can't hurt I guess. Maybe it will inspire Nintendo to beg Square to put it on the VC or even better on the DS! A portable Chron Trigger of SMRPG, there's soon going to be a portable Final Fantasy 3/6
2) Mother
3) Chrono Trigger
4) Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
5) Kirby Super Star
I'd like to see more N64 titles for cereal, there are a ton of games out for all the other platforms even turbografx has more titles. Needs more popular SNES stuff too, do we have DKC yet? I can't remember... Haven't checked in awhile. Do want the Mega Man X series and more RPGs!
