Followed this link from Gorillamask.net. It contains a small collection of Weezer songs remixed with techno/nes sounds. I'm not a fan of techno music so I was disappointed to not hear a straight cover using NES-only music. However, those into that kind of music may enjoy it much more.

Has high traffic sometimes, so try later if it does not work.

I guess I can post some links, right?

Bob-omb Propaganda

Sonic gives Guybrush advice (I guess this one counts)

My favorite mash of Sling Blade and LOTR (random)

Thought I might do another one for the hell of it. Anyways, Silent Hill has been one of two products to make me stay awake at night for fear of what lurks in the dark (the other being the classic film Aliens). I learned about this game after seeing an ad. I rented it, not knowing what was to come.



How did this image translate into



After gathering up enough courage to move beyond this scene, I moved Harry Mason to the Midwich Elementary School, where the frustration began.

I was doing well in my exploration of the forsaken school, enjoying a few scares along the way (the cat in the locker as well as the ghost children). Everything was going smoothly until I reached this puzzle:




At the time, these two statements went through my mind: 1) I play piano, so this should be easy, 2) Oh crap, I suck at poetry/riddles!

I thought the puzzle would be music-related, creating an easy experience for me. However, the keys that were supposed to be touched were ones that made a clicking sound. I knew from that moment I was fucked. My logic skills at the time were crap, making this puzzle much more difficult. I sat on my floor for hours trying to piece together how birds equal piano keys. I spent the rest of my time with the game copying the riddle and the keys from the game, always confused about what the hell to do.

Eventually, the game had to be returned, with no progress made. When I rented SH again, I had to use an online walkthrough to pass this part. Of course, I now know that the color of the birds equals the color of the key. I wasn't very bright then...

It was Christmas of 1995. After owning the Super Nintendo Entertainment System for a year, I was still filled with excitement playing the only two games I had at the time: Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart. On the 25th of December, however, I received a gift that would transform me into the gamer I am today. That gift, of course, was Super Metroid.


Awesome

From the moment I started in the eerie space station, I was hooked. I played this non-stop until the next game in my library came into fruition (Star Fox). Although I was confused about the plot sometimes (too much for my youthful mind), I continued to enjoy every moment of music, art style, and gameplay. That ended when I reached this room:


This is why I drink.

When I first entered the room, my initial thoughts were, "Ok. Jumping aliens. Now what?" I first jumped up to see a ledge just out of reach on the left. I thought this could be done if I tried hard enough with the High Jump Boots. I think I spent two hours trying the single-jump method. This process repeated for a few days. The initial confusion turned into sheer frustration. After a week of back tracking to the save room, looking for other exit points, and throwing my controller in my 10-year-old rage, I erased the game and started over.

Until high school, I avoided the area altogether. I dreaded seeing the corridor with an energy tank and false floor. I can obviously breeze by the area now that I know the wall-jump technique, although I cannot remember how I came to learn it. However, when I play SM now, I am still haunted by frustration when I see the gray-square corridor of evil and the resulting scenes.

A couple of years ago, I was filled with glee when I viewed the trailer for the Windows/360 thriller. In an apparent homage to David Lynch's Twin Peaks, I believed this was a game that would give me a deep emotional disturbance, something I have not experienced since the original Silent Hill.

Unfortunately, disappointment soon became the general feeling for this game. It started with Remedy's release date of "When it's done." I first assumed the game would be given the highest quality in gaming experiences. However, this was stated back in 2006 with no real updates since.

With no listings at E3 2008 or Microsoft Spring Showcase 08, will Bright Falls ever see the light of day?

I just finished my midterm for an online class and now need something to do. See my stuff!



This is the living room of the house I live in. Included is the 50+ inch projection tv with a JVC 5.1 home theater on top. A Wii, Dreamcast, and PS2 are left out here for anyone who wants to play.



DVDs and VHS collected by my roomates and myself. Three guitars, one for Rock Band, two for GH3 (wii and 360).



The cupboard contains Wii, 360, Xbox, and PS2 games. GC controllers for Mario Kart and Brawl.



The bottom shelf contains chargers and Wii peripherals.



Full of Sega Genesis and Dreamcast hardware and wires.



The box in the closet contains various N64 stuff.



My bedroom contains the good stuff.



My new PS3 with the AWESOME media selector (got it for $50!)



Gamecube with Wavebird and current game played (RE)



360 with random crap scattered.



Top of my bookshelf contains various DS, PC, and SNES games.




Moved some games to show the rest.



Next shelf contains random CDs and PC games.



Second shelf continued.



Next shelf contains folders full of CDs and my best console: SNES.



Don't know all the specs of the PC at the moment. Folder on the floor contains around 250 games for 360, Xbox, PS, and PS2.



Old PC that was broken, but now fixed. Used for data storage.

That's the major stuff that I have. Sorry for the small pics. Hope you enjoy!
