Today in obituaries, Dhsu dies from heart attack. Hmmm.. Max Payne claims another one.

Max Payne! I've been waiting a long time for this movie when I first heard about it. Though I haven't been keeping up with it, it doesn't seem too bad at all. It certainly isn't as gritty as Sin City, which is a plus for me. When some movies or even comic books get overly dramatic, even past the point of melodrama, it's almost laughable. From the looks of it, the movie seems to switch color palettes a lot, which might be used to discern reality from more dream-like states. But overall, I can't say if it's going to be good or bad. Even still, I'll probably go watch this movie in the theaters when it comes out. I just worry if the writing is strong enough so that you feel sympathy for Max. In the game, it was an adventure where key points would then reveal more about his past and what was going on around him versus what the player/viewer thought was happening. If they skimp on this presentation style, then it's going to be your run of the mill action movie. I think I saw Mona in the trailer too, which makes me wonder what they're trying to do with her... It's still early though.

You can say the same for the DS and GBA games, couldn't you? Cartridges sticking out of systems is the Nintendo way ever since SNES.

I created the group. There isn't too much to update outside of events like MAGfest or OCR meetups. I also try to direct casual users to the forums who want more specific help.

Perhaps you are just losing fat and gaining muscle weight. It happens. Reduction of fat is more important than losing overall weight. If you are pretty fit, and stop all physical activity, you would lose weight, but that would just be your muscle wasting away. Muscle is heavier than fat. So yeah, weight isn't really a good way to gauge your progress if you are doing weights. If you're trying to reduce solely fat, and doing aerobics, then weight would probably be a more appropriate way to keep track. I haven't been progressing as much as I'd like to. I've thought about adding some more weight. My arms have been getting more of a workout than my chest. As for abs, I've gotten farther with using those decline sit ups so I'll be sticking with those. On days where I attempt handstands, I've also tried to work out delts and lats. But seeing how I use my delts when doing handstands, it's kind of counter-productive. I want to see if I can move that to another day.

You can drive there. Parking is probably more troublesome than at other beaches I've been to. I'm sure that plenty of people there use a parking garage which is pretty expensive in any one's case. Of course it all depends on how early it starts. Coney Island just has a lot of people coming and going, so relying on street parking is not a great idea. Everybody confirm if they're a definite, maybe or no for this event and Bahamut should edit the first post with more details. I am a maybe. I do not really like the beach.

It takes a long time to get to Coney Island from Canal St. N or Q are the best. Read a book on the way there or just take a nap. I do not have good memories of the place since about a month ago. But I didn't do much there. The important thing is to be prepared because of the jacked up prices they have near the beach. Also the Popeye's serves very small wings. =\ @ Jarvi: There's going to be another one hopefully at the end of the year.

zircon, our grill master who had no idea how to start up the grill: Taucer drinking alcohol, totally under the confines and restrictions that the law has placed on its citizens. Just wanted to apologize for some of the shots being a bit dull looking or out of focus. I didn't really know that we were going to a bowling alley. It's always dimly lit there. I wish I had more bbq shots, but I kind of left before the whole thing got started. Maybe next time.

A happy candid shot. Group shot, without flash. With flash.

Jose caressing his ball in mid-conversation with Kulaman. DJP bowling at light speed! zircon bowling at normal speed. It's okay, Nicky. You'll do better next time!

<3 balls. Yellow, black and blue. Sometimes they're red too! Amy in action. Amy II post-action.

Xenon looking cool at the bowling alley. Pixie throws...! Pixie waits for the results! Taucer bowls.

More pics, most of them self explanatory: "Hey, guys. It's hot outside." Taucer juggling! Taucer.

I actively update the OCRemix facebook group. Join it! We have over 2000 members which is a lot more than I thought we would have.

no weapon pron? count me out.

Hopefully not a black omen. kekekekeke.

I also think that Tennis 2k2 is also available for Dreamcast as well. It's essentially the sequel to Virtua Tennis and is actually 5 times better than it. The pace is much faster and you can actually run! If you loved Virtua Tennis, get Tennis 2k2. Not getting it is not an option. Skies on Arcadia is a little more annoying on Dreamcast as there are more random battles, a lot more. I'd stick with the GC version, but my friends loved the DC version more.

Don't make it too soon. Give some people some time to schedule things if they need to take a day off or something of that nature. Preferably, schedule it for the 26th at the earliest. If later, then I think that's all the better for people to make accommodations for the trip up here, especially if they don't live too close. It's just a good idea not to rush things. I'll probably go to a NYC meet up as it only really takes me 5 dollars to get to Grand Central Station. I do have plans here and there in July though.

If you're into fighting games, then yes, Dreamcast is worth getting. Outside of fighting games, you'd probably want to get some very cool action/arcadey games like Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, and the lovable Chuchu Rocket. There are some very good and unique games for the system, however, it all really depends on your taste. Some other notable games would be Skies of Arcadia and Grandia 2. For less than 100 dollars, I think you can really accumulate an awesome library for the system and have hours of great gaming ahead of you. Personally, I think that 40 dollars is a little steep, since I got my Dreamcast plus 3 really good games for it for 50 dollars (Dead or Alive 2, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Grandia 2). That was also a couple of years ago too. Check out eBay auctions to see what they have to offer.

Today, I feel like garbage. The past couple of days have only given me about 4 hours of sleep a night. I would have been fully recharged had I not been called by someone at 8 in the morning. I think that maybe I could go to the gym, but I don't want to push myself too much. I also realize that not going would probably be very bad for me too... I guess some light exercise today will not kill me.

Xerol is. But in his defense, his camera is very small and being that size and weight, it's difficult to keep still. As for pictures, mine will be up next week. I have a specific place where I like to get my photos developed and scanned rather than your local Target or Rite Aid where some high school kids don't take pride in their work. Other people were using digital though.. they should have no excuse! It was cool to see/meet everyone though I know I wasn't there long enough to have a meaningful conversation with most everyone that came. Bowling was great. I haven't done it in a long while since the local one by me closed down. I finished half a subway footlong at the train station, which is kind of like a miniature bbq... okay.. it wasn't. But that's fine with me.

Just bumping because of updated infoz.

I heard about the beta, but I don't have any this gen. consoles. My cousin told me that you can only select Ryu or Ken. But I'm assuming that the other stages are still selectable... and be able to listen to its music? When it officially comes out, I'm sure that there will be tons of OCR online matches. Don't worry about me though, I think I can pick it up pretty quick. Favorite priority: Chun's headstomp >> Blanka's electricity.
