The Pezman

I reinstalled Vista several times this past summer, and I would always hesitate when it came to giving my laptop a network name. I could never decided between JEREMYPESNER-PC and THEPEZMAN-PC. But, out of laziness, I usually went with the former. However, it does have a loose resemblance of the famous advent children landscape painted on its front. People love it.

Since I have established somewhat of a presence since MAGfest V, I'll actually feel comfortable talking to people this time around. People should work rooms w/ me so I'm not all alone when I do.

Point taken, all. I did have friends with an NES. But I had more friends with an SNES. I know SMW much better than any of its predecessors.

Musical Remix of Celes's Opera Theme ftw.

What you say is true, but nevertheless, you are playing under Raynor's command the entire time (while you're under Mengsk, he has yet to really show his true colors). For the first third of the game, you are playing as the Good Guys who have every reason to believe the people they're working under are Good Guys as well. When it becomes apparent that they're not, the Good Guys do the Good Thing and break away. So I'd still say that you remain in control of the Good Guys the entire time you play as the Terrans. That's true, and I never denied it. However, that distinction only makes WC3 darker, which is the point I was trying to make in the first place. You're right. I'll give you that. The Protoss are involved from the beginning, while the Orcs and Night Elves are not. That would largely be because I haven't beaten the former or even played the latter. I was on mission 6 or 7 of the Zerg campaign in BW before something (I can't remember what) happened to my computer, and my game files were lost. I never got around to rebeating it. Same with playing FT. You're absolutely correct, and it's those differences that made WC3's plot enjoyable. We can argue plot distinctions all day, but the big thing I'm addressing is the mood, which I still don't see as significantly different. I merely provided the basic plot summary to show that things more or less go the same way in terms of victories, which affects the overall mood. However, apart from all this, I must say I am incredibly happy that Blizzard didn't opt for a World of Starcraft like PA's Tycho predicted they would.

But how is it physically possible for them to step on three arrows at once?

I've long been out of DDR practice, and even at my peak I was nowhere near nerdcore. I tried to play with my also out-of-practice friend last weekend and it was very difficult for us to finish some heavy songs on Maxes 1 & 2 (so ashamed!). However, this means I'm a bit out of the loop on a couple of things: 1. What are those circles that show up occasionally? 2. How were they suppose to respond to more than two arrows simultaneously? If you look at the video, you'll notice arrows are still coming while a pair of freeze arrows are already in effect. 3. What's the best way for an out of practice DDRer to earn back his skillz? My friend's school has it as a gym activity, and he made sure he was one of the six to sign up. My school, as of yet, has no such course.

I'd take issue with this. Both games start as you take control of the heroic, almighty human forces and do battle against the evil, ugly villains of the game. One of your main heroes is corrupted by said enemies, and it's an easy segway to retain a character as you move on to play as the creepy enemies. You fight against pretty much every hero who was on your side previously (and end up killing a few them, especially in WC3). But the good guys soldier on, while the omniscient yet neutral third party has no choice but to get involved, and eventually they all band together in a multiracial, large-scale fight to take down the evil force and bring a satisfactory, though knowingly open-ended, end to the game. All races have the moods which label them in their appropriate category. Where are the significant differences?

I guess it comes with the territory of only being 20, but I completely missed the NES era. The genesis was my first console. And (fun phact), while I have never owned a Nintendo console (and had every Sega one except Sega CD), I have possessed every incarnation of the Game Boy (except the Micro, but what the hell man? That was ridiculous through and through). Not the DS though.

I'll try to be more outrageous with my reviews in the future, so the sarcasm is evident enough to slap you in the face.

This is the most awesome shit ever. It will blow your mind. And it's completely 100% original. I've never seen anything like it in my life. ("out of thin air" joke @ 6:23 and information about SMB2 I didn't know is good, though)

I totally would if it had been two weeks earlier. But I'll be away at school, so sorry bout that. However, if you make another video at the fest of MAG, it will be tre awesome and you'll get all sorts of participation.

Good news, but did everyone get their stuff done?

Damn... the SAGE page has been taken down. I was using it as a resource to investigate these various projects, but now I have to grind it out one by one. Goddamn you, SAGE.

I wouldn't have known about it had I not seen advertisements in the city.

Can't speak to either the Psx save states or to Vista's strange ISO removal, but you should never ever install Vista without this: http://www.vlite.net/ Let's you take out pretty much whatever components of Vista you don't like, resulting in a smaller installation. Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player are nowhere to be found in even the deepest, darkest recesses of my C:\Windows folder.

already gone

Wish he'd make the dev program public... we could splice together a game with each person doing a different level.

Is it based on any previous book or other form of media? Nearly every movie this summer has.

I will not play WoW, but I've gots'ta bone up on the rest of the Warcraft legacy. I beat III and should start on Frozen Throne, and then I have to find a way to make myself suffer through I and II (but especially I). I may even read the books.

Oh, I'd totally go if I were in NY on this Wednesday. Sadly, I'm not.

Do/can you do this for any track you think is good enough?

I just saw Nullsleep perform last Sunday (well, to what extent he performed versus what extent he just played what he'd already programmed is debatable) and it was damn awesome. And I'm ready to make chiptunes myself. However, I still have no desire to use Game Boys or, for that matter, to learn to use trackers when we have superior means available. At least, we SHOULD have superior means available. GUILTGUILTGUILTGUILTGUILTGUILTGUILTGUILT PS Is it possible for us to help you via the LSDJ rom? I don't know if I trust an emulator to accurately emit the sound...

Has a specific release date been set yet?

The word "Manniversary" brings all sorts of disgusting images to mind that I'd care not to ever have repeated again. Also, us preordering the game helps you how?
