It makes sense. It's hard to have fun with unsuspecting people when so many know the character you're trying to fool them with. He got some mileage out of Borat and the other one, so it's a good idea to come up with a new character or two now.

Well, since linking to ROMs, free mp3s of music that's being actively sold, and stuff like that is forbidden on OCR, I'm not sure why you thought linking to copyrighted text and images from a printed book would be fine, Linearity. It may be a different medium, but it is a visual scanning of material that belongs to a company. To the best of my knowledge, those sites didn't get permission to scan those manuals, so I can understand why linking to it's a no-no. To be honest, I'm not even sure why we had to link to them when writing the bios. I was under the assumption that all they were there for was just backing up bio info so we could prove we weren't simply pulling it out of our ass

Since it's been brought up, I wish to only have my screen name listed. Thanks.

I don't wanna. Ah yoo oh kay? Busta Woof! Eh! Comuh comuh!

Perhaps it was two guys with guns, shouting, "WII WOULD LIKE TO PLAY MUTHA FUCKA!"

And Disruptor did it a year before that

Remix done, and subbed. Check up on that PM Box of yours, Dyne.

There is no end. Enduro plays like its title suggests... you go until you lose. You have to pass a certain number of cars during the game's "24 hour" period (which is about 5 minutes or so), or you're done. The game cycles on a steady timer, so regardless of how fast or slow you go, you have the same amount of time to pass the needed number of cars.

Don't know when this 4/3 thing started (which seems a bit unbalanced to me), but a couple years ago, virtually everything that had straight NOs had four of them unless there was a NO override.

Guess I better start repenting. This has to be one of the signs.

Nope. Enduro (1983) by Activision for the Atari 2600 was a racing game that featured this 14 years before Harvest Moon

Well, I know for certain that FF7 wasn't the first game to swear. Exile for the Genesis beat it by quite a few years in 1991. It has words like "Damn" and "Ass" in it. Might not be the F-bomb or whatever, but for console gaming in the early 90s, that's quite a step up. I'm sure there were games before Exile that used at least "Damn", or "Hell".

No, and I don't know where my children are. Of course, I don't have any, but that's beside the point. Anyway, it's getting there. Still adding stuff to it and trying to make it a little more varied. I'll probably be attempting to equalize it and whatnot on Wednesday. That reminds me... is there a set KB/s to be used? 192? 160? 320 (which seems like overkill)?

I may be wrong, but... - Sonic and Knuckles was the first (only?) lock-on cartridge of its type. - Herzog Zwei was the first RTS game.

Did some tests. Most of the characters work fine with a dark BG, expect for the Chinese girl, the vampire chick, and the robot. The Vampire chick and the robot have mostly mid-range to darker colors, so they really start disappearing on a dark BG. The Chinese chick has an intensely blue dress, with dark gray hair. Finding a color for her that doesn't make her dress or her hair vanish is tough, but here's some that I came up with... Thoughts? LT: The darker shades for the first set of images definitely work better. I'm gonna sound anal, but with the 32x32 limit, I'm definitely not feeling body shot images with BGM where something reaches the edge; it just makes it look bootleg how the background color doesn't envelop the image. Maybe try to resize the images for those so they're 30 pixels tall maximum, if the resize looked good. It might be too hard to get some of these looking good on any sort of solid background color, but maybe you'll hit paydirt with other colors. Designating them 1-10 with 1-5 being the top row and 6-10 being the bottom: I'd take 3, 7, 8 & 9 as is, definitely. They look awesome. 1 and 5, I'd take with a different background color than that brown shade. 2, 4, 5 & 10 are the clearly the toughest to really hit a solid BG color for, as you've already found out. Sorry for taking so long in my reply, Coop. Thanks for the effort on these so far!

No problem. I tried out several colors (and variations of them) for the backgrounds... Do any of them strike your fancy LT? Also, would you prefer them all on the same colored background, or should I use a few colors, and give each character whichever one works best for it (like give Bob an orange bg, Bub a pale blue bg, etc)? LT: The light colors generally aren't giving enough contrast for the images to stand out. I'd experiment with several darker shades.

Have you tried giving the metal tabs on the cartridges a good cleaning (front and back)? If you don't have any safe liquids that can be used, an old, dry t-shirt will do for wiping them down. Also, try checking the power plug to make sure it's in securely. If it's not quite all the way in, it could cause graphical issues from the power fluctuation if it wiggles.

From a Community thread...

A few from Puzzle Bobble 2... In order, there's... Willy Whistle, Unknown, Mighta, Unknown, Unknown Unknown, Monsta, Bob, Bub, Unknown I'm still trying to find names for the unknown ones, but thus far, no luck. Oh, and here they are without a background... I also found out that s name is Benzo. LT: With the backgrounds is good, but I'm not feeling a black background. If you can switch it to something more stylish, I'd take 'em. Thanks for the info on Benzo.

To ya mutha?

OH LOOK! A WIP... TC_AlgorythmicCarol.mp3 Still got some things to try and tinker with (like instrument definition, getting rid of the crackling towards the end of the WIP, figuring out what to add for a third and final playing of the main chorus, etc.).

Not yet. I just started working on it last night.

I'm still here with this, but I completely scrapped my first idea. It just wasn't working out that well, so I started over from scratch. I'm not expecting it to be very long, probably between 1:30 and 2:30 (absolute tops), but thus far, I like it better.

Nope. You can choose only from the preset ones that are in your User Control Panel, under "Edit Avatar".
