[!@#$%!]

you lost me there, see.

a VGA cable is a (subset of?) DB15

same thing as the controller?

and the monitor goes on a printer cable?

this confuses me lol

speaking of mad science... watch out for soldering fumes yo. use lead-free when possible since you're not well-ventilated (basement and all) and if you must use lead take it outside. also watch the rosin.

anyway, i wanna see pictures when you reach the "it's aliiiiiiiiiiive!" stage

I really liked Tekken. That's the one where you fight the little old man who turns into a huge beastmode motherfucker right? The original Tekken? Yeah. That was cool shit.

As for SF, I don't think I ever played past SF2. I've never been a big video game guy, but I totally gave up on fighting games when shit like Goldeneye (N64) and Tenchu Stealth Assasssins (PlayStation) came out. Tenchu was a fucking blast. And Goldeneye was just the best bro game ever. My friends and I would spend days shooting one another, imaging we were honing our skills at some special craft. Then other times you'd be right next to someone with a golden gun and you'd shoot and it would not hit them due to some dumbass glitch, and oh man was that infuriating!

Video games make me angry.

I like BioShock. Or... I liked BioShock when I played it, and since then I have watched it become a major world dominating phenomenon, and I've been interested in the little I've been able to glean about the story line and he characters... dead guys with bunny masks and shit. Steampunk nautical horror with robots. Seems cool.

Also I like Coolboarders and 1080°. Yep. Sports games. Oh! And the first Spurs the Dragon.

I'm not sure what DB15 n stuff are really used for. But that's what these things used.

As for the soldering, I'll definitely take that precaution...though for the sticks, I don't think there will be too much soldering being done. I'm gonna have quick disconnects on the buttons/sticks so I won't have to go through that trouble every time I need to change one.

Not sure if that was Tekken. Sounds like something else. Tekken was 3D.And that game at a competitive level is insanely hard. So much focus on the movement and every character has like 300 moves. Tekken is Korea's game. There's a technique called 'Korean Backdash'. I love video games, but it's so hard to find time for them sometimes. I can barely play single player games because I get too immersed and I have to play it for a few hours. I have like 4 games to beat at the moment and I'm no where near done with the first. This is another reason why I like street fighter, I can play it for 20 minutes and that's it. I don't have to finish any levels or anything. Just whoop some ass and continue figuring out what works and what doesn't. Or just practice inputs/combos for 20 minutes. But I can also play it for 5 hours straight. It's perfect. Also, if you like snowboarding games, please tell me you played SSX.

Im pretty sure it was Tekken. I looked up "Tekken old man" on Google and found pictures of the dude in mini-old-guy mode and beast mode (big muscular old guy with upward/outward hair).

Hell yes I played SSX. Only the first one though, for PS2. I see there are shitloads more now. But yeah, I loved snowboarding games. I never got into skateboarding games for some reason.

I used to just come home from school, plop myself down with some Aphex Twin or maybe NIN on the discman, and go to town on Coolboarders. I got really fucking good at that game. And Coolboarders 2.

UNFUCKINGBELIVABLE

I decided to book a holiday to Sevilla to get away for a few days. About 10 minutes after booking the flights I realised I'd booked them on the same week both Pharmakon AND Michael Rother were doing gigs. If you asked me to bands I really wanna see that I've not seen yet it'd be them two. Godfuckingdammit. Just...JUST!

[EVOLghost]

Damn....that sucks. Pharmakon is dope.


EDIT: I haven't seen her live, but I sure as hell want to.

I have! She's rad.

I still hate the Fucking fuck out of the cover of Abandon though. Jesus. Too Fucking disgusting. Did I ever mention that I thought those maggots were pine nuts for the longest time?

I know. This is actually the third time I've missed her. She was playing ATP and it ended up clashing with Beak> (who ended up touring about a billion times after that), second time is when she had to cancel the tour cos she pretty much died and now this.

I was actually looking at flying to Paris a couple of days beforehand, but there's no way I can justify the cost.

The new one isn't much better!

[EVOLghost]

Hahaha @Sev pine nuts! Seriously? lol I mean I see it now...

Yep. Thought those were pine nuts pouring out of her crotch (I know they're not really doing that in the pic, but that's the suggestion). Imagine my surprise when I put on my glasses and looked more closely...

Sure the cover of Contact is still gross, as was the cover of Bestial Burden... gross and unsettling, both... but they do not compare with Abandon. Maggots.... maggots and the explicit suggestion of maggots entering and exiting a woman's nethers.

YOWza. Blarhf. Blarerrrhfaaaaaalloverthefuckingplace!

Seriously disturbing. The new one is just moderator disturbing. Unless there are fucking maggots hidden in THAT one too! Don't tell me there are, bro.

Fuck. I Fucking HATE maggots and my terrible vision and ridiculously bulbous prism lenses. Fuck everything!

[EVOLghost]

Ugh. I really want to punch the person who fucking crashed into my car last night. I walked out to leave for work to find my car's bumper in pieces on the drivers side and the whole side of my car just missing a bunch of paint.

OH! This is afwr my girlfriend broke the damn washer too.....AGGHHHH

Oh man. That sucks. I suppose it's too much to hope that your company has a private lot with surveillance cameras?

I want to punch several public officials in the face right now. It's been a constant thing for, oh, two-and-a-half months now. For some reason, round about Jan. 20, my urge to punch grew exponentially. It used to just be Drake that I wanted to punch. Now, it's, like... an entire dynasty of fuckwads.
