I remember when I played my first NES in 1984 or so, after YEARS of the Atari 2600, I sat back and was totally awestruck at the graphics of Super Mario Brs. When I played SMB3 years later, I thought I was dead and in heaven.....
I would love that feeling again, but I have not felt that since the old days of Video Games.
Don't get me wrong, I am still a die hard gamer and they will have to peel the controller out of my dead hand to bury me some day.

This has got to be one of the most amusing griefing stories I have heard yet...

Quotes:
I was in Ashenvale. I was trying to kill Sharptalon for a quest to receive alot of XP. Tragically, this was not to be.
A group of 30+ priests ambushed me; I fought bravely, not even running, knowing it was to late for me. I had just barely damaged one when suddenly, I felt the control of my body jerked from my own will! I was helpless; a doll for them to play with.
....
My newfound Puppeteer, using Mind Control, walked me, escorted by his priestly allies, to Astranaar. Every time the spell was nearly worn out, Another Priest would cast it on me. This deranged caravaan dragged me to the Night Elf city, where I was summarily laughed at by every Night Elf present.
....
My new found "friends" 'escorted' me to Stardust, where I was the official meat shield. I took all the hits, and when my HP was low, the Priests would scream untill I regained my vitality (unfortunatly).

I'm shopping for subs, but it is much harder to find the price/performance point with audio equipment.
Recently I've become a bit of a very minor audiophile and I cannot stand listening to music in my car anymore or even on my computer, only headphones. So, naturally, the speakers and amplifiers must simply be upgraded.
I hope the shack has something to recommend.

Awesome PVP battle of a warlock fucking up some alliance shit. Not saying warlocks are the best class or anything, but this is some impressive stuff. The guy certainly knows what he's doing and executes perfectly. Warlocks are a fun class to play and this video shows what I love about them.

cut and paste from Aeon Genesis' page
Cave Story is a freeware sidescrolling action/adventure/platformer title with leanings towards Wonderboy and recent sidescrolling Castlevania titles. You control a little amnesiac who runs around helping out these rabbit-ish creatures called Mimigas while trying to find your way out of the giant cave inside the floating island which makes up the game's setting.
You can expand your health meter by collecting Life Capsules in similar fashion to Metroid games, while you can get stronger by collecting energy to boost your firearms' output. Each weapon can be built up to the maximum level (3) fairly quickly, but taking damage will drain energy from its experience meter, sometimes causing it to level down. Given how quickly they power up this only tends to be an issue during boss fights, and even then there's usually plenty of opportunities for collecting more weapon energy.
The game has loads of secrets, too. Shih Tzu and I haven't found everything, and we've each played it through a couple of times (not to mention having read the script.) It's pretty awesome that way.
For a freeware Japanese platformer, it's fairly lengthy and has quite a large amount of text. I'd guesstimate that each playthrough, provided you knew what you were doing, would take about 4-6 hours. Tack on an extra couple of hours if you don't know what you're doing, possibly for extreme problems with nasty bosses (which this game has plenty of, especially towards the end.) We're also talking three very different endings, plenty of plot, and quite a cast of charming characters. It really is a superb little gem :)

Unfortunatly, it's only for Windows so everyone jumping on the Mac Mini wagon will have to leave their PCs plugged in for just a little bit longer (I want to play this on my Powerbook without having to use VirtualPC :( )

My quest for De-Kool-Aid-Man-ization 2k5
End of January progress: -15 lbs yay!. 75lbs left FUCK!.
My right asscheek hurts, I think i tweaked my shoulder again, my left tricep is sore as hell and I'm ready to kill for a plate of food from my favorite Chinese buffet place.
What the fuck was I thinking. I should've raided the Chinese buffet one last time before I started this stupid dieting shit. Dammit.
TLDR - How are the rest of the shack anorexics/fatties doing on their quest to gain/lose weight? Srsly, I need inspiration to not rob the local taco bell's kitchen. Ajax if you make a fat joke I'll fucking kill you.
