I blame Remo and his incessant discussion in the Idle Thumbs podcast.
Not that I need to spend another 40 hours in a game. :(

You remember, of course, at E3, our good friend Chris Remo cornered Nintendo into confirming they were working on another Pikmin game. Today, I got a Nintendo release about its early 2009 lineup. Pretty standard stuff. Mostly Pokemon, but then I got to the 'graph below and started worrying:
Meanwhile, for the Wii console, Nintendo is offering up two classic Nintendo GameCube™ games: New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis and New Play Control! Pikmin enhanced for play using the Wii Remote™ controller. The enhanced New Play Control! Pikmin game lets players point the Wii Remote controller at the screen and use it as a cursor, making it easy to select either a single Pikmin or an entire army. When a player tosses Pikmin, they fly wherever the cursor is pointing.
Oh God... I hope this isn't the Pikmin they were talking about... It's the exact same game, with a new controller.

I just recently installed Solaris 10 on a new box and being that I'm completely new to UNIX/Solaris, I have no idea what is going on with my SSH package. More specifically, it doesn't exist. From what I read online, SSH is automatically on there and already enabled when Solaris 10 (and 9 I hear) is installed.
What do I do Shack? I'm so lost and confused and sad.
I'll have my first ever 20 minute science talk, presenting my research, in an hour.. i'm a a bit nervous, but prepared i guess. wish me luck!

When i goto this link: http://www.redoctanegames.com/warranty/
And I select Canada, then I enter in December 13th 2008 and honestly my only options it gives me are for drums....um wtf? Plus when i say my drum stand and I say i have contacted them for trouble shooting and that it is not missing (since my rum stand is also broken) It redirects me to an FAQ page? Which is where I found the link to warranty in the first place. It seems like it is a cycle of FAQ page and a warranty page that redirects you to the FAQ page. Can anyone help?

You know how sometimes it's nothing but a bunch of dudes jerking off around a chick for what seems like forever? But then if you cut to the cumshot the viewer feels he ended up being gypped? I mean, Did they go out for a smoke and then come back and shoot their load? Did the pornstar cry in shame so badly that they needed to cut the scene? The viewer feels a bit cheated, even if most of the time nothing happens.
So in this movie The Bitches, the shot goes to a picture-by-picture, boring crap on the left, about-to-shoot-their-load on the right, essentially squeezing time down in half. It's GENIUS!

It's a pretty fun downhill game. Sucky that it only comes in a few country editions, but just pick a country and you can run the install in English and the whole game will be.
