I say this, When we canadians pull off an election we do it fast! The American elections seem to drag on at a turtles passe ,We could have two elections done and over with in the time it takes you to get just one through.

Our federal election in Canada is October 14th

The parties I am considering voting for

Conservatives (tories)
Liberals(grits)
Libertarian party of Canada
Marijuana party (Although legalization will hurt my friends hash business, Don't ask)

Topics that would decide my vote

Position on Israel, Position on Iran, Afghanistan NATO mission.

Since Harper espoused support for the 2003 invasion of iraq , I am concerned of what action he make should "McCain or Obama" decide to go into Iran within the next four years, I will withhold my vote for the Tories untill I can have the guarantee that they wont support another ill fated endeavor abroad.

Dion (liberals), Position on Iran and Israel is also a mystery to me.

Libertarians, No chance of winning power but their positions on foreign policy are in line with mine.

*removed crazy stuff*

At list this gives you a glimpse of that game I go on about.

I'm in the sixth chapter now (out of eight), first dungeon (there are two in this chapter). The game's challenging, and I'll admit I've used GameFAQs some (particularly for level maps, more so than for walkthrough text), but it's a great game. Well-designed puzzles, fantastic dungeons, good combat... it's like NES Zelda, but linear, less random, and really, really fun. I mean, Zelda 1 feels pretty archaic now, with the hidden walls you can't find without random bombing things, the totally non-linear "wander around and find the dungeons for yourself" design, etc, but StarTropics feels a lot more modern in design. Sure, it has a lot of hidden passages, but they're always hinted at with some small graphical clue, if you look close enough...

Decent writing too, for a Nintendo NES game. Great tropical theme to the game as well. And some pretty good music. The whole design just works really well. This is one I'm definitely trying to finish. :)

And then I have a StarTropics II: Zoda's Revenge cart sitting there too, for when I do...

There are some interesting music sites out there, but at long last we have one that can COMPLETE any song you care to upload!

It adds more cowbell at exactly the proper tempo after you tell it the degree of cowbell you want (More is the correct answer).

I don't think Dissidia is a real word, but the Japanese sure now all the tricks to make a fancy sounding english word. I mean that's the sort of word that should be in some really old fasioned font, and have some black bits in the patterns on those old victorian gates growing out of it, and maybe leaves and cats intertwined in still-frame. Fanciness generates such things.

It seems Kefka's in here, and he's got this "why so serious" vibe around him. That new makeup job of his certainly looks recently familiar.
