That there is a site that gives you in depth intstructions on how to let your DC games (the ones that don't suppport the DC broadband adapter) to "dial in" to your PC, which will act as a server using your broadband connection to get the DC online that way. You are capped at the absolute maximum speed of the DC's modem mind you :D.
Anyway, thought I'd share that since I know there are DC owners here who have long since moved on to broadband and don't want to pay for a narrowband connection JUST for the chance of downloading Shenmue stuff or save files :D. (It kinda sucks that the various online games, a large number anyway, never were designed to use the broadband adapter, but oh well, here's a solution.)
Seems as though you need Linux (lucky me), but I'm sure someone will find an alternative for Windows soon enough...
I've mentioned this show before, but now that the first season is out on dvd and the second season premiers on November 7th, I feel the need to mention it again, and more clearly.
Arrested Development is by far the best live-action comedy show I've seen in several years. It's extremely well written, directed, and every single cast member does their job amazingly well. It's too good for network tv, let alone Fox. If you ever liked stuff like The Larry Sanders Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, or the BBC show The Office, you guys will fall in love with this show. GR, you especially will love it more than anything else. I promise you that! So seriously guys, give the show a chance and rent the dvds or something.
And don't let Fox's lame ads fool you! The show is comedy gold.
I'll be getting it on wednesday or whenever BB or CC gets it in. Only $21 after the coupon, woo!
It's been getting good reviews, and the only complaint I've heard is that the Super Metroid-like gameplay (woo!) doesn't lend itself as well to Kirby (crap!) since you have to use temporary powers to gain access to new areas, not permanent ones like in SM. But still, I can't wait to get my hands on it!
I got a kick out of this e-mail someone at work sent to everyone, so I though I'd share it with you guys.
Quote:-edit- put a bucket of cookie dough in the 2nd floor refrigerator
with my name on it. I went to pick it up last Friday and it was gone. We
know it was there on Monday because she checked, so somewhere between
Monday and Friday, it went missing. This was a fund raiser for her
daughter's school.
You may not aware of the fact that there are video cameras in that area
and by all exits of the building. Before we look at all the tape to see
what happened to it, we would like to give you a chance to either pay for
it, or replace it, no questions asked. You can put it back (unopened) or
put the money in my mailbox (10$).
thanks, -edit-

Haha, who leaves buckets of cookie dough in public workplace fridges? And then they threaten to look through the surveillance footage, all 120 hours worth. Hahaha, like anyone would have time for that. I also love how they think that whoever took the cookie dough might not have opened in yet.
Okay, faggots. It's time to share with me what games you're playing. So stop slouching and listen up. Here's what I've been playing:
<b>Mario 64</b>: All this Mario DS commotion has got me playing Mario 64 again... it's such a wonderful game. It's absolutely eternal... a game you never get tired of, even though you take long breaks from, and it's in that category of games you wouldn't give up even if your delicates were at stake. If such an odd occasion arose, that is...
<b>Star Fox 64</b>: This is an awesome game... I've beaten it around 10 times or so, and I just keep on playing through it. It's another great game with endless replay value.
<b>Castlevania: Circle of the Moon</b>: I haven't played this and beaten it in about a year... so I played it for a week or so, and I quickly got to Dracula. I just have to beat his ass to win... and the Arena. I never beat the Arena before, so I've got that challenge, at least.
<b>Body Harvest</b>: Yeah... I'm only on America... and sorta stuck. It's a pretty hard level.
<b>Final Fantasy VII</b>: Yeah... pretty much the only reason I was playing this is because I brought my N64 to my apartment with me, and when I stayed at my parents house, all I had was a Playstation to play. I brought the N64 back, though (since we don't even have a fucking TV... we have to play through his computer), and so I haven't played this much since. It was mildly interesting, though, so maybe I'll keep playing.
<u>Want to be playing</u>
<b>Tales of Symphonia</b>: This game has looked awesome to me ever since I saw a trailer that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Unfortunately, money's tight with me, so I can't pick it up just yet... hopefully, I'll be finished with my project (I'm writing a program for a company)
<b>Mario 64: DS</b>: I'm definately not getting the DS at launch... I'll probably wait until it drops to $150 or $100. That Mario 64 game looks awesome, though... besides its ugly graphics. An extension of Mario 64, one of my favorite games of all time, is nonetheless really attractive.
The sheer subtleties are some of the funniest part. Serve up a SATCHEL! SATCHEL! SATCHELS ARE SO POPULAR THIS YEAR! This IS my costume! How did he get a toenail in the throat again?
