A recent thuderstorm has left my computer in ruins. The monitor and modem have been vaporized, but luckily it looks like nothing else was damaged. But that isn't all. When I installed the new modem it made my computer freeze up and messed up everytime I tried to start up, so I took the new modem out and put the old one back so that I install the drivers for the modem. It started up fine, but when it got Windows everything ran slow so I decided to shut down and restart it, hoping that that would fix any leftover problems. When I started it up however it cheerfully informed me that the driver file was missing or corrupt and that Windows could not start until I fixed this problem. Now, this has happened once before and I just left it alone for a while and the problem went away on it's own, although I have no idea how, but I was using my brother's monitor so I haven't had a chance to check it again. I would be able to fix it easily if I had the Windows XP disc, but I can't find it. Tomorrow I'm going to get a new monitor, so hopefully after that I can fix any remaining problems.
Ok, I know that the reason why the Klingons look so different in TOS from the rest of Trek is because of budget reasons, and I know that they ackowledged that there was a reason for that in DS9, but then why do they look like normal Klingons in Enterprise?

Cool! The only question is... it says it has 10 games, MM1-8 and the two arcade games. But it mentions Game Boy... and if it just had MM1 to 8 it wouldn't include any of the GB titles...
Oh, and it doesn't seem to have MM and Bass. Maybe because they just released it for GBA and don't want to cut into those sales?
I attend ECPI TECHNICAL COLLEGE and in class yesterday, 3 older folks in my class were talking about a man who shipped himself from New York to his family who lived in Texas. Upon his arrival at his family's door step, he pops out of the box or whatever he was contained in. Then he gets arrested because he had search warrants out for him in Texas and he was prohibited from being in New York.
Can someone recap me on this story, because i dont know if this is true or what?!
Quote:September 11, 2003 - THQ announced today that the company has entered into an exclusive multi-title Game Boy Advance co-publishing agreement with SEGA Europe Ltd., similar to the deal THQ previously had with Sega of America. In the deal, THQ will co-publish three titles based on the popular Sonic the HedgehogTM franchise, including Sonic Pinball Party, Sonic Battle, and Sonic Advance 3, as well as Shining Soul II and Shining Force, across Europe, Australia and other international territories beginning with Sonic Pinball Party in winter 2003.
This announcement confirms two previously unannounced GBA games: Sonic Advance 3 and Shining Force. It's clear what Sonic Advance 3 will be, but it's assumed that Shining Force will be a continuation or remake of the strategy RPG game produced by Camelot (then known as Sonic Software Planning) on the Sega Genesis. Camelot is the development studio currently known for its Golden Sun series on the Game Boy Advance. No announcement has been made regarding the development team handling Shining Force on the GBA.
Expect more on Sonic Advance 3 and Shining Force for the Game Boy Advance at the Tokyo Game Show, which begins September 26th.
-- Craig Harris
Sonic Advance 3 is great (albeit expected) news as the first two games were great, and Shining Soul 2 could be cool if it addresses the reported problems with the first game. The best news however is the announcement of Shining Force for the GBA! For any of you that haven't had the chance to play a Shining Force game, it's a really fantastic strategy RPG series that's long overdue for a sequel. Woohoo!!
Perhaps Sega will do us all a favor while they're at it and release all three parts of Shining Force III (only part one was released for the Saturn in the U.S.) over here.
Here's the thread to remember the only thing I could possibly BE asking us all to remember on today's date. To be honest it completely caught me off guard that today existed.
