Wow... that was a big earthquake we had yesterday...  At first I thought it was people running through the school hallway, then it shook harder.  My Japanese teacher yelled "Get down!" and a student yelled "Oh s*$&!" and we all dived under our desk.  It was cool.  Luckily, we didn't get much damage except for a crack in the weight room and a few fallen lights and no one was hurt.  Quite an experience. - Joltz

Just got back from choir contest, my school got a "Sweepstakes" trophy, which means we got the best rating possible in every category...  our school has never gotten that rating before, ever, so we made history tonight.  :)

And I picked up two beautiful seniors (HS seniors, not 65+...), and carried them to the bus with me...  :)  Life is good. - Aaron J.

Ah, yes, CNN.  How I hate thee.  I actually prefer MSNBC or, since we only recently had it added to our cable lineup (and it's a fuzzy picture, no less), FOX News channel.  Why?  Because those anchors over at Fox News laugh a lot.  Not during the tragedy, mind you, but during the regular newscasts they act like a bunch of friends talking about news over a meal at Taco Bell.  

Reporter 1: "So, how 'bout that tax plan Bush has?"  
Reporter 2: "Eh, it's alright.  I suppose it's better than nothing.  You tasted these Chalupa things?"
Reporter 1: "No, no I haven't.  And Clinton...doesn't this man ever go away?"
Reporter 2: "Mawhaughahgamaa."
Reporter 1: "What?"
Reporter 2: "I said, holy crap, this Chaco Taco's good."
Reporter 1: "We'll be right back."

As for Clinton...he did his job.  He did it to the extent that nothing just blew up in our faces.  Except for his own actions.  God...just remember, the man's married to Hillary.  Isn't he being punished enough? - Jethro McBiggun

February 27 is (was) also the 5-year anniversary of Pokémon's debut in Japan. Coincidence...? - Axem Blue

clinton may have had a horrible social life,but:

1.i am sure there were a lot of presidents that have done stuff like that and had it never come out into the public.that doesnt make it right,it just makes him the unlucky one to be caught.

2.even if you didnt like him,you gotta admit he got a lot accomplished.better than bush senior.a lot better.

im not paricularly fond of bushes.america has enough shrubbery without unneeded vegetation growing in our political offices.

no offense personally of course,i know your a bush supporter.i just...dont like them. - titan25

Even worse about Clinton, my teacher is a political junky and had these papers with all these people killed under the Clinton Administration, like for knowing too much. One guy "committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head" That guy is just NOT COOL! - Aipom

Actually things on the richter scale are measured a little different than you think.  A 1.0 on the richter scale is one tenth as powerfull as a 2.0.  A 3.0 is ten times more powerful than a 2.0 and so forth.  So while the earth quake in India was only .7 points higher it was in actually much much more powerful. - Beefy_B the all knowing

If you could have only one, which would you take: GBA with one game of your choice or GameCube with three? - hakarl

For those who think Pokemon will never get on the Cartoon 
Network.... well... see for yourself...

Maybe I'm terribly out of the loop, but what do L33T and SuX0rs mean? - Flaming Moose

Did I tell you I beat Metal Gear without being seen?  Well, I found out what it unlocks...VERY HARD MODE!  Whoohoo!  Now you must all perform the same feat so you can complete the cartridge!  Bwa-ha-ha!

ps. go to SNOWFLAKE! - Flaming Moose

Well, there IS a God! I just looked @ Buy the Best, and there was a pic for Tilt n' Tumble! I checked it out, and Lo and Behold, the game is DEFINATELY GOING TO BE KIRBY!!! It comes out in April... ^_^

I guess NOA just didn't have the time/talent to make it PKMn themed...

One question for everyone: Which is the best fighting game for GB? I can't decide what to get next: SF2, MKII, Toshinden, or KoF '95. I need your opinion!!! either that, or I turn to GORE for help! - Super SaiyaMew

Sneaky and snaky, but not to be outdone, I hail the mighty DMG ICE for its irreverent island nature. A moment's drop down proves the suspected: FOY IS EVERYWHERE! and that's not necessarily a bad thing... Forward you go! - DK  2-24-01

Remember me Phillip?
Watch watch you say on here or who will be faced with a big fat law suit!  This is your only warning! - Pettet

Philip, what are you playing on your gameboy right now? - pikamom

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US - Boco316

Well thanks to you Philip, now I am a Sluggy fan. (www.sluggy.com) It only took me a couple of days (of nothing but work, sleep and reading) but I finally got through all the archives. Damn, what a great comic. The best thing? Anytime something weird happens it actually happens. Unlike comics like Alice! where all the weird stuff is just fantasy, or like in PvP where the weird stuff is one shot 'look we're breaking the fourth wall!' type things.

Sluggy Freelance quickly rose to one the top 5 comics I read. (in no particular order, PvP, Megatokyo, Exploitation Now, Tang's weekly, Sluggy Freelance. Also, I enjoy Kevin and Kell, Thin H line, RPG world, Adventures!, Life on Forbez, Sinfest, Narbonic and a couple of others too)

Second best thing about Sluggy Freelance is Oasis. ^^ Worst thing, is Shirt Guy Tom. ^_- (hm.. reminds me of Dom art day at Megatokyo... hm...)

Oh, and a question for Philip. When people send you multiple Viral Speaks, how do you decide which one to post/comment on? - Orochi p_fish (would date Oasis)

"She left the car in the driveway,
She left the key in the door.
She left the kid at her momma's,
And the laundry piled up on the floor.

She left the ring on the pillow,
Right where it wouldn't be missed.
She left the note in the kitchen,
Next to the grocery list."

It said, "I'll bet you don't even notice that I'm gone. All you've done is stare at that clock of yours. Who cares about this Gameboy Advanced toy? You have a serious addiction and need professional help."

(apologies to Miss Patty Loveless) - Orochi p_fish

I've been violated...  the school rejected my essay on America's Freedom because it was 'Anti-American'.  Didn't that kind of thing end with the Truman era?

----------------------------------
Are We Losing Our Freedom?

Are we losing our freedom? Or did we ever have it in the first place? Technically, we are free from imperialism (rule by another country) and dictatorship (rule by a single tyrant). We are free in the respect that we are not under physical restraint. But when was the last time we were truly free? Do we not have to schedule our lives around people of higher rule? Do I have the freedom to decide that my life is going in a bad direction and leave school to start a business? That is not a good choice if I want my parent to remain free from a prison.

For true freedom to be obtained, we would need to be free from the ties of our government that bind us to the ground. We need the freedom to earn an honest paycheck without giving an entire fourth of our money to the government. We need the freedom to open a business on any part of town we want without zoning regulations getting in our way. America as a country is not free. As the classic-rock band Kansas stated, "Freedom is just words." A man owed 10 cents to the IRS and did not pay it, thinking that such a trivial amount was of no concern. He forgot all about the situation until approximately eight years later when a S.W.A.T. team van parked in front of his house and armed soldiers jumped out to claim the ten cents plus interest, which had ballooned into thousands of dollars in penalties, fines, and interest. Is this a free country?

Do we deserve true freedom? Can we handle true freedom? We have already lost our freedom by definition. How would these United States manage to live without being led every step of the way? At this point in time, we are so used to our government holding our hands us that we could not live a life without them. If we are out of work, we turn to them for unemployment checks. If we want our children to be educated, we put them in a freeof-cost public education facility. However, if we don't want our children to be educated, we have no other choice. But do we want another choice? We have been nurtured under Uncle Sam's wing for so long there is no other way to live. All of our efforts to be free are in vain. Most of us don't even remember that we took away the Native Americans' freedom the day we met them. Now they live on reservations without the basic rights that we have. The liberties that remain diminish every day of our lives, and all of our efforts to remain free are in vain, unless the world changes drastically. Freedom is just words. - Aaron J.

Hey guys!

I am really itching to get my Fanfic back online, and since DMG Ice is taking its time. I decided to make my own page where I'll put up the chapters from now on! It's at http://www.angelfire.com/ma2/toonami/newjourney.html and right now it has Chapters 1-10 of "A New Journey" as of 2/19. I'll finish off "A New Journey" by the week's end, then I'll start on "A Brand New Journey". - Duke

mmmmm, Virtual On: Oratio Tangram...  is awesome, but it has flawed controls.  I loved the original in the arcade so much, that I plan on getting an import of the twin sticks. mmmmmmmm... twin sticks...

yes, the dreamcast may be dying... however, it certainly had some of the most awesome games in its limited run.  I still play them, and will likely continue to play on my dreamcast long after its official death.  the only other 'dead' console I do that with is my SNES, which I would tie with dreamcast as best "non-portable" video game console, based on the games that were released for them.  yeah, I know this is a game boy site, but I had to vent my frothy madness. - Allison-Axe

i r play starcraft again now.
 

i r=happy. - jumbo

What's the catch 'em thing? I don't get it.

Anyways, what's the deal with Yaumauchi or whatever his name is... I mean, I gotta give him some credit, but I read he said that they hope to make Pokemon like the Disney franchises, and his plan for expanding Nintendo is to make 10 Pokemon stores in cities worldwide that sell very expensive unique merchandise.. and that is his plan for making Nintendo the King Company again. I don't think they need Pokemon... they have great in house game-making... their next-gen hardware is easy to develop games for and quality made... their the only company with major shares of both the home console and handheld market... if they just concentrated on making GOOD games and making sure companies make GOOD games for their consoles they would be fine... which seems to happening on the GBA. But I haven't heard about many titles for the cube... I KNOW they have to be good, but a PSX approach wouldn't be too bad here... becuase I know n64's games are better than Sony's but let's face it their just weren't enough... I'm glad Nintendo has the GBA becuase I love the big N and I love their franchises and the GBA is their survival insurance. I probably won't even buy another console except maybe the dreamcast.... handheld gaming is just too good.  Also, for all those wackos who say every PS2 game sucks, FIFA 2001 doesn't suck... it just isn't the best game ever... I enjoyed it... The XBox is gonna be like the Jaguar.. sweet, maybe, but only nutcases will buy it... they'll never move any good volume on the games, and therefore it will fail.  Cheers to Nintendo for making the GBA 90 and the games 30. They know their business. 

Well didn't mean to write a letter, but I've been reading crap in Newsweek and such about the video game industry and those people don't know what they're talking about, they don't possess any understanding at all.  My prediction: A tough battle between Cube and PS2 simlar to Genesis/Super NES, with Nintendo eventually winning if Yamauchi's replacement is reasonably good/smart/resourceful.

Also, who cares about politics. ALl them dudes do anyways is talk. Talk is cheap! And so are GBA games like Mario Kart Advance! *dances* - Johnny One Foot

Oh, bad news.  You know how cool Alone In The Dark looked in those early screen-shots?  Those early screens were apparently from the intro to the game, and the in game screens I have seen indicate that the game will be nothing but a top down action adventure!  The graphics in the pictures I've seen are NOT high quality as in the earlier pics.  I guess any hope for a Resident Evil Type of game for the Gameboy Color has been dashed.  Well I guess we can pray that Capcom chooses to do that game on the GBA... - Cyberxion101

The Tenchi movies rule!  I have them all on DVD and several of the regular series episodes on tape, and I have to say that it is one of the best shows I have seen in awhile.  Ryoko is pretty frightening when Tenchi first encounters her.  Oh and did you know that Tenchi Muyo means No Need For Tenchi?  Muyo in Japanese means 'No Need For', or upside down I believe.  Its wierd, but it works. - Cyberxion101

I wish there was some law that said that it was okay to hurt stupid homophobes. I was at school, minding my own business(whatever that may have been) and this guy came up and told me I was "fruity" because I had pink hair, and therefore I was gay. So I explaned to him that when you bathed regularly(he didn't seem familiar on the subject), that dyed hair tends to fade, and red naturally fades to pink. He just told me I was gay again and then went to do whatever stupid people do with their friends.

Bah. I am sick of the public school system.

Bah - Wonk Hero

For great justice, launch all 'zig'.
