    It's amazing how long people still play these retro games. Emulators make it easy for non-fanatics(like me) to pick up SMB3 or Super Contra and play a bit.

    Will today's games last that long, or will it be that much harder to enjoy them years from now because of the extra difficulty of creating a emu for them.

    That's awesome. Takes me back 25 years to when, 25 years? Half a century? OK, now I'm depressed..

    Half-century eh? Well, they say the mind is the first thing to go ... :).

    I'm turning 24 in a month. Way to make me feel old.

    Wow, it definitely is a slow news day. Especially since the #1 terrorist leader in Iraq was killed.

    Wait, Rumsfeld visited Iraq today? *ducks*

    Hmm... I guess I'll stick with "I make almost 6 digits a year".
    So that would be... six minus one... uh... carry the eleventeen... 5 digits?
