I used to run "Operation Cyber Prometheus", at ocprometheus.org, a tech web portal (circa 1996) featuring links to any tech material that existed on the net, which I left to die when search engines started getting more popular and updating links manually grew too tedious a process:)
If you check that url, you'll see someone else registered it to capitalize on the name, it still exists. And guess where hardOCP got their name from too;)
And now Project Prometheus? Coincidence? I THINK NOT! They stole my name! Well I guess Project Prometheus is a rather generic name..
Did I mention how I got Google started too? Well I'm kidding about that, former is 100% true however. Oh well, maybe someone cares somewhere.
lool yea, can't believe the freek still shops at K-mart what an ass.
Sucks even more that diz freek is sum kind of world famous multigazilionaire sumabeetch with 40ish games attached to his name, sum asocial degenerate who wasted half his life contributing to life by creating fantastic fantasy worlds, entertaining and dazzling many since 1979.
Sum reject who'll end up going down in video game history, quietly and comfortably passing away from his giant 25,000-square-foot-estate-up-ur-psycho-azz-castle.
Then there's you, from fvcktard city, who don't dress like a fairy but has nothing worthy to say.
Well sh*t the bed, howdy folks said Captain Spaulding. lool
Gamespot.com has some nice EQ II movies. It looks looks amazing, with Half Life 2 type graphics/anim. Hopefully the whole package is more than a simple eye candy upgrade. Dragons as I've seen them look incredibly "realistic", my jaw dropped to the floor when I first saw the animation. Many prescripted action sequences like ground shaking effects and whatever else have been added. Release date Nov 03. Horizons, another promising RPG shipping Sep 03
Two most impressive arcades I've seen: The lavish one at Piccadilly Circus in London, the gigantic one in Disneyland Florida (felt as big as a football field, a while back). Vegas probably has a few nice ones
Lately I've been trying some of the older 80-90s arcade classics via MAME, with cheats on, to preview game endings. Suffice to say, most are cheesy, mundane and typo filled:) You get the feeling these games were hastingly designed first as money making scheme, not work of arts. Still, there's quality to be found if you dig deep enough.
I noticed one common recurring theme: They all had Japanese credits at the end. Another thing I learned is how common quirky and hilarious english nicknames are in Japanese society, Muscle Ayagashi, TheMilk Yayamushi, Brain Yoshi, BigBoss Yogamoto and so on, weird, completely hilarious monickers. Endings are worth seeing for these alone:)
Japan is huge in the arcade scene, I had never grasped the full extent of it before; they pretty much made the arcade world as we know it.
Donkey Kong, Gradius, Time Pilots, Mr Do, Dig Dug, Pacman, Galaga, Galaxian, Commando, Contra, Ikari Warriors, Black Tiger, Gauntlet, Spy Hunter, Bad Dudes vs Dragonninja, Trojan, DoDonpachi, Mars Matrix, Ghouls N Ghosts, Double Dragon, Final fight, Golden Axe, ~4000 others = Japanese.
Funny thing as I was grewing up I never pictured these to have originated anywhere else than North America, for some reason
Coffee makes us speedy, irritable, sleepless, and often causes heartburn or ulcers. The removal of caffeine is supposed to reduce some of these undesirable effects. Coffee is an addicting beverage. If you consume more than 2 cups per day, you are likely to experience unpleasant withdrawal if you stop. The minimal suffering includes a headache, irritability, and fatigue. The popular ideas that the bad effects of coffee are caused by one chemical, caffeine, is misleading. The 800 or so other chemicals in coffee include aromatic or phenolic chemicals and many are probably neurotoxic; other chemicals are allergenic. Coffee is also a crop with pesticide residues. Coffee can be allergenic and makes some people obviously sick. Chlorogenic acid is one of the allergens which coffee shares with oranges.
Tea and coffee have much in common, although they different plant products from different geographic zones. Tea contains caffeine and other members of the drug family, methyxanthines. Tea also contains tannin, a good tanning agent. The caffeine dose in a cup of coffee ranges from 100 to 160 mg. A cup of tea has 20-60 mg and 12 ounces of regular Coca Cola has 45 mg of caffeine. The symptom complex produced by tea parallels coffee. Chronic heavy tea- users have sometimes been nicknamed Tuffers. Teas are addicting and are allergenic.
Daily coffee or tea ingestion induces a 24 hour cyclic disturbance with morning arousal, irritability, difficulty concentrating, subtle levels of disorganization, clumsiness, and forgetfulness. As the day progresses, 2 or more cups later, a heavy fatigue sets in by mid to late afternoon. Further coffee doses may rouse one a bit, but then further collapse is inevitable by evening. Irritability may evolve into disproportionate or inappropriate angry outbursts, pleasure-loss, absence of good-feelings, or empathy anesthesia. It is likely that the subtle pyschopathology of moderate to heavy coffee consumption contributes to the production of unnecessary conflict and dysphoria. The subtle cognitive and memory deficits which appear after coffee intake should alarm employers who expect their employees to think, remember, or carry out skilled, coordinated acts. It may be that coffee and tea intake facilitates dull, routine, rote tasks where thinking, skill, and initiative are unimportant. The cognitive and emotional defects of the coffee-drinker should also alarm a spouse or close family member who cannot understand why the relationship is not working. Until you consider coffee and other food-factors, mental and emotional disturbances may be totally mystifiying. Early sleep may be denied the infrequent coffee user. The chronic coffee-used may go to sleep readily but sleeps poorly and awakens feeling tired and mentally clouded. Morning fatigue demands more coffee to get going. A familiar recursive loop is established following the familiar addictive sequence.
If you begin in a clear state with no symptoms and a clear mind, the ingestion of even one cup of coffee will often produce a marked and undesirable effect. The sustained ingestion of even small amounts of coffee seems to produce a subtle psychopathology. The chronic coffee user risks a variety of physical and mental disabilities, especially coffee-user-fog. If your Cuffer spouse, employer, employee, or best friend seems irritable, obtuse, unduly nasty, or depressed, nurse them through the three-day- withdrawal headache and serve nice cups of hot water instead. Coffee substitutes are definitely not recommended. Many ex-cuffers find that a "nice cup of hot water" becomes a suitable drink. Others switch to light consume, soup, or hot water, lightly flavored with lemon and honey.
I've had the same problems and found some decent solutions, over the years. This has helped immensely:
1) Cut.caffeine.cold. This is the worst offender by far, this nice psychotropic drug we geeks commonly overuse. It does a nice job of severely restricting blood to your arms (worsening and/or creating RSI/CTS whichever) and drying up eyes to an insane degree. It also makes you bitter, but that's another story. #1 problem.
2) Minimizing screen reflections, getting a nice anti-screen artifact, helps with viewing
3) Eye Pills. Mighty powerful herb, can clear up to alcoholic level red eye syndrome in 20-30 mns. Your eyes will go bloodshot red to pure white. Guaranteed, plus 100% natural. Take 2-4 pills as needed, 2-3 times a week. Helps improve vision slightly as well. This heals your eyes, not a quick fix solution only.
4) Cod Liver Oil pills. These seal off the moisture in your eyes, helping bringing that healthy white eye look (esp useful in winter with the harsh, cold winds). Use as needed, 2-3 times per week. Make sure you get da pills version, not the bottle one:)
5) Carrots. No kidding, these boost color perception and overall brightness. Makes video games look killer as well (same as eyebrights, minus red cleansing properties). Karrot Top!
6) Avoid Visine eye drops. Avoid all of them. Useless, only designed as a habit forming money wasting scheme. They have harmful agents which do provide temporary relief only to worsen your condition over time, very fast. Ask any doctor. Use "artificial" neutral-tear like drops if you must, I'd suggest using none at all and doing steps 1-5. Say no to eye drops. You don't wanna end up like Jimmy the security guard, trust me.
7) Take a 2 mns eye/wrist break every XX mns (30 mns here). This helps. Focusing on distant object as well to maintain good eyesight (starring at a close object is what worsen myopia).
8) Ocular Rosacae? This is an eye disorder which makes your eyes red, and gritty, all the time. Small % of the pop has this [red tomato face?:) Look this up, it is tied to this].
That's it. I've read up on this, this is the best advice I have. Try it, and tell the world Johnny. You'll see how well this works.
And lasik eye surgery rocks for those still stuck with coke bottles glasses (although they are making a trendy comeback lately)

The pyramid in the eye logo is a Masonic symbol, which officially has no connection to the Illuminati, an order that doesn't exist anymore. The Free Mason Society is alive however.
That logo is also found on your US $1 bills. You may want to look up "free mason" in google for further details. Quite scary:)
I've also seen it in a weather report on CNN just last friday (anyone recall it? probably not). It was there, pyramid in the eye logo during. Real weird. lol.
