FUMBBL Night?
d00d! When should we start FUMBBL night? Lemme know when you have a lazy weeknight. Wednesdays I go to gayme night in SC, but any other night I am good! The Marienburg Rivermen shall ride again!
Also, now is a great time to get into Warmaster again! There are some sellers on ebay selling HUGE lots of armies for cheap. like 6$ a unit-ish. Do it! I also have a pretty sizeable Orc army I picked up along the way in blisters, so if anyone is interested, they can have them IF they make an attempt to paint and play with me...
I busted out my paints last night, and started on a unit of halberdiers! I am back on the wagon!

Recap of Kings Comeback
From a 4 goal deficit in the 3rd (of 3) periods, the Kings scored 5 goals in like 5 minutes, took the lead, then the Stars tied it, pushed it to overtime, and the Kings won. Someone on Letsgokings.com made this storybook ending into a visual recap. I laughed, your results may vary.

OMG, a battery?!?!?
Sheesh. These tech nerd have no limits. I mean, okay, exploiting unpatched versions of games to allow for emu's is fine. Even people writing their own firmware, supar techie, but still fine. Using a fucking BATTERY as an exploit to get around Sorny control of their PSP's?!?!?! These guys are double bacon genius burgers, fo sho.
- To Mike, and anyone else who wants to play around with ASL online, or other Vassal modules, go here and follow the instructions. Then after installing, get skype or some other chat tool (the phone works too) and hit me up so I can walk you through getting it up and running. Then, we play! There is no ASL rulebook online, so you will either need to believe all the shit I lie about while I 'teach' you the game (just ask Rudy), or pick up a copy of Advanced Squad Leader Starter Kit #1, 2, or 3. Get em here!
- Ryan and I, aka the two worst coaches in fantasy hockey, are facing off this week. As are two of the not so greatest coaches, Johnny and Enron. Let's see here, last week I went 0 - 8 - 1, and I think the week before I went 0-9, so as my favorite singer of all time, Howard Jones, sang, "Things can only get better". We shall see my pop singing friend, we shall see.
- I REALLY want to get back into Warmaster. I dug up my remaining units (one unit of halberdiers, xbows, knights, and a hero) as well as a bunch of unopened blisters and the rulebook (including 2002 and 2003 annuals!) and really want to play it again! I loved that game and was sad to see it go so soon before I ever beat Enron and his stupid 4 hit dwarfs... So, is anyone with me? *tumbleweeds* Anyone still have their army kicking around and want to give it a go, and maybe even pick up some new units which are still available on GW.com as well as ebay? *crickets* Warmaster armies LOOK SO COOL and the system rawks!
- So Art (I think, my memory fails me) had these dwarfs for Warhammer that he painted in rather bright, diverse colors that became known as the Rainbow Squad. He took some shit, especially from JP, about them and I don't think ever played with them out of shame. Fast forward to 1999, and George RR Martin steals the idea from Art and puts it right into his brand new book, Clash of Kings, as the Rainbow Guard! I think you should sue, Art.
- FUMBBL anyone? Wanna start that up again?
- WoW anyone? Doc Norvell dropped leatherworking and is now a lvl 189 Miner and 200 Engineer, and is currently trying to mine enough Mithril to get his membership with the Gnome Engineers Guild. Good times.
- I also found my D&D minis, so Enron if you find your dwarfs and play me, I will in turn play you with my old school D&D warbands. Not before. Do it! Can I use my Gargantuan Black Dragon that Denis gave me?
- Thanks Jon and Janice for letting me sleep on your floor! i woke up at 6.30 and hit the road. I also Upper Decked both your toilets before I left. Fortunately you don't need to manually pull the chain in the tank anymore, otherwise you would have to scoop my poop out. Instead, you can just leave it there for the next tenants whenever you move.
- When are you moving up here Ryan? The surf out front has been gangbusters for bodysurfing! Also, James is moving back before June, and Mark Sterner lives I think across the blvd from me in Aptos. Go figure.

This guy is friggin amazing
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2610964813918301633&q=beat+box&total=37767&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=4
I could almost swear, this guy is singing one melody, 1 drum, and 1 base beat at the same time...
There's some other human beat boxes on the google, but by far this guy is the best.
Been watching Gattaca repeatedly... great stuff. Uma thurman was hot in this one. She didn't age well though in Kill bill

Oh man, figuring out Emu/Homebrew shit is damn near impossible for me, BUT I did a lot of research and I guess the main method used nowadays is a thing called a Pandora Battery. Basically you get an old spare battery (the new batteries don't work apparently) then by some process using someones psp with custom firmware you turn that battery into a "pandora battery" which can be used to load custom firmware on ANY psp (fat or new slims.)
You can get em off ebay, or make em or pass them around. Even a dude on youtube who will do it for 10 bucks if you send him a spare battery (he's like a super hack/mod nerd who does all these PSP NEWS vids, and I actually believe the dude would send you the modded battery back.)
So, yeah - not something EASY, but it's possible looks like. I followed some forums and people with new PSPs got it to work.
Something Awful PSP Homebrew Thread. I looked at this shit then vids on Youtube... so yeah, pretty sure POSSIBLE, but definately a project. I'm in no rush. (But if I get/order/make/find a thingy that works, i'll pass it on to you 4 sure)
EDIT: This here site, HERE
is pretty easy on the eyes and seems to explain stuff ok. STILL, we need to find someone rocking custom shit or bribe someone to help us.

Rude: I got a PSP thinking that I was going to be in emu heaven. As it turns out, it is impossible to d/l anything because my firmware is too new. If you got the new slim version, I am afraid you might be in the same boat. I'm not sure about your whole battery deal, but I got some legit games for it (baseball, tony hawk, puzzle fighter, etc.) and I enjoy it fairly well. If you figure it out, please let me know.
As for BSG, I am wondering if the last season will be postponed indefinitely like everything else because of the writer's strike. I know the new season of Lost is going to be postponed 'till at least the summer if not longer, 24 is being postponed indefinitely as well. Most shows are getting the shaft, and I fear BSG might be in the same boat.
Saw Dan in Real Life. Pretty good. Started out kinda slow, but picked up and had a good ending. A little chick-flickish, but that is what I tend to like. Steve Carell could act in just about anything and I'd go see it, except Evan Almighty. Even I have standards.

Yup. Got a PSP! Came with Daxter (platformer - its ok - good graphics but no Mario game thats fer sure) and then I got Final Fantasy Tactics. Cool game. I played the hell out of the GBA version, so not quite sure why I got this haha, but whatever - good material for sittin on the can, so hey. God of War game coming out soon looks really cool and theres some other ones I want.
I'm not gonna jump into the homebrew/emu thing quite yet (besides I need a "pandora battery" from someone whos already running custom firmware, and I just wanna chill b4 trying to figure out the madness of crackin this thing.) But I got loads of GBA roms still on my comp, so whenever I do get around to it, I should be in good shape.
That's one thing holding me back from buying that Sega Genesis collection. Has a ton of games on it (including sonic 1 which rules) and i assume theyre kinda optimized for the psp as opposed to running an emu, but, I dunno. We shall see. Oh, I think u can also rip iso's of ur UMD games to run off your memory card (if u got the 4gb one) so maybe ill go rent crazy and down that route if I ever crack this thing.
BSG: I just watched the Battlestar Galactica movie RAZOR (which I think airs this month on Sci-Fi) and it was very awesome. Good little stand-alone movie based around the Pegasus and its time b4 meeting up with the big G and then when Lee Adama was in charge of it. Mostly stand-alone, but has a few gnarly "bridges" to the end of the series, so MAN, can't wait to see how this shit turns out. I REALLY think its gonna have a bummer/sad ending (in a good way, not dudes flying around los angeles on hover-motorcyles)

Well, I can't look at these links without giving something back, so:

Get your nerd on:
A band gets together in LOTR Online and plays Ave Maria.. I guess you can bind notes to your keyboard keys? Crazy. For what it is, pretty damned impressive!
Ave Maria
And here's one for Nothing Else Matters, pretty well done, actually.
