Welcome to my newly designed blog! That goofy character up there in the banner is the main character in my newest favorite anime, Niea_7 (Nee-yah Under 7). She's a naughty, lazy, freeloading alien who sometimes collects junk with which she makes UFOs. Hehe. This design update was made on the last day of August. The 'Ber months are here! Christmas is around the corner! Anyway, thanks to John's NieA_7 Shrine for the image! |

Another day passed without me getting inspired. How terrible, huh? It's after midnight and I'm still online researching for my segment on Dtour. This is something I enjoy, though. Finding out about new things. Am supposed to do a segment on emulators. There's an issue about them emus, though. Copyright issues regarding those ROMs. Oh well, maybe we can qualify the downloads. I think it really would be nice to be able to play old games. If I get hooked on a new game or an old game, I really will be a desktop monster. As if I'm not one already. From my research, this MAME (Multi Arcade Machine Emulator) is pretty popular among gamers. I think I'll succumb to the temptation and download it. Ahh...space invaders, here I come. And PacMan. Those were the days -- when my gadget-envy first came to be. A lot of my friends had Atari consoles. And all I had were Game N' Watch games (Popeye and Egg) which was pretty cool, too, but Atari...now, that was a real trip. There are PC versions of old games, though, that don't need emus. They're downloadable from these sites: Home of the Underdogs, and Classic Gaming (but you have to sift through the games that do need emus). And hey, you can still play them GameNWatch games on your PC. I've got Popeye and Octopus right here. I also have Blockout, a cool game much like Tetris but in 3D. Give it a shot! Download it here. Just unzip the files and click on the .exe and off you go.
