And so it begins…
I started my senior year last week on Tuesday, of all days, which just shows how bizarre my school district is. The week started off crappy, got better, got worse, and now slowly evening out by slightly getting better. Unfortunately one major problem looms over all of us this year… they banned electronics! My friends and I were throwing around the idea of a making a wax tube phonograph(analog FTW!) - and I wouldn’t mind going through with it being deprived of music - but I don’t think it’ll ever happen. It seems I’ll just have to run home and cram music into every second I’m at my computer. I should probably get a better amplifier too, I’m currently using an alarm clock as my amp. Speakers would be nice too… I need money.
I spent most of my recently acquired money on this Dreamcast. Totally worth it, but a curse at the same time. If only I had this console before school started. I have no excuses for not turning in homework when I have 15+ hours logged into Grandia 2 already(4 days?)…. and that’s just Grandia 2. I haven’t been posting at DS-X2 either(oh yea I never mentioned that here in the first place, now you know!) and I recently saw all the Level5 stuff on NeoGAF before the internet went crazy with it the next day(thanks to my messed up sleeping pattern). Didn’t feel like posting it and played Dreamcast instead - actually I went to bed, but it influenced the laziness. As my Dreamcast collection grows, so does my homework collection. Here’s what I got with my DC BTW:
-Dreamcast model 2(made in China) - pre October(?) firmware update and speedy samsung(?) GD-rom dirve.(?=not 100% sure)
-Two controllers - Both first party, and with smooth analog sticks in good condition.
-Two VMUs - One regular Grey, the other is transparent green(I love it!)
-Standard AV and power cables.
The real killer is I went out and bought a VGA box so I can play my games in beautiful 480P on my bulky CRT monitor. It looks great and the CRT is easier to flip into tate mode(3:4) than a huge TV. However I noticed some slight screen burning that had apparently been there under my nose the whole time. Not enough to make me get another CRT, in fact my parents already hate my current CRT(Nag: It’s too big! It generates heat! bla bla bla!) so that won’t be happening anytime soon.
Randomness:
Classic.
