RIP Motherboard

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Well it seems the motherboard in my computer died on Friday. It wasn’t a good day to boot either so I was really looking forward to just sitting back with some NeoGeo. Also I was chipping away at a massive list of freeware shmups over at “Shoot the core!” I highly recommend you check it out. For now I’m using my old PC with Knoppix since I don’t want to bother with partitions or anything. Er… and I don’t think windows from my Hard drive would run on this thing without re-installing. Or would it? Maybe if I feel brave enough I’ll try, but for now I’m perfectly fine with Knoppix. It’s the easy simple solution right now. Unlike my motherboard RMA….

I’ve got the allergy… radio allergy

GameCube is coming to an end, it’s sad. It had a good run in my opinion and it’s thankfully going out with a bang. Dreamcast port of Radio allergy by Milestone. Weather it’ll be good or not I don’t know, but I’m a sucker for shmups and it’s compatible with my Hori D-pad -so enough said, I now have it on preorder as my last GameCube game. Also turns out there’s a feature being overlooked too… the music! It’s a mixed bag of opinions on the internet, but I love it. It sounds very similar to my favorite genre of Detroit techno(with a video game touch), and I liked the sample page enough to actually buy it. I actually bought the CD! Whoa! Money! Being spent! This is actually part of a personal movement of mine to buy hard-to-find music off the internet. Such as: I Am robot and proud, and 7th Gate. But enough of that, it arrived in the mail today here are some pictures!

Oh and it came with stickers of all game characters but I didn’t take a picture. What should I put them on? …
