@ furrykef	:	(24 July 2015 - 11:25 AM) Also I still have to figure out how to set up our e-mail accounts on the new host.
@ furrykef	:	(24 July 2015 - 08:19 AM) As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.
@ Uncle Ben	:	(24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM) So when's the black theme coming back??
@ Uncle Ben	:	(24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM) "Should"
@ furrykef	:	(24 July 2015 - 07:27 AM) That DNS took longer to propagate properly than I thought it would. Now we should be back for good, though.
@ furrykef	:	(23 July 2015 - 08:48 PM) Or it might be because Bluehost finally got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.
@ furrykef	:	(23 July 2015 - 08:08 PM) Looks like Bluehost yanked our DNS since our hosting account expired. That's why the site went down a while ago. But as you can see, it's fixed now.
@ Misk	:	(23 July 2015 - 04:55 PM) No, they do not.
@ furrykef	:	(23 July 2015 - 04:27 AM) The goggles do nothing?
@ Misk	:	(22 July 2015 - 05:50 PM) My eyes.
@ furrykef	:	(22 July 2015 - 12:24 PM) Looks like forum uploads might have been broken since last night. That should be fixed now too.
@ furrykef	:	(22 July 2015 - 01:33 AM) Heh, whoops! Server went down for a few mins when I borked the config. Looks like it's back up now.
@ Uncle Ben	:	(21 July 2015 - 09:09 PM) It looked like a napkin
@ ILOVEVHS	:	(21 July 2015 - 09:04 PM) Fan-fuckin-tastic.
@ furrykef	:	(21 July 2015 - 08:25 PM) As for the beaver picture while the forum was down, I think Tim drew it. On a napkin.
@ furrykef	:	(21 July 2015 - 08:24 PM) No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am so mad at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they still haven't answered it!
@ Uncle Ben	:	(21 July 2015 - 06:37 PM) Maybe he did that himself
@ Shadow	:	(21 July 2015 - 05:25 PM) Say, who made the cute picture of Beaver Chief?
@ Shadow	:	(21 July 2015 - 05:24 PM) Finally!
@ RedMenace	:	(21 July 2015 - 05:02 PM) Woooo! The site's back up! Three cheers for Kef!

PC: My PC came with several games and I don't know which I played first. No doubt one of the things that came with the Packard Bell Navigator.
NES: Super Mario Bros. -- first played it in preschool. As in, at the school. Nintendo gave a bunch of NESes away to a bunch of daycare centers and preschools as a promotional strategy. It worked.
SNES: Super Mario World
Game Boy: Super Mario Land is almost certainly the first one I ever played, but Tetris is probably the first one I played when I got my own.
Super Game Boy: Donkey Kong '94
Game Boy Color: Game & Watch Gallery 2 (which is also a GB and SGB game)
Genesis: Sonic 1 was almost certainly the first one I played, but not the first one I owned. I'm guessing when I got my Genesis, I played either Sonic 2 or Sonic 3 first. Not sure.
N64: Super Mario 64
Playstation: Final Fantasy Origins, I think. (I've never had a Playstation, but I do have a legal copy of this game and I've played it in an emulator.)
Nintendo DS: Probably Yoshi Touch & Go
Xbox 360: Spelunky (though it's really my stepdad's Xbox 360)

I think that's all of 'em.

Commodore 128 - Leather goddesses of Phobos/A Mind Forever Voyaging

I love, love, love A Mind Forever Voyaging.

As for LGoP... either you were too young to be playing that, or you're a collector of retro stuff, or you're old as shit.

#187160 Original Voice Actor For "miles 'tails' Prower" Dies At 31 -...

Posted by furrykef on 05 December 2013 - 01:40 PM

Good news, everyone! Not only are you now reading this in Prof. Farnsworth's voice, but Tails is definitely not dead! Or at least he's not the guy who died the other day. Carry on, everyone.

Well, as a student of Japanese, I recognize "tsume" as "claw", so it seems pretty obvious to me.

I think it's stuff like this that keeps people from taking comic books seriously.

#183645 Archie Sonic Changes: Don't Blame Ian Flynn

Posted by furrykef on 24 October 2013 - 01:18 AM

I remember renting ALttP as a kid -- I think I rented it twice before I finally had my own copy. I've never had another experience that was like playing this game; Link's Awakening is the only other thing that comes even close. This world seemed so vast, with so many mysteries. What was this item for? How do I lift these rocks? How do I get past this stake? What's behind it, anyway? Why is there a guy in the grove who disappears when you get near him? (Actually, that's still a good question... although you do learn what happened to him, it's still a mystery why he manifests in the Light World.)

Today there are games like Skyrim that make ALttP look like nothing, and yet, they cannot inspire even a fraction of the wonder that ALttP did at the time. I guess I've gotten jaded.

Humans didn't evolve from monkeys. They evolved from apes.

And apes are plenty badass if you ask me. You wanna argue with a 400-pound gorilla?

Take away our technology and we're food for just about everything that eats meat.

That's only for us so-called "civilized" people, who haven't had to survive in the wild for hundreds of years and so most of us have forgotten how. But there are still hunter-gatherer societies in places like the Amazon and Africa where people use very little technology and they do just fine.

I do think it'd be interesting to consider the idea of sentient dinosaurs. Hell, who's to say they weren't? We don't have any evidence of tools or structures used by dinosaurs, but that doesn't necessarily mean they didn't develop some form of language.

#182589 Why The Sega Sonic Fans Hate Sally?

Posted by furrykef on 10 October 2013 - 03:38 PM

I dunno. I think the dynamic between Sonic and Sally is meant to be that Sally is the brains and Sonic is the brawn (just in the form of speed rather than sheer strength). So it's only natural that Sally tends to come out on top in intellectual matters, but Sonic still gets shit done. It's clear that the Freedom Fighters would be sunk if it weren't for either one of them, and in that respect I think they are well balanced.

I've long realized this. The older generation always facepalms at the younger one.

I remember a moment not too long ago when there were some people singing a song on TV, and my grandfather complained about today's music and how it doesn't make any sense. The song was a faithful cover of "Would I Lie To You?" by Eurythmics. Which was originally from 1985.

As for songs that don't make any sense, I'd sing Louie Louie right back at him, except even that is more modern than what he prefers.

#180690 Science Vs. Religion. This Topic Is Locked Indefinately

Posted by furrykef on 07 September 2013 - 08:17 PM

The game Afterlife (where you run Heaven and Hell, but not Earth, SimCity-style) had a humorous take on this, with both realms populated with lots of "rocks too heavy to lift" (basically non-removable obstacles). Pretty funny until you notice how much these things make it a pain to design your cities. The game's worth a play for a while; just don't expect to have the patience to actually win.
