Okay. First things first, we know for a fact that there are several separate Links and Zeldas. We know that any set of games whose player characters can clearly be seen to be the same Link have to be chronologically consecutive, no matter the internal order. We also know that the CD-I games don’t count, that was inter-company politics gone horribly wrong.

If examined through the use of a cheating device, Joey’s Rattata really is in the top percent of Rattata, possessing an Adamant nature as well an IV spread of 30 31 29 31 26 30.

This was discussed on #acmlm a while back, and I decided to put a properly written analysis of the whole thing here on Logo Pending.

Yes, folks. After a short bout of boredom, I decided to resolve two final bugs, and added a proper icon to the game. It’s at the same location as always.

That’s the icon right there, btw.

This post also serves a double purpose as a test for Windows Live Writer.

Pass it on, people! He’s a total quack who does not deserve to be called a doctor.

Yep. As a small exercise in DS programming, I ported my earlier puzzle game to the Nintendo DS.

Update: sound effects properly panned now.

That’s what Trapster asked me in the Ask Kawa thread on board2. I was so impressed by the length and depth of my reply, I decided to repost it here.

I think you meant, “if you could be like an anime character”. If I were that character, I wouldn’t really be me anymore.

Imagine if I said Ranma Saotome. If I were Ranma Saotome, I’d be, including the Fiancé Brigade, a piss-poor upbringing and the curse that makes Ranma an interesting answer to give in the first place. I wouldn’t be the same guy I am today, I wouldn’t know any of you guys because I wouldn’t be such a computer whiz. This entire world would be shaken, while the world depicted in Ranma ½ would be no different, assuming I even get to retain this nagging feeling that I’m somehow not Ranma Saotome but Kawa.

If you had asked “if you could be like an anime character” and I said Ranma Saotome, that would mean I’d still be mostly myself, but better looking, good or better at funky-ass martial arts, cursed with the girl or any combination of the three. But I’d still just be Kawa, only with extra aspects. This world would be influenced somewhat, but not as much. I wouldn’t be as frustrated at the lack of pussy for one thing, so that’s less whining about that. And considering I wanted to be like Ranma, I have no right to whine about being cursed with turning into a girl. Ofcourse, world-changing repercussions would be somewhat larger if it were retro-continuous — that is, saying you want to be like Ranma makes you always have been so. History would have to be adjusted and you’ll probably find the non-personal situation hugely different. You probably wouldn’t even be sitting where you were just a moment ago before I “became like Ranma”. On the other hand, if the change were from that moment on, nothing would be retconned and I’d just log in and tell you guys and you’d be like no wai and I send pics or something.

Ofcourse, aside from the more specific effects, any anime character can be substituted.

Today, I went and bought Wii Fit Plus and DDR Hottest Party 2.

Now, DDR3 isn’t out in Europe yet, so I’m afraid it’s no “Pork & Beans” for Chief, but that’s okay. On the other hand, the actions of my Mii in WF+ were quite amusing to me — I act not entirely unlike that in real life, if I’m sufficiently happy. So when for example the game calculated my age as 41 (I’m 26 beyatch) and the little Kawa stooped over, I immediately thought back to last time we discussed old age — guess why?

Note to self: plug DDR controller in FRONTMOST port.

Abrams has explained with the alternate reality set up in Star Trek, it would be “ridiculous to not be open” to ideas like resurrecting William Shatner’s James T. Kirk or recasting Khan Noonien Singh.

My buddy Chief thinks having Khan in Star Trek 12 would, to put it lightly, have the makings of the Best Movie Ever. I tend to agree on this.

Discuss!

The premise is simple — try to clear all 100 boxes in the field.
