Welcome / Birthday / Seeya! Forum / Milestone reached!
« on: July 02, 2013, 12:36:01 pm »
For a long time, I actually though I wouldn't live long enough to be 20... and yet here I am, finally on this day. I'm glad to have been wrong all this time. Although... to be honest, it just doesn't feel like much. I don't feel much different from being 19. Well anyway, hopefully I still have a long road ahead of me, and even if not, I'll still make the most out of it.

General Discussion / The hacking of websites...
« on: June 27, 2013, 10:08:17 pm »
I don't know how many have heard already, but it seems that several Pokémon sites were hacked just recently, all done by the same person/group.
Quite personally, I'm worried just how seemingly easy is for someone to break in and steal data. I always make sure to have different passwords for everything and change them at the slightest sign that they could be in danger, but sometimes even with all those precautions I don't feel quite safe...

General Discussion / 2013 and the Sun
« on: January 02, 2013, 01:38:02 am »
I don't know how much the topic is known here, but I decided to bring it up either way.
Now that we are in 2013, our sun is gonna reach it's cyclical peak once again when it comes to levels of activity. This happens like around 11 years on average, but for a long time I've seen many a place noting how in this year, the activity may rise to the point that the solar storms released may become too strong.
While said levels would still be harmless to us, what's dangerous is their effect on our technology. Back in 1859 the storm was so strong it dealt quite some damage to the telegraph lines of North America and Europe. If such a storm where to hit us now, it's effects would undoubtedly be worse considering how much more things rely on electricity in this day and age.
So what do you guys think? That it could happen? That it will? What consequences would bring to civilization as a whole in the worst-case scenario? Got something else to add about? Perhaps even correcting something I may have gotten wrong up there or just to comment on the topic?

Welcome / Birthday / Seeya! Forum / At the ends of the decade...
« on: July 02, 2012, 04:11:04 am »
So July the 2nd rolls by once more, and I turn 19 now.
I must say, this last year has been quite something. College isn't that much tougher as I thought it'd be, but I must admit I haven't done as well as I would've expected. A good deal is my fault willingly and another seems to show that I'm quite into an unfortunate habit of overlooking/forgetting stuff and not so much being not learning stuff. Seems I have a new challenge for the years ahead, but I won't let that slow me down.
Also, just yesterday was very first time participating in something as big as Elections. I voted and all that, but even looking now I doubt the side I voted for is gonna win. It's a bit unfortunate but nothing can be done about it now.
Well, time to go on with life, whatever mishaps and hurdles lies therein. Maybe I'm just that pessimistic, but I think they are gonna out-weight whatever good will be coming this way too.

Welcome / Birthday / Seeya! Forum / My my, finally THAT day...
« on: July 02, 2011, 04:00:53 am »
I'm posting this now in the case I may not have the chance to later, but seeing July the 2nd has just started (at least from my perspective), then better to do it now.
So now it's the time of my 18th Birthday. Man, time sure flies... I've finally finished with High School (though the actual Graduation isn't until two weeks from now), and soon to be in College sometime further down the road. Now that by law I'll be consider an Adult and Citizen, I guess that brings in a whole deal of responsibility that I'll be honest, I'm not really that excited about, but I know I can't just ran away from it, so even if I don't like it, I can't avoid this.
But hey, I've managed with life so far, despite it's ups and downs, so better to face it with a positive attitude than fearing the moment it comes. I may be not fully ready for it yet, even at this point, but then again, who isn't? It's just another stage in life drastically different from the previous one, so I just say:
Bring it!
(Though of course, first it would come the time of celebration. I guess it must come that period of excitement before reality takes over, haha... haaa...
)

General Discussion / Longer YouTube videos?
« on: December 09, 2010, 05:45:24 pm »
So I saw this in another forum, but apperantly, YouTube has allowed several accounts to allow upload of videos longer than the 15-minutes limit. And looks like I got it as well:

And now I turn 17 this day. Wow, time sure flies (though it sure feels like a long wait 
), just one more year and I would be...
Still not yet, though. ... Now I should probably get some sleep... (It's midnight over here at the time of writing
)

General Discussion / This may be not new...
« on: February 20, 2010, 04:52:09 pm »
... but since it wasn't mentioned here (well, as far as I'm aware of, but I don't think it was)...
Anyway, back in August, months after the game Super Robot Wars K was released, only in Japan as it is the nature of the series, there came an announcement of Namco Bandai apologizing for using certain music in the game.
This was one of two (as far as I know, it was only two):

(Notorious after the first 50 seconds)
So yeah...

Here is mentioned announcement.
Translated (not a good one, but it gets the point across):

Just one hour ago or so I turned 16.
I was thinking of posting this, well, an hour ago, or even before that. But here it is anyway, better late than never, as they say.

General Discussion / Another FE hack (This one has Crono)
« on: December 27, 2008, 03:13:20 pm »
Well, many have seen the other thread that is about a Fire Emblem hack that contains Cross characters.
Now, I found another hack, and this one has Crono as a playable character. It is called Devourer of Time, and it has a semi-sequel called Devourer of Worlds. Both are still incomplete, but DoT has a downloadable patch with Eliwood's Story changed and playable. It can be found here:

I think he is the only one who appears.
