    It's goofy really. Yes, Calvary is there. So is Optimus Prime, Wolverine's claws and the infinity symbol. Awe heck, I'll spill the beans. There is also a Mon (entrance to Japanese temples), the three blades of the sword style I studied, and the five virtues of King David of ancient Israel.
    The Calvary part does stand out the most. Do you regret getting the tatoo?

    Nope, it's actually my wedding ring. I'm just a little less enthusiastic about symbols and myths today than I was back then.

    Button mashing combat gameplay at its best.

    I looked online to re-acquire a 3DO system, I wanted a boxed FZ10 like I used to have, I bought my last one in 2008 and I paid like $50 for it, in the box factory tape sealed. People are asking $189 for loose used systems now...when did this start happening??

    When the economy crashed for some reason gaming and collecting became too rich for my blood.

    Screw that, I had a damn fine 3DO collection I probably shilled out less than $400 for, at this rate I'd be less than a third the way there on that same budget.

    I'd probably be happier with the money anyway.

    Haha, I got Windows 98 running in VirtualBox! Still got a few issues to work out (no sound, no internet), but man am I happy!

    Twice this evening I've nearly made it to the end of Castlevania, and twice the game froze.

    I sure hope the game wasn't damaged when I slammed my work boot down on top of the console with all the force I could muster.

    Reminds me of the time I got sick of my keyboard having an annoying close button on the left of it, I kept accidentally hitting it and it would close pages,
    then one day I had written a rather large post on a forum and accidentally brushed it, I just lost it, yanked it out of the computer and.. kneed it in the back!

    Was like a winter day in winter land, white keys went flying everywhere!
