Undisputed fact.

I think girls with some tattoos are sexy. But not covered with them.

I don't think girls with tattoos are automatically sexy. I think there are trashy, unattractive tattoos (Janine Lindenmulder) and understated, sexy ones.

That's why I specified in my original post; "sexy tattoos" instead of "nasty tattoos."

I got a Genesis shelf and a whole bunch of Genesis games free today. I had all of them except for Math Blaster, the Ooze, Super Street Fighter II, and Sub Terrania, but I'm really glad I got the shelf. He had a system too but the Power Brick was torn into, and the controllers buttons sucked, one of the controllers wires was torn into as well. So I'm not taking that, don't need more 3-button controllers and another Genesis II with only half the cables. It took me long enough to find the RF switch for my other extra Genesis. I wish I could take a picture of the shelf, but I don't have a camera with me and my phone is lost. I'll have a picture of the shelf by Monday.

Here's a picture of the shelf (those are all my games on it, not ones that I just got save for MMPR and Street Fighter II). We had to gorilla glue clamp one of the corners as it was coming apart and in the process ended up snapping off two of the standouts that separate the games while trying to fit on a too small clamp, so we glued them back on and used a rubber band and staple instead to clamp it. Luckily they aren't noticeable really, can't see it at all with the games in. We decided to leave the ones that we already have save for Sonic and Knuckles, a Black Game Genie (I have the gold one) and a Sonic the Hedgehog cart that didn't have the NFR sign on it. So in the end I ended up with the shelf and these games:

Math Blaster
Super Street Fighter II
Sub Terrania
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic and Knuckles
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
The Ooze
NHL Hockey '95 (Sega Sports)
Black Game Genie and codebook
And a Ms. Pac-man Box.

All for Free. It was a pretty good haul tbh. Now I can actually store my Genesis games in an efficient place where they can be seen, rather than a drawer.

A hot girl with a tattoo is like a pothole on an otherwise smooth road. Not my cup of jo.

What the heck was that?

It all depends to me. Tramp stamps are totally off putting to me, especially tribal ones. Also the girly styled skulls and stuff like that look totally ridiculous to me. Other than those 2 exceptions some girls that are just ok before turn into real head turners when they add on a nice half sleeve.

Ghostbusters ($20 new):

The Transformers: The Complete First Season ($20 new):


I also downloaded the arcade Space Harrier from the Wii Virtual Console Arcade. The sound emulation can be buggy at times, and there is slow down on some of the boss battles.

[AD2101]

nice. I just got a message from Dan Aykroyd personally calling me to let me know that my copy of Ghostbusters will be in tomorrow. I'm *really* hoping this is game is going to be fun.

[Joe Redifer]

A recording of Dan Ackroyd called you.

Also, avoid this movie if you hate film grain. This movie has tons of it. It's the nature of the beast due to the film stock they chose to shoot the movie on. It has nothing to do with this movie being "old" so I don't wanna hear any bitchin'!

Is the game due out tomorrow? I will pick up the Blu-ray tomorrow if I am awake enough.

It's a guy with a black heart masturbating. He lives in any muslim land where it causes death penalty. So then he reaches god after they execute him. <- My theory.

[Vyse of Arcadia]

Picked up Black Sigil and Knights in the Nightmare. Both are enjoyable so far, but KitN much more so. BS has a bit of a high encounter rate and although I'm enjoying the setup to the story, nothing's really grabbed me yet.

Nailed it!

You ain't kidding about the film grain in this movie, but I'll take that over any kind of applied DNR any day. One thing that's bugging me about the movie is the aspect ratio. The blu-ray versions aspect ratio is 2.40:1, but when checking out IMDB they state the movies original aspect ratio as 2.20:1. What the heck is going on here? Am I missing screen information from the sides and top/bottom?

[Joe Redifer]

I agree with you about the film grain vs DNR issue.

Did you measure the aspect ratio yourself or are you just going by what is on the back of the box? Never trust the box! Don't make me scan the regular DVDs of Ghostbusters 1 and 2. It was waaaay wrong! So wrong that I almost didn't buy it. Anyway, I have never known an actual scope movie to be less than 2.35:1. It was 2.35 for the longest time, then 2.39 and now 2.40. The difference is very marginal. IMDB is probably wrong unless the sides of the actual film were pillarboxed.
