Guys, You'll never guess what happened this morning.

[sega fan]

So, In the cafeteria for breakfast, one of my good friends, Nick, came in and earlier this month we were talking about old games and I mentioned I like to collect and clean them. So this morning, Nick walks in the lunch room, he pulls out a big square grey mouse pad with a grid pattern on it with nintendo branded on the bottom corner. An Snes mouse (my first time seeing one) and a copy of Mario Paint. I had never seen any of these before and I was ecstatic to see that he kept these in grat shape. So fast forward to about 4 hours ago, He came over and we popped in Mario Paint. We started animating and composing and all the while he was telling me stories from his memories with his SNES (that he kept with all his games, still has them today) afterward he told me, " You know, Maybe I should also start collecting". That got me happy, I thought to myself that I converted another great person away from shitty Guitar Hero sequels and spinoffs and the wasteland of current gen games (with a few exceptions). He also said that, he'd be happy to sell me games and vice versa because after seeing my closet filled to the rim with air-tight containers of cartridges, he'd be happy knowing they'd get a good home. I also tried Doom on SNES with the Mouse and the mouse pad is a thick, stiff plastic. It's about half of an SNES cart thick and about a 2/3 the size of a keyboard. So, I felt like an idiot playing doom because, I start pounding the mousepad because my brain gives me the illusion that I have a keyboard in my lap, so I start pounding with my fingers in the general area on the mousepad, then I realize " Oh, whoops SNES". Plus, the SNES port would be so much better if I could type, because playing Doom with a keyboard, I have the controls programmed in the back of my skull, it's like riding a bike. Overall, I am glad he let me borrow all of his Mario Paint stuff, I am halfway done composing "Mr. Blue Sky", I'll post a youtube video when I get done.

Actually, if you had paused for a second before launching into your story, that's exactly what I would have guessed happened this morning.

. . . except for the youtube part. Didn't see that one coming.

What? I sense your sarcasm but It's almost like you were being sarcastic about being sarcastic, so thats sorta like having a sentence with triple negatives.

Example: " I don't owe nobody nothing."
Would this mean you do owe somebody something.

Unless you weren't being sarcastic, oh well.

Actually, I was just going for "colorful"

I guessed 3 days ago that this would happen to you this morning. I just had this feeling...

[MrMatthews]

A little heads-up would have been nice, Joe. Thanks.

Joe the Forune Teller. Whoa, that's a mental image. Joe with a fake Jamican accent and a infomercial phone line.

EDIT : Joe, if you made this into a youtube movie, I'd be your first view. That'd be awesome.

[Rusty Venture]

Did you know three days ago he would post without using the "Enter" key?

Shame on you for not giving advanced warning.

[sega fan]

Yeah, I like how whenever I make a thread, my introductory is one huge 5 in/10 cm long brick of text. I acctually think that's funny as hell, because when I go and look back at some of the stupid things I post, I have like J.R.R Tolken long blocks of text.

Joe, You should do this.
(I also wanted to post this picture of you making money.)

Doom works with the SNES mouse? are pulling my leg? do you mean there is actually a use for that damn peripheral? Is the game any less horrendously clunky with the mouse?

[MN12BIRD]

I think Wolf3D works with the Mouse too. Oh and Lemmings and many other games actually.

Your not supposed to make him want to collect stuff. You want to make him give his good stuff to you like all my crazy friends do.
