I was just watching Peewee's Big Adventure and playing Kirby Superstar (great cave offensive), when all of the sudden the game started acting weird. I was about to get a treasure chest, and weird garbled graphics started showing up in places. The graphics were only slightly messed up at first, like a garbled flying pig head enemy that was blue and in pieces in place of a flower enemy. Then the chest disappeared and all of the sudden the final boss of the game showed up (the one from milky way wishes, I think).

Thanks a lot, Pee Wee.

I guess Pee-Wee had a grudge against Kirby

Kinda like the way Europe has a grudge against ninjas

I don't think they have anymore. The censoring has really been lowered(probably cause of that god-damned GTA's popularity).
Contras aren't Probotectors no more and Ninja Gaiden Black is Ninja Gaiden as it is! (althrough human-splatter is apparently removed)

it's because your dik4 drivers need to be updated.

MPC is the best medai player though, it doesn't try to access the internet to download a page full of gay advertisements about shitty bands I don't care about.

MPC is a really good player actually. it seems to play a wide variety of thigns that wont work in other media players, and doesn't take up as much memory.

WMP 7 and up just got so bogged down with bloatware, and they seem to not like DVDs without a separate decoder, whereas MPC has no problem. Combined with Quicktime Alternative you can download .mov files that normally won't let you if they're embedded.

VLC is better.

I use Windows Media Player 11. I just disabled its internet capability. I really don't need to know who R. Kelly has pissed on now, or whether Lance Bass has gotten a new boyfriend. Seriously, that guy made Sephiroth gay.

I use WMP for everything except DVDS (Which I use PowerDVD for). So, I definitely like it better than other players. Alhtough I use WMP 10 cuz WMP 11 doesn't have my favorite visualizations, and doesn't show any at all in compact mode (that I could get to work anyway). It's bad enough they got rid of my favorite skin after version 9.

Edit: Mine doesn't show music news Char, if yours does, I guess it's another bad feature of version 11, but I'm sure that it's something you can get rid of under Options. I love the internet access because it automatically loads the playlists of the cds I put in.

I just have the music news and whatever the fuck URGE is disabled. I still get the playlists. It's a pretty damn good program.

Which version?

I usually switch between Winamp and VLC. I really like VLC, especially since it will play some of my movies that Winamp won't. That and VLC won't readjust the window size every time the player changes "tracks".

I'm not sure if I remember his voice in Kingdom Hearts. I thought it wasn't bad in Advent Children.

To be honest, I started hearing Phil LaMarr's voice in my head after playing MGS2. </off topic>

it's really weird hearing a voice actor in a game or anime, and reconizing his other works.

I'm watching GTO, and noticed onizuka's english voice actor is spike from cowboy bebop, who also did wolvering in X men legends.

Steven Jay Blum has one voice in just about every anime ever made. And a bunch of american stuff. Blum and Samuel Leroy Jackson are the only two people that, based on estimated workload, never have to sleep.

(Blum was also in star wars battlefront II. As every storm trooper. All of them.)

You forget to mention Crispin Freeman. And Frank Welker actually beats SLJ when it comes to money:

"As of August 2, 2006, Frank Welker has surpassed Samuel L. Jackson as motion picture's all-time box office draw, bringing in a total gross of $4.690 billion at the box office." -Wikipedia entry for Frank Welker

The story is pretty lame, but the game is rock solid. The materia system is fantastic, and all the minigames are a great distraction from the shitty story.

Kinda like how Capcom turned Mega Man in a girly-sounding kid in Mega Man 8.
