Seems to be a trend these days. As a driver you need to be aware of all of your surroundings all of the time. Can you miss one kid who is in the street instead of the sidewalk? Maybe... Seriously though. How can you not be aware of a whole line of over a dozen people. You should never swerve to avo...

:( Shame they closed the one closest to me a while back.

Maybe I'll look for one close to work.

My new entertainment center

I just finished assembling it. Click the ad pic for my actual entertainment center. http://i.walmart.com/i/p/00/02/99/86/85/0002998685004_215X215.jpg Since my TV is both pretty wide and deep it was hard finding an entertainment center that fit the TV well. So far I'm really satisfied with it. I know...

you missed Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha (my fav) That's the one released as Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold in SF Collection 1 on PS right? That's my favorite also. I started playing the series at SF2: The World Warrior, and to this day I usually prefer to play a SF game than a Tekken or other game.

At pizza hut, each 'pizza' arrives frozen as a disc, thicker than a cd and a cd to record size depending on what size the pizza is. You take the frozen disc, this NOXIOUS oil and put the disc in a pan soaked in the oil. next day the 'pizza' puffs up and you just lift it around the edges and sauce i...

Not wise starting up your engine takes a lot more gas then you'd think. When is it best to turn off your engine while waiting for someone? For example: My girlfriend is supposed to get off work at 6:15 pm. If I arrive early, when does it become a good idea to turn off the engine while waiting? Like...

To each his or her own. I'd like to have some classic game tunes playing from my TV (which is hooked up to my stereo) while I clean my living room.

It's not a necessity by any means, but a nice feature in my opinion.

Sigh... as if the "Super" before half the SNES games and the "64" after N64 games weren't bad enough. DS games get to have subtitles with words that have D and S in them. Complaining aside, I just hope it doesn't get canceled like the original RE for GBC. Any news how the touch p...

I think I figured out the problem. The version he has apartently only works in 2000/XP but there is a older version that works with 98/Me/NT/2000/XP.

Odd.

I'm going to have him try the older version.

Magic Engine problems in WinME

I have a friend that is trying to run Magic Engine in Windows ME. I've never had any problems with it in XP, but he says that in ME it is telling him that it has "Problems initializing". He's using an older version of it. Does Magic Engine usually work in ME and just not his 1.0 PR 5 or is...
