I have had the most insane idea I’ve ever had cross my brain this afternoon. But before I can pull this off, I need some help.
I know I have a good cross section of Bemani sim users reading my blog; I also have a good chunk of Mac users. As such, I need recommendations for a PSX->USB adaptor that can take two controllers at once and doesn’t have any huge outstanding issues with Mac compatiblity.
Something that comes with configuration software would be even better.
I’ve been a little short on the writings lately, so let me catch everyone up with a huge post.
Where I’ve Been – people may have noticed I wasn’t online much this weekend. As it happened, we had an implicit need to come back to the coldhole known as Ithaca – I had a bank account to close, and we were about due to come back for a quick visit. We’re staying until Monday morning, bussing back to the city, and I should be home around 2 PM.
What We Did For Valentine’s Day – went to the Cornell/Yale Men’s Hockey game. This will sound silly unless you’ve been to a Cornell hockey game – which everyone should do at least once in their lives, even if you don’t go to Cornell.
VJ Army – people keep bugging me about it, so here’s the public decree – don’t email me. Don’t IM me. Just wait patiently until I reopen registration, which should be this week. Every email with someone assuring me they’re not an asshat just makes me push it off farther because I’m annoyed.
Random Recommendations – wrapped up my first run on Metroid Zero Mission very quickly (3:13, 60%), working on my second run now. No spoilers, but I thought the Metal Gear Metroid section was RETARDED. No judgement on FF:CC yet because I haven’t played it enough, nor have I touched the multiplayer. Gackt’s Crescent is good despite his attempt to rap on the first track.
Orkut Funnies – as people have been noticing, my social butterfly-ism has been quite noticable at Orkut. I’ve had at least one person come up to me and start fake-bowing and going “ORKUT MASTER, ORKUT MASTER” after finding my profile, which is odd and amusing. But today we hit a special bit of amusement – I was unaware that Orkut had added Valentine’s cards, which are a neat little use for the software. Katie was also unaware until one of the people from her Japanes Horror community sent her one. Orkut offers you 10 pre-selected social networking-ish messages. This guy picked “I searched for love, and I found you.” This will certainly be getting interesting.
My Special Wish – I realize that between Katie and I to travel, we need to bring a minimum of seven power cords – two cell phone, two iPod, one iBook, one razor, and one (shared) GBASP. I’d really love to see electronics makers standardize on ONE damn power cord shape. This is a complete pipe dream, but a man has to keep his hopes high.
The Gaming Week Ahead – more work on Pokemon Sapphire (Colloseum is out soon!), more runs through Metroid Zero, some multiplayer FF:CC, SMBA4 now that I have the e-reader cards, and probably some IIDX 4th Style for the course of the week.
I think I’m done for the night. Back home tomorrow.
Ordered lunch at Burger King. Looked at the receipt. Circles are by me.
After wondering what the hell the first circled part meant, I realized that I GOT SERVED.
It’s the little things in life, I tell you.
