Heh, old as me 'tis. I've been looking for a ROM of an NES game that was veeery similar to this, but for the life of me I can't remember its name.

Adblock here using FilterSet.G updates too. It is because of:

I don't think this is a false positive. Just a bad timing to have _ad.

It was a 33 byte hd. That or it was ROM drive of some sort (I dont remember if I ever tried to edit the autoexec file). It was a static (not removeable) disk that was labeled "c:".

I sense a challenge. My first computer was a 1 megahertz 6510 running it's O/S off a ROM chip that had giant metal pins for legs!....

Unrelated... about 15 years ago, I performed a creative RAM upgrade for my Macintosh II video RAM. I called the manufacturer and told them I was engineering a product and needed 8 samples of their XXYYXX RAM chip and they mailed them for free : )

It looks like the ad blocker was causing it:

But I don't see ad_. Hmm! Confusing.

Hey-Brilliant-C. S.Lewis did the same thing, always questioning. Fundamentalists of any creed, do themselves a disservice when they say to themselves, "I have the answers"

-a rough translation of the last statement, "I am quite comfortable, in my ignorance, and am done thinking."

Each morning, upon waking, try this mantra: "Everything I Know is Wrong!"...then the gods will shine down and shower upon you, untold blessings!

"Professing themselves wise, they became fools"-Rom. 1:22

Christians, automatically justify their bullshit ideas of God, without applying this statement to themselves. Jesus forgives sin, he does not give you the ability to decipher scriptures, like reading cereal box ingredients.
the answers, grasshoppers', is not even as easy as.."This life is all there is" or "when you die that's it"...if you are comfortable with this, then you too, fair sifter, are a dupe!
because, when day is done, you must admit, that is is faith which allows you to believe this!
(oh what, did your cousin send you a message from the afterlife??)

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

My only suggestion, is that as these sifters would be scaled down quite a bit - the accents could be a bit bigger for some.

Can we make the kitten a bit bigger in relation to the sifter, also I didn't recognise the bluetooth headset at first glance, this might not scale as well. For the tech one, what if we put a DVD-Rom bezel and a power button on the front? so now the sifter is a wicked PC case mod.

Also, great work on adding the shadows for the accents.

I seen a bunch of celebs bouncing around Montreal, but I never really felt star struck, because they would never talk to you normally anyway, to them you are some crazed fan. To me, almost all of them seemed like snobs, only vaguely covering up their real identity.

The only real star struck I had was when I met Lieutenant-General Roméo Alain Dallaire at a development conference out in Ottawa. I really admired this man, his efforts in Rwanda and his relentless pursuit of trying to change Canadians outlook on what Canada should mean on the International stage in the 21st Century.

He seemed like a big sad bear.

I first watched this like many people with the Windows 95 CD-ROM where it was featured as an example of Windows video support. It came with my top of the line (at the time) Pentium 2 160 Mhz with 32 Mb of RAM, Creative Soundblaster and an S3 Virge graphics card. How time flies.

Man that was awesome...time to dust off my CD-ROM and play it again

Man, How I loved scumm games. I truly grew up on them. My very first "cd rom" game ever was a Game CD by Lucas Arts, that had Indiana Jones, Loom and Monkey Island. I played those games non stop. Truly the very pinnacle of adventure games. Too bad lucas arts pretty much abandoned the genre to pump out the 324968237429387428397423 star wars branded game clones.
