Online Persona vs. Real Life Person

I don't have much of an online persona, but I'm the same.

Computer Talk!

I have a 3 year old laptop (I have no idea what the specs are) and I'm thinking of buying a new Mac Book.

Thoughts? I don't know much about computers.

Community History

First RPGs I played were Final Fantasy and Ultima: Exodus. Got really into Dragon Warrior 1 to 4 as well, and then every RPG I could find for the SNES.

Heard about RPG maker for the first time in 1999 around May. It was my first time to use the internet, and it freaked me out. I made cliched games that I never finished and had an amazingly fun time doing it. The game that was most complete was a rip off of Wild ARMS. I first posted on the NeXus in September of 1999 I think, and then eventually moved on to Khameleon's RPG Warehouse and Geluh's RMD.

The games I hyped around 2000-2001 were Jack and Chill '95 and Jack and Chill 2000 (Think a less hardcore Happy Valley with horribly lame Family Guy references). Both I got about 30 minutes of play time out of before I lost interest. I eventually made short things on rm2k from AIM conversations (of RMD regulars) acted out by characters. I made three and they were under the name The Donahue Project.

Since about 2003 I haven't done much. I only really enjoyed using rm 95. I'd love to make a simple game, but I don't really have the time. I'm here now because of nostalgia, and something to do when I'm on the internet.

How can I check my speed? I actually haven't got my internet installed yet (Nov 8), and am stealing off someone right now.

American Elections '08

The dude that's 22 sounds like he's never had faith in politics or taken time to understand politics.

The illusion that nothing changes is due to people only seeing the one change and assume that it was inevitable and bound to happen and they "like totally can't imagine anything else of happening". Or I guess there's the Orwellian option that they've forgotten that things were any different.

If you want to give a shit, educate yourself. If you want to wallow in your own apathy and cuddle up with your anomie, it's not a big deal. When people say "the ignorant masses" they have to be referring to someone.

Japanese Internet vs. North American Internet (pic)

It's not free, it's fucking expensive. I'm paying 5000 yen a month (if you convert this now it seems like a lot more than it is due to the Yen skyrocketing in the economic cluster-fuck, but around 50 bucks).

It is fast as hell though.

Languages

English and intermediate/advanced Japanese in speaking/reading.

What game has the best soundtrack?

Final Fantasy Tactics and Chrono Cross.

Behind those are Wild ARMS and Lunar: SSSC.

Behind that is Final Fantasy VI and Lunar: EBC.
