DDR: The Gateway Drug – Part 1

rcComics
Yeah I said that I was going to finish up that last storyline but I thought it had a pretty good finish anyway. <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=277>Here’s something new instead.</a> Dance Dance Revolution is essentially a drug. In Japan there are about a dozen mixes and it’s all basically the same game. Why do we keep buying the newest version? I don’t know. Probably just to play the same game with different songs. Regardless, I am still looking forward to DDRMAX2 coming in the mail this week. Rhythm games have by far become my favorite video game genre. They’re simple to learn and easy to pick up and play for a few minutes. I’ve got another import game on the way too but I’ll talk about it more on Wednesday.

Ebay-Man: Two Scoops of Evil – Part 9

rcComics
Coming to a theater near you, <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=276>the storyline that wouldn’t die.</a> Seriously though the last part of the story will be Monday. I for one am ready to get back to single comics that make no sense rather than big multipart stories that make no sense. I haven’t touched a video game for about a week. I need a break to work on other projects. Currently, I am trying to get Linux installed on an old 486 I have sitting around. I was having problems with my internet connection last night if you were trying to get to the BBS. It should be working ok now though. Continue reading "Ebay-Man: Two Scoops of Evil – Part 9" →

Ebay-Man: Two Scoops of Evil – Part 8

rcComics
<a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=275>Show no mercy!</a> Big site update today Bitsmack has always been a site devoted to video gaming, classic and current. There is one aspect of classic gaming we have neglected: BBS Games. When I was in middle school, before the Internet, one of my friends had an older brother with a BBS (Bulletin Board System). It was great, we could chat, post messages and for the first time, play games “online”. Well now you can step back in time and try out these games on the <a href=telnet://bbs.bitsmack.com>Bitsmack BBS.</a> Instead of having to dial into a BBS like the old days you can use your internet connection and a Telnet client. Don’t worry, there’s one built into Windows. Once you create a user you’ll want to go to the “External Programs” section to play games. Right now the only game there is Legend of the Red Dragon. It’s kind of like Everquest without graphics. I’m hoping to get Tradewars to put up soon because it is also a cool game. Try it out and let me know if you have any problems.

I will trade you <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=274>this comic</a> for your leftover Easter candy. If you missed our first live Shoutcast Saturday night you can download the MP3 from the <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index>Downloads</a> section. I’m not sure when our next one will be but it should be much better. Continue reading "Ebay-Man: Two Scoops of Evil – Part 7" →

Ebay-Man: Two Scoops of Evil – Part 6

rcComics
Wait a sec, I think he’s going somewhere with <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=273>this.</a> Cool Site of the Month: <a href=http://www.archive.org/>http://www.archive.org/</a> has a feature called the Wayback Machine that lets you look at web pages from years ago. It’s so much fun to see what sites like Gamespot and Nintendo looked like back in 1997. You can have a lot of fun at this site. One more thing, if you want to be recognized for getting your question answered on Ask Bitsmack, you have to put your name after your question. Unless of course you don’t want to be recognized which is entirely possible. Continue reading "Ebay-Man: Two Scoops of Evil – Part 6" →

Ebay-Man: Two Scoops of Evil – Part 5

rcComics
Here you go. This <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=272>comic</a> should releave you of that Tuesday aftertaste. I highly recommend TV. If you don’t have one you should really look into it. Lately, I’ve been watching Trigun and Cowboy Bebop on Cartoon Network. If you are new to anime check these out. This Sunday, Family Guy is coming to Cartoon Network as well. If you get the chance, Sealab 2021, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and The Brak Show are good shows if you like weird cartoons that will actually make you laugh. Here’s a couple of site updates. First of all there is a new link to <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index>Ask Bitsmack.</a> You can ask about anything, video games, movies, the art of seduction. We are pretty much experts at anything. The second point of business is that I have dethroned K-Dog from the <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Game_Ratings&file=index&action=topmembers>Top Members</a> list. Granted he is in Florida right now, but that is no excuse. What I need from you the users are some ideas to make Bitsmack better. How can I set this site apart from the rest and provide incentives to post reviews? Keep in mind this site brings in no money, so the incentives would have to be non-monatary. I’m open to ideas to make this website keep growing. Click Comments to post your thoughts. Oh yeah, one more thing. For the “Ask Bitsmack” I’ll be answering one question a week, starting next Wednesday. Continue reading "Ebay-Man: Two Scoops of Evil – Part 5" →

Ebay-Man: Two Scoops of Evil – Part 3

rcComics
Hello, would you like to change your long distance carrier to <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=270>this comic?</a> Tales of Interest! I finally decide to get lamps for my computer room and bedroom. When I plug in the bedroom lamp the circuit blows for half the apartment. No power in the bathroom, bedroom or living room. Then I notice I don’t have a flashlight. I have no way of seeing the circuit box in the bathroom closet. Just before I start to panic I see the Game Boy Advance. Using its backlight I am able to see the circuit box and flip the switch to regain power. I owe it all to the GBA! Continue reading "Ebay-Man: Two Scoops of Evil – Part 3" →

Ebay-Man: Two Scoops of Evil – Part 2

rcComics
Comics? Yeah, we got <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=269>that.</a> So I finally got to play Amplitude this weekend, but I have mixed feelings about it. Compared to Frequency they improved about 5 things and made 2 things worse. I guess that means it is better. K-Dog also got all the parts to put together his new computer. The case is a small cube that is pretty cool (not to be confused with his G4 cube, which is not that cool). Saturday, K-Dog, Goz and I worked on a new project “that which cannot be named.” More details on that later. In case you were wondering, a 20” monitor is better than a 17”.

Ebay-Man: Two Scoops of Evil – Part 1

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=268>a comic!</a> Other than Final Fantasy Origins I can’t think of any exciting games coming out. I don’t even plan on getting FFO, I still have Dark Cloud 2 and Zelda to play. Therefore I decided to do another ongoing storyline. This might be the longest one yet. Today I’m heading to K-Dog’s to play this glorious Amplitude I’ve heard so much about. I started to brush up on my Frequency skills but Beatmania IIDX is still more fun. In fact, I feel like playing it right now… Continue reading "Ebay-Man: Two Scoops of Evil – Part 1" →

This <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=266>comic</a> should explain why I am in charge now. Your precious RC and K-Dog did not take me seriously as an evil villian and now they have paid the ultimate price. I have taken over this so-called “website” and plan to rule it with an iron fist!! Be prepared for changes to come. HA! HA! HA! Continue reading "Under New Management" →
