Seriously now. It should become a mandatory requirement that in order to get approved, you know what a hex editor is and you don't say stupid things like needing "Shockwave Studio" to hack.

Theres plenty of websites out there that tell you the real truth about ROM hacking and how it isn't all "Level Editors and Simplicity". A simple google search would suffice and show you more then what you need to know.

If you understand something like this:
LDA $3000
STA #$45
(I don't even understand it fully, but I have an idea)
Then you are ready to start learning how to hack games and things like SSB. Learn more about hacking (and how hard it is to even hack a 3D game) and then come back to us. Theres an IRC channel called #rom-hacking on irc.esper.net, join it and ask questions to the experts. I gaurentee that after getting all the minimum required knowledge of ROM hacking that you will say "Screw this." and give up or rely on Level Editors for the rest of your life. It happens to 85% of us, (it's even happened to me) and it will most likely happen to you.

ROM hacking is not an easy thing. You aren't doing what the original game makers had to do. Your going through their after-processed code and rewriting it. You can only go so far, there are limitations unlike some ASM hacks have led you to believe.

In short. Dont ask about hacking N64 games. Dont ask about anything ROM hacking until you have read at least 10 documents on it.

While I do agree that the GC would've benefitted from a DVD player, that was then. Nowadays, as said earlier, DVD players are so cheap and popular everyone who wants one already has one, so there's no realy reason for anyone to put one in their console anymore. Only drives up the price.

Earthbound anyone? Some people love Earthbound, others don't understand what it's all about. I'm one of those who loves it due how unique it is.

So, why is it that GameStop is the only store that people complain about? Seriously.

I stopped going to the game store when Gamestop took over Funcoland. They suck. They destroyed everything Funcoland stood for. Most game stores are them or EBgames now.

On the other hand, I just picked up a Wii at Best Buy... which, coincidentally, had more of them than Gamestop. Guess where I shop now?

This is a live-action performance from the annual Carnegie Mellon University Entertainment Technology Center's (http://www.etc.cmu.edu) Building Virtual Worlds Show. The performance is from December 6th, 2006, and students have TWO weeks to brainstorm, develop, and implement a virtual world, which in this case, was required of us to make an entertaining experience for a large audience.

The performance is given in McConomy Auditorium in Carnegie Mellon, via the technology of the Playmotion. The playmotion is a motion sensor technology that receives data on the user's head and two hands.
