Slaughter of the Soul is probably one of the best Melodic death metal records ever put out, along with The Gallery (Dark Tranquility), The Jester Race (In Flames) and Heartwork (Carcass).
what IS this garbage you're watching, I want to watch the NEWS
AU: Yeah, Flame Thrower does seem like kind of a weak package.
What freaks me out is just how many of the IDs I remember hearing on Q94 from December 1990 to August 1992 are much older than that. They're mostly from Warp Factor and Skywave, and those are from 1985 and 1988, respectively. (The talent shout-outs were from Hot KIIS, which is even older!)

I play SW: The Old Republic every now and again
for an MMO it's not that bad, but it's certainly not expansive like a Star Wars game should be. You get a quest to go fuck up a bunch of storm troopers and they're like 50 meters away from the Imperial officer who's giving you the quest

Things it took me too long to realize: The reason the AVGN used the top-loader NES in his "Bible Games 2" video is that most of the games were those unlicensed cartridges that used all sorts of fiddly tricks to try to bypass the 10NES chip, so they'll play more reliably in the top-loader because it had no 10NES to begin with.

I think for those Color Dreams/Wisdom Tree games, they used a trick to zap and disable the 10NES chip to bypass it.
Years ago in a Christian bookstore in Nashville, they had Super Noah's 3D Ark in a discount bin and I just rolled my eyes and walked on. I had no idea that they'd be worth so much later
"Melodic death metal" always sounded like a contradiction to me, but yeah, it's a good album.
I suppose. The name always made sense to me, what with combining the riffing and gutteral vocals of death metal with the melodic style and harmony guitars of NWOBHM.

It's because Nintendo saw how the glut of shitty, unlicensed games contributed to the fall of Atari and they weren't going to allow that to happen to their system. Which is also why they limited 3rd parties to releasing only a set, small number of games per year. It was actually a pretty smart move on their part and good for the game industry as a whole, but after a while it stopped being so and took a court order to remove that shit.
AU: Also, while looking for another cut Q94 used (as their news sounder), I seem to have stumbled on the answer to another question I had: What package was WMAL-AM using in November 1981? This is it right here: Focal Point.
The entire clean :30 TV commercial bed from the November 1981 TV spot is in here around the 15 minute mark, and after that, right toward the end of the demo, is ONE OF THE SOUNDERS I WAS LOOKING FOR. I remember hearing it on Q94 one morning, right before they launched into a weekend public-affairs program, and it scared the crap out of me.
This must mean WRVA (Q94's news/talk sister station) must have used Focal Point or The Number 1 Voice at some point. :D

Throughout the years, I've heard this whole "I'm a power user" line from just about everybody imaginable (mostly those irritating *nix advocates, though.) What the hell is a "power user", anyway? My guess is it's someone who thinks that they need all the available CPU and RAM and whatever they can get, when all they really do is emboss everything they see in Photoshop or they recompile a kernel or two because that's what power users do with their free time I guess. Or maybe it's just some bullshit, retarded term that kids (and smartphone critics) toss around to try to impress other people.
People have been bandying about "power user" since the late 1980s. I'm still not sure what it's supposed to mean, myself; it's really vague. Do they push their hardware to the limit? Do they actually do a lot of paying work on their machine and need it to compile or finish quickly? What's the deal, man?
Especially considering that when I first heard the term, DOS was still considered an acceptable workstation OS for most people, NT didn't exist yet, and Unix was still for mainframes and "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" minicomputers.

Yeah, calling one's self a "power user" is just another form of dick-waving. The only thing I can think of that really taxes the shit out of a computer system (other than a video game or mining bitcoins) is crunching numbers in a math lab, especially floating point and other high-precision shit.

To me, "power user" brings to mind the kind of person who makes all their Microsoft Office toolbars the smallest possible size, never stopping to think that this makes the buttons take longer to access because they're smaller targets. Or, more generally, the kind of person who thinks they're special because they use things like batch files or scripts or bookmarklets to make their frequent tasks easier and doesn't realize that everybody takes shortcuts like that.
...Heh, I guess that gives y'all a rough idea of what era of computing I grew up in.

I'm not the average Speak n' Spell user, who learns a few monosyllabic words every now and then. By the very nature of my brilliance, I'm not afraid to crank the levels up to four entire syllables to where you can hear the integrated circuitry under the plastic audibly grinding under duress. I'm what you might call a power user.

why?
It seems vaguely Orwellian to me but that's probably just because of my oversensitivity to such things
I'm back from work.
Our cardboard bailer was broken, so I had to go outside and put my cardboard in the dumpster every time I needed to get rid of it. -_-
