This is my 1st post on this site. I feel that it's better to post here than to continuously update my site w/my thoughts, since I will have to load up my webpage w/word 2K, retype, save, then log on to angelfire.com, log in, load the page, etc. one heck of a job(actually, it's probably more simple than I put it).

That said, here's my arcade gaming thought of the day: yes, some fighting games, the characters are going to be more balanced than other games, and there's basically no cheesy tactic(currently VF4). However, you can't say that these games are 100% balanced even in that case; certain characters will simply be able to do more damage in more circumstances than others or have better strikes or throws for situations. this is why we have tiers. yes, skill plays a bigger role, which is why chibita dominates with his lion. but not to get sidetracked, top tier characters have more and better options available against others and tend to be more successful with winning because of those options.

I've currently gotten better with songwriting w/my electric guitar; i can now rap(to a limited degree) while playing power chords. this opens new avenues to what i think i can come up with by myself. *thinks of remixed worship songs* ;D

biblical food for thought: if the Israelites had driven out ALL(and i stress ALL) the Canaanites, would that have guarenteed that they would not fall to idolatry? and your side course to that: what would happen if Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of life, or if only ONE of them ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

why do laptops not have joystick ports? do those guys not think that gamers actually buy laptops? what am i gonna do w/my 4-button 2-speed rapid fire ps-style gamepad?

that's it; i'm out
