Dear CT.

A. Ayumi Hamasaki
B. BoA
C. Utada Hikaru

Your choice determines the fate of the universe.
(I like Utada XD)
I went to school with BoA when I lived in korea.

She was a huge bitch if you weren't "cool."
Awful person.


Nus, it don't think it matters, as DS games aren't region encoded.

Either way, all you need to get is a flash card and you don't have to pay for any games, and there are cards that are cheaper than actual DS games.

*breaks ct thread*
LOL WUT.

Its HIGHLY unstable, but it works! :3

If you get a DS, make sure you pick up a mod chip too.

Khaly found a site where they were selling them before, you should make him find it again.

So i just watched no country for old men.

1) why is it titled so?
2) did he really kill the lady at the end?
3) what was the meaning of the accident at the end?
4) who do you think was the main character?

anyone who can answer those will get 10 internets.
Well, I haven't read the book (though I have purchased it... for a rainy day), so anyone who has read it could probably trump any interpretations I give you. Also, Cort likes Anton Chigurh enough to avatar him, so he can probably answer a lot of the questions for you.

1.
The title, No Country For Old Men, emphasizes the theme that those of Ed Tom Bell's (Tommy Lee Jones) generation, those men with moral standards who comprehend and respect "right vs. wrong," no longer fit into the world and are being replaced by the new generation, Chigurh's generation, the generation that Bell talks about in the beginning of the movie, those who have no moral respect for right and wrong. Chigurh represents this coming tide of darkness that Bell talks about in his dream -- the tide that cannot be stopped, only slowed. "No Country For Old Men," as in their moral ways no longer have a place in a world where chance or determinism trump justice or what is right.

2.
I believe that Chigurh did kill Carla Jean Moss, because it would be against his character to leave her alive. Although her refusal to call heads or tails would place Chigurh in a sort of limbo if he did not know what fate (the coin) had decided for her, his deterministic, almost nihilistic attitude towards others most likely determines for itself that she should die. The scene with the gas station owner reminds us that Chigurh becomes fairly impatient when he receives anything but a "yes" or "no" answer, and the scene also shows us that he has most likely encountered people who refused to call the coin in his past. He must have come up with a system to decide for them, and I'm sure that he decides death.

3.
The car's hitting Chigurh, and his assumed survival, tells us a lot about his character and the aforementioned theme of his evil generation has the tide of evil that cannot be stopped. Literally, he was not stopped by the car crash while the driver was killed. The scene showed his strict following of his personal rules when he paid the kid the money for his shirt even after the kid said he could have it free of charge (in this, it also reminded us that he was the victorious party in the game for the money). Just like in Bell's (TLJ) dream, the tide was not stopped. However, different interpretations could make arguments that the crash was not to show that he was unstoppable but the exact opposite -- to show that he was not invincible. You just have to review the context and decide for yourself.

4.
I think Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) was the main character. Although he did not take part in the majority of the action between Llewelyn Moss and Chigurh, he is the frame in which the story of the film is shown. It is he who is the old man now without a country; it is his moralistic evaluations and his dream that provide us a way to seek past the action and into the depth of the movie. And he is the one who cannot stop the dark tide from coming, and he realizes and accepts this by the end of the film.

I hope this helped.

best ds flash card deal online, i think. You can get 1 or 2 gb microSD cards fairly cheap on amazon, cheaper if you get them in bulk (i think sets of 5 is the smallest amount you can get in bulk)

The UI is pretty good, and doesn't have the stupid saving error the ninjapasses have.

PC bought me a DS mod chip and it's amazing. I make my own skins for mine and stuff, and I have the most amazing games on it. I also store music and I think I can store movies too... I know I can store images and stuff.

the DS one (that i listed earlier) can play mp3s and video files n stuff, like milktea's.

so it's a great deal, really. It's cheaper than a DS game and cheaper than an MP3 player <.<

Misty says, "Take it from me, it's a lot easier to like someone who likes you than to like someone who doesn't." Brock then asks her "How do you know?", after which Misty gasps, blushes, then coyly replies "Well that's...what I've heard..."

I can get anyone any DS game they want....its quite simple actually.

My flashcard (cycloDS) is easily the best option out there.

Thing is...viewing any form of media such as photos or videos, surfing the net, and emulators are just HORRIBLE on the DS. People who like DS more than the psp....know nothing about the psp. I own both a hacked DS and PSP (I enjoy both of them) and I can say that I've had 10 times as much fun with fooling around on the psp. I was done fooling around with the DS in like a week...all i do now is just switch my .NDs rom files every now and then. The PSP is much more reliable and user friendly in terms of storing pictures and movies....plus, accessing them is very simple as well. The DS was not meant to deal with high quality imaging.....so the battery life drains REALLY fast whereas the PSP was designed for that purpose....the screen is a higher quality resolution. The DS was solely designed for the interactive aspect of gaming hence, why all the games graphics compared to Super Nintendo....

Best games on DS-

Brain Age I and II
Big Brain Academy
Zoo Keeper
Final Fantasy III
Zelda-Phantom Hourglass
Super Mario 64
New Super Mario Bros
The two Castlevanias
Star Wars Legos

psp-

lumines
MVP Baseball
Liberty City Stories
Tekken: Dark Resurrection
Fight Night Round 3
NBA Live 07
Final Fantasy I and II remake
