Singin Pretty Fly for a White Guy in the shower :)
Boxing isn't really my forte but I can always teach you something new :D

heres some quick tips because I don't feel like running to class just yet :p

Just remember to have your hand relaxed until you are about to contact and then clench and do a rotation with your arm. this will make your punch faster, it will be less strenuous on your arm/body, and the rotation will add more power (rotational force for any of you that know physics). And always always always keep your wrist straight. that way your arm absorbs the shock and not your wrist. As well always hit with your index and middle knuckes and avoid hitting with the ring and pinky knuckles because they have no support and can easily break (it's called a boxers fracture lol).

I'm totally free this weekend. Any brawl or melee tournies goin on? Or does anyone just wanna chill for the day and smoke n smash?
Pretty freakin awesome stuff man! The first pic is my favorite but the last one was amazing nonetheless.

The second one was crazy tho! So cool but I think there was just a little too much water on the face. But still amazing tho!

I have a couple questions:
If I wanted to put an nVidia driver on my computer, do I need to have an nVidia graphics card as well or does my Intel GMA work?
Is there a good Intel GMA that can support the Dolphin emulator?

Yeah, so this is the kind of stuff I've been working on...
Really good quality picture, and sound. But the frame rate is not up to speed (which wouldn't matter if it was frame by frame) and you can see through Pokemon Stadium? And also I don't know how to record yet. But because it's so slow, tech chasing falcon is really easy.

Jesus, from lack of interest I've never really seen 64 played since I was a kid.

Didn't realize how crazy sexy it was.

What Jeff would like playing HRC in High Def with Graphics Errors

Stage Selection

Pokemon Stadium-notice there's no board?

Hanging from the edge

Because of the graphics error, you can see Sheik's face.

Simply just a Brinstar pic. Surprisingly, it doesn't look half bad.

Notice Fox's face

Rainbow Cruise

Pikachu's Taunt from the forward angle

Pika from the side.

Alright, I think you need to get some sort of ATI plugin for it. I'm not particularly familiar with AMD. I have an Intel and had to download a DirectX sort of application. Direct3D9 I think it was. But are you getting the message about OpenGL?

@Jeff-Then come to SoCal.

I know, I love it!
Jonny-I'll just have to show/sing/read it to you in person. That way you're forced to see me before I leave for three months 'and' more importantly, I get to make a fool out of myself offline!

Umm...I'm playing tennis from 5 PM til 7 PM and then eating sushi after with my mom and others. Then, I have to wake up at 6 AM to get to SoCal by 4 PM on Wednesday. So...today's last night, unless I can convince my mom to let me smash from 8 PM to 11 PM.

I'll miss you rob. :(

Also predictably someone questions my hygiene which isn't legit. It would be the equivalent of saying "why are you gay, Sean?" when he obviously has a girlfriend, and I obviously have the same hygiene habits of any normal person.

First impressions are hard to wipe out Xander.

And yeah, your hygiene is good now, its just when you first started getting into smash and meeting people a lot it wasn't.

xander, you made a FORMSPRING. if you make a formspring, you have to prepare yourself for a troll storm of hurricane katrina proportions.

that website might as well change its name to pleasetroll.me
