<Chuck_W> Hey Gelf.
<Gelfling> anyone interested in some of the latest news from G4?
<Chuck_W> Such as?
<Gelfling> Looks like Midway might be going up for sale!
<Gelfling> & that ATI is being investigated for INSIDER TRADING!
<Gelfling> also looks like Project Manhunt might be getting remade
<Chuck_W> Midway sale is old news.
*** Eppy has joined #rgvc
<Eppy> hiyas
*** Arcadian sets mode: +o Eppy
<Chuck_W> And I dunno what Project Manhunt is.
<Gelfling> sorry G4 didn't update enough yet I guess
<Chuck_W> G4 isn't exactly the fastest news in the industry.  8*)
<Gelfling> unless I'm mistaken it was originally a Sierra Title 
<Chuck_W> I'd like to see a remake of Yie Ar Kung Fu.
<Chuck_W> Yie Ar 3: Crouching Oolong, Hidden Buchu.
<Gelfling> So would I but at least Kings Quest I & KQ II have been!
<Chuck_W> Never played 'em.
<Chuck_W> I wasn't much of a classic PC gamer.
<Chuck_W> Dude, there are full on nips in this Nicotrol commercial.
<Chuck_W> I didn't think you could show those in commercials.  8*)
<Gelfling> for those interested in downloading Kings Quest I 
<Atari70s> chuck they can do it only cause its cable and cable can 
   get away with it since its a pay service . 
<Chuck_W> God I'm such a fucking pimp.  Desktop next to me, laptop 
   in my legs, legs up on table, watching Iron Chef on the 35" TV, 
   checking news and stocks on my laptop, and my desktop sitting 
   there safeguarding my net connection.  8*)
<Atari70s> basic channels you cant so anything
<Gelfling> or Kings Quest II Romancing 
<Chuck_W> Atari, Yeah.  8*)
<Atari70s> if its cable they can be topless and theres nothing that 
   can be done. 
<Atari70s> since its a pay channel.
<Chuck_W> I'm sure the FCC would do something.
<Gelfling> The Stones check http://www.tierraentertainment.com
<Atari70s> nah
<Chuck_W> I know they CAN (and I'd prefer it), but they don't.
<Atari70s> cause if someone doesnt want to see can stop ordering 
   cable and they wont see it anymore
<Chuck_W> Which is why there wasn't a scandel over the South Park 
   shit episode.
<Atari70s> they can complain about it.
<Atari70s> its like crank yankers. they had a topless muppet dont see 
   them getting kicked off
<Chuck_W> Hah
<Atari70s> or the man show
<Atari70s> when the girls jump on the trampoliens
<Atari70s> soem times you see more than just the underware(more like 
   whats in them)
<Atari70s> yet they are still on there
<Chuck_W> >>> A FALL DOWN AN ELEVATOR SHAFT IN CARBON COUNTY HAS LEFT 
   ONE MAN HOSPITALIZED. -------- IT HAPPENED HERE AT LEHIGHTON HIGH 
   SCHOOL EARLIER THIS MORNING... ...WHERE TODD WEAVER...A SCHOOL 
   DISTRICT MAINTENANCE WORKER THOUGHT HE WAS STEPPING INTO THE

<Atari70s> if our drunk you might be dumb enough
*** Strimkind has quit IRC
<Gelfling> probably someone who had a little to much Rasta
<Chuck_W> Newegg's got 3.06GHz P4s for $660.
<Eppy> bet his last words were, "hey, kids!  watch this!"
<Chuck_W> Hah
<Chuck_W> Can't help but wonder why this jerkoff on the NG keeps 
   posting MPEGs.
<Gelfling> wonder what happened to the dragon's lair movie
<Chuck_W> Dunno.
<Gelfling> well at least in 8 months I'll get a chance to ask the

<snap-l> Sleep?
<Eppy> surely you've read enough to get one tower out of it.  assume 
    the second one is identical.  job done.
<JacksonC> lol
<Gelfling> personally I think G4 has been overdoing it with L.O.T.R
<Gelfling> from Black Label Games
<snap-l> Heh. :)

<sampson> hahaha
<wgungfu> samspon: Kazaa?

<sampson> no...ftps
*** Hemlock has quit IRC (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

<snap-l> I gotta hit the hay too.
<snap-l> Laterness guys.
*** snap-l has quit IRC (leaving)
<Gelfling> along with Tape Path head cleaner
<Gelfling> Natures Orange or Simple Green to clean Casing/housing
<Atari70s> seen Hemlock
<Arcadian> Hemlock was last on IRC channel #rgvc 3 minutes ago.
<Atari70s> ?
<JacksonC> what are you cleaning with tape head cleaner ?
<Gelfling> you can clean cart slots & game cart proms!
*** FileIdDiz is now known as Hemlock
<Gelfling> even controller/joystick ports!
<Hemlock> oh
<JacksonC> oh ok yeah that would work, its just alcohol anyway
<Hemlock> it's game rage
<Hemlock> hi gamer age
<Hemlock> i forgot about that nick
<Gelfling> just dampen a old toothbrush with the Tape Path head 
   cleaner
<Gelfling> for the ports & cart slot
<Gelfling> & be sure to use a left/right motion to clean
<JacksonC> I don't have much of a problem getting carts to work on 
   the 2600. its about the best for that IMO
<Gelfling> then MUST let dry for 45 minutes to one our
<Gelfling> sorry hour
<Gelfling> cartridge contacts also be cleaned with tape path head 
   cleaner
<Gelfling> & Q-Tips
<wgungfu> I just use those ready-made medical alchohol pads.
<wgungfu> alcohol
<Gelfling> sorry alcohol isn't the best in the long run
<wgungfu> Haven't had a problem yet.
<Gelfling> wouldn't recommend it
<wgungfu> And as JC said, that's what's in tape head cleaner.
<JacksonC> heh
<_Riff_> ok, on page 194 now
<_Riff_> 316 to go
<_Riff_> er 216
<Gelfling> best to use tape path head cleaner which is NOT THE SAME!
<wgungfu> Whatever you say.
<Eppy> and what exactly is different?
<Gelfling> MUST open windows etc for tape path head cleaner
<wgungfu> windows?
<_Riff_> you need a computer to use it?
<Eppy> what if you use a mac?  or linux?
<wgungfu> You mean the dust blockers on the 2600 carts?
<JacksonC> I have 95, is it compatable ?
<Gelfling> cart proms etc
<wgungfu> So you're saying you open the entire cart when you clean it?
<Gelfling> no of course not
<Gelfling> angle cart when removing to left or right
<wgungfu> Or you're refering to opening a window because of the fumes?
<Gelfling> YES
<JacksonC> I usually dip my nonworking carts into sulfuric acid for 
   3-4 mins, then use some zippo fuel and light them on fire.. be 
   sure not to do too many at once tho could burn the house down
<wgungfu> WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT BEING ANY BETTER.  WOW, THIS 
   IS DIFFEREN'T WITH THE CAPS ON>
<JacksonC> of course after that the lable and plastic is gone
<JacksonC> but man do they work good
<Eppy> feh.  belt sander cleans contacts real good
<JacksonC> I use my belt sander for racing not carts !
<Gelfling> also cleaning carts etc I've found that the q-tips can 
   really stink
<Eppy> be sure to WEAR a DUST mask!!!
<wgungfu> YES, THE BETTER THE CLEANER THE MORE FUMES.  MAKES SENSE.  
   MAN, MY SHIT MUST BE ABLE TO CLEAN ANYTHING.  SHOULD STOP FLUSHING 
   IT.
<Gelfling> using the tape path head cleaning solution & toothbrush
<wgungfu> or rubbing alcohol works fine as well.
<Gelfling> to clean the cart slot WILL ELEMINATE that annoying
<wgungfu> hi-pro glo?
<Gelfling> purple discoloration
<Gelfling> in corners of screen
<Eppy> *blink*
<Gelfling> image
<JacksonC> that is of course after you take the speakers off of the 
   TV set
<Eppy> that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard
<Gelfling> not the case
<JacksonC> yeah thats pretty lame man
<wgungfu> JC and Eppy: Has he been ranting like this all night?
<JacksonC> dunno I just got here a few mins ago
<JacksonC> its been a pretty crazy ride so far
<wgungfu> I wish we'd just ban that stupid Digital Press connection 
   already.
<Eppy> gelfling = insane person
<Gelfling> wrong
<wgungfu> That's what an insane person would say.
<Eppy> ok, then.  not insane.  just an idiot.
<JacksonC> its digital it either works or it doesn't, discoloration 
   on the edges of a screen is an analog problem has about as much to 
   do with clean cart contacts as Gelfling does with sanity
<JacksonC> I think he has been using crack to clean the carts
<Gelfling> system contacts not cartridge
<Eppy> i think he forgot to open some windows.
<Gelfling> never have
<Gelfling> always opened them
<wgungfu> Ah, and as we all know - where the cartridge plugs in are 
   different contacts
than the cart contacts itself. ;)
<Gelfling> correct
<wgungfu> hehehe
<Eppy> what's good for removing blood stains from walls and carpet?
*** Arcadian sets mode: +o JacksonC
<Eppy> i mean a LOT of blood
<wgungfu> Yes, of course.  where the cartridge plugs in is analog, 
   where the cart is digital.
<Gelfling> have to check for the best way to remove blood
<wgungfu> JC: What's the best way to move an insane person from a irc 
   channel?
<JacksonC> usually +B
<Gelfling> other than purchasing a carpet cleaning machine & FOLEX by 
   the galloon
<Gelfling> I KNOW WHAT INSANE IS VISITED A MENTAL HEALTH UNIT YEARS 
   AGO
<Gelfling> BUT WAS NEVER A PATIENT
<Eppy> stop shouting, assface
<JacksonC> heh oh he is on jirc, that explanes it. forgot to check 
   that hadn't had one in a while
<JacksonC> we need to get them to take that page down
<wgungfu> jirc?
<wgungfu> javairc?
<JacksonC> java irc, on the digital press site
<wgungfu> Yah.
<wgungfu> That's why I said we should just perma-ban that.
<Gelfling> even gave the cleaning tips to Mr Robinson at the 2000 
   C.G.E
<JacksonC> no can do that, would make the higher ups irratated
<Eppy> nah.  it's amusing
<JacksonC> what about mrs robinson ?
<JacksonC> you know jesus loves her more than she can know
<Eppy> did she try to seduce you?
<wgungfu> Did you run away on a bus and look out the back window?
<Gelfling> didn't see her at the Blue Sky 
<wgungfu> Did you remember to open the window?
<Gelfling> Rangers booth
<JacksonC> why yes she did, I was like "look at my cart contacts 
   baby, they are shinyer than day one after a nuclear holocost"
<JacksonC> she as like "you can insert your cart into me any time"
<wgungfu> "Mrs. Robinson.......are you trying to clean me?"
<Gelfling> never happened
<Eppy> ooo, mama
<Eppy> was she glowing purple in the corners?
<JacksonC> I programed her EEPROM if ya know what I meen....
<Eppy> *wink wink*
<Gelfling> sick
<JacksonC> glowing, she was practicly spontainously combusting from 
   the hot cart egde contact action
<JacksonC> had some cart on cart action later on too
<shawnfaze> oh man
<shawnfaze> that's making me horny
<shawnfaze> serious up
<Gelfling> yeah right!!
<shawnfaze> no I'm serious
<wgungfu> Eppy: He cleaned her slot instead of Mr. Robinson's cock.  
   Because as you know, where it plugs in is completely different.
<shawnfaze> every time I see that slot I get aroused
<Eppy> gung: shoulda used the toothbrush.  that's key.
<Gelfling> sick new order filth
