That Old Nintendo Feeling
May 9, 2007
Last year, I started collecting Nintendo Entertainment System (or what we preferred in the old days just “Nintendo”) ROM’s. I occasionaly got this retro feeling to try stuff from the days of yore.
These days, you could download anything from the net. Started with ROM’s, emulators, 8-bit music, and of course the back end of a NES system, I became a NES junkie. But one thing missing there. I did not own a NES box. I mean, I once owned it, but I gave it to one of my nephews a couple years ago. One decision that would make me regret for the rest of time.
On Sunday, after having a conversation with my cousin, I accidentaly found out that he owns a NES box (damn, why I haven’t asked him before?). So we search it in his closet, Tested it, works fine. Bring it up to my room.Connect the audio/video cable (not surprisingly, it had only two kind of cable), the power adapter, and voila!
He owns two catridges consist of a couple of games (one of it was that infamous ‘n-in-one’ catridge, where they put n number of games, which actually an extraction from some level of games in there, lame yet funny)

Okay, life must go on, right? So with the spirit of Sumpah Pemuda and the recent festive of Pesta Blogger 2007. I officially announce that:
It's just around the corner, not very far away.
The reason? Well you can say that I'm getting bored with Wordpress and I want to try something new. But trust me, I won't move it anywhere else in the future, I will use patvandiest.com as my main blog, always. I promise you that!
So please... please update your bookmark, I will forever graceful if you do that. But if you are reading my blog through my Feedburner account, worry not, I will automatically update the link. That goes to my other social networking related link.
I won't delete this blog, though. I will keep it as past archives of my writings.
So, sorry for this inconvinience. I hope you don't mind. See you at my other room.
Sincerely Yours,
Patrick Gerard van Diest

According to Scoble, some regular iPhone user has the same problem too after the update that Apple released. It's getting hotter now. :) - #

Haha, I’m sorry, i’ve hunted this box to the deepest “Dungeons of Glodok” for months and still haven’t found it. So this one is so precious.
Hey, maybe when you actually find it, you can like bring it to some “toko elektronik” to fix it.
Yup, last night I played Contra (not the “Super” one, though). One heck of a game!
