Hey! I gave you that job. Now stop messaging me on Friday's, I have a life!

~diospadre



MP3's are cool. We'll let you post it just this once. If we get sued, though, you're going down too, fool!

Stuff and the Typing of It

Hi. I would like to tell you that forums are cool. I can go there and ... type stuff. I can also type stuff in this little box that says 'your mailbag letter'. Ain't life wonderful? Well I have to go watch Our Lady Peace on TV now, bai.

~Reyna



Look I'm typing too. Type type type. Clickity clikity clickity. Bah I'm bored of this. Your thoughts, Tomato?

~diospadre



Idiot.

Yo-Yo's of Death

Um... our forums rule. My question has nothing to do with forums. In fact, it has nothing to do with SM.net. I'm just wondering when the world will see a sequel to the game Startropics. Remember Startropics? The game of yoyo-shootin', island hoppin' fun? As well as the relatively lame Startropics 2: Zoda's Revenge. So, when's it gonna happen? Huh??? 'Cause if it doesn't, I'm gonna have somethin' to say about it, see?

(SimonBob proceeded to mellow out and listen to Hotel California.)

~SimonBob



Um, you answered your own question. We will see a sequel of StarTropics about a year after the original StarTropics was released. It was called Zora's Revenge. I loved StarTropics, that thing with dipping the paper in water was cool. The plot was holding up pretty well to. At least until the crystal midget people came out or something.

~diospadre



StarTropics is by far one of the best games I have ever played. The sequel wasn't as good, but compared to other NES games it was still good. If you're lucky, I'll start a C-Island.Net. But that probably won't happen.

Forums!

I live on the forums. If I weren't typing now, I would be scanning Freaky Magic, learning about Graal, or creating another pointless If.. GET OFF MY KEYBOARD CAT!!! (my aunt's cat was just on my keyboard, rendering me unable to type, and about to go into simalirity to Dilber induced mucsle spasms) in short, the forums are my social life.

P.S.: if Rune is reading this, I NEED KIYONE PICS!!!!!!

~wIzMo



You know when I put this article in the mailbag I thought to myself "dude wheres my car" I mean "dude this is like 3 sentences long its good." But now that I've actually read it, there's like no content. Take out the whole cat fiasco and its like "I lik forums." Shame on you Wizmo. What do you think about this sad little letter, Mato?

~diospadre



Idiot.

The Easy Way Out

why doesnt ness just beat pokey to death with a baseball bat when pokey trys to run away in happy happy village?

~joel



There's a rule in video games that goes something like "If you want to do something, you are not allowed to." I think.

~diospadre



That was in the Japanese version, and that's when the game ended. They couldn't have violence like that in the American version though, so they took that out and subsequently the game became longer.

~Tomato


Newsletters

I was curious: whatever happened to the archive of EB newsletters? I wanted to get any of the newsletters I don't already have. :)

~PikaPuff



Hey I thought we had one too. I probably have some on one of my other omps, I'll dig around them and post 'em up.

~diospadre



The newsletter section is being totally redone. We're gonna hire a new guy, use a new format, and me and reid are going to personally supervise the first few newsletters to make sure they go out. We've had lots of newsletters, I wonder if anybody still has them lying around? If anybody does, mail them to me at tomato@starmen.net!

Forum Topics

I think the forums are good, but there haven't been any interesting topics since frodis' "Vivos Are Evil" topic. Of course, I shouldn't be in a position to say that they are boring considering alltogether I have over 1600 posts. Plus diospadre wont give me my custom rank until I finish survivor *whine*

~Sling



That Vivo topic was weird. I still think its funny that Rune's comp cant play vivos though. As for the boring topics thing, this kind of falls under the "Get off your butt and make some interesting topics" category*.

And stop whining about your 1600 posts. You are weak, everyone knows dougertous is the higest poster ever.

*Not really a category. I just made it up.

~diospadre



That topic scared me. For those who don't know, all the posts in that thread were in the form of a letter. I'm glad I didn't see it until after i took my heart medicine! 1600 isn't very much, keep working!

~Tomato


Why is this letter here?

The forums are good. They're only good because of me, though. I make everything good. Bow to me. Worship me. Sacrifice women to me.

Or you could just ignore me, which is what most people do when I slip into raving maniac mode.

~Rune



Rune you sure are weird. If we sacrificed women to you how would you get a girlfriend? I doubt the little green midget is really enough for you. Anyway, I think Tomato has a few choice words for you.

~diospadre



Idiot.

Lunch

Uhh... It's 12:30 in the uhh... morning... and Luna and is threatening me to send to the mail bag, so... WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

.... What'd you staffers have for lunch or breakfast to day... uhh.. I'm getting scared now... I'm shyyyyy... Bye

~Regulas



I ate four slices of really crappy pizza. The first two were better than the las because most of the crust and bread were missing. Maybe the last two pieces were really just some cheese. Hmmm...

~diospadre



I had curry rice and something else. No tomatoes today.

~Tomato


Petition...?

Hi. What happened to the Earthbound64 petition? If it's still around then could you tell me where it went? Also, if it's gone, then you should make one where you don't have to do that digital signature thing. I had clue how to do it even though I wanted to sign. Maybe you could redo it, but keep all the previous signatures and make it so stupid people like me can sign it. I think it's a good idea anyway...

~Kevin Rausch



Digital signature? Huh? The petition i signed only required you to type in your name. Maybe Xodnizel hacked you. Anyway I'm gonna get the petition up in viewable form for all a little later this week.

~diospadre



It was sent to NOA and NOJ. No word yet. We should have it in downloadable form pretty soon. Go over to http://www.starmen.net/petition and http://www.starmen.net/pet to see our 2 petitions we've done.

~Tomato


Olé!

Buenas noches, Matt:

No, no hay examen final en esta clase. Creo que voy a tener los resultados del examen 3 el lunes y los pondre en Mallard gradebook cuando los tenga. Nos vemos.

~diospadre's Spanish Teacher



Muchos gracias por no tengo final! Tu me haces muy tonto con tu "Spanish 210" Soy mas estupido por sacar tu clase. Por ese, gracias.

~diospadre



Yo como en el bańo. Please use our official languages of English or Japanese from now on.
