First, thanks to everyone for your kind words--I have become less and less worried of embarrassing myself in goofy videos.


... You're unusually and perpetually happy...


My favorite things in life are very dark/sad/depressing/pessimistic (films/songs/stories/art), so I suppose it all balances out. Seriously. My favorite chocolate: BITTERSWEET. See what I mean? Seriously, though, I have extra (un)healthy servings of  stress/frustration in my diet...like everyone. Why can't stress have one positive benefit? Like...freshen my breath? Why do I have to worry about ass-breath in addition to everything else?

Goofiness is my coping mechanism.



Oh wait, you are an actor?


My over-acting was ridiculous! I should have toned it down a bit...luckily, my inability to keep a straight face will keep me out of the acting profession (I kept laughing the entire time, especially when I got on the floor--ha!).



Loved the combination of camo pajama pants with the dress shirt!


I was hoping someone would appreciate that combo . I wore those Camo PJ pants at family Christmas party yesterday with a similar dress shirt. FASHION BE DAMNED, those PJ pants are comfortable.



You totally look like such a happy boy playing your freshly opened game !!


I'll tell you why: I had forgotten about the awesome tune that plays during the bonus stages! SUCH A GREAT TUNE and I had not listened to it in a long, long time. NightWolve will notice that this song has a somber undercurrent--my favorite (in fact, I prefer to spell "somber" as "sombre"...it just captures the mood better. Like "kool" instead of "cool".)

That spot is untouchable. It goes to Macaulay Culkin. An old TG-16 advertisement invokes the child star's love for NEC's console.

Anyway, Macaulay posts here, from time to time, but prefers to be discrete. You might be able to figure out his username if you look up members who've had an account for more thean 8 years...

I voted thesteve (AKA stevie wonder) in another thread. ;) Sure, he's typically very, very short on words (it's hard to get more than 2-3 sentences out of him in a post or PM), and I'd rather talk to our mascot esteban most of the time, but you take his technical contributions into account, a) early designs of the S-Video circuit, b) an affordable, Do-It-Yourself, YPbPr Component circuit, c) standardizing a bigger 3.5" LCD mod for your TurboExpress, d) being, overall, frighteningly knowledgeable with NEC hardware issues, both electrical and mechanical, and having resurrected tons of dead NEC systems for the folks, I put him in the top spot, most certainly he'd belong somewhere in the top 5 by others reckoning no doubt.

The video was nothing short of a masterpiece but holy shit was you getting on the floor in front of the fireplace funny as hell.  Brilliant!
All is well. :)
