During the initial review it even crashed on me a couple of times. While it was playable, it was very painful to play. Well, development on the project has picked up quite a bit, and speeds and compatibility are very noticably improved. Still using the same machine, I decided to record my latest results. Version featured is 0.9.6. (I have finished both Shadow of the Colossus - speed hack settings a must for that game - and We Love Katamari using this emulator.) Also featured: my strategy for using emulator save states for hunting metal slimes. Now if I could just figure out a way to make that alchemy pot work faster...

In my Video Vault segment I introduce Klaus Nomi, and in my personal icons segment I discuss Gen. Nguyen Ngoc Loan from the Vietnam War. The title of tonight's video blog is taken from a Bruce Lee interview which is shown at the start. Runtime: 34:19 Enjoy and leave feedback!

Also a short review of Wii's Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, the Pirate Bay's efforts to buy the micronation of Sealand, and my comments on the footage of the prehistoric shark found off the coast of Japan earlier this week. My video vault segment spotlights Gnarls Barkley, and my Icons segment hightlights my favorite civil rights activist, Frederick Douglass. Intro taken from the Twilight Zone's "Obsolete Man" (season 2 episode 29, the 65th episode in the original series). Please excuse a few bugs in production, minor video stuttering at various points.

Today's personal commentary is on DownsizeDC's Read The Bills Act, then I review Super Paper Mario, talk about the Digg/HD DVD revolt, Dell & Linux, and some random science news. This episode's Video Vault segment is on Kool Keith/Dr. Octagon, and my Icons segment is on Kurt Vonnegut. Episode 8 is coming soon but it still in production, look out for that as well. Compression error caused a pixelation effect 21-26 minutes in, sorry about that.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/" >GoodOlPA</a></p> Mon, 26 Jan 2009 08:21:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/videos/11/ GoodOlPA PA's Video Blog #7: 'Dig It' http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/videos/10/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/videos/10/" title="PA's Video Blog #8: 'Such a Sum' (Presidential Debates)" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_20e945f5.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="PA's Video Blog #8: 'Such a Sum' (Presidential Debates)" border="0" /></a></p> My Video Blogging efforts continue with this massive sit down commentary of the first wave of 2008 Presidential Debates, the first stage of each party's primaries, so hopefully I got to cover all the major party candidates. Included in this video is footage of the Democratic debates (April 26th), with my thoughts on candidates like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, as well as some of the sideliners like Dennis Kucinich, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, and Mike Gravel. Then I cover the Republican debates (May 3rd) which includes my thoughts on frontrunners Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney as well as some of the minor candidates such as Sam Brownback, Jim Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, Tom Tancredo, Tommy Thompson, and Ron Paul. For those in the long haul through this massive two parter, I threw in a Video Vault segment featuring Jamiroquai, maybe to keep your mind off all the political humbuggery. Introduction is some of the nation's earliest audio comments of one of my favorite presidents, "Cool" Calvin Coolidge, from the roaring 20's.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/" >GoodOlPA</a></p> Mon, 26 Jan 2009 08:13:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/videos/10/ GoodOlPA PA's Video Blog #8: 'Such a Sum' (Presidential Debates) http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/videos/9/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/videos/9/" title="PA's Video Blog #9: 'To Hell With You!'" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_fad9aa0d.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="PA's Video Blog #9: 'To Hell With You!'" border="0" /></a></p> A simple episode this time, covering the Ron Paul Campaign, my thoughts on Transformers & Evan Almighty, a review of some Games For Windows titles (Halo 2 PC & Shadowrun), a brief look at Jon Lovitz vs. Andy Dick, Michael Moore vs. CNN, and Chris Benoit vs. his wife & kid. My video vault segment is Gorillaz, "Rock the House" and I throw in my thoughts on Bob Ross for my personal icons segment.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/" >GoodOlPA</a></p> Mon, 26 Jan 2009 07:42:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/videos/9/ GoodOlPA PA's Video Blog #9: 'To Hell With You!' http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/videos/7/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/videos/7/" title="Thoughts Ep. 3 - Disaffect the Vote" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_d740958a.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Thoughts Ep. 3 - Disaffect the Vote" border="0" /></a></p> After a bit of consideration, I decided to document some of my thoughts on the pending election.

I wrap up with an Icons segment briefly discussing the life of Socrates, although not quite doing it as much justice as I'd hoped. Be sure to check out Part 1, where I go in-depth on my opinions of race and show a video vault segment of a little-liked group called the Psychopathic Rydas.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/" >GoodOlPA</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/tags/ phoebus"> phoebus</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/tags/apollo">apollo</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/tags/blog">blog</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/tags/box">box</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/tags/corruption">corruption</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/tags/halo">halo</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/tags/marijuana">marijuana</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/tags/medical">medical</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/tags/metroid">metroid</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/tags/orange">orange</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/tags/prime">prime</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/tags/socrates">socrates</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/tags/video">video</a></p> Thu, 08 Nov 2007 05:09:19 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/videos/3/ phoebus apollo blog box corruption halo marijuana medical metroid orange prime socrates video GoodOlPA PA's Video Blog #10: 'Rats & Spiders' Pt. 2 http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/videos/1/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/GoodOlPA/videos/1/" title="PA's Video Blog #10: 'Rats & Spiders' Pt. 1" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_d7a7292f.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="PA's Video Blog #10: 'Rats & Spiders' Pt. 1" border="0" /></a></p> The first part of my latest video blog covers the topic of social segregation and gives my opinion on the impact race culture has in our society. I also put it into the context of the recent Jena Six incident.
