-Figured I should mention this guy here. This awesome Japanese fellow takes old NES and SNES songs and makes some pretty grand, elaborate remixes. Now this is hardly common (IE Overclocked Remix), but these are VOCAL remixes. Check out his FFIV, Mario World, or Flash Man remixes. Expect me to report the latest coming from this guy in the future.

-Found an article on Lifehacker about secrets to shopping on Amazon. Things like secret deals using DealLocker (Really great for finding DVD Bargains), earning money through refunds, or having household supplies sent to you automatically in set intervals. Quite an enlightening read!

-The ESRB apparently has rated Earthbound for Virtual Console. Now this isn't a sure fire thing as other games have made the list only to be removed (Mario RPG and Kirby Superstar where are youuuu). Still better hope than nothing. I'm hoping to finally play the game myself.

-In case you haven't heard, Funimation's One Piece S1V1 DVD was released early. I got my copy today and finished watching the first disc and let me just say how AWESOME it is. As good as watching the new dub on TV and playing Unlimited Adventure, the new DVDs really raise the bar above those in script and performances. Vic Mignogna's We Are sounds great (and I'm not a huge fan of the original). And various scenes came out out great. Oh and for those watching the dub in the US, who might've not known, two new episodes aired in Australia and New Zealand. You can see the new opening and ending (speaking of Vic earlier, singing the latter).

Honestly I like the original OP "We Are" by the OP crew themselves, though I agree the original original isn't that good. I prefer the OP crew version. If you haven't heard it I could send you the song.

I looked at it and it was pretty nice.
It's nice that you started a blog, too. Put me in your blogroll. =P
I'll put you in mine. I just need to get into that mood again.
