Open Sourcing the Sonic Community
Posted by voice | Filed under Rant
Recently an interesting topic of discussion popped up on Sonic Stuff Research Group (SSRG)’s message board over the sharing of information in the form of displaying the M68K ASM source code for Jumpdash in Sonic 1. Somehow doing so ruffled some feathers amongst some veteran Sonic hackers who began to say doing so is ruining [...]
A Big FU to Windows Advocates
Posted by voice | Filed under Rant, Techie
So yeah, I love how I constantly hear how Windows is superior to Linux because “it just works”. Well you know what, the past 5 hours or so I’ve found that to be a complete bold-faced lie. My sister got a Toshiba Satellite A215-S7422 laptop from BestBuy a while back and has spent that time [...]
Another Fun Night In the Sonic Community
Posted by voice | Filed under Rant
Here I am, late Sunday night, up to tell you about the excitement that transpired today in the Sonic Community. Ofcourse by mentioning Sonic Community I assume that you’ll immedately imagine a bunch of nerds obsessing over a blue hedgehog thats just a video game character, and for the most part you’d be right. However, [...]
WKOW/College Girl vs. Internet
Posted by voice | Filed under Rant
Many of you have probably read on digg, reedit, slashdot, ect. of the girl in Wisconsin who dropped her online classes because she ordered a Laptop with Ubuntu installed on it. What followed is probably a big wall of bashing from the Internet that rivaled the ignorance of Mac users on the Internet. However having [...]
Christmas Advertising Already?!

Posted by voice | Filed under Rant
Been a while so its time for another fun rant from me. Back in June of this year I decided to bite the bullet and buy a PS3, 40GB model ofcourse, I ain’t paying an extra $100 for 40GBs more of space and at the time 40GB was $399, guess I should have waited [...]
Comcast’s Bandwidth Cap
Posted by voice | Filed under Rant
As you may have heard in recent days, Comcast has instituted a monthly bandwidth cap of 250GB/mo. My personal opinion about this is that we the Comcast Customers are going to get screwed over big time. Why so? Well, first off lets go over the cap itself, 250GB a month, a lot of people [...]
The Mojave Experiment
Posted by voice | Filed under Rant, Techie
Old news, but I feel I need to chime in my two cents about this ad campaign. For those who don’t know what its all about, The Mojave Experiment is a campaign by Microsoft to prove that all of the “hate” towards Windows Vista is baseless claims. They collected a group of people, sat [...]
Banned From Sonic Retro
Posted by voice | Filed under Rant
Well, it finally happened, and to be honest I didn’t think it would ever happen. Thursday I was finally hit with the ban-hammer by Tweaker, glined from BadnikNET and misfit’ed from the Sonic Retro board. So what exactly caused this event to happen? A simple statement, voicing my dislike for a new bot the administration [...]
