Mega Man Finally on Atari 2600...I've been waiting 20 years! (Video)



Boss Battle...what an epic battle!

Mega Man Finally on Atari 2600...I've been waiting 20 years!

Wired.com posted "It's official: Mega Man has now appeared on every single game system. This bit of retro homage -- a Mega Man game progammed for the Atari 2600 -- was intended to be part of the i am 8-bit exhibit, but didn't make it in for some reason or another, probably for missing the deadline."

Too bad there are not too many Atari 2600's around anymore...I think they might be 20 years to late! Oh well, better luck next time!

Yahoo sued for informing China on dissidents

CNN.com reports that Yahoo is being sued by The World Organization for Human Rights USA, who "is seeking unspecified damages and wants Yahoo to actively secure the release of any detainees."

"Yahoo has acknowledged turning over data on its users at the request of the Chinese government, saying company employees face civil and criminal sanctions if they ignore local laws."

Another All-American to Join the Trojans

As if there isn't enough already, ESPN.com reports Arkansas quarterback and Parade High School Player of the Year Mitch Mustain plans to transfer to USC next year after he and his head coach did not see the offense going in the same direction.

It can't hurt to get another top quarterback, considering we already have two waiting in Booty's shadow (Sanchez and Alex Corp) but I guess it just shows Mustain does not mind competition, as there is certain to be plenty of it next spring!

UNC Wright to NBA

ESPN.com reported yesterday that UNC's freshman forward Brandon Wright will leave the Tar Heels after just one season and head to the NBA. As Wright if a sure top ten pick, and some have him as high as third, "he just couldn't pass on the chance to take care of his family by entering the NBA draft."

Like Nick Young, Wright found a way to better his family's financial situation, it just sucks for Trojan and Tar Heel fans that they do not get to see them anymore playing college basketball.

Nooooo! (follow up)

Well ESPN.com confirmed Nick Young's decision to pass on his senior season at USC and enter the NBA draft.

"I want to buy my mom her first house. That's one of the main reasons I made this decision," Young said Tuesday at a news conference on campus. "It was tough for us. They've been behind me all the way."

I am happy for Young and his family, now they will have financial stability, it just sucks he couldn't hang around another year.

Lil' Romeo to be a Trojan?

According to ESPN.com rapper Lil' Romeo, who plays basketball on the Beverly Hills High School basketball team wants to play ball at USC. He said he eventually wants to play for the NBA.

Why do all the basketball players want to be rappers and the rappers to be basketball players?!!

Monday, April 16, 2007

Nooooo!

Well, according to Andy Katz of ESPN.com, tomorrow (Tuesday) USC men's basketball swingman Nick Young will announce he will enter the NBA draft.

I really don't know what to say other than that sucks!!

For All You Concert Goers

I found this list of spring/summer music festivals on the Rolling Stone website. It has a wide range of festivals and some of the anticipated crowds are insane (1 million?!!).

You never know, you might like some of the musicians preforming...

Our Turn

ESPN.com reported UNC men's basketball Sophomore standout forward Tyler Hansbrough and Freshman all-ACC guards Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington will all return next season. As a North Carolina fan growing up I must admit I am pretty excited they all returned.

But what would be even more exciting is if Trojan guard Gabe Pruitt and forward Nick Young also returned for next season! Then our preseason ranking as #6 would definitely be legit!

Quote of the Day

I was watching the Colbert Report today (a rerun from last night) and he had some a lady who had her own celebrity gossip website on, and who had also written a book about how her family was homeless at times while growing up.

Anyway, he was asking her if it was intentional that she writes about the fairytale, candy-coated world of celebrities and Colbert said "Celebrities are like unicorns, they aren't even real."

I just thought that was hilarious....hopefully you do to!

Picture from Italy

My friend is on his Mormon mission right now and he won't be back until next May. Anyway he sent me a picture from where he stayed in Italy a few weeks ago...I don't really know where, all I know is northern Italy, around Pisa I think. I think the picture is awesome!

3 more weeks of school

Why does it always seem that the whole semester always goes by extremely fast but the last few weeks cant seem to come fast enough! I think I'm in that period right now...hopefully the end of April will come soon enough!

Next year's ranking: #6...for basketball!

I just think it is awesome that ESPN analyst Andy Katz has us ranked #6 for next year's men's basketball season....plus #1 in football, the future is exciting!
