I ordered 2 128k memory expansion cards(carts).

I haven't ordered the main Hydra attraction yet. I'm working out Christmas things and stuff with my family.
My brother Mark says not to order it before Christmas.
He is assuming that the price will go down around or after Christmas.
But the price will hold and be stable for a long time....and at $250.
And especially in December and around Christmas..there will be massively massive shoppers at shop n play with gifts and online ordering too.

ahhhhhhh!!!! MMSXP game! and real life too. Massively Massive Shoppers at XMAS n Play.

yet, UPS and FED-EX will be happy. I don't know about overtime and the workers. But its work

I was telling my brother about the one chip MSX and he was saying how you can hack those joysticks compilations you can buy which plug into TV's, namely referring to the C64 one, to allow you to put your own stuff on, like different C64 games.

hey DiablosDevil and agent smith,

I sorta feel down and upset. I'll get over it.

My main 2 interests...and for a long time..will be Blitz 3d and also the Hydra computer.
yET, now after the long wait and the Hydra computer finally coming out I'm both excited and stressed out. But also, other people from some other forums...don't think its a big deal now or just ignore it. And after all this time they were interested and we were talking and sharing about it.
It seems they are jerks and are playing one-upmanship with me and raining on my parade. Like, they could be jealous or even upset or nervous that theres another kid on the block and with a new toy/device. That the wait or talk about the Hydra is okay and interesting but when it comes to realization: oh oh!! he has his toy and is going to have fun and learning and coding with this Hydra beast. We better talk him out of it or get him all down...so a lot of his excitement and fun goes out of it.

Well...the heck with them!! They knew that I was serious about getting the Hydra. I walk the talk too! I'll gut them with my short sword.
but *sigh!*...in the future and with the up n coming XGS 2
I think it would be best not to tell anybody....until I check it out for myself and decide if I like or want it.

definitely won't go back to those sites for a long time...maybe not ever again.

serious!,
so squeaks

hey all.....

I'm in a better mood.

sharing and explaining to my brother about animation,3d graphics and all kinds of descriptive designers and artists of animation and modelling.

I truly want to do animation work.....the 'animate-designer'
excelesior!!


everything is also cleared up for the Hydra. Its going to be my major,early Christmas present. From my mom, my brother Mark, and my sister Diane too. Luckily and fortunately...I didn't rush online to purchase it.
Yet, I did purchse some 128k memory expansion carts.

I'll think I will celebrate and watch the DVD low budget movie of Hercules in the Haunted World.

cheers,

agent smith,

you didn't hijack my topic. Wasn't my topic to begin but the topics are open to anyone ....agreements,disagreements,rants, points of interests, questions and all. true.
I didn't know that you can order a non-RoHS version from Japan for usd 170. yet, I'll stick with the Hydra cause I'm a little bit more familiar with it and its within the USA too.

oh....sorry I misunderstod...mousey power blushes. I thought you meant over at Xgamestation site.
here or even at the Xgamestation site...the topics are open to anyone.

yet, while we are on this: I really don't care if the book is in color or in black and white. If it was in color...that would be ncie. But it doesn't suck to me cause its the knowledge and information contained therein. And then the wisdom and application onwards. true.
But now I see your point of mentioning if the Hydra can only contain the console and book too..I assume...and without the extra components and elements of the input devices. Cause of the shipping and handling costs...especially for people in other countries.
But the slim keyboard looks really nice and cool too.

cheers,
and understanding better

whoa!!

those are good ideas and suggestions.

yeah, how about an ebook download version of the book. and we can download chapter by chapter...or the chapters we want and when we want. good idea!


hey, let me talk with him about this and a few other ideas too.

cheers,

good idea,

cause Andres' book of the Black Art of 3d Game Programming is in ebook form and on the cd too. And rather have the bulky book in the package...just put it on the cd. true, I agree.
they eventually will...when, I don't know.

cheers,

but hey everybody,

I'm starting to calm down. I'm getting over the excitement and the entailing stress as well from the Hydra.
I'm returing and coming back down to reality.

The only time I remember that I was this enthused,excited and stressed out is when I bought the Apple IIe home computer and also a few days later I bought this post nuclear RPG called Wasteland from Egghead store. The game was made by Interplay and published by EA.
Lets just say that I played Wasteland from 11:30am in the morning.... and with only occassional bathroom breaks and a eating splurge at McDonalds... I played until 5:30am in the morning the next day.

so now...returning to normally abnormal, blood pressure flowing better, breathing better, headache disappearing, resuming Human shape and form from the Hulk...


cheers,

well agent smith,

I'd mention in a post to Andre(necron) about your suggestion and also Flying Cuccos' suggestion too.

Maybe he will for people living outside the USA. then again, I may propose to him that I will buy the book separately as well. Hopefully, this will lean towards some favorable and receptiveness from him on this approach. But, probably not.

cheers,
