Thrill Kill on Epsxe, Solution for black screen.

Hi guys. Many of you wrote me to ask  this question: "WTF, why I can' t play Thrill Kill on epsxe?". Things are easy don't worry, no plugin problems, neither protections or stuffs like that..... The black screen that you see is just something that epsxe can't emulate, is the message that mention about adult contents in the game and to proceed you should just press X + SQUARE and you will be able to play without any other problem!
This game is one of  the best ever released for PSX, enjoy!

Chankast Guide, SEGA Dreamcast Emulator

I never had a Sega Dreamcast even if I always wanted to, but I was young, few money and those few money was all for my dear PSX....

The Installation is not difficult, lets see...

Diet Coke and Mentos Eruption? it works!

I saw this for the first time from Mythbusters on Discoery, after that youtube users made millions videos about it, there was even some music videos, but I was always wondering if this thing works or not? It passed a lot of time but I finally bought some soda bottles and some mint mentos... this is what happened:

PEPSI + MENTOS:  The gaiser was not so high, I used 3 candies and nothing much happened

COKE + MENTOS: this was better, not yet like in the videos i saw but good enough

COKE ZERO + MENTOS: Same as normal Coke

DIET COKE + MENTOS: This is it! The eruption was much higher than the other soda drinks i used! just 3 candies but the eruption was almost double than pepsi and much higher than the other Coke.... Unbelievable !!!

I will make soon some videos too.... just the time to make some decent videos and trash more bottles of Cola, till then I put the funniest videos about Coke & Mentos Eruption...

Project 64 Guide, the best emulator for NIntendo 64!

 

I never had a Nintendo 64, I was  a Playstation-holic and the Nintendo console seemed a toy for kids, nothing that could be compared to my amazing PSX! So I just discover now, thanx to the project 64 team, some amazing games that made history as Mario Kart or Mario64.
Talking about the emulator I think is really simple if compared to epsxe, but maybe the compatibility with the roms is not high as in the psx emulator, anyway Project64 runs very well and I am sure that if the team will continue the development of the emulator they can reach almost the perfection.
Let's see how to make P64 Works...

Without this game probably we could not play to Guitar Hero or Beat Mania. Parappa The Rapper put in a video game the idea of Simon, push a button in the right moment, a thing that inspired many developers in the future.
Of course this game started the Rhythm games, not very cmplex but still a good game of this genre, the plot, the characters amd the songs are very interesting and funny, the gameplay is just simple but not boring.
Let's see better something more about Parappa The Rapper...

Gmail or Yahoo Mail?

According to the Hitwise.com rankink of the 31st october 2009, Yahoo is the most popular webmail provider in the US, followed by Hotmail, Gmail and AOL. So, why I don' t talk about Hotmail too? the answer is simple, the service that Hotmail provide can't be compared with gmail or yahoo, all the users that Hotmail can ave are mostly for chatting reasons.

In this post I will just write my opinions about the two webmail providers, good and bad things, I use accounts in both providers everyday, for work and for contact my family and friends. For this blog I use yahoo, for another blog gmail, for my job just Gmail.. let's see how to choose the right account for you...

Klonoa: Door To Phantomile (playstation) - Review, Cheats, Download, Gameplay

Very popular in Japan, a bit less in America and Europe but this game was one of the most original platform I ever played. As you can see in the video Below the gameplay is not in the common 2d but neither in the Crash 3d version, this game can be categorized as a middle way, many changing of cameras, the game is very fast and can be considered  an original mix of almost every glorious platform.
I used to play too much with mario, sonic and crash, Lomnoa take me back to the platforms, this game is too funny to be true!!

Sega Mega Drive / Sega Genesis

Mega Drive, in Northern America Genesis for some copyrights problems, was one of the best console ever released and had a big fight at the time with the Super Nintendo.
By talking about this console we have to go back in 1988 when in Japan was released the Mega Drive, this will be the best SEGA' s console ever with more than 29 Million units sold, but numbers were  not enough to conquer the japanese market where Nintendo was reigning. The success of Mega Drive was visible in Europe and in the U.S. where it was released in 1990 and for a long time the SEGA console was the leader against the war with Nintendo. Now the Mega Drive is still sold in Brazil with some new versions of this system.

Nascar Rumble (Playstation) - Review, Download, Videos, Cheats

Let's go back in 2000, this game left a lot of good memories to me and my friends, the multyplayer was something very funny, in fact a multytap and some beers warmed many nights of that cold winter.
I am a big Fan of Nascar but this is nothing about nascar, the only real thing about the brand are just the cars, but it had many good critics and reviews at that time cuz it was funny and super fast game with many weapons in wipeout style.
Let's check more details...

Ridge Racer (Playstation) - Review, Download, Cheats, Gameplay

It' s amazing to play again to a game that made history, it took me back in 1996 when I bought my PSX, for the first period I had only some demos and the demo of this game used to run in the console for about 5 hours per day, just one track... boring? well, not at that time! It was something amazing.
Some years later I bought the platinum edition, I was playing with games like TOCA and Gran Turismo but Ridge Racer was always one of the most played, maybe it was old and passed but still charming and meaningful game.
Now after many years and many generations passed I play again at this game..... what I think?... Let's see....
