Aren't there classics besides Mario, Sonic and Megaman though? I was thinking of buying some off the Virtual Console, but I'll go with those suggested since most are available on Steam.
My first platformer is going to be very simple (between Mario and Megaman in design), just so I can learn the basics of developing games and properly structuring them.

Don't forget WonderBoy and Alex the Kidd!
Knytt Stories is free and pretty awesome.
It's the sequel to Knytt and is a better game, but both are worth playing. You only really need to play one for research though. It's kind of a simpler Metroidvania with some nice wall jump mechanics.
Saira was also pretty good and did some unique interesting things. You can get it now in the Indie Gala bundle (pay what you want), or I have a spare Steam code if you want a free copy.
Would also be a good idea to try Within a Deep Forest, although Knytt is probably the better game. It does have different mechanics that would be worth a look at though.

This bundle also includes the Hacker Evolution games which I was looking at, paid $5 for the lot, can't go wrong! Also they give out individual steam codes which is a nice touch over the one steam key.
Edit: Also if you buy the bundle look at as my email confirmation went to the Spam box in Gmail.

I certainly have an account, but I have never received mail from them due to not subscribing to anything. And yes it is about the xbox update.
I couldn't give a shit.

Stop complaining and go see a specialist tomorrow. Could be an ear infection or swelling blocking it up. Best to get it sorted out sooner rather than later. If there is an earthquake think how horrible your balance is going to be when you are running for your life.

God DAMN, that's a good deal. How had they not sold out? If you need a transfer cable, holler. I think I have the disc somewhere, too.
I got Shadows of the Damned! I think the shipping was mega quick, too... pretty sure I ordered it, what, 10 days ago?
The Ballad of John Riccitello is so fucking spot on, despite being YEARS after Remo wrote it.
I fucking love Everlong, too. I'm not a massive fan of all their stuff, but when they hit a home run, they really fucking knock it out of the park. IMO, Grohl has shown himself to be far more talented and perhaps more influential (maybe, I dunno) that Cobain ever was. Take THAT, Courtney. Also, I think my favourite bit in any of their videos is the Big Me elevator music playing in the clip for Monkey Wrench. I'd kill to have a copy of that as a ringtone or something.
FWIW, the video was done by Michel Gondry. If you didn't know that already, then you suck and should check out some of his works, man.

Is this what you were looking at Shaneus?
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB 1600MHz 1.5V for $55
ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 Motherboard for $139
Don't see the point in overclockable RAM or lower CL. Motherboard has SATA3, 7.1 Audio support and rear USB3.0 support (none at the front though). Looks good. MSY in Geelong would be even cheaper, give them a ring so they can get stock in just in case. They have a much better range than other places though. They are also open on Sundays which is great!
212 EVO CPU cooler for $39 would be a great idea, latest update of the 212+, will allow OC around 4GHz hopefully.
Crucial M4 SSD 128GB for $249 if you are feeling frisky. Mine came with the 0009 firmware so they should all be up and current. Very convenient but quite pricey.
Thinking of a new case too? PSU?
Hopefully Fred can let us know if I am steering you the wrong way.
I fell off the no Vanilla Coke wagon today after a horrible day at work, looks like Christmas time is the worst time of year for public housing. No one got stabbed today yet thankfully though! Red Rock Deli and Vanilla Coke consumption has skyrocketed since taking this stressful job. Put on 20 kilos in 2 years.
No regrets for delicious Sushi!

I should go to the docs, Gotta figure out a time. But knowing my luck it will end up vanishing by the time I actually get there.
It is my speakers that are causing me to hear some distorting. I should try my headphones from the PC and my iPhone headphones.
I missed the question! You're right about the RAM in any case. As long as the manufacturer says it works with the mbd chipset. I hate how the Corsair website doesn't tell you this at a glance (it does tell you with some digging). The G Skill one does which is why I usually end up recommending that.

First JB, then Harvey Norman and now Target with the great 360 deals! Maybe I should hold off and wait for the inevitable Dick Smith response.
I can't be the only one who makes toast with one Peanut Butter, one Vegemite and then puts them together and eats it like a delicious sandwich right?

Ah good point! Totally forgot about GSkill which is actually the RAM I grabbed myself!
G.Skill Ripjaws 2x4GB 1333MHz for $49 which is actually cheaper too
NEEDS to be done. Tastes so much better mixed in together. Perfect buddies they are, you can tell they have been best friends since that night they got wasted during O'Week together.
Yeah, I already had something in mind from the same query on another forum... same mobo, different RAM (the G.Skill RipClaw 2x8gb 1600MHz). Case is all sorted (still rocking the Coolermaster 690-II Advanced) but might look into that heatsink, though. All up I'd be up for around $450, which way cheaper than I thought it would be to upgrade my core components.
As for storage, I'm already set with the OCZ Vertex 2. It's not SATA3, but for what I need it for it's just fine. PSU is all good as well (Thermaltake Toughpower 750W, powers what I have fine, and from what I understand the newer mobo and CPU should actually consume less power).
Actually, I wonder if my current heatsink will work with the new CPU. HMMMMMM. Fake edit: Nopers.
On the RAM, I assume most big brands are much of a muchness, but will 1600MHz be enough?
Do they still sell diet vanilla Coke? I remember loving that shit, because the blandness of all the sugar substitutes cancelled out the (IMO) excessive sweetness of the vanilla, giving it a nice taste that wasn't at all overpowering. If you can find it, I highly suggest buying a shitload.I fell off the no Vanilla Coke wagon today after a horrible day at work, looks like Christmas time is the worst time of year for public housing.

Vanilla Coke Zero is the new hotness. I think it tastes just as good if not better

Not a fan of the fake Vanilla Cokes. Needs to be packed with sugar damnit!
I went with 1333MHz as it is cheaper and everywhere I read made it seem like there isn't any real need for 1600 and above. Looks like it may be more important in the future to have a sizeable amount rather than the speed anyway.

$169 for a 4GB X360, I assume without Kinect, is a good deal. I'm not even sure we have any left though, just tons of the Kinect bundle.
I'm working tomorrow right when the sale starts. That should be fun.
Plenty fine. RAM speeds are one of those things only the most anal overclockers and benchmarkers, or those running the right software, see any benefit from. For gaming you won't really notice any performance increase between standard RAM speeds and expensive, high speeds.

So the first song in 10 years by The Mark of Cain (Australia's greatest hard-rock band) has been released and is called Barkhammer. In order to hear it you have to have subscribed to their newsletter up to and including the 1st of December.
So, is it any good? Fuck yes. Whist not a radical departure from their previous work there is a noticeable lift in John Scott's singing which was rather surprising.
I have to say it's made the wait for their new album early next year excruciating.

Their last album This Is This has Stanier on drums as well. Henry Rollins recorded a bit for the new album which is a nice reunion considering he produced Ill at Ease.
I think I've seen the Mark of Cain live more than any other band. Except for maybe Devin Townsend.
goddamnit, I walked into one today >_<
Vanilla Coke Zero? Fuuuuuuuck. Must try.
PS. Thanks RS and EC on the RAM tip. Turns out my local MSY doesn't have ANYTHING in stock, and none seem to stock that CM 212 EVO HS. I might try North Melbourne as they're kinda on the way home (near a train station I always go to) but if not, then it's fate and I'll just skip it.
But damn, I'd really like to see the difference b/w a Q9550 Core2Quad and an i5-2500K. Really would.
The story is at least as good as a series of 24. Take that as you will.

A guilty pleasure for the inner right wing hawk that lives in each of us is how I would put it.
Gameplay is phenomenal though.
The Kindle is not well suited to colouring books. Crayon is pretty hard to get off the screen.
