...well, if you can draw and scan in more, go discounts!

oh, I also got to play those rhythm games you'r always posting links to on youtube. The Pop'n one with 9 buttons and Beatmania DX (seven keys and a scratch record)

pop'n was fun but I didn't reallly like most the songs. I didn't like all the keys so close on Beatmania DX, but I liked the songs much better.

Pop'n with Beatmania DX's songs would be cool

[Sayara]

Some of them are in pop'n

Like that song COLORS from DDR is in both games.

heh, I'm sure if i could have gotten better in the very short amount of time I had, I probably would have gotten to better songs. My difficulty level only went around 9 and 10. It was cool though. The owner of the game was pretty insane at it, hands were real fluid and everything. I asked him how much it cost for everything and he said around $250, he gets most of his stuff from ebay.

he had brought some other rhythm games, like the taiko drum one. But pop'n, beatmania DX, and guitar hero were the most popular and so the others weren't played, since it was a local anime/vidgame convention, it was up to popular opinion to decide what was played.

I also got to see Miyuzaki's son's new movie Gedo Senki based off the Earthsea novels. I wasn't aware that they had any popularity attatched to them short of the sci-fi channels show. I had read them a years back when they were still coming out, pretty good series. The movie was good to, though my friends said it was hard to tell what was goin on, I didn't have a problem though. From what I gathered at the convention, it's not supposed to hit US shores as a dub for a year or so, maybe longer. I'm skeptical of that though.

May I ask why they're called Rambo apples?

Do they taste like machine gun bullets?

[Siyamak]

Ever wondered where Sylvester Stallone's character Rambo got his name?

Me neither... However I stumbled upon some interesting information in correlation to Sweden celebrating the 300 year jubilee of our Botanist, Physician and Zoologist Carl Von Linné (also known as Carolus Linnaeus), the man who organized and gave names to the world's plants, animals and gave us the name of Homo Sapiens.

In 1639, a swedish family living in Ramberga left for America, like a lot of Swedes have done for centuries. With them they brought the seeds of swedish apples. Upon arrival they took the last name of Rambo. Most likely a referral to their original home in Ramberga.

They planted the seeds and the apples were subsequently named Rambo. Carl Von Linnés student, Pehr Kalm travelled to America in the mid 1700's and found the tree and spoke to a descendent of the Rambo family who described the apple as very suitable for the making of cider.

A couple of centuries later in America, the scriptwriter of the movie Rambo was trying to come up with a last name to his character. His wife walks in the door with apples and a bottle of cider made of Rambo apples.

The rest is, unfortunately, history.

not really sure of the accuracy, but the source has mexican music to it!
