Secret Room 2

Main Page
Heheh. I made another one last night. This was our second encounter with pure evil. Magus had heard about his great uncle's friend's mother's sister's ex-plumber, the recently-pronounced king of the entire dimension of Suptrigfant, having some trouble with a seemingly-omnipotent magic user, going by the name of Akfek. If this Akfek fellow were to take over the dimension of Suptrigfant, he would have the second most large and powerful dimension in existence (ours being the first) in his grasp, and would also have in his possession the Orb of the Magi...giving him the ability to warp to our dimension, with as many troops or weapons as his wicked heart desired. He...well, I'll let you see for yourself.

As I was lazy that day...come to think of it...I've been lazy every day I can remember...anyway, I decided to let Magus handle the problem himself, being that it was a personal issue, afterall. But, as you can see, things were not as they were expected to be, and I eventually had to get up off my lazy @$$ and run to the fight...which I decided not to do...but there are always other modes of transportation, fortunately. Afterward, we found RPGod at the county jail. He had been arrested for riding a chocobo at thirty miles past the speed limit, piss-drunk in a mage school zone. We bailed him out even though I'd already spent all my money on this ticket that was supposed to be so great but only gave me access to some stupid dancers that for some reason kept pulling me on-stage. I gave the sheriff a Pink Tail, and, for some reason, he got all excited and thanked me all the way out the door. I don't know what the big deal was...I found that piece of crap in an old trunk my grandpa had in the attic...you don't think it coulda been worth anything, do ya? Naw, that's silly. Anyway, I called headquarters to check up on everything; Czar was finishing up his The Meaning of Life mod, Alucard was playing Metal Gear Solid on his new PS12 (Czar had hacked an In-Town Time mod the previous day, and well...we forgot to buy any games...we did remember three days later though...nevermind), and from what he said, CCV was sleeping and everytime someone tried to talk to him he gave an auto-reply in backwards English, and Munk had been drugged in his sleep as a practical joke, and tricked by the others into thinking he was playing hide and seek, and so was enjoying his third hour of giggling quietly, crouched down behind the couch in the lounge as people walked by him and tried not to stare. A guest speaker, King Edgar, was keeping the mods occupied, and the UBB members and guests were busy arguing over who's "Who's poll is the best?" poll was the best, so everything was taken care of. We knew what that meant. Yeah, free night on the town! So we all went down to the biggest bar we could understand directions to, hung out, had a few drinks, and talked about old times. King Koopa, who happened to be in the bar, struck up a conversation to us about how he'd come closer to ruling the universe in his time than any Akfek could ever dream, which eventually became very boring. RPGod smashed a beer bottle over his head, starting a fight between us and a bunch of Goombas, and we were all arrested for intoxication assault, a 3rd degree felony, and thrown in the big house with all those gay mechanics from FF6, who kept mumbling something to each other about us dropping the soap or something. Luckily, Alucard had been watching us on a hex monitor (after a while, you don't even see the numbers...you just see Red Dragon, Blue Dragon...heheh = inside joke), and managed to gather the GSHI team together to hack a room modifier for us and warp us back to HQ. Once Czar found the address, RPGod randomly guessed the digits perfectly, and all we had to do was wait until we could go to the chow line so we could change rooms. We were glad to be back. I talked to Koopa on the phone a while back, and he said there were no hard feelings...although I suspect more and more that CzarDragon hacked an attitude mod for him...heheh. 'Till my next GSHI story, this is LB signing off to get some sleep. Peace.
Oh, this is a photo revealing the true purpose of the Brainjar...notice that I was able to capture words with this picture...I'm just that good of a photographer...heh...if you don't know what I'm talking about, that's because you're not in the GSCCC chat room enough, heh.
So to you who wields the Brainjar; Kefka practically 0wnz you, heheh.
OK, this's off subject...wait, there is no subject here...anyway, check this out. If you've ever played Civilization before, you should be impressed.
I actually didn't realize there were that many units there, and in fact thought that I was only attacking a settler, heh. I must admit, I looked at that screen for a few long minutes.
Here's an ad for Hexbits, made by Magus (Sugam).
How do we manage to fit those Hungarian children in every box? Well, that's a secret that only those at GSHI, Food Division know. Grab a box at your local GSHI-Mart, and get munchin'!
OK, I finally got GSHI Battle 2 up; thanks go to Magus (Sugam) for hosting it. I was having problems with the FC server (as usual), so he gave me the stats for one of his many accounts, and now the world can see the second great triumph of good over evil...have fun, all, and keep on hacking...I've returned.
Above is a pic I made for demonstration reasons on the GSHI UBB. I figured I should put it up here. Can you spot what's wrong? Heheh.
While scanning through the .lzs files of FF7 (using a program called FF7vMe, which is in the Downloads section), I found this to be the battle graphic of an enemy. Has anyone ever seen this in the game? Not me...perhaps the programmers had planned for us to fight the bomb in the Midgar Sector 7 plate sequence...
Today I made another big update...but more importantly, I hacked quite a bit, especially for FF7. It's good to be back...
I now use a program called ImageSearch (which can be found in the Downloads section), which allows you to grab PSX image files as used by a game's memory. Here's one of Tyrant, Final Stage, from RE2 (you may only know him as T...something, but he is actually the finished version of the RE monster Tyrant):
I also ripped this hidden image from a game, but I don't remember which one. It was probably either Grand Theft Auto, Twisted Metal 2, or Tekken 3. Either way, it's just wierd.
OK, for some reason, the GSHIBattle2.zip is offline again, this time on Mag's ftp account. We'll see what we can do to get it back up in the next few days. On a side note, I went and bought a standard male 25-pin D-Type to standard female 25-pin D-Type parallel cable today. It connected my GSPro to my PC perfectly through the printer port. I suggest you all get one. Anyway, the problem I ran into was that male to female parallel cables seem somewhat rare, even in places like Circuit City, who, by the way, did not have any. I finally found one at Office Depot, for $9.99. Good luck in getting one. Anyway, in light of that, I went and made some screen captures through my GS using a program called PSX Utils (which is not in the Downloads section due to my temporary failure to find the original that actually coincides with the manual). Here's what I've grabbed so far (explanations below pics):
An image displaying the abilities of my sprite control code, set in one of the rooms of the debug room. While Cloud stands to the right as part of the formation, I control Sephiroth.
Liquid Man's Test Zero code in action. I couldn't seem to get rid of that glitchy blotch near the left-hand corner of the screen; sowwy.
The famous "ENCOUNT ERROR", as viewed by use of my World Map Event Mod.
That's it for now. More later, perhaps.
OK, the 2nd GSHI Battle is up again; the problem was a simple error on my part in linking to the file on its ftp account, heh. Man, I'm tired. I'm going to sleep. Should update like hell tomorrow, though. If I have time, I'll hack a little, as well. Goodnight, everyone.
Well, I ended Munk's adminship. He hasn't been around for about four months...I hadn't thought about it until it was pointed out to me. If he comes back, he can have it back. On a plus note, I hired CollinsMix as my 2nd Graphics Designer, so now you can expect even more awesome graphics around the GSHI. Been hacking FF7. Got a lot of good projects going, so expect a few good codes sometime soon, or at least a few crappy ones, heh.
An entertaining little GIF...
This(above)'s from The Moogle Cavern (see the Links section). Damn good work...
LOL...this's from E-bay...can you tell me why this's obviously pirated? Heheh...read the bio. It's ripped off of a review from a Sega magazine. This game isn't very good, either...it even says so on the box!
Here's another one. Only for Super Game!
OK, I used ImageSearch on some RE2 (original version, Leon's disc) files...check out what I found.
Select Main Cast? I wonder if this was supposed to be an option in the game, but was removed at some point? I speculate it was. Here're a couple more:
Odd stuff...I advise everyone to get ImageSearch (Downloads section), and start snooping. It's actually kinda fun. OK, I'm done for today.
Heh, I saw this at a site yesterday, and I figured you guys oughtta see it, too.
LOL.
Yeah, smash those keys!
OK, I removed Czar from the staff list. When (or if) he returns, he can have his admin position back. The same thing goes for Munky. DarkSerge is the newest GSHI admin; everyone welcome him and all that. He seems to kick enough @$$, so I figure he'll do a good job.
Removed another admin today. Damn, I'm just knockin' 'em down like a drunk guy in a semi-truck on a dark road with garbage cans (heheh). Like the others; if he comes back and has the time for adminship still, it's his again.
A perfect representation of my vision of the GSHI underground base. This would just be the corridor connecting the main rooms as well as a few cabins for the staff. Cozy, eh? What's that on the floor? Damn those littering lamers! Guess we'll have to hire a GSHI custodian...
Heh; this is the title screen of a Chinese (not Japanese) Gameboy ROM. It's called Final Fantasy 4, has a title screen featuring FF7's Cloud, and is in reality, save the title screen, Final Fantasy III Legends (an old GB game). I find that funny as hell.
While hacking SNES Zelda, I made a few mistakes in screwing with random addresses in the RAM. This resulted in a change of general screen color, and in Link being stuck in bed. As you can see...he just can't seem to get out. Damn tucked-in sheets.
LOL...an example of one of my Zelda codes...
Link takes the princess back to his place, heh.
And a moonlight swim to end the evening...how romantic...
