It’s an ordinary afternoon. I’ve just dumped my heavy backpack on the floor, kicked off my sneakers, and hit the power button on our family’s giant beige desktop tower. The machine sounds like a jet engine warming up, the heavy-ass CRT monitor blinks awake, and that glorious Windows startup chime hits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: times;&quot;&gt;Do I want to do homework? Absolutely not. I am here for one thing and one thing only: MOPy Fish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: times;&quot;&gt;If you were a kid glued to a PC in the late nineties, you remember this absolute legend. MOPy wasn&#39;t some boring screensaver with geometric shapes bouncing around. No, MOPy was a full-on virtual pet—a bright orange blood parrot cichlid with a permanently dramatic, pouty face who lived right on my desktop.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: times;&quot;&gt;And man, did he live up to his name. If I ignored him for too long to play *SimCity* or surf random Geocities pages, MOPy would literally sink to the bottom of the tank, slouch his little shoulders, and look so depressed that I’d feel like a terrible parent. Naturally, I’d panic, drop everything, and feed him just to cheer him up. We had a real bond, me and this pixelated drama queen. He kept me company while my mom yelled at me to get off the internet because someone needed to use the landline.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: times;&quot;&gt;The Plot Twist: Wait, My Fish Was a Printer Ad?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: times;&quot;&gt;Fast-forward to me recently falling down a 2 AM nostalgia rabbit hole, trying to figure out where this fish actually came from. And guys? It turns out my digital best friend was secretly a corporate marketing plant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: times;&quot;&gt;Hold onto your floppy disks, because the real backstory is hilarious: MOPy Fish was made by Hewlett-Packard in 1997.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: times;&quot;&gt;Yes, HP. The printer company.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: times;&quot;&gt;Turns out, &quot;MOPy&quot; wasn&#39;t just a cute pun about him being a sad boi. It stood for &quot;&lt;b&gt;Multiple Original Print&lt;/b&gt;.&quot; HP had just released some heavy-duty office laser printers they called &quot;Mopier&quot; printers that could spit out multiple copies without crashing. To hype up corporate office hardware, some absolute mad genius in a marketing department somewhere thought: *&quot;You know what kids love? Virtual pets. Let&#39;s make an orange fish.&quot;*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: times;&quot;&gt;I can&#39;t even process it. Millions of us were out here stressing over a virtual fish, completely oblivious to the fact that we were basically being brainwashed by Big Printer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: times;&quot;&gt;Looking back, it’s hilarious how easily amused we were back then. We didn&#39;t need insane graphics or complex open-world games. We just needed a grumpy orange fish swimming across a low-res Windows background while our modem shrieked its dial-up death rattle in the corner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: times;&quot;&gt;Honestly? Peak childhood. Did you ever have MOPy swimming on your screen, or were you too busy trying to keep your Tamagotchi from starving?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/feeds/4023185865012199970/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/2026/09/the-bizarre-history-of-mopy-fish-hps.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4219176648621001265/posts/default/4023185865012199970'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4219176648621001265/posts/default/4023185865012199970'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/2026/09/the-bizarre-history-of-mopy-fish-hps.html' title='The Bizarre History of MOPy Fish: HP’s Secret 90s Marketing Genius'/><author><name>KripKnotch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00030930770004879343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9R9A5zMQ6rePl9niOWWz99hM-U8v3R8K_ZI8BrnZchNk-_Zn8nuTxOXKNQzsUQgYaY8hBVpQqUu2CK0BXN9psotj5ZgTu2Bvt8IN_Ds7zdlnlh9wXl7S1EGDbbWx1gNJ8ONxStgHi2eKd3vb1vPlDDeyNRtg-xZFIpDTwaCP3mEEz3t6K6VjgXNEWPk8/s72-w501-h274-c/1000000064.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219176648621001265.post-5537090369703603063</id><published>2026-09-08T09:21:57.353-07:00</published><updated>2026-09-08T09:21:57.353-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cool"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="games"/><title type='text'>Unwrapping NBA Live 95: The Christmas Morning That Changed How I Played Video Games</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPg4DJXhQ1q9CcgGWrie1BViNOpTtN73r2OW0nz2xuo8sGUaDvGm-CMScEK2pCs7OamtIcBd7DTb2ISlxYPSg3BSEh001q34Ikr_a3OyTuhHhe0wFZaaVzlyOqY5Ow9_ahNv_5xp7Rgl8oMoovBguAf_L8yjCnWbs5GRVL0WwAILCCsHq0UUbUI_38uwk/s1099/NBA%20live%2095.PNG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;677&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1099&quot; height=&quot;287&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPg4DJXhQ1q9CcgGWrie1BViNOpTtN73r2OW0nz2xuo8sGUaDvGm-CMScEK2pCs7OamtIcBd7DTb2ISlxYPSg3BSEh001q34Ikr_a3OyTuhHhe0wFZaaVzlyOqY5Ow9_ahNv_5xp7Rgl8oMoovBguAf_L8yjCnWbs5GRVL0WwAILCCsHq0UUbUI_38uwk/w465-h287/NBA%20live%2095.PNG&quot; width=&quot;465&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;NBA Live 95 DOS version&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;1&quot;&gt;I can still smell the burning dust from the back of my old CRT TV. It was Christmas morning in the mid-90s, and while my parents were drinking coffee in their robes, I was sitting dead center on the living room rug, staring at a rectangular box wrapped in shiny red paper.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;2&quot;&gt;I tore through the paper like a maniac, and there it was: &lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;58&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;2&quot;&gt;NBA Live 95&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;4&quot;&gt;Up until that exact morning, basketball games to me were either two things: clunky side-scrollers like &lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;103&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;4&quot;&gt;Bulls vs. Blazers&lt;/i&gt; where players moved like they were trudging through wet concrete, or wild arcade games like &lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;213&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;4&quot;&gt;NBA Jam&lt;/i&gt; where guys caught on fire and did 720-degree dunks from the free-throw line. I loved &lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;306&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;4&quot;&gt;NBA Jam&lt;/i&gt;, don&#39;t get me wrong, but I wanted something that felt like a real, authentic NBA game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;5&quot;&gt;The second that famous 16-bit synth music booted up and the EA Sports voice screamed &lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;85&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&quot;It&#39;s in the game!&quot;&lt;/i&gt;, I knew I was in for something totally different.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 data-path-to-node=&quot;7&quot;&gt;The Camera Angle That Mind-Blew My 10-Year-Old Brain&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;8&quot;&gt;I shoved the cartridge in, picked my team, and hit the court. The very first thing that made my jaw drop was the camera.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;10&quot;&gt;Before &lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;7&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;10&quot;&gt;Live 95&lt;/i&gt;, basketball games forced you to look at the court flat from the sidelines. You couldn&#39;t really see open passing lanes or spot a guy cutting to the basket from the far corner. But &lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;194&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;10&quot;&gt;Live 95&lt;/i&gt; used this diagonal, 3/4 isometric perspective. It instantly felt like I was watching a real TV broadcast. Suddenly, I wasn&#39;t just mashing buttons—I could actually read the floor, run a fast break, and kick the ball out to an open shooter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 data-path-to-node=&quot;12&quot;&gt;Press &quot;Turbo&quot; and Settle the Score&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;13&quot;&gt;Then came the gameplay itself. This was the game that introduced the &lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;69&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;13&quot;&gt;Turbo button&lt;/b&gt; to a proper 5-on-5 simulation, and it completely ruined my thumb for the rest of Christmas break.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul data-path-to-node=&quot;14&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;14,0,0&quot;&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;14,0,0&quot;&gt;Fast Breaks felt like lightning:&lt;/b&gt; Grabbing a defensive board, hitting the turbo sprint, and pushing the ball up court felt so fluid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;14,1,0&quot;&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;14,1,0&quot;&gt;T-shirt and shorts jerseys:&lt;/b&gt; The players actually looked like basketball players instead of stiff pixelated blocks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;14,2,0&quot;&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;14,2,0&quot;&gt;The Announcer and Arena Vibe:&lt;/b&gt; Hearing the organ music, the squeaking sneakers, and the PA announcer shouting player names made my bedroom feel like a packed stadium.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;15&quot;&gt;We didn&#39;t have &lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;15&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;15&quot;&gt;NBA 2K&lt;/i&gt; back then. There was no MyCareer mode or online matchmaking. If you wanted to talk trash, you had to hand a second controller to your friend or sibling, sit on the floor together, and play until someone got sore hands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 data-path-to-node=&quot;17&quot;&gt;The Missing GOAT and the Magic of &quot;Create-A-Player&quot;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;18&quot;&gt;Of course, if you played back then, you know the one glaring thing missing from the roster: &lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;92&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;18&quot;&gt;Michael Jordan&lt;/b&gt;. Because of individual licensing deals, MJ wasn&#39;t in the game (he was replaced by a generic &quot;Player #99&quot; on the Bulls squad).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;19&quot;&gt;But EA gave us something incredible to fix it—&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;46&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;19&quot;&gt;Create-a-Player&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;20&quot;&gt;I spent hours on Christmas afternoon sitting there with the controller, manually setting stats, tweaking height, and creating my own knockoff Michael Jordan—and then, of course, creating myself as a 7-foot point guard with maxed-out 99 ratings across the board. Being able to customize a player and put him on a real NBA roster felt mind-blowing at the time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 data-path-to-node=&quot;22&quot;&gt;Why It Forever Changed Sports Games&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;23&quot;&gt;Looking back now, &lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;18&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;23&quot;&gt;NBA Live 95&lt;/i&gt; wasn&#39;t just a fun game I played over holiday break. It was the absolute blueprint for every modern sports simulation game we play today. It proved that a console basketball game could be fast, tactical, and realistic all at the same time without losing the fun factor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;24&quot;&gt;Every time I boot up a modern basketball game today, a small part of me still misses the simple joy of that Christmas morning: sitting three feet from a glowing glass TV screen, holding a warm controller, and hearing that pixelated crowd roar as I sprinted down the court on a fast break.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-path-to-node=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/feeds/5537090369703603063/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/2026/09/unwrapping-nba-live-95-christmas.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4219176648621001265/posts/default/5537090369703603063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4219176648621001265/posts/default/5537090369703603063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/2026/09/unwrapping-nba-live-95-christmas.html' title='Unwrapping NBA Live 95: The Christmas Morning That Changed How I Played Video Games'/><author><name>KripKnotch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00030930770004879343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPg4DJXhQ1q9CcgGWrie1BViNOpTtN73r2OW0nz2xuo8sGUaDvGm-CMScEK2pCs7OamtIcBd7DTb2ISlxYPSg3BSEh001q34Ikr_a3OyTuhHhe0wFZaaVzlyOqY5Ow9_ahNv_5xp7Rgl8oMoovBguAf_L8yjCnWbs5GRVL0WwAILCCsHq0UUbUI_38uwk/s72-w465-h287-c/NBA%20live%2095.PNG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219176648621001265.post-808128239979711879</id><published>2026-08-31T10:07:37.129-07:00</published><updated>2026-08-31T10:07:37.130-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="games"/><title type='text'>Circus Charlie NES: That One Game That Made Me Throw My Controller</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1pz6LoMS7NcGiCKn3fiJ7vK3X_mC4kF51nFd1Ju6ViLqQqn9HEEQFCE0ARhM2EYNt5D4AUut6506f0DlLnSbSjE4tOc16gAWH58mL1I2pw6V8zOgnpJReXjEX9_n85FAOMj-DXjzFC5BsPJUFE5UrrC1hf-Figs2McRMmvlC87izolInSqlFdIZ1qgwo&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; data-original-height=&quot;498&quot; data-original-width=&quot;636&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1pz6LoMS7NcGiCKn3fiJ7vK3X_mC4kF51nFd1Ju6ViLqQqn9HEEQFCE0ARhM2EYNt5D4AUut6506f0DlLnSbSjE4tOc16gAWH58mL1I2pw6V8zOgnpJReXjEX9_n85FAOMj-DXjzFC5BsPJUFE5UrrC1hf-Figs2McRMmvlC87izolInSqlFdIZ1qgwo&quot; width=&quot;307&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Okay so.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don&#39;t even know where to start with this game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Circus Charlie.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you grew up in the 90s and had a Nintendo – or you know, that bootleg Famicom that looked like a weird keyboard – you KNOW this game.

It&#39;s complicated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;So... What Even Is Circus Charlie?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alright so basically you&#39;re this little yellow-haired clown named Charlie. And you&#39;re in a circus. And you have to do... circus stuff. Jump through fire rings on a lion. Walk on a tightrope. Bounce on balls. Walk on stilts. Swing on a trapeze.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sounds simple right?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WRONG.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This game was BRUTAL. Like, unfairly hard. The kind of hard that made you question your existence as a 7-year-old.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;My First Game Ever: 4 Seconds of Glory&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I remember the first time I booted it up. I was so excited. The music started playing – you know the one. That catchy circus tune that gets stuck in your head for DAYS.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I pressed start. Level 1. Lion. Fire rings. Easy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I pressed A to jump.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Charlie did a flip.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And then he fell flat on his face.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;GAME OVER.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just stared at the screen. Mouth open. What just happened?! I was playing for like... 4 seconds. My older brother was watching and he just burst out laughing. *&quot;You suck,&quot;* he said. Thanks bro. Real supportive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Level 1: The Lion and Those Stupid Fire Rings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Okay so Level 1 is you riding a lion (weird, right?) and jumping through rings of fire. And there are these little fire pits on the ground too. If you touch them, you die.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The trick is timing. You gotta hold the jump button longer for higher rings. Short tap for low rings. Seems easy but when you&#39;re a hyperactive kid with zero patience, it&#39;s a disaster.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#39;d always either jump too early or too late. And Charlie would just flop down like a ragdoll. That defeat animation was so dramatic. Legs spread out. Face down. Just... dead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But here&#39;s the thing – I discovered something years later. There were SECRET TREASURES in that level. Like, if you jumped at the right time, a treasure chest would appear in the fire ring. I had NO IDEA as a kid. I just thought it was random. Turns out there&#39;s some weird algorithm based on the timer. Wild.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;!--more--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Level 2: Those Freaking Monkeys&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then comes Level 2. This is where you&#39;re walking on a tightrope and these monkeys come at you. Brown ones are slow. Blue ones are FAST. And aggressive. Like they personally hate you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I swear those blue monkeys were out to get me. Every time I&#39;d get a good rhythm going, a blue monkey would pop out of nowhere and knock me off the rope.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;NOOOO!&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My mom would yell from the other room: *&quot;What happened?!&quot;*&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;Nothing mom! It&#39;s just... the monkey... nevermind.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She never understood.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;!--more--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Level 3: The Balls of Doom&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh man.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;LEVEL 3.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is where friendships ended. Controllers were thrown. Tears were shed (okay maybe not tears but definitely frustration).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You&#39;re standing on a big ball balancing on a see-saw. And you have to jump to the next ball. And the next. And they&#39;re all bouncing up and down with different timings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The hitboxes in this game? BROKEN. I swear Charlie&#39;s foot would be inches away from the ball and he&#39;d still fall. The game just decided *&quot;Nope, you missed. Start over.&quot;*&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I must have died on Level 3 like... a thousand times. Maybe more. My thumb would hurt from mashing the A button. I&#39;d get so close to the end and then... BAM. Dead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The controller toss became a regular thing. I&#39;d throw that brick of a controller on the floor. It would bounce, rattle, but never break. Those old NES controllers were indestructible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;!--more--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Level 4 and 5: My Redemption Arc&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But then came Level 4. The stilts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This one I was actually good at. You walk on stilts and there are these torch guys you have to jump over. Simple rhythm. Tap tap tap. Jump. Tap tap tap. Jump.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I felt like a god.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And Level 5? The trapeze? Jumping through multiple fire rings in a row? That was my moment. I&#39;d swing, time my jump perfectly, and fly through those rings like I was in an actual circus.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whenever I cleared Level 5, I&#39;d run to my mom. *&quot;MOM! I DID IT!&quot;*&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;That&#39;s nice honey.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She didn&#39;t care. But I cared. It was a big deal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;!--more--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Infinite Loop – My Mind Was Blown&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So here&#39;s the thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I never beat Circus Charlie as a kid. I thought there was an ending. A final boss. Some giant ringmaster or something.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NOPE.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Years later, I looked it up online. The game just... loops. Forever. The levels get faster and harder but there&#39;s no ending. Just infinite circus suffering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was so mad when I found out. All those hours. All those rage quits. For nothing?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But honestly? I wasn&#39;t even mad. It was part of the fun. The journey, you know?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;!--more--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why I Still Love This Dumb Game&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look, Circus Charlie isn&#39;t the best game ever made. It&#39;s simple. It&#39;s repetitive. It&#39;s frustrating.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But it&#39;s NOSTALGIC.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It takes me back to Saturday mornings. Cold cereal. Sitting on the floor because the couch was for adults. My brother and I arguing over who gets the controller. The smell of whatever my mom was cooking in the kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I played it again recently on an emulator. My thumbs still remembered the patterns. My brain still knew the timing. I still died on Level 3.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some things never change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;So... Did You Play This Too?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you grew up in the 90s and you had a Nintendo, I know you played Circus Charlie. Everyone did. It was unavoidable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What level was YOUR worst? Were you a Level 3 hater like me? Or did you struggle with the monkeys?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also – did anyone else have that one friend who claimed they could beat the whole game and then died immediately? Yeah. We all had that friend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyway. Thanks for reading my rambling. I just really wanted to talk about this game today. It&#39;s been on my mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Circus Charlie. The clown that broke me. But also made me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Go play it again. You&#39;ll suck at it. Trust me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/feeds/808128239979711879/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/2026/08/circus-charlie-nes-that-one-game-that.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4219176648621001265/posts/default/808128239979711879'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4219176648621001265/posts/default/808128239979711879'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/2026/08/circus-charlie-nes-that-one-game-that.html' title='Circus Charlie NES: That One Game That Made Me Throw My Controller'/><author><name>KripKnotch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00030930770004879343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1pz6LoMS7NcGiCKn3fiJ7vK3X_mC4kF51nFd1Ju6ViLqQqn9HEEQFCE0ARhM2EYNt5D4AUut6506f0DlLnSbSjE4tOc16gAWH58mL1I2pw6V8zOgnpJReXjEX9_n85FAOMj-DXjzFC5BsPJUFE5UrrC1hf-Figs2McRMmvlC87izolInSqlFdIZ1qgwo=s72-c" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219176648621001265.post-7435451873452664297</id><published>2026-08-28T12:14:10.588-07:00</published><updated>2026-08-31T09:40:57.753-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cool"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="personal"/><title type='text'>Old Laptop with i5 gen 3 still rocks</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwqXvjnd-cBBvhetNgZ8gAs2XlknFDp2QiVc7dH7-lESZAYm4fkQ911ZmAMCZoSIFUkKZytaLmGHzXADN6t6vXXSfW-XyzAIL15Ufx_Dh9i99EcSpsNSO3Snx2xTUpXjHyObHqtJirxyWCx3NGM1YtVjKdanR9CIWJut-J_inVEpVfRLzMOXZHL4lAZVs/s1280/fujitsu-lifebook-a572.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1280&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1151&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwqXvjnd-cBBvhetNgZ8gAs2XlknFDp2QiVc7dH7-lESZAYm4fkQ911ZmAMCZoSIFUkKZytaLmGHzXADN6t6vXXSfW-XyzAIL15Ufx_Dh9i99EcSpsNSO3Snx2xTUpXjHyObHqtJirxyWCx3NGM1YtVjKdanR9CIWJut-J_inVEpVfRLzMOXZHL4lAZVs/s320/fujitsu-lifebook-a572.jpg&quot; width=&quot;288&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recently, while making time to study virtual assistant courses online, I realized I needed a basic laptop for my studies. So, I dug through my closet, cabinets, and other storage spots, and came across my old Fujitsu Lifebook A572/E. I dusted it off and decided to give it a try.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This model was manufactured around the first half of 2012, and surprisingly, it’s still more than capable for basic office use. Encouraged by its performance, I went ahead and installed a few classic games too—Call of Duty 2, NBA Live 2005, Battle Realms, Red Alert 2, and a few others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m quite pleased with how well this laptop is holding up even after all these years.

Back in the days when you think about phone, you think about nokia.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
When you think about electronic tunes, you think about nokia tune&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

*ten ne ne nen, ten ne ne nen, ten ne ne nen...*
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And when you think about portable game, you think about snake, bantumi, and space impact.&lt;br /&gt;

Back then, every nokia phone are&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
so durable that it never crossed their mind about the word durability.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The nostalgia is back when it was announced that Nokia brand will be continued and that the 3310 variant was rebooted. There were news about its release date here in the Philippines as said in these websites:&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;So I looked at an online store and found out that there are look-a-like if not original. Well, I&#39;m not sure if it&#39;s original or not basing on the brand name and the proposed price of about 2,500 pesos vs. a thousand pesos for these brands.Ma&lt;br /&gt;

It runs almost any  ps1 games, either thru the cd rom of your PC or save it on your your  hard disk (should be ISO extension, or convert your ps1 cd&#39;s to ISO).  Although it runs almost any ps1 games, there&#39;s still some lock-ups and  bugs which you can just search the web for a fix.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I uploaded the emulator thru mediafire (1.9.25 is the latest version), just extract it using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.win-rar.com/&quot;&gt;winrar&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.7-zip.org/&quot;&gt;7-zip&lt;/a&gt; then run ePSXe file, insert your ps1 cd, click file, then select run CD ROM. This is the most complete and updated version of ePSXe without having to download its BIOS. Everything under one file to suit your gaming needs.&lt;br /&gt;

Since its flash based, there&#39;s no need to download the game, just interact with the character and solve the puzzles on each stage. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Gameplay:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The player interacts with the world with simple point and click  interface directing a small, white-clad humanoid with a little cap and  brown boots (called simply &quot;gnome&quot; by Dvorsky). The goal of the &lt;i&gt;Samorost&lt;/i&gt; games is to solve a series of puzzles and brain teasers. The puzzles are sequentially linked forming an adventure story. The game contains no inventory or dialogue,  and the solving of puzzles mainly consists of clicking onscreen  elements in the correct order. Solving a puzzle will immediately  transport the player character to the next screen.&lt;br /&gt;

Every month or two I have to visit different hospitals for checkup. The usual routine was to take CBC and urine test. Urine test OK, CBC white blood cell count, not good. In the end, I always take antibiotic for about week which doesn&#39;t work (btw, I always take megadose of sodium ascorbate (Vit.C)). Because this is ongoing for about five years, and even taking around 5-7g of vit.C sometimes doesn&#39;t work, we decided to consult a specialist. I was advised to have a CT scan because of a 3cm cyst in my sinus. We went to STI De Los Santos Medical Center here in Quezon City for a paranasal sinus scan (plain scan is 5,000 pesos).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I finished this novel for 3 days. This is the first novel that I’ve read from a female author since I’m more into thriller type. What caught my attention was the “Book Oprah’s Club” seal printed on the cover. The story is about an orphaned family led by Harley Altmyer, aged 19. Her mom was in jail for killing their dad and all the responsibility of being a parent was taken by Harley who has two jobs to make ends meet. The author did a great job of capturing his conflicts and stresses as he struggles to keep it together. The family secrets are intense and some scenes will make you uncomfortable because they violate a few taboos. The characterizations are vivid, narrative is too gripping and too real and each family member generates sympathy.The story itself is like a car wreck, devastation is all over it but you can’t help but look and ask why? I stayed up all weekend to finish it. I hope that the ending was different since he sacrificed so much and Harley is such a good person. He deserves to be saved or rewarded for all the things he&#39;d done.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/feeds/898668801957281969/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/2011/02/tawni-odell-back-roads.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4219176648621001265/posts/default/898668801957281969'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4219176648621001265/posts/default/898668801957281969'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/2011/02/tawni-odell-back-roads.html' title='Tawni O&#39;Dell - Back Roads'/><author><name>KripKnotch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00030930770004879343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-XwmXNCBsnkXBejSB5tYMMc4EUbDebLP8a98WAWSQkRIKUpyc6s_2MikAqpatCdksGuNinp9Z-ytzsUdnXdbPnQ2qhXiI9mwJMrN3D0daTI0VR9HwspuKXlk9K1ceSR15TDHhRIUOYYI/s72-c/back+roads.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219176648621001265.post-8148334211031831888</id><published>2011-02-27T23:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2017-06-06T17:28:31.378-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="entertainment"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="stress buster"/><title type='text'>Stress Buster - Drunk Man Game</title><content type='html'>This game is very simple and addictive.

Of course, many will say that Marcos is tyrant, unfair, unjust, and whatever bad things you call him. But when I had a conversation with my parents about him, all they said was good about him and nothing bad. What if Marcos continued to be the President? Surely, it will be a Marcos dynasty. Not even a single Filipino will be a millionaire or billionaire because hell be hogging their money. Surely, he is one of the most corrupt official. But who cares? At least we benefit from it There are those NPA’s, terrorist attacks, and it only shows how weak our armed forces and policemen’s are. Due to Marcos’ iron rule, he was able to impose order and reduce crime (remember the curfew hours?). Because of our international diplomacy, we are being aided by the US government and many infrastructures were built during his regime. After People Power, is it anything better? Did our economy improved? No. It even became worse, corruption is still evident. Maybe we can’t erase corruption, that’s given. But Marcos would have offered something better if we let him lead us (Philippines would have been a powerful and rich country just like the others). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I quote from wikipedia “The relative economic success that the Philippines enjoyed during the initial part of his presidency is hard to dispel. Many of Marcos&#39;s accomplishments were overlooked after the so-called &quot;People Power Revolution&quot;, but the Marcos era definitely had accomplishments in its own right.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;People power is the main reason why this country is poor and history repeated itself with People Power II and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo being the president.&lt;br /&gt;

We rested for the whole day and had the chance to invite other relatives for some chit chat. The next day, we decided to visit one of our small purchased land nearby to take a look.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

We&#39;ll be staying at one of our relatives in Socorro, Oriental Mindoro. We arrived at Batangas city port around 5:30 am and bought our ticket scheduled for 6:00. We&#39;ve chosen supercat as it only takes around 45 minutes of travel time if I&#39;m not mistaken.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;But around 5:45, the trip was cancelled due to some technical problems and will resume at 8:30. We refunded the ticket and went to RORO (roll-on/roll-off&lt;b&gt;) &lt;/b&gt;port for the 6:30 trip (it takes approx. 2-3 hrs). Vessels here are bigger since its designed to carry wheeled cargo like trucks, automobiles, buses, etc.&lt;br /&gt;

This book is about a serial killer that targets females from an erotic online dating service called EROS. Its mostly about sex and murder. The killer uses many usernames, he toys with women, kills them, and can always find a way of escaping thru his vast knowledge of computers. Since the protagonist is the system operator of EROS, he became one of the prime suspect along with his colleague. This is where the cat-and-mouse game hunt begins. You can search it online for a better synopsis since I’m not good with it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The book itself is a fairly long read. But, it never really bogs down. Greg Iles has put a great deal of detail into this novel. It also has plenty of action and it deals with family problems that ties in the end. The computer aspect of the story is also interesting since the killer is anonymous thru the Internet. The tension is great and I love the conversations as it really builds up the story. In the end, this is a book that I’ll recommend to everyone who wants an excellent suspense and psychological thriller. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/feeds/254544887768748721/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/2011/02/greg-iles-mortal-fear.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4219176648621001265/posts/default/254544887768748721'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4219176648621001265/posts/default/254544887768748721'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://piratedcd.blogspot.com/2011/02/greg-iles-mortal-fear.html' title='Greg Iles - Mortal Fear'/><author><name>KripKnotch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00030930770004879343</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidLNtRVplnSTDS-IK6aaCyZDTzCqyG11hc5zVFsI0T-NOKBcKv1LP96szDlj97Gg7gaT0zHl41LPEjcyo0ZxVu-aAN1GzswAooOqEu7ufLO3R3_DSrsEvcRYNCFe10mPPsE1bibU3BMdI/s72-c/mortal+fear.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219176648621001265.post-5486707865487551353</id><published>2011-02-07T08:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-07T08:20:54.831-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="entertainment"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="funny"/><title type='text'>Restroom for the BIG BOYS</title><content type='html'>How would you react if the girls were real?&lt;br /&gt;

(Well, that applies to online gamers)&amp;nbsp; With lots of titles to choose from you wont be contented with just playing one. My mindset was to always have my character level-up so high that I can boast it to my friends. But lets backtrack. One of the reasons why RPG games are so popular nowadays is because of Diablo by Blizzard. I remember that I borrowed and installed an original copy from my neighbor (wala pang pirated cd noon) and became addicted to it. The objective of the game is to find evil creatures and to kill them repeatedly. The game itself has some nice graphics considering its old, and you get the basic elements of an RPG genre. There are 3 characters to choose from. A warrior for melee type, a rouge for ranged attacks, and a magic type sorcerer. For the system requirements, as long as your computer was build around 1996 and above standard, then you wont have problems Anyways, its really nice that we look back to the past and appreciate the old times which shaped the future to what it is now. And all I can say is, &quot;Lets kick some demons butt&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are the screenshots of the game:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;One of my cousin came over my place yesterday to cook his favorite snack (he lives in a dormitory). And as usual for the last 4 months, he’s been eating peanuts (as the title says). I asked him, why do you like peanuts? He said, “I just like them, I do, but at least I’m eating something good instead of just chips”. Well, for me, peanuts gives you pimples, so I avoided eating to much of it. I would rather become fat eating chips than having pimples all over my face. But you can overlook those things because of its benefits, and not to mention its cholesterol-free (ow, really??). Peanuts are one of the &quot;food for the brain&quot;, so nutritious that it affects your blood pressure (so old ones be aware, remember the tv ad, bawal ang pork, ang beans....). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;By the way, he cooked 2 kgs and added honey to it (no garlic and salt added). After that he packed it on empty plastic containers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Would you like to have an octopus as a pet? Most of us will say no as it’s not common for a pet owner to have one (correct me if I’m wrong). But what if you have one and you’re a football fan (anong konek??). Meet Paul the Octopus, a common octopus in Germany where it had predicted correctly Germany’s 7 matches and the finals. &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;But since its death last 3 months ago, a 2-meter (6-foot) tall plastic replica of Paul clutching a ball in his eight arms was unveiled in Sea Life aquarium in Oberhausen yesterday.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Most blogs starts with their first post with &quot;Hello World&quot; as the subject (I assume thats the default title or lets say they cant think of anything else to put in), but its actually one of the most common word in the programming language. (Read below)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From wikipedia: &lt;br /&gt;
A &lt;b&gt;&quot;Hello World&quot; program&lt;/b&gt; is a computer program which prints out &quot;Hello World&quot; on a display device. It is used in many introductory tutorials for teaching a programming language. Such a program is typically one of the simplest programs possible in most computer languages. It is often considered to be tradition  among programmers for people attempting to learn a new programming  language to write a &quot;Hello World!&quot; program as one of the first steps of  learning that particular language.&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_world&quot;&gt; Read More..&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
