it's so hard to search on youtube now, after just a bit of scrolling the results seem to devolve into complete nonsense >_<

couldn't find footage of either, but the v3 cheat is well documented on gamefaqs at least.
the soul blade one, i could only find mention of in this guide gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/198704-so...
seems it requires a multi-tap

i loved that in micro machines v3 on the ps1 you could input a cheat to have third person view (instead of top down), which the game very much wasn't meant for but it was really interesting to see the stages from that view.
i also think soul blade had a first person cheat??

the most wildly pirated thing i can think of is the amiga copmuter, where piracy was the normal way to get games/software for pretty much every user. everyone had a box with hundreds of pirated floppies, and if you found another user you lent their floppies to copy. i had like 5 or so genuine games

i'm on linux and use libreoffice writer. i don't know enough about word processing to know if it's good or not though, but it is like the default for linux i feel.

yeah, i got one of those nokia phones on tradera, to replace my old dumphone for this impending 3G-doom. haven't tried it yet tho

new zeeland story is so cute

i was about to say, this is just that rarity episode of MLP where they all drive her nuts lol
