Applying thermal paste is easy but i think follow 2 schools of thought-either apply a glob of paste to the centre of the cpu and use something like a credit card to smooth it evenly along the surface, or my favourite, splurge a lot of paste around the centre the chip and rely on the cpu cooler to squeeze it all round the chip when you install the cooler.

Also, do not spread it! This is someething many people do, but it can create small air pockets within the grease and you will not obtain a good contact. It shouldn't make a huge difference, but this is not what you should be doing unless you are tinting. Always let the cooler spread the thermal grease. A small (size of a pea perhaps) dab in the middle is the easiest (and sometimes best) way to apply the paste. The CPU actually has a concave surface if you look at it. The cooler actually makes most of the contact in a relatively small area around the centre.

I thought a gamecube controller would be fine too. But I got my first SNES game, Super Mario World, and found it frustratingly hard to run and jump without doing doing some funky thing with my pinky finger.

I don't get all the SMG lovers :| I played the game and hated it. But I liked Super Mario Sunshine. Weird...scar-hawk

That's funny, I didn't really like Sunshine that much but I loved Galaxy.

For Gladiator:

I thought of maybe having environmental ques where you quick dodge one way on an opening and retreat back to a slightly different setting. Maybe behind a rock and you have to fight around this rock. Or maybe some other things that could provide advantages and disadvantages. Could be a good idea to mix the gameplay up a bit. Maybe some of these ques could be like see another weapon and quick dodge toward the weapon and throw away your old one to do some damage to the other guy.

I think the weapon thing would defeat the perpous of getting upgrades.

Oh, I didn't know about the weapon upgrades, maybe the weapons are weaker 'standard' weapons and you have to choose to make a sacrifice of weapon stats for that extra hit. Your opponenet would need a chance to avoid this of course. Also, it would be very cool if you could bust your opponents weapon. Some flashy sparks and slow motion and boom! his weapon is being spilt in half before your very eyes. Maybe you can have a secondary weapon for this very reason? Like a small sword or a dagger?

I got the box set with 0, 1, and 4. I really liked 4 but didn't really like 1. I really disliked that you could only make a limited number of saves and for a game like this, I would prefer to do a lot of saving. Explore a bit, save, go somewhere else and explore, save, etc.
