8-bit

The best console era ever,
the NES dominated all and many great games were created like:

- Super Mario Bros. 1
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Mega Man 2
- Mega Man 3
- Castlevania 1-3
- Final Fantasy I - III
- Zelda I + II

etc.

At one time, nintendo had to take all NES back because of problems with overheating!
Everyone had an NES in the 80s.

The most popular problem was that the cartridges got dusty and you had to BLOW inside the NES and cartridge to make it work again.

NES roced.

Bari :"The NES changed my life,now I love videogames more than anything"

Renke:"Dude, let me blow into the cartridge, I want to play World Cup Soccer!""

A Bit Cagey

When not a decidedly British quip describing feeling hesitant of committing oneself or trapped, deceived, crafty or shrewd...it refers to the East Coast based band composed of two members - Sajida Jalazai and Melissa Shampine.

Drawing from trip hop, dub-step, and experimental noise rock their sound pushes and pulls; their reflective and apocalyptic lyrics reveal an effort to connect music and social commentary. Artistic influences include Portishead, Modeselektor, and Thom Yorke.

Oh well I'm feeling a bit cagey about trying not to fall madly in love with A Bit Cagey!

higher-order bit

The salient point of a document, conversation, etc., that accurately summarizes it. Originated in Computer Science circles, from binary numbers, where the highest-order bit is worth more, numerically, than the rest of the bits put together.

Sue: I can't believe what an awful time I had with Rob! First we had to wait, like, FIVE minutes for a table, even though we had a reservation! Then we were sitting next to these people who were like so strange looking. Then I told him all my problems and he just got bored.
Jim: I think the higher-order bit here is that you're a bitch.
