So I was on IRC, and out popped from Sammy: "SwampGas someone give me mario kart advance [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]"

So I said "DamianMor Sammy, want an ftp?"

And he said "SwampGas stop calling me that"
Which of course was beside the point.

The I messaged him (private) and spewed the following:

DamianMor Ok, just give me 12-15 minutes and I'll give you an ftp with all GBA games.
DamianMor But I like Sammy [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
DamianMor What FTP software do you have?
SwampGas bulletproof ftp
DamianMor Ok, that should work.
DamianMor ftp://24.219.123.126
DamianMor Port 21
DamianMor pcb/pcb
DamianMor Let me know how you do, should be up 99%
SwampGas what the heck is a .ace?
DamianMor Is is a compression format
DamianMor WHat GBA section are you in?
DamianMor It
SwampGas usagba
DamianMor Try Europe
SwampGas i wanted mario kart
SwampGas i don't want the euro version
DamianMor Some of his files are still in .ace format
DamianMor They are identical
DamianMor Ok, if you want USA get WinACE
DamianMor http://www.winace.com

Now readers, which part(s) were funny?

I did not say WinRAR as that could not handle the ACEs from that site.

Continued:

DamianMor Got anywhere yet?
SwampGas i wrote the flash card, but the rom ain't working
DamianMor Ok, the ROM was in pure basic form and does not work when copied?
SwampGas visoly piece of crap
SwampGas so far i spent $90 on this damn thing
SwampGas it'd be cheaper to just buy the damn game
DamianMor All check out in ROMCenter apart from the Tweety Bird one
DamianMor That is true, how many games have you tried?
SwampGas just mario kart
SwampGas damn you emulation people
SwampGas you convince me to start playing video games, make me spend money, and then it don't work
SwampGas U R SCANDAL
DamianMor Try Mario Advance.
SwampGas damnit

DamianMor Not working either?
SwampGas nope
SwampGas none of the games work
SwampGas the gba starts booting, but has a rectangle full of garble underneath the gameboy logo
DamianMor Maybe your kit is not working or the whole idea is a farce?
SwampGas then after the intro noise, it just freezes

The fact that you told him to use winace? I have winrar already on the site which also opens .ace files.
