How are you able to make your PAL game work? Do you also have a PAL SNES? An NTSC console modified to play PAL games? Some kind of Game Genie-like adapter for your NTSC console?

Does your TV display the game properly (e.g., in color) and does your game run at the correct speed? (which will be slightly slower than an NTSC game, a difference of about 2.54%) Do you ever have graphical glitches (like Stacy originally had when he first tried NTSC)

Making a PAL game work in the US might not be so simple. Undecided

No, but I got an NTSC/PAL SNES cartridge converter and no, its not Game Genie.
I hope so. Its an HDTV and I hope I would get an advantage.

Just one week before caivs discovered the splices, I had a dream where I took flight over a field. A creature ascended toward me from the nearby forest. As the creature approached, I looked at it and said:

"Ah, the antelope of death. It's because I cheated in Super Mario 64. This will need to be addressed soon."

1. For the infinity-ith time... don't worry about planes, they are about as safe as a picnic in the park.

2. No about the PP.

3. I don't think youl need to carry all your MK games, they'll easily get stuff here, saves on the luggage. Just come prepared, there'll be some awesome 1 on 1 challengers just for you.

I can understand why some people might be uncomfortable flying (it's just not natural to have six miles between you and the ground) but when you look at statistics, you'll realize that the fear is hardly justified as opposed to, say, driving. When a plane crashes and kills a few hundred people, it makes international headlines, even if many more died on the same day in car crashes across the world. If your newspaper reported every person who died in a car crash every day around the world, I bet you'd be afraid of driving, too.

I think of it this way: Madonna's still alive, Elton John's still alive, Bill Clinton's still alive... think of how many times they must have flown. You might be able to name some famous people who died in plane crashes, but can you name all the ones who haven't (and have flown just as much, if not more)?

You're probably less likely to die crossing the Atlantic in a plane than you are to die in your car on the way to the airport.

QED what Sami said.

Like the line in a few of the Superman movies "statistically speaking it is still the safest way to travel".

Planes don't mostly crash man, they have improved so much since the 70s. More flights in the sky than ever and way less accidents. Trust me with the long haul flight, plenty of entertainment on the board, movies and whatnot to keep you occupied. You'll forget you were on a plane. Just kick back and enjoy. All will be fine.
