Download Microsoft Paint / Recover Missing Copy
This guide is for people who removed or accidentally un-installed their Microsoft Paint on their Windows, but now want them back. I lost my MS Paint too two days ago, poking at the wrong place of my Add/Remove Windows Component and there goes my mspaint. It can only be re-installed with a Windows XP CD in my case, but I don’t have any with me. If your Paint is gone from your computer too, do this to make sure the software really does not exist in your system, and not just the shortcut being deleted. Go to Start > Run > Type “mspaint” > OK.

Images that are used by the computer can be roughly divided into two groups. The first type of images is the so-called bitmap graphic or raster graphic image; the second type is the vector graphic. The fundamental building blocks of vector graphics are vectors, hence the name. A vector is a mathematical description of a line or a curved line. Adobe Illustrator uses so-called 'Bezier curves' to describe an image. A vector graphic can be resized without any loss of quality, unlike a bitmap graphic.
The Cave of Dragonflies
I care about the truth, and I strive to keep the information on this website accurate and up-to-date. For instance, where possible, I have taken pains to personally test claims about the video games before making them. However, doing so is not always feasible, occasionally I manage to be wrong even when I think I've confirmed something, and with a website of this size, it's difficult to keep track of every single piece of information anywhere on it that might need to be changed or updated. Thus, if you spot any errors, mistakes or out-of-date tidbits - or even just typos - I'd be thrilled if you would report them via this form.

A Japanese MOTHER 4 April Fool's Joke « EarthBound Central
May 8th, 2014 | Images, MOTHER 4, Rumors I thought I’d share this little April Fool’s joke that a Japanese MOTHER fan made: Nintendo Officially Announces MOTHER 4It’s about time!They said they were gonna stop at 3, but they’re gonna make a sequel anyway?I assume the story takes place much earlier than 3, since the world’s been destroyed and all by then. It looks like the Kraken’s in it again…I wonder if it’ll be set in the same world as 2.It’s supposed to come out January next year.
Proto:Monster Party - The Cutting Room Floor
This page details one or more prototype versions of Monster Party. After repeatedly falling into the hands of collectors that were unwilling to release it to the public, a Japanese prototype of Monster Party (titled "Parody World: Monster Party") was finally released on July 3, 2014 for everyone to enjoy. As the original title implies, the prototype features many parodies of movies like Gremlins and Planet of the Apes that were unfortunately removed for copyright reasons, as well as a number of other differences. General Differences The timing code for the status bar split was changed to be less glitchy in the US version.It is possible to get stuck in place in the prototype, requiring a reset. Thankfully, this seems to be pretty rare.Item drops were shuffled around in the US version; for example, the first enemy drops a pill in the prototype, and nothing in the US version.
