lol... Berny I am quite sure that since it's being developed here in Canada, and it won't be finished until March according to Denis... that it's more likely that Australia just doesn't have the time to update their release date list.

General Gaming / RE: New Cube.. questions about disc encoding
« on: December 21, 2003, 09:10:58 AM »
GameCube has a divx codec that was coded in assembly by Factor 5, meaning that it is very fast, and very good.  GameCube has 6:1 texture compression in hardware, meaning that more textures can be shown on screen at a given time, AND they take far less space on disc.

And 1.5GB isn't a small amount of space.  There have been VERY few games on GameCube that needed 2 discs.  The reason being that it is very hard to get a game to use more space.

Isn't it against the forum rules to be discussing mothers?

That and this HAS to be the lamest topic I have seen in a LONG time.

I am using Winamp 5 at work, and I play .psf files there.  I am just using the same plugin as I did in Winamp 2...

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Cartridge cases
« on: December 20, 2003, 09:06:40 PM »
Come on now.  I have friends who only have about half of the cartridge left that was sold to them, and it still works.  I know that I have dumped all manner of stuff on my carts, and they still work perfectly fine.  I can't count the number of times that I have uploaded a seriously large amount of static electricity to my carts.  It's never even erased the save file.  As for the game itself?  That's located on a ROM, and is even MORE difficult to erase, no matter how big the ESD.  As for dust?  That's nothing a quick blow into the cart won't fix.

Seriously.  You underestimate the durability.

yeah... in Canada a Big Mac combo (Big Mac, reg fries, reg drink) is about $5.50.  That's about $4 USD.    I found that when I tried to eat at McDonalds in the US, the exchange rate KILLED me.

Some parents are bloody stupid.  That's my conclusion.  I would have killed myself long ago if my parents were like DaTwig's.  (And I am perfectly serious).

Well, then what's stopping you from playing Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime?

Reader Reviews / RE: SSX 3
« on: December 20, 2003, 07:50:24 PM »
LMSx, It's not that I don't recognize the flaws in the game.  The narrowness of the courses for example, do sometimes grate on my nerves.  The thing is that it's SO close to being perfect, that I felt I could give it the extra points for effort.

The thing that really does it for me in the game though is that although the courses may not be as grand as the courses in SSX Tricky, they are more believable for the most part, and the courses actually fit together quite nicely.  When you start out at the top, the sun is shining brightly, and when you hit the bottom, it's night.  The areas in between fit the rest of the spectrum.  What SSX Tricky did was show bits and pieces from around the world, and make them extreme enough to fit a snowboarding course in there, no matter how unrealistic the settings.  (Tokyo Megaplax, Aloha Ice Jam are my chief complaints).

In SSX 3, they decided to build a whole mountain with a more realistic feel about it, while still keeping the over the top physics models.  This is what I meant when I said that the game had "grown up".  It's just as extreme, but has gained dignity since its last incarnation.  They provide life to their world through the history lessons given through the radio.  "Twists, turns around buildings, and some jumps over arbitrary lumps of snow" are what a snowboarding game is all about.  Gussy it up however you like, but the mountain just "felt" real.

you know... the cartridge itself can be thought of as a case?  Frankly, I really don't see the need for having a case to put your case in, as that thought seriously disturbs and boggles me.

I would suggest just buying a bottle of Royal Crown or something, and using that felt thingy it comes in as a case if you are really all that concerned.

I have only played Skies of Arcadia from the bunch, but I assure you that it's well worth every penny if you can actually find a copy of it.

The sound and the picture are completely seperate animals.  Somehow I doubt that it's a problem with your cable or GameCube, as you say it works fine on other TVs.  I would be checking over my TV if I were you.  Or you could just plug your GameCube intot he stereo or something.

Yes, here in America, if you are broke, that's probably because all you do is eat at McDonalds. McDonalds is so friggin expensive. And if all you do is eat at McDonalds, then you probably are gaining pounds in the stomach part of your body. McDonalds has one of the fattiest foods.

So if I were you, I'd use my money wisely.


Well, actually I live in Canada.  In my experience, McDonalds is a great deal cheaper in Canada.

Heh.  I started watching Red vs Blue with episode 15, when it first came out.  I couldn't figure out what on earth was going on, but I DID know that it was funny.  After watching it, I checked out the other 14 episodes...  Despite the constant Microsoft advertising... it really is funny, and it is worth a watch.  Kind of like Penny Arcade.

I got my copy the first day it was available.  There is no way to preorder anything in this crappy town.  Believe me, I tried.

Well, we speak English.  Our continent is frickin huge, so everyone needs a car.  If you are broke, you eat a lot at McDonalds.  If you have money, you are welcomed anywhere.  If you don't look like you have money, you are left alone.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Zelda Bonus Disc....?
« on: December 19, 2003, 01:43:19 PM »
I already screamed that many times back in the NES days.  I thought that the game was complete unadultered **** back then, and my opinion hasn't changed much.  The original Zelda kicks butt though.

And you did.  The cel-shading in Wind Waker was 100% generated by the GCN using many clever tricks to get such beautiful graphics on GameCube.
