Before SMRPG I had experience with Final Fantasy for NES and one of my all time favorite games, Final Fantasy IV. SMRPG blew me away at how unique the battle system was and how it pushed the genre forward.

« on: February 05, 2010, 09:13:06 PM »The fact that this game has Vampires makes it far better then L4D
Are you kidding? Vampires were done to death by the early 90s, and now they're just boring. And these things are a classical vampire type anyway, which is pretty much just zombies.
Vampires can never be done to death. Besides a classic vampire is Dracula and he wasn't just a zombie. I don't even care if these the zombiefied vampires, they are still vampires, woohoo.

« on: February 02, 2010, 05:28:10 PM »I forgot how much I loved Booster. He fits the tone so perfectly: a goofy villain that's hard to take seriously, but he still makes life troublesome. Plus, his tower was fantastic. Not only did it have so many fun toys to mess around with (8-bit Mario FTW!), but the design change to vertical rather than horizontal levels was a nice way of mixing things up. The isometric perspective worked against me when trying to land on that stupid seesaw, though. :-/ Again, mixing platforming with this view was a mistake.
It was a nuisance at best, I managed without much trouble to navigate the isometric perspective.

This is easily one of my favorite games of all time, I remember when it first came out how the interactive battle system grabbed me (and still does). It is a perfect blend of RPG and action based combat. The game is funny and has some great enemy art designs as well.
What I enjoyed most was a good integration of secrets, including the special armor. Not only that but this game is what help propel Bowser to more then just the villain at the end of the series, it imbued him with a personality which has impacted every Mario game since then. It provided a unique twist in that the villain had to fight with the heroes to gain back what was his.
In addition to that I love all the cameos, such as Samus and even 8 bit Mario. Really I don't see how you can NOT like this game, it has so much charm and personality along with it providing a unique blend of RPG and action elements.

Ah, what is art, semantics and lots of "my opinion is better then yours of what it is". My answer, I could care less. Some creations inspire me some don't, the end.

« on: January 29, 2010, 05:46:55 PM »A pity I just replayed this game last Fall, as I'd totally be along for this one. SMRPG is one of my favorite games from the SNES era. Pity Square-Enix owns Geno, as I'd love to see him reappear in a modern Mario RPG as more than just a minigame cameo.
It is most likely a dream but I'd love to see Nintendo and Square do a true sequel to it.

Yeah if I see a waitress or waiter who is flooded with customers and they seem to be doing their best I tip them well. It is the ones where they aren't overloaded and have time to BS with people in the back while either your drink needs a refill or your food is getting cold that get no tip from me.

« on: January 28, 2010, 01:35:05 PM »I forget where I saw this, but there was someone that would put the tip on the table as soon as they sat down. As time went on, if the waiter was doing good the money would still be there, if they started slacking or messing up, money would start to disappear.
I always found that funny but psychologically fucked up.
Start with $5 on the table, ask for some water with a lemon on the rim, not in the glass and a straw also in the glass, paper still on the tip. Start timing the person on how long it takes them to return with your water in the specific way you ordered it. Deduct necessary amount of tip from table is everything isn't as you asked.
I would expect spit(or worse) somewhere in your food if you actually did that to a waiter.
I remember something like that from 3rd Rock from the Sun where Dick was doing the same thing to the waitress.

« on: January 28, 2010, 01:16:09 PM »Which goes back to evil business men coming up with the 15% thing as an excuse to pay less. Many restaurants pay their servers below minimum wage and count tips towards making it equal minimum wageWhich goes back to my argument that you get better service this way. Would you rather your food cost 15% more and you didn't have to tip? There would be no incentive for servers to perform their jobs better. With tipping you get a say in your server's pay and they're motivated to do a better job.
I would agree if there weren't so many terrible servers out there.

« on: January 27, 2010, 08:31:14 PM »I don't understand tyhe american system for tipping people just because.
You get tipped because you EARN IT. I won't give you more money just because you grace me with your presence. If Nintendo could do that then they'd be the richest company on earth.
I follow your philosophy Plugabugz, there have been times where I gave no tip if the service was bad. I also don't understand the %15 thing, does it take more work to deliver your plate of crab legs and lobster compared to giving you a plate with a cheeseburger on it?
Exactly. When i was in NYC last week i left $20 tips for some places and $1 in others. The larger the tip the more i enjoyed the food and the person serving. It usually bears no relevance to 15%.
"I put so much energy in bringing you this plate of caviar for $50, I require 15%"
