Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion about anything thread
Post by: RABicle on February 04, 2003, 04:01:07 AM
Um yeah so why the hell cant we have our own thread? We basically hijacked that Nintendo Australia thread in the old forums to be a general chat.
So how's everyone doing back at school?
I'm doing ok myslef. I'm doing Intro Calc, Geography, English, History, Physics and Art. lol. I'm the only guy in our art class of 16. It's great.
So yeah, how's everyone else going back at the hell hole?

Why?  Because you aren't that special.  Sorry.  But this isn't something that deserves a special category.
If you get your own, then I can expect to have my own just because I am from Maryland.  And I don't take kindly to being referred to as a yank.  I could be offened if you were an adult.  You are being childish.

I was gonna post here last night, but the net disconnected and it was 4am, Sydney time. Look you guys, if RABicle wants a Nintendo Australia thread, let us have one. This IS General Chat after all. And if you want, you can make your own thread since you live in Maryland (I thought you were talking about Sydney suburb MERRYLANDS for a sec).
There are heaps of people on this forum from Australia:
-Myself (Termin8Anakin)
-RABicle
-Mario (formerly known as Game_Freak333 on the old forums)
-Infernal Monkey02
-Hybrid Hunter
-Lord of the Wang
-Frozen Ad
-Riste
-Poona
-t3july2003
-Shifty2k2

to name a few. Ok, I'm off now to buy a game and our monthly Nintendo Gamer mag. cyas all later.

My impression is and still is, that he didn't want a Nintendo Australia thread, but a thread for people in or from Australia and only those people, and those not pertaining to Australia could "Get lost yanks!" as his subject title made clear.  It is not his job to segregate the topics based on nationality for those of a particular nationality or ethnic background.  I don't care if he wants to have a topic solely for the purpose of discussion about Australia, that's not what pissed me off, but he's not going to tell me I'm not welcome just because I am not from Australia, which is what pissed me off.

RABicle, if you want an Australia thread, go right ahead but don't tell people different from you to get lost, it makes you appear close-minded and shallow.  

I don't have anything against you RABicle, or Australia so don't take it personally!  I would feel the same if anyone else had done the same thing for any country or state.

It's nothing against Australians, but the title of this thread is bound to piss a whole bunch of people off, whether it was meant in good spirit or not.  First off, Yanks is sort of a derogatory term, and second, saying they aren't allowed to post in this thread is bound to egg them on a little further.  
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: RABicle on February 05, 2003, 12:07:03 AM
Ok I'm sorry about that Americans, I didn't really mean to offend anyone. I guess it was just adding an Australian feel to the thread, or somthing.
Anyway Game_Freak and Infernal Monkey better get their thin old razor arse in here. I also sent a message to Evilmanman, a guy from my town and who's posting in these forums again because he hated the ads of Ezboard.
Anyway yeah. How's everyone coping with school and stuff.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Evilmanman on February 05, 2003, 02:01:15 AM
I had to work 4 times in a row at work right when school started, and my brother went to the big day out(he woke me up when he got home at 3:00 in the morning) so I am a little bit tired. 0_0

I'm doing 6 T.E.E subjects, most of them are ok, but physics and Intro calc... we have been given assignments on things that we aren't covering in class so I am a bit confused
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on February 05, 2003, 02:15:27 AM
RABicle mate, I hope ur enjoying school, cause I don't go no more! Haha.
Yep, I got a month to go b4 I start my first year of Uni. I'm doing a Bachelor of Arts(Communications), which relates to journalism and stuff, so Nintendo Gamer Magazine, here I come! Haha.

Yeah, for an Aussie thread, there seem to be more Americans in here than Aussies.
I guess you guys hate being called Yanks as much as we hate to be called Steve Irwin, Crocodile Dundee and G'Day mate!

TRUE STORY: I remember I was in LA back in '96, and a chick came up to me and said "Are you from Lake Tahoe? I'm from Fresno!" (I went to Lake Tahoe to do some skiiing and bought myself a cap). I said "Nah, I'm from Australia". Immediately, her eyes lit up, and she said with a big enthusiastic smile: "Giiiidaaaaaay Maaaaaate!" and shook my hand. "I absolutely LOVED Crocodile Dundee!" Well, I was only in Year 6, and I had never heard of the guy. I smiled and went off on my merry way.
I found out when we got home that Crocodile Dundee was a movie, starring Paul Hogan as the title character, impressing onlooking Americans with his naive Aussie outback mannerisms. Frankly, I found all three to be boring as hell.

And guess what? I'm Asian!

-Mario (formerly known as Game_Freak333 on the old forums)

Im Game Freak now! Anyway, i just went back to school, im doing English, Maths, IT, Software, Art (only 7 other people in my class) and modern history. Damn year 11, too much work, i need more time to play GC and GBA. I like how Metroid Prime and Pokemon come out just before the holidays, gives me time to play them heaps. Anyway, good thread RABicle, go away yanks!

EDIT: Oh yeah, does anyone know when the next Nintendo gamer will actually be on the shelves, the only one that i can find is the Metroid Prime one, its says the next issue should be available January 29th, but it isnt.  
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: RABicle on February 06, 2003, 03:50:14 AM
I dont read Nintendo Gamer anyway, silly magazine IMO. But the latest Hyper is coming out soon. Well it should be out now, I'll have to buy it.

Pst, Evilmanman (or can I say your real name Dan?)  These guys wont know what we;re tlaking about when we referr to the TEE, Only WA is disabled enough to use the system.

Yeah actually speaking of Art classes. There's a girl in my class (well she would have to be, I'm the only guy) who is doing TEE art and non TEE art. Basically that means of her 6 possible subjects 2 of them are art. That's 7 and a half hours of art at school a week. I could never do that. I only really chose to do easy art (non TEE) as a break from subjects such as Intro Calc and Physics

Anyway how about we all go by real names here? They're just shorter and easier to remeber than our usernames
yeah my real names Roland
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on February 06, 2003, 04:55:44 AM
Yeah I know eh. So much for Jan 29th. It had better be a good issue for us to wait an extra week. And where's that 'Where Are They Now?' special that Narayan was gonna do? Seriously that something he had to do didn't take THAT long?

Yo Game_Freak, cool you got ur name back. What school do you go to? I went to St Patrick's Strathfield. Assuming you live in Burwood, since your closest EB is Burwood Westfield, is it Christian Bros?
Sorry if I'm asking too much. Just wanna know, if that's OK.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Game_Freak on February 07, 2003, 02:08:27 AM
I go to Ashfield high school, i used to go to Strathfield North in primary school even though i live in Burwood. It's cool coz i get heaps of free periods, monday and wednesday i only have to go to school from 8am to 10am. Anway, have you guys seen the aussie CUBE magazine, its awesome, it's got reviews for Wind Waker and Metroid Prime. Im still waiting for Nintendo Gamer though. What area do you live in Termin8Anakin?
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on February 07, 2003, 04:33:11 AM
I live in Greenacre. Don't believe any of the press or your friends! It's not that bad of an area to live in. We leave our back door open all the time. But then again, we DO have a rather large German Shepherd there. Haha.
I was suprised at what HAS happened here though when I heard about it, and I've been living here for 10 years.

Oh yeah, I've seen the new CUBE Mag. Way cool.
I think it's weird though how they're just the UK mag in disguise. I haven't bought it (yet), but look at the front editorial, at the top of the page above the pic of the cover. See what it says? ISSUE 15! Ha! It's issue 5, fellas! How's that for stuff ups. And they've been doing it since Aussie Cube 'ISSUE 1'.
And you know what else is funny? They've just made a report on Megaton! On the PlayStation 'Controversy' and everything that we've been talking about since November. Talk about late. How's about a REAL Aussie CUBE mag eh Paragon? Cool company name as well.

hey i'm from australia and pretty new to the PGC forums. I go to Macquarie uni (Sydney) doing Computing and Info Systems. Oh and the new Hyper is out. anyway anyone else from sydney?  
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Game_Freak on February 07, 2003, 01:06:40 PM
I live in Sydney, and i believe Termin8Anakin and Infernal Monkey also live in Sydney.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on February 07, 2003, 04:27:40 PM
Yes. Greenacre is in Sydney. It's the next suburb from Bankstown. In case anybody didn't know.
And Hyper this month is cool, cause Metroid Prime is the Game of the Month (well, why wouldn't it be?!)!

Oh, and by the way, I bought Extreme G3 on Thursday. It's the most sick ass game on the planet! No fog, no slowdown AT ALL, and the speed is all there. You can even break the bloody sound barrier when you go upwards of 800km/h.
The major gripe I have with it though are the weapons and the AI of the other racers. The only weapon you should have are the basic blasters. Anything else is just crap to use. And like F-Zero X, your boost comes out of your health. So, you've got boost, crashing into walls, and weapons flying up your ass, and you're only on the first lap, and your health is going down like crazy. All of a sudden. BOOOOM! You're dead. Ahhh crap.
If there is an option/cheat to turn off the weapons, please, tell me.
I think that's the reason why I love F-Zero so much. Speed is the only thing you have to worry about.

Well, it's been fun but this will be my last post in the PGC forums for at least a few months. Im getting my internet connection disconnected for a few months, so i wont be able to go on the internet anymore. Plus, ive got heaps of things to do. Anyway, cya guys, lets just hope Nintendo Australia gets their act together this year. FAREWELL PGC!

Well, there ARE such things as friends houses and internet cafe's, so it WOULD make sense to use those facilities when the time is right. Not having the internet for a few months would kill me. I need my daily does of games, and....other.....forms...of...personal.....entertainment.....

And Mike C, good luck to you and the rest of New Zealand with the Cricket World Cup. Hahahahahaha!

Post by: RABicle on February 11, 2003, 12:09:57 AM
geez i was worried just as you said that post before. We'd be missing you for sure but your not leaving anymore so all is good.
Anyway the cricket is on now, I cant believe Symonds is actually making some runs, personally I dont know how he got into the team but it wold seem he's helping Australia make a somewhat respectable score against Pakistan. But I hope some other country wins the world cup, not australia. I'ld like to see the Windies win, or Canada!

and yes there do seem to be a lot of sydney ppls here.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on February 11, 2003, 01:39:34 AM
I would like to see the US win the Cricket (!)
Shame about Shane today.
Anyway, good to see ya back Game_Freak, if indeed you were ever gone.

Geez, now I can see ads for the Zelda Pre-order thing in the US (check the main Forums page), and now I want some definite info for Australia dammit! Nintendo just set a date for Zelda Wind Waker, and it's coming in May, which is good news, hopefully before E3 2003. Or else some people will surely get their asses kicked!

On to other news, I bought Extrreme G 3 last thusday, and I must say that it is a VERY GOOD game. But I do have lots of gripes about it. Namely the AI of the racers in the 500G cups onward (which utilise the 'elastic band' theory where when you pass them , they zoom past you, then you pass them, they pass you and so on), the whole system of weapons (which is crap, cause looking for small mines on the track whilst going at 600km/h is something no one should do in a futuristic racer - you should be concentrating on the track), and the length of the game itself (10 tracks).

hey, this is Frozen Ad here.  when this forums opened, i jumped at the chance to get AiAi (without any characters at the end).  After all, i was born in the year of the monkey, therefore i devote myself to being a monkey!

anyway, i must be the only person from Melbourne?  oh well.  i'm entering my final year subjects at university, studing engineering: robotics and mechatronics.  be afraid of me, very afraid!

BTW, game freak, i think that CUBE mag is the same as the uk version.  a friend gave me an issue he got for free from his neighbor (who works at a mag. warehouse distributor).

Ahhh, so AiAi is Frozen Ad. Good to see ya round here dude.
Well, I was born in the year of the Ox, so you don't see me calling myself 'Heffer' (from Rocko's Modern Life) do you? Haha.

And as I have said before, the Aussie Cube Mag IS the UK version in diguise. We're about 2-3 issues behind. I bought the UK version, hoping to fill the void that Nintendo Gamer (sort of) left unfilled. Then the 'Aussie' version came. And I bought that. #1 of the Aussie Cube mag was about the launch of Gamecube in 'Australia'. It came in a neat little slip-in cover. Unfortunately for me, the UK #6 came out a while later, and it too had a neat little slip-in cover. It was when I read the mag, and compared the two that I realised I was buying the same mag twice. I stopped buying the UK version at #7, and started buying the Aussie version. The crap thing is they use figures from Nintendo of Europe in their interviews like David Gosen and Shelley Friend about the Cube Clubs and such - well, we didn't have Cube Clubs here in Australia, so anyone here that bought those issues and went around Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Darwin and Hobart looking for them, stop. You are stupid.

So buy the Aussie Cube if you want, buy be warned that the info in it is Europe-related, not Austrralia and New Zealand. I buy it simply for the reviews, previews and features. And believe me when I say, the features are excellent. I especially like the 'Act Your Age' feature in Issue 2 about mature games on Gamecube.

I just went to EB earlier today, and i asked about the zelda bonus disk. They said that Nintendo Australia were thinking of not releasing it here due to lack of demand for the Gamecube and Zelda. Every Australian reading this, or anyone else from any other countries are also welcome to help out, EMAIL nintendo australia and tell them you want the Bonus Disk. Say, you heard about the preorder deal that was happening in America and Japan and you want to know if its happening in Australia and tell them you want the damn bonus disk. Zelda preorders in the US are breaking sales records (over 250000 already and the preorder deal hasnt even officially started yet), and Nintendo Australia arent releasing it because of lack of demand?!?!?!!?? This further proves my theory about Nintendo Australia being the laziest company in the world. In case your wondering what thier email address is, feedback@nintendo.com.au is where you should send you email. I WANT THAT DAMN BONUS DISK!
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Uncle Rich AiAi on February 14, 2003, 11:43:18 PM
the "Act Your Age" feature was really good (that was the issue i got for free from my friend).  it was interesting what people thought mature titles were, ie: not blood or violence, but if it is challenging for an adult and takes its content seriously.

i still consider the British PC Gamer to be the best gaming mag i've read.  i've been a subscriber for years.  the quality of the reviews/previews etc are really good, better than what i read on the internet.  no offense PGC, this is a PC mag, not console.  and the humour is beyond belief (eg: "What?  Your are so fired! - Ed" and other silly features).  also the CD demo disc saves me from having to download demos and movies (i have a 56k connection).  i'm also proud to display my pile of CD demos (about 100 of them!) on the shelf behind me!


mario, looks like i'm going to have to pre-order zelda from europe (if they get the deal).  i got a feeling this might happen.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on February 15, 2003, 06:25:44 PM
Pre-order deal or no pre-order deal, I went and pre-ordered Zelda today anyway.
I don't want to wait for Nintendo of Australia to finally announce it, only to have missed out on it cause I held out to the last minute. If it doesn't come out here, well, at least I'm one of the first people to get it. And lots of people owe me money, so I'm not really gonna be payig a lot for it anyways. Haha.

Come on guys! There only 98 signatures on it! I am number 98!
Would Nintendo of Australia only believe 100 people from all over Australia? No! So get over there and sign, unless all of us from Australia on this board have already done so.

We shouldn't have to be doing this anyway. Nintendo should have already announced it.
I hope that after this petition is sent, that Nintendo updates the site, and we all get a mention:
"Due to unprecedented amounts of whinging and pleading, we have finally given Australian gamers the chance to play Ocarina of Time on the Gamecube....."

That would be funny. And a good day.

OOhh, I signed that Zelda thingy a few weeks back. Just look for someone bitching by the name of Lance McGill =P

! Also, I noticed something funky today at my local Grace Bros. store in Blacktown, NSW.. You can get Happy Potter: CoS for $39.95 PLUS they chuck in a memory card 59!
Of course, I leaped on it. The lady who served me had no idea if this deal was happening anywhere else, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

Harry Potter is actually a great deal better than I thought it would be!
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on February 19, 2003, 05:05:11 PM
The game was also a great deal better than I thought it world be, since the controls are basically like Zelda OoT! It does get frustrating at times, and that's where some othe faults are. Quitel a lot of frustrating gameplay features, and the controls to get annoying. But the camera is great, and the framerate is smooth as ice. But nothing beats flying around on the broom, so the Quidditch matches were cool, but being able to fly around Hogwarts is even better. The whole castle is modelled in great detail, you will enjoy it a lot.
But a word of warning. The game is extremely short, which is a shame. If Chamber of Secrets is anything to go by, I'm certainly looking forward to the Prisoner of Azkaban game.

Today, Saturday and Sunday they're having a sale on a heap of stuff, including games. ALL GAMES ARE 50% OFF

Teh bonus disk r coming to huztraliaaa~!!!!11onetwothree!!!! I cant wait! I also saw heaps of advertising for the free game deal in front of EB, good news, now all nintendo australia need to do is put ads on tv.

And DAMN that domayne sale is awesome, i was gonna buy yoshis island and golden sun today, but lucky i didnt. Gonna go down to auburn tomorow and get some bargains!!

ARG! I didn't get to go to Auburn today >_<
Must. Go. Tommorrow.

It ends Sunday!
There's no official catalouge, but there was a small newspaper advert in last Sunday's Sunday Telegraph. I didn't even see it till a friend told me about it yesterday.

And this lucky bastard posted what he got there over at Hyperactive.com.au

Quote

Pikmin
Sega Soccer Slam
Eternal Darkness
Tony Hawk 4
NBA Live 2003 (A game I should've got for Christmas, but I got Pac Man for GBA instead)
Controller (Spice)
Memory Card 251
GC/GBA Link Cable


Total RRP approx = $590

I paid $295 !!!!!!!!!    

Thank you Harvey Norman (Bennet's Green store) and Domayne NSW !


ARG, ULTRA BARGAINS!

Not only this, but Kmart has another 20% GameCube games deal going, started today, lasts till next Friday. Catalouges should have arrived all over Australia by this morning (Well, that's when I got mine)

I did get to go to my local Kmart this afternoon, only to find basically nothing on the shelves. I didn't realize so many people were interested in GameCube in stinky ol' Blacktown :/

Odd.

Anyway, more bargain deal goodness.
Not only is Harry Potter $39.95 with a free memory card 59 over at Myer/Grace Bros/MegaMart
But the free memory card deal also works with a bunch of other games, including Mortal Kombat: DA and NightFire. All stores across NSW now have this deal in place, see instore for a full list of games that'll come with the memory card.

Oh yeah, and the card is official. No 3rd party crap...

And Mario, are you sh*tting me? EB said the pre-order deal is coming to Australia? Man! I was in Burwood today, (saw Undercover Brother, which was OK) but the shops were closed (DAMN!).
Yeah, and I saw heaps of ads for the free Gamecube deal thing as well. I think things are pretty much picking up here now. It's great isn't it?
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Mario on February 22, 2003, 11:26:58 AM
Monkey, HOLY SH!T that is a GOOD FUGIN DEAL, im gonna kill that bastard And is there anywhere that i can get Mortal Kombat DA for cheap with the memory card, coz ive been wanting to get that game and a free memory card is the clincher. But i dont wanna pay full price for it coz i just no it will go on sale straight after i get it. Anyway, Termin8anakin, it really looks like GC is pretty popular now, i wonder what the latest aussie sales figures r gonna be, should be interesting.

yes it will be very interesting, once we get metroid/zelda/pso/animal crossing things will probably pick up even more (about florking time). alot of the consoles being sold at the moment with the free game deal could be people who really want zelda/metroid in particular and are getting on board at a good time

Mario, the cheapest way (at this point in time) to get Mortal Kombat: DA is this, now get out your pen and notepad!

-Get yourself the K-Mart catalouge

-Go to Grace Bros. with it

-Bring along a turnip and a barrel or spiced rabbit feet (Important factor, that one)

-Throw the catalouge in their face and show them the 20% off GameCube games bit on page 2

-They'll match it and chuck in the memory card 59, so you'll get MKA with a memory card 59 for roughly $80.95

Huzzah!

Well, thats an ok bargain, but...... not good enough..
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on February 23, 2003, 04:32:40 PM
not good enough? thats a fl0rking good deal as far as im concerned, 80 for a NEW game and  memory card!!
come on! COME ON!

i would do it if i had 80 laying around, mortal kombat games are allways great multiplayer fun, nothing like a round of "loser gets off" with about 8 friends, the thrill, the exhileration, the un beliveable joy of beating someone whos been there for about 10 consecutive turns ^_^

If you said you wished you were Australia a few weeks a go, we'd have killed you. All the games and accessories you guys get first (I'm assuming you're American here) makes some of us wish we lived in America (maybe). Well, we could just import and let it be done with.

I was over at Nintendo Australia's site, and their Game Matrix only has two racing games coming this year! They are F-Zero and Lotus Challenge! I would think that they'd at least have Mario Kart on it. But there is one that is missing. And that is Burnout 2. It's not even on the list. Is it even coming to Australia?

hmmm...i don't see GC sales picking up.  if nintendo australia doesn't advertise, the average Joe won't know.  why would the average Joe want to pick a GC with a free game if their perception of nintendo is "kiddy"?  Capcom should have advertised RE (i don't know if they did, i hardly watch network TV) and should do so with the forthcoming RE0.  Nintendo should have done the same with ED (again if they didn't), and should shove Metroid Prime down our throat.

i know i'm bitching, but i don't see sales picking up.  i'll stop now.

Ok, I went to EB Bakstown yesterday, and asked them about the Zelda ore-order deal.

It's not happening, as far as they know. I even told them about Mario's story at EB Burwood. And as far as I know, it's not coming to Australia. But then again, it's coming in May, so we might get it yet.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on February 26, 2003, 01:54:07 PM
Welp, I'm guessing we'll either get it the same way the rest of the PAL gaming world is, ie: it comes as a pack-in when you buy Zelda: WW, and like the gold coloured Zelda: OoT, it'll only last a short time.

And failing that, I guess we just won't get it at all.

Oh yeah, anybody else get the stupid newsletter from Nintendo about the free game deal? Yeah, it's been going on for weeks in EB World, and they only just now send emails to fans telling them of the deal. Here's an idea Nintendo, instead of telling people who already own a GC, ADVERTISE IT ON TV!!!!
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on February 26, 2003, 05:19:00 PM
Nintendo have only just started telling people about the free game deal because EB's one was unofficial.

I'll be pretty disappointed if the pre-order deal doesn't come to Australia, but I'm just glad I'm getting Zelda.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on February 27, 2003, 02:44:53 PM
I just wish Nintendo Australia would stop farting around and either tell us that it's coming, or it's not. This silence is annoying, because if we don't get it, I plan on ordering the game from the UK (I'm that desperate to get the bonus disc)

Oh yeah, I got Bloody Roar: Primal Fury and Lost Kingdoms today, in one pack at K-Mart, $39.95 ^_^
It was $50, which I thought was damn good, but they still have the 20% sale going today, so it ended up at $40. Not too shabby!
Lost Kingdoms is pretty boring/horrible/crap, so I'll most likely trade that at EB World at a later date, but Bloody Roar is great! The anime video clips are uber high quality. Funny how Hudson can produce FMV of this quality, yet a much larger company like EA can't.

same here.  i've never had a N64 (okay,  okay, shoot me.  i was a PC fanboy back then!), therefore never played OoT. and i want the game really bad.  i'll be disappointed if Nintendo Australia decides not to.

Before I die from loss of sleep (stayed up all last night watching d/l'ed movies I've never had the time to watch, now it's 12:07 AM, ugh)
I suggest everybody go check out their local Harvey Norman stores. Word on the streets (Well, over at PALGN) is that HN is going to stop stocking GameCube altogether due to sales, and that they're almost giving away what stock they have left.

Some have claimed titles such as ZooCube selling for $14.95.

Metroid Prime

Looks like Nint Aus are gonna take Metroid Prime quite seriously

Yes? or
No?

I start my life at University tomorrow (or today, since it is now twenty past the hour of midnight)! I only go to Uni on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday!
- Monday 3pm-5pm
- Wednesday 8am-9am
-Thursday 10am-4pm

Sux about Thursday, but how cool is Monday and Wednesday! Only a couple of hours at Uni! HA! And I got Tuesday and Friday off! HAHAHA!

I get 20 bucks cash off me mam and pap every week so in 5 weeks, I can get a new game. Plus I'm gonna trade in XG3, and maybe Bond. I might get a job, but that's just not me.

And Zelda? Well, I've already got Ocarina of Time on N64, so I'm not really THAT insistent on getting the pre-order games, but the fact that other PAL regions have it and we probably won't says something about the imcompetance of Nintendo of Australia. But I want it anyway, and Master Quest has been sounding juciy ever since the 64DD.

*Shoots AiAi*

And Dark Cloud 2? For PS2?
*Turns and swings at Mario*

And who else thinks that Rick's editorial was sooooo enlightening?
I think that all these blowouts before E3 makes me all gooey and happy inside. I mean, Metal Gear Solid for our little GC, heaps of 1st party games, MULTIPLE Silicon Knights games, possible online games, and Miyamoto-san's smile at the mention of LAN games only makes this E3 more exciting than any before it.

Why is this funky? The AC includes the Freeloader built in. THAT, my friends, means easy access to the likes of Animal Crossing! lik-sang.com offers AC for around $79.95 AUD, pretty sure that includes postage too. But I'll check up on it later... FRIENDS IS ON!

BTW, Infernal Monkey, i went to my local Harvey Norman store and they were not having a GC sale or giving away stock (most games were at 99.95 and i did ask the store person).  you own me $3 for the petrol i wasted!

yesterday (friday), i was in the city and went to myers (grace bros.) to get SMB2.  seeing it not on the shelf, i went to counter and ask the guy.  he told me the distribution was on strike and they were 3-4 weeks behind stock.  WTF?  nice way of running a department store myers!  so i went target and again, they didn't have it.  they guy at the counter didn't know much, except he said they may get it in the afternoon.  so i went bananas (okay, not really).  tomorrow (sunday), i give my local EB and target a ring.  or i'll go bananas again.

Termin8Anakin, i live in Melbourne and go to Swinburne University of Technology in Hawthorn.  it's a rather small uni.

Infernal Monkey, i don't accept a paper clip and IDs...


have any of you guys pre-ordered a game at EB?  i thinking of pre-order zelda now just in case nintendo australia decides to get off their ass and give us the bonus disc.  can you cancel a pre-order and get the $10 deposit back?  because i might if nintendo australia doesn't and get it from europe.

Post by: Infernal Monkey on March 07, 2003, 08:19:09 PM
Hmm, I see no reason why EB World wouldn't refund the $10.. But you might get it back in store credit or something *shrugs shoulders*

As for SMB2, well, GameNation are pricks. It's been delayed till the 14th. Along with Sonic Mega Collection..

http://gamenation.com.au/product/?action=releaseschedule&platform=10

But hey, PSO is coming out that same day too... Which.. I find almost impossible to believe.
And Ikaruga comes out on May 9th! Huzzah!

Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on March 08, 2003, 08:54:37 PM
OK. First up.
Today, Sydney's 'Sunday Telegrapgh' newspaper had a Domayne catalogue in it. It has it's famous 50% for all Gamecube games and accessories sale back on, and it's on until the 30th of March!

Second. I went to Domayne (Auburn, NSW), and found no Super Monkey Ball 2. Damn. But you know what? For a Gamecube sale, there was nothing there. I got there, and i was like "WTF? Where's all the GC stuff?" I looked around near the XBox and PS2 shelves (3 massive shelves), and even the PSOne shelf, then the GBA shelf. I found the GC stuff in the middle of the aisle, all crammed on ONE table. Hell, there was more memory cards in the big crate than there were games. The weird thing is that there was not one Gamecube shelf anywhere. The PSOne and GBA shelves were 10 times bigger. The Gamecube console boxes were on the floor near the display unit. And there were 9. Did I miss the initial rush? Or was this it?

I think you should just forget going to Domayne, and show the catalogue to EB then get 60% off. Sick.
And SMB2 comes out on the 14th now, so that's OK.

Infernal and AiAi: EB should give it back in cash, since it IS a deposit, not an actual payment. If you go ahead with purchasing the game, the deposit just goes into the total price, so you'd only have to pay the extra 80 or so dollars. If they gave it back in EB gift vouchers, well, sue them.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on March 08, 2003, 09:20:17 PM
Yeah, I almost wet my pants upon opening the gaming page of the Domayne catalogue.. Know what sucks? I tried two different EB Worlds for a price match, and got nothing.
They have to ring up the Domayne stores to see how much the game you want is selling there. Don't ask me why, but they both did it (Along with Grace Bros.) and each time, I got told they didn't have the game/s in.

I later find out that this GC deal has been going for over a week now (From various people at Hyperactive), so that's why their range of games is rather... Uh, crap. All the good games are LONG gone from the majority of stores in NSW.

Arg!!

thanks for the EB info.  and yeah, i'll see sue them if they give the $10 in EB gift vouchers.

Grand Prix huh? I was wondering why there was a lack of Mario on these forums.
When I bought ED, I showed the guy at EB Bankstown a catalogue for Games Wizards, and got a further discount. So I got ED for $88, rather than the usual $99. But you know what? They guy didn't ring up! He just told me, on the spot, that "yep, we do that here". So, I'm gonna try it again with SMB2, although, with the stories you've been telling me, it's probably not going to happen. And Domayne probably aren't gonna get a new shipment of Gamecube stuff anytime soon, if all the GC stuff was crammed onto a table, that was more filled with GC carry bags than GC Games.

And yeah, I too saw RE0 today, yet I cried like a schoolgirl having female troubles as I saw the price, $110! Bloody hell, what do they think I am? Some kind of $110 person? A person who is made out of $100 notes and $10 notes? I DON'T THINK SO!
I only had a sad face and $60, which I spent on Anime DVD's, Love Hina volume 5 and 6 all the way! YEAH!

hey, anyone get nintendo australia's member newsletter?  yeah, when i clicked it, i hoping it would be about the zelda bonus disc (so i can wet my pants), but no, they were hyping the GBA SP.  *sign*

and mario, why didn't u tell me u would be at melbourne?  we could've staged a riot at nintendo australia's HQ.  i've never been to the GP, except been outside the fence (and climbing the fence as well).  i don't find it useful going if you can't see the whole track, only seeing a small portion of it.  my old school was a block away from Albert Park (on St Kilda road), and my year 12 physic class teacher took us down there (hence, us student climbing the fence to see the cars).  i always found it funny that other schools further from Albert Park would close down during the GP, and mine didn't.  and purple uniforms ruled, oh yeah!

Infernal Monkey,  i've never heard of Love Hina?  what it's about? (checking it out at madman.com.au) i like anime as much as the next person and Voltron ruled the day.  i am currently really enjoying watching Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040.  chicks that kick ass make for entertaining TV.

And yeah, Monkey and Mario should stop selling death sticks and rethink the way they're living their lives. I mean, RE0 being out is a cause for celebration, but $110? COME ONE CAPCOM/NINTENDO! If two game discs cost 110 dollars, that would make one disc games 55 dollars! We are being ripped off! ARRGH!

Yup, Love Hina's all about one very lucky guy who becomes the apartment manager for an all-girls, uh, apartment block. He's attempting to make it into Tokyo-U based on a promise he made to a girl when he was a wee-one.
It's hilarious, it has a deep storyline buried in there, but it's all about nose-bleeds, comedy and general uh, fun stuff. Sometimes it does get a bit disturbing (Giant mecha turtles, entering an RPG video game)

But it gets 75 thumbs up!

*Does a backflip off house into compost heap*
Mmmmm, stinky.

And death sticks Termin8? I don't know what you're talking about! No sir! What's that behind my back you ask? Why death sti*... Uh, hey look over there! A giant bottlecap!

Well i cracked open and bought RE0, and what are you guys talking about, it was only $99 where i got it at Kmart I just started playing it, its awesome! If you liked REmake, then youll love RE0. The graphics are mindblowing! The opening video before the main menu looks like an ad, they should advertise this game, its friggin awesome... *Goes back to playing Resident Evil Zero*

Aiai, damn i forgot you lived in Melbourne, and anyways i didnt know i was going until the day before so i had to pack and stuff and yeah...

Post by: Infernal Monkey on March 11, 2003, 02:55:26 PM
Bah, it's $110 at Kmart at Parramatta... And Blacktown don't even have it. I'm going into EB World on Friday to pick up a copy of Sonic Mega Collection, I might trade in some of my more crappy PS2 games to get money off RE0 while I'm there. Yay, I'll be broke once again!

*Presses pause on Resident Evil Zero*

SONIC MEGA COLLECTION!!!!1111 SH!T!!!! I completely forgot about that game! Nooooooooooooooooo, now i dont have enough money for it.... Oh well Resident Evil Zero is owning me now, i LOVE the character zapping thing, and the graphics are real, they are REAL! Im in the train, played for about an hour, theres alot of scary parts near the begining, the gameplay is heaps improved upon the REmake. For some reason the first 10 or 20 minutes of the game arent so special, but after that it really heats up, man i love this game!

*Continues playing Resident Evil Zero*

I wonder if my friend has RE0 yet? Hmmm.
I might drop by for a visit.

I need a new game. I've bought the games which you can finish too easily.
-Rogue LEader. After doing it the first time, there's no motive to go and get all the medals.
-Nightfire. Same here, as with the difficulty levels.
-XG3. Cheats make this game fun, but easy, and for not too long as well. Double winnings, Infinite ammo and shields=boosting all the way, and breaking sound barriers every two seconds. I bought every weapon, upgrade and engine, and Ive got at least 4 million bucks in the bank still. Cool, but pointless, since after you finish the game, you can't race anymore in career mode.

Im gonna sell XG3 tomorrow, and buy SMB2. YAY!

ARG!
GameNation screws us once again... I went to their site this morning and saw a nice "OUT NOW" on both SMB2 and Sonic Mega Collection in the GC release date section, so "Huzzah!" I scream, and off I go into town.

Get to EB...
No SMB2.... No SMC....

EB World Guy: "Nah, SMC has been shipped to our warehouses, so we'll have it in about Monday... SMB2? Dunno mate"

Yeah i no, fugin hell, i casually strolled into Kmart wondering what the Sonic Mega Collection box would look like, i looked in the Gamecube section (my local Kmart has a rather large Gamecube section ) and NO SONIC MEGA COLLECTION Fluckin hell, i was really lookin forward to that game too, im gonna buy it instead of Metroid ... It better be there on Monday... Oh and btw, thanks for the Sonic 3 ice cap remix Monkey, thats awesome! Im listening to it right now
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on March 13, 2003, 06:39:02 PM
No probs Mario

Ah well, the recent news that we are indeed getting the Zelda bonus disc here has sorta made some of my anger from the lack of SMC go away. (Wow, what a long sentence!)
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Mario on March 13, 2003, 08:34:28 PM
YES! *jumps up and down like homer simpson trying to reach a beer on the shelf above him* And my EB says that the free bonus disk will also come with a free memory card 59!!!! Good to hear the Pokemon cartoon is coming back, and with the Pokemon games coming out a week after and a movie in the near future, those little monsters are gonna invade Australia once again. Oh yeah and http://www.informbd.com.au/i3/html/Top%2010%20GCN%20Games.html (the game only came out on March 7, 2 days in the chart) Resident Evil Zero is now my precious lovechild, it has captured me, im serious, the game is fugin brilliant. I swear its worth getting for the cutscenes alone, they take my breath away and theres no pauses like in Remake.

PS: Did anyone get the members newsletter from Nintendo Australia, its got a cool competition, is anyone here gonna enter it?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

OH SH!T!!!!! I think all the peaople who signed that petition can rest easy. And there were quite a few people who said that if Nintendo of Australia didn't bring the pre-prder deal here, that they would leave NIntendo and buy other consoles. Well, they can eat their own words and come celebrate, cause it's the day that NOA finally listens to our cries of despair! And they will surely listen to our praise. I think that this is something that should be advertised now, since it is a pre-order deal after all.

I gotta head over to Funland Games and ask them if they're on Nintendo's list of stores that are gonna get this deal, or else I gotta pre-order with EB.

Oh, and EB said today that SMB won't be coming out until Monday/Tuesday. Only a few more days. And I traded in XG3. But guess how much it fetched in store credit? A measly $27! Rip-off! I got the game barely a month ago. Christ!
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on March 14, 2003, 01:46:38 PM
$27 for XG3? That's actually quite good...

And yeah, I'm actually not quite sure if we have to pre-order to get the bonus disc. NOAus havn't mentioned that we have to pre-order, just that there will be a special edition 2 disc set type thing..

Ah well, at least it's actually coming.

Damn year 11, too much work, i need more time to play GC and GBA. I like how Metroid Prime and Pokemon come out just before the holidays, gives me time to play them heaps. Anyway, good thread RABicle, go away yanks!

EDIT: Oh yeah, does anyone know when the next Nintendo gamer will actually be on the shelves, the only one that i can find is the Metroid Prime one, its says the next issue should be available January 29th, but it isnt.


I prefer Australian Cube to Nintendo Gamer you should have a look at it i think it's better than NG
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Mario on March 14, 2003, 10:03:09 PM
Yeah, ive seen Australian Cube and it looks pretty cool, but ive stopped buying magazines now simply because its a waste of money to buy a bunch of articles that you read two weeks ago on the internet. Actually i only buy magazines for the posters now

Anyway, i was listening to 2day FM and they were pimping the Gamecube like theyres no tomorow. They bring up the fact that you can win a Nintendo Gamecube with Rayman 3 like every 5 seconds, and they were talking about Metroid Prime as if it was the coming of christ. I think were gonna start seeing some Gamecube ads soon, probably for Metroid. It sucks that we didnt get the huge RE0 ad campaign that Europe got.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on March 14, 2003, 10:37:38 PM
Actually, we should start seeing MP adverts anytime now. I remember PGC had an article saying Nintendo Australia were going to have a MASSIVE television advertising campain for the Metroid Pak (GameCube, MP, and MP cover plate thingy)

While good, it has me slightly worried, because it may mean we won't be seeing the kick ass advert that was present in the US, but rather a crappy Australian made advert (Think of the Mario Party 4 advert.... *Sad face*)

Oh, and this is a milestone for my local EB, they've actually got giant posters around advertising Metroid Prime and even Super Monkey Ball 2! Keep in mind that Blacktown's EB World basically hate the GameCube! Good signs!

Anyway, they better bloody have Sonic Mega Collection there on Monday... I can't stand it anymore! I only just read that in this collection, you'll be able to play as Knuckles in Sonic 1! YOU COULDN'T DO THAT ON THE MEGADRIVE WITH THE HOOK-UPS! ARG, ME WANT GAME NOW!

HULK SMASH!

O. M. F. G! SH!t, sorry Metroid, but Sonic Mega Collection is sooooooooo mine on Monday...

*goes up to his chalkboard, writes all the good and bad points of SMC and Metroid, then tries to devise a plan to get enough money for both games, starts drawing knuckles* aww what the hell, Sonic Mega Collection GET!

PS: Im praying that we dont get a crappy Metroid advert, this game deserves so much more than that, bring on the awesome US ones, or even better, the Japanese ones... Or maybe both rolled into one advert, coz the US one didnt have much gameplay footage... *shrugs shoulders*

I don't think there is any better reply than your one Mario (above).

This year will truly usher in a new age (Hey, I love Eternal Darkness)!

OK, SMB2 and SMC come out Monday. Metroid in April, Zelda in May.
And Nintendo of Australia PROMISE a massive ad campaign from their website.
This had better come to fruition.
And with all this excitement among us, these will be good times.
Hopefully, the Metroid ads are shown at ALL times of day. So no 1am ads when no-one is watching.
I'll bet there's gonna be huge support from Cheez TV, since Pokemon is back on the 24th, and Pokemon, is well, all Nintendo. So from 7-7.30am, watch Cheez TV on Channel 10. Something might show early.

In the words of a true blue Aussie, Big Kev:
I'm Excited!

All my friends have their own cars. I don't. All money goes toward a better Gamecube game collection, and soon, a GBA SP. I have no need of worry of a new PC, cause that's what mums and dads are for.

My parents don't play games. My mum asked me a couple of months ago where do you turn on the computer, all the while pressing the reset button. Ahh, sweet mothers who only know the conditions of the house and the kids. God bless her.

Puzzle games? Hah! My parents only know the puzzles in the Women's Weekly magazines and the kids section of the newspaper. Electronic games are for those who wish to rot their brains. More power to us, I say.

Love Hina looks interesting to check out.  but i don't wanna buy the DVD (i don't know if i'm gonna like it).  the only store i know that rent animes is in the city, which is out of my way.  i guess i check it out to see if they have it next time i'm in the city.  and damn, i wish i could move into a all girl apartment building.

hey, does anyone know that Dendy Cinemas is showing COWBOY BEBOP, THE MOVIE?  head to www.dendy.com.au
i'm gonna see it this wed/thu.



BTW, i pre-ordered Zelda at EB, and never got told about getting a free memory card (are you sure this is correct?).

But i did notice something else, kmart in Ashfield where i bought RE0 from has sold out of RE0 There were about ten copies on the shelf when i got mine, thats pretty darn impressive. Oh, and Aiai, they told me about the memory card a while ago, before it was even officially announced, and the guy looked pretty dumb, so i doubt he knew what he was talking about.

Heh, can't wait till the 29th. Hell yeah, I'm going into the city to play upcoming GC games and laugh at the losers of the Pokemon contest. Plus I might even get the chance to kick Pikachu in the groin until he coughs up vital organs. I'm actually excited about this day!

Good to see Nintendo Australia is sorta getting it's sh!t together.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on March 16, 2003, 04:59:00 PM
There seems to be some sort of problem here. I think that all the store shelves have been duped by Nintendo of Australia. When they say that games are gonna be released, they ACTUALLY mean aproximately 3 weeks later. So really, we could be seeing SMB2 and SMC actually being released next month. And Metoid in May, Zelda in June.

Of course, I could be wrong.

Right now, I am sitting in the uni library typing this up (I'm not supposd to be here, I only allowed to be on for study purposes only. Oooooooh...I got busted once, and now I'm on the corner computer, looking every now and then around my shoulder.....Ooooooooh), and I'm eagerly awaiting the call from EB to pick up my copy of Super Monkey Ball 2 (on my mobile).

*waits patiently............................*
*checks computer task bar. It's 3:00pm*

Damn! I have a tutorial now. Gotta go! See y'all later tonight.

Hang on, how come you're online Mario? Ain't you at school?

Damn, I hope they have the likes of Metroid, Fzero and Zelda there to play!

... Might also attempt to kick Jade and Ryan in the balls too.

"Hey guys!"

damn Disney for hardly promoting the movie.  if they had promoted like they did (and are now with VHS and DVD release) of Lilo and Stich (sp?), it would done way better.  Spirited Away was freakin' awesome, i saw it twice and can't wait for the DVD release.  the book "The Art of Spirited Away" i ordered from Amazon.com should arrive any day now.

about SMB2, i rang EB on Friday and they told me it would come out this Tuesday.  i hope they ring me tomorrow and i'll go bananas all the way to EB...after all i am AiAi...why do i have to wait so long to see myself in a freakin' game once again?

tsk, tsk!!!!  

what kind of university is that?  i have used my uni library computer for any internet purpose (okay, with the exception of porn).  there are always Asians playing shockwave games and chatting.  heck, several times last year, my project group stayed to after 8pm b/c we spend to much time surfing the net instead of finishing the assignment and was SHOCKED when we got 90% for one of them.

Yeah, I wish it was like that, but there are heaps of people who need the net more than I do, liek for study. But there are librarians standing around watching for people who play flash games (the Metroid Prime one on the Nintendo Europe site is COOOOOL! I got busted playing that).
There are also a few Computer Labs on the campus, but hardly nobody goes there.

UWS Bankstown isn't that big a campus, not like Uni of Sydney or Uni of Technology Sydney (UTS).

EB had better ring me tomorrow as well. I WANT SMB2 NOW!
Does anybody know about what time of day They would call you? Just for future referecnce, since I'm home all day tomorrow anyway.

Haha. Right there with ya dude. I'll be there. Look for an Asian fella with a yellow and white 'cougar' shirt, and daaaark blue cargos. I'll also have a worn out coke bag. No crappy goatee, or half assed spiked hair. I'm 175cm. IS that tall? I dunno.  Answers to the name of Steve, Amidala Rocks, Anakin Must Die, Termin8, or Pham. Go to my website (look in sig below) so you guys know what I look like.

Unlike you, I'll shy away in some corner, telling kids how cool Nintendo is, and making them enter the comp. We should all go there. I'll be standing at the base of the stairs in front of Imax, at a time designated by me. Haha. More details soon. Get thusday's Daily Telegraph.

As much as I'd like to kick Matt and Jade's balls, I think I should just say thanks for running one of my fave animes. Then kick em. Haha. And yes, hopefully there are playable Gamecube pods of Zelda, Prime and F-Zero there (doubt it though).

See y'all there at our biggest Nintendo event evah!

My parents don't play games. My mum asked me a couple of months ago where do you turn on the computer, all the while pressing the reset button. Ahh, sweet mothers who only know the conditions of the house and the kids. God bless her.

Puzzle games? Hah! My parents only know the puzzles in the Women's Weekly magazines and the kids section of the newspaper. Electronic games are for those who wish to rot their brains. More power to us, I say.


well sadly this isn't the case for me, both mum and dad got their own pcs (after sick of the 3 of us shareing) and now ive been given the crappy 700, hence my need for a new one,  hrm, perhaps my mum is smarter than i give her credit for dad makes me handle all the "administration" type questions in this house (yay im a network admin!)


omg, i want to goto the pokemon thingy in sydney too! curse you brisbane cuuuuurse yoooooou

Hey, nice site Termin8. That's the first time I've actually noticed it in your sig ^_^;
Very smart looking! *Looks over at my old Geocities sites, hangs head in shame*

Hmm, I'll answer to the following *ahem*; Infernal, Monkey, Lance, Hey you! or even a slap to the back of the head.
It's all good!

I hope it gets a decent amount of people there, and hopefully Nintendo will promote the GameCube in there somewhere! I don't wanna it restricted to Pokemon Ruby and so on, no sir!

AND YAY! I FINALLY GOT SONIC MEGA COLLECTION!

Oh man, it's sad to say, but I almost cried when booting this up. So beautiful! From the scanned comics, to the STUNNING cleaned up versions of the Sonic CD video's (full screen anime fun!)

What was cool, is that as soon as I went to the games section, I unlocked "Flicky" because I had a SA2:B save on my card =)
That's all I've unlocked so far, really wanna unlock Ristar.

And the original Sonic is... Odd. It's actually the Japanese version, since the clouds in the background move, and there's more special effects with the water. Wonder why it was cut from the US/PAL versions?

Plus it has the option of playing them all in 60 Htz! YAY!

Why is that bad?

I just think it's weird that they're holding the event here in Sydney instead of Melbourne, since Nintendo of Australia HQ is based in Victoria.

So in that case, there must be something about us that ROCKS!

Infernal, i have a question. Would you buy Sonic Mega Collection over Metroid Prime? If they were both sitting on the shelf, and you could only buy one, which would it be? Oh, and has anyone played Super Monkey Ball 2 yet? I saw it today in Kmart.

Ok, just wondering, and METROID FUSION ROCKS dude, youre gonna love it, when Prime comes out im getting a GBA-GC link cable and see what kind of awesome stuff it can do. Anyway, im seriously getting my ass kicked in RE0, its friggin hard, those damn zombies, im really glad i bought this game, its really epic and scary and the puzzles are awesome.

Has anyone got Super Monkey Ball 2 yet?
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on March 19, 2003, 01:26:32 AM
Am I the only one on this thread who has Super Monkey Ball 2?

I got to Bankstown Sqaure after my day at Uni, and went straight to EB.
"Hi, just like to ask if Super Monkey Ball 2 is out today?"
I was expecting the guy to say 'nah, not till next year' or something.
"Yeah it's out today..."
I gave the Gamecube shelf a quick glance. It wasn't there.
"....but it won't be here until 2pm."
"OK, thanks."

I Walked off. So close yet so far. I took out my mobile, and it said 11am. DAMN! Three hours to burn, and nothing to do. So, I went to the Newsagent, smiled at the chick whom I fancy, and saw the new issue of Nintendo Gamer. Link is on front! I bought it, gave another smile to the chick whom I fancy, then went to the one place that could keep me busy for three hours. The library.
I hadn't been in a public library since 1998. It was newly refurbished, and I was impressed. I asked the librarian if I could aply for a card.
"Are you 18 years old?"
I was somewhat taken back. You need to be 18 to get a LIBRARY CARD? Man.
"Ah damn. I'm 17 turning 18 in a few months, so...."
"Sorry, you need your parents to come in here."
"OK, thanks."
I walked upstairs, and found one book that could keep me occupied for three hours. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, the novel.
I sat down next to two other chicks, whom I now fancy, and read the book. Only problem was, I kept looking at the clock for the time....every five minutes, so the time seemed to drag.
1:59pm, I left the library, and headed for EB.
"Is it in yet?" I asked.
The guy was just unwrapping them from the plastic.
"It sure is."
He took one from the box, scanned it, and said
"Thats $99.95 please."
I showed him the pre-order docket, which had $17 credit on it.
"Ahh, a pre-order, and $17 credit."
A few taps on the keybord, and he said
"Thats $82.95."
I paid the guy, and left with a, literally, fresh copy of Super Monkey Ball 2. I was suprised. I had never been so persistent on a game before. I think I'm gonna be RUTHLESS when it comes to get my copy of Zelda.


OK. Testing time.
I loaded up the game. Sega's logo came up, and then AV's logo, with it's harpsichord sounding theme.
I started the game, Story Mode, and watched the intro:
Whoever came up with the cinematics for this game must have been on some serious magic mushroom or something, cause the monkeys just keep flying from world to world in a flurry of rhymes, ending with 'Magical Spell is Ai-Ai-Poo!'

The gameplay is great. It can get annoying at times, though. This is one game that you don't want to turn up the speakers for. The music, a mix of cheery techno, is repetitive, but suits to some degree. The sound affects are cool. My sister just kept screaming every time Baby fell off the level (in practice mode). There is another annoying thing, and that is hearing 'Ready....Go!' all the time. On the hard ones, you will hear this every three seconds as you retry the level, and it will reduce you to a crying, mumbling heap. And I'm only up to World 3:10 (I'm stuck on the level called 'Dribbles', it is damn hard. And what was with that 'Inch' level in World 2? Geez, talk about Impossible).

The multiplayer, though, is f**cking awesome. I only had the chance to play bowling, but it was just amazing.

So far, I'd give the game a 90%.
Annoying at times, but purely addictive.

i almost bought fusion last week (i love pay day) but for some reason a greater force compelled me to get Golden Sun instead, which im loving (upto the cursed forest thingy, stupid idiots cutting the trees down) but yesh yesh, getting fusion in about 6-7 hours from now, depends how fast i can walk from woolies to myer heheh, might even get a gba/gc cable while im at it, maybe not

haha yeah, im going to goto the store before it opens so i can get my zelda before anyone! wont be able todo that with metroid =\ i stupidly pre ordered it where mum works, and now that i work, i cant really go there =\ so i better have a full day at work so i have something to take my mind off "metroid is out... why arnt' i playing it? where is metroid, ill bet everyone else is playing it, loving it too, why oh why cant i play it " etc

Well, personally, If I saw both of them sitting next to eachother, and I could only get one.. I'd go with Sonic Mega Collection. But hey, I have almost an obsession with Sonic the Hedgehog based stuff, so yeah! I will be getting Metroid, for sure, but I can't resist Sonic.

Mario, I'd say go with Metroid if you're stuck. Unless you have a fixation on Sonic like I, you'll get more out of Metroid.

*Shrugs shoulders*

And what's with Super Monkey Ball 2's box art? Bah, why can't we just stick with the American box?

Wow, when I first moved to NSW, I applied for a library card at Blacktown and Parra and got them right there and then, and I was like, 13 at the time! Silly 18+ library! =O MAYBE THEY HAVE PORN!

.... Hmmm, actually, if they did, I wouldn't suggest borrowing them. Might be hard to turn the pages =/

Hey Aussie Gamers! Shifty 2k2 is now the one and only Shifty!

I've just started at Adelaide Uni (give us a heads-up if you're around at all, I'm in most days 9-5) and this is a absolute drain on everything. Too much work. Too little time to do everything else that I was doing before Uni. So unfortunately the Cube is gathering dust. I haven't even got around to playing through Resident Evil or Eternal Darkness because of this, which I bought because I thought the boredom would get to me.

Apart from the deficiency in Nintendo lurve, Uni life is a blast. If you are of age, go out on a pub crawl with some friends. The Engineering Pub Crawl last week was the most fun I've had in ages, even with three months away from school. Imagine 750+ people, wandering the streets of Adelaide, searching for another place to get a cheap drink. That was how I spent 9 hours on a Friday night!

Hopefully I'll find some time to get through Metroid, but I'm not sure at this point.

Seeya round like a donut!

Grace Bros is opening a new store in Casula, at some place called Crossroads, and they're holding a sale......with Gamecube consoles going for a mere $99! And some games are going out the door for $19! No kidding, althought the games my cousin mentioned were Minority Report and Rocky.
The sale is also happening at Grace Bros at Auburn Mega Mart. I don't know about other Grace Bros stores, but if you don't have a Gamecube yet, GET ONE NOW!
And if you already have one, like me, well, suck sh!t.

Quick Mario, here's what you do!
Go to the City..... .......

*cough*

Uh, get off a Town Hall, ... You'll be on George street if you're lucky, so yeah, there's the giant cinemas there, take her to see some girly film (Can't think of what's on at the moment...)

Just, make sure you don't take her to Jackass: The Movie, while us guys find this hilarious, for some reason, chicks don't dig it.
*Shrugs shoulders*

While at a quiet moment in the movie, use this line, it works great:
"So, you like stuff?"

Then you'll get lucky right there and then. True story. It happened once when I was high on Nesquick! So it's GOTTA work!

But seriously, the movies always works, plus George street is swamped with various food eating places, or if you really wanted to impress (and empty your wallet) just walk down to China town and go to a fancy pants restuarant. And get very confused.

If only this was next month, you could take her to the Easter Show!
Heh, can't wait till the show, I'm going to embaress myself by playing those clown games (where you put the sticky, sweaty balls in the clowns mouth... What a dirty game!)


Quote

No kidding, althought the games my cousin mentioned were Minority Report and Rocky.

It would seem it also includes 18 Wheeler, Donald Duck Quack Attack and 'a few others not yet decided'

After seeing this great news in the MegaMart catalogue, I rang up a friend and told him about the $99 GameCube. Now he's going to camp outside the Auburn store at 8:00 Saturday morning =P
I ended up ringing about what other games would be $19.95... So yeah, Donald Duck, Rocky, 18 Wheeler, Minority Report and 'a few others'

Don't know if it's really worth my time going there to see the 'few others'...

Aw crap, I gotta vote tomorrow morning. *Sigh*
That means I have to get out of bed early just to go to a school and pretend to know what I'm doing.... Bah, I'll just close my eyes and select 15 people below the line.

*Closes eyes, attempts to select 15*

*Opens eyes to see a tree*

I think Bloodworth is right.
This isn't really the place to ask for advice about your possible love life.
But considering we are from Australia (and most from Sydney), our advice could come in handy.

But yeah, there's really nothing to do in the city except the movies, arcades, romantic walks around the botanic gardens, and some nice restaurants. I don't think that Maccas, KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King or Taco Bell would be a good place to eat on a date, unless you're feeling cheap. And you wouldn't be able to go clubbing, since you have to be over 18.

In closing, the movies always works.
Oh, can you drive? Take her to the Drive-In at Bass Hill. Great make-out opportunities there.

*AiAi comes back to Earth*

yeeha, i'm back after being missing (translation: went bananas) for 2 days....yep i got Super Monkey Ball 2 on Wednesday in the city for $88 and held it up a la Link!.  the store also had sonic mega collection and RE0.  I wept when i saw myself on the box art, pumping my fist in the air.  man, i rule!

am i the only person who perfers the PAL box art compared to the US?

SMB2.  rocks.  hard.  the main game is not as good as the first and i don't really like the switches.  i haven't tried the story mode, but did unlock the beginner extra levels and up to level 21 in advance.  shame in beginner you only need to not continue to unlock the extra level (although i did it without dying once) and the level 10 should have been harder.

the mini-games are way better.  monkey BOWLING rocks the mutha f**kin' world!  i love the CRAZY lanes!  tip:  GonGon is the best character to use (i got 4 strikes once on crazy lanes.  yep, i did!).  i've unlock the second stage and it's tough.  monkey target is better and i love the formation mode.  monkey race is more challenging (i haven't finished first in any course yet), monkey billiards has 4 different game modes.  the first mini-game i unlocked was monkey boat.  bad choice.  the controls feel sluggish.  next, monkey tennis!  monkey ball always bring a smile to my face!

why hasn't anyone else beside Termin8Anakin got this game?  get it guys!  BTW, Termin8Anakin wouldn't that chick you fancy be called Natalie?  lol!



i also saw COWBOY BEBOP, the movie.  if you're a fan of anime or the TV series, see it!  it was good , not great or special like Spirited Away was.  if you are one of these people who are pissed about the US getting earlier release dates, then see this movie.  it doesn't come out in the US till next month.  but i have to say it's dubbed in Japanese with English subtitles, which i didn't mind.  i'm waiting for it to come out on DVD.

see you space cowboys!

Throw the paper out before I can even look at it will ya? Why I outta... Get a drink....

Bah, I had to vote this morning. Stupid thing.

Why yes I do happen to have thursday's Daily Telegraph. But any chance you wanted to enter the competition is out the window. You had to send in a reply of 15 words or less why you would be worthy of being one of the 70 contestants to the email address supplied. You only see the email if you bought the newspaper. Oh, and you only had 24 hours to apply. So, oh well. The people who made it would have been called already and sent the details.

Oh, and if you expected some kick-ass full page ad about the event, then well, sit back down and stop smiling, cause it took me a while to find it. It wasn't a full page, but it was kick ass; A big blue ad, with large, white, bold letters proclaiming "Calling all Game Boy (R) and Pokemon (TM) experts!" and it had four new Pokemon form Ruby and Sapphire adorning the sides of the ad.

Well, I don't have MSN, but I have ICQ, and even with the failed attempt to have a three-way chat session between Mario, PIAC and myself, well, I still don't think I want to get MSN. To clunky if you ask me.

why don't you guys download Trillian (www.trillian.cc)?  it's a great chatting program that combines MSN, IRC, AIM, ICQ and Yahoo in one.

here's my email (although not my main email):  king_kurtangle@hotmail.com

Heh, I made a bet with some guys that I'd buy the 'Wild West' showbag, wear the contents and go around pretending to rope things... Man, I've done crazy sh!t, but this has gotta top it. I don't know if I'll go through with it. I'll embaress the fu<k outta myself and them, and If I do indeed do this, I'll be $100 richer.

Is the series about Ruby and Sapphire?

I'll tape it tomorrow, and from now on.

I thought the new series of Pokemon started later this week...

About the cowboy thing, the $100 is a group bet. They all have more money than sense. Thing is, I have to go up to total strangers and attempt to rope them and yell cowboy related stuff at them "WEEEEE-DOGGGGYYY". That could end with broken bones... Plus there is now talk of someone bringing a camera (Maybe even a video camera), and that can result in my pics being blasted onto the Internet and people making flaming pictures from them =P

But since it's the Show, hopefull they'll think I'm some kind of retarded act.

"No Jimmy, stay away from that scary drunk cowboy clown thing!"

Anyway, I'm officially high at the moment, high on hype. This news of Sonic DX featuring the Master System/Game Gear Sonics has seriously blown me away.
In fact, I'm typing this from a tree!

.. If this were a cartoon, the branch would break off now.
I'm thirsty...

Yo, if it was me, then i'd do it, but for more money, i mean seriously this could scar you for life, or maybe not. But $100?! No way, id do it for at least $300. But its your call i spose... Anyways, i think Pokemon starts on the 28th, which is Friday... Anyone getting the SP on friday?
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Shift Key on March 23, 2003, 05:36:11 PM
Yeah, I'd do the cowboy thing for $100.

I saw an ad for the Game Boy SP at a bustop. It has a cockroach playing the SP, with the backlight on too. Pretty sweet!

And Metroid. Another silent Nintendo release coming up. But it's not out for a couple of weeks yet, I think.

and i haven't seen a metroid ad.  it is a gold mine

melbourne is a beautiful city to live.  it has been voted as the best city to live several times.  no joking.


BTW, no surprise that Sonic DX will have all the GameGear games.  seems like SonicTeam are determined to have every Sonic game made on the planet on GC (which makes Infernal Monkey happy i guess).  heck, Sonic Chaos and my GameGear still works after all these years...and maybe i should really get around to completing this game once and for all...

Damn. Pokemon IS starting on Friday.
I was so worked up.
I would have had something to watch in the mornings.
But at least there will be blitz of advertising from Matt and Jade about the Pokemon event, and other Nintendo related things. Hopefully.

And I think that it's good that Sonic Team are trying to release every Sonic game on Gamecube. They might be preparing us for a new Sonic speed fest! Time for E3 to be named again as the likely place of unveiling!

=O, how dare you, not completing Sonic Chaos! Oh, the sheer joy of that game, jumping on the strange pogo-stick thingies, and the bonus stages with their large rings and flying rocket boots, oh and the music, stunning for it's soundchip! Ohhh, ahhhhh! I diddly I, diddly I! Where me pot O' gold be?

*Continues ranting about Sonic and pots of gold for hours*

Heh, Melbourne is mad. I went there last Easter to visit my Cousin. THEY HAND OUT FREE BREAD TO ALL THE STREET BUMS! I was amazed! And you can get everywhere by tram! It rocks! Who needs a damn car now? Eh? EH?

*Sticks head over fence*
EH? Who needs one now little BeyBlade playing freaks! (My next door neighbours kids play BeyBlade at insane hours in the morning... 2 AM... 'LET IT RIP!')

I hope Sonic X turns out decent, the movie that came out about 2 years back was so... Horrible. They gave Knuckles a HAT. ;_;
But this series seems to have taken a more serious turn, and it seems this one is based in reality, not Planet Mobius, which means they've included a strange lookin' kid as a main character. He better not ruin it like the kid in Transformers did...

Anybody else seen the Pokemon Ruby/Saphire advert on TV yet? That advert officially gives me the creeps. So many scary people with animal fetishes! They all have over-happy (it's a new word okay?) looks on their faces whist holding them. Yikes!


WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I made a new drink today, I call it 'the crap-shake'
Here's what you'll need;

- Chocolate Milk
- Milo/Chocolate Nesquick
- Suger
- Some chocolate ice cream topping
- A banana

Chuck it all in a big glass. Make sure you have a HEAP of milo/nesquick and suger. Many table spoons.

I CAN SEE THE MUSIC.


EDIT:
Wow, it's amazing what stunning news you can dig up via the Internet. Stunning, to the max! *Thumbs up*

Woman's attempt to unblock toilet failed when hand got stuck

A young German woman trying to unblock her toilet by hand had to call out emergency services when her arm got stuck in the u-bend.

The toilet became blocked after the 24-year-old, from Nuremberg, had poured the remains of her dinner into it.

She told firemen who came to her rescue that all previous attempts to unblock it with a plunger and cleaning agents had failed and she had no other choice but to use her hand to remove the food.

But when she forced her arm too far down the toilet it got stuck.

Luckily for the woman her mobile telephone was lying nearby and she was able to call for help

I've seen the Ruby/Sapphire ad, as well as the bus ads for the GBA SP, which is right down the road from me!
those pokemon ads are unreal. people with super-happy faces whilst holding the pokemon by two fingers like they were bits of poo. And Pikachu looks like it's being hugged to death.

But if that get's sales up, then so be it.

Monkey, the drink you invented sounds like a killer sugar fix. I'll have to try it sometime.
Hmm, I'll have to start looking around for interesting mixed drinks with alcohol. And not those lolly drinks. Those are pathetic. Give me something which you can do yourself, and deliberately give yourself something too strong.
Any recommended ones, just e-mail it to me at zhifty_shifty@yahoo.com.au. Cheers.

Post by: Termin8Anakin on March 24, 2003, 11:27:41 PM
wow.
from innocent nintendo issues to mixing alcoholic drinks.
what else can we come up with?

Infernal: that drink sounds mighty tasty. But don't call it the crap-shake. Call it the 'mighty-high-on-sugar-shake'.
would normal milk work, or does it have to be chocolate milk? and why don't you add the milo AND nesquick? And while you're at it, put in strawberry and chocolate nesquick. And you're missing one ingreadient. Ice-cream. A shake is nothing with out ice-cream.

=O, you my friend, have turned this drink into a full-blown masterpiece!
And I spose you could use normal everyday milk, but I just happened to have a 2 L bottle of 'Breaka' chocolate milk in my fridge =)

OMFG Metroid Prime is already the BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED, the controls were really wierd at first, but that's a good thing, they are really innovative. I got to try the morph ball, its awesome. The graphics are f'ing AMAZING, everything has so much detail, and i LOVE the visor. OMG I cant wait until next thursday, Metroid Prime and Pokemon Sapphire will be MINE, MWAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHA! I saw someone playing Wind Waker too, just briefly though, i didnt want to spoil anything, but from the short ten seconds of it i saw, i can already say it the best looking game i have EVER seen!!!!!

I have... 6.1. Makes sense!

Just start a Euro section on it's own.
Even though it would be a good idea to start a PAL section since that's the format we all use, we are still much apart. At least Nintendo of Europe does a better job at marketing Gamecube than NIntendo of Australia. And thing is, the things we talk about are pretty much Aussie-related, like release dates, beach babes and stuff.

OMG, i saw it in teh shops today and i was like OMFG, the box looks tiny and the console just looks so damn sexy. And i also walked passed someone playing Metroid Prime, there was like heaps of people watching teh great visuals and i felt all fuzzy inside. ONLY ONE MORE WEEK PEOPLE!!

Oh yeah, and i missed Pokemon this morning I saw the last 2 minutes, i like the new theme song, very catchy, but can someone tell me what happened in the episode? I noticed Brock and Misty were in it at the end, and i also noticed Corsola, but what happened? And has Ash beaten the Johto Leage yet?

Ar, I too missed Pokemon. I was having a rather cool dream in its place, and it's not often that I remember my dreams, so it was indeed very cool (Too bad I can't uh, post details in this G rated forum ^_^)

And Mario, your thought pattens are indeed impressive, I never would have made the Prime connection! It makes sense! Since Nintendo chose to advertise Mario Sunshine during a big AFL event, bugger that I'm not much of a sporting type guy.

Weeeee, tomorrow!
*Thinks*

I'll be wearing white cargo pants and uh, some blue-ish type shirt with numbers. Exciting stuff, what with the numbers and all.
Ah well, back to cleaning my mouse ball..

*Drops on floor where it collects dog hair and bits of corn chip, explodes in a ball of flames*

Well, sh*t.

With my newfound freedom, I went to Burwood.
First place I went to was, of course, EB.
And my god, Zelda look so beautiful. The animation is so much smoother when you see it for real.
And, like Mario, I headed for Kmart.
I had goosebumps, I was shivering.
I was gonna play Zelda at last.
I went in, and saw that massive N64 controller (they have to change that - I'll take it if they don't mind).
I turned into the isle at last.

And gasped.

The Gamecube was turned off.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

No worries.
I headed down to Target.
Nooooooooooo!
They still had the old demo with SFA and SMS.

No worries.
I headed over to Grace Bros.
Nooooooooooo!
The had the old demo disc too!

No worries.
I headed to EB.
Nooooooooooo!
The don't have ademo pod!

So I just stood there dumbfounded and glittery eyed up at the TV, watching Link sail away in his magnificent boat.

Oh well.
Tomorrow hails a new day, and new opportunities. And the Pokemon Playoff.


And with Pokemon, it's just good to see something familiar on TV. I was getting sick of DBZ with their never-ending battles. What was that big fat pink thing? Maginpoo? It turns people into cookies then eats them. Eerrcgh!
Anyway, Ash and Misty sign up for the Pokemon Whirl-something competition. A league where you use only water pokemon. And after the usual Brock-meets-Joy thing and Team-Rocket-try-to-steal-the-pokemon thing, they leave the town and set off to compete in this league. Don't worry, I think there is still the normal Jhoto League. This is part of it, and extension of it, or just something they wanna do before going back to the Jhoto league.

Do I know too much than I should?
Yes.
Sorry.
It has been a long day, and I just wanted something other than Spongebob Squarepants in my mind.

I am writing this now with less than 12 hours till the event kicks off.
I'm gonna be tired.
I hope I can make it through 8 hours of goddy-goody Pokemon exposure.
Is that how long the event really is gonna be?

I think, that by this time tomorrow, we will be sleeping with Nintendo and pokemon thoughts in our heads.

Oh, and Daylight savings tomorrow! An extra hour of sleep! Hooray!


EDIT: Oh, I'll hold a 'PGC Meet here' Board up. 12 sounds a bit early, but i guess if that gives us time to introduce ourselves, and that's when the event starts, then yeah ok.

And remember. Tommorrow, no shame. We are followers of the almighty Miyamoto, who created the Mario world in 7 days (maybe longer). We will beat up any XBox/PS2 lovers who happen to be 'passing-by-to-see-what-is-going-on'. And take photos of their corpses. I will have two cameras.  A normal one, which has around 7 photos left (my sis wants to develop the film quickly), and a digital camera.

It was like, the best thing evah!
And they weren't lying when they said they were giving away thousands of dolllars worth of free stuff every hour (more like every half hour).
But Mario (DAMN YOU, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!) won one of five copies of Metroid Prime. The first in Australia! And you know what he had to do?

I'm not telling. Read my report.

Mario! Infernal Monkey! Don't tell them anything about the event until i post the report! Not even about all the things we won!

I don't want to spoil the good stuff!

I feel sorry for all you people in other states. Haha.

So wait until my report, and then we'll talk!

OMG. Im taking a short break from heaven (Metroid Prime) and letting my arms have a rest as i write up some impressions. These impressions are all over the place because im getting sleepy. I'll try to avoid spoilers, but be warned, some of what im about to write will contain spoilers... or maybe not i dunno... *shrugs shoulders*

The first say.... 30 minutes or so, are a battle between you and the controls, they are very hard to get used to, but luckily the first area of the game is sort of like a training level, and after the first area you should have mastered the controls easily, once you get used to the controls they are very easy to use and they are very innovative. Anyways, now for the graphics. They are UNBELEIVABLE! The special effects that happen inside the visor are extraordinary, when you go in water and come back out again, the visor is dripping with water for a few seconds and it looks incredible. When you walk past some steam, your visor fogs up and it looks amazing. The sheer detail in this game is simply unparralled, some of the rooms are so huge and have so many things to scan and so much detail it makes my head spin. The gameplay is where this game really shines though, the lock on system when fighting enemies is spot on, and fighting enemies couldnt be more fun. I wont ruin anything, but i will say this. The boss battles are AMAZING, and damn hard too, seriously, ive only versed about 5 or 6 bosses and i can already say Metroid Prime has the best bosses i have EVER fought in a videogame (yep, sorry OOT). Ever since i got home last night ive been playing Metroid Prime, taking very short breaks here and there, ive clocked about 9 hours on the timer and i didnt even notice. The game really is THAT good, in fact so far it exceeds Ocarina of Time (yep, sorry again OOT) and it's the best game i have ever played. Truly breathtaking, now im off to sleep. Now hurry up and get that story up Termin8Anakin...

Man, I am soooo disappointed in yesterday. I almost got Metroid Prime, but didn't. Then I almost got a Game Boy Advance SP, but didn't. Man!

Other than that, the day was great! Mario man, gimme ur address on ICQ. I come over or something, and play Metroid.








*and steal it from you*
Grrrrr!

And Star Fox Adventures is great, by the way. I'd say if Zelda on GBA is great, but then I don't have a GBA. Grrrrrrrr!

or ill swap you golden sun for metroid prime mario, hows that for a good deal? yeah thats a good deal yeah listen to piac, thats a great deal
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on March 29, 2003, 10:49:00 PM
Wow, a copy of Golden Sun for the ultra-hyped, unreleased Metroid Prime? It's a deal and a half!

Heh, Termin8, you know, since you actually own Zelda: LttP, you can legally go get the ROM now? But still, playing it on the computer is nothing compared to playing the real thing..

Btw, where's that report dammit? I wanna see us freaking the ever so odd Pikachu out with the hug of love =)

Weeee! I'm off to bed! (I also managed to score myself a cold, it would seem. Welp, another freebie to add to the list! ^_^)

so yeah, i'm jealous.  real jealous.  you folks were getting free stuff while i was at a Kathmandu sale (got a beanie half price which i look cute in!) and doing my lab report.  grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr  if i ever see you folks, run from me b/c i'll be carrying a shiny axe...real shiny...

Well, gimmie a chance to FINISH the game, then I'll think about the offer. It is worth it though. How about a hardly played copy of Super Monkey Ball 2 for the GBA? Interested? Talk to me on ICQ if you are.
I asked Mario if he would swap SMB2 for Metroid Prime. He said no. Why? SMB2 is a perfectly good game.
Haha.

Well, Rick said that there was every chance that they would pass on my report. Meaning that they might not post it for the world to see.
But I have sent the story already, at around noon today. And I sent the photos as well. There were 22 photos.
In the case that they don't post it, I'll have it up on my website. I will put it up on there anyway. Photos included. Tonight. So if you don't see it on PGC, go to my website, then click on 'My Two Cents'.

Well sorry. I forgot those minor details.
With Eternal Darkness, the rep told us to play the game at 3:33am. Cause some weird sh!t happens. If you can't be bothered to stay up this late, just set the clock to 3:30, then start playing until it happens. But if you want a genuine experience, just relly go and play it at 3:33am. I don't know what happens. But I'll try tonight. Ooooooh!

And I guess you hammered the rest there, Mario.

And screw you about Metroid! I could have won! Bugger you!
ARRRRRRRRRGH!
But this is a great time everyone!

AUSTRALIA, March 31, 2003 -Nintendo Australia have discovered a technical fault in some of their game discs. A few Gamecube owners reported their consoles to malfunction after playing some games for long periods of time. Our hardware technicians discovered the laser which reads game discs could get accidentally damaged when its own light was reflected off the back of a disc and back onto itself at the wrong angle.
Nintendo of Australia request all Gamecube owners stop playing the following games immediately;
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4
Medal of Honour: Frontline
Mario Party 4
Starfox Adventures

Details will be released in the next few days of where you can swap your games with fixed discs.


From Cube Australia

UH-OH! BETTER THROW YOUR COPY OF SFA OUT THE WINDOW TERMIN8! QUICK, MARIO! BURN THAT MARIO PARTY! BURN EM' ALL!

Uh-oh, what if Medal of Honor is also screwing up my PS2?! Aiiiiiieeee! *Stands on disc and does the Link dance*

Termin8, brilliant article. I wish I had come along. Apart from the 800km or so to drive to Sydney, I would have dropped everything. And the free stuff!!

Mario, well done on picking up Prime. I played the demo today and I have to say, "Wow, this game is absolutely amazing!" And now I am getting it on Thursday, when it comes out. The controls are definitely unusual, but I was getting the hang of it by the end of the 7 min demo.

And I have pre-ordered Zelda: WW too, because of the bonus disk offer. I have no self-control.

Yay, the holidays are coming up! Lots of time playing Metroid and getting back into Eternal Darkness!

Yo Shifty, where abouts do you live?
Victoria? Queensland? Rural NSW?
And thanks. I was so happy when they put it up.

And about throwing out SFA, I would never do it for a million bucks (or maybe I would, but that's not the point). The game does have a nasty habit of jumping, which gets annoying. Maybe the Nintendo Australia Joke is real after all?
Seriously though, I think SFA is a heaps mad game. The puzzles are not so hard like Zelda, and it feels just as good when you figure them out.

blast.  when i was really young, i had friends who had nintendo.  i remember playing the first zelda game on the NES with a friend and we tried to complete the game together.  we went as far to call nintendo hotline for help!  i never had the SNES, but another friend did, and we played mario kart all the time.  it was the best multiplayer game at the time.  ahh...these were the days.

but today, i don't have any friends who have nintendo.  they have PS2 and/or play on PCs (and i don't like online games).  *sobs*

Thanks man.
I didn't have time to take a photo of Infernal, cause I was too busy laughing my head off and cheering him on. It was funny as hell. There were these guys that had video cameras that got footage of him. I wonder if they've joined the forums yet? I told people that I was doing this for Planet Gamecube, and they've all heard of it. How cool is that?
I'm happy that al least Animal Crossing is coming out here, but i don't know if I'll buy it. Too busy trying to save up for Metroid Prime and Zelda.

Which reminds me:

METROID PRIME IS OUT TOMORROW! WAHHOOOOOO!

And geez, you'd better put a pic up of urself. you owe us at least that.
we put our lives at stake in revealing our identites (but then I've been doing that with my website for the last three years - you should have seen my website when it was first made. It wasn't Nintendo, Inc. back then. It was just the plain old angelfire url - weird when i look back on it).

Crap. I had a huge post, hit 'Reply to Thread' and bam, "Cannot find page"

Ah well, erm, yeah. I actually saw Metroid Prime today. In EB. This afternoon. In their cabnit behind the counter. Taunting me. The guy said they'd get in sh!t if they were to break the street date and start selling them today. Which is crap, because they were the ones to sell GTA: Vice City two days before it was meant to be sold... Bastards.

And I have to work tomorrow ;_;
It's Thursday, shops are open late-ish on Thursdays? Right?

... They better.

Oh yes, the following games are $19.95 in all Grace Bros/Myer/Mega Mart stores:

- Rocky
- Wreckless (Don't even think about it!)
- Mat Hoffman BMX 2
- Kelly Slater
- Xmen
- Minority Report

I was thinking of getting Xmen. But then turned around and saw the Sonic the Hedgehog movie on DVD for $22.99, and I've been hunting that movie down for nearly six months now. So, yeah.

How cool is that?
I'm happy that al least Animal Crossing is coming out here, but i don't know if I'll buy it. Too busy trying to save up for Metroid Prime and Zelda.

Which reminds me:

METROID PRIME IS OUT TOMORROW! WAHHOOOOOO!

And geez, you'd better put a pic up of urself. you owe us at least that.
we put our lives at stake in revealing our identites (but then I've been doing that with my website for the last three years - you should have seen my website when it was first made. It wasn't Nintendo, Inc. back then. It was just the plain old angelfire url - weird when i look back on it).


i figure that was why you couldn't get a pic of infernal monkey....i guess i can only imagine....

as for metroid prime, i think i'll give the game a rent first (what?  are you crazy?)  no.  i just get this feeling that i may not like it.  you know, sometimes you get this feeling that you are really going to like a game (like i did with monkey ball)....well, i don't feel the same way with metroid prime.

as for a pic of me, see below (i thought it was a pretty detailed picture!)

Wow. Not only did they put the feature up, they made it 'front page' material! hahahaha! My mug is there for the whole world to see when people go to PGC! Hahahahahaha!

Sorry.

Yeah. If I had Metroid, I wouldn't be on these forums either.
I played it and it does take a while to get used to. And I do miss having an 'on the fly' strafe and look up-down thing with the c-stick.
SO I'll get it after I get Zelda and a GBA SP for my Zelda: ALink to the Past/Four Swords that is begging for some lovin.

And thanks, AiAi, but I think your pic in SMB2 is detailed enough.
We'll leave it at that.

Oh yeah, I went to IGNCube before I came here, and they had that story where Miyamoto-san is leaving NIntendo and going to Sega, and Naka-san is leaving Sega and going to NIntendo.

I shat myself. WHAAA...?

Then they said it was an April Fools Day joke. MY heart stopped beating. But hang on, it's the SECOND of April isn't it, and they can't make jokes now, but then I realised that America is a day behind us.

haha.

*Makes train noises for some reason*

Wooo, I only had short working day.
I GOT METROID PRIME

Yay, only paid $89.95 too. Went to EB and price matched Target's $89.95. My local Target hates the GameCube, so it wasn't even there. In fact, the last new game they got in for GC was Eternal Darkness.

Ah well, Metroid is great. The controls are really annoying in the heat of battle, though. But I guess like any game, gotta get used to it. I just wish they would have used the C-Stick for a free look or something, I hate holding in the slushy R button all the time.

Graphics are bloody amazing, I spent a good ten minutes just looking into the rain, watching the drops hit my visor. Then I played around in the water like a moron for a while. Mmmm, the attention to detail is stunning.
And listening to the remixed version of the classic Metroid theme sure made me smile. Mmm, remix.

And when I went to EB, the staff were crowded around one of the hanging TV's, one with a Wave Bird in his hand, all looking on at Metroid in awe. A few punk-ass casual gamers were glancing up too, I overheard one of them saying it was a demo of Halo 2 on Xbox. Oh dear. Restraining one's tounge is a hard thing to do....
I so felt like giving him the verbal bashing he deserved.

Yep, and I got the second last copy too, so word must be getting round that it's a good game. Just wish the bloody adverts would start up!

Anyway, I'm wasting precious Metroid time at the moment =)

termin8, nice article man. i felt kinda dumb after i read it because i really should have gone. i had no idea they were going to be giving away all those bits and pieces.

anyway, is anyone in sydney interested in having a gamecube comp? we could get like, 20 people or so, and have some epic smash bros tournaments or something. you could even put money and whoever won would walk away with enough money to buy themself a game or something. i dunno.... i guess people wouldnt feel very comfortable having a bunch of perfect strangers, not to mention gamecube fanatics in their home. but, still, its an idea.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion

hey! i would be up for that, everyone knows you can allways depend on the kindess of strangers, too bad i dont live in sydney =\ (currse you brisbane, cuuuuurse yoooou) that would be a top idea, have like all the sydney PGCers + a few cube friends each, vwala! instant compatiton, just like rent out a hall for a weekend or something, everyone bring a beanbag, and organise enough TV's/cubes etc. everyone chip in say 15-20 dollars for 1) hall rental 2) possible prizes 3) food/drinks, BAMM would be great.

damn it, now im depressed i want to go
ohwell got pokemon ruby and metroid prime verrry soon (come on mum, speed home, i want my games!!)

Post by: Termin8Anakin on April 02, 2003, 08:34:12 PM
great idea joeyjojo.
btw, where abouts in sydney do you live?

You know, I actually asked the NIntendo Rep would they be willing to make an official Super Smash Bros Melee tournament, similar to the Pokemon Playoff. He said that Nintendo of Australia were always open for suggestions (Hmmmmm!!!). So yeah. there you go.

And you know, we wouldn't be a bunch of strangers. We have known each other for a while on these forums, so it wouldn't be totally uncomforting. Just that we need to recognise each other.

True story:
This morning, i had the weirdest dream.  i dreamed of being in the video games section in a store and hurried to the Gamecube kiosk to try out Metroid Prime.  A little kid got there at the same time and we argued who got there first till i took the controller.  just when i started the demo....i was woken up!  talk about timing!  the fact i had the dream on the day Metoid Prime comes out is pure coincidence.  Is the game trying to tell me something?  (and i'm not making this dream up.  it's true!)


Another true, but sad story:
Yesterday when i walked to the gym, i saw three small cars with an advertisement trailer attached, one behind the other parked.  i looked to see what the ad was and saw the DOA:XV logo on the back.  the side had, not a picture of one of the girls, but in fact a close up cleavage shot, the kind that would excite junior highschool boys.  "Oh dear," i thought and wondered what it was doing in my turf.  anyone else seen them around?

another thing, do any of you chat on icq, cause i would really like to be able to discuss games with other aussies. unfortunately, all of my best mates own ps2's so i have sh*t all to talk to them about. especially since they are hardly as keen on games as i am.

Termin8: I'm from Adelaide. Yeah, I've heard all the jokes about it, but it ain't that bad. Pity I'm the only Cubist around here. The guys at my local EB know me on a first-name basis. All my mates have XBOXs or PS2s, so I hear a fair bit about Halo and that.

I got Metroid today. And I've played it for 3 hours straight. I didn't really get that far, but I don't mind. I have to keep telling myself to stop wandering through the levels and move along. It's that jaw-dropping good. I can't wait to show it off to my mates. Just to rub it in more.

Forget Halo. I've played both, and Metroid looks way better. Sure the controls are different, but its the only way to play a Metroid game.

As before, I don't have ICQ, but I'm on MSN from time to time. Have a look back through this thread for my e-mail.

Oooooh, ahhhhh.

Anybody watch 'Charmed' on Channel 10 last night? About 7:50, a Metroid advert was on.

It's so sad.
It was chopped HEAPS, running for about 10 seconds. It showed Samus running into the space station, then showed some HORRIBLE in-game footage (Somehow, it's been made out to look about as good as a N64 game in low-res)

Came up with various comments like "5/5" - GamePro, "Best game" - IGN

Then came up with the Metroid Prime Pak, showing the box and stuff. Didn't mention you get a funky name plate in the box or anything...

Then we got the nice spinning GameCube logo.

Oh dear.

Ah well, back to Prime!

It has quotes like "AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE" "5 out of 5" "The best game yet", and the ad looks really cool. Well i thought it was cool. Anyway, got Pokemon Sapphire on thursday and im AMAZED! IT'S LIKE.... THE SECOND BEST GAME EVER, Metroid Prime is of course the best, yep. I finished Metroid Prime and its INCREDIBLE!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, its a great time to be an aussie gamer!

Yeah, it's a cool advert, but I was just a tad pissed that it's been chopped down to around the 10 second mark whilst in prime time. The full 20-30 second advert needs to be shown at prime time, not when 'The Truman Show' is almost over!

Oh yeah, I am so smart, s-m-r-t!
You know the bunch of $19.95 games at Grace Bros.? I plan on getting them! Yup; Wreckless, Xmen, Mat Hoffman, Minority Report and Rocky. It'll be just under $100 all up.

I don't plan on keeping them though, I'll take them out of their shrink-wrap, go to 'High Tech World' in Blacktown (Sorta like an EB, but crap)
Because I noticed all those games are still selling for $100 each there. I'll go in, throw the games at their faces, and I'll be sure to get around $30-35 each. In store credit. I'll then get RE:0 and... *Shrugs shoulders*

And if they go "Nuh, 4 cents each mate!"

I'll go "WOW 4 CENTS I CAN GET A MCDONALDS ICE CREAM CONE! OMGWTF"

... Or just play them =P

Ah yes, and before I go off to play Metroid, I saw the BEST thing today.
Microsoft were holding an Xbox play-off in Westpoint this morning! Gee, wonder where they got the idea? =)

Anyway, they had to share the centre stage with a KIDS SHOW. A bunch of people singing Hi-5 type songs and such, everybody was too embarressed to go up on stage and play the Xbox's!

They only had one game to play anyway, bloody V8 Supercars. They had 4 boxes linked up, winners would get key-chains and rubbish. But the control pads were left idle. The Microsoft reps were just standing around, watching the kids show and had nice big sad faces. It was hilarious stuff. The kids show was getting all the attention ^_^

EDIT:
PIAC! It's easy!
Go buy 708 power extension cords for you GameCube, plus a few million extension cords for ye controller. Throw Metroid in (Throwing is all part of the plan)
Then go to a kebab shop, whilst attempting to play Metroid. Order your food, and pull out your GBA with your other hand, and try to play Pokemon. Get your food, hold it in your mouth, get a robot to pay. Because you have no arms left.
Roll back home in your Morph Ball, or your PIAC mobile will do.

Come back to find the GameCube on fire and little goblins dancing on the roof.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

Does anyone here have it?
I gotta ask something.

***SPOILERS***








I'm about to get my second Krazoa Spirit, and the test is 'The Test of Fear'.
Is there an easier way to pass it? My God, It is the most heart-poundingly tense part of the game I have played so far - very well done, I like how the Raptors sneak about behind the pillars and all, but it's just VERY frustrating. So, in other words, HELP?



***END SPOILERS***

Oh, and the Metroid commercial kicks ass. It does look grainy and all, but I think the game reviews at the end of it speak for themselves. Hopefully it's been a total kick ass success here.

Yeah, the Metroid ad was good. "In the darkness, only one thing lives: evil." I love that quote. I saw it twice in the Simpsons Hour on Friday night while 'studying.'

Haven't got that far into Metroid Prime - just got the Super Missiles power-up. I remember somewhere they mentioned the ragdoll physics of the Space Pirates when they are shot were realistic, and those flying pirates are damn realistic, especially when they crash and die. Awesome stuff.

Holidays! Five more days. But I have exams in between so Metroid will have to wait. My little bro is playing it for me, getting into Metroid. He has no idea about half of it, but he's still loving it.

*makes cameo appearance*

reading you guys crap on about Metroid Prime makes me jealos.
My local Harvey Norman is so fuking stupid. Before launch when I ask them if they are ordering any copies in the bloke is like, "No, we've had trouble selling GCN software (please note: their software range is pretty much EA Sport titles, Tony hawk and crap like Simpsons Road rage, no wonder it isn't selling) but we can order ina copy for you if you like. The guy gets on the computer and orders exactly ONE copy of the game. He gets my phone number but doesn't ask me if i'ld like to make a deposit because he figures Im the only person in town who wants the game.
You can pretty much guess what happens after this.
But because I can only make it into town on weekends (damn slow school bus) I went in on saturday and found the shelf empty, "mabye they havent got the game in yet", I thought, "NAL has fucked them around before" I thought. (Note: their SMS copies were a month late) I turn to see a life size cardboard cutout of Samus on my left. "Hmmm" I think. I ask the bloke about it (different person from the guy who ordered it) He didn't even know what I was talking about. I force him over to his computer and he says that they ordered a copy and it was sold out.
Thats right, They sold out of Metroid Prime instantly, because they have no fuking idea about who buys games in Busselton. They did have some other new GCN games in stock, namely Zapper, the Amazing Cricket (yes that's it's fuking name) which wil probably sit there until the end of time.
More proof that they know nothing: They order about 20 copies of DOA XBV for xbox. The local newsagent sold a record low nummber of copies of the last issue of hyper because it had that crappy game on the cover and people were embarrased to buy it (I boycotted the issue).
They have about 30 untouched copies of Tony 4 for PS2 and 7 Tony 3 for cube.
They ordered copies of Zapper the amazing Cricket for pc PS2 and xbox as well as their cube copy.
Somebody please shoot them.

So yeah I dont have prime yet.

Wow, that sucks RABicle. Hardly Normal are never good anywhere for GameCube games though, I think Jerry Harvey likes to piss on GC's in his mansion.

If you've got access to a credit card, I suggest you check here;
Top Shop

Metroid Prime for $94.45, free shipping. Only problem is that.. Uh, they're currently out of stock. But give them a few days...
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on April 06, 2003, 03:44:26 PM
Man, that DOES suck.
I wouldn't be able to live if I didn't have access to any decent stores for GC games.

I remember though that Harvey Norman has a bribery deal with M$, so I guess GC would be dead there.
Is there any other places you can go to get games RABicle? Surely there's a Big W, Target of Kmart near you.

And DOAXBV (what an acronym!) is THE biggest sex ad I have ever seen. No wonder there are no ads for it on TV. And though there IS a big interest in it (for the more obvious reason), I wouldn't be caught DEAD buying cosmetics and fashion items (except if it were with my girlfriend or something). But because the physics are so real, and the graphics are so good, it was ensured a place on gamers shelves.

And whats this? There is a CRICKET game on the GC? Where? I've never seen it. I've heard of Zapper though.

And hey, in the latest issue of CUBE (#7), it says that in Soul Calibur II, not only is Link in the game, but WIND WAKER LINK and GANNONDORF are in it too! Is this true? I have a hard time believing in CUBE, since the news is two months behind (but the reviews are current), so tell me please. True? Or False?
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: RABicle on April 06, 2003, 03:50:20 PM
There is a Target Country, who are clothes only and there is a Big W but it's in the nearby city of Bunbury, half an hours drive away. WHich isn't something I can do ona  semi regular basis to buy games. I'll try and persist wityh my Harvey Norman, forcing them to order me copies of good games (ie. Metroid, Zelda, Skies of Arcadia, Harvest Moon etc.)

And the game is called Zapper the amazing Cricket. it's a cricket (you know the insect) named zapper, and he's suppposeadly amazing or something.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: joeyjojo on April 06, 2003, 04:33:52 PM
yeah. what IS up with Harvery Norman? They never have a game on its release, or anywhere near its release for that matter. I usually go to EB but Ive recently discovered Toys r Us is tha BOMB! i got metroid the day after it came out. it had sold out at EB, but alot of people overlook toys r us who seem to always have the goods on time aswell...
  So you got starfox termin8 ayyyy? i dont think theres anyway i could help you with that bit, but dont you think it sucks that you have to keep your eye on the little meter while all of the action is going on? and DAMN, its some pretty action too.
  personally i wasnt a big fan of SFA. there was just something missing, like difficulty. or maybe "that loving feeling".
 
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Shift Key on April 06, 2003, 10:45:33 PM
Yeah, DOAXBV is just a game sold on sex appeal. One of my mates was given it by his girlfriend following a fight. That would be the only way I'd accept it.

As for Harvey Norman, they sell whatever is thrown at them, especially when they deal with Microsoft or Sony. I guess I'm lucky because I have two places nearby (I work at a Big W, just near EB) so I can get games with discount, or pricematch with EB.

As for that WW Zelda and Ganondorf rumour, I haven't heard it elsewhere. I don't believe it. I think it would have surfaced by now in Japan if it were true.

I had my sister try to play that part once, and I saw what was going on. Pretty pretty. At first I thought you had to mash A as fast as you can (like with the second test of the LightFoot tribe).

Actually I would be seriously worried if my girlfriend gave me DOA:XBV I imagine the message would be "I'm not giving you anything more, use this instead"

Hey just wondering, have you guys bought the Hottest 100 Volume 10 yet? It's fantastic. Theres only one bad track on the two disks, but great songs like 6.66 by Salmon Hater make up for it.

Heh, I take it you finally gave that rolling rock boss of doom the thrashing he (or it maybe?) deserved PIAC? =)

Oh well, spent a bit of time with the 5 $20 games yesterday. Let's break it down! Wikky wikky waa.

Rocky:
Actually a really good game. Not serious like Knockout Kings (KOK, ha ha), and not 100% comical arcade fun like Ready to Rumble. It sits nicely in between. Fun combos, the ability to bash up Sly, nice graphics. Good all round fun.

Mat Hoffman BMX 2:
No no and no. Objectives are WAY too annoying. Controls are crap, which makes doing tricks about as fun as getting f*cked in the left eye. Music is average (too much R&B for my liking), graphics are good. But the gameplay is bad. Stick to Dave Mirra if you like extreme uh, biking.

Kelly Slater Pro Surfer:
... Stick to California Games. You know that surfing game in that? Where you got eaten by sharks and somehow got killed by fat woman in tubes? 400 times better than Kelly Slater. It's a whore with the memory card, too.

X-Men:
Really clumsy fighter. Controls are very very annoying (Partly thanks to the GC pad), responses are slow as. Combos require you to shatter the control pad in many bits with you Ice Beam, graphics are laughable, sound is piss weak, characters don't even resemble their on-screen conterparts. Story is crap, and FMV is stupid. TRADE IN!

Wreckless:
I'm going to keep this baby. Alot better than I expected. ALOT BETTER. I don't know what GameSpot was smoking when they reviewed the GC version, they kept going on about slow frame rates and such. Yeah, 60 FPS isn't good now? Bah, smooth as a baby's left butt cheek. Graphics have been seriously striped down from the Xbox version, but the Xbox version ran at 20-30 FPS. Frame rate all the way!
If you enjoyed the likes of Crazy Taxi or 18 Wheeler, this will be the best $20 you'll spend in a while.
Great big dumb fun. Plus you can run over people in the GC version. OMG ItS teH GTA!!1

After 3 days, I have finally passed the Test of Fear in Star Fox Adventures!

And it really WAS the test of fear! You go through the whole thing staring at a meter on the top of the screen and try not to look at the VERY COOL action going on around Fox McCloud. My heart was pounding all the time.

It was tense as.

And my friend got Metroid Prime! BUgger Him! I thought he sold his Gamecube, then he rings me up and tells me he got it and has been skipping work (at Maccas) since last thursday. Bugger you JB!

LOL....that was funny...it has been a long long time since i played california games.

anyway, i played Metroid Prime at the GC kiosk over the weekend.  not too bad.  the controls are not that bad as people say.  didn't take long to get used to it.  i only got to play for 5 minutes, since there were people around me watching (funny, at first there were no one).  and i refuse to play zelda.  i don't want to spoil the game.

Well, whether I play Zelda or not doesn't really matter now, since the controller at Big W Chullora Marketplace is stuffed. So I can't play it either way. It sh*t funny to see some little kid play it, and scream, out in frustration cause he can't play. I have to reassure the kid though that Nintendo didn't do this, and that this ain't the way Gamecube is.

Nintendo should make the demo pods so that if you choose to play on controller 2 then you can. Cause the second one hasn't even been damaged.

I'm yet to see a store in Blacktown that has the new demo disc running. EB has finally switched from Rogue Leader to... Sonic Mega Collection. Yeah, way to show the consumers the POWER OF GC!

I did have a heated battle with a little dude at Mario Party 4 today, on the old demo disc at Kmart. Man, he was good at the button bashing Thwomp (sp?) test thing. It was like he was having a fit.

We drew in a crowd too, mostly due to my swearing, which went over well with the kid's mum. *Gulp*

Yeah, plus maybe some of the crowd will be drawn to GC now, due to my reaction whilst playing a 'kiddie' game.

"Dude, angry people play this machine! Angry people rock, lets get down with this Mario Party 4 thing, maybe we'll take our angst out on it! GLERG, BLAR, HULK SMASH!"

I was at Funland Games today, and I saw a kid plying Medal of Honor Frontline. The beach level.

I can't believe how real that was. Bombs and bullets were flyig everywhere, and when you jump out of the landing ship and go underwater, you can see people dying underwater.
It was Saving Private Ryan all over again.

Really impressive, I must say. And congrats to EA.

One other thing to note, though, was that the kid was asking me why he couldn't kill the people (referring to your allies). He would walk up to them and shoot heir helmets off and stuff, and start yelling how crap this game was cause he couldn't kill people. I told him to look in those towers, and he said he couldn't be bothered to. He just wanted to kill everyone.

Ahh...the innocense of children.

Post by: Infernal Monkey on April 09, 2003, 02:46:12 AM
Ahh yes, MOH: Frontline is a fantastic game. It just gets better and better the further you get into it. The soundtrack left me in awe, too. Great, great stuff. If only I had one of them Mini-Disc doo-wabs, I'd hook it up via the port on my PS2 and record it. Then I'd be set. Set for LIFE!

The GameCube version has some kind of multi-player mode, does it not? That'd be interesting, deathmatching with those weapons. One of your guns only holds one bullet, takes alot of time to reload too. Think of the excitement, as the two players struggle to reload their ancient gun =)

I loved the Space Pirate fortress. That was the best part of the game so far.
And I am getting seriously annoyed by the Chozo ghosts who keep appearing. Three at once is very very annoying!

Yo Termin8Anakin, Starfox Adventures gets incredibly awesome around the last 5% of the game, its brilliant! I think it has the best ending ive ever seen in a game, just keep on playing. Anyway, Metroid Prime seems to be getting advertised alot lately, during the simpsons yesterday i saw like 5 ads. And today at school, everyone was talking about it and i know at least 3 people who are getting a Cube because of Metroid Prime! Yay, school holidays have started!

You guessed it, its........  Pokemon Ruby! Sapphire is number two (damn you PIAC) and number three is..... METROID PRIME! Nintendo Gamecube has finally returned to the charts *jumps up and down like a sissy* weeeeeeeee, Nintendo Australia are back in full force!

*Shakes fist real hard at computer*

Damn this thing, why must it have a cry over Nintendo Australia's website? Why that site?

HULK SMASH!

And GREAT to see Nintendo scored the top three slots in the multi-format chart. Man, it's been ages since I've seen a GC title in the top ten... Maybe Nintendo will finally get it, advertising on TV does help!

Expect to see Pokemon there for quite a while...
And why is Vice City STILL in the top ten? It's a good game, yes, but c'mon. Are people just forming from rocks every three seconds and buying a few copies of it every 12.7 seconds or something?
Maybe their leader the basketball Queen v.2.1 X needs Vice City discs to make a crown, a crown which, when activated, will produce hot dogs and bacon bits?

That's my explaination.

IIEEEEE!!!

I was just lurking around the Hyper Active boards, and it would seem my local Harvey Norman is doing a 50% off GameCube game thing! The dude got Pikmin for a mere $25!

GAH! NO MONEY IN WALLET! *Cries*
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on April 10, 2003, 12:28:13 AM
What?
Then they were selling Pikmin for $50?

The only thing I see is that they are getting rid of stock.
But serious?
Is it at all Harvey Norman Stores?
I will definitely have a look!

I got a day off tomorrow! Yee-haw!
And me seeing Shanghai Knights and Johny English tomorrow!
Yee-haw!  
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on April 10, 2003, 01:45:53 AM
Actually, Pikmin's been $50 at quite a few places for the past few days. The 'Players Choice' thing kicked in early, it would seem.

I'm betting they'll have crap all when I get there tomorrow, but I'd very much like to find a copy of Luigi's Mansion, that should be $24.95

I have a sudden urge to play it. As well as have some 2 minute noodles. Man, we better have some. *Shakes fist*

*Shakes noodles until they spill all over the floor*

Bah, went to Harvey Norman upon opening this morning. Just to have a look around, only have like... $23 =P
Anyway, it was rubbish.

They had a cabnit near the front desk with a big printed out GameCube logo and "50% off ALL GAMECUBE SOFTWARE!"

I trail my eyes down to the 'selection'. Boy did I get excited to see the likes of:

- Driven
- Crazy Taxi
- Dark Summit
- 18 Wheeler
- Tarzan
- Worms Blast
- Lost Kingdoms
- Donald Duck
- Dave Mirra 2

That was all that was left. They were all $69.95 (Making them about $35 after the 50% off)

What pissed me off though, is that after almost crying at the selection, I headed over to the actual game section.

GameCube = Dead

The section where it used to be was replaced with an Xbox demo unit, and an expanded Xbox games section. They had one RF unit for GameCube on the floor...

Tis a sad day, I guess.

No, wait. It's not. Harvey Norman is out of the way for me. I don't shop there!

MWA HA HA HA!

Hey PIAC, that's a cool Nintendo room.

Is that an axe i see below the TV? What the...?
And go NOFX! Go hard!

I'm hardly ever in my room at the moment. Apart from sleeping(if i make it home ) And playing Prime.
That reminds me...*runs back to Metroid*

My room is quite devoid of Nintendo stuff. Apart from the Cube. I'm looking at getting a computer for my own use, but I don't really have room for it. Heh, I'll just make some room.

Have you seen the Samus cardboard cutouts around? I'm gonna try and claim one from work. The guys in EB said Nintendo wanted them back so I don't really like my odds, but I'll try anyway.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on April 11, 2003, 09:38:53 PM
yes i would give my left nut for one of those, when i first saw one i did a big austin powers "PAHHHHHHHHHHH" (the gasp thing he does when he sees someone hot) i wanted to claim it but they wouldn't let me =\ and the harvey norman i went today said they actually have a contract with the nintendo guys, they come in put up new posters and take the old ones . so now i have a quest! to track down where ever nintendo's regional office is around brisbane, and... whine like a 3 year old for some stuff . i was so tempted to steal the super mario advance 3 over sized novelty box from harvey norman today... would have been so easy..

oh, heheh you saw my axe, its to defend my nintendo stuff and to cut cockroaches in half (im not a bad axeman >=))
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion

Just flog one of the Samus stands =)
I'll... Just.. Be.. Taking.. This.. Now.

*Yoink*

And your room is mad PIAC. The axe finishes it off nicely.
"NO, YOU'RE NOT CHANGING THE CHANNEL!"

*Chop*

Man, I can't believe this, but I have no motivation in completing Metroid Prime at all now. I'm up to a certain flying boss near the end, right... After dying on him 4 times, I finally destroy him, I get the FMV showing his cool death, and BAM. Black screen. No loading. No nothing.

THAT BOSS WAS A BITCH TO BEAT!
I don't feel like fighting that cheating sh*t again!

Oh yeah, I'm home alone for two weeks! TWO WEEKS! YEAH!
The old folks went away on holidays. I didn't wanna go, so they gave me $200 for food supplies, also bought some of those frozen dinners (I think they're trying to tell me something here)..

My cooking isn't that bad! Honest!
This fire in the kitchen? No... It's... Toast.

Infernal Monkey you lucky bastard, have fun playing on the big tv. You should invite some people around and have like a game party or something... like with SSBM, timesplitters 2, and erm... other games *shrugs shoulders* But dont play Eternal Darkness whatever you do, you'll be so scared you wont be able to move for two weeks, what with all the stereo sound and big tv and all. Once i hooked up ED to the big screen with surround sound and that was the first time i experienced the bathroom scene, i was like *SPOILERS* hey look, theres a bath tub, i wondered if there was anything in it, i approached it and pressed b..... then like.... I GOT THE SH!T SCARED OUTTA ME! I swear i nearly had a heart attack, i couldnt sleep for a week. But it wasnt just that part that was scary, overall the game is just creepy, the sounds, the monsters, like after i finished it, everywhere i went i kept looking behind me all the time, you guys know what im talking about?

I cant believe Metroid Prime crashed on you. I just finished it for the second time and i havent had any hiccups... And yeah, it feels good seeing all those Metroid Prime commercials, i see like 5 every day It sold 4000 copies in its first week btw, which is ok, but Pokemon sold 17000 But i think Metroid will have good staying power, and obviously Pokemon too. Anyway, i got a SP today!!!!!!! WEEEEEE, its like the.... second best thing evah! Metroid Prime of course being the best The light is awesome, i love it!

Super Smash Bros Melee
Mario Party 4 (its fun with 4 people trust me)
Timesplitters 2
Nightfire
Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2
Sega Soccer Slam
Wave Race
Burnout 1, 2
Tony Hawk 3, 4
SSX tricky
NBA street, Courtside, whatever
Beach Spikers (awesome multiplayer)
Rocky
Medal of Honor
Sonic adventure 2: Battle
Bomberman Generations
Bloody Roar: Primal Fury
Cel Damage
Capcom vs SNK 2: EO
Dave Mirra BMX (lol, just kidding)
Fifa 2003
God: DAMM
Madden 2003
XG3
Mortal Kombat: DA
Need for Speed Hot pursuit 2
NHL 2002
Sonic Mega Collection
Star Wars Jedi Knight 2
The Simpsons Road Rage (i have this game on ps2, its pretty fun)
Ghost Recon
Worms Blast.....
erm.. im all out... we could play N64 as well! Goldeneye, Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Perfect Dark, Mario Tennis, Golf etc. never get boring! So when are we doing this Infernal?

EDIT: We could play GBA! I have two GBA's now that i got an SP. We could play four swords, Mario kart (you only need one game pak), and other stuff... *shrugs shoulders*

Well, I could drive up to brisbane or down to melbourne, but then I can only drive one of you guys here, so you'll have to fight for the place in my car amongst yourselves. Haha.

And AiAi, I have A Link To The Past, but I have no GBA to play it on!
My dilemma worsens everyday.

I have a mighty 83cm TV, not flatscreen, but my Gamecube is hooked up to a great sound system.
I'll put a couple of pics up of my living room where my Gamecube lives. Oh, and I'll have a couple of my room to, though it will be NOTHING like PIACS room.

The closest thing I have to PIACS axes are the weapons I use for Kobudo (i think thats how you spell it). I have a pair of Sais (the three prong things that Elektra uses in Dardevil), a pair of tob-somthings (wooden things that look likt eh batons police use), and the stick thing that Donatello uses in Ninja Turtles, or more recently, Neo in Matrix Reloaded.

Haha, I like how this was organized =)

Yeah, you can all come over. It'd be fun-tastic (it's a word dammit!) I must warn you though, when I said big TV, I didn't mean it's a huge mutha, in fact, it's only 51 cm. I call it big because it's bigger than the one in my room =P

And my house is piss small, but yeah, we can still cause chaos in a multi-player frenzy.

*Looks over at $200* ... That's... Many pizzas! I've got plenty of crap around here if we somehow get bored of GameCube. Hmm, there's PS2, with all it's.. Uh... Two.. Player.. Fun. Saturn, Mega Drive, Master System, NES... I've got an N64 and a few games, both control pads are in terrible condition though..

Well, crap. My dog is nudging his food bowl. Damn fat thing, do dogs like Conflakes? They better.

Anyway, you can all organize a day, any day except Wednesday, because that's when I'll be acting like a dildo at the show =)

Oh, BTW, Wario Ware (Well, it was called Made in Wario) is fantastic. Got the chance to play that gem at a mates house last week via, emulator that is. It's got a whole stage set around the original GameBoy. It has Zelda, Gun Smoke, Duck Hunt, F-Zero and even Metroid mini-games! They all look like the NES version.
The Zelda one is cool, 5 seconds to avoid enemies and get to the door. Yay.

They also make fun of themselves in it. On the GameBoy, instead of "Dot Matrix with Stereo" it has "Do not Matrix with the Stereo"

You know AiAi, Dennis Dyack said in that interview with PGC recently that he thought the green path was hardest.
I think he's wrong.
Red is by far the hardest. Man, how long does it take to kill those red zombies?!
You chop off their head, their two arms, and they're still walking around. You have to slash them like another 10 times in the torso before they go down. Then theres the whole thing where they regrow their limbs! Arrgh!

I'm up to Roberto Bianchi at the moment. The guy moves like a sloth raised by snails. And with those red zombies, you have no chance.

And hey Infernal, since all the kids are on school holidays at the moment, how about this friday night as a possibility?
We'll bring spare consoles and everything, cause, like N64 Gamer says, waiting between sessions is boring. Oh wait, there's only gonna be four of us, anyway. OK then, everythings cool.
Infernal Monkey, Termin8Anakin, Mario and Joeyjojo - the biggest multiplayer night evah!

Yup, Friday sounds good.

How's everybody gettin' here? I need to give out my mystical address soon-ish.

Anybody got any decent N64 controllers? I just found my third party one, it's the only one that's not loose as a $2 whore. My two official ones are ready for the bin =(

And GoldenEye is sitting there, mocking me!

I could drive there.
And pick up Mario and Joeyjojo.

I have two good N64 controllers. I'll bring 'em. The only two I have.

just email ur address to me, so everyone here doesn't see it and raid ur house or something.
amidalalover@hotmail.com
I need to see how I can get there anyway.
And if Mario and Joeyjojo want me to pick them up, they'll need to give me their addresses as well.
Haha.

OK everyone, keep Friday night to Saturday morning free.
We will have the best mulitplayer night this side of N64 Gamer!

I'll bring my sister's Pikachu (we need a mascot after all - N64 Gamer rules), unless someone else has something better.
This needs to be planned with careful precision, since Infernal, you live all the way out in Blacktown.

And would you look at that!
It's my 400th post!

i found out that red was the hardest path from the offical ED thread (after i chose it).  when i complete that, i think i'll give the blue path a go (it's the easiest, right?).  i'm getting a feeling maybe the reason i don't like the game as much as others did was b/c i chose the red path first and was getting piss off of having to keep chopping the zombies limbs off.  and yeah, it got hard in places.


i'm not too happy that i'm going to miss the best nintendo multiplayer nite in Sydney....but this wednesday nite will be a monkey ball nite for me and my friends. (guess you saw that coming!)

Ah well, Mario can't make it Friday. Any other day before next... Wednesday is fine with me. I have work Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night next week ;_;

AiAi! Quick, rent out monkey suits! It'll complete the night! Then cause mayhem in your neighborhood, by running around in the monkey suits, making monkey noises, and being general monkeys. Quick, get the stereo out and play it full blast!

Well I just had a "I Can't Believe it's not a Gamecube night!" last night.
From about 10 until 4.30am when i crashed, we played Metroid Prime, Super Smash Bros and Burnout. Considering my friends haven't played much of these games, it was much owning for me.
Highlight of the night: 3 vs 1 Team Match in the Fountain Level of Smash Bros. Me versus three mates. It came down to sudden death. My element. I was Pikachu (the only time in the night that I was the yellow furball). Three people around me.
Thunderbolt. There goes Kirby.
Thunder Jolt. Bye Roy.
Side Kick. Seeya Samus.
Blink and you'd miss it. It was over that quick. And I won. And i ran to avoid a beating

I look forward to the next one. I can't believe we played those games for so long. Eh, who cares? Back to Metroid.


**********SPOILER*****************



Just beated the Omega Pirate. Man I hate his guts. Took me a good six tries because he kept on backhanding me. Damn big ugly guy. And is it just me or is the Phazon Suit totally cool. And now I have to backtrack for abot 6 of the 12 Chozo artifacts. Bah! And I'm loving every moment.

Bah, I'd kick your ass Mario, with Mario! OMG SELF BEATING HOW UNPLEASENT! =P

BTW, got me thinking, anybody here use the custom tags when playing SSB:M in multi? Personally, I go with 'Duff'. But scrolling through the pre-set list, Nintendo included 133t! Yay, Nintendo rock =D

Heh, I think I lost my mind this afternoon. Come, witness a sample of my insanity as I scared the crap outta someone I don't really like on my MSN list. Watch as I destroy the English language! Come, let's take a look. I am bored. Lots of reading! Later on, I got a few others to join in on another convo I started up, and we all started typing like that, and making no sense at all. Heh. Cheap thrills. Can't post that one I'm afraid. There'd be too many cut out words ^_^;

heyheyhey

well, i might be reallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreally hungover on saturday because of my friends going away partay. or, i may not cause i think i have work saturday morning. BUT, saturday night sounds good  for me to own yall in smash bruddaz. i told kirby about the whole affair and hes quite convinced that he will be delivering an unending barrage of crushing defeats to all that oppose him. hes even a little edgy around me.

i saw "fat pizza" today. i recommend it to anyone who is already a fan of pizza. its has some really funny moments. although i kinda thought that if youre gonna make a movie, you should make it perfect so its well balanced and has a lot of laughs. maybe my standards are too high.

i got the gameboy/gamecube cable today. and for 20 bux, i think its a good buy. sort of. i hooked metroid fusion up to prime and unlocked nes metroid and the fusion suit. these bonuses were really the sprinkling on the cherry on top of the icing on the cake. ive played nes metroid before but its cool to be able to have it ready to play anytime, and being able to restart from a save rather than a password.
i think the cable will really come into its element once ive got animal forest and also zelda.

Mario: Sir, I challenge you to a duel. I prefer pistols at dawn, or SSB:M when I can't be bothered getting up that early. I prefer Link, but occasionally use the fuzzy yellow rat when I want to annoy. Taunt? Hell yeah!

Infernal: I remember the 133T tag! That was cool. I'd play as that except I started with the tag SHFT so meh. There's others like SHIG and N00B, but we like to personalise. One of my friends called himself COON, so now we just call him Coon, even when we're at SSB:M.
And the meaningless MSN conversations are cool. I wish I wrote down some of the stuff that I've said recently. WTF is definitely applicable! Things like "Selley's No More *insert word*" and "I Can't Believe it's not *insert word*" are my favourite meaningless statements!

Ai Ai: Monkey suit. That just the icing on any gaming night. How about getting multiple suits and having "Monkey Olympics." I've been inspired by the Simpsons last week. Now all I need is a few suits! Or just some monkeys.

Yeah, it was always gonna be a NINTENDO night. All NIntendo. All night. Saturday night. I'm gonna be REALLY buggered though, cause I have a movie marathon sunday night with my friends. Oh man, and I have another assignment due TUESDAY! And another one due THURSDAY!
In fact, at this late hour of Thursday morn, I am working on an assignment due TODAY! ARRRGGH!

And i am VERY sure about this, but I am crap at SSBM. So all you guys can just use me as a punching bag or something. It's the only ultimate multiplayer game i don't have.

And i REALLY wanna go to Infernals, cause I have never played multiplayer with REAL Nintendo gamers before. ALl my friends like their shoddy PCs, PS2s and Xboxs. Some have Gamecubes, and play multiplayer on it too, but are hardly fun, cause their too busy with their new 'social lives'. Pah!

Heh, you have time to play with yourself there PIAC? Ah ha ha, oh ho ho.. Ahh, the mind of a dirty one at work. =P

And I have some bad news, *GASP*, I won't have Rocky, Mat Hoffman and Monkey Ball for Saturday. My GC collection along with my DVD collection got raped by a friend yesterday in exchange for me using his cable internet for a few hours. Heh, I nearly destroyed his stats =D

I only just got back Monkey Ball, too =/
Oh well. As soon as I get Mat Hoffman back, I'm throwing it towards EB, along with Rocky, because it got real boring. Real fast.

And social life? What? Hell, I don't even understand the life part. I thought I was the living dead! Mmmmuurrrr, cereal.... Ehhhhhhhhgg, sleep.... BRAINS BRAINS BRAINS!!!!

*Shrugs shoulders*
Oh yeah, went to the show yesterday. I didn't go through with the Cowboy crap, mainly because the Western showbag was nowhere to be seen. Eh.
Everything is a bloody rip-off there. Almost every ride ends up costing $5.80, HOLY CRAP BOX. And lunch? A hot dog and chips cost me $7 =(

OH NOES!

Edit button brings me to a rather erotic error page.
I forgot, I also found my copy of Smash Bros. on N64 yesterday. I thought i'd sold it or something. Man, my memory is terrible these days. It's HILARIOUS after playing Melee for so long. BEYOND HILARIOUS!

Oh man, I was actually nearly pissing myself over it. The graphics are so, so terrible. It's like somebody threw sloppy dog crap in my eyes and smushed it around. Blurry, low-poly, slow! Oh yeah, perfect for multi.

*Looks at room*
Heh, I really need to organize this room for Saturday. I'm not kidding when I say this house is small =P

Hehe.
If you have enough room for four, a bathroom, a kitchen and, of course, a Gamecube and TV, you will have no problems.

And in response to PIAC, I think I'll tell you this story, and please, don't throw up:
My friend's pizza restauraunt closed down a while back, and so, his manager sat down with all the staff and started spilling the beans about people who had worked there. There was the odd hatred of some people, and stories of couples making out or having full sex on the tables, but this one really got my attention. Apparently, there is one guy who always arrived early (I think like 8am) to make sure the deliveries of the ingredients got in, like the flour to make the base, the toppings and such. Well, the Manager comes in at her time of 9am and guess what she finds?

The early dude jerking off.....in the flour box.

I have to say though, that we were eating pizza at the time. So I just looked at my pizza, smirked, and continued eating as before.

Gross? Hell yeah.



Please don't ban me.

Well at least i got myself 20 bucks by making a N00b outa myself, that made it all worth while i guess. Infernal, haha i was just playing Super Smash Bros on N64 the other day too, and MAN that game didnt age well, its so damn slow and blocky and.... UGHH! And LMFAO @ that MSN conversation, teh funnies *collapses on the floor*.

I won't have Rocky, Mat Hoffman and Monkey Ball for Saturday

Thats ok, Rocky and Mat Hoffman are teh suck! I have monkey ball 1 and i know Termin8Anakin has monkey ball 2 so thats alright. As long as you have Sonic Mega Collection im happy. Im gonna bring my two GBA's is that alright? I have Fzero, Mario Kart, Zelda, Super Mario Advance 1 and 2, Advance Wars and Pokemon Sapphire *cough*ruby is teh suk0rs*cough*. Also, you think we should play N64 as well? I have Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Super Smash Bros, Mario Tennis (a classic) and eerm.... the Pokemon Stadiums for multiplayer N64 action.

Hey yo Mario, Infernal.
I *might* not be able to go to an all night multiplayer night. There would be the problem of having the car all night. And of course, my parents still haven't got it through their thick, stubborn skulls that I'm nearly 18, so I think the only way I would be able to go, and maybe joeyjojo as well, is that if its a day thing.

Any problems with that?

And hey, why don't we bring ALL the Nintendo stuff we have - consoles, games, plush mascot, everything.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion

can i scan my snorlax and then you guys can print it out, and its like my honourable attendance? i feel left out.

Scan your Snorlax?
Haha. That would be funny, but yeah, go right ahead. THen just email it to one of us.
You will be there in spirit.

And I guess we could bring EVERY console, but then I only have a Game Boy, N64 and Gamecube. I understand if you have a SNES, NES, SMS and SMD, but who thew hell has an Atari, Jaguars, 3DO and CDi.

No PlayStations or XBoxs. Thats that.
Not that I don't like them, but we've already got the best next-gen system for multiplayer.
And the others are there for retro, nostalgic gaming purposes only.

Aw hell, I'm such a dildo. I didn't sleep last night. At all, and at 3:40 AM-ish, I decided I'd go and trade in Wreckless and X-Men towards Contra on PS2.

So I walk into town about 9-ish this morning. Hmmmm, nobody's around. A winner is me!

Get to the mall. Hmmmm, doors are shut.

Hmmmm, it's Friday.

Hmmmm, it's good Friday. GAH!

Quick, Mario, bring Perfect Dark and your expansion Pak! Arrr, it's been ages since I've played that (I traded in my N64 with 20 games when the PS2 launched. Yeah, I was uh... Drunk. Now I have an N64 again, but expansion paks are hard to get now!)

And Termin8, c'mon, we have to boot up the PS2 at least for Burnout 2 sessions =)


As for N64 games, I've got

- Smash Bros.
- WWF Warzone (insane fun in 4-player, honest!)
- GoldenEye
- Pod Racer
- Quake 2
- Rayman 2

Ummmmm..... And... Other... Games which I can't place my finger on. I may have F-Zero X by the time you all rock up tomorrow, that's if shops are open tomorrow (?), because I remember seeing F-Zero at Cash Convertors for $14 with box and all a few days back.

That reminds me, what time are you all getting here?

And PIAC, be on MSN tomorrow night, it'll be like your almost here =)
Or if you had Super Man's powers, you could be here now! *Shakes fist*

And don't worry about F-Zero X, cause I already have it.

I asked the lady if I could check it out, she took it out of the cabnit, and I discovered the joystick had SNAPPED OFF, and the dicks had just put it back on with blue-tack. Pffftt. I showed it to her, and she laughed and PUT IT BACK IN THE DISPLAY CABNIT.

Gah.

Ah well, see ya at 5-6-7-ish o'clock rock.

Hey fellas. You can get a brand new N64, at EB Bankstown, for $49.95!
I feel sorry for it, cause it's the unwanted piece of hardware on top of the shelf.

And I saw Target still selling Majora's Mask.....for $99.95!
RIP OFF!

And I have my name reserved for the big Samus stand!
They told me that the reps come in and take it away, so i just put my name ad number on it. It's as good as mine!

I ripped the joystick out of my first N64 controller. Not on purpose of course but througha bike accident. I had the controller in my pockey going to my friends house. But yeah, I skidded for 10 metres underneath my bike acroose a bitumen road and it just tso happens hat the side of my body the controller was in was the side i fell to. Thatr was ages ago though. and had little relevance but yeah, N64 joysticks suck.

WHile were bithcing about shops, it turns out that my local harvey norman actually hadn't recieved metroid prime yet, and that they'd ring me when they get it. Thats right, they still havent gotten it.

Hey fellas.
I just woke up from sleeping all day.
Now I have to go to a Movie Marathon later tonight too!
Man...
It was a cool night.
We actually started off by playing Burnout 2 on PS2. Pretty enjoyable, especially the Crash mode.
The pizza came, and we put on Next Gen Video's E3 2002 DVD.
Later I, of course, proved how crap I was at Super Smash Bros (both of them), and Chris, kicked everyone's asses.We put on Mario Kart 64, and to say the least, Joe kicked all our asses. Chris, Lance and I just kept crashing everywhere, and we just sucked.
I went off and played Metroid Prime for a while (I've never played it properly yet!).
Timesplitters 2 was very cool. And I even surprised myself by coming second! haha. It was such a long session of that game everyone had VERY sore trigger fingers. It's crazy action. Very good.
Then, we put on what I think was the ruling game of the night. Super Monkey Ball 2. We did crazy bowling first. Which was utterly crazy.
but I think the most fun we had was with the challenge mode. Advanced. It kept us going for like ages. Lance got eliminated first at the Dribbles stage, as did Chris. I was eliminated at the, I think the Launchers stage, and Joe just kick us all, but got eliminated at stage 29, the second last stage. Bugger you Joey!
We then put on Monkey Tennis, which provided heaps of fun for about an hour, then we put on the old Monkey Ball, and played Monkey Target, which was quite different considering I'm used to the one in SMB2.
It was around 3am at this stage.
And I wanted to finish Eternal darkness for the last time. I was at Alex's stage, and after a long time of doing the whole tedious summoning thing with the spires, I got up to Pious. And died just when I was about to do the finishing blow. Damn. So, I went and did it again. Then died, again, just when i was doing the finishing blow. Arrrgh! In frustration, I just turned it off. I'll get you Pious.
We were just so damn tired after that. Not even the ten glasses of Pepsi could keep us hypo for the night. I went to sleep on the couch for a while, before being woken up by the sounds of Sonic Mega Collection being booted up. Ahh..the...uh...memories. I think Sonic 3D was quite funny, but it looked cool. We played mainly Sonic 2.
I asked if we could put on Sonic Adventure 2. So we did. And I have to tell ya, it's one wierd game. Fast, but not polished like Nintendo's titles.

The I played Zelda on Chris's GBA SP, while the rest watched Lance fighting the final boss fo Metroid Prime. I don't think he beat it, but we unlocked the original Metroid after that.
Then we played Zelda Four Swords, which proved to be great fun. It's really competetive too. And really slack the way we just picked each other up and threw each other into the holes in the ground. It was fun.

Then, to end the night, Joe went to sleep, and we played Burnout 2 again until the sun went up.
Then we went home.

*Attempts to type*

Heh, yeah, it was one crazy night. Happy happy joy joy!

.. And wouldn't you know it, I completed Metroid about an hour after you all left. I wasn't even paying attention this time, and.. I beat it. Damn, too late to leech off Joe's GC/GBA link for the Fusion suit =D

Iiieee, I need sleep. But... Can't... Sleep.
Oh well. Maybe if I catch the last 10 mins of 'In Laws' on Channel 10, it'll put me to sleep.

hey hey hey.

thanx heaps for the hospitalities, not to mention excellent drink service on saturday lance. if i had a few dudes off the net at my house playing games, i'd be thinking, "soooo, i wonder which of these guys is gonna try and steal some of my games? whats the deal with this old bearded dude dropping corn chips on the floor and on himself".  

oh and by the way. termin8's post wasnt exactly accurate. you see, i think you'll find that the night was a non-stop grand display of my owning power. ESPECIALLY in smash bros where i never lost. although i must note that chris showed great valour and always came a CLOSE second.

i think the best part of the night was when i caught the train home at 6 or 7 or 8 or whatever the time it  was in the morning and eating a discusting vending machine cookie on the station and feeling the frostbite set into my face and hands. mmmmmm, love that feeling. especially when you havent slept, and the train ride takes about half an hour or more, and then you have to walk from the station and then you get home and your dog tries to lick your face and then your whole family's up and making noise and the sun is shining and then you sleep for 3 hours and wake up cause someones called for you and you go back to sleep and wake up and go to your friends place and hire out some more games and play burnout 2 and you have to have a shot of tequila if you dont get a high enough score and if you lose 3 times you have to drink a glass of cheap wine and your whooping ASSSSSSSSSSSS but the you hit a losing streak and then next thing you know your heads sinking between the cushions and you cant go on and you crack open another beer but you cant bring yourself to drink it and you open up the sofa bed and crash and wake up cause the computer in the room has msn running and it goes "DOONG" cause someone signed in or something and you get up and ride your girly pink bike with your phat 80's stack hat and go to maccas and eat some lard in a bun and get home and write a post.

this is joeyjojo singing off.

Yeah well....I can't remember that much anymore.
Two nights in a row of all-nighters is a killer.

A night at Lance's, then a night at the movies. Man, I am REALLY bummed out.
And now I gotta start an assignment due tomorrow.
Arrrgh!
And then there's an assignment due Thursday!

Dude, that sounds like an awesome ride, pink and everything. All I've got are these damn legs. I need a unicycle. Then I'd like, jump into the world of Unirally on SNES, and I'd attempt to have my name as "crap" and the SNES would go "NOT COOL ENOUGH"

So I'd get mad, mad and tired. So then I'd like, start singing songs really loud in the middle of no-where, and people would appear out of the blue and go "Aw yeah, cool man"

THEN, I'd get a contract with a record label, and start pumping out really crap songs that are full of swearing and I'd become a zillionare. I'd then go to McDonalds, ask how much a 40c ice cream cone is, and make it last for months.

Mmmmm, I'm really enjoying this so called 'Iced cream'

Awesome night guys, especially when i was OWNING y'all in Smash Bros As soon as i got home i went straight to sleep but only for like 3 hours or somethin coz some sh!thead thought it was funny to start playing Resident Evil really loud in my room and wake me up from my beauty sleep, argh! Then like i went back to sleep for another few hours and it was alllllll guud. Btw, Termin8Anakin, im playin Eternal Darkness now and im just about to beat the boss and get the third ending, YAY!

And the 3:33 thingy, I think that Nintendo rep was just making conversation. =P

"Yeah, so.. Uh, did you know if you put your GC upside down whilst playing Metroid Prime at 6:66 AM, Samus comes out of the TV and has hawt sex with you?"

'... But.. 6:66 AM isn't possible!'

"QUIET I KNOW ALL! CRUSH!"

'Arrrrh! Get off me!'

"CRUSH!"

'Stop saying that!'

A four-sided coin you say? That'd be a bitch to use in a vending machine.

I say you go get one of those 12-sided dice that they use in D&D games. 3 sides for SMC, 3 sides for GS, 3 sides for GS2 and 3 sides for Yoshi's Island (BTW, it's not as good as the SNES original =P )

Oh yeah, K-Mart is having a 15% storewide sale Wednesday and Thursday, Australia wide.

Uh, also, EB stores (It's been reported that random stores are doing this sale Australia wide) are having a small kinda GC sale.

Turok Evolution = $19.95 - $29.95 (varies for some reason)

Vexx = $29.95

Legends of Wrestling 2 = $29.95

And... A bunch of other low profile games, ranging from $20 to $30

yeah, i FINALLY completed ED on one path last nite.  i also changed the GC clock to before 3.33am and nothing happened.  so it's all bull, right?

and i went to my local Blockbuster today (been awhile), and they are showing more GC love.  they have a whole shelf devoted to GC games (surprising considering how bad it's selling) and they have metroid prime and RE0 for rental.  but i rented Burnout.  hehe, this game is mad and fun.  and hard.

*Sad face*

My local Blockbuster sold off their GC stock quite some time ago. I officially have no where to hire games.
Stupid Blockbuster. They get 'exclusive' rubbish like Night Rider on PS2, which nobody touches, yet GC games are the devil.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on April 22, 2003, 01:46:38 AM
Blockbuster in Strathfield has a ton of GC games. Too bad I'm not a member, cause they have the good GC games too!
And whatever you do, DO NOT go to Civic Video in Greenacre.
My friend's younger brother told me there were GC games there. I went there, and as good as it may sound, their Gamecube section was as big as the XBox and PS2 sections, but to my disbelief, there were only five games. I was too disappointed to comment.

Hey Civic Video, you guys have the right idea, just a little more GC games please.

And mate, I have NO IDEA what happens at 3:33am on ED. You probably have to have lost HEAPS to ALL of your sanity. Or maybe the guy meant 3:33PM? I'll try it out.
I actually went insane at 3:33am as Alex, and when I was in the library, instaed of the odd book or two flying from one shelf to the other, I saw like 50 books flying in a circle. It was pretty freaky.

Oh! And I saw another creepy incident, although it wasn't as scary as the bathtub. I walked around the mansion, as Alex, completely insane, and when I went into the piano room, I heard a creeking noise. I was already getting goosebumps. I walked around to the piano, an right there in the corner was a hanged man, swinging from side to side. I exmained him, and some guy started talking in a whispery voice. Them the voices stopped, and the guys eyes opened! ARRRRRRGH! Me and my sister screamed. It was scary as hell, but not as scary as the tub. Afterward, when I composed myself and changed my undies, I was glad to see something like that again.  
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on April 22, 2003, 02:25:52 PM
Eep, I've seriously gotta get ED... For it's insanity alone!

I'm currently wetting my pants over 'Project Zero' on PS2. Holy hell that's a terrifying game.
Young girl + Haunted house + Hundreds of ghosts + No weapon = Scary ass game

No weapons in the game, AT ALL! You have a stinky camera to defeat the ghosts! That means you have to line up a perfect shot as they get closer... And closer.... Ands closer... UNTIL THEY GRAB ONTO YOU AND SCREAM HOW THEY DIED AND THE SCREEN GOES ALL STRANGE AND THE MUSIC GOES EVIL AND YOU'RE TRYING TO FIX THE CAMERA BUT THEY KEEP SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEY WERE SHOT OR HUNG OR SUICIDED! AND THEY DEMAND YOU HELP THEM! AND THEN YOU RUN AWAY ONLY TO HAVE THEM FLOAT THROUGH WALLS AND SCREAM AT YOU TO BACK OFF!

aRARAraRrahhhhhHHHHHH!!!!!!!

And I almost died when walking around an innocent looking room, to open a door, and see a woman looking right at me, grin, and have blood leak from her eyes, laugh, go away, appear later in the middle of no-where, and it looks like she's trying to dry hump you!

OMGWTF!!!!!1

Yeah i saw that too, except it wasnt at 3.33am, i think it was just after 12am. Its wierd because ive never seen that before when i finished the game for the first time or the second time, wierd. And yeah that dude that was hanging was some freaky sh!t, then he opened his eyes and i was like

BUT, i never finished majoras mask.     and you know what. im NEVER GOING TO! MWAHAHAaaaHAH

yes, ive started a game a few times. i even whipped out the 64 a couple of days ago and kept going from one of my saves. but after a day of playing on and off, IVE HAD IT.

i dont care what ANYONE thinks of this game. i have many problems with it. i wont go into detail because someones probably gonna try and correct each of my points.

its sad, cause on one hand i really like it. but the other hand tells me that theres certain things that make it too tedious to bear. its bitter sweet.

thats my 2 cents. i had to get it out of my system.

Eep, MM came out around the same time PS2 did. I chose PS2 =/
I've played it for a short amount of time, had great fun in pushing the dog at some market place in the water. So much fun I laughed. Laughed like an amused person type thing.

Man, Blacktown's K-Mart was CLEANED by the time I got there today. I'm serious, I've never seen the GC section so empty. Either K-Mart took all it's quality games off the shelve due to the sale, or we have a massive amount of GC owners now. All they had left was rubbish like ZooCube, WWE, and ... Yeah, bad crap.

I then headed on over to the PS2 wall. Man, what a long effort to get there, I had to TURN AROUND. Damn, nearly died.
Was very sad, K-Mart did their old trick of putting everything back up to $99.95 for the sale. You wait, on Saturday, everything will go back down
*Shakes fist*

Oh well, got the M*A*S*H DVD box-set, ended up being $55.

This game is seriously f*cking my brain over. Can't sleep. Clown will eat me....
I had to fight off a woman with her head hanging from what was left of her spine, she was kind enough to scream out that she killed her own baby as I took the final photo of her. What a nice game. Then as I was stumbling around with basically no health, a dead kid appeared from the wall and dry humped my face while screaming he was a good boy. Mmmmm.

Just wait, tomorrow, my favorite game of all time will be, "Attempt to get the VCR remote working"

It's so much fun. I swear.

Meh, what's new. At least Pokemon is beating GTA: VC.

Joey, you're friend sounds like someone I never want to be. I try to finish every game i buy, unless I really cannot stand the game, which is rare. The last game I didn't finish is Nightfire on GC, but that may change.

I'm up to the final final boss in Metroid Prime. Not the first part, but the really annoying part after that. I should get back to it, but I don't want to finish it. The boss before that was awesome. Not frustrating, but really challenging and a classic battle.

Bah, holidays are over soon. And I still haven't got into ED. I'll hang my head in shame.

Heh, trust me, Night Fire is so not worth the effort of finishing. It's like EA suddenly ran out of funding when it came to finishing NF.

Well, i walked into Kmart today all excited because i was finally gonna get Sonic Mega Collection, i happily skipped over to the GC section and saw it sitting there. So i picked up the box and proceeded to the counter. At that point i opened my wallet and had my money ready. The guy says "Hang on, ill just go and get one from the back". So i wait for about 10 minutes and he comes back and says "Sorry we dont have that game, we have THIS ONE THOUGH!" *store guy holds up Sonic adventure 2: Battle*. I said no thanks and i decided to get Golden Sun 2 instead. So i gave the guy Golden Sun 2, he went out "back" to look for it. 15 minutes later he comes back and says "im sorry what game are you after?". I told him and he went out "back" again. Then ANOTHER 15 FRICKIN minutes later he comes back out and says "im sorry we dont have that one". ARGGHHG!!!!!1111111111111111111111111111 What a *%$#ing n00b!

Anyway, apparently EB have a deal where you can trade in OOT and Majoras Mask and get Wind Waker for "only" $40! Yay! What a deal! *insert forced smile hear* Im going to give away two of my favourite games of all time that are in mint condition that can never be bought anywhere else ever again just so i can get Wind Waker for twice the price as Turok, HORRAY!! And another thing, i showed my friends those new Mario Kart screens and they were like "omg that is g@y dude, lametendocrap is for teh kids". WTF? How can anyone not like Mario Kart?! ARGH!!!?? Im in such a good mood today!!!! Not to mention i just broke up with my girlfriend a few minutes ago. /forced smile YAY!!!!!!!! Sunshine lolipops and rainbows everywhere!!

Mario,

That Kmart = Teh suck

You can tell a store is 'teh suck' when they have to go out back and fumble around for the game. It's like, they have no idea anyway.

Employee (usually old): "UHHHHHH, SONIC MEGA COLLECTION? UMMMMMMMMMMM, OH HERE IT IS!"

*Brings back a Kenny G album and starts drooling all over his tie*

"I GOT YOUR GAME!"

'No, that's an old CD from some dude nobody cares about'

*Employee smiles, goes back into store room*

*Comes back with a pack of red pens*

"I HAVE THE SUNIK MEGA CORRECTION! HERE!"

'No, I hate you'

*Employee drools some more, falls over dead*

P.A system: "Clean up required in the sound and vision department!"



And sorry bout the break up dude, it sucks, but hey, Nintendo is always there. ^_^;

And holy hell PIAC, they seriously had a grey ZeldaoT? I thought such a thing didn't exist here!
Grey cartridge + Ebay.com.au = Lots of money

Heh, creator of GTA3. Yeah, there's always someone to blame for all the world's problems. I blame them.

As for women, all of them are f@#ked. Doesn't mean you give up on them. It just means that it's hell. Always.

Mmm, Golden Sun 2 looks very tempting at the moment. I wish I still had the first one (sold it to some kid for $25 - I'm laughing!) so that I could find out this whole link thing, but I'll live.

But I'm broke. So that's that.

You know, I might actually do that Zelda deal.
I know it'll be cool to have both Zelda's on N64 and all, but the battery WILL run out, and there's nothing we can do about it. And we WILL have OoT forever to keep. I don't know about giving MM away cause it's not in the deal.
So yeah, i might do it. I'm also a cheap bastard.
If it works out, I'll have enough money to get Metroid Prime!

And no, we don't get the bonus discs before wind waker, which is cool cause then it's not just in a plastic sleeve. It's actually packed in with WW.

EDIT: Oh, and dude, sorry about your chick. She must have really meant something to you (!). What was the joke she couldn't take?
Me, I'm saving myself. Too many heartbreaks makes you think heaps about the chick you want most. I want a chick who loves games. Who loves NIntendo. WHo can kick my ass in multiplayer.

You'd have more luck finding a tap-dancing fish.

Mmmm, that gives me an idea.
*Gets a drink*

Enigma, yeah, well, you guys in the US were forced to pre-order to get Master Quest. And you got it right there and then. Here, we're not forced to, although there's only going to be like, 10,000 copies with the bonus disc in Australia (Gotta love sloppy seconds from Europe), so yeah... Pre-ordering is the way to go here. I guess.

unlocking master in monkey ball 1 is one of my aims in life.  some day, i will (i don't have the time now).  about that sega stage, you need a full proof plan.  it's not that hard.  do it in practice mode and aim at completing it 5 times in row.  it's the best way to sharpen your skill at a stage that is giving you problems and getting used to doing it under pressure.

I cracked somebody up once, long ago. Took alot of glue to fix. Actually, I was too cheap to buy some $2 glue, so I used melted chocolate that was in my pocket. What a tasty, sticky mess.

Heh, I've seen The Wizard. Had that silly Wonder Years kid in it. At the time, I found it to be a great movie, as it was like one giant advert for the NES. And the Power Glove looked so high tech, so wonderful, so .... erotic? Mmmmm.

A gaming chick is indeed a rare one. Now a Nintendo gaming chick - good luck is definitely in order.

As for the tap-dancing fish, I'm down with that idea Infernal!

Me, I prefer the partying chick. I'm losing touch with the Cube because I'm too busy being social/drunk. I think any chick I'm interested in will have to outdrink me, or drag my sorry self home or to a designated passout point. Both, and I'll have to hold on to her.
There is this one chick from Uni who is really hot, and really flirty with me, and she's a party animal, but I ended up dragging her around town on a pub crawl because she was messed up (while I wasted valuable drinking time) so I'm still looking for that perfect chick! Or maybe I'm just too lazy.

And the Zelda two-disc set looks delicious. And I've pre-ordered too! Yay! Did the US people have to put a deposit down, because I heard it was bought outright at some places? I've got $10 down on WW, and two free games too!
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Locke Cole on April 26, 2003, 04:10:28 AM
Yes shifty, we Americans too had to put a deposit down on the game.  Some morons at Target were giving the Bonus discs away, which is pretty stupid.  I hope you like Windwaker as much as all of us had, stay spoiler free and I'll garuntee you'll love this game.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Shift Key on April 26, 2003, 04:16:46 AM
Yeah, I've tried to ignore as much details as possible, so hopefully I can be as surprised as I was in OoT.
Man, that had some nice twists in the plot. And Metroid Prime, that had a great storyline through the scanning.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on April 26, 2003, 11:01:40 AM
yeah, metroid's story line is cool, ive scanned 78% of things, some of the orange computer monitors are funny "the sceince team reminds units not to antagonise the metroids" "no unautherised feeding of the metroids"
classic stuff
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on April 26, 2003, 03:27:52 PM
Well, I wouldn't have said what I said if I didn't actually know a chick who loves games. One such chick happens to be my sister's friend at school. Which is a bugger. Cause she came over on my sister's birthday last year, and we had a really sensual, flirty multiplayer session of Perfect Dark. Hmmm....
I have to keep looking, unfortunately. My sister broke all the sexual tension that was building up between us. Damn!

I've actually been playing a lot of SMB2, which is surprising since I considered selling it when I got it. And I have to agree, Monkey Baseball is a very frustrating game when the opposition uses the same tactics as you when pitching (fast pitch, then slowing it down just when you're about to swing the bat), and how the hell do you hit backwards? Everytime they pitch it, I swing and then it goes behind me! What the...? Monkey Bowling and Billiards still rule. And I can actually get to level 9 of Expert in challenge mode! Yay!

Oh well, I gotta go. I haven't watched 24 yet, and Sarah Wynter and Elisha Cuthbert are calling me in a very.....erotic way. Hmmm. Maybe it's not 24. It's probably those copies of FHM on my desk.

LOL Termin8anakin, you gotta find the chicks who love gaming.  Us gamers can't live without them, they'll play us in Smash Brothers, help us in Rouge Leader 3(eventually)and do anything else multiplayer.  Unfortunately for me, my school thinks gaming is for geeks and they make fun of people who do it.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on April 26, 2003, 05:18:06 PM
Haha, that is a big difference to everyone at my school (well, I've finished it now, class of 2002), who had a high-end PC and could play, and afford, every new PC game, and STILL have a social life of drugs, booze, babes, amongst other things. I, on the other hand, have the worst PC between me and my friends, and can only afford one game (Gamecube, natuarally) before I'm totally broke. Well, not really totally broke, but you get the idea.

And, if there's any chicks on this forum (I doubt it though), just go to my site and stare in awe at the massive photo of my head! I'll have a more Cassanova-esque photo up soon, so ladies, prepare yourselves!

They should also include magic shoes with each copy. Then we can all go "Make me like Mike" and they'll do nothing at all, but we'll think they did something, so we'll try and eat a cup cake, and it'll go "aw naw, don't eat me!"

So then you have to put it down and go "pffft, damn foo'! I'm Mike!" then stand on it with the magic shoes and go "Mmm, num num num"

It'll have a cry and moosh up real good like. Then you can throw it at a wall and it'll knock the wall down, revealing a hidden room with treasures and Toad.
Toad will ask you to pick a treasure out of any of the three magic boxes. He'll do it without moving his lips. This is when you take off one magic shoe, and hurl it at him.

If you hit him right, his head will fall clean off, and blood will explode out like some kind of exploding fountain. Quickly! Pick up all three trasure chests with your power glove before the room fills up with blood and brain fluid!
Once your back outside basking under the rays of the big fat Sun with a happy face, open the chests to discover your treasures. They may only be bits of rancid meat.

If so, go to a question mark block and go "AY!"
It'll go "eh?" because it's playing silly buggers. Hit it from below to kill it. The meat will then implode and spin in circles while singing a song about the state of gaming in outer space.

Then, a coin will appear. Woo, now you can go buy a Super Scope from the Princess for some reason. She'll attempt to have sex with you when you see her.

"AW GIVE ME LOTS OF KISS!" she'll scream.

"NO, YOU SMELL!"
So you gotta throw a spear at her and get her to come over here. She really will come over there though, makes an awful mess.
Then, after playing a game of Twister, she'll give you the Super Scope.

Take it EA Big's development studio in Canada, and go "I'm from Canada, I'm a little slow ey?"

They'll nod their heads and clap their hands. Then give you a copy of Shox and go "I like teh pie"

That's when you go back home and put your feet up on the couch, and break out the dairy milk chocolate. Ready for an exciting night of adverts on TV.

So yeah, that's how you get rid of worms.

I dare you to compete with me for the pretty boy title!

Kidding aside, yeah, I agree with you about monkey baseball.  I also don't like the fact that you can hit a lot of homeruns.  This will come as a surprise to you all, but I've barely touched SMB2 over the last couple weeks.  Just not as good as the first game.  Doesn't have the same charm and monkey love!

Talking about chicks, I want a chick who will make love with me on top of my GAMECUBE! Yeah, I mean, the top is flat and shiny, right guys?  Only if it had more surface area...

Haha.

And I can't believe that we're getting Zelda like a week or two before Nintendo announce the next one at E3! Geez! Can it come any later???

Oh, and there's one thing that I forgot to mention. The Nintendo rep said that games already released in America are not allowed to be more than two months behind, or something bad happens in the way of lawsuits - or maybe something less drastic than that, I forget.

Anyhoo, tomorow hopefully im gonna get NBA Street 2, according to Nintendo Australia's website it comes out tomorow. And hopefully they will have Sonic Mega Collection and im gonna get that too. Bah i need more money! Wind Waker, Skies, Ikaruga, Yoshis Island, Wario Ware want!

actually joey, you CAN skip cutscenes in ED if you've alreadt seen them. Just press start. Easy. You have to wait like 2-4 seconds before you can though.

Hmmm, I dunno if my TV can support 60Hz. Are all new TVs capable of supporting it, cause We just bought our TV like last year.

I'm not sure about that "only" 60Hz thing. Sure, it shows it on the box, and my knowledge of non-English ain't good, but it just seems stupid that they'd do that.

What does "nur" mean in German? Only. Alright, I've been proven wrong. Now that definitely is stupid, but think of it as an uber-OoT and Master Quest. Mmm, smooth!

Termin8: Your TV should be fine. There's no sure way to check unless you bootup a game that you have that has a 60Hz mode (eg Smash Bros or Burnout are two that I have). I think you hold down B during startup, and you get a screen that asks you if you want 60Hz mode on. If you lose colour, then it can't handle it. 60Hz has a better refresh rate (more images each second) and so the picture is smoother.

Woo.

Finally reserved a copy of Zelda today. Traded in Mat Hoffman and Kelly Slater, paid the remaining $49.95, treated the docket like a new born baby..

So yeah, basically, I got Zelda for $89.95, since Mat Hoffman and Kelly Slater were $19.95 each. Weee! I'm cheap!

And saw the funkiest thing in Toys R Us today, the Atari 2600 is BACK! Crazy stuff. $59.95, you get a new model 2600 (which is just the classic joystick, no unit!) and a whole bunch of classic games built in. I NEED IT. My collection won't be complete without this new toy.

But $59.95? Pfft, it has to wait.

I tried the 60Hz mode on my old tv, and the game was in black and white and quite hard to see.

Maybe that's how you can tell the game will play on your tv?

Anyhoo, went to burwood again today, only to come back empty handed, AGAIN! Stupid shops and thier crappy games, argh! I cant find Sonic Mega Collection ANYWHERE! I was gonna get NBA Street 2 but i was a day too early, bah! -__-

I was up to world 8 - the pistons and the vortex are hard (and i dunno why it says really hard, but that gravity one is easy.), and now i have to start all over again! I also unlocked all the new party games, now i have to do it all again! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It was an accident! I was deleting all my replays from the Memeory card, and I accidently deleted the game file as well! DAMN ME!

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. Me an AiAi were bored =D
The Grace Bros. near me doesn't even bother with the demo unit, it's still got the Mario Party 4 demo running, it freezes all the time, and the left control stick on the first pad is gone. Yep. GONE. Eaten by some stinky kid or something.

EDIT: Termin8, that seriously sucks man. Arg, that'd make me wanna throw something. Throw it good!
Oh well, this might cheer you up;

Yeah. I just checked and my TV can support 60Hz mode.
But it sucks. Is there supposed to be some flickering on the sides of the screen? And the top and bottom don't even fit on the TV! Everyone is taller!

I'm so pissed about Super Monkey Ball 2, and no, Mario, I won't sell it to you yet. I still wanna complete the game. Now that I'm up to (or was up to) World 8, I think I can actually finish the game.

What world and level are ya up to Joey?

Post by: Termin8Anakin on April 28, 2003, 03:47:18 PM
Haha. I might not buy it this year. I'll just come over your house and watch it. A four disc set is cool, but how much is that gonna be seriously!

And I thought Next Gen is gone! Wasn't their last issue in January? What are they doing still here?
I though the was the DVD for last year was pretty well done. But the footage quality just SUCKED compared to E3 2001's DVD. The direct feed footage was blurry and after watching it, your eyes would be blurry for like ages, whereas in the E3 2001 DVD, the direct feed footage WAS direct feed footage, as it was meant to be seen on a TV.
There's no good games that I can say I like the videos for on the E3 2002 DVD. Sure there was Zelda ansd stuff, but the vids sucked.
On the 2001 DVD, my faves are Final Fantasy X, Super Smash Bros Melee, and the Raven Blade footage ROCKED!

EDIT: And shouldn't the cover say 2K3? It's not E3 2004 just yet!    
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on April 28, 2003, 04:06:38 PM
Yeah, the whole 2004 thing is odd.
Hopefully they'll attempt to make the interviews a bit more exciting. Watching a stupid twit get hit over and over while fighting a boss isn't that fun. Also, having an interview with basically no talk (Blinx)

I'll most likely pick it up, if it's under $50 that is.
.. Or I could just do what I did with last years, pick it up in March when it badly outdated for $6.95 at EB =D

Post by: Termin8Anakin on April 28, 2003, 04:23:25 PM
I'm gonna try and sell my 2001 and 2002 DVDs. There's no point in having it now.

The 2003/4(!) DVD actually looks worth it, but it's only as good as the quality of the footage, and if they suck, then no, I won't get it. If it's under 10 bucks, then yeah I will, but i won't when it's released.

uhhhhhh. i think im up to the stage where all the monkey robots appear. which is 8 i think.
how cool is the level "bangles" or "loops" or something. its in the washingmachine world. that was really fun.

10 days till zelda + 13 days till jury duty = well, i dont really know what it equals but its probably not good.

im actually pretty excited about this whole jury duty deal. im mean, i get paid, i get to see a court case, i get to deliberate a verdict, accept bribes, be threatened and/or murdered by the accused, throw someone in gaol. OR set them FREE... yaaayy. happy sunshine!




Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on April 28, 2003, 08:14:26 PM
yeah, that's world 8.
that 8 bracelets level in world 7 was kick ass. I had a good replay of that.
it's the best one where when you beat it you're like...Yeah, kick ass!
I did around 6 of the levels in world 8. then i deleted everything. arrgh!

and what??? you have to do jury duty? I thought that was an American thing? Do we all have to do jury duty?  

EDIT: And hey Infernal, I'll check out Ebay. It might be good. But then again, I can just go to Cash Converters in Parramatta and trade it in quicksmart there.

I was only kidding...

Your TV should accept 60Hz.  TVs we buy these days should have 60Hz mode, unless it's a small or cheap TV.  I know mine does (err, my parent's does), which they got over a year ago, and I made sure it did.

Haha. No arguements there Mario.

And guess what people? After only one hour of playing, I'm back up to World 7 in Super Monkey Ball 2! Yeah Baby! I did that 8 Bracelets level in one go, no joke. The level that gave me the most frustration was 'Combination' on world 6. It's not hard, it was just frustrating.

And I've got like 500000 points! When I was on World 8 yesterday, I only had 300000 points! Those other goals (the red and green ones) give you like 15000 points! Top that with the time bonus (total points x2) and that's top scores!
Yeah, I'm so proud of myself.

I grew up on those games, like Pitfall and Frogger.

If I had a PS2 I'd get that after Zelda. I'll probably get SoA because I sold off GS1 after I finished it, before I heard of the linkup with the sequel

But one of the rewards is that awesome scary game you saw, with the birds, and the single screen, and the scary title screen music, OH YEAH!!!

Hey, there's also three versions of Sonic 1 in there! Only just found that out yesterday, there's the original, with the moving clouds in the background, then there's the PAL version, with no moving clouds, screwed up level order and slow gameplay, THEN there's an updated Japanese version that features minor bug fixes and slightly better sounds!

Man, I saw X-Men 2 yesterday. F**cking awesome movie.

And I'm up to World 10 in Super Monkey Ball 2! Yeah! I was up till 3am last night playing it. So tired. And as the cool dude Joeyjojo just told me, only 8 more days till Zelda!

You know, I'm not into Sonic at all. I saw you guys playing it at Infernal's house, at I was like 'cool, I'll have a go', but you have no time explore, or even know where you're going! I hate that! I want to explore the wonderful detail that Sonic Team put all their hard-working, precious time into. And that stupid timer makes it even more impossible for me to play. Playing Sonic Advnture 2 was OK, though, but the controls and the level layout just sucked.

And AiAi, the Nintendo rep said Animal Crossing WAS coming to Australia. The first one. There's been NOTHING on Animal Crossing 2 yet (other than that it was announced), so I don't think the rep even knows if it's coming here or not. So its the first one. Just be glad it's coming out here at all.

Just watching Pokemon now, and Cam Shea from Hyper is going to be on Cheez TV for the next couple of weeks talking games. And since he's not affiliated with Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft, this may be interesting to watch.

I have a feeling he'll only be discussing G rated games though. You watch, we'll have him discuss the latest Yu-Gu-Oi (or whatever the hell it's called) game on PSOne, Spyro on PS2/GC, Pick your bum on Xbox, Pokemon Ruby on GBA...

I'd be very surprised if they actually talked about stuff like Metroid Prime, Mark of Kri, Mortal Kombat: DA and so on..

Man, Zelda WW got 98 in Nintendo Gamer this month! Along with 91 for SoA! (not bad for a DC port)

Stuff it, i'm going to EB. I'll report back with news on SoA if it's in. Partly because its eight days too early for Zelda.

It's weird, cause I've only ever played Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask as well.
A Link to the Past on GBA is the first old Zelda game I've ever played.

Kill me if you will, but I wasn't into games as much as I was until I got the net and found a whole community of people like me, and that's when I got into it more.

My friend, who LOVES games of all types, refuses to buy Wind Waker. Why? The graphics are just plain SHlT. So I asked him, did he love Ocarina of Time? 'Yeah'. So I said 'Wind Waker's better than Ocarina of Time'. Then he goes 'But I don't wanna play anything that looks like that'.

You know, Cel-Shading has been discriminated so much it's not funny anymore. Regardless of the excellent gameplay, some people are still calling Wind Waker a crap game. It's like people have developed this stubborn view of cel-shading, like it's the bastard of all gaming or something. I think those people would buy a game like Defender before they ever touch Zelda. These sad sick people.

Why of course my friend has seen Wind Waker in action. You'd think that going past all those Gamecube demo pods he would have seen something.

I don't know why he doesn't like the graphics in Wind Waker. It's just the graphics he doesn't like. I'm sure that if Wind Waker just had the same graphics as Ocarina of Time, he'd play it, but for some reason, not Wind Waker.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on May 01, 2003, 04:15:27 AM
Wow, there are still people out there that refuse to play Wind Waker due to its graphics?

Wind Waker's graphics = 3D version of Link to the Past's graphics. I wonder if these cel-shaded haters also hated Link to the Past? Or any 16-Bit game for that matter? OMG BRIGHT COLOURS I'M TOO COOL FOR BRIGHT COLOURS AND OUTSTANDING GAMEPLAY!

Oh yeah, everybody needs to download the first MP3 on this page, NOW!
It's an unused intro song for Metroid Prime. Not just a remix, this was actually going to be used, but the song was replaced by something Retro thought would be more fitting.
Nice piano at the end.

Post by: Termin8Anakin on May 01, 2003, 03:41:02 PM
PIAC: No, it's not. Mario just had a plain orange jumper.  It wasn't a jersery. That's Mario in the "This is the geek retinal scan center" pic. His back only. His pic's in the main report - he's got Metroid in his hand. I think Mario would know if it's him.

You know, I just found a Sonic comic in my cupboard under the stacks of study notes I have. I've had it for AGES, I forgot how I got it. I think it was form those Book Club things from primary school. The comics were cool though. The one I have is called 'Spin Attack'. I think Sonic's ego is too big for his own good. But it was a good comic.

EDIT: I've only got one more level in Super Monkey Ball 2 before I finish the game! It's called 'Revolutions', and I just can't beat it! I think the most satisfying level I've done ever was in world 10, and it was called '3D Maze'. You have to literally sit there and figure out where to go. Revolutions is like 3D Maze, but it's like really fast spinning and stuff.
I've got all the mini-games now, and it's unlocked this gift mode in options. You can boost the amount of lives you have in Challenge Mode for the cost of 500 points, and you can unlock the movies from the story mode for 1000 points a pop, and the end credits are unlocked also for 100 points.

I have finished Super Monkey Ball 2! That Revolutions stage only took me two goes! Meh, not so hard after all! Some of the stages in the game depend on luck to get to the goal anyway, so meh! I did it!

And Mario, I think you're closer to getting yourself a copy of Super Monkey Ball 2!

Well, the only possible spoiler I could pick out was the fact that they show Link when he's actually getting his 'Hero of Time' costume. Even though most of us already know that.

Heh, unexpected day today. Ended up going over a mates place, and I decided to bring my GameCube, he had a few of his friends from TAFE round (who I didn't know, but yeah, now do..)

We had an absolute BLAST playing 4-Player Smash Bros and such. None of them are really 'true' gamers, but one of em' was so impressed by SSB:M he's going to get himself one, I recommended the Metroid Pak, and that Smash Bros. was now only $50, he was pretty keen on that price =P

And I got to leech off the cable internet while I was there. Damn, dial up is so depressing now...
Downloaded the FFX-2 OST, Star Ocean 3 OST, Final Fantasy Unlimited OST, a few episodes of Initial D, Real Bout Highschool and got some porn.

All in about an hour and a bit...
*Cries*

Oh yeah, and I was stuck with my stink pants faulty 3rd party GC controller the whole time. Boo-urns.
That's my good deed for the year, letting others use the good controllers....

I'm away from this thread for a couple days, and whoa, I'm lost in the shuffle...

Oh, man, one week to go.  Sad, but true.  I'm gonna play OoT first since I've never played it.  And blast, Skies of Arcadia Legends comes out on the same day.  I'll get this game after my exams, and will need to be alone with it for a week, singing "I love SEGA!".  Then I'll play TWW after that.  I need a Zelda break after OoT (I finished A Link to the Past 2 weeks ago), before I play TWW.  What a long wait it will be.

Infernal Monkey, would you mind sharing with us the porn you downloaded?

I'm gonna see X-Men 2 tonite!  yee-ha!

That sucks man.
NEW PC GET! GAME OVER!

I wish you a speedy fixing upper. Then Windows can screw everything up! Mmmmmm. Windows ME f*cked this entire PC up within three days, damn Microsoft is skilled.

And AiAi, it's a wonderful DivX encoded porno flick, and it has a storyline going through it, which is total rubbish, because they act for a few minutes, say their lines with about as much flair as a dead cat, then get down to the sex.
'Bout a doctor, and he basically, well, you know, has sex with everybody that enters. Nobody seems to have any problems though, which is odd. Why would they go see him?

Actually, there's like five doctors, a few nurses, and a whole bunch of sexy young woman who go see them. "MMMM, THE CURE FOR YOU IS SEX!"

"OKAY DOCTOR!"

"GIVE ME LOTS OF KISS!"

"OOOOOOOHHHHH"

Porn is teh bomb!
Not that I have any of course

I'm so desperate to get a GBA SP, I'm gonna enter that comp in D-Mag. You have to design a cover! You win the GBA SP and Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. And FHM has a comp where you win an XBox with DOAXBV, with 10 other XBox games, a DOAXBV calender, and other stuff! I'm gonna enter it, trade in the XBox and games, and that's 400-500 bucks in me pocket for Nintendo stuff!

Infernal Monkey, wow, interesting porn clip from the way you discribed it!
Termin8Anakin, any guy who says doesn't download porn has his nose growing!

And blast.  Tonight was a waste.  My friend who organised the 8-10 of us to see X-Men didn't get the tickets and were sold out.  Then we spent over 30 minutes arguing whether to see the 11pm screening, so which some of us went to the JB HI-FI store and some strange guy came up to us, giving out promo for about some dude speaking at a Church (which I said was the highlight of the night!).  And by the time we lined up, it was sold out.  So we got tickets for Saturday night.

Post by: Termin8Anakin on May 02, 2003, 06:47:17 AM
Well, that's the problem with seeing it on a Friday night (and the weekend for that matter). I saw it on Wednesday, during the day. A school day. There was no line. We were the first to but the tickets (only 5 minutes before the movie started). When we got in, and just as the movie started, THEN did the cinema get packed.
I'll do the same with The Matrix Reloaded. See it on Friday, during the day. It will be probably be packed from all the kids skipping school, but it's still better than having hoards of them with all their girl/boyfriends and their friends.

It's so weird hearing all these stories of sold out tickets cause I've seen movies on their first day of release over the years, and not once were the tickets sold out. There were large crowds, but no ticket was sold out. You guys had any problems like this at Burwood, Bankstown or the City, cause I sure haven't.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on May 02, 2003, 05:04:59 PM
Heh, you wanna see any movie at any time without any fools around? Come to Blacktown cinemas. It's a crap hole. The screens are small-ish, compared to the likes of Parra, the City and Penrith, and for that reason, nobody goes to the cinemas here. So there's NEVER anybody around.

I saw LOTR on launch day here with a bunch of mates, and there was only three other people in the cinema =D

And woo! Avatars!
This Sonic one I made myself, sorta. Just cut Sonic's head from the Sonic Shuffle box-art, and it's also my avatar over at Hyperactive, and they host the avatars on their server, so I linked it to here =P

Crap, this Sprite advert is slowing my PC down to a crawl, I don't even see what I'm typing till it's too late.. Ah well.

*Goes back to spinning around on chair*

*Falls off*

OH YEAH! I got talking to one of the guys at EB, and he hinted strongly that they'll be selling Zelda either Wednesday or Thursday, Australia wide.
A typical EB move, selling the games before the street date. It's a good thing and a bad thing....
I actually hope they stick with the actual launch date. I've already made it quite clear to friends and family that they can f*ck off and leave me alone on Friday...

HAPPY ZELDA DAY IT IS!

also DOTY!!!!!!!! DEAL OF THE YEAR, i couldn't belive this, i still think i read the sign wrong, Zelda WW OoT MQ + Gamecube for $99!!! at eb

Yeah I know! I saw it a few days ago!!!!!

I mean, $99????? SH*T that is a REALLY GOOD DEAL!
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: RABicle on May 02, 2003, 08:51:28 PM
Thats gotta be a misprint or has a 2 in front of the 99. I mean i dished out $99 on metroid yesterday (yes I know, I only just got it)

Actually it's lookign good for Zelda. I preordered it yesterday when i bought Metroid, not only did the store have a demo unit with people on it, playing zelda (including kids that needed to be wrestled away) but they already had about 20 other people before me preorder it. And all this is in a region where Nitnedo has no advertising whatsoever outside of instore demos. I was quite pleased.

And the avatars are cool. Can you belive mine is 16kb! i have some other, more colourful ones that are only 4kb, but gifs arn't compressed enough. i tried making all 4 of my avatars animate but i couldn't compress it enough without it looking like poo.

As for porn, well. I can honestly say that i have none stored on my computer.
Disect that statment as you wish.

OK since we're all doing it this is my day.
7:00 get woken up by evil boarding staff
7:30 get out of bed eat weetbix.
8:30 wander up to school, talk to fellow cubers at 'the table and brag to the xbox owner" wish everyone a happy zelda day.
8:40 School starts, ignore all lessons in anticipation of zelda.
3:20 School ends, rush to boarding get my essentials into bag and catch bus back home
3:35 Try to get into Laura Gaskell's pants while on bus.
4:45 Get home, cry when I relise that I wont be getting Zelda today. Eat food and play metroid prime until dinner to drown away my sorrows.

It's all boarding schools fault. it's also Nintendo's fault for not advertising in regional WA and not sending games to local Harvey Norman on regular basis (My prime still hadn't arrived after i ordered it (BEFORE LAUNCH) so i thought fuckit and bought it from nearby City of Bunbury (that has enough people which mean enough nintendo devotees to have large stocks of cube stuff, my town only does custom orders, and it's not worth it cos they arrive so late.) So yea my zelda will be coming from bunbury, I've put my name down for it. I'll probably get it saturday which mean I'll have half of OH NO! I just relised I have a hockey game saturday! ARGH!! and in the worst possible time. 10:30 which means I wont have enough time to get zelda before or after the game.

Looks liek I'll be going zeldaless for a while. i wont be able to play my cube in boading either!

Thanks a lot Infernal Monkey.  I now have my avatar load up from my HD on SigUp.com.  Yeah, I know it's hardly original (it's the same one from the ezboard), but it now makes me a complete monkey.  And I look like a happy cheerful person.  Excellent!

X-Men was really good.  I really liked Lady Deathstrike and it would've been nice if she had more of a role in the movie.  I like Asian chicks!

Anyway, Saturday during lunch, I went to my local EB, looking for some PSOne games.  There's like 4 games I'm looking for (RPGs), and they had none, despite the fact they had like 100 used games.  The only RPG was FFVIII.  WTF?  Don't any Australian PS owners play any other RPGs not named FF?  Looks like my only hope is ebay.

My Zelda Day:
6:58am - Wake Up.
7am - Have breakfast whilst watching Pokemon.
9am - Drive to Funland Games at 140km/h in 50km/h zones.
9:03am - Get Zelda and run back to car screaming like girl in orgasmic cries of joy.
9:05am(!) - Get home and play Zelda.

And since everyone's at work/school, I will have the whole house to myself. BUt for the poor Jehovah's Witness fellow that might come knock on my door, you will be greeted by my Sais of death.

9.20am: yells at EB staff to give me the game
9.21am: holds game up in the air a la Link and weeps
9.22am: runs to car
9.24am: speeds down highway, being chased by the cops at 150kph *Die you pigs!*

Tell me about it..
That's all you ever see on PSone, Final Fantasy... No wonder Enix gave up on Australia, mainstream gamers will only ever play FINAL FRIGGIN FANTASY GAMES!

Pokemon is the only RPG I've ever been interested in. Random battles just doesn't appeal to me. A real time adventure is what I like, which is why I prefer Zelda, and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles looks pretty interesting.

Hey guys, i really have to keep checking this thread! I've missed so much. Damn you work!

I saw that $99 Zelda promo, and there is a catch - you have to trade in a PSX and 10 PSX/N64 games! But you do get a Cube, and the WW/OoT/MQ pack!

And I have my avatar up! Check the shifty monkey (sorry infernal, but there's more than one monkey in this town!) It's the monkey from TS2

I'd go and see the Matrix: Reloaded this week, but I have a stack of work, and Zelda to play, so I'll put it off for a while. I saw X-Men 2 last night - that is a wicked movie. You definitely need to see the first one to understand the humans-vs-mutants theme of X-Men, but apart from that it is a top-class action movie. Wolverine is still my favourite character, but I'm waiting for a Gambit appearance. I didn't like that final twist in the movie (those who've seen it will understand) but something doesn't smell right about it. And the defection just sucked - man i liked that guy too. Oh well, I can cheer for the bad guy too!

Yeah, I figured.  Some of my friends who have a PSOne, the only RPG they know is FF.  *sign*  And I'm not interest in FF, I feel it is overhyped and overrated.

Guys, wouldn’t it be cool if the following happened?

10.00am, 9th May 2003
Live from Parliament House via television and radio:

PM John Howard
“Today, Nintendo Australia and I would like to welcome a special guess from Kyoto, Japan.  This special guess works for Nintendo and has flown over to make a special announcement.  Some of you may know him as the man who is a f**king *bleep* genius.  The man who is a legendary game designer.  The man who created King Kong, errrrrrr sorry, I meant, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda.  I present you, Shigeru Miyamoto.”

*Sony and Microsoft grumble*

Shigeru Miyamoto
“Thank you Mr. John Howard, or if you may, George W. Bush’s Sidekick.  And thank you Nintendo Australia for having me.  It is my pleasure to be here in Australia to celebrate the release of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for Nintendo GameCube.  I am proud to announce that today, 9th of May 2003 is National Zelda Day.  I encourage all video game fans and least not forget, loyal Nintendo fanboys nationwide, to treat this day as a national holiday.  Our Australia Nintendo fans deserve this special day, for all the painful suffering they went through for having to wait for the PAL release.  Forget about school or work, or other plans you had for today.  And if your girlfriend does not like it, dump her.  Too many things in life get in the way of our precious gaming time and today, you have the chance to spend the day with Zelda.  Go to your local video games store, shell out your hard earned cash for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and enjoy the experience the game will give you.  Immerse yourself into a world as you take control of Link.  Call your loved ones and get them to sit with you as you play the game.  And most important of all, *raises fist into the air a la Link*, ZELDA GET!  Thank you.”

*Girls squeal as they yell out: “I love you Shiggy!” and "Shiggy me up!"*



We can only dream…

Hahahaa, good one.

We need a loyal Nintendo fanboy as prime minister. I mean Bob kawke said the famous words "Any boss would be a bum for sacking any employee who didn't come to work tomorrow" after we won the america's cup. So if he cold declare a national holiday just because he was into sailing then a nintendo fanboy prime minister could do too!

I just called EB hoping they would say zelda is coming out before friday. No luck...

It comes out on Friday... oh well at least it doesnt stuff up the whole countdown thing ive got goin on. 4 MORE DAYS!

Post by: Shift Key on May 04, 2003, 09:35:31 PM
Mmm, very nice. Curse you all, people getting in early. I should really go to uni on Friday, but I'm undecided about attending the last lecture and getting the game 2 hours early!

*cleaner wades in through drool*

And I believe FF is over-rated too. I'm going back to the old-school RPGs at the moment, like Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger.

Yay for pixels!
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: RABicle on May 04, 2003, 10:57:07 PM
Well I'm going into boarding in about half an hours time. And the chances of me getting the game on Friday are extroadinarily slim.

And shifty i think you should just forget about uni on friday, just go play zelda.

i dont have anything to DO until friday. well, maybe hook up with this chick, but if that falls through....NOTHING.    

jeez... this is almost as tedious as waiting a few days before the new zelda comes out. OH MY GOD! i AM waiting for the new zelda to come out, and i AM incredibly bored. HOORAY for that!

i went out and measured the grass on the front lawn a minute ago. its grown a whole hundreth of a millimeter in only 5 minutes!!! THATS TODAYS RECORD!!!!!

WOW!! this paints coming along nicely.  almost dry... IMPRESSIVE!

Well, not.. Really. But I too am FUKKING BORED. I'd prefer rusty pins in my eyes than this sitting around and waiting. I guess.

*Comes back with blood pouring from eye sockets*

I was wrong.

And woo! The EB near me is doing a MIDNIGHT LAUNCH FOR ZELDA!
Call yor EB's! Alot of them are doing it!

Oh yeah, Termin8, that was the Euro box. Hopefully ours will be the exact same thing.

im 'lucky' to have 2 full shifts at work wednesday and thursday, so like yay me, got something to keep me ocupied untill zelda is out, unless i go nuts... well.. more nuts and start attacking customers with salami
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on May 05, 2003, 07:24:44 PM
Not salami!!

*Runs and hides behind a big glass sliding door*

I hardly ever get called into work now, which is good and bad. Good because the place was a sh*thole, and I only ever had 12 hour shifts, bad, because I guess I'll have to go out there and try and get a 'real' job.

Bah. I'll just live inside my head.
Yay! I'm in the land of chocolate!

I'm bored as hell too. I haven't touched my Gamecube since i finished SUper Monkey Ball 2 last week. Makes the wait do much more worth it. But until then, I think I'm actually gonna actually have to do some study for uni.
I have uni all day tomorrow and thursday, so that'll keep me occupied. Today, though, is another story.
Probably the highlight was when I made some fried rice for lunch then watched Friends and Malcom in the Middle, but that's it.

This waiting period is NOTHING compared to the amount of exclamation marks that are going to appear on friday.
I also think that this thread will have no more post until late next week (after we all exclaim that we've got it and die of excitement).

EDIT: I'll drop by the gamestore tomorrow and check on my Zelda pre-order's condition.

two days people. two days.

And have a look in this month's Ralph mag!
They gave Metroid Prime a 5/5 rating! It's the best game this month in the mag! To make it even better, they also reviewed Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, and only gave it 3/5!
I thought they were biased toward DOA since they are a mens mag, and DOA features semi-naked women, but I guess their reviewers are smart guys after all!

Metroid is making heads turn. Nintendo and Retro should be congratulated!

Im gonna be sitting at school with Wind Waker in my bag thinking "OMFG ZELDA TEH WIND WAKER!!1 I HAVE IT BUT I CANT PLA IT OMFG FFS HURRY UP AND FINISH STUPID SCHOOL!"

*im sitting in class on Zelda day, teacher approaches me*
Teacher: Have you done your homework young man?

School? What is this school you talk about?
I don't have school! I don't have Uni either! I'm free! Free!
No sitting there waiting for clock to hit 3:20pm. No waiting for the bus to come late at 3:35pm, no getting home at 4pm and yell that I can play Zelda only to be told to study for the HSC like I should.

Yeah. It's good times for me.

"Attention!! There is a nuclear bomb on the top of the Centerpoint Tower! If you want to prevent a nuclear war, you will find every kid in school who has a Gamecube and has pre-ordered Zelda and release them from their prisons...ahem....schools. Only then will we stop this bomb from going off!"

And after every kid is at home playing Zelda and bragging about it to their friends, we'll bomb Sony and Microsoft HQ.

And this a joke, by the way, to the NSW Government Official who is browsing this forum and NOT DOING THEIR JOB!

Hey, anybody got the latest K-Mart catalogue? They've actually advertised Zelda! *SHOCK*
That's pretty rare these days, seeing K-Mart advertise GameCube (Apart from when they do the 20% off GC sales)

It's $89.95

I was going to suggest you take it in to EB when you all pick up Zelda, for a price match (They do price match when you've pre-ordered too) but the K-Mart sale doesn't start till Sunday, so EB would have a cry if you try it on Friday....

They've also got Zelda bundles (not offical Nintendo bundles) A Jet GameCube and Zelda for $279
Not bad at all, considering a GC is $289 by itself there =)

ALSO, the shot of the box in the catalogue doesn't feature any "LIMITED EDITION" on the front. Interesting.

Fellas, guess what. I headed over to Bankstown just now to check on my pre-order for Zelda at Funland Games, and guess what? When the lady checked, my name wasn't in there!!! WHAAAA!
I told her that i pre-ordered it in February, and put a $10 deposit down. She showed me the book, and there was a Steve at the top, but it's not me! Being the absolutely wonderful person she is (and she knows me), she just put my name on the top of the list, and told me that she would check to see where my name is from before. Ahh, she's so nice.

She also told me that I might be able to get my hands on Zelda as EARLY AS TOMORROW AFTERNOON!!!!!!! Screw the midnight launches from EB! Hahaha! And the fact that that it's a family store is probably why they can't open that late anyways. I just have to give her a call tomorrow afternoon after uni, and she'll tell me if she got the shipments in or not. There was probably around 20 names on the list for Zelda, and she said she ordered 60 copies, but only might get 10! And since I'm on the top, well, lucky me. Hahahahaha!

And one important bit of news that she told me:
The limited shipments of bonus discs maybe aren't that limited. Remember the "limited edition" gold Zelda carts for N64? Think about that. Yeah baby, you probably didn't need to pre-order Zelda. But seeing so many people that want it is always a good sign. She told me that Nintendo just wants to create demand for the product, which is proabably how Ocarina of Time got into the Guiness Book or Records for the game with the highest amount of pre-orders ever - because of the "limited edition" gold cart. I think we that record's been toppled, by Wind Waker - because of the bonus discs.

Holy crap in a box? Tomorrow arvo? Your sig states what I want to type here ^_^
As for me, I'm attending EB Blacktown's mid-night launch, It'll be interesting to see how many actually turn up.

It'll have to be at least 20, I mean, why would they bother if it was only like 5 people? It's going to cost EB a sh*t load to open the store that late, think of the security needed for the mall at that time of night.

OR I could just be like usual and go "NAH TO LAZY NEED SLEEP INSERT SLEEP HERE PRESS START HAPPY SUPER FUN CLOSE EYELID MEGA DREAM NIGHTMARE WOAH FLOATING TIME!"
And get it Friday morning...

And I dunno about the limited thing, it could very well be as limited as Nintendo are making out. We are only getting the left overs from Europe...

That's a rather large amount of shocked faces there Mario.
IF I DO get it tomrrow arvo, well, there's gonna be an even larger amount of shocked faces when I update my site and have PHOTOS to prove it.
If I get it on Friday though, well, I'll still have photos, but then Infernal and others who are going to the midnight launches will already have gotten it. But, there's gonna be photos. If you guys want photos of your "Zelda-get" reactions on my site, just email em to me and I'll pop em on.

It's gonna be tomorrow or friday everyone, and we will have our legends well under way!

i just called up my local EB. theyre not having a midnight launch cause there is too much hassle and procedure required. i dont really care. however, i do care that EB never sells me stuff before the release. even if they have it!

' WE'RE EB!!! WE PLAY BY THE BOOK CAUSE WE ARE THE ELITE GAMING STORE!!!! GO EB!! GO POLICY!!!'

i mean, they sold me rogue leader about a week or two before the cube even came out! and now they are treating me like a regular joeyjo. WELL SCREW THEM! (even though im going to continue to buy nearly everything from them) it just felt good to say that.

theyre opening at 8am. but come to think of it, i dont really want to get up that early man. why couldnt they just open at 9. i dont want to get sh1t all sleep and then have to get up early to secure my precious zeldy. its pointless.

oh yeah, i dont understand this "we are getting the leftover bonus disks from europe" mentality.
did they only give the bonus disks to the people who preordered? or did they have a limited amount that they were allowed to sell, regardless of preorder? or did they have a cutoff date for the bonus disk? or is the word "bonus disk" eating away at my brain like maggots?! like MAGGETSS!!!!?!?!?!?!  or what?

A brilliant, dazzling wonder, no matter how you feel about Link’s new pants. It stretches tried-and-true Zelda gameplay where change was due, and leaves it alone where it’s always worked. If this game doesn’t make you happy, then it’s physically impossible for you to be happy.

I'll definitly been attending the EB midnight launch!  I finish uni. at 11.30am on Thursday, so I'll have a nap in the afternoon to get ready for my all night session!

I've got bad news.  My family is having visiters on Friday night.  My parents best friends are going away, and their kids are coming over for dinner.  The problem is that 3 of the 4 kids love my consoles (since they don't have one), and I don't wanna share on Friday night. Why did it have to be this Friday?  It is not fair.  It is not just fair.  What did I do to deserve this?

Guys, can you please mark Wind Waker spoilers on this thread (if there will be any).  Please?  Beause I'll be playing Ocarina of Time first.  Yeah, 4.5 years too late.  Better now than never.

AiAi, I was gonna start a thread in Hylian Legends for us Aussies with Wind Waker, but it would just be the same as this thread as this one, since all we would talk about from now on would be about Zelda, and therefore, this thread would be non-existent.

But yeah. Everyone, just mark spoilers with 'SPOILER' in bold and italic.
And AiAi, if you don't want to read spoilers, just don't come here. It's also a shame that you ain't played Ocarin of Time yet. Shame on you.
Just remember, if you take some photos of Zelda, put em up on your sites (if you have one), and we can all bask in our glory!

Just one more day everyone! Just over 25 hours left!

Oh, and I'm not gonna go straight into Zelda either. I'm gonna see what Ocarina of Time and Master Quest are like first.
Then I'm gonna go rent Mario videos, and have a Nintendo day, all by myself. *sob*

Haha, yeah, I'll have some kind of magical solo Nintendo day. I'll also be checking into the bonus disc before I whack in WW. Need to check what bonus videos we get!

And that sales chart is SAD.
Only 77 people Australia wide bought the bloody Metroid Prime Pak?

Bah, I went into EB this morning to bitch and winge to the guy about if they were going to sell Zelda this arvo.

NOPE

And although I would like getting Zelda at mid-night, I just don't think I'll be going. Too much hassle, and besides, it's not as if I'd be able to play it loud when I got home, parents would do Hulk Smashes on me or something

So yeah, I'm waiting till tomorrow. They're opening up at 8:30 AM tomorrow, just for Zelda. I love EB ^_^

Man, I haven't been this hyped for a game since GTA III back in 2001 ;_;

WHATZUP BOYZ?!?!!

my avatar is teh GONE!

do any of you host any avatars that i could use whoever gave me the link for that kirby pic. SHAME ON YOU. look at me now.. LOOK AT ME NOW!!!!....

HOLY SH1T! those aussie sales figures are shocking!! im worried that nintendo might pull out of australia alltogether! wouldnt THAT be bad. we'd have to import from europe when we wanted nintendo stuff. the thing that pisses me off is that its totally unjustified. people just dont think that nintendo is cool. i think its also due to the fact that the xbox came out before the cube so people were like, "whoa! im just gonna go out and get the "new cool thing" cause im a dumbass. i have xbox now, it has teh powerful hardware! it is the MAN's console. i have halo now. i havent finished it though cause im a hardcore gamer. unlike those nintendo wimps".

Man, that's just sad. It outsold Halo too. Why not just call it GTA3.5, because I'm sure they won't notice.

As for Zelda, I'm going to have to wait until after Uni to get it. After a free BBQ with free beer, i plan to go to one more lecture(and pay attention? not really), then go and get WW. Interesting!?!?! I'll see where I end up!

Super Happy Shine Fun Zelda Get Day! Woo!

Zelda is teh bomb!
It's so gorgeous!
It reminds me A LOT of Pokemon, the cartoon series.

My only complaint is that even though the graphics style is absolutely prefect for the game, it's just a tad blurry. You'll notice it on long sessions, especically.

The Bonus disc, along with OoT and MQ, has three videos: a trailer for Metroid Prime, a trailer for A Link to the Past, and a video montage of games on Gamecube, although they're all outdated.

Ocarina of Time is very clear, and you HAVE to play it on 60MHz. The crap thing is that the use of the DVD is all too obvious. I can only imagine it as if the NIntendo 64 was a CD-based console. Saving is a bit of a pain, and the 30 fps is too obvious. The sound capabilities are all but amplified on a DVD medium, and the midi sounds really over the top (eg, listen as the Deku Tree is dying).

Progress in Wind Waker: Just about to board the Pirate's ship to rescue Aryll.
Progress in Ocarina of Time: Just entered Hyrule Field, talking to Kaepora Gaebora (the owl - is that how u spell his name?)
Progress in Master Quest: None. Ain't gonna do it until I finish OoT.

Wind Waker is the greatest cartoon I have ever played! And I'm sure it's going to be the greateset adventure as well.
The epilogue is fantastic. I LOVE the story telling element.

Well, good luck y'all in getting Zelda tonight (and tomorrow)!
And Mario! This is my PAYBACK for you getting Metroid Prime early!
HAHAHAHA!

Hey Guys, sorry I havent posted recently, I just moved into baording school and it's taklen me ages to get my internet connection runnniung and then when it did I had to put up with my browser chrashingevery 5 minutes (No Joke) Anyway I'm currently in our homework time with one of the schol laptops, which work proper so I'm glad I can spend this lovely Zelda Day eve with you guys. I hope you all get the game tomoorw (if not allready) and have fun with it. I wont be able to get my hands on the lovely gold case until Saturday, friday will seem like an eternity.

Abouyt the Wind Waker graphics being blurry, im pretty sure it's an intentional effect in that the camera isn't focused on objects in the distance. It's strange that they include such a realistic effect in a cartoony game but ohwell, wait for it to be used ina  realistic looking game.
partially focused cameras is probably the only rthing stopping games from true photo realism because in real life and in photos your eyes or the lens cannot focus on the entire picture, just a small area. I'm guessing it wont be too long before 90% of games feature a similar effect.

Anyway happy gaming to ya.

Well, It's sunny right now, and I've been playing Zelda since yesterday. My legs are so numb right now. This is the first break I've taken. I think I'll go get some Maccas.

And a Happy Zelda Day to everyone!
I'm up to the Forbidden Forest now. Very cool (the game is pretty nostalgic - I've seen heaps of references to Ocarina of Time).
The graphics and the atmosphere of the game have all but taken over my central nervous system. The best cartoon ever!

I feel sorry for Mario, since he's gotta waitall through school before he gets to play Zelda. Hahaha.
But I'll see you guys tonight.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on May 08, 2003, 07:45:20 PM
woo! Happy Zelda Day all!

The mid night launch was erm, how shall I put it.... Crap? Yes, it was rather sad. I got to the mall at about 11:30, to find the font doors locked. A print out on the door had "Zelda launch, EB. Please make your way to the back entrance of mall"

*Sad face*

So I walk round the back, and go in. Rather freaky, all the lights were on, and every shop was lit up, even though they were shut. The escalators were shut off (cheap bastards, make me walk up them!)

I get to the second floor, EB's all lit up, and open! =O, I go!
I hurry over, to find about 20 or so people standing around the shop, playing Sly Racoon on PS2, mulling, talking. They all smiled when I enter, "Yay, another!" one yelled.

I look about. The so called 'pizza and drinks' was just some cold mini- Pizza Hut pizza's that must have been bought from the food court at like, 5:00 PM -_-
The soft drink was hot, too.

I was the only way to dare and eat the pizza =P, hey, it's free!

Soon after, they switched on the GameCube, with... Sonic Adventure 2 in it. We all yelled at the EB guys, they laughed, and switched it to.. The Zelda demo disc -_-
I talked with some guy for a bit, we basically just said over and over we love Zelda, but in different ways. These people were freaky. There was even a little dude there, looked about 10? Eep.

Then we started complaining, it was so close to 12:00 by that time, we wanted Zelda THEN! AT 11:55! FIVE MINUTES WAS TOO LONG FOR A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO LOOKED LIKE THEY'D KILL SOMEBODY FOR THE GAME!

Bam, 12:00 rolls around. There's cheering. Then we stand in a big line. OOhhh, exciting.
I get up there, "Happy Zelda day!" I say, some laugh. But most of the people had left, as they ran off as soon as they got their copies.

I almost died when the dude hands me the shiny sexy box, we all cheer. Some go over and get some pizza, and f**k off.

There were no special hand outs, no posters ( ;_; ) no free jet powered skateboards for attending. Bah.

I get a taxi home, and by that time I'm pretty f**cked over. I get home, open the case, excited. Read the instructions, then realize I can't play it till this morning because everybody's asleep. And I need to play it loud, or not at all!

So I wake up this morning, have a shower, get food, and whack in the bonus disc. The movies lame, but hey. Whatever. Played a bit of OoT, smiled at the retro goodness.

Then put in WW...

HOLY S**T.
I got goosebumps upon witnessing that fantastic title screen sequence. THE GAME IS PURE MAGIC. It's like i'm living in a cartoon, fantastic stuff. But yeah, the graphics are a tad blurry. I think they went a bit crazy with the heat effects in the background. But, still. BEST GAME EVER =D

I love how you can knock cups and plates around until the fall and shatter. It's the little touches that get me.
The soundtrack is great too. That wind town (I've already forgotten it's name -_-), the music is a remix from a town in Link to the Past! I couldn't believe it!

It's hilarious when your little dude gets near to death, too. He pants, looks exhausted, and it generally makes everything more funny, somehow.

=D

OH MY FORKING GOD
GAME OF THE MILENIUM!!!!!!
this is my first break since 9:00 when i started playing, and as you can see its now 4:30

i haven't eaten, i haven't urinated, i only breathed 2-3 times

i went up to eb with my planetgamecube shirt on, and one of the attendants (from what he said the only gamecube fan out of all the employees :\) said "with that shirt on doesn't take a genious to work out why you are here" i just laughed, we were saying stuff about nintendo and the lack of australian fans, he was trying to get everyone who had put a pre order on to switch that to a different game and pay for zelda in full, which i did and have now pre ordered skies of arcadia which is out 9th of june. but still OMG i cant belive the wind waker
joy!

im just passed the forbidden forest, thats all i'll say, no spoilers

geez.. i just realised i haven't even tried the master quest yet! oops that can come later, yargh! ive gone 10 minutes without playing zelda! byebye!
yarrrrrrrgh

edit: OMG i forgot the little kid on Outset Isle with the huge ass snot hanging out his nose classic! also. i want a pair of pajama's like links, they are cool

Ah, how sweet that game is. Game of the Year, hands down. Just passed the first dungeon (deja-vu of OoT?) and here's some comments (spoiler free of course):
- The visuals are amazing. This is how cel-shading is supposed to be done.
- Link's facial actions are a great addition - keep an eye on the variety in the game.
- The sounds in combat are also awesome (in sync with your attacks - stylish!)

More later, now back to this!

Guys, I don't have time to type everything that happened last night and today....

The only reason I'm on the net is to get an important email.

Anyway, Ocarina of Time is OMG!  I can't believe I didn't play this over 4 years ago.  OMG!  I love playing the ocarina.  And fishing.  OMG!

And I played Wind Waker for half an hour.  OMG, the toon-shading looks really good and creates a believable world.  Yeah, gotta get back!  More Zelda....

Post by: RABicle on May 09, 2003, 01:47:55 AM
Thanks for not posting any spoilers guys, I runined Majora's mask for myself by reading everything about it before playing it, I dont ever want to do that to another Zelda game again.

Anyway I wished everyone at G-Block (an area of school where 70% of my year hangs out) a happy zelda day, most were confused, some laughed some just thought I was a loser etc. The guy I REALLY wanted to wish a happy zelda day, because he abandoned the cube and bougth an xbox because of the look of zelda, wasn't there because he had a maths test and therefore wagged school. Hopefully he was actually taking the day off to buy the Zelda bundle, he's showed interest in the cube recently but I doubt it. Oh yeah, one of my friends who is currently cubeless (wants one) wished our english teacher a very happy zelda day, she had no idea what he was on.

Lastly, it looks like I might be able to get Zelda, tomorow afternoon. What will be painful will be the 45 minute car ride back before I can play it. GODAMN living in rural areas. Goddamn Harvey Norman (scapegoat, but they stock F**K all cube gear)

Anyway, what are you guys doing reading this? Get back to Zelda!

On a very final note, I'm at home cos it's the weekend. i cant take my cube into boarding and i only have one more weekend at home, till next schol holidays. Who should I give the honor of lending my cube too during that time?
The nominees are:
My Best Friend - Doesn't really show much intrest in console gaming but wouldn't mind. Doesn't care bout zelda.
My Neihbours - Like my cube more than their PS2 but PS2 has DVD playback so their parents ony let them get it. Dont play many video games, except they love Zelda
That guy at school that tured to teh dark side - Is considering buying a cube, I might just have to cement that decision in his mind, would be smart enough to manage my meory cards properly. Likes zelda games although hates the cel shading.
Other possible candidates include the guy who wished our englsh teacher a happy zelda day, or just keep the thing myself.

Post by: mikep on May 09, 2003, 04:12:15 AM
Hey guys,
Just found this Aussie thread recently, so it's my first post here. Anyway let me tell you about my Zelda adventure this morning. I was dumb enough not to pre-order, thinking that there should be plenty of Zeldas available with plenty of bonus disks, given that the Gamecube isn't doing too well in Australia.
Went to my local EB around 11am this morning in Highpoint (for those of you that are in Melbourne and know it). They had no Zeldas on the Gamecube shelves. I asked the dude and he brought one out from the back. He said that since I didn't pre-order, the bonus disk was not included but I could buy it extra for another $50 on top of the $99 for Zelda. On top of the that he showed the Zelda case and the spine was yellow with a small EB logo and PRE-OWNED along the length of the spine in large black letters. He said that the disk was new, but they had to put pre-owned on it because they had "handled" the cases. I didn't bother asking - but I guess "handled" meant taking out the bonus disk out so they could sell it separately. I said yeah, riiiiiiight to the dude and told him I'd try my luck elsewhere.

Then went to Toys 'R' Us and Target and they didn't have it on the shelves. Didn't bother asking for it.
Went to BIG W, they had a single copy on the shelves - not the game, just a plastic anti-theft case with the Zelda paper insert in it. It was going for $93. I'm sure they probably had more out back. Said screw this.

Went downstairs, to Video GamePlay - they had them behind the counter with the bonus disk sticker on the cover.
I asked the dude if they were still selling it with the bonus disk. He said he had plenty left and had no problem giving me one with the bonus disk. Got it for $99.

Just stopped playing it now.

Anyway I can understand Nintendo saying that the bonus disks were for pre-orders. But obviously they didn't sell out the pre-orders. What the hell were they going to do with the extras? Why not give them out with Zelda until they run out. Don't know what EB did was nationwide or just at the Highpoint store, but it's pretty grubby trying to charge $50 for the bonus disk. Not to mention the large PRE-OWNED label for a new game. I don't know whose idea it was EB's or Nintendo Australia's - but it was pretty dumb.

I've bought quite a few GameCube and PC games as well as my GBA-SP from that store. I reckon they just lost themselves a customer.

Mike

Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on May 09, 2003, 03:01:13 PM
Oh man. That was my longest Zelda session - no, gaming session evah!
I just got off from playing since yesterday afternoon. My dad made an extension cord for the headphones for the living room, so nobody knew I was playing until they woke up. Hehe.

I LOVE THIS GAME! Just like INfernal said, there are so many little touches like being able to  break the cups and dishes. Another little touch I noticed was the way all the shrubery movies int he wind, and when you walk over the grass, it flattens out. My fave dungeon so far just has to be the one in th eForbidden Forest. If you haven't gotten up to here yet, you will agree that the boss is the best animated thing ever. I think even Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks have some REAL competition now in the form of Nintendo! I don't want Zelda to ever change again!
Of course, I can say that cause I finished it like 10 hours ago, and now I'm just exploring the seven seas, finding treasure if I just happen to find the little whirl of light.
Oh, and Infernal, It's Windfall Island. And everyone, you really should go to the auction in the Mayor's House. After you get the sail, just sail for a bit until it's night time, then go to the bottom floor. I think it's the best mini-game this side of the real thing! And who else finds Battleshi...er...Battlesquid addictive? Haha. *Splish* - *Kabooom* - *Hooray! Yay!* The same guy (or his brother  or something) runs another mini-game just west of Windfall Island. Check it out. It's cool as well, but sets you back a hefty 50 rupees. He too does a bit of role-playing. Haha.

And I love the parry moves. So cool to watch.

I think this is the funniest moment so far:

******SPOILERS********



The part on Dragon Roost Island where you have to throw Medli onto the ledge above you using the wind is f**king funny when you miss and she bumps her head into the cliff. Haha. Eyes spinning out and stars flying around: "Why what beautiful stars!"

And who else thinks the Wind Waker baton is the best thing ever this side of the Ocarina? Haha.

WHOA!!! HOLY SH!T!!! I just realised ive been playing Wind Waker for the last 24 hours!!! And is it the best game evah or what! DAYUM! Man, the graphics are the best ive ever seen and the world is so frickin HUGE! I LOVE THIS GAME!!

Yesterday (holy crap its been a day already!) i got Wind Waker from EB at about 11am, my friend was gonna buy a Gamecube and Wind Waker but they were sold out, haha i just laughed at him. Then i went back to school and went throught what was the most anxious, restless, painful 4 hours i have ever experienced in my life! I was just sitting there in class watching the seconds tick by, 1...2...3...4...argh i was going insane! Every couple of minutes i opened my bag and looked at Zelda sitting there not being played. At 3pm i was FINALLY let out of class, i ran to the bus stop and.... missed the bus So i waited FORTY MINUTES for the next one -____- Finally i got on the bus, and then in what seemed like an eternity, i finally got home at 5pm -_______- But it was worth it! OH MAN WAS IT WORTH IT!!!

I popped in Wind Waker, and WOAH! The title screen! Great music! Then i started my adventure, i LOVE the opening music thats playing with the heiroglyfics (yeah i know i spelled it wrong, im tired OK!). OMG the game is sooooo awesome! I love the sailing! I spent heaps of time sailing and finding secrets and treasure hunting its so much fun. I love the storms too! Im not very far actually, im only up to the *possible spoiler* forest place *end possible spoiler* but ive been exploring the HUGE world and just mucking around. Ive got 8 heart pieces already YAY!

Oh crap, i just realised i hadnt looked at the bonus disk yet... *pops in bonus disk*

WTF? Metroid Prime, LTTP and 'hot clips"??? eh? Wheres.... the other movies....
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Shift Key on May 09, 2003, 11:41:10 PM
Yeah, i had a look at the other disk. Why do they have old game - hell, I've got about half of those games, why do I want to see clips of them?

*shakes fish at screen*

That'll learn ya! *Cooks and eats fish* Mmm, delicious.

I think I've charged too far ahead, after hearing you guys are on eight hearts. I'm up to the third dungeon (urge to kill rising!!) and there are some very cool puzzles in there. Don't worry, I won't say much. *grins like the Grinch*
Was it just me or did those first two bosses give people deja vu to bosses in OoT? Especially the second one (in WW, not OoT).

You guys found Tingle yet? He looks even weirder than in MM. Happy hunting!

Hey, did you know Nintendo Australia f**cked us over with the movie clips on the bonus disc? Yeah. I was talking with a dude in France, and they got movies of 1080, F-Zero, Wario World, Metroid and the LttP movie.

Wonder why they felt the need to throw in a really old US advert (Hot clips), and a bad Metroid movie for Australia and New Zealand?

Ah well, whatever.
Having an absolute blast with Zelda, although I didn't get much time AT ALL, to play it today -_-
I'm currently back at Outset island, and I've spent a good deal of time sailing around the map, getting those damn fish to draw my map.

Oh yeah, is it just me, or is the game BLOODY HILARIOUS?! Know that dude who hosts that Battle Ship type game? BEST NPC EVER! =D

mikep - Yay, finally someone who's from Melbourne.  I live in Caulfield, you?


*AiAi comes back to Earth*  Sorry if this is heavy on the eyes, but it's worth the read.

Okay folks.  Now I've got time to explain in detail.  Thursday night, I went to the EB midnight launch at Chadstone shopping center.  Got there a few minutes before midnight, and man, the store was nearly packed!  I saw people with posters (don't know what it was), I guess they were given out earlier.  Shortly, the store was fall to the front.  Totally packed.  I have to say, maybe 60-80 people.  Hard to tell because there were kids with their parents.  The EB staff threw few stuff to the crowd (damn, they didn't throw in my direction), one looked like the inlay panel for the lid of your GC (which I already have), and some sort of belt strap.  Even people were buying the Zelda bundle.  OMG, Zelda is teh system seller.  After 15 minutes or so, I finally got my hands on the game!  I wanted to say "Happy Zelda Day" to the staff but didn't have the guts to.  Oh well.  So I began to go home by car, and something really freaky happend.  When leaving the shopping center, I stopped at the lights, attemping to turn right.  A car was on the right lane next to me, turning right as well.  When the lights turned green, as we turn, the other car spinned right into my lane.    No kidding.  It really freaked me out.  There was no accident, but damn there could have been.  At first, I thought the car span out of control due to rain earlier, but I realised that the road was pretty dried and the idiot drive did not turn fast at all.  In fact, after he span, he drove in the other direction (!), and turned into the slip lane behind me to turn left at the intersection.  It seemed that the idiot span his car on purpose.  What a jackass.

When I got home (after 1am), I put in the bonus disc, and watched the movie clip.  Damn, I was expecting more.  No F-Zero?  *sign*  Then I read the OoT manual, and began the game.  When the title screen first came up, I was moved.  Seeing Link ride the horse across Hyrule field made me realised it was going to be a special game.  And it was beautifully done.  So, I started playing and took me awhile to get used to contolling Link in the 3D world.  I really liked the first dungeon (big tree).  I stopped when I got to the castle.

So, I put in The Wind Waker to make sure the disc was working.  And bam!  When the title screen first came up, I fell in love with the game.  I loved the music and the toon-shading was awesome.  Like someone said, this is how it is done.  It creates a believable world, and makes you attached to the character.  Heck, I became attached to Link's sister.  She seemed so nice and lovely.  I couldn't help myself, and played for half an hour, stopped when Link's sister was kidnapped.  Anyone bothered by the little boy that follows Link on the home island.  I mean the one with the snot hanging from his nose!  Disgusting.  How could Nintendo approve this?  Next time I go out, I'll leave snot hanging out of my nose.  They seem to approve it.

So, yeah I went to bed at 4.30am.  And woke up at 10am naturally.  Yikes.  Played OoT all day Friday and mostly today (Saturday) and I'm loving every minute of it.  I'm not complaing about the port.  The load time is big when you start up, but minimal during the game.  Much less than I expected.  There's so many things you can do.  And how can I forget the chickens.  When carrying them, you can sort of fly!  How cool!  Yeah, I do kind of regret not owning a N64 and the game.  No wait, getting the bonus disc is way cheaper and makes me a smart businessman!  And that owl is freaking me out.  Buzz.  Off.  Wise guy.

Aw man, sounds like your mid night launch at EB rocked AiAi!

*Grumbles at crap launch night here*

Hey, anybody planning on getting Enter The Matrix? I got a nifty demo for it today on PS2. Very, very, very nice. I love what little I played of it. The bullet time kicks the crap out of Max Payne =)

Oh yeah, the GC version is going to take advantage of DivX for the video clips. I love Shiny Entertainment!

Post by: RABicle on May 10, 2003, 11:51:48 PM
Ok guys, a couple of things. i skipped through a fair few of the messages because I'm afraid of spoilers. thanks for the warning. but you know ick made a spoiler tage, when you post a possible spoiler type [ spoiler ] before it and  [ /spoiler ] after it (except without the gap between the bracket.) and it can obnly be read if highlighted.
Actually, I was quite disgusted, when i picked up the latest issue of Hyper! They only gave Zelda 97%! I mean, 97% is the same score they gave System Shock 2 and Perfect Dark and Deus Ex. Zelda deserves a way higher mark! But reading the 6 page review REVEALED A SPOILER!. And by the sounds of it a very BIG spoiler! Just so you guys dont ruin the game for youselves I would sugest you read upto the heading Sailing on the seas and start reading again on the next heading A certified classic. of course the spoiler they say in between there might not actually be true or is revealed increibly early in the game so it doens't matter. in eitehr case iw ouldn't know. because unless you havent figured it out. i'm Zelda-less. Right now Big W in Bunbury is hopefully reserving my copy, which hopefully includes a bonus disk. And hopefully Dad will get someone to pick it up for me tomoororw while I'm in boarding school
Honestly though, it's not that bad that I'm without Zelda. I'm still playing through Metroid Prime (nearly 40% through, 9 hours played) and I'm 14 hours into Pokemon. I'll never ever finish playing those games if i buy Zelda now. What is going to be hard though will be purchasing Soul Caliber 2, Skies of Arcadia legends and playing zelda:WW for th first time AND storming thorugh master Quest in 7 weeks as soon as I escape from Boarding school. If i can stay motivated and undistracted between thoose three games i should keep gaming away happily until mario kart, 1080 and F zero, whcih all seem to have release dates pointing at Xmas.
lastly, i'm not really interested in Enter The Matrix, the game went through development hell and I'm not sure if it came out alive. Hyper said some nice things about it in their preview, but ever since EA bribed hyper abouta  year back I've ad a little less trust their "hands on in depth previews"
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on May 11, 2003, 01:57:50 AM
ive never read an issue of hyper ever, only magazines i get are The Official Australian Nintendo Magazine (RIP) Nintendo Gamer (Formally 64 Gamer) and PC Power Play
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on May 11, 2003, 04:20:04 AM
Hyper is the only mag I buy these days =D

I've got every single issue of NMS (Even the ultra rare Pokem*, uh, issue number four! SHOCK)
Got a stack of N64 Gamers (Looking back, it was a rather terrible magazine! But it had humor, and that's why I kept buying it. I guess)

And yeah, used to buy Megazone (R.I.P) way back when it was a multi-format magazine ..

Wow, you can tell I'm bored? Can't play Zelda at the moment -_-

I've gone to every place on the map, and I'm just going around trying to get all the weapons and stuff.

And Shifty, if you're talking about the dungeon for the third pearl, sorry. There is no dungeon. There are like millions of little dunsgeons on all the little islands.
I actually got so far ahead of myself (I've already unlocked the dungeon that opens up when you place the three pearls on the statues), that I don't have hookshot, bow and arrow, Link's super sword swing attack - the one from the movies, the gauntlets (to pick up the stone heads) or the iron boots (at least I think they're iron boots - cause the fish talk about something that makes you unmovable for Gale Island). There are sooo many littel islands, it takes so long to go to them all and explore.


Well, thats my post for this week. See you soon.
I haven't touched Ocarina of Time since Thursday. And I haven't even seen Master Quest yet.

Termin8:I know that third pearl isn't a dungeon. Just a bit too short eh? I was referring to the Hero's Tower thingo. Another easy boss too. I really hope they get tougher. But I don't mind the whole exploring side of the game.
I've got the Master Sword now! Yay! I'm glad I didn't find out about the story before I got this game, because the plot twists and turns after returning to save my sister. Great stuff!!
Is there a hookshot? I thought the grappling hook was in place of it?
And the sages are back! Wicked!

For the rest of you, stop posting and play more Zelda. I'm only on because I've hooked my little brother, who said he wouldn't play it because of the graphics. Hah!

Well Since we're all doing it.
My Games List
Note my comments on Golden Sun and note my love for the 'Sim' series (before it turned mainstream)
Actually that collection isn't complete (missing SNES, GCN and GBC games), and it seems Ign moved some of my wanted list into my actual have list.

Anyway, my dad supposeadly got someone to pick up my copy of the windwaker today (Monday) and he got them to pester the shop people about bonus disks. Just what sort of numbers of bonus disks were there? Was every copy in this shipping limited or were there bonus diskless games out there?
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Shift Key on May 12, 2003, 04:23:32 AM
This is the line I got from EB - they get a few limited edition ones (with the bonus disk) that go to people with pre-orders first, then to whoever else. Not sure about prices, I've heard the LE ones are extra. When I went in on launch day, there was a stack of about 15-20 behind the desk.

Infernal: The Cement Factory G&W game was wicked. I used to have it (maybe I lost it, maybe I sold it) and that was my favourite game pre-consoles! I wish I still had it. The memories...

Haha, yeah, it can provide a surprising amount of fun!
I used to carry it around when I was a little dude, ah, the fun of not owning a Game Boy -_-

Did ya know Nintendo's re-released Mario's Cement Factory recently? Yep, and a whole bunch of other G&W's. They're heaps smaller, look alot like a really small GB, and cost around $15. Post Office's seem to be obsessed with selling them, so if you wanna pick one up, go there =D

Holy crap, how could I forget.. Anybody seen the ZELDA ADVERT ON TV? =D
Saw it once during Big Brother last night (Don't shoot me!) and once right before Cheez TV was about to start this morning.

It's pretty cool. Shows a real life Forbiddon Fortress, and talks about crap, then shows some game footage of Link sailing, using the leaf, and stuff. Then goes back to the real life footage to show a girl in robes (Link's sister) saying that Link's on this quest to save her. Then you get a box shot, an the announcer proclaims hurry, buy the Zelda pack for a limited edition including OoT and Master Quest. And below, it's got "LIMITED TIME"

Nice.

that's pretty cool.

Shifty:yeah, i think you'd be ahead of me now. I just got up to the Tower of the Gods when you posted. I thought that this was the end of the game, you know? I thought the tower was where you got the Triforce, and weher you battle Gannon and stuff. It just turns out to be another dungeon. My sh*t turned cold when the you go underwater, see Hyrule, get the Master Sword and Zelda comes is revealed! Man! I think that was the best level ever. And how cool was it  when it's all grey and lifeless, and wehn you pull out the sword, all the colour returns, man! I the temple was where i could finally get 10 knight's crest to get the hurricane spin! yeah baby! That thing is cool. Use it until it stops, without bumping into anything, and see how Link gets all cross-eyed! Haha! Right now, I'm just getting Medli to the Earth Temple, But I got more exploring to do.

Back to Zelda I go!
And The Matrix Reloaded is upon us!

I'm taking my time with OoT.  I've done two dungeons, but enjoying fishing at the moment.  And I'm collecting hearts as well.  Moooooo!!  This game is going to rank very high on my "best game I've played" list.  Very high.

glad you like it AiAi i know EXACTLY how you feel about fishing, its so fun! thats the one thing im missing from wind waker, fishing, i mean the whole world is covered in water! come on! could have tide a rope to the tiller and hung a line over the side
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Uncle Rich AiAi on May 12, 2003, 10:37:34 PM
No fishing in TWW?  That sucks.  I had fun last night, when I caught a 7 pound fish!  I know I can catch a bigger fish.  I almost got another big one, maybe 8 pounds, but it got away before I almost reeled it in.

I would never fish in real life since I find it cruel, but in a game, it's fun!  Now if I can continue with the story, I'm kinda stuck.

BTW, has anyone seen the Mario Party pack?  I saw it in a specialise games store yesterday (not EB), and it was a yellow box with Mario Party, a controller for about $30!  Can't remember the price exactly, and maybe something else is included in the box.  I seriously thought of buying it, a cheap way to get an extra controller for monkey ball, but the last thing I need is another game (and I don't really want mario party).

I'm just exploring at the moment, getting maps marked, fighting with the dojo guy, getting money, the usual classic Zelda stuff. I haven't really gone on because I think I'm going round in circles!?!?! Is it the southern marker first, because that's the one I'm going for. Maybe I'm just wrong. And I met the other wind frog god, and got another tune? You figured it out yet?
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on May 13, 2003, 01:12:26 AM
This is for Shifty ONLY!!

Shifty: i've passed all that. I'm up to the *next half* of the game. You can go to either marker first. I'm just doing the south one first. Which reminds me. Have you been to the fire or ice mountain? If you haven't, go there. And since you've gotten the warp song from the second frog god, you should be able to go to a certain place that lets you go to fire and ice mountain. figure it out. you can do it. if you haven't done anything yet, just ask me. PIAC can tell you stuff, i dunno about Infernal, but don't ask Mario, cause he's only up to the 2nd visit to forsaken fortress.
And if you want some more Knight's Crests, just look for battles with those knights in armours. When you've taken all their armour off (do PARRY MOVES ONLY to do this), get you grappling hook out, and take it from them. You can do this with any enemy. If you want just one more, go to Shark Island, and hit all the switches. It'll be the most intense battle EVER, but there are knights down there.

Nintendo's lineup this year doesn't really excite me too much, since we knew about most of these games already. But thank God they're releasing screens and movies. And it's great news about Pilotwings at Factor 5 eh? Metal Gear Solid looks mighty nice. I haven't seen any movies yet though, since I'm at uni now, but the screens look great. Geist sounds pretty cool too.

Post by: Uncle Rich AiAi on May 13, 2003, 10:53:20 PM
I rang the computer store about the Mario Party pack.  There's a catch.  You have to purchase a GC.  Damn!

One of the Melbourne newspaper had a story about the GameCube, one year after its launch today in the TV guide/electronics section.  It was a one page read, and had quotes from Nintendo Australia sale and marketing director.  He basically said that they are disappointed (!) with sales and hoped to have a 15-20% share as opposed to the 6%.  Also, he said they won't follow MS lead because they don't have Windows to fall back on.  The front on the TV guide had a funny cover art.  Mario (frown on his face) in his go-kart with the wheels off on bricks (!), with the PS2 and Xbox controllers on the other two go-karts driving away.

If anyone is interested reading it (it was a fairly short article), or seeing the cover art, let me know and I'll scan it.  I'll email it or Termin8Anakin will be happy to host it on his website.

BTW, the Playstation Player has me worried.  
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Shift Key on May 14, 2003, 03:20:19 AM
Hmm, the PSP looks strange.

A portable PS2/media device? Sounds pricey. UMD, Memory Stick, mini-storage, its all seems to be another niche product.
And a Q4 2004 release, no set price and set specs makes it seem like a pipe dream. I wouldn't expect it to threaten the GBA much.

But that's my opinion. Gimme a GBA and some old-school games! And a CD player.

EDIT:
Going to see Matrix Saturday night! Supposedly heaps of tickets still?!? Better line up early for good seats, not like what happened for X-men 2 (stupid friends getting there at the time the movie starts, and by 'there' i mean rocking up, not sitting in the cinema! Grrr.)

For Termin8's eyes only:I eventually got to the first marker (the south one) and now I have to go BACK!?!?! Ah well. More exploring for me! And Shark Island? Even more exploring!

Yeah Aiai, PGC just put up some news about that here. Its a shame really, nintendo easily has the best console. Oh well...

I'll probably see the matrix in a few weeks, after the huge crowds die down a bit. And so far Nintendos E3 lineup is looking very dissapointing, but the show isnt over yet Anyways, im loving the Wind Waker even more now (omg i didnt even think that was possible!). Ive spent the last couple of hours playing around that Windfall place, yay! Best game ever!

That article made me a sad panda.

It's pretty sad when they admit they suck here in terms of sales, and just hope Metroid and Zelda will sell units -_-

And Zelda is pissing me off, I'm just doing little side quests now, and I got the B&W Picto Box (Yeah, I know. I should of got it way,WAY earlier) AND IT'S HARD TO TAKE QUALITY PICTURES FOR THAT OLD FART!

GGGGR, BLARG, HULK SMASH!

Hey, Infernal, wait till you have to take COLOUR photos!

I'm sad about NAL's (so thats what we should call them!) admittance that they just sucked. But I guess, like Ben said, it shoudl be expected. This should be a big indicator that they should start supporting morem eh?
And Aiai, did you say you have the cover of teh article? So it was front page news?

I saw the news PGC put up.  But I know for a fact that I beat Ben to the punch!  So, yeah, it feels good!

Again, I'd be happy to scan the front cover of the Connect section (the TV guide and gadgets part of the paper).  Not front page news though.  Let me know.

And I could go to Nintendo Australia HQ, since it is only a 35-45 drive, just near where I used to work.  Well sort of, they moved after my contract was finished.  But what should I say?

AiAi: Umm, I'm here to see the sale and marketing director.
Secretary: And who might you be?  We don't allow the general public in.  And how did you get past security?
AiAi: What?  You don't recognise me?  I'm AiAi from Super Monkey Ball!  You wouldn't have any bananas around here, would you?
Secretary: Hmmm? Security!
*Get thrown out*


No wonder Nintendo don't advertise much.  Too much money spent on heavy security to keep people like you and me away.

Or better yet, get a AiAi orange T-Shirt, the one with a big "A" on the front.  AV used to sell them.    Or I could go to a T-Shirt printer shop and have one made for myself.  What a great idea!

Why have only one monkey? How about we get multiple monkey suits, and travel around, acting out various SMB games like Monkey Pool, Monkey Soccer and those ones? Of course, with alcohol-fueled mayhem included!
I can see it now - four or more guys in monkey suits, wreaking havoc at sporting events. Sounds cool!
I have been toying with this concept, but haven't found the right opportunity to unleash it on the world. This is that moment.
How does this sound: "The Super Happy Monkey Ball Tour - Now With Extra Balls!"

Probably could get a better name...

The Matrix Reloaded was f**cking awesome. Saw the midnight session last night. And they showed The Matrix before that, so I'm pretty much bummed out when I got home at 2:30am, then had to wake up at 5am to take my mum to work. And our other car had a drained battery do I had to take my dad to work as well. So I am in the sh*ts right now.

Although I got the story of it (and it's bloody awesome - not what anyone expected!), I still came out of the cinema confused like I did the first one. But I can't bloody wait till Revolutions!
I think I'll make a thread for it.

I'll be seeing the Matrix Reloaded on Tuesday night.  Guys, when the credits roll, do NOT leave your seats.  Stay till the end as it will have a sneak preview of the next movie, Revolutions.  I found that out from my newspaper.  Did you see that Termin8Anakin?
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on May 15, 2003, 10:23:16 PM
Unfortunately no. I hate it when that happens. You see a movie, come out of it, THEN you find out that they put in some special stuff right at the end. Damn. Tell me what the footage has when you, or anybody sees it. I wanna see it again, but I'm broke again now. Damn Zelda game. No wait! That's good!
Damn Zelda game. I'm almost finished, I think. Right now, I'm getting all the triforce maps. I've got one more, and thats the one from the ghost ship. Just have to go down a hole, then shoot six torches. Then after that, it's off to Tingle to decode the maps!

I think it's so funny, that Australia and New Zealand gets The Matrix Reloaded before anywhere else in the world, i mean, their thursday midnight sessions won't start for another hour! They're like 18+ hours behind us! Hahaha!

You have nearly finished TWW?  Holy crap.  I've spent nearly 20 hours on OoT, and I haven't finished the THIRD dungeon!  Yeah, basically I'm taking my time, collecting as much pieces of hearts and these skeleton things.  

I wasted hours trying to figure where to find Jabu-Jabu.  And yeah, I caught a 10 pount fish a few days ago.  I like it when Link's eye light up when he catches a fish!

How long did it take any of you guys to finish OoT the first time?  I'm wondering because it looks like it's gonna take me 50 hours, or so.

It's GC's Birthday? Cool!
*Turns it on*

Yeah, it likes that.

Saw The Matrix this morning. Wow.

Just wow.

The fight scenes are stunning to watch.
.. And they handed out special little Matrix cards when you got your ticket. Sposed to buy crap at the candy bar and activate it. Bah. I didn't wanna pay a million bucks for popcorn.

But Parra did a terrible job with the first session. The audio WAS HORRID. BEYOND HORRID! It was really hard to hear certain characters, as they had a echo to their voice. Boo-urns.

And we had to sit through 40 minutes of adverts and previews. No joke. People were actually screaming in rage by the half hour mark. Quite funny. Did get to see a trailer for the Animatrix on DVD, the game, and the T3 teaser. Nice.

Oh, and sorry to ask, but can anybody view my online journal, via the link below? Gaming Force isn't working, I dunno if it's just me though. My net is really crappy today, nothing loads -_-
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on May 16, 2003, 12:13:49 AM
AiAi: I said I think I've almost finished the game. Remember how I said I thought how the third dungeon was the end of the game? Yeah. I've finished the *south* and *north* dungeons, and I'm doing what I said in my last post.
It took me two months to complete Ocarina of Time. But then again, I only played it on weekends, since my parents didn't let me play games on school days. So I've almost spent as much time with Wind Waker as I did Oot, and I haven't finished it yet. I think it's safe to say both OoT and WW are over 40 hours, if you want to find everything. I've probably clocked 30+ hours on it.

Infernal: My net is slow today as well, but that's cause I'm downloading IGN's fricken massive MGS trailer. Bloody 44MB. You know what that's like for a dial-up user? Geez!
Your journal's not loading for me either, but that's prolly cause I have slow internet today.

And Nintendo.com's movies suck this year. Last year they were bloody awesome, and gave you goosebumps, but this year, they're bland, and only really got a "I'll get it" comment. I think Sega's really cool F-Zero GC trailer from 2 months ago still rocks. They should have not shown it and waited till E3.

The cube is a year old! OMG the memories are coming back to me. It was May 17 2002, i had planned to take the day off school that day so i could play my brand new Nintendo GameCube all day, i arrived at EB at 8.10, realised that the doors didnt open until 9am and just sat there and waited. I was so excited, like a little kid about to buy his first game. Unexpectedly, EB opened thier doors at 8.30, yay! I ran in there with my reciept, i had already fully payed everything off, so i just took the Cube, Luigis Mansion, Wave Race and a memory card and i was off! I got home at about 9am and plugged in my new console. First i popped in Luigis Mansion and i was like OMG it was so much fun, i played that for a few hours and then i played Wave Race and i was amazed at the graphics and the controls, its awesome. I spent that whole day doing nothing but playing my brand new Indigo Gamecube

And also its the one week anniversary of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker! OMG!

Anyways my internet connections been crap as well, msn and icq hardly load and my download rate has dropped down to 2.4 kb/s -__-

Termin8Anakin: Yeah the Nintendo.com trailers ARE lame this year, except for the final fantasy one Wow! I cant wait for that game, it looks so awesome, has anyone seen that trailer? And the Mario Golf one is sorta cool, it has cool music. The mario kart trailer doesnt even have music and the mario party 5 trailer doesnt even have any sound at all! And how boring is that pokemon colluseum trailer, teh lame! And yeah, fzero is

Well, the downlaod for the MGS trailer JUST finished. No kidding. I started it this afternoon, ate dinner, went to kabudo training, then played Zelda, AND watched Mr Deeds, and after all that was done, it was only 92% done. DAMN IT!

Mario: So far, I've only downloaded from nintendo.com the F-zero, Mario Kart, Geist, and Mario Gold trailers. MGS from IGN JUST finished, so I think I'll start the Final Fantasy trailer downloading. Geist looks pretty cool, no doubt about it. The animations look pretty cool and the game has heaps of potential. But I think the most impressive trailer I've seen so far is the (dodgy quality) Rebel Strike teaser trailer from IGN. How much like the movie was that! Man!

Infernal: And when we were watching the Matrix Reloaded, there were.........zero trailers and ads. That's right. As soon as we sat down, it was straight to the Warner Bros. and Village logos in Matrix-green. haha. That was good. I saw it at Readings in Auburn. We saw the Matrix before hand, so it was a double feature, and the only ad they showed before that was......the final trailer for Matrix Reloaded. Haha. It was all good. I wouldn't have been able to STAND 40 minutes of ads. They don't even do that normally. It's only like 10-15 minutes of ads and trailers.

I certainly hope I don't get 40 minutes of adverts and previews on Tuesday night or it will be *hulk smash!*

I've downloaded several video clips.  Don't download the IGN MGS:TTS, it's freakin' 44MB.  Go to the Magic Box and they have a link to Konami's site and the download is 10MB.  Very 56k friendly.  I don't know if it's the same video, but there's no way in hell I'm gonna download a 44MB video clip.

Ones I've downloaded:
Mario Kart - looks like a hell lotta fun
F-Zero - WOW, the sense of speed is awesome
FF:CC - graphics are pretty, but the gameplay doesn't have me interested.  I would rent it first before buying.  Too early to tell.
Wario Ware Inc. - I NEED this game
MGS:TTS - boring video clip
Viewtiful Joe - I'm looking forward to this game.  Good old fashion 2D gameplay
Giftpia - I pray this game is released in PAL.  Looks like fun and cute!


As for the largest thread, I haven't come across one that's over 1000 post (or I have a short term memory span), but I remember in a forums that I used to be a regular, someone started a "Is a boob job a good thing?" thread!   Maybe one of us should start one, and get banned by the mods!  hehe

Time to keep this thread alive.

I've seen Enter the Matrix for $86 at Big W. Very tempting at the moment. But I'm not sure about it, because I've basically heard nothing. Should I?

I'm going to hang out for Matrix Reloaded until Friday, but I'll see if I can last until then. Probably not.

Yes! Long weekend! Back to Zelda. Woo WW finishing Number 1!

Here's a "To Buy" List I've got so far:
~ Burnout 2
~ Skies Of Arcadia
~ Golden Sun - the Lost Age
~ Enter the Matrix - maybe
~ Resident Evil 2 & 3 (Nemesis)
~ NBA Street Vol 2.

~ Hardware for computer. So far I have the case. Damn good case too. It's an Antec Lanboy. I can't be bothered finding a pic, but it is very silver-ish, more than in the pics i saw. Now all I need is to shell out more moola for the guts of the system.

Ugh, I'm gonna be broke if I get all this!!!

I've only played about 30 minutes of TWW, and Infernal Monkey has completed it.  Life is not fair.  I haven't had much time to play OoT.  I've got a lab report (almost finished),  group presentation and assignment due this week.  

I've been thinking for my group presentation that we start off a la Troy McClure from The Simpsons!  What does anyone think of that?  You know..."blah blah blah, oh hi, I'm AiAi McBananas.  You might remember me from such..."


As for the Enter The Matrix game, I'll wait and see.  I'm always curious about license games.  They tend to suck.

I've nearly finished WW, and because of that, I wanna go slow. I DON'T WANT IT TO END! ARRGH! But I'll have to go through it a second time I guess.

I saw the Matrix again last night, and I actually get it now! In my own way of course, I don't quite know how to explain it.
As with the Matrix game, I'll just have to wait and see. My friend said it was really, really good, but he finished it last night, although only with Ghost. He needs to do it with Niobe now. But man, that was quick.

Yup, Animatrix is various storylines based on the Matrix. Each episode has a different director, the style of the animation is also different in each. Some take the traditional anime approach, some go with CG.

They'll be chucking them all on one DVD and selling it next month =D

Whoa, thanks for the warning there MArio. I almost read it.
And Infernal, you wouldn't be going to see it at Readings Cinema in Auburn would ya? That's where I saw it. It's near Paddy's. Yes.

And well, I think it's safe to say I've almost completed Zelda, since I'm up to Ganon's Tower. Arrgh! No! It's too soon!

PIAC, if you didn't know about the Animatrix, shame on you. It's like AIAI not playing OoT yet. By now, you should have gotten the four free episodes, and saw Final Flight of the Osiris at the movies (cool how they mention the Osiris at the beginning of Reloaded).

For Mario's eyes only (all others will like, melt and stuff)Surprise as in, they head off for another quest in that video clip after the credits, maybe we'll see further developments in this story. Plus yeah, the second quest you get to start. HE STAYS IN HIS PJ'S FOR THE ENTIRE GAME! =D And you keep the Picto Box! Woo!

Termin8, we ended up going to the George street cinemas in the city. Dunno why, we just decided it was easier in our strange little way, plus it's surrounded by late night arcades. Yipee. The screen there is so bigger than the Parra screen, it's not funny. Got the storyline more, sorta. I guess =P

We headed to the arcades, and I made an ass of myself on some Police game, where you move your body and the onscreen character does what you do. Yay for technology! I kept making quick, random movements and got shot alot.

PLUS we got in a verbal fight with a bunch of drunk dudes on the train back. It was amusing. It died down, and then one of them wanted to get off at Redfern to get a can of drink, he did, and by the time he ran back, the doors shut on him, and his friends were trying to force them open again. HILARIOUS ^^

Yeah, I wouldd gone to the city too. The screens at Readings are a sight to behold. They are really, really big. The crap thing is that it's not next to a popular and busy shopping complex, like Westfield. It's in this complex that only sells sports stuff. Hardly anyone goes there, but if there's a really good movie, then it's packed.

I'm getting close to the end. I'm up to Ganon's Tower, the boss just after I first see Ganon and Zelda. WTF do i do there? I get the cutting ropes, but then what? I'll figure something out. I don't want to look at any walkthroughs because I'm bound to read something I don't want to know.

Infernal: Sorry, but the best arcade game is Time Crisis 2. Can't be beaten for co-op gun fun.
Have you played that boxing game with the gloves that you wear, and you have to jump around. I think that one has the worst movement detections, but it is a cool concept.

As for the drunken bums, talking to them is hella fun. I was on the bus with some friends late on a Friday night, and one guy just started talking to me about this hot chick we passed in town. Considering I was next to my on-again, off-again girlfriend, she was pretty peeved at me. Oh well.

Yes, Time Crisis 2 is one hell of an arcade game.
I've seen that Boxing game. And if you're talking about the arcade in Sydney thats right next to the cinemas, have you seen that machine gun game (next to the boxing game)? The one where you pull down the visor and use a machine gun, missile launcher, and tank to kill the beach-landing enemies and jets? Man, thats one cool game as well.

I have to ask everyone this about Zelda - don't worry, it's not THAT important:
Has anybody gotten the chart for the Ring of Lights? These ring's of light only appear on the full moon at around 7 locations, but when I go there, eg, there's one at Greatfish Island, I can't see any rings of light. It might be referring to the treasure locations, but i dunno. I have all the treasure from Greatfish Is. (including the Heart piece), so i dunno. DOes anyone know what I'm talking about?

I got up to Gannon's Tower, and I've done three of the bosses, and I just went out of there cause I wanted to get as many items as I can. SO far, I have 15 hearts, the duluxe pictobox, that armour spell thing (like Nayru's Love in Ocarina of Time), the charts for the Giant Octos, Great Fairies, Island and Sea Heart locations, and Rings of Light. The only upgrade I need now is for double magic.
And who agrees that the auctions are so fun? For the majority of the auction, you bid like 1 ruppe more, and then ten seconds before it ends, you bid like 30 rupees more, and everyone just faints. And you win! Haha. It's only for a treasure chart and heart piece, but it's so fun.

Shifty, if you really get stuck on that boss thingy, highlight this (A last resort only! ^^): You cut his rope things, all of them, and make sure you get the tail rope too. At the end of his tail is a blue cracked ball type thing. Hit it three times with your light arrows... And... Success?

And I'm sick of Time Crises 2
*Holds garbage bin lid up as sheild*

I borrowed it ages ago on PS2 from a friend, with the shoddy blue G-Con2. Had it for around a month, because he was in no hurry to get it back. There's only so much scripted shooting one can take! The bonus features were okay though, one was an old arcade game where you shot targets and had a silly American voice over boom out of the speakers when you missed "YO MISSED". I think I had more fun with that!

And Ring of Lights Termin8? Never heard of that! *Cries like a little girl*
Sounds like you've built up a good selection of stuff, BUT have you got the hero's charm? It's a funky mask! Gives you a funky power! FUNKY!

Haha, speaking of bums i got off the train yesterday at Croydon station. There is no insert ticket machine thingy there so noone buys tickets, but yesterday there were two security guards standing at the top of the stairs and i was like " sh!t!" i didnt have a ticket so i just kept walking and they didnt ask me for my ticket, phew. Anyway, when i was walking out i saw a bunch of bums with guilty faces being talked to by the security guards for not having tickets. I overheard one of them saying something like "cmon man i dont have any money, im a bum!" Tee hee, he actually said he was a bum. I think they all got fined too ehehehe

I don't know where you pixies came from....!
And I've stopped trying to finish the game altogether now that I discovered the Nintendo Gallery!Holy crap! You have to take photos (colour photos using the Duluxe Pictobox!), take them to the Sculpter in the Nintendo Gallery, and he makes sculptures outta them. Thing is, there's like a stand in the gallery for EVERYTHING! I mean it! You have to take pics of every human, rito, korok, goron (!), fairy, monster, ghost, plant, rock monster, zombie, insect, EVERYTHING! Crap this is gonna take heaps long to do!

And hey! The rito postman who gets you to sort the mail (I got over 27!) is a descendant of the postman in Majora's Mask!

bah. never played Time Crisis 3 so i can't tell. Crisis Zone was pretty cool. But it was pretty short. Just having the constant buzz of the machine gun was awesome.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: oohhboy on May 21, 2003, 05:43:08 AM
Funny thing is that Crisi Zone < Time crisis 3. Crisis Zone has that MP5-N like weapon and the enviroment being destrucable was great(Bullet proof visors?!?!). I love that game. I am hoping that they release a second version that has 2+ players, like a swat team. TC3 Is bacisly an updated version of TC2, but it has a weapon select(Making killing masses easier) and improved graphics(Nothing mind blowing). It is also easier than TC2.

Post by: Infernal Monkey on May 21, 2003, 05:20:44 PM
Termin8, I strongly advise you to finish the game before you go off taking all those wonderful photos. Just... Trust me =D

And weee, got Enter the Matrix this morning. Tis heaps fun!
WEEEEEEEEEEEE! Hacking is bloody annoying via a control pad though!

... And Crises Zone is fun. Fun-tastic, even. EVERYTHING GETS DESTROYED! TAKE THAT YOU EVIL BALLOON! GAHHHHHHHHH!!!
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on May 21, 2003, 06:22:02 PM
yeah. I am finishing the game. I just got past where you have to defeat the four bosses from the previous dungeons.
But I do have quite a collection of figurines already.


Infernal: Yeah, the balloons are evil.

Ohhboy: nice sig.

Quickly before he sees it and teh game gets ruined!!!111111
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Shift Key on May 22, 2003, 12:30:27 AM
PIAC: To tell you the truth, I can't remember. But she most likely was after!

Termin8: I have no idea what you're on about with the machine gun game. I've seen the boxing game in Crown complex in Melbourne ages ago when I was over there for some reason or another, but it's recently appeared at the local arcade. Go Tunza Fun!

Infernal: Yeah, I have a habit of doing stupid things like that. Maybe some time I'll gather people around, and tell some stories.

Mario: Well duh, that's why the Diet Pepsi's in there - so he can shoot it in his eye and cause pain. If that's what floats your boat, then go for it!

And I saw the Matrix last night - absolutely awesome. Whoever said the plot was empty is obviously braindead, or just lost in the techno-babble. I got parts of it, and I'm going to see it again tomorrow! My rant about the only bad thing in the movie: Major letdown with the 100 Agent Smith fight - that CG was just really unreal. Sure it looked good, but I'd rather authentic. I'm aware that they probably would have been some real injuries if they were real, but it was quite obvious.

Favourite lines: "It's like wiping your a**e with silk. (about swearing in French)" and "He's doing his Superman thing.(guess who?)" I can't really remember any of the meaningful lines.  
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on May 22, 2003, 04:54:45 AM
I finished Zelda!
Exactly two weeks since I got it! And I have heaps more to do the second time round! I wanna do absolutely everything, minus the stuff with the Tingle Tuner.

For MArio and Infernal, and anyone else who's finished Zelda:
But F**K how cool is the boss battle with the puppets and Gannondorf! I was shaking like a bloody ice cube out of pure joy and suspense! Argh!
How cool is it how Zelda helps out and everything! And the sword fighting! AHHHH! Oh man!


And Infernal, why did you say don't take any more photos anfd just finish the game? Do any of the figurines transfer over to the second game?

And I won't say how cool everything was, cause no words can decribe the awesomeness of it all.
The footage of them sailing off after the credits does leave room for a direct sequel to Wind Waker don't you think?
And who didn't cry when the King said he had to die when Hyrule was being flooded?
MAn, I had a couple of tears.
And I was just inwardly crying when it was truly over - the words "The End", and the footage, and saving for the second game.
But, now, I have another three games again to complete: Wind Waker 2nd time round, Ocarina of Time and Master Quest.

Shifty: I don't think they would have done the Neo-Smith figth anyother way. But then again, all the Smiths you see there are really Hugo Weaving. That said, the scene alone took like 4 months to shoot, maybe longer.
I also like how the Merovigian says he loves French cause it's the best to cuss with (see the part where he walks into the foyer of the mansion with his goons and he starts swearing in Fench? Man, classic!). Haha. And I would like to try and wipe my a** with silk too. Haha.

Termin8Anakin (or people who have finished wind waker): yeah, the ending was just pure awesome. i loved every second of it, the part where you stab the sword through Ganondorfs head, holy crap i was like "OMG NINTENDORGASM!" im glad that the very ending sets the scene for a sequel, i hope the next zelda game is celshaded. I loved the boss battles too, they were brilliant, sll of them. IMO Wind Waker is the bes t game ever made!

i have my stupid ghey half yearly exams today, bah!

Yep! All your past figures are kept, and you start the second game with the Delux Picto Box =D

Oh yeah, I totally forgot, yesterday, when I was in K-Mart, looking over the DVD/Game section, there was an old-ish lady at the counter. A bit later, a younger dude who also worked there came up and they started talking about Zelda!

She was going "Ohh, I'm stuck on Wind Waker, now I'm playing Master Quest" and the dude went "Yeah, I think I've almost beaten Zelda, but I'm stuck too. Oh yeah, we had a lady come in earlier asking about Wind Waker, when do we get the new stock in?"

She paused for a moment, and I was attempting to look really interested in the 8-Mile DVD as I listened in. She must of looked at some paper or something, then she goes "Uuhhh, next Thursday. But they're not the limited edition version. Just Wind Waker"

=O
OLD PEOPLE PLAY NINTENDO! YOUNG PUNK DUDES PLAY ZELDA! LIMITED EDITION REALLY WAS LIMITED! PEOPLE ASK ABOUT THE GAME! IT SOLD OUT THERE! THE 8-MILE DVD HAS CRAP EXTRAS! THE GUY NEXT TO ME MUST OF THOUGHT I WAS DUMB FOR LOOKING AT THE ONE DVD FOR 5 MINUTES!

WEEE!

And now I've spent quality time with Enter The Matrix, and I'm really enjoying it. It weaves in and out of Reloaded's plot at times, which is damn cool. You get to play a mission, then see footage from Reloaded, and see how that mission actually makes sense with the plot of the movie. I think when I finish the game, I'll need to see the movie again!

The graphics are nothing outstanding, but the frame rate is ROCK SOLID. No matter what you chuck at it, 60 FPS. And the Focus (Bullet Time) moves are simply jaw dropping. You can do anything they do in the movies! Running along the sides of walls, cartwheeling off them into the air, and pulling out your twin pistols, firing away looks awesome in bullet time =D

You can also kick the living sh*t out of those silly humans as they lay on the ground in pain! Wee! Kick them in the head in bullet time and they go sliding across the floor screaming. Mmmm, sadistic fun.

The soundtrack is also ripped right from the movies, which is good. Good to the extreme! Or.. Something.

I'm so tired. Now I have to go pick up my mum, my sister, and drop off a f**king 4cm wire piece to my friend who does electrical engineering. Arrgh. Then I've got Kabudo later tonight. Man....

And the latest sales charts are in! Enter the Matrix tops the list (no surprise there) on PlayStation 2. It also comes in second on Xbox. Guess what gets place 3? Zelda!

Outstanding, I've never seen a GC game sit in the top 3 for two weeks! NEVER! And the adverts are still running on TV, maybe it'll be in the top ten next week! It'll be an amazing first!

Woah!  I'm away from this forum for several days, and look what happened?  You guys have really gone bananas!  I really need to check this thread more constantly to keep you guys under control.  

University had me busy.  Got all my assessments out of the way, and the bloody accounting assignment, which had my group working on it till 10pm the day before the due date.  That meant I haven't had much time for Zelda.  Finished the Forest Temple yesterday.  Yay!

I saw the Matrix Reload on Tuesday.  It was good.  Not great or excellent.  Just good.  The movie didn't "wow" me.  I found the fights to be repetitive, althought the freeway scene was really good.  What bugs me about the Matrix is that between the action, the movie is actually quite boring.  But I guess I'm in the minority.  

So today, I finally went to the video store that my friend works at which rents Japanese/Chinese videos.  Cool.  So I got Princess Mononoke, a Miyazaki movie (Spirited Away) and had been wanting to see it for ages (none of my local video stores had it).  And Akira.    I'm a sucker for anime.  They had Love Hina, but only in Japanese and Chinese!  Noooooooooo!  What a crime.  I really wanna see that anime series.  It's all Infernal Monkey's fault, because it was from him that I found out about the series.

im also a sucker for anime, i just have a piss weak collection i have Gunsmith Cats on DVD and first 2 neon gensis dvds, which ill sell (anyone here want them?) as im going to get the box set real soon, i also have the first 3 episodes of Airbats 801st TTS on VHS, got nfi where it is though, think a friend of mine has it. there are so many anime series i have to see!! and love hina is one of them ^_^ and ofc spirited away and perfect blue, gotta see that.
i also want the Ninja Scroll (Ninga Scrole <-- a joke for my self)  DVD and all the fatal fury movies, they are awsome.
speaking of which, does anyone know a good site i could order fatal fury from? now i REALLY want to see it :\

I've got the first Fatal Fury movie on tape, got it for $10 at Big W many years back =D
Still remember the first time I watched it, I didn't have my own VCR at that time, and had to watch it in the lounge room. My Mum was in there at the time reading...

And well, Mai's outfit + Anime = many, many scenes involving her breasts popping out of her dress. My Mum had a cry and left the room eventually... I was happy ^_^

OMG!  I watched Princess Mononoke last night, and OMG, it was an beautiful and magical movie.  Miyazaki did it again.  This movie blowed The Matrix Reloaded out of the water.  No kidding.  It puts most western movies to shame, just like Spirited Away did (it comes out on DVD/VHS next month).  It not as good as Spirited Away, just a hair below.  I have to say this movie is a bit violent, there are scene where limbs were cut off.  I have to watch it again before I return it.


I forgot to mentioned in my last post, that last Wednesday, my group gave a presentation at university (huh, what do we care?).  Read on.  In the tutorial, everyone had to give each group a grade out of ten for context and content.  So, the first group gave a really good presentation with nice powerpoint slides about wireless network connecting to home entertainment.  And on one of their slides, they had "Xbox" or as PIAC likes "Xbawx" listed.  The presenter then mentioned "Xbox" and "PS2", but not GameCube.  I considered that to be a sin, so I marked the group down a notch.  That's right.  I let my Nintendo fanboy-ism get in the way.  Presenters, beware!

I had another interesting conversation with a drunk this weekend. Interesting guy. He was sitting behind me and a friend on the bus, muttering something. Then he just started talking to me about being a fourth generation Australian, and his wife being a fifth generation Australian. He went on to bitch about, "When some Asian asks you which country you come from, it makes me really p**sed off!"
Luckily I got off before someone got angry at him. My friend and I just exchanged puzzled looks, then burst out laughing.

hehe, my friend in the group, said to me why the hell they mentioned Xbox.  He has a PS2 and doesn't like Xbox as well.  Yay for that.

And next month for Spirited Away on DVD? =O

Spirited Away and Animatrix in the one month! Weee!

I'll be getting Wario Ware next month,
... Well, that's if the GBA Player makes it here soon! I'm currently ripping the music from the ROM. Hopefully if I ever get cable, I'll set up an FTP
It'll be chock full of obscure MP3's from GBA and WonderSwan games. Huzzah!

Speaking of Internet, you may not see me on as much. My ISP is um.. dying or something. I can only ever get on for like 10 minutes before I get disconnected, and can't reconnect for half an hour after. Strange to the max.
I rang them up and they don't know what's going on -_-

*Cries*
I can't survive without the Internet! I'll implode!

*Implodes*

... Oh yeah, new avatar get! It matches my mood. Bored. No long-term Internet. And.. No money. Boo-urns!

Oh, oh, oh. And Mario, you're actually the fifth person to get Metroid

I need to rant about WW. Women and children shouldn't read this:
Story was good. Probably the only real good thing. The Ganondorf battle was TOO easy. The sword fighting was good, but I reckon the fight with the Shadow Ganondorf before was tougher. The teamwork was a neat idea, but it was just too short. Before you know it, you've put the sword in his face. Nice, but I really wanted to put it into Ganon. But at least I have OoT, that makes it easier to take. I'd give WW a higher 'fun' rating, but OoT still wipes the floor. Sure, the graphics are better and interactivity was cool, but it was still too shallow and brief.

Termin8, your room rocks.

I really like the magic "secret" bit behind the door

Dammit, now I feel like going to EB and asking for some new posters to splatter around my depressing room! There's only so much I can take from an old Super Metroid poster, some Kenshin posters and a bad Jedi Power Battles one ^_^

Ah, thatsa nice room Termin8.

The monkey is offline because it's too big for the avatar. I'll put it back up when I resize it later. I'm too busy at the moment, with programming in Java and stuff. Thanks for the link too, Infernal.

Hey Mario, is that meant to be Link or Aryll or something in your avatar? It's too dark.

EDIT: Oh, and about those posters on my door, I just put them there for the photo. I don't really have them there. I keep them behind my wardrobe doors. The wall where Imogen Bailey and Holly Valance are is where I'm gonna put the Two Towers poster when I buy it. Right now, I have no idea where I'm gonna put Samus if I get her.

hey, nice room Termin8Anakin, *sign* it makes my room look so much smaller than yours.  And yeah, I'll pretend I didn't notice these chicks...thought I'll let you know, I have two Star Wars poster framed.  The original Star Wars movie poster and the Millennium Falcon doing battle against the second Death Star.

I want to get Warioware next month, but I don't have time.  I have my exams on the 12th and 17th of June and really need to start studying.  It's all Miyamoto's fault.  He designs too many addictive games.

Infernal Monkey, thanks for the sig links, I was sad when sigup was down.  So I have a new avatar up and running.  Yep, I am STARING at you all!



















Still STARING at you all...

but of course! since for all us guys out of school, the only chicks we see are gaming-related!

EDIT:
I was having a Monsters, Inc.-style dream last night. A door appears in my room, and I can just say a location and the door will open up to go there. At first it was the bathroom, since I needed a piss, then I went to Perisher, stripper clubs and the girl's toilets. Then, I realised I could just go to the inside of NCL! And woooow! They have Oompa Loompas in there working on Kirby GC, dwarfs working on Donkey Kong GC, and I saw a glimpse of the next Mario and Zelda game! Mario's cel-shaded now! And Zelda? Man, let's just say that there's a *fierce deity* who's fighting evil! Of course, being Asian, I was mistaked me to be Japanese, and I was sent down to the testing department! Oh! The Orgy of new games is mind boggling!

Am I crazy? I'm not crazy. Am I? No. No-one thinks I am, so I'm not. Yeah. Am I?

Nah, I think it is Disney and Pixar getting revenge at Termin8 for stealing their Monster, Inc. logo that he uses on his web site. Don't be surprised if they file a law suit!

I'll try and make an effect to tape Futurama.   Arrrggghhh, I keep forgetting to tape it.  I saw the first season, and completely forgot afterwards.  At least my friend has downloaded the first three seasons.  I should try and get a copy.  Why has everyone, including Fox and Channel 7 have against this show?  Put it in a primetime slot.

PIAC, there's an auction on ebay.com.au for Super Metroid.  Only 16 hours left.


Oh yeah, about university guys.  One of the subjects I'm doing, Engineering Managment 2, the lecturer (Brian Irons) swears and says funny quotes.  My friend and I wrote of list of his best and commonly used quotes.  Check them out below:

BRIAN BINGO
(Classic Brian Irons Quotes)

- Bastard
- Bloody
- When the bloody bastard(s)
- The poor old bastard(s)
- Teach Grandma to suck eggs
- Apollo project
- A Car that can leap a building with a single bound
- When the sh!t hits the fan (or When the preverbal hits the fan)
- Warm and fuzzy feeling
- Things that go bang in the night
- Depth and breadth
- Any bastard can draw a straight line
- Keep your trap shut
- You can bet your boots
- Crappy sh!t
- Wanker

That last quote, "wanker", Brian said that last year in Engineering Managment 1.  The whole class was shocked when he said that!

He said "bloody" and "bastard" so often, I swear he said both of them about 30 times each in a 2 hour lecture once.  To me, it is no fun using these words again, because he over used them.  Damn him.  And I will have him next semester for Engineering Managment 3.  The list will pile up.

I think the worst thing any lecturer, or tutor can say is f**k.
we heard out tutor say that, and all of us just looked at each other thinking 'is he allowed to say that?'. I think the funniest thing said out of any of my lecturers was (the guy's 40 years old):

"Me and the boys were out played soccer in the field in front of my house, and a young lady walks by, wearing knee high boots, a boob tube, and mini skirt. The guys all shouted approvingly, and whistle out. She heads toward us, and the guys sort of prepare themselves. She gets closer, and it turns out to be my 13 year old daughter on her way to my wife's house from a party. All I could say was that the guys hurried back to their cars."

The guy is just plain funny, as everything he says relates back to his daughter and family in some way. This was my Intro to Cultural Studies lecture, and the topic for the week was 'Gender and Culture: Feminism and Masculinity'.

Oh, and I went by Target today, and they chucked out the Samus stand! Noooooooooooooo! You know something, if I got two of them, I was gonna have a competition on my site, and the winner got one of the Samus stands. The other is for my room of course. But alas, there will be no such opportunities.  For me or the winner.

The best quote I've heard is from a lecturer for Engineering - Planning and Design. I wasn't there, but it is a classic:
"Be nice to the Arts students - they'll be the ones who up-size your drink and fries at McDonalds."

As for the 13-year-old. That's just not cricket. No matter who you are, it's just wrong.

I'm listening to the Evanescence album at the moment. Damn good too. I never thought chicks and hard rock mixed, but this is too good! I give it a seven on the Shifty Scale (i'm not sure what the max is).

And Futurama rocks! I'll definitely watch it tomorrow night.

My year 10 maths teacher used to always swear at us, but in an educational way. I guess.

"Alright everyone, we're doin' trig today, yes, yes, I know it's f*cking sh*t, but we're required to do it"
First time he ever said "f*ck" we gasped, and looked on in awe, he just replied with "pffft, I do hear you kids when I'm doing the lunch time rounds you know"

He was the best teacher EVAH. In winter, he flogged the mini-hotplates from the canteen and made us all hot Milo. Twice a week =D, for nothing, he even paid for the tins of Milo himself. Outstanding!

*Sigh*
Now I want hot Milo.... =|

Oh yeah;

Games Wizards:

- Aggressive Inline ($18.95)
- Turok: E ($18.95)
- Legends of Wrestling 2 ($18.95)
- Tony Hawk 3 ($12.95)

All stores, Australia wide. Until Sunday. Keep in mind, this is second hand info from a friend.

Oh yeah, and RE2 and RE3 are now out in Australia on GC. For the horrible price of $79.95 each. The RE2 box is a disaster, all Capcom did was stretch the PSOne's original art to fit a DVD sized case. STRETCH-O-RAMA

EDIT: Damn, it would seem you need to be a special gold card member to get those cheap prices at Games Wizards ;_;

Evanescence rocks (Pun? What pun?)!
I got their album as soon as it came out.
I'll bet you heard them first on Daredevil? Same.
What's ur fave track, besides Bring Me to Life? Mine is all of them! But I've kept on playing Going Under, Tourniquet and Hello over and over.
I did a lengthy 5 out of 5 review on Amazon, and I did a little review in that Depression/Anger thread here on the Genral Chat page.

What time is Futurama tonight?

For people who have finished Wind Waker:
Oh, and who's almost finished the Nintendo Gallery in WW? I haven't. I've got all the figurines in Forbidden Woods/Forest Haven (first door on the left...my left!), but there's one space, next to the Deku Tree, and I have no idea what character goes there.
And how do you take a photo of your boat? I've taken millions of shots, from all different angels, but he never accepts them to make sculptures. I'm on my way to get the third pearl now, but I'm just going back to Dragon Roost and Windfall to take photos of everyone first, and all the enemies I can find.

Hey! I actually get what's going on in the Viewtiful Joe commercials! Although it's taken up till now to downlaod all three. The second and third one are the funniest! Go the abuse of power! Use it to zoom in on chick's legs! Run away quickly from a chick who's gonna kiss you with bits of crap on her teeth!
Genius, really. Who came up with them? Nintendo or Capcom? Let's just congratulate them both!
They should really use these for the western commercials, cause they're not overly mental, and they actually give people a great impression of the game!

And I like Link's jammies (ewwww! girly word!). I that look on his face when Aryll wakes him up is just the best look on any game character ever. And have you ever played/seen Link WITHOUT his hat until now (besides that pic of him in bed in the LttP manual)?

Termin8: I got it on Tuesday - been in my discman since then.
I heard it from a friend before then, but he probably heard it from Daredevil too.

Fave tracks: Going Under, Bring Me To Life, Tourniquet (can't believe I actually used a dictionary to find out what a tourniquet is!), Whisper, Imaginary, and My Last Breath. There isn't a bad track on this one. The backing vocals and instrumentals make it sound quite haunting. Sweet.
And can she sing!

Nintendo gets the gong for most popular name brand ever!
Mario as the Ambassdor of Italy! Hops off, Jumpman style! Donkey Kong kills President Nixon's head, runs up ladder, and jumps on building, which turns into DK level! Pac Man shot by Space Invaders! Alien tactics: Faster! Lower! Change Direction! We will not destroy you if my cape doesn't shrink.
You need the blue key to enter! And the Battlezone 3D tank!
And the warp pipes!

Post by: Termin8Anakin on May 30, 2003, 10:01:10 PM
Hmmm....that would get some discussion going here.
What was the worst cut/injury wou've ever had?

Mine was about ten years ago now.
We just bought the new house (We've built over it to the mansion it is today), and we were repainting it. I was scraping the paint off my bedroom door, using those flat, wide paint scrapers, turning my head every now and then to watch Captain PLanet (remember him?), scraping at the same time. Well, to say the least, when I turned my head back, I thrust the thing up so hard, it came off the door, and I stabbed myself in the bridge of my nose. The width of the scraper was just short enough that it missed both of my eyes.
I just took it out, and went into the kitchen, my head down, letting the blood drip onto the floor.
I wasn't freaked; it didn't hurt. It was more of an embarrasment really, as I had to wear those small circular bandaids on my nose to school.

Meh.

Skies of Arcadia is out? Cool, i might rent it if my videostore has it.

Hmm, the only really bad cut i can remember getting was a few days ago, it still hurts. I told my brother to pass me the scissors, so he f*ing threw them towards me and they cut across my left cheek. I was playing GBA SP so i wasnt paying attention, and he THREW the damn scissors to me. Bloody hell, it left a cut about 5 cm by 3 cm big on my face, i just took the bandage off a few hours ago. Argh it still hurts!

Skies has ALOT of class, im only 10 hours into it but it feels very epic, and a good example to bashers that say nintendo has no mature titles, there isn't any graphic violence persay, but the theme and what some of the characters say lends it a deep mature theme (god i hate that word)

The Futuramam episode was okay.  I liked how they pronounced Nintendo as Nintendu.

Skies of Arcadia is out already?  Holy crap.  Ever since I bought a second-hand Dreamcast a year ago, I've been wanting to play the game bad.  I never found the DC version in shops, (could have got it off ebay), but I decided to wait for the GC version.  I don't want to buy the game now.  I need to study for my exams and the last thing I need is a new game to distract me.  

Hell, I want to finish Ocarina of Time, then play Grandia (I need my Grandia battle system fix!  I'm going crazy and need more it.) and finish Super Monkey Ball 2, and finally get around to playing The Wind Waker.  And there's Warioware.   I hope there won't be a shortage of supplies in Australia, or it will be *HULK SMASH*.  Maybe I'll get Skies, and get my Mom to hide it from me.  Yeah, that's the idea!

I've got a lot of games to play in the holidays.  5 and half weeks that is.


And I thought I might mention that last Thursday, I watched Princess Mononoke for the second time.  Second. Best. Movie. Evar.

I would like to work for EB too.  Although my EB don't have any young staffs.  They are adults in their late 20s and 30s.  But they are okay (there's a cute chick working there too).  They never mock me for owning a GC.  Hell, they surprised me last week when they rang regarding Super Monkey Ball 2.  The game came out in March!

Ah, I'd nearly forgot about SoA. *slaps self*

But I can't. Between Burnout 2 and SoA, and exams, I won't get any study done. So it'll have to wait for a couple of weeks.
But then it's four weeks off! Word. Party time!!!

AiAi: Yeah, I've tried getting work at multiple EBs. No luck yet. But they all know me there. Three of them are former school-mates, but I've had no luck because of my Uni schedule. I should go and try again, because I'm sick of the token work I'm getting at Big W. *shakes fist*

Termin8: Nice work with the scraper. The most embarrasing thing I did involved one of those "Break Glass in case of Fire" thingos. Nuff said. Didn't hurt, but I made a total fool out of myself. And the fire brigade DID show up. That'd be right.

And a group of us are planning to invade the Uni in animal suits! Lectures and all.

Dude, get Skies, and then get someone to hide the game until your exams are over.  That's what I'm gonna do.  That's what I did last year with Shenmue II, although I did keep it in my room.  OMG, my two weeks with Shenmue II was awesome.  *sniff* I've gotta play it again.  Missed some of the side quests.

And I thought of getting Burnout 2, but I don't have the time to play it.  I'll give it a rent.  My local Blockbuster should get it.  Because they give out GameCube LOVE!  I should point out my Blockbuster has I shelf devoted to GC (no complain from me), 2 shelves to Xbawx and a whopping 7 shelves to PS2.  No kidding!  There must be a lot of gamers in my area.

Holy crap. I just missed out on all this posting action, all because of my stoopid assignemnt! ARRGH! My friend brought over Burnout 2 on his PS2 last night. Cool game. But then F-Zero comes out in like, 4 months, so yeah.

I've got an exam wednesday, then four assignments due on the 10th. Blarg. One assignment just simply requires me to rewrite a famous novel or movie - in 1500 words. That's a lot, but not much considering Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Gandalf and Boromir have to travel from The Shire to the border of Mordor. Damn. That's gonna take skill to write all that.
Or maybe I can just rewrite Star Wars.
Or Goosebumps.
Or Paul Jennings.
Or Grug.

After that, it's a whopping 7 weeks of pure dole-bludging! Yeah baby! And a snowboarding trip in mid July!
I have to get around to learning drums as well. They've been sitting there for a year.

AW I CAN HAVE A GO! My brain proclaims to my body, and wee! Before you know it, I'm chopping sh*t up. Next minute, BAM!

I've chopped right into my leg. Blood bursts out, and I have a demented cry. I run into the house, screaming, complete with cool little jets of blood squirting out.
I'm rushed to the Hospital, and had to get a whole butt load of stitches. Bloody well killed, it did.

Left blood all over the bit where I was waiting in the waiting room though. THAT WAS MY REVENGE!

... I.. Guess.

Oh yeah, I've also scrapped the sh*t out of my back before. This was about when I was... five. I think. It was in the house before the house with the palm trees (both in QLD) if that makes sense.

Anyway, this place was in the MIDDLE OF NO-WHERE. I hated it, took half an hour to drive into town, THERE WAS NO GAMES SHOP IN TOWN. Had to travel an hour and a half to get to a Toyworld to buy my NES games back then -___________-

Anyway, had to make alot of my own stupid fun. Was lucky enough to have a family move in next door that year (which was a 15 minute walk away), they had three boys around my age (and a Mega Drive, Master System and Atari 7800 ^^)

We decided it would be an awesome idea to get our skateboards and bikes, and just basically fall down this VERY steep hill. OMG ENTERTAINMENT! LETS GO!

I went first, on my trusty skateboard. No helmet. THEY'RE FOR WIMPS!
Weee! I roll off and tumble down the road, most of the time is spent on my back, along rocks, gravel and a very very very hot road.

Despite them seeing me fall down in utter pain, they continued on their bikes.

... Let's just say, they never rode on them again. Although none suffered the injuries like me. I'd scrapped away alot of the skin from my back. I couldn't lay down, sit down for weeks. Had to sleep on my gut, and even then, I'd wake up screaming in the night from when I'd rolled over.

So, the moral of this story, is...

.....

...............
Don't live in the middle of no-where?

Infernal? In Queensland?
Whoa!

And holy crap! Are you serious? You chopped into your own leg with an axe? WOOW!

And PAIC. You want a Grug avatar, well, I'm one step ahead of ya!
GO Grug!
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on June 01, 2003, 05:50:22 PM
Ahahaha, now I remember Grug!
Visual aids go a long way =)

And yep, I lived in QLD till I was about 13 or something *shrugs shoulders*
It was during the first year of High School, and it f*cked me up somewhat. For you see, in QLD, Primary school lasts till year 7. High school begins in year 8. It was strange coming here, going to this new high school, and finding out the first year is year 7 in NSW....

What makes things EVEN more odd, is that I was born in this very town I live in now, stinky Blacktown. Moved to QLD when I was two, and.. We.. Moved back here =/

Why? Because my parents are stupid idiots. That's my explaination =P

And I too now have a new avatar, Donkey Kong from Futurama! Weee!

VERY nice! $100 for a GBA Player? That's extremely good in my books! Finally, Metroid Fusion will be taken out of it's little plastic wrapping in the box =)

And I do hope NintendoAus advertise this pack! The GBA is one of the most successful consoles EVER in Australia, think of all the casual gamers who would be interested in playing their GBA games on the TV!

Don't you have a GBA either?

Holy hell Termin8, I hope you know your avatar is causing me much pain! Can't... Stop... The .... Laughter! ... Big nose... Happy face!... Looks... Like.. a ... Tent!

Welp, Wario Ware doesn't get much stranger. There's a nose picking mini-game, one where you have to aim eye drops in a giant eye, one where you have to put shorts on Wario...

Not to mention there's an ENTIRE stage FILLED with classic NES mini-games. The Zelda one involves those rusty old NES graphics, and you guiding Link to a door... The Metroid one has you blowing sh*t up for no reason...

You can also unlock full no time restricted games like Wario skip rope, or Skateboarding.. It'll be worth EVERY DAMN CENT! CLASSIC CRAZY NINTENDO GAMEPLAY!

WEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I got to my local shopping centre after 10am, went into EB, and found the LAST copy of Skies of Arcadia Legends.
HURRAH!  I've got it!  So has PIAC and the rest of you don't!  Buhahahahaha...Okay, I'm being mean, but it made me a happy boy.  The EB staff told me they have been getting low shipments lately (which has been frustrating) and are hoping for more at the end of the week.

Anyway, I played it for about 40 minutes, and the game is very charming!  And Aika is cute.  Okay, I said it, I need to get out more.
When my mom got home, I gave the game to her to hide till after my exams.  

BTW, Infernal, that axe story was sad.  Glad you came out okay.

Crap, that reminds me, did anyone here do modern history? I got a whopping 14% in my half yearly modern history exam! Yay, i blame it on Nintendo Damn Nintendo and thier quality games *shakes fist*

Hey Termin8Anakin, your avatar is funny.  Heck, I believe I still have one of these books around my house.  Yeah, the one about the rainbow!  You have that one?

As for my exams, I have them on the 12th and 17th.  It'll be awhile before I get into Skies.  I want to finish OoT first and I'm up to the Ice Cavern.  I could lend it to Mario or someone else if they're interested, but it'll be $10 a day, and if you loose it, or I never get it back, add $200.

Hey, I'm trying to make a living here...

Heh, I managed to score myself a factory sealed copy of Earthworm Jim on PC today, in it's original huge gigantic cardboard box thingy. i r teh massive Earthworm Jim fanboy, means alot to me

Best part was that it was only $4.99. We had a new junk shop open in the mall a few days back (you know, like Crazy Clints and all that crap), "Got a Fiver?" is the shops name, or something close to that extent. $5 for stuff! STUFF!

I was intending on keeping it in it's mint condition, but I read the back of the box and it proclaimed it had an all new CD quality soundtrack. I ripped the music, burnt it, and weee! It rocks

*Puts CD back in box, and wraps it in glad-wrap*

.. Good enough!

Hey, has anybody here seen the movie Old School? It looks hilarious!

Look, I'm rambling. I need to get some lunch or something. Yes, THAT'LL DO!

Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on June 02, 2003, 06:31:04 PM
Old School....no thanks.

And how do you burn music from a game?
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on June 02, 2003, 08:21:50 PM
I use a nifty little program called CDex for my ripping/encoding needs. It's free, too, free is good!

You just open the program, whack the game disc/music CD in, and it'll automatically come up with the tracks on screen. You can go to settings and choose what bit rate you want the MP3's to end up as, or you can rip the music as WAV's, but they eat hard drives.

If you put in a game CD and it only comes up with one track, that means the music isn't encoded in redbook, and can't be ripped.

The program also lets you mess around with the bit rates of MP3's you already have laying around.

Weee!
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Shift Key on June 02, 2003, 10:48:33 PM
I also use and recommend CDex. It's easy-to-use, with lots of cool tricks.
Like high bitrate rips? It's in there.
Want to make part of a song into a WAV file? Easy
Want the thing to make the ID3 tags itself, and stick them to its own directory? Pfft, just get it already.
Here's the link:

Hehe...that's the one!

BTW, does everyone know Sony and MS dropped the price of their consoles to $330 each in Australia?  Is it me, or do I think they are trying to destory Nintendo in Australia?

RABicle - your link doesn't work.

Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: RABicle on June 03, 2003, 04:46:20 AM
What? doesn't work? Its a redirect, it should work. Well try http://members.lycos.co.uk/gbanetwork1/ that should work for ya. Anyway the marketing guy they got back did the "lets see that again" ads, that everyone loved. after he left Nintendo marketing dropped and sony took over the market.

if this is a double post kill me.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Uncle Rich AiAi on June 03, 2003, 05:08:55 AM
The new link you gave me works.  Well, I hope for better things, but if NAL has a low budget for advertising, I doubt the new Marketing director will make much of a difference.  I hope I'll eat my words!

Post by: PIAC on June 03, 2003, 09:58:56 AM
well i definetly remember seeing more adds in the 64 days, ones for all the big games, rather than the initial launch adds and 3 others (zelda, metroid, pokemon) OH i almost forgot the ones they had during bathurst, a general gamecube one and the one for yoshi's island on the GBA
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on June 03, 2003, 01:38:28 PM
N64 adverts were THE BEST! That Mario Kart 64 one with Tim Feguson (sp?) left me speechless. It was then that I looked at my trusty SNES, and knew it had to be replaced by the almighty black box.

And serious? Xbox and PS2 have dropped to $330? Crap, what will the casual gamer go for now?

- Xbox, $330 (hard drive, DVD.. Ummm... Halo? -_-)
- PS2, $330 (DVD, massive selection of games, most crap, but the casual gamer doesn't care, THEY WANT BRITNEY'S DANCE BEAT!!!1)
or
- GC, $330 (GB Player packed in, best first party games... That never get the attention they deserve)

*mega sad face*

Lets hope Nintendo actually advertise this GBP bundle....

Oh yeah, stay tuned, I plan on posting a pretty lenghty MSN convo I had with a total Xbox fanboy =)
Have to edit all the swearing in advance!
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on June 03, 2003, 03:13:49 PM
what are you talking about bad?
I see Gamecube's for $199 everywhere I go!
And the GBP will be sold for $99. That, in effect, is actually cheaper than the price NAL gave on the bundle, and cheaper, of course, than the full price of an XBox or PS2, with DVD playback.

The way I see it, Nintendo is still king of home console prices.

Infernal: Looking foward to that transcript!
Should be interesting!

And hey, RABicle, it was the first time I went to your site. How did you manage to make a kickass site in the mould of PGC??????? Have you considered a GC section? Can I join up or something as a staffer??????
PURDY PLEEEEEZE???  
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: RABicle on June 03, 2003, 03:56:05 PM
Glad to see you like the site. It's not that kickarse, theres some incomplete bits and a horrible ad down the right hand side, it's also not as profesional looking as the only other Australan GBA site. :S
I'nm not planning on starting a GCN section because, the other head staffer guy doens't even own one, and theres allready plenty of great Aussie GCN sites out there, no point on me making one.
Anyway if you wana work for us reviewing GBA games or posting news then of course you can. Just write a review and I'll get the other guy to give you access to the news posting service

Greg's Nintendo comeback
Paul Broekhuyse: Ambition
JUNE 03, 2003

GREG ARTHURTON has just scored one of the toughest gigs in the business, becoming the marketing manager for Nintendo.

The company's in a pitched battle with Sony and Microsoft for the lion's share of the fiercely competitive games console market, so he'll have his work cut out for him. Arthurton used to work for Nintendo before, but has just had a three-year stint with games publisher Acclaim Entertainment, also in the role of marketing manager.
He starts back at Nintendo Australia on June 10, reporting to David Yarnton, director of sales and marketing.

Arthurton says Nintendo's Game Boy handheld is a solid business, while the more recent GameCube is third-placed behind Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox.

"There's a lot of ground to be made up," he says.

"We have a new Game Boy product being launched shortly that links it with GameCube - so you can play the handheld games on the TV screen - and we expect that to kick things along."

And Arthurton says being number one isn't everything. "The aim might be to simply run a good, profitable business," he says. "It all depends on the direction we get from the head office in Japan."

Outside work, Arthurton likes AFL, eating out, and the cinema.

He's married, with no kids.

Sounds promising. Nintendo Australia really needs a kick in the ass. Nintendo's current marketing team is so stuck in the 80's they are all hidden characters in Vice City. I mean look at that Game & watch ad that was shown last year, terrible! Hopefully this new guy can turn Nintendo Australia around.

So.... I guess this means we'll see Nintendo adverts in the previews at cinemas, and on our plates of food when we eat out?

"Yes, I'd like a bowl of spaghetti please"

*It arrives in the shape of Luigi or Mario*

Oh yeah, nerd isn't a swear word.. It's just that I started editing everything when it said there was an unknown forbiddon word in there. Still yet to really know what it was

Way to go Infernal. Ever heard of the term 'firing up'? That was a great rant!
And flamings a swear word? Not to nit-pick or anything, I just find it amusing.
"Got hot chicks" - worst excuse ever. Ever heard of getting a life?

I'm very into the whole concept of 'firing up' except I rather talk it, because then I don't think about what I say. Damn conscience!
Give me a few drinks, a target of some sort, and a topic to go on about, and I'll give you a show! Word up.

Anyway, I liked how you fired back!  It is sad that mainstream gamers like him are making the gaming industry worst with shovelware.
BTW, I love your signature from Futurama!  When i watched it, these two lines had me cracking out laughing!

Post by: Infernal Monkey on June 06, 2003, 02:10:30 PM
;_;
I can't believe the girl driller from Mr. Driller 2 made it into the top 30 in that list. She's not cute, she's scary! ^^

Oh yeah, AiAi, I guess you could call 126 MB worth of JPEG's and a few VCDs a collection

EDIT: Almost forgot... I was in a local game shop yesterday, Hi-Tech World... Drooling over the box of Silent Hill 3 ($110 -_-) when a middle-aged dude came in, and asked the turd up front how much a GameCube was, and if RE 2 and 3 were in, he proclaimed "I want to get them all on GameCube" which reminded me of Pokemon..

Sooo....... The turd goes "uhhhh, RE2 and 3 haven't come in yet, don't think they're being released in Australia. Because like, uuuuuhhh, Gamecube doesn't sell well at all. It's like another Saturn. UHUHUHUHUHU"

There was a moment of silence, and he goes "Uuuuhhh, you could get a PS2, and like RE2 and 3 are on that (which they're not, they're PSONE games) and it's got like a gun shooting game coming out soon. You wont find that on gamecube, it doesn't even have a gun. UHUHUHUHUHU"

Then the man went "Uh, how much is a PS2 then?"
It was at this point I felt compelled to step in. I walked over,

"Excuse me sir...." the man glances over at me, the turd has a confused (everyday) look.

"Do you know where Westpoint is?"

'Yes? Why?'

"On the second floor, next to the ice cream place, is a shop called EB. You can pick up a GameCube there for $250. For an extra $30, they'l give you another control pad, and a good game called Mario Party. They HAVE RE2 and 3, along with the original RE remake, and Resident evil 0. You could check them out"

'Really? Wow, thankyou son! Second floor you say, I'll go check that out now!'
And he left. I was scared, because he called me son , and the turd had a REALLY pissed off look, I titled my head up towards him, and produced a twisted little grin, and headed out. I'm pretty sure he called me a sh*t as I left. But hey, whatever.

That was my good deed for the year. DONE.

WOAH! This game is addictive as crack! Im just resting my eyes ive been playing for ages. Infernal, i LOVE that gameboy style NES minigame one. Zelda, duck hunt, mario bros, ice climber omg! And fzero! And that level plays like an rpg, when you get to the next stage you get more exp and your hp is how many "lives" you have and... and stuff. OMG im loving "jump forever", hehe my high score is just over 100 but im getting better and better. This game rules! Oh yeah, the metroid mini-game, jesus christ that is painful, you have to sit there mashing the bloody a button for 10 minutes to get a good high score, its friggin impossible, but fun! GOTY!

Yay for infernal tekken the piss out of the Xbox fanboy and selling the gamecube to the RE fan.

Not much to say except that today I FINALLY got Zelda!!!!!! unfourtunatly now that I'm completly stranded in boarding school I wont be able to play it until school holidays! It's just as well I guess seeing as I have exams starting MONDAY and i started studying LAST NIGHT. But i shall bow to Zelda every Morning and Night, and before exams, I'll see if I can take it in with me
But seriously these Exams are extremly important, They're all worth 50% of the semesters mark and so far I'm failing English and Geography and just srcaping a pass in History (Intro Calc and Physics are fine) so I need to do well in all of them. Apparently if i fail English for the year I have to repeat year 11, and theres no way I'm doing that. So yeah, i'll have lots of Important Gaming to catch up on after exams and ounce I escape from Boarding school (Soul caliber, Zelda and Skies of Arcadia spring to mind)
Anyway wish me luck, I'll tell ya how my exams go as they happen

I'm glad people are clicking on my sig.  I wasn't sure if they were.  While the poll is interesting, there are many chicks missing from the list.
Eg: Shenhua Ling, Joy and Xiuying Hong from Shenmue II, Hitomi (DOA3) and Millenia (Grandia II) are the ones I can think of now.  And I'm sure FF has many.  I have plenty of images of the Shenmue characters.

Exam studying has kept me busy and grumpy.  I get grumpier each day due to the fact I have hardly no time to play games.

OFMG! OMFG! Did anyone watch control freaks!!! It was like, sponsered by Nintendo or something!! First they had a huge review of Metroid Prime, showing off some AWESOME gameplay footage, then they talked about the Gameboy player, then sly racoon on ps2 (boo urns), then Pokemon R/S. They had some lame E3 special where they didnt even show any games, then Enter the Matrix, then a competition where you can win a GBA SP with Wario Ware! (goty) And then... ZELDA THE WIND WAKER! Everyone here, WATCH CONTROL FREAKS NEXT WEEK, theres gonna be a review of Zelda the wind waker on it. Omg omg omg that was an awesome episode.

EDIT: Oh yeah, they also had a flashback special about Donkey Kong country, they talked about the SNES dominating in the 1990s and donkey kong country's awesome graphics and stuff, but they didnt mention it was coming out on gba soon, which it is ^_^

And she's not a Jedi, fortunately, or else she wouldn't look so damn sexy in the music video for Bring Me To Life!

I've had my drums since last year. My dad bought my sis a piano, and then he goes to me, what instrument do you like? And I go, "i dunno, drums, i think". Two weeks, later, there a box for the drum kit sitting in the living room. I never said i loved drums, but he goes off and buys em anyway. Bloody hell. Thing is, I couldnt start learning them, cause there was a little problem called the HSC.

I had four months of doing jack all last year after the HSC, but i couldn't be bothered. Now, i've got a 6 week breal coming up, i think i'll start then.

Man, dont stress about your exams too much, i just had my half yearly exams a few weeks ago and i passed with flying colours, they were surprisingly easy, i didnt even study for them either, except for one (software). I got over 80% in maths and english and im more than happy with that. And this is coming from a guy who never pays attention to all that boring stuff in class. I only got 14% in modern history though :\ oh well, im dropping that at the end of the year anyway. Relax, you'll do just fine. Oh yeah and, good luck.

Wario Ware is giving me a headache, but im still playing it! Its so addictive, i must have played it for about 3 hours straight.

Must. get. higher. score.

And what is with Ancient and Modern History? Everybody I knew at school who picked those courses failed. I didn't pick em', but I heard they were beyond boring

EXAMS! AURGH! I've got four in two weeks. Not bad, but they're all really stupid. First one's on Saturday - that's Maths. And it's in the morning too. Then there's Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Physics.

Pencil down the 25th - my last day for this semester. Who knows where I'll end up from there? We get four weeks or so off.

AiAi - You a WWE fan eh? How can I tell? My powers of deduction are quite refined, biyatch! Wassup with that? Guess who that is, and you'll get a grand prize of nothing!

Infernal - who paid attention at school? Even up until the end of the year, we screwed around heaps, particularly Maths 2 (which I ended up getting 18.5 for - go figure!). And then there was the Common Room, our Year 12 hangout. It was supposed to be a study room, but that rarely occured. Football in the school courtyard, banging on windows of classrooms, and generally doing jack were standard for us!

I've held off on getting my computer built until after exams - motivation or something. It'll be teh 1337 too!

Seeya on the other side, possibly.

I paid attention.......

We didn't have a 'common room' of sorts. We had the study centre, which, technically didn't live up to its standards during recess and lunch. Crap thing is, after we left (class of 2002), the school THEN decided to build a common room. It's still in planning, but it's part of this major overhaul, in which they also plan to buy the street that divides the school.

S**T! Why am I even remembering all this stuff? ARRGH!

Anyway, get this month's Empire mag, it's got four cool Matrix Reloaded posters (three of which are those cool character themed ones - Morpheus, The Twins, and Smith).
And is this month's Nintendo Gamer out yet?

*Crushes a can against head and passes out*

*Gets back up*

Hey, anybody here buy "Cube" magazine? I've stayed well away from it since they're just passing off a European mag as Australian, but there's rumours going around Hyperactive that next month's will feature a demo disc. If so, I'd buy it just for the demo =D

okay, i was wrong about the nintendo gamer, its actually the one with the things on RPG's and i own that copy, so ignore my previous statement , also i get CUBE every now and then if i have nothing else to read, its not that bad, better magazines out htere
and my third thing about magazines is, i saw a copy of EGM today! i was like wow! but for 13 dollars i want something a bit thicker than what it was

Our screwing around was our legacy to the Year 12s this year, who we loathe.
As a result they suffer:
~ No Year 12 Jumper
~ Banned from Common Room
~ Less Free/Study Lessons

And they're actually worse than we wre, with the whole dodgy drivers/skanky chicks/nerdy nerds.

And Nintendo Gamer isn't out yet. I've got the RPG edition, but the Resident Evil chick is making me drool. Is it Milla or what? Tell me.

And Cube is quite dodgy. They game SSB an 8.5 out of 10, so I'm boycotting them until they get a logic implant or something. As for the rumour of a demo disk, I wouldn't expect it, consider actualy Gamecube demos are rare, unless its an E3 disk, which I would get! Mmm, demos. I still have those Hyper demo disks actually *drools over Spaceworld Zelda and MGS2 trailer*

Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on June 09, 2003, 05:21:19 PM
Oh yeah, I remember when Hyper had those cover discs =D
Still got 'em around, somewhere.

Speaking of E3, check out Next Gen's upcoming E3 2003 DVD!
They're releasing seperate DVD's for each of the consoles, or one big box-set! Huzzah! No mention of price though. It'd suck if they were charging like $80 for the set

And you made it so the year 12's don't get a jumper this year, shifty? Ahahaha.

But that can kinda be a good thing

*Glances over at year 12 jumper from last year*

Ugh, it was blue and BROWN with our surnames on the back -____-
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on June 09, 2003, 06:07:44 PM
i didn't want a year 12 jumper as i spent most my time not in uniform anyway my trusty NOFX jumper is good enough for me
my schooling = jigging and watching my stoner friends get stoned and laughing at them, eating lots of food and watching movies (i swear, Signs is the most fked movie ever, specially if your stoned ) and playing soccer on the school oval, at all times of the day
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on June 09, 2003, 06:11:39 PM
i know what you mean. They gave us all one size too big, and the s**t thing was they didn't let us have nicknames or anything, only our bloody surnames as well. "This school is steeped in tradition and standards. Allowing our students to have names that may be offensive is to undermine the very tradition our school stands for." Damn headmaster.
The only guy that got a 'nickname' was my friend John, who's surname was 14  letter long, and obviously didn't fit te shirt. So he had to use his Polish name, Janek (Polish for John). Other than that, mine was a boring 'Pham'. Ugh! "Termin8Anakin", or "Termin8" would have been excellent, or my other name, "Spam", or something.

CUBE is actually a good mag. Their news is sometimes a little off, but the reviews and features are the meat, and they are tops. And now CUBE actually has the backing of Nintendo Australia, so it can't be all that bad (The Party Pack)!
This may mean that we get a FULLY Aussie CUBE mag, run by Aussies, and not Poms.

Used to be.  I haven't watched wrestling since November 2001.  It got to a point where I got sick of it, was bitching about who they were pushing and who was being under used, realised it wasn't worth getting angry about, and haven't watched since.  About Kurt Angle.  He has been one of my favourite wrestlers since he debuted in 1999.  Awesome in the ring and funny as hell (it's true, it's true).  Shortly after he won 2000 King of the Ring, I registered the hotmail email account.  And the thing I like about wrestling is ACTUAL wrestling, not the crap they show nowadays.  *sign*

I love my school jumper - I wear it like a caveman wears his latest slaying or something like that.
I would have loved to have "Shifty" across mine, but for some reason the people arranging it were idiots.

We had Christian Education in Year 12, but towards the end of the year that became a bludge lesson so we just did whatever we liked.
Me, others: "Hey. We're going now."
Teacher: "Where are you going?"
Us: *shrug, walk out*

And that was it.
We'd go play basketball, kick the footy, go to other Year 12 classes, pretty much anything.
That's probably why these guys have been screwed around this year - we had free reign of the school and stuffed it up. Hah.

They lost their jumpers because we wore them when we were supposed to wear our blazers (most of the time).

PIAC: Go NOFX. Love those jumpers!
I'm looking out for a Less Than Jake jumper - I've seen them at their official store, but I'm not forking out for frieght! Bugger that!

And wasn't it Narayan (the Goldeneye lover himself) who defected to the dark side (PSM), and came back to Nintendo Gamer later? I think that's what happened...
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on June 09, 2003, 11:29:16 PM
im pretty sure it was steven (or S something..) the editor, narayan became editor after he left.. ahh geez i wish i didn't have to throw out all my old magazines (all the NMS's from just before the release of the 64 and all n64 gamers since about the 5th issue (and issue 2)) i could go through them and read up on the history, hey Infernal Monkey, dont you have a stack of magazines? if so enlighten us

yeah, i need more than just a NOFX jumper, lagwagon shirt (thats completely trashed) and a Millencolin one.

OHOH mum just got home, time to scan some photos
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on June 10, 2003, 12:42:30 AM
Steve O' Leary was the first editor for N64 Gamer. He was, uhh, meh.
Narayan was the best. He was the Goldeneye lover.

Come to think of it, everyone was a Goldeneye lover.

I loved the original crew cause they were pro-Nintendo only.
There was no "we have to be ethical and equal to all systems, each systems has its best games'.
It was all Nintendo baby. And the humour! Wow! Such great captions!
And where's Narayan with that "Where are they now?" special????

Fave caption:
Bert: Think anyone will see us up here?
Ernie: Nah. Did you bring the condoms this time?

HAHAHAHAHA!

The captions in the Basketball games were funny ass sh*t too.

Wish I had a scanner

I'd dig out issue 7 of NMS and scan the entire write up about "Project Reality". This was back in 1993, when they'd just gotten details of the N64 (Project Reality)

It's HILARIOUS to look back on now. They had as a FACT, this Project Reality would launch in 1994. The graphics chip would be produced by Silicon Graphics, Killer Instinct (the original) and Crusin' USA would launch with it. And in the same issue, they're talking about the Super CD add-on for the SNES, complete with pictures of the unit. The Super CD would launch with Super Mario Bros. 5.
WOW! I CAN'T WAIT!

Ahhhh, memories!

Oh yeah, and after I posted that, I dug out my old mags and flipped through the lot, quickly. DID YOU KNOW REV LIMIT IS COMING OUT FOR PROJECT REALITY IN THE FUTURE! IT'LL BE BETTER THAN RIDGE RACER AND DAYTONA! OMG WEE! AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR FINAL FANTASY 7 ON ULTRA 64 (N64)! IT'S LOOKING BRILLIANT!

Yeah, it's set out like a strange RPG type thing. With each post you do, your EXP raises. When it reaches 100%, you go up a level. The HP just goes up depending on your level, and the MP is based on how active you are on the board. Say, you don't visit for a month, it'll be at 0. These stats really do nothing productive..

It's pretty cool, but we get a HELL of alot of spammers because of the system. Wanting to quickly raise their level. They eventually get banned though, all is good.

And the avatars are 105X150 there

Ah yes, the magic of MSN and dial up. See, right as I type, MSN is telling me my username doesn't exist. I AM NOT A MEMBER OF THIS WORLD WE LIVE IN ACCORDING TO MICROSOFT.

I feel compelled to cry. The tears, they are tears of sadness. What shall become of my existence? Shall I pass through the grill of reality and slip into the world of the unknown? Shall my feet explode and turn into roller skates?

It is unknown. I am at the mercy of Bill Gates and the almighty Window. This window, maybe it shall decide my future. Let us hope we don't experience an error. That would make me very sad. Unpleased. Jun-Dooply-Ka-Zoooma. These are the words I will utter as life passes from me. It will confuse all. The Windows, they will perform illegal operations.

My vengence will be played out as they get thrown into jail.
I will rejoice. Victory will be mine. Cake shall be baked. Toads shall pave my road. A road of success. And cake. Many a cake. With this new found baked treat, I shall be reborn into an almighty MSN man. Fear not! I will change the online world for the better. This world will no longer be a cold and scary place to exist and play. It will be full of cake. And toads. But they shall be Nintendo toads. Not QLD toads.

Am I drunk? I should hope so.

1. Enter the Matrix PS2 -
2. Enter the Matrix Xbox -

No offense to anyone with the game (infernal), but that is a sign. A sign that the games industry in general is turning into a f*cking popularity contest. Enter the Matrix, i havent played it that much, but from what ive played of it at a friends house, from the reviews its got (Gamespy - 55 out of 100), and from peoples opinions of the game, i can say that Enter the Matrix is a terrible game. But people arent educated enough to realise this, they go to the store and see it and think "OMFG teh matrix the movei was rocked so the game must be ever bettar! omfg it has movie graphics!11one" and they friggin buy it without even knowing sh*t about the gameplay. Then on thier way home to play it they tell everyone they see who they know that its the best f*cking game ever, without having even played the game yet (ive seen this with my own eyes). Then they get home and play it. at first they think its alright, then they get bored and go do something else, like f*cking tell thier friends what an awesome game it is. How sad is that, they get bored of playing it so they tell everyone its an awesome game in the meantime. F*KING CASUAL GHEYMERS!!! Zlda is ten times the game Enter the matrix is, yet people look at it and think "look at that ghey cartoon, its teh kiddie, what a crappy babies game, har har im funnie" and it only stays in the top ten for a few weeks (in australia anyway). And look at Vice city and the getaway, probably two of the highest selling games in this generation of consoles. Vice city is pretty good, i admit, but cmon, its not freakin the best game ever, i cant believe its still number five after half a year! And the getaway, oh god the getaway, that has no excuse, the getaway is a piece of crap turned into a game. Woah it has realistic graphics! So does the f*cking road outside morons!!! Theres plenty of realism in my backyard f*ckers!!! Every generation of consoles, the top selling game has been a mario game, a Nintendo game, a GOOD game. Super Mario Bros, Super Mario World and Super Mario 64 are all fine examples of quality games. Gameplay used to be what was important, now all people care about is how many guns or cars are in the game, how much blood comes out of the guys head when you shoot them, what the game is rated, how cool the characters are etc. This gen some of the current top selling games are vice city, enter the matrix and the getaway. If only people knew what they were buying! I bet if your average xbot/psborg would sit down and play a game like wind waker, super mario sunshine or super monkey ball, they would realize how good the games are, how much FUN they are. Bah, im tired, in conclusion.. um… Nintendo is the best! Sony and microsoft are bringing the gaming industry down.

The Getaway is selling thanks to its foul language and GTA 'type' gameplay. OMG ITS LIEK GTA ITS GOOD!!!1two

Vice City is still selling because people are clumsy and drop their games in pools of vomit, making them go out and buy three more (seriously, WHY is it still in the top ten? It's a good game, yes. But.. Really.. Are parents buying their new borns a copy for their future, too?)

And Enter the Matrix, well personally I find it a good game. I never got on the hype train that many magazines had started, so I had nothing to be disapointed by, it's Max Payne, but with a better story. It's big dumb fun, I need those types of games from time to time.

I'll bet Enter the Matrix (ETM) will STAY in the Australian top ten for QUITE some time. I fully expect sales of the game to explode around the time Reloaded comes to DVD, too. Why? It's based on a movie.
The sad truth is, many casual gamers in Australia just WON'T try any game that's not based on a movie, cartoon or something that's got the word "s**t" in it. Look at Super Man 64, it BOMBED badly around the world, and for a VERY good reason. It was horrid.

Hyper even scored it 10% in total, yet it was NUMBER ONE in the all formats charts that month it launched. NUMBER ONE.

Word of mouth is massive here. One idiot goes and buys Super Man/Getaway/whatever, plays it for 10 minutes, thinks it's awesome, and tells everybody to buy it. AWW IT HAS BOOBS AND THEY JIGGLE AND THERE'S BLOOD AND IT GUSHES! BEST GAME EVER BRO'!

Bam
It's a winner.

Oh yes, Grace Bros. currently have 20% off every game and accessory in store. Lasts till the 29th.

And I second this island! I call JESTER!

I'm writing a 3000 word essay, and here's Mario writing a 3000 word essay of his own....
Man, I love this essay. I'm rewriting Alice in Wonderland into this psychedelic, insane-ridden, gory, bloody, and mental cross with inspiration from Eternal Darkness.
And the game 'American McGee's Alice' of course.

Great stuff here!

That sounds like an interesting essay your writing Termin8, Alice in Eternal Darkness, has potential.

Does anyone know anything about Pokemon Box being released in Australia? Its not on Nintendo Australia's website *gets worried*

Or keep typing?

That sounds like a pretty awesome take on Alice in Wonderland there, Termin8!

Well, people are waiting in line to get their heads chopped off.
And the white rabbit at the beginning has been replaced by many rabbits with razor sharp teeth (like the pygmies in Mummy Returns and those tiny dinosaurs in The Lost World).
And there's the Forest of the Damned, which is a 'forest' of corpses hanging from a hook in their necks.

That's it.
The rest of it has to be a critique, of sorts, so the story seems a bit choped up, but i guess it's OK.
I was going to have the Cheshire Cat feasting on a corpse, and the Mad Hatter's tea party involving a meal of severed heads, but there wasn't any room.
I'm only meant to write 1500 words, with another 1500 for the critque, but i can't cut down the story to less than 1934 words.

If you think there's something wrong with me, please, you're welcome to donate any monies to me so i can help myself to some...I mean, get some help.

I'd love to, but it IS my final essay, and I AM handing it in to be marked, so the thing has to be a bit decent.
I wanna keep with the insane plot. There's no gore or anything. Just mental instability.
Here's the ending:

Alice woke up, and became aware of her surroundings, and for some reason, she was sure it was real. She lay on the floor of her cell in her own filth. Her straight jacket was on so tight, she couldn’t feel her arms anymore. There was no use in trying to get out of it. The large drain hole in the wall let the rats and cockroaches in, and they scurried about feasting on her feces. She urinated in her pants, but she didn’t care. It snaked along the floor, and joined the growing puddle beside her. She heard a sound, and her black, empty, soulless eyes turned to the barred window in the door. Two men were standing there.
“How are you feeling today Alice?” One of them asked. She stared back at them, then turned away. “Well, it’s time for your medicine.”
As the door opened, Alice tried to slither away from them. One of the men grabbed her, and held her up, opening her mouth. The other poured the bitter yellow liquid onto her flicking tongue. He clamped her mouth shut, and squeezed her nose. She swallowed, and the men stood up, leaving the cell. The door closed and locked behind them.
“We’ll see how she does tomorrow.” Their footsteps echoed into the distance.
Alice lay down again, and her eyes closed. A smile crept on her face.
She was in Wonderland again.

It nearly caused my poor modem to explode, but it was well worth it!

THERE'S A BETA QUEST HIDDEN IN ZELDA OOT!!!

The only way you can access it is via a GameShark or some hacking tool like that. These are screens taken from the ROM.
THIS STUFF IS AMAZING!

Villages on fire! Being able to moonjump! Different songs to play!

This really is 56k death though, I had to refresh the page a number of times to get it to load everything.

From what I can tell, it was kinda like, a testing ground for what could be the real game, but with some totally WHACKED out bits. And for some reason, the quest was kept in the full real version of OOT? I dunno, but it's really strange. I'd love to be able to mess around with it ;___;

Oh dear.  I haven't checked this thread for 2 days, and you guys went over 1000 posts without me.  I missed the party.  

Infernal Monkey - There isn't a Big W near me, so I didn't get the junk mail about the Spirited Away deal (I get Target, Kmart and Dick Smith junk mail).  Oh well, as least I've got the collectors edition.  BTW, I'm glad I'm not the only who thinks Rogue Leader is that great of a game.  I'd give it a 7.0, and it's nowhere as good as TIE Fighter or X-Wing.

Futurama was on last night?  Well, it wasn't in Melbourne.  I checked yesterday's TV guide in the paper and it had Angel on at 10.30pm.  WTF?  Curse you Ch 7.  Curse you to hell.  It's on next Thurday.  Well, hopefully.

That was f'king hilarious Infernal.  Never heard of the game before.  Kinda made my morning.

Here's a fanfic I've been working on, The Legend of Zelda: Sorrow of Shadows It's not finished, no where close actually and don't know if I should.  It takes place more or less a year after the events of Zelda II: The Adventures of Link.  I have two other stories I have going.  An original story in the Castlevania timeline and a original story with Celes and Locke from Final Fantasy 3. (US)  If anybody would like to read what I have done with the other two let me know and I'll put them up on my website and post them in the topic I made for my story july.

Post by: Shift Key on June 13, 2003, 09:31:46 PM
The kbps refers to the number of bits per second. Divide that by 8 to get the approximate amount of bytes.

So 56kbps is like 7,000 bytes per second, so when you take out transmission and parity bits, it's not so bad. About 6 kilobytes per second isn't bad. Especially when you thrash it with KaZaA and GetRight. And hog the phone line.

But cable will always win. *shakes fist at modem* Why are you so crippled??

Until I get some more work, or win the lottery, I'll have to put up with this.

{Cowboy} That is a fine new Avatar you there Termin8. {/cowboy}

56k is not that bad. Atleast most of you live on the other side of the ditch where BB is far more wide spread and cheaper. Here we get a "No balls" versoin of BB which is only twice as fast as 56K but with marginally better lag. To get the full package, you start paying with blood. It eventually gets to your soul.

Oh, and i REALLY want pokemon box for some obscure reason. I think about it every 5 minutes, its driving me crazy, POKEMON BOX! ARGH! I hope it gets released here, soon! POKEMON BOX! POKEMON BOX! POKEMON BOX! GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL!

Curse you EA. Where's the Cube support?
And they said they'd make sure it would be on the Cube too.

And it's not xbot, it's xbawx, y'all.

And Pokemon Box?? WTF? Dude, it's a box, filled with, ah, Pokemon.

Hooray for F-Zero GX (or whatever they put on the end of it this time) getting here soon.

And September is when I officially get another year older, and get my full license. Yay!

MIssed Control Freaks/
Was it good?

I remember EA cancelled AFL 2003 so they could just simply make 2004 for Gamecube. So what the f**k's goin on?

And Mario: I think you should get reaquainted with something called sleep. I know you've got cable and all (evryone look at the times of his posts above), but you'll go insane. For real.
Haha
September is till a very long way away, but I can't wait for F-Zero GX either.

Post by: Infernal Monkey on June 14, 2003, 09:31:15 PM
Control Freaks was okay. They had a half decent review of Zelda: WW, then had a bit of news saying PS2 and Xbawx had dropped to $329, but then (thankfully) said that although the GC is still $329, it comes with a free GBP.

Ummm, what else.... A demented feature of Australian game development, a cool-ish review of Ty The Tasmanian Tiger, a hilarious review of Midnight CLub II. They stated it was on both PS2 and GameCube. When it's NOT on GC at all, it should of been Xbawx there

They reviewed Monkey Ball Jr and Golden Sun II on GBA (via the GBP)
Did a crap retro look at WipEout, neglecting to say it was on both PSone and Saturn.

And um, yeah. Oh yeah, they had a review of NBA Street II... And some other sports games.  
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Mario on June 14, 2003, 09:33:31 PM
Sleep? Is that some sort of gaming peripheral?

Control Freaks was ok, i like the fact that EVERY game they had on the show was playable on GC, excepyt Midnight Club 2, but for some obscure reason they said it was, so yay! First it had Zelda the Wind Waker review, they said really good things about it, its the best zelda yet. They gave it a 5 for gameplay. Then they had Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, did anyone see the cutscenes in that?! Pretty awesome huh My dad did some of them Ermm.... oh yeah, they mentioned the Xbox and PS2 price cuts, and that Nintendo was staying strong by keeping the same price. They also mentioned the GBA player bundle too. They had some special with Australian game developers, and they kept showing some lame ass racing game with those weird cars, that pissed me off, it looked like the worst game ive ever seen. They reviewed NBA Street 2 They reviewed Midnight Club 2, and said it was on PS2 and Gamecube even though its not on Gamecube They reviewed Golden Sun the lost age and Super Monkey Ball Junior on the GB Player! Super Monkey ball looked awesome on gba! The graphics were very nice for a GBA game. Oh yeah! And at the end they showed short clips of Starfox Armada (no crap footage, only fmv! looked very nice), pokemon coluseum, 1080 and Giftpia!! and maybe some other stuff that im forgetting.

I want Pokemon Box because i can trade my pokemon from sapphire to it and then start a new file to catch all the pokemon! And also its a budget priced game and comes with a link cable and a memory card!

Termin8Anakin - I'm glad you enjoyed Spirited Away.  Every time I watch it, when it gets near the end I don't want the movie to stop.  It is so beautiful.  I watched it the other day with my family and they really enjoyed it.  Now, it's a matter of taking it to my friend and his fiancée place, and force them to watch it.  They are movie buffs and have over 80 DVD movies. No kidding.  

Another movie by Miyazaki I recommend is Princess Mononoke (I believe it never came out in Australia).

Heh, AiAi, on the first disc, go to the last option on the main menu and press left on your remote. You'll see a window on the little run down house highlight. Enter! =O

You'll get access to a whole crap load of trailers to more anime titles. Nothing that special, but the music running on the FLCL trailer got me hunting the song down on kazaa

Also, you can press left again, and you'll highlight another window. This is a crappy easter egg, though.

On the second disc, press left on the top option on the main menu. You'll notice it highlights one of the statues eyes, and bam, press enter! This easter egg is awesome.
You can also press left once again to highlight the other eye. I've forgotten what this easter egg is think it was DVD credits or ... Something?

Mario!

Sonic:

- Water Warning
- Act one completed

Sonic 2:

We'll see...! Maybe not nude, but close to it.
All the pics I have of Natalie Portman are from my site, whereas some others are still on my hard drive (!), so when i change my avatar, just head on over and match it up.

Hey Infernal, would you be able to Import the Spirited Away soundtrack for me (the US version)?
If yes, thanks. If no, well, thanks anyway.
I'll burn it, but I like having the official stuff. Plus Spirited Away was a great movie, and I want to just buy something from them to thank them for making a great movie and score. I actually taped it to a video from the DVD, so I can watch it anytime now!

You can order online (well, by the looks of it).  I'd rather send my order via fax because I don't like to give my credit card details online.

I'll email asking them because they do have their fax number listed (click on the "About" link).  Anyway, they are located in Melbourne (like Tamarket), so hah!  Melbourne rocks!

Just out of interest, does Madman still do C.O.D? I too want the Spirited Away OST! $35 is a bargain!
Years ago I ordered some Mad Bull 34 tapes (hilarious series) off them and was able to pay cash when they rocked up about six weeks later

I can't access the site at the moment, too many other IE windows open at once

AiAi, that song that plays on the FLCL trailer is called "Ride On Shooting Star", it's by "The Pillows"
It's all over Kazaa. Good stuff! I'm also getting some of their other songs, "Last Dinosaur" is awesome, too. Catchy catchy happy fun song!

Heh, I found my old N64 tape today.

"N64 tape? What the hell you on about ya' stupid dick?" you ask?
Back when I had my original N64, for some reason, I started taping my gaming sessions when I hired a game out. Odd, but I found it amusing. TODAY for the first time I looked back on it....

It was painful watching me attempt to play Diddy Kong Racing, 1080, Body Harvest and so on... And DAMN. Chopper Attack was A BLOODY HORRIBLE GAME. I shuddered when the first level came up. Fog right in front of you, BAD washed out low res textures, a frame rate that was pushing 20 FPS at the max... Crap explosions, and from what it looked like, I was simply going around blowing sh1t up.

I didn't attempt any missions when I hired it
And the MUSIC. EUGH. Crap-rock, looped over and OVER!

Ahhh... Memories. Now I wanna play Goemon 2 on N64. I'd taped about five minutes of it at the end, and I remember the fun I had with it...

*Backs away into the shadows once more*
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on June 16, 2003, 08:59:03 PM
I did that too.
I taped the Boss fights in Mario 64, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask for fear that I couldn't do them again.
I also taped Diddy Kong racing and Banjo Kazooie so I could listen to the music over and over again - I didn't have the internet cause i didn't have a computer.
i still can't believe I took so many hits before I defeated Ganon. Four hearts left! FOUR! Out of 14!
And man, that final Bowser battle was intense. I was screaming my head off when the platforms started collapsing to form a star.

Geez I was crap back then.

well, i called harvery norman chatswood and YES, they do in fact have 50% off ALL gamecube software at the moment. i asked them if they had burnout 2, but they didnt. i also wanted to buy resident evil 2 and 3 for a cool hundred bucks but they didnt have them either.
   i went to EB and wanted to get them to match the 50% price tag but they will only do it if the other place actually has it in stock. but if it WAS in stock they would be obliged to sell it to you for the same price.
  so technically, you could call the guy at chatswood harvey norman and tell him to say to his next caller that they have all games in stock... THEN tell the guy at EB to call harvey norman and ask if they had a game that you wanted in stock ( i asked the guy at EB how they confirm that its in stock at another store, and he said that all they can do is call them and ask), THEN buy the game at half price. easy.

now, of course, thats fraud (says the guy at EB after i explained my diabolical plan) but its also a 50% discount baby!

anyway, so i bought a second hand copy of GODZILLA: destroy all monsters and it turned out that its price had gone down to 50 bucks, so i got my 50 buck game anyway!

yay, ive got 20 GCN games now!

EB near me suck, they don't even price match the likes of K-Mart's 15% days even when K-Mart has the game in stock -_-
By the way, there's a 15% store wide at K-Fart tomorrow and Friday. Friday = GBP launch day

And you have 20 GC games joeyjoejoe-shabadoo?! You could drop them all on someone and kill them!

Eegads, it be time for me to get off ye old net for at least an hour. IT'S LUNCH TIME! OMG WEE! Before I forget...

I have that starfox song as one of my ringtones, i just got it yesterday! That remix owns! 15% off storewide at Kmart you say? Hmmmm, should i get a game? which game? hmmm *rubs chin thoughtfully*

Oh yeah, i saw an ad for Vice City last night on channel 7 during Angel. -____- wtf do they need to advertise that game, bloody hell, its the number one selling game in the past 3 years, i think people would have heard of it by now -____- arent they happy with Vice city being ONLY number five on the all formats chart after 6 months? -__- And those midnight club 2 ads piss me off, they show NO gameplay whatsoever, only high quality CG that looks as realistic as real stuff, the actual game looks nowhere near that good, in fact it looks crap.

I brought dip!
*Produces three month old goo, covered in flies and slugs*
Now that's good eatin'!

And SLM sucks arse (little 'cool' mini-mag that comes with the Daily Telegraph in Sydney). I went straight to the back, because that's where the games reviews are. They have a snowboarding feature... They talk about SSX and ESPN Snowboarding... Fair enough... Then for some demented reason, we get struck with "But hey, you could get Halo on Xbox, a true masterpeice on XBox, you control Master Chief... BLAH BLAH BLAH"

... Wha? I don't see the connection.

They've got a review of Wind Waker. They said the sailing was a big downer, as it gets boring and fighting the random monsters in your boat is all the same -_-

Wario Ware also got a review. 8/10.
They claimed it was strange and original. In fact, they implied the majority of GBA game are lacking originality. Yeah, I hate how Wario Land and Zelda are the same thing -_-
It's almost like Nintendo repackage Space Invaders all the time! EEGADS.

Quick, where's my money? I read the back of the box and gave the game a random score, my job's done! Said the 'reviewer' as he waddled away...

Why complain about a stupid feature about snowboarding games? I'm not.
Cause I'm GOING snowboarding in a few weeks time!
And this year is shaping up to be the best season yet!
Huzzah!

I played my friend's PS2 today.
I thought Midnight Club was a game like GTAIII, but it turns out to be a racing game. A fairly crap one too.
Vice City kept stuffin up, so we screwed that.
Capcom vs SNK got boring after two rounds.
No One lives forever was really, really sh*t. I thought it had multiplayer too.
Tony Hawk 3 got boring, but the Horse more was the best.

The one game I actually got into was Stitch Experiement. It had crap controls, graphics, camera and 'objectives' but for me the redeeming factor was the lightsabre-like grappling hook, and the (you guessed it) slo-mo feature. It was just another platform stage-based game with thumping techno (ala Blinx), but it was the only really playable game, so I just stuck to it.

Meh. It was sh*t, but I got used to it.
Then you know what my friend says?
"Ah mate! So you like PS2 now? It's got the best games hasn't it!"

Er...yeah mate.

He painted the sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway and the concorde crash. He also painted the Twin Towers attack on September 11....


1996.


Freaky.
What's more, he's got over 200 other artworks of things that are yet to happen....

I'm too cheap to go out and buy it at the moment. Blew what was meant to be saved up money towards a GBP on a Tom Green Show DVD and some new headphones. Oh well, whatever.

Speaking of GBP, Kmart had (i think) an unofficial setup of the GC and GBP! Got to play Golden Sun 2

As for SA2, I didn't see it new, but all the second hand copies were going for $50, and every second hand game is 25%, making it? Erm... *explodes*

So you could try for a pre-owned copy! Mine is!

OH YEAH! Every pre-owned GBC game is a mere $9.95! If I end up getting the GBP in two weeks, I'm gunna try and get a copy of Super Mario Bros. DX

Yeah, the sale is Australia wide. I had a look at my local on Thursday, hoping to find a cheap GS1, or at least Burnout 2 or Skies of Arcadia, but I left empty-handed.

And I saw the ad for Donkey Kong Country (SNES port) on the GBA/SP. The old-skool is strong in this one! Mmmmmm.

As in, TV advert Shifty?

Control Freaks was below average today. Well, from a Nintendo stand point.
They started off with a GREAT preview of Mario Kart Double Dash, which looked bloody great. Then, that was it for GC

They reviewed Metroid Fusion and Sonic Advance 2 on GBA, which was cool.
Then we got to see a load of PS2 online stuff, talk about the PSP, a look at the EyeToy add-on for PS2 (which I personally think is a great invention! Seriously! It'd be hilarious at gaming nights)
Then umm... A review of Indy on Xbox, some PC racing games... And more on Aussie developers.

And it looks like next weeks show will focus on Xbox/PS2 =/

Infernal: Yup, it was on TV. Can't remember which one. And they said there was a new colour of SP! *more drool* looked to be a dark blue colour, but that was just shown at the end.

I saw Control Freaks too, for the first time in about a year. The EyeToy is funny, but I don't need a game to make a fool out of meself!
Mario Kart DD looks cool, but I've heard people at E3 say the game is lacking depth or something, so I hope it is indeed better than Mario Kart 64.

mwahahaha!
cool comic!
if they're getting more and more detailed, why don't you put some colour into them?
that must have taken you a while to make!
send some in to Nintendo Gamer!
And you should make your comics part of your website or something, not just for us to see!
"Infernal Comics!"

and when you've built up an empire of Infernal Comics lovers, start making movies and games based on them, and you could hit the jackpot!
You could be the next Stan Lee!

Or the guy who runs Penny Arcade.

Thing is, if you start making the comics more detailed, just try to have a bit of colour in it for us to be able to make out some of the things!
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion

Heh, adding colour would make me cry
For you see, I never really complete lines in my drawings, there's like, a ba-jillion gaps! And we all know what happens when you add colour to a broken section in Paint! COLOUR FLOOOOOOOOD!

I really should set up my own Geocities or something site somewhere, I agree. I can't abuse this sig hosting place forever

Yoshis Island get! OMFG its so awesome! Its really fun! Got it for $50! Also saw Timesplitters and Halflife on PS2 for $20! I might go back and get one of them tomorow! I wanted to get Donkey Kong Country, but it was full priced. There were a few bargains i saw, tony hawk 3 on gba for $25 and erm... cant remember any others . There was a lot of empty spaces on the shelf/tables though, so i guess i missed some bargains, and it was PACKED! I pushed through a bunch of people argueing about which is better ps2 or xbox (-___-) and grabbed the last yoshi's island! Didnt see many cheap cube games though :\ I didnt see any GB games either.

Oh yeah, didnt see Wario World either :\

Crap I loved Yoshi's Island. Some fun FUN FUN boss battles!

Oh, and I'd get TS over Half-Life there Mario
Half-Life is kinda.... Crap on PS2. Graphics look like arse, and the load times will make you turn into the Hulk.

Now I want Wario Ware too. Money gone.

Mario: Get TS2, and wait for HL2. 4-player is hella fun! And it has monkeys!

Infernal: I think just touching the game make you go Hulk.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Mario on June 22, 2003, 11:50:11 PM
Yeah i have Timesplitters 2. But the game that was $20 was Timesplitters ONE! On ps2, i bet you havent played timesplitters ONE before.

Heh.

Meh.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on June 23, 2003, 03:37:07 AM
$20 for the original is well worth it!
I got TimeSplitters back on the PS2's launch day, and enjoyed it very much. But then I got bored. Bored, and hungry. So I traded it towards Smugglers Run.

Where am I going with this?






.. To the fridge.

Take it to the FRIDGE Cranky!

i went to eb today and picked up beach spikers for 50 bucks. i also went to grace bros and they are discontinuing their gamcube line!!!!!!:;
i bez like, DAMNNNN. oh well, grace bros is usually sh1t for games anyway. or is that just because im a nintendo gamer and no one wants to stock our crappy games anymore. my local eb has deleted burnout 2 from their catalogue!!! i NEED to buy it nowwwwwwww!! but i cant find its stank ass...

everywhere i go i see THA CUBE being treated like a little bitch and its tearing me apart. its seems so ironic cause i have a big collection of excellent games for my lil cuby. boohoo.

you WILL put me in your next comic infernal. YES, you WILL. and i aint gonna be a little stick figure neither.

im finding godzilla bla bla bla melee to be a lot of fun. i was always a big fan of godzilla as a kid (i used to have that godzilla game on NES) and to see ole godzy pull off the same moves as the NES game in full 3d is beautiful. not only that but its a damn fun game.

yay im gonna be in the comic! IM GONNA BE FAMOUS!!!!!!!!11!

Damn. Those comics would have been a great expansion to my site.

Oh well. I have to stop trying to turn Nintendo Inc into an empire or something.
It's a personal site with an international name!
Why did i choose the name? It's the coolest name I could come up with, and i made a f**kin awesome logo to go with it! It was made to take over the world!

*sighs*

Now Infernal will take over the world, with Infernal Comics, a name that I too made up.

WHY GOD????Why do you hate me??? What have i done to deserve this????????

"Hello STeve,"
Huh? Who are you?
"I am God."
WHat the fu*k? Prove it.
"Hey, remember, thou shalt not test the lord."
Come on.

Hahaha. Slut 1. Hehe.

I can't mess with free will with my God powers.

But what I CAN do (if you've watched Bruce Almighty) is make chicks just keel over and scream out on the verge of an orgasm just by simply talking dirty to them! I love that! It's so bloody awesome! You just go up to a hot chick, and go, 'Hey Sexy..you want some........PLEASURE?' and they jusy fall into you, and demand dirty things! IT's awesome being God!
Oh man, some people want me to answer their prayers......*sighs*......the downside of the job i guess.

Must get back to playing Grandia. Awesome, awesome game.  It has a better story than the second game and more charming.  Already clocked over 27 hours in 5 days.  Grandia Get!

Hulk was a great movie!
For anyone expecting some emotional 'coming-to-grips-with-new-powers' type movie, well, yeah, I guess you can say it's like that, but it's nothing like Spiderman. It's more emotional - less action, but for the action bits, it delivers by the HULK SMASH bucket load. But if you liked the wow-factor of Spiderman's web-slinging rollercaster rides, then you will be BLOWN away by Hulk.
Bear with the first half, and you will reap the rewards!!
See it!
Or I will SMASH your puny little skeletal frames into dust!
ROOOOOAAAAAWWWRRRRRR!!!!

Post by: Infernal Monkey on June 25, 2003, 01:13:38 PM
AiAi, I'm really enjoying Grandia II so far, although I'm not very far into it. Just past when you first see the big split in the Earth and I've entered the town where the people say it's all freaky and stuff. Oh yeah, Millenia is awesome
It's a nice touch how when you spend the night at hotels you can sit around the tables and have a little chit-chat.

Does Grandia II continue on from the original? Or are they totally different stories and characters?

And Hulk was a great movie you say Termin8? Good enough for me
I was thinking of going to see it next weekend (Birthday! Yay!), but I was a bit unsure with Eric Banner as the Hulk, I mean, his Full Frontal days will haunt him forever

Ah well *Marks on calender to see the movie next weekend*

Oh yeah, got my hands on some new GBA ROMS yesterday, painfully getting their music... (Damn, no sound tests) might post some mini-mini reviews in this thread later. Let me tell you, all thoughts I had of actually planning on buying Donkey Kong Country are dead. Why did Nintendo have to MESS AROUND WITH THE ORIGINAL!?

Post by: Shift Key on June 25, 2003, 07:00:07 PM
I'll probably see it on Saturday (depends on the recovery from Friday nite )

I really liked Spiderman, and liked Daredevil too. Some people say its a clone of Spiderman, which is garbage. Sure, they're both in outfits and jumping from rooftops. That's where the similarities end.
I liked Daredevil because it's not as clearcut as Spiderman was, with the good-vs-evil concept. Hulk looks to be going the same way. Can't wait!

And I think PIAC's going on about DKC being ported to GBA. Diddy Kong's Quest and that third one (never played it, meh) will likely follow.

Infernal Monkey - Both Grandias have a separate story and characters, like the FF series.  But the battle system is the same, which I really love!  Grandia 2 is funny, but Grandia is even more funny.  There are some really funny cut-scenes and discussions that I don't want to spoil if you ever decide to hunt for the game.  As for the chit-chats before bedtime, yeah, I enjoyed them. I really liked Mareg.  He was an interesting character who made some good points about life.

Shifty - I look forward to it!

That 007 James Bond image is hilarious! Maybe we should produce this movie in Australia and I'll be the director!  You heard it from me first!

*In McBain style voice*

I LOVE IT!
Hopefully I'll get out of my lazy state by tonight and try and provide a background and logo on the site

Annnnnnyway,
Donkey Kong Country
It's been messed around with too much. Graphics have been badly downgraded for the GBA, lots of animation is cut, backgrounds have been totally redone, to look brighter for the screen... Some levels that featured day to night transistions, like the first, no longer do this. Which is pretty crap. Music is very tinny sounding, but the score is still outstanding. Man Rare had awesome talent with cartridge music.

But for some demented reason, Funky's barrel airport music has been cut out, in favor of a terrible elevator style music track. Also, Cranky Kong has lost ALL his personality. He no longer disses Donkey and Diddy, and he doesn't get all violent on your ass when you visit him (he used to hit them around with his walking stick)
He provides lots of tips though. Which is good, I spose.

That's the downsides.
Upside is that the game itself still holds up VERY well. Levels are still as fun and challenging as ever. Graphics are still good to look at despite lack of animation. There's also two new mini games in this port. A fishing game, which is mighty fun to be honest and a strange DDR style dancing game. The music for this section is mystery. It hardly gets you excited about clapping along to the beats... Plus I couldn't figure out how to do anything at all
I pressed left when it said too.... BUP-BOW. Most likely a glitch in the ROM or something.

Oh yeah, there's a lot more text in this game to read. They've tried to add to the rather bland story, which can only be a good thing. Seventeen thousand thumbs up out of three.

I dunno, if you haven't played the original, you'll enjoy it heaps. If you have, you'll be a bit pissed. This port could of been much better, if only they didn't f**k around with it.

More reviews coming soon. After umm.. I dunno, had lunch or something

Everyone! I'm proud to announce that Nintendo, Inc. version 7.5 is up and running!
And Infernal, you are the main headlines!
Get your first look at the Infernal Comics picture/logo/thingy/whatever-you-wanna-call-it!
The natalie gallery isn't completely linked up, but then you guys have seen heaps of natalie already.

YAY!

Hey, if you ain't been to my site yet, I'm having trouble with the "nintendoinc.cjb.net" URL cloak.
If you go to my site, then click on a link to an external site that I don't run (like the PGC Forums or Infernal's site) then the URL remains with nintendinc.cjb.net.

Do any of you guys know how to fix this?
If I can't fix it, then I'll have to go back to using the angelfire URL/.

HANGOVER GET! Nuff said. Uni is over! So what else is left but to celebrate? And we did, into the wee hours of the morning.

I was playing Wario Ware in EB yesterday. That game is awesome. I was playing a mini-game where you had to dress Wario with the falling clothes, with less than five seconds to do it. The further you get, the faster the clothes fall. Very simple and very addictive.

*runs out to get dose of Wario Ware*
*realises he made it up*
*patents idea*
*makes money*
*gets Wario Ware*

Hmm, sounds like a plan.

And Termin8, the new bits are cool. Are the sections up, because I can't seem to get to the reviews. And i'm going to get into reviewing my games for you too.

The reason I like reading your posts PIAC, is because you are so damn goofy. (A nice thing.)

It's things like this that there should be no territory locks on consoles, let them be import friendly like GBA titles.  I did read that Veiwtiful Joe is import friendly for whatever good that does any of you.

[EDIT]  The game has full english speech according to the game description at videogamedepot.com.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on June 30, 2003, 03:15:43 PM
yeah im pretty tempted to get Veiwtiful Joe, im just worried about the RPG's that are slated for cube, they have me very excited (your excited? feel these nipples! (baseketball owns)) but they might not make it here, or if they do ill have to get them on pre order and get them strait away, or face importing :\

atleast Fzero/Mario Kart should come here in decent numbers, and make a respectable sales amount... should.. :\ either way importing looks to be rather favourable right now, especially with the prices the way they are, it shouldn't cost too much more......... oh crap, my tv here is only crappy and old :\ wont be able to do NTSC :\....

How much of a difference is there between the European and Australian terrotories.  Both are PAL right, well I read today that Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is getting a Christmas 2003 release in Europe (don't know about Australia though).  
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on June 30, 2003, 04:32:50 PM
Yup, all our games come from Europe. So we get stuck with all the dodgy French, German and whatnot language options. We have very few decent publishers in Australia though, the biggest at the moment is Game Nation, and they do a horrid job. We'll usually get the game about 2-3 after it launches in Europe.

Although Game Nation has come to the splendid conclusion that since GC isn't that popular here, they'll just treat us like utter rubbish.
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: nitsu niflheim on June 30, 2003, 04:47:42 PM
That kind of sucks you know.  I guess you'll just have to resort to importing.  How is the importing scene there.  I've only imported two things so far, Shining Sould for GBA (European version) and the Hori controller that looks like the SNES controller so I can potentially have a better digital pad than my wave bird has.

why would anyone want that?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?

i dont care whats good for nintendo in the future. i want all these games NOWWWWWWWW.

We've only really got a year and a half until GC2 comes out, and something like Pilotwings and MArio 128 will come out NEXt year, and does that look like NIntendo will be able to make a new Mario game for launch? no.

The games I think should be launched with GC2 are:
Pilotwings
Too Human
er....yeah, that's all i can think of now/

We already have these games coming on GC
Mario 128
Wind Waker 2
Metroid Prime 2
1080 Avalanche
Pokemon Colloseum
That Pikachu game
Mario Kart
F-Zero GX
MGS
FF: CC

and that's just the exclusives!

Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Shift Key on July 01, 2003, 03:26:33 AM
I think its more sad that NoAus has admitted to screwing up this time around, and has done nothing else! Sure, they plug the first party games well, and they sell pretty well down here.
But they should do more to support third party games in PAL territories, because there just isn't enough publishing done. Sure, the market for Gamecube is small here, but with a bit of advertising and word of mouth, they'd get more sales. Guaranteed.
Example: Resident Evil 2 & 3. Apart from a couple of print ads, I haven't heard boo from these games. Classics re-released. Shame they're expensive ports, but why not plug them? Too afraid to shake the kiddy image?

But in terms of achieving a profit, they have to spend money to make money.

EDIT: And Termin8, here's what they should be releasing GC2 with:

Mario 128 (if it's as revolutionary as Mario 64 was, this'll be a smash)
Metroid Prime 2 (make it so polished you can see yourself instead of Samus in the visor!)
Too Human (the eternally delayed game)
Pokemon RPG (don't tell me someone isn't making it)
Zelda Game (not WW sequel, something more like Spaceworld demo - WW wasn't evil enough. Jellies? Aurgh!)

Exactly.  That is what I wonder about all the time.  Why aren't the home consoles universal like the GBA?  My parent's TV accepts NTSC signal and have a multi-region DVD.  Arrgghhh, this gets on my nerves.

As for the weather in Australia, well, it's winter at the moment.  I advice not to come to Victoria or Tasmania (wonderful state, my favourite holiday place in Australia) in the winter.  It has been raining on and off in Melbourne, and am waiting for a good day to play golf with my friends. *fore!*

Wait around for a few months. The weather is bad here.
Around Christmas time is the best. You've probably had a White Christmas, but an Aussie Christmas is waaaaaaaaaaay better!

Beach. Babes. Barbeque. Beer. 'Nuff said.

And as for the regions, it is to do with the TV. Sure, most can accept NTSC signals, but I'd say the majority of the population will still only have PAL. Heck, my new video card only accepts PAL input.
Maybe when the whole world moves to digital television that one universal standard appears?!?!?!

Post by: joeyjojo on July 02, 2003, 06:09:06 PM
tis the season to be buying cheapass games! i picked up harry potter a couple of days ago for 25 bux. my lil bro got turok for 20. (this doesnt make it a good game. GODDAMN its an ugly piece of SH1T!)

so far everyone in my family (big bro, lil bro, lil sis) has been playing harry potter except me. it looks great though. really good music and beautiful graphics.

i want to get RE 2 & 3, but im not prepared to pay like, 70 bux for each of em. theyre not on sale at EB which sux.        anyway, huzzah or whatever...

Luigi's Mansion is alright, I guess
Only sorta right at the start. Sucked up a few ghosts, had fun trying to suck sheets off furniture, and I keep pressing the A button to hear Luigi scream out "mmmmaaarrrriiiooo?"

Hilarious!

**AiAi's Diary for Thursday 3rd July**

9:50am - Leaves home and heads for Dick Smith Electronics.
10:00am - Arrives at Dick Smith Electronics
10:01am - graps the last copy of Metriod Prime!!!!!!!
10:02am - realise it is $100 and goes ask the shop staff
10:03am - ask the shop staff who also happens to own a GC

AiAi: is there a sale on GC games?
Staff: is there?
AiAi: yeah, it's on the website
Staff: are you sure you didn't look at the US website?
AiAi: Nope, it was the Australian site
Staff: *checks on PC*  You are right, the game is $49.42.  I just bought the game 4 weeks ago for $100.  Aw man!
AiAi: hehe
Staff: this is the last copy we have!
Staff: *gets the manual + disc*  The game is awesome.  You will love it.
AiAi: Thanks very much *makes purchase and exits the store beaming!*

10:10am - goes to Target
10:15am - at Target and grabs Wario Ware Inc. since the game is $10 off!
10:16am - Staff at store are idiots and gets impatient
10:20am - finally makes purchase
10:25am - gets back to car and heads home, laughing the whole way...

10:40am - checks that Metroid Prime works
10:45am - checks that Wario Ware Inc. works and play for 30 minutes
111:15am - plays Grandia for the rest of the day!  

Massive savings today $$$

**End of Diary**

Anyway, getting Metroid Prime for $50 is a steal.  In fact, it felt like a crime to me!!!!

Thanks telling me about the sale Mario!! How did you find out?  Because the staff at the store didn't know...

Whoa, check out the Gamefaqs Character Battle. Ganondort and Tidus are neck and neck!

And it's good to see some lesser known characters like Magus from Chrono Trigger and Issac from Golden Sun.
But Sam Fisher? He's like a person. What's up with that?

I am finally back on, couldn't get on at all this morning, stupid phones and internet being all retarded.  Get on and get knocked off, get on with 4800 kbs sucky.  

Monkey & Mario.  Likee the new pics.  I was wondering why last night they weren't showing up.  Is Monkey's girl a catgirl? Hmm??


I just got Wild Arms 3 for 19.99 at Ebgames.com (they had a mix up, the new game was listed for 19.99 while the preowned was for 24.99, I checked today and they switched the prices.  Really dumb, why pay more for a used game when new was cheaper. ).  I also got the new Contra for 29.00, new from videogamedepot.com, .99 cheaper than at ebgames.com.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention in my diary that Dick Smith Electronics had a fair amount of games.  They even had RE0, which I was tempted to buy, but didn't since I don't have the time to play all the games I want.  At least I got Metroid Prime.  Are you happy now that I've finally got it?  Yes?  Good!

I officially hate my life.
It was my Birthday today. My parents basically ignored that little fact.

I got nothing. Apart from half hearted birthday wishes this morning as they woke me up.
"C'mon, our passports need to be updated, gotta go into town and take passport pictures"

Excitement plus.
After I'd wasted $10 on photo's, I f**cked off and decided I'd buy myself a present. I scraped up enough to purchase the Cowboy Bebob movie on DVD.

It destroyed my PS2. I can no longer watch DVDs on it. And I'll be damned if I go into the lounge room to watch it. Not with those two f**ckers around.

I was then made to mow the lawn. Fun.

Man, I didn't even get any cards from rellies.

What a crap day.

Next weeks comic will be delayed too, I'm really not in the mood to do teh funni.

Oh my, looks like more and more people are becoming adopted aussies!  Yay!

EDIT: Infernal, how sad.  Happy Birthday, hope that would cheer you up!  BTW, when did the Cowboy Bebop movie come out on DVD?  It is published by Madman?  It is not on their website.

Thanks AiAi.

It's published by Sony/Tristar. Which I found a bit odd, and i'm guessing it's a super recent release, too?
How ironic, a DVD published by Sony destroying a PS2. Bupbow.

And err.... control freaks is on tomorow! Heh, cant wait to see more EA games... :\

Heh, control freaks wasnt that bad. They reviewed Splinter Cell and wouldnt stop talking about how awesome it was on gamecube, they showed the gc-gba link feature! They really pimped the GC version. Hmmmm, what else.. *thinks*... they showed some award show, metroid, gta, halo all won awards, zelda the wind waker won the most wanted game award? and they showed heaps of metroid prime/wind waker footage They showed the eye toy, it looks pretty fun. and erm... the hulk. Im probably forgetting stuff though
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on July 05, 2003, 05:36:39 PM
yeah it was a pretty forgetable episode, but they did totally hype up the GCN version of splintercell, basically it had 1 thing worse than xbawx but about 20 things better. was funny to hear

they spoke to the developer guy from Broken Sword 3 (a game im VERY excited about) and sadly no GCN port :\ but i was planning on getting it on PC to complete my collection anyway ^_^

spent awhile reveiwing the hulk, it looks kinda okay, they gave it 5 for graphics though :\ they smell, 3.5 in my box, but yeah, hulk looks okay. not much else of value really...

OH they did go out to the streets to ask people why games are better htan movies, and well.. i haven't seen a bigger collection of idiots ever some classic responces include "well games are more interactive than movies" 10 points to captain obvious (this was repeated in various ways like 20 times) "people dont want to spend alot of money on movies so they get games" -________- movies = $10 or $30 for dvd, new release game = $100 HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM and then i was too busy laughing and such to remember anymore

The media always goes for the idiots, that way they won't have to worry about being embarrassed by someone smarter than they are.  I'm not being sarcastic either, this is what is very prevelant in the television news where I live.


Was the 5 for the hulks graphics 5 out of 5 or higher, like 10?

Happy Birthday Get Infernal. Yazzuh!

And Control Freaks was a meh.
Nitsu - they rate everything out of five. I must admit the Hulk graphics are pretty catch *cough cel-shading cough*.
And the Brit Awards sucked. GTA:VC for Game of Games? Garbage. How about rehash of rehashes?

And sorry for missing the MSN session, which I planned. D'Oh. Sleep too good to pass up.

That Street-talk bit was done in Rundle Mall, Adelaide (yes, people apart from me live in Adelaide ). I was kinda peeved because I'm usually up there when I'm not at Uni, but I haven't been into Uni for the last month or so, so I could have had my mug on the tv!

I got Mario SUnshine today!
Yay! For 29 bucks as well!

And guess what the price was?
$99.95
I thought it was 50% off!

Goddamn!

Initial Gameplay report:
Meh, it's OK.
The camera should have been soo much better. I mean, seriously, how hard would it have been to put in Wind Waker's camera in Mario? And also, Isle Delphino doensn't have the same charm as the wackiness of the Mushroom Kingdom.... I mean, boss battles with Pirahna plants ALL THE TIME get kinda repetetive. I've opened up Gelato Beach already......I hope I'm not already halfway throught the game.
And is Mario going the way of Link? No dialogue? What the.....?
The only complaint I have about the game is just having to save EVERY bloody time you get a blue coin. Geez...

Other than that, a good game!
Look for my score when I finish it!

Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Shift Key on July 09, 2003, 03:22:21 AM
SUPER MEGA HAPPY FUN AMAZING HUZZAH!

I got my hands on the uber-rare Burnout 2 for GC yesterday! The local EB got a copy out of nowhere and I dropped by in my lunchbreak to complain about the lack of good Cube games...

"OMG 100 COPIES OF HARRY POTTER AND UNIVERSAL STUDIOS. IT'S ALL MINE MWAHAHAHAHA!"

Anyway, it was just sitting there. So I took it.
And ran. And returned to pay for it and actually get the game, since the cases don't play well in the Cube.

"Why won't my Halo play in my Cube?"
"Umm, the discs can't fit"
"Discs? What discs?"

So I'm very happy at the moment.

PIAC: Queenslanders? Meh. Don't know. Don't care. I'll give a review later. The music in Burnout 2 is a lot better than the first one, so I haven't felt the urge to crank some music.

And as for Dick Smiths, I'm not surprised.
"HERE'S YOUR SUNIK MEGA ERECTION!"

AiAi: Dude, just get MSN6. It has avatars. Mario's is a nice one. Mmm, cleavage.
*starts cleaning gun*

Internal Monkey: heh, that's teh funnies.

Termin8: I never got attached to SMS. Too much of the same. Run along beach. Spray enemy. Collect coin. Repeat.
Ooh, but then there's the once in a while boss battle. When I beat him the first time, I thought "Aww c**p, why's he there?" And that's when I took SMS back.
And the camera just plain sucked. The reason the WW camera isn't in there is because WW came after SMS. Just thought I'd point that out.

Hey, if anybody feels the need to pick up any of the 2003 range of EA Sports titles, drop into Target. They're offically $29.95 on GameCube. $89.95 for PS2 and Xbox.

It was awesome fun, we went over to the one at Arncliffe, i only severly crashed once! they had to come over to me and start the kart back up hehe, it was awesome, i kept trying to overtake this dude, so i just rammed him out of the way

Guess what guys... Nintendo Gamer will be no more. The next issue of Nintendo Gamer will be the last one released, they are closing down.

Well actually its only a rumour on the hyperactive boards but you never know...
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: nitsu niflheim on July 11, 2003, 03:12:27 AM
I'm so happy now.  I ordered Grandia yesterday and then it wasn't listed anymore.  So I was thinking it was gonna be another Suikoden 2 fiasco where I order it and I wind up cancelling the order because the game was accidentaly listed.  But happy for me I get an email this morning telling me my order has shipped. I also finally got the email confirmation about my order too, like 8 hours after I ordered the game.

Mario:  Most rumors are bound in fact.  Remember Rare!
PIAC:  I was never really interested in Pikmin, is it really good or just okay?
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Mario on July 11, 2003, 03:18:05 AM
If you want my opinion of Pikmin, its brilliant. One of the best game on GCN and one of my favourite games of all time. Although Pikmin did reasonably well, it should have sold in the millions. Its concept is very unique and the gameplay is simply genious. A very fun, quirky title that i didnt expect would be nearly as good as it turned out to be. An essential Nintendo classic. But thats just my opinion, i understand if some people dont like Pikmin, its not for everyone. Its a bit too complex for some people

*remembers Rare*

hmmmm, well... maybe... um...

If Nintendo Gamer are closing down, then i will be one sad panda.

Thanks Mario, but whatever the case it'll have to wait because I have been on a used game spending spree, and new game too.  Within the last 2 weeks I bought, Wild Arms 3, Contra Shattered Soldier, Final Fantasy Legend 2, Final Fantasy Legend 3, Crystalis (GBC Version. already have NES version too), Metroid 2 Return of Samus, and Grandia.  And then I have the games on preorder that start shipping next month.  F-Zero GX and Sould Calibur 2.  Oh where will I find all the time to play.  My silly job just gets in my way.

oh man. i refused to absorb the 'power' of beer the last 2 nights but it JUST DIDN'T WORK.

i just wanted to give some big props to PIKMIN.     *sound of harp, followed by black and white memory sequence*

aahhhhhhh yes, i remember when i was but a wee lad... i picked up pikmin (if youll excuse the sh1thouse pun) on the day it came out. i got the little baby for 85 bucks at grace bros, even though i had preordered it a EB, a mere 100 metres away. (ok too much detail)

the moral of this story is: i played it and got about halfway through and then we got smash bros and it got shelved. BUT, i recently started a NEW game and finished it. (with 8 days to spare) and MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN PIKMIN IS A GREAAAAAAT GAAAAAAAAAAAAME!

i LOVE the music in PIKMIN i tellz ya. even though when it came out a bunch of little bitches were whining about it. i have NO idea why. they can go and listen to some pansy ass death metal for all i care really.

its not the longest game in the world, but i really dont care AT ALL. when i play it i can feel the nintendo love "shining" through.

it may look cute on the outside, but is there another game where you make new units out of youre dead enemies? THATS HARCORE SH1T. keepin it gangsta.

Now I'm somewhere else, A MAGICAL PLACE.
Actually, I just rocked up to another friends place this morning at like, 8, because I was bored, and he does that to me all the time. Payback.

NOW I'M EATING HIS CABLE STATS. MMMMM NUM NUM NUM.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce that I started playing Metroid Prime on Friday.

*Waits for applause and some of the boos to quiet down*

And, ummm, I've got to say, so this the game everyone is raving about? Because words can't describe what I think of the game so far.  Metroid Prime is absolutely stunning (yeah, I know everyone has been saying that since Nov. last year).  It is blowing me away, and I don't mean just graphically.  I can't put the controller down and the gameplay is so much fun (although I do find there is a bit too much scanning and reading to do).  I can't believe Nintendo and Retro Studios pulled this off.

yes! YES! exactly it IS awsome! and for someone whos played super metroid it feels even more amazing! where are you upto?

i should really finnish it *shakes fist at pile of games that need playing* and to prove im even more of an idiot, i just started playing a PC RPG called Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick obscura. its loosely set in the 1800's its very deep and completely non linear (sp?) right from the very begining you can do what you want! i was particularly proud of something i did the first time i played it, some guy in a store who was selling clothes (yes what you wear effects peoples reaction to you) and he was being a right jerk, so later on when i noticed he had left the store i broke in and stole all his stuff i had suits and dresses coming out my ears which i sold for quite a pretty.... gold.. piece.. its not too graphically stunning, but very rewarding none the same. not that i have finnished it *shakes fist again* why cant the day have atleast .. 40 hours in it :\

Oh my, how I hated that fight with Ridley. It sure didn't help the GC decided to freeze up right as the death cut scene started the first time >=/

My GC's getting no love at the moment. Juggling Grandia II and Silent Hill 3 which I hired today. I'm in love with SH3. I want to have its babies. Or something.

It's the most disturbing game I've ever witnessed. There's a mutated naked woman monster in there WITH AN UNCUT PENIS FOR A HEAD. Nothing can ever top that. NOTHING.

There's also mega annoying dogs. Much like the mutant dogs in RE, but these have had their head split down the middle, and they use their deformed head to latch onto you. Gah.

Oh, oh, oh. There's really fat dudes in there as well, so fat they're at bursting point, the blood drips from their stretched, thin skin. When you kill them, they deflate and all their organs pour out. Nice.

My cousin has been doing it for 8 years.....I'll put up a pic of him jumping, then crashing. Funny Sh*t.

btw, that half pipe at Perisher is looking mighty fine.......I'll be on that thing in around three years.

15 gamecube games, 1 finished (2 if you count Zelda bonus)
14 GBA games, 8 finished.

Golden Sun 2 is awesome too, it shouldn't scare you though.

Termin8:  I remember you saying something about snowboarding.  How stoopid am I?  I forgot though.  And that animated GIF was v. Funny.

Shifty: Hmmm, I don't know I just ordered Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic yesterday and that comes out tomorrow so I don't have time for yet another game, let along KotOR and then Morrowwind on top of that.  I have way more games unfinished than actually finished.

I finally have 2 count that 2 XBox games and I have had my XBox for over a year now.  If Star Wars games is crap then my XBox has been a total waste of money.  Will I even be alive when Fable finally comes out ?  "Hmm, I don't know."

TWO games on Xbox! =O
You should invest in a copy of Jet Grind Radio Future, nitsu. It's the only game I got enjoyment from on the Xbox

Bart: A coupon book, what the hell am I meant to do with this?.... Here you go Dad, Happy Birthday!
Homer: Wow! A coupon book! OOOHH, two pizzas for the price of one at doughies!
Lisa: Doughies makes terrible pizza!
Homer: Yeah, but there's two!

... I can't resist quoting the Simpsons in every possible situation

And hurray for SCII in September. It's a far cry from its original slated release (May 2004) =/

Post by: nitsu niflheim on July 15, 2003, 04:38:43 PM
Well now it's gonna be three because I just preordered Fable today.  *so what if it comes out in 2004, so does Star Ocean 3 and Tales of Symphonia, preorder to reserve* I at one time was considering geting Jet Grind on Dreamcast because it was cheap, but then my short attention span focused on something else, and now I don't have the time for anymore games.  I'm also not going to buy anymore games because I am spending too much.

Keep up the Simpson's quoting, Simpson's rule!

I dunno. This is PIAC we're talking about!

And I'd rather wait for Jedi Knight 3 over KOTOR, partly because it's not only on XBAWX.
So they finally gave Fable a 'release date' eh? I wonder how long the delays will be?

Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on July 16, 2003, 06:36:40 PM
Heh, I have to do that 'work offline' thing whenever I start up IE

You may have to consider a reformat Mario, your PC sounds like it's been eaten by glitchy spy-ware, or it's just being a solid block of urine. Don't ask me where I come up with these things..

Erm, yeah. I had a fun day shopping today
My intention was to find a copy of Harvest Moon, either a second hand SNES copy or the PSone version. I didn't really have high hopes of finding either.

BAM, first shop I enter, Target, has three copies of Harvest Moon: Back to Nature on PSone, all dusty, lurking behind stinky copies of Gran Turismo 2. No price...

Take it to guy a checkout, $18.95! =O
After doing a bit of an excited poo in my pants, I forked over the money. Then the Final Fantasy fan-fare played, followed by the opening treasure chest jingle from Zelda.

OFF I GO.
To EB..

I play a bit of Eye Toy: Play, and I drew in a crowd, too. Because I actually knew what I was doing in the robot monkey punching game
Look around, see Rayman 3 on PS2 for $40... Think about getting it.....

Actually, I spent like 15 minutes thinking. I'm never good with decisions like these. DECLINE. Walk out.

Walk around in circles for a bit, go down a floor. FIND $5 ON GROUND! People were walking over it! SILLY FOOLS! NOW IT'S MINE!

Go to Big W. Browse around DVD section. Come very close to getting both M*A*SH the Movie and Good Morning Vietnam. DECLINE. Because like I said, I'm pretty hopeless when it comes to making a decision. As I'm exiting the DVD section, I spot a bright DVD box with FUTURAMA on it!

=O
They're now selling the first seasion of Futurama in broken up volumes, instead of having to buy the expensive box-set! ONLY $13!!!!ONE
I would of bought all three volumes to make up the complete series, but I only really need the first volume, as I have the majority of episodes on tape

BUY. PRODUCE HAPPY FACE.

EXIT STAGE RIGHT!

Barrel roll into Dickhead Smith, because 50% thing ends soon-ish. See Simpsons Road Rage... Realize it's a fairly average game, but for $25.. Hey. You know. Pie. Moon pie.

HEAD TO COUNTER! Guy goes out back to get me a SHINY new copy... TIME PASSES....
He returns with no SHINY new copy, just box off shelve.

Explains that he cannot find a new copy, all that is left is the shelve box and the CD. I make a sad face. No instruction box. He then talks to the other store dude, other store dude looks at me.

"Er, yeah, sorry mate, this is all we've got... Um... We can give it to ya for $15 if ya want"

HAPPY FACE.
Yes!

Road Rage for $15 IS A GOOD PRICE FOR NUTMEG.

WHAT A LONG POST.
As you can tell, I'm being a lazy sh**t, and the new comic hasn't been finished, it WILL be up before Sunday

NOW I'M OFF TO WATCH FUTURAMA AND PLAY STUFF! HOLY CRAP WE NEED TO ALL GET TOGETHER AND PLAY iSKETCH!!!!

Eye-toy is for kids.
It's fun for a while, but you get tired of it.

I thought it was something that interacted with EXISTING games. You know, pretend you hand is the gun in a First person shooter, actually act out the punches and kicks and jumps and sword swings in an action/adventure game. That would be totally kick ass....

If they are doing that already with games like 007 and stuff, then.................meh.

SONY SUX!

I'll translate this post for you: I wish the Eye-Toy was invented by Nintendo and was on Gamecube, not PS2

Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on July 17, 2003, 01:56:12 AM
Yeah.....I wish it was invented by Nintendo too. I played that ninja game where you slap people that come from the sides, using the straw form my drink. The appeal to kids comes where I was just standing there sipping my drink, every now and then just moving my head from side to side, where the kids were jumping up and down, acting all mental.........what i find weird is that people blame NIntendo for being too kiddy, yet the PS2 appeals more to kids (*cough* Eye-toy*cough*), so why not let Sony handle kids while NIntendo and co do mature stuff?

Meh..................

I know you have all missed me the last day.  Where was I?  Depressed.  A lovely, place.  Hell can be beautiful.

AiAi:  Not really, I have Grandia 2 on DC and have been looking for Grandia for a while now, I saw it listed on ebgames.com and took action immediately.  I was worried it would be another Suikoden 2 episode, where the game is listed available usually in 24 hours and it really isn't, but I got the game next day.  I am right now inside Valmar's Body, at the beginning because I became tired last night. What a concept, tired at night.

Infernal:  Shopping still?  So am I, Yesterday I purchased Beath of Fire 3, Breath of Fire 4, and Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, all for the single price of 71.96 including shipping and all three are new copies too.  I was just really looking for BoF: DQ, but saw the other 2 were new and under 20.00 each I went ahead and bought them since I will have the complete Breath of Fire collection now.  I have 1 and 2 on SNES.

Shifty: KOTOR will also be out on the PC later, at least here in States a couple months after Xbox.

Mario: I'm getting KOTOR today, so I'll play a little tonight and put up my first impressions maybe sometime this weekend.

PIAC:  What is ISKETCH?

I'm not interested in Eye-Toy, just not my thing.  

I had hoped to see T3 opening weekend, I got cash back from my paycheck so I'd have cash on hand to see it, because I thought my father, brother and whoever was going to see it, but no.  And I'm not going to the theater alone, that's for me is just too depressing and I'd probably just want to blow my brains out instead.  *ohh me*  So I didn't see it, I'll just catch it on DVD when it comes out in a couple of months I guess

KOTOR is out on pc? im there! i had no idea what it was, heard it was an xbawx title and didn't even look into it, but now i can research the game starwars + bioware = fun
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: nitsu niflheim on July 17, 2003, 02:43:07 PM
I've put about an hour into the game and so far I'm into the game.  I will have to get the smaller controller, the big old brick that came with the Xbox just doesn't cut it.  

PIAC:  I'm not sure when the PC version comes out, it was put on hold sort of so Bioware could focus on the Xbox version instead of on both version at the same time.

Mario: Thanks.

1:  Are you talking to me on the Xbox thing?  I could play the PC version of KOTOR on my computer, I don't know the specs the game need, but I would rather play it on the console because I would enjoy the game more.  But that's just me.  If it weren't also on Xbox I would probably get it for PC, but even though I generally don't like playing games where I have to use mouse and keyboard.  I don't know if the PC version plays like console game, using controller.

2:  I'm better now, thanks for asking.  I have been feeling blah lately.  I don't know why, it just happens.  I bought games and that made me feel better.  Like 12 or so games the last 2 weeks.  I am better now!  I'm not suicidal so no one needs to worry about me actually offing myself.  Life's not a game, i can't hit reset if something doesn't turn out right.

3:  I wish I had a pool.  I love to swim.  The last time I went swimming was January 1996 when I went on my senior class trip, we went skiing.  I love swimming.  Dan't care for skiing, killed the hell out of my shins.

Post by: nitsu niflheim on July 18, 2003, 06:30:08 PM
Fear not.  I now only have 2 Xbox games and I've had it since March of last year.  Outside of Fable next year nothing on the system interest's me.  I have 10 x the games for GCN over the Xbox so nothing to worry about.  KOTOR is fun though, if you like those kind of games it is gonna be on PC.

I'm not a traitor.  I don't even have Halo, so I must be retarded.  

T3 again, I haven't seen it once.  Oh well.  Must be good if you're gonna see it again, I mean why see a movie again if it sucks right?  lol.

Good Xbox deal? Erm... There's that Hulk pack thing. You get.. Erm, an Xbox, a horrible 'Hulk' style Xbox controller (bigger than ever thanks to a massive Hulk face in the middle) and a copy of Hulk for like, $330. I dunno, seems pretty crap-tastic to me.

I too saw the GBP advert during the Simpsons, and it was also on twice late last night during T2! But Sony drowned Nintendo out with their Eye Toy adverts and their HILARIOUS Socom advert. Holy crap that advert got me giggling like a school girl.

But still, a terrible game

Bah, I'm in danger of having my net access cut off, I've hardly been on this week, yet I got on last night and it would seem someone important was trying to ring and couldn't. I can't take this rubbish, I've offered to pay for a second phone line, but NO. What the f**ck do they expect?

My Dad wants to throw the entire machine out the window because he can't stand that I have a life online. He's got it in his retarded mind that talking to people via the Internet isn't a form of interaction.

Huzzah to you all. I've been in the wilderness called reality for the last few days, doing this 'social' thing - I think its a dance or something.

I was posting my rant about the Eye-toy on Friday and iSketching with Mario (which I won too *does victory dance*) but IE reset itself mid-post and I couldn't even save two words of it! HULK SMASH!!!!

Using my powers of deduction, I reckon the thing will sell decently, enough to warrant more mini-games being made for it.
I was watching it in action at EB, with some punk kids mucking around with it. The one thing that really gets me is how dodgy the collision detection is. In the ninja game, the kids were working together, and ninjas still got through them waving their arms like idiots. It's a shame.

And the games are too simple. Sure, it's a party thing, but why not have a little thing called 'plot'? The games look like they were whipped up by a six-year old!
I had more to rant about, but I don't care. I'm not going to protest the buying of lame games by having a hunger strike, because I'll probably starve to death from it.

Infernal: It's a shame that people will see things like predators lurking in chat rooms, and then assume that everyone on the Internet is a weirdo. There's always more than one side to a story, and unfortunately people don't care for the big picture. I stopped going to chat rooms, and doing anonymous chat with ICQ years ago, because it was really pointless. But now I probably spend more time on the Internet, but doing more useful stuff like posting in this thread

Mario: Sucks to be you. I was still asleep then. Football wasn't on until late afternoon, so I slept in.
And I'm actually in a similar situation to Infernal, but not as explosive. My new computer is isolated from the Internet, so I'm looking at a second line/cable, but I don't have the money!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'm gonna take this thread in a new direction. I was chatting with a mate at work today, who was the victim of a cruel prank. He got too drunk and passed out, and his 'friends' shaved the front of his hair, so he had to shave it all off.
Which brings me to my point - what's the worst/best prank you've ever heard/witnessed/performed?

The first one I'll tell you about was the one a group of us did to a friend. This guy, who i now loathe with a passion, was a sissy boy. He nearly always went out with a silk shirt on, so we bagged the hell out of him. One night we were at a friends place, getting drunk for no apparent reason, and he was there.
He had too much medicine one night and passed out, and we drew on him. Not obviously like on his face (well we did anyway) but in other hidden places. We wrote "I Like Men" on his forehead, "I'm a raging homosexual" on his back, "I shave my legs" on his leg and something else, I forget.
It was hilarious when he woke up in the morning and asked us what happened. We managed to keep a straight face, until he got up to go to the toilet and saw himself in the mirror.
And he left, thinking it was only on his face. That was the best part.

So come on, anyone top that.

I am a boring person.....
The worst thing I have ever done, was during the release of 'Scream'. You all know the story. We sneak up a chick's house, then call her home phone. I did the voice of the murderer, and she was freaked as hell. We were near her window watching her, so we could see her. She was crying when she said what she was doing, and we guessed right, and she was holding up her right arm.
Her doorbell is quite loud, and she jumped a mile when my friend went to the door and rang it.
Hahaha.

Other than that, I have played no pranks.
There was one where my friend got his eyebrow shaved off at our Yr11 retreat. That was funny as hell. I wake up the next morning, go for some breakfast in the hall, and there his is, eyebrow missing. HAhaha.

OMG, you guys are mean!  I am truly a boring person.  The first prank that comes to mind was at a slumber party I had when I was young.  My mother made me invite this girl who I had grown up with but didn't like anymore.  When she went to the bathroom, my friends and I stole her flowered underpants, soaked them and froze them in the freezer.  When she realized they were gone and had to peel them off the side of the freezer she cried and cried.  Her ease of crying was part of the reason I had not wanted her there in the first place.

He said "ah"

So there!

haha, I like to sneak up on my grandma and say boo.  Sometimes i can just sneak up on her and stand there and she turns around and jumps like three feet in the air.  She's always telling me to not do that, but sometimes I actually don't mean to.  

hehe.  I really don't like pulling pranks, (honestly don't get the chance) I was going to get my boss for April Fools day, but my mother said I probably shouldn't.  I was going to print screen his desktop and apply the pic to be his wallpaper and then turn off all the icons on his desktop.  I would love to see him try and open something and wonder why it won't.

I threw a dart at my brother's face once.  Not a prank but it'll tell you what I'll do if I get pissed off enough.  (It stuck in his cheek, it was so funny.  I didn't even get in trouble for it. )

But I can never think of good practical jokes never mind get a good chance to pull once.

blimey, RABicle should rename this thread, official aussies + other cool people thread

*eats grey ninja* you got the 1500th post! lucky you

well... my funniest prank (wasn't even planned, just sort of happened) was at a party, a guy was there i didn't like, and none of my friends like, but he allways hung around us, and i was... a little drunk and needed to relieve my self, so across the lawn i stumble to near the cars so i wont be seen, and there it is in all hits pathetic glory, this guy's Ute. *ding!* goes my mind, and the deed is done, right in the back of his ute. (thats not even the best part) so later that night he slept in the back of his ute (i wasn't alive at this stage, but got told later). and thats the end of that chapter... or is it?

no.. its not

so a few weeks after that, this guy, my best friend, his girlfriend and her friend who the guy has a massive crush on, were at the movies talking about such, and he was talking about something, and eventually he said something like 'yeah i sleep in the back of my ute at parties' (cause he was trying to sound like a big man) and at this point My best mate goes 'rememeber so and so's party' 'yeah?' 'well chris (me ) pissed in the back of your ute then, and you slept in it'

A WINNER IS ME

aparently the 3 of them couldn't stop laughing, score 1 for the good guys

Grey, Is that why you it's was you last job, or did you tape him because you were leaving?
Title: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Shift Key on July 21, 2003, 05:42:57 PM
Grey Ninja's duct taping reminded me of another party. My best friend, who was absolutely parro, kept trying to run away from the party. We have no idea why, and neither did he when we asked him the morning after.

So we devised a grand plan - duct tape him to the clothesline. Not suspended in the air, but to the post that is in the ground. So three of us grabbed him (despite his resistance) and tied him up. I think we used most of the roll, just to make sure. It did the trick, and the poor bugger slept outside, in the middle of winter. Some of the girls didn't want us to leave him there, but we chose to ignore them.
He woke up the next morning, and still couldn't get out.

To this day, he still can't remember the events of that night.

Mr Burns: Better yet, I'll make you my.. Prank monkey!

Alas, I've never devised a master prank by myself, I tend to make an ass of myself, not others

There was one hilarious prank I joined in on during our year 7 school camping trip thing, though. There was this real fat bastard in our year, and he decided to make it a habit of his to steal food supplies before people could get a chance to cook them for dinner. The guy would actually sneak off with blocks of compound chocolate! Or bags of raw sausages!

We didn't wanna guess if he ate them or not, we'd guessed he'd just toss them in the river or something. I'm sure it must of been amusing.

Anyway, last night of camp, a bunch of us waited till about 2 AM, when he was asleep in his tent. It was three to a tent, but his 'tent buddies' had gotten in on our act.

Keep in mind, he was a damn heavy sleeper. You could set off an fire cracker next to his face and he'd still sleep.
We snuck in, and coated him with whipped cream. We used two whole cans. Eventually, he looked like the mashmellow man from Ghostbusters. It would of been better if he was in his sleeping bag.. But, oh well.

We then proceeded to drag his tent, with him in it of course, onto an angry ants nest. We'd scuffed it up and got them all pissed off, it was an army.

We then ran away, hid behind some trees and giggled like school girls. Within seconds the mashmellow man lept up, bashing his head on the tent pole, tumbled over, and burst out of the front, running and screaming like a baby. Ants had covered his goo like coating, and had flooded the tent.

It was hilarious.

We got in massive trouble the next day, but it was allll worth it.

you probably shouldnt bother checking this out...        http://www.nintendonow.com/reviews  
this site has the sh!tiest game reviews ive ever come across.     my god.      WHOS WRITING THEM?!?!?!? TELL ME!! TELL MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

put it this way, "Just walking through the halls, you can tell that the graphics are incredibly detailed. You can see the textures of all the vases, tables, ghosts, and especially Luigi. Since Luigi is in every scene, you expect him to have the most detailed graphics. This is correct as the designers have spent many hours perfecting his graphical image."

yeah

" At no point in the game, do you ever experience a happy time which is unlike any other Nintendo game."

ok

i dunno... i just hate it when i read a review of a game, and the reviewer tries to sound like someone who can actually write, and knows what they are talking about.

DUHHHHHH BUMP MATTING IS TEH TEKNEEK THAT MAKE DA SOUND GO LEFT AND RIGHT DUHHHHHHHHH

"Cel Damage is a lot of fun, but it doesn’t have the most advanced
technical aspects of it. Even though it is lacking some advanced technical
aspects, it is still a lot of fun and an overall great game. Without the
cartoony atmosphere of Cel Damage, this game would not be near as fun as it is.
There is nothing wrong with the sound, but some of the sound effects are quite
unnecessary. The music is quite good though and really gets you in the right
atmosphere to play it."

from the same review:
"The music is really lacking in Cel Damage though. It fits in with the game and the levels well enough, but the music just isn't very good. It really doesn't fit in with the crazy action of the game. For a crazy game like this, you'd be expecting crazy, up-tempo music, but instead you're stuck with slower songs that just seem too normal for a game like this. My opinion of the music is also partially based on the fact that the sound effects and voices are too loud and occur too often, so you never really get to hear the music. And when there is a break in action, you're too focused on the game to listen, or to even care, about the music."

man this guys a knob
"As one of the launch titles for the Nintendo Gamecube, SSX Tricky had tremendous anticipation."

DUHHHHHHH BRAAAAAAAAAIIIIINNNSSSSSSSSS
"Throughout the game, your ears are greeted with crystal clear sounds. There are three different types of sound in the game. These four types are: voices, sound effects, and music. The voices are said by three people during SSX Tricky, the announcer, your boarder, and your opponents."

come again?
"These load times also kill the thought of the game connected."

haha
"In the multiplayer mode, there are some great aspects and some horrible aspects."

joeyjojo, that site is hilarious, mostly because they think they're sounding smart.  I just started browsing through a WW one when I found this.  I may not be the funniest thing ever, but it comes complete with typo:

"You will notice the sparks fly when you flight, the water while you sail and the very detailed face of Link. Everything was put into perspective when making the game, leaving you with an unrealistic cel-shading, that feels realistic. Did that make sense?"

the intro to that same reveiw is horrible as well:

"As I am sitting here writing an introduction to one of the most complex games for Nintendo Gamecube, where do I begin? Well I will tell you where I begin."

holy crap

"This game is an RPG and like all RPG games, it is very hard to get any sort of replay out of it. But, Legend of Zelda does allow you to replay the game over and over. There are many things that you can not grab the first time at all. If you truely want to grasp every item in the game you definitley need to play it a couple of hundred times. Invite a friend over and try to beat it in a day, think it is possible? I don't think so."

I don't understand this one:

" It is so easy to just find yourself on the same spot for hours as it is for you to be advancing for an hour straight. Don't get stuck? Yeah right."

That was all from just one review, and I am thinking this review may be the best of the bunch.

"The game is amazing that the graphics just fit right in. But in order for me to keep my job let me give you some insight about the graphics."
Erm.....what the hell is he trying to get at?

well, one time back when i was at school...         "finish the story grandpa!"              ...... ho ho ho, ok kids. well anyway, there was this really weird dude who was trying to hang out with my group. it wasnt the fact that he couldnt speak english that well, this guy had had to go because he'd try and pat your leg in PE and in fact one time in maths he asked me if i could write something "cool" on his hand like "poofter". we called him "dub dub", which was short for "WW" "which was short for "weird will".
ANYWAY, so one day will came down and sat with us and one of my friends asked if he would like some ecstasy. will refused, so my mate produced a harmless panadol from his hand and proceded to swallow it. minutes later he got this deathly look on his face and started to pretend to have an incredibly lifelike seizure, complete with convulsions (my friend was an expert at regurgitation). it carried on for a minute or two.
...... and from that day forth, the evil dub dub never returned to the magical kingdom, for he was banished! and his enchanted hand would never pat the legs of elf children again. THE END

SO I bought myself Aussie CUBE to cheer myself up!
It looks like I'll be buying that now. No more buying two mags!
And this one is semi-supoorted by Nintendo of Australia!
They have a few regional problems with their news sections, but other than that, it's all good! And blimey! They have one hellava comp! Win a GCN, GBA SP, Link cable, GBP, and Wario World!

If Aussie CUBE IS made in Australia, and there is a editorial staff for CUBE at their Sydney HQ, then dammit, I'm there.

Well, it goes like this *takes deep breath*:

I am T8. University student by day, covert operative by night. I know 200 ways to kill someone will nothing but a box of cotton buds and pimple cream - and THAT, my friends, takes real skill.
I was relieved from duty when the service relealized that even a pretzel could kill the President, and that it was an inside job (you all heard about that?). It wsan't me, but they didn't believe me. They thought that 'You Aussies have been trying to get rid of us for years!!". I had no way to defend myself, but I was shipped back to Sydney. And Good thing too. Uni started again on Monday. The limo pulls up to my house in Green Acres, and I step out...into a puddle of water.
Haha.
I was back.
The key turns, but doesn't unlock the door. Hmmm, strange. I ring the doorbell.
Sarah answers the door.
"Steve? You're home!"
"Shhhhh!" I hushed. "The readers aren't meant to know my name!"
"haha. You dummy. You're just in time for dinner!"
I walk into the kitchen to greet mum. She's chopping away and frying whatever poor animal we chose to have for dinner.
"Mum!"
"Oh! T8, you're home!" She comes toward me.
I glace at the table.
Something's wrong.......

My mother is cooking pretzels for dinner!!!!

Wait a minute.......pretzels?
The salty, choke-on-the-dough pretzels?
This is not my mother!
It is an imposter!
The terrorist has struck my family!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Prince of Persia is only exclusive for 2003 in PAL.  It'll still be out for the other systems next year.  At least that is what I read the other day, I haven't seen anything new about it.

I hate these server problems, and I hate it even more when after i post it doesn't tame me to the next page if my post is going to be on the next page.  It makes me think it never posted.

ARGGG! Anyways here's a song to keep ya'll amused.



Paint It Black

     (m. jagger/k. richards)

     I see a red door and i want it painted black
     No colors anymore i want them to turn black
     I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
     I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

     I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
     With flowers and my love both never to come back
     I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
     Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

     I look inside myself and see my heart is black
     I see my red door and it has been painted black
     Maybe then i'll fade away and not have to face the facts
     It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

     No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
     I could not foresee this thing happening to you
     If i look hard enough into the settin' sun
     My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

     I see a red door and i want it painted black
     No colors anymore i want them to turn black
     I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
     I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

     Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

     I wanna see it painted, painted black
     Black as night, black as coal
     I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
     I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
     Yeah!

Eegads, two days without real time on the Internet = near Monkey death ;_;
Heh, thanks for that message Termin8

I was quickly on here two days back, and looked at my PM's and "wha?" then I went to this thread and see a MASSIVE stretching bandwidth limit avatar. lol.

Iiii, TAFE is rubbish. Mega rubbish. Been there two days and I can't stand the thought of returning. It's just... so.. annoying. They can't make up their minds who is in what section of the class, our rooms chop and change every 3 seconds.. BLEH.

Oh well, I got me two new games this morning, which I haven't unwrapped o_O
The original Grandia and the original Rayman on PSone

Never thought I'd find a copy of Grandia, and I've wanted to play the original Rayman since I saw the development screens for the 3D0 version! So, yay! Yay for Target and it's sale!

AiAi! If you're interested, Target also have Jade Caccoon on Psone for $19.95. It's a great RPG, very much like Pokemon, except you get to join creatures together and stuff
Also, expect Eye Toy: Play to be the number one selling game the next few weeks ;_;
I was in Target two days back (before the sale), and they had at least 40 copies of the game stacked in their cabnit. I go today, and people are asking for it, but being struck with a "we sold out yesterday"

40 COPIES SOLD IN ONE STORE, IN 2 DAYS

Oh well, I did see two people with GameCube's under their arms today. $150 is an INSANE price. One guy had the GC, a GBP and a copy of Yu-Gi-Oh

I'm gunna pick up the last issue of Nintendo Gamer tomorrow. I must admit, I never bought a copy before (N64 gamer doesn't really count), I stick to Hyper. But since it's the last, and it has VJ on the cover, I'm in!

Ever play that game on Dreamcast called....Timestalkers. Its like Pokemon but more RPGish.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on July 24, 2003, 11:56:17 PM
Yes Mario! Get Jade Caccoon!
I borrowed it off a friend about two years back, it's fun mixing the creatures together and calling them "sh*t face" or "cheese donkey-mon"

Never played TimeStalkers, HiTmaN. Isn't it made by the same team that did Land Stalker on the Genesis? That was one of my favorite 16-Bit games

It might end up okay, but at the moment they've screwed us all over. Dropping modules, changing our time table whenever they please, teachers not showing up, and erm... the arcade machines cost $2.50

Infernal: I'm back to Uni on Monday. Bupbow!
At least I've got the UniBar to go to before/during/in place of/after studying.

And I was in EB on Thursday, minding my own business (well not really, but that doesn't matter) when this kid, who thinks I'm looking at the Eye-Toy when I'm actually looking at the PC games (which are in opposite directions - go figure), and says, "Cool, eh?"
Now I could have taken that statement and proceeded to shove it down the poor kid's throat with a baseball bat, but I said, "Nah" and walked away. I didn't want to crush the casual gamer's spirit and... why the hell am I saying this?
*reaches for his time machine*
*realises he still needs to invent time machine*

I refuse to acknowledge the Eye-Toy as a real game, or a real device. Thus, it shouldn't be on any charts, anywhere, and all products should be destroyed and buried at the bottom of the sea with those XBAWXs.
*runs*

And Yu-Gi-Oh? *shakes head*
To quote the rants of Abe Simpson: "I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was, now what I'm with isn't it. And whats "it" seems weird and scary to me."

PIAC: Damn Sorny for getting PAL exclusivity! *skakes fist*
But I guess I'd rather them than having Microsoft's grubby mits all over what's shaping up to be a great game.
And FF:CC looks to be another 2004 game. Check out Penny Arcade for Gabe's reaction . I'm not going to link it because everyone should know about PA, and if you don't, then

Hey, did you guys know that Project Gotham Racing 2 is set in Sydney? And it looks awesome, theres the harbour bridge, the opera house, and heaps of other familiar places. The game looks awesome too, i might get an xbox for it

And... yeah, eye toy is ghey. Its teh kiddy! Speaking of kiddy, i hope Pokemon channel makes it out this year. December 1st is the american date, im hoping we get it before christmas... and im still waiting for Pokemon Box.

Anyway, i want F-Zero GX so much!
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on July 26, 2003, 01:36:45 AM
I want MGS3 on PS2 more than F-Zero now
It looks fan-bloody-tastic, and it disses GTA Vice City. It's a FRIGGIN WINNER!

But yeah...
*Goes back to listening to GX MP3's*

Too many good GC and PS2 games coming out this year ;_____; X45
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on July 26, 2003, 02:59:11 AM
well, you should get the GCN games first!
PS2 has enough sales already.
It's time we showed Nintendo of Australia that we do care about the games when they're released!
Get MGS3 in two years time.
It'll still be the same price, so it'll be like you bought it at launch!

Nah, I've given up on Control Freaks. Sleep is better. And football.

Woo! Hooked! Woo!
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on July 26, 2003, 10:09:10 PM
yet again Control Freaks (aka Cuntrol Reaks, Ignore Gamecube Freaks) sucked balls, they hardly had anything but Xbawx games, they did a suck up piece on Midtown Madness and made it out to be the second coming of jesus on wheels, then they had some crap about AFL (GheyFL) Live 2k4, and more horrible xbawx stuff, then they showed a gamecube game! Pigglets Big Adventure -__- and this was the only PS2 Game the showed aswell if i remember correctly. they showed 2 GBA games, Crash Bandicoot  -____- and Splinter Cell, where they said, AND i quote 'if your expecting to play the same game as the bigger cousin on Xbawx then you will be disapointed' (or something similar to that) FFS! how stupid do they think we are! DUHHHHHHHH MY GBA DOES 3D GRAPHICS DUHHHHHH IM GOING TO GO PLAY SUNIC MEGA ERECTION NOW *eats shoes*

i hate this show -_-
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on July 26, 2003, 10:45:57 PM
Bah, stupid show. Did Nintendo friggin' give up on sponsering the show after the first episode of this season or something? First episode was 90% Nintendo, and the advert breaks were packed with Nintendo adverts..

OH NO, WE GAVE THEM MONEY TO SHOW SOME OF OUR GAMES, WE COULD OF SPENT THAT ON A NEW POOL TABLE FOR THE OFFICE. QUICKLY, LETS JUST LET MICROSOFT THROW MONEY AT CONTROL FREAKS! ALL THIS SPENDING MONEY HAS MADE ME TIRED! NEED A NAP!

Shifty: I've got MMBN 2 sitting in my mess of a hard drive. Been left untouched for like, months
I really enjoyed what I played of the first though. I imagine number 2 is much of the same?

It was a nice breath of fresh air for MegaMan.
Oh yeah! That GameCube Mega Man game is out here! Saw it today. The cover art is cool. Me wantee to hire it!

Erm, anyway, has anybody here played that Metal Gear Solid game on Game Boy Colour? Is it good?
I saw it at Cash Convertors in fancy condition for $10, and I spose I need to experience a GBC game on my stinky original GBA once in my life

I'd go get the ROM to give it a test run, but yeah, GBC ROMS are hard to find now. Outstanding.

hmmm, not down there sorry.  I was going to buy it after seeing it on cable, but it was like 26.00 for the DVD and I didn't feel like paying that much at the time.  Maybe I'll ask for it for my birthday, along with Spirited Away.  Buying a copy not an option for you Termin8?

Is that directed at me, or at Infernal, Mario and Joey?  Well I saw it on Cinemax several months ago and watched it everytime it came on after that for about a week then they stopped showing it.  So in other words I really liked it.

Infernal: Yeah, it is a different change to the old-school Megaman games. I showed it to my little brother and he didn't care.
Stupid kids, wouldn't know a good game if it bit them in the... *mutters*
I didn't play number 1 actually.
And GC Megaman? Hmm.
*checks wallet*
Well, not at the moment

PIAC: Maybe Control Freaks should be renamed to "Microsoft Bought Us an Island, so we're now a Very Unbiased Games Show!"

Really? It's not out in America? Yet it's an American movie?
It has Edward Norton, Rachel Weisz (with a horrible American accent - especially if you're used to her in the Mummy), Andy Garcia and Dustin Hoffman.
It's a pretty good movie. Smart. Like the Usual Suspects, but not so violent. The beginning is quite confusing, like Usual Suspects, but you get it all at the end. Bloody brilliant.

But they are bloody hot.
I just turned 18, so i can legally dream about them! Yeah! And I hear they will be turning 18 soon too. Like next year or something.

BUt those girls are everywhere, it's so annoying.
There are posters of them all over Target and Big W and Kmart. Their movies are taking over the entertainment shelves, and that Sweet 16 game is in the top 10 for Gamecube games at my local Big W (Chullora)!!!
It's caaa-raayzeee!

They are abso-f**king-lutely hot though.
No doubt about it.
But man, there are some losers out there who've even created a counter to countdown the time to when they turn 'legal'. And geez.....what are they gonna do then? Start making fake pics of them? LOSERS!

I proceeded to drive on the left hand side of the road. I'M AUSSIE DAMMIT. OUT OF MY WAY OLD MAN IN GREEN CAR! BEEP BEEP! GAME OVER!
Start again, and I go thru a red light. I then hear one of them spew out of the speakers: "NOW WE CANT GO TO THE PROM!"

OH NO SORRY GIRLS I HAVE FAILED.

Erm, yeah.

I just hope some turd man didn't go in and buy them
But I doubt it, since the only games that really sell are stink pants PSone games. Stink pants games like.. Some.. Boat game. I dunno, some guy was getting all excited over a really scary looking boat game at Cashies today. And I was like, "OH YEAH, BITCH, I'M BUYING SATURN GAMES"

Games were SNES games
I left PIAC a little message on MSN with a bunch of games that were at the magical pawn shop. Unirally, Illusion of Time (Gia), Lufia, Harvest Moon, Dr. Mario & Tetris, and.. Some others I can't remember

All with boxes, and every game except Teddy Boy has the manual! Illusion of Time even has a funky map thing. I went "ooh, funky map thing!"

They've also got a BUNCH of SNES games there without boxes. Must of got em in yesterday or something. Why the sudden increase in people selling their SNES and Saturn games, I don't know..
Big names include MKIII, Stunt Race FX, Bubsy, Sparkster (NTSC) and um.. Yeah. LOTS! I didn't really get to spend a decent amount of time there today =/

The guy in EB said he wasn't sure about the game, and I wanted to bag him for being a biased fool, and then he tried to sell DOA:XBV. I couldn't stop laughing. I muttered 'jiggle engine' from a safe distance, and then left.

Oh yeah, and we sold out of Eye-Toy at work in 30 minutes today. Sad, but Crazy get.

*jumps up and down like an idiot*

I'm happy to pay, depends on what you see is fair.

And the Tasmania thing? Haven't said that. If I tried that, chicks would probably just say "WTF?"

With Prime, can you play it in 60Hz on your new TV? It's a helluva lot smoother than normal Prime.

KnowsNothing, I'd like to dispute this:
Quote

Just finished Wind Waker!!! WAH-HOO! Best ending to any game I have ever beaten (that's right, ALL TWO of them)


Go get yourself OoT. Best. Game. Ever. 'Nuff said.
The Final Boss battle is one of the best I've played. It leaves a warm, satisfying feeling.

Ms.Pikmin, can't say I've heard of that, at least at PGC.
*shrugs*
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on August 04, 2003, 04:53:30 AM
Ms. Pikmin: I have no idea.

Shifty: If you've never played OoT, and you played WW first, then OoT sucks big time. I can barely stand it now. But i do agree the final boss battle is damn cool. If Nintendo actually remade OoT using WW's graphics and animations, to make the characters in OoT more vivid, then OoT would life sales of WW even MORE!.
Similarly, when Nintendo make a realistic Zelda game, remaking WW (and WW2?), with real 3D graphics would lure in the masses like a moth to a flame.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on August 04, 2003, 05:40:44 AM
Shifty:  I've beaten OoT.  The only reason I liked WW better was because of the graphics.  Ganondorf looked so COOL!  

 With the two swords, and the water falling, and....WAH-HOO!  The sword in Ganondorf's head.  And then the ending, with the King flooding Hyrule with him along with it, him just standing there as Link reaches out.  The credits were cool too.

I guess I should replay the ending to OoT again.  But my controllers are sooooo horrible, and (since I've played WW)  I just can't bring myself to complete the bonus disk.  

Ms. Pikmin:  ?
PIAC:  HOMESTARRUNNER!!!!!  Teen Girl SquAds are defidently my favorites!

So I returned them this morning, and now they only have stink pants sports games in the SNES section ;___;

what cover?  we're all aussies here, right?  whoever isn't can just get off now.  it's obvious from my profile that I don't know where the hell i'm from, so, since australia is cool, I come here.  Plus I'm a lonely kiwi, like ohhboy.

speaking of broken games, I've had FF7 for MANY months, but I've been too busy playing FF8 (god knows why I played THAT one first) to notice IT WAS BROKEN.  I'll never get a refund this late.  I've had it for maybe 5-6 months.  I'm going tommarrow to gamestop.  i'll tell them that it was in my summer home and I only played it till now.  what a plan ... crap.

I must get xenogears and chrono cross, and maybe final fantasy origins.  the only reason i got PS was for PRGs, and some fighters.  xenogears is like, expensive for an older game, though, and I just bought mario golf.  I'll bring my wallet to gamestop tommarrow and buy HUNDREDS of PS games without my parents knowing.  They don't like it when I buy games this often.  what a plan...crap

i got DVD 1 of season 1 of Futurama for $20 at HMV, Vampire Hunter D at EB for $20 (he price matched it for me), the future of videogames DVD for gamecube for $14 (but it will really cost me about $1000 odd in the long run :\ so many games i want, SOOOO MANY!) i also preordered Veiwtiful Joe and Mario Kart Doubledash!! :\ so thas 3 games preodered, and such, and worst of all I DIDN"T GET ANY DONUTS! ;___; but i did spend a bit of time talking to mr EB salesman, hes the big gamecube fan that works there, so i allways make sure he serves me

F'ing cold, i was sneezing, coffing and talking in a wierd sick voice all day. When i was playing basketball i stacked it, which i thought nothing of at the time. Then, on my way to TAFE i missed the train and arrived late to find the girl i was going to ask out today being asked out by someone else, and it looked like she said yes ;_; . So i sat down at my desk next to some loser (all teh other seats were taken -___-) and was f'ing bored and pissed off. Then at break time i got yelled at for yelling at someone over a game of pool which i obviously didnt cheat in. Then i went back to class, was bored, walked around the room, gave mr stinky pants evil guy who i hate now, an evil stare. Got on the packed train, had to stand up, walked home from the station. Arrived home (at 6pm) to realise that my computer was on and i was signed into MSN since like 10am because my f'ing dad turned my computer on for some retarded reason, messages get, people were pissed off at me for not replying to them. THEN, i looked in the mirror, only to find the left side of my face covered in blood. I guess it must have happened when i stacked while playing basketball, at 12am. WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME I HAD F'ING BLOOD ON MY FACE -_________-

Ooh, Mario, tough day.

Poor Mario, maybe a round of golf in the mushroom kingdom will cheer you up

If that doesn't work, remember, you've always got Peach




Oh yeah, i just thought of this.  About broken games, if it's multiple disks like Final Fantasy 7 for the PS1, and you buy a damaged THIRD DISK  you're not going to know about it for a while.  Which is evil because by then you won't be able to return it AND you don't get to see the ending.




Heh.  Just went to Gamestop.  Didn't bother returning the game, I just sold it.  They sell me broken game, I sell them broken game.  If they call me up telling me it doesn't work, then I'll tell them the truth.  And then move to Australia so the cops don't get me when I refuse to repay the store.  Har.  Only got 6 bucks for it, but it went towards the purchase of Xenogears!  Only one left!  And it's mine. Didn't have enough for that AND Chrono Cross, let alone the 10 dollar copy of MGS that I was really tempted to buy, but they'll both have to wait.

And we can't cheer up with a round in the Mushroom Kingdom, game's not out yet. AND THANKS TO NINTENDO BEING POO HEADS, WE WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO IMPORT NOW!

*is pissed off at Nintendo turning into nazi's again*

KnowsNothing: Heh, I sold off a copy of Doom 64 to EB once, because it got stood on, and it didn't work. Put it in its case, tossed it their way (well, not really 'tossed'.... 'hurled', maybe) and got $15 for it towards Perfect Dark. I never got a call saying it was busted. Feel a bit sorry for the poor bastard that bought it though, because knowing EB, they'd more than likely say "Nah, it was working when we got it, you must of broken it! NO REFUND! GIVE ME FATTY FOODS! And then, you know, they'd transform into something like.. Erm.. A blob. Of doom. That eats jelly beans. And stuff.

And no donuts, PIAC? ;___;
I got myself two donuts on Monday, and I felt like an idiot when I asked the guy for them. You know the ones that are shaped like people? Love 'em. Anyway, I go up to the guy, and go "I'd like two little boys, thanks" BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE CALLED! And some lady behind me looked at me like she was either laughing, or wanted some. I hope it was none of the above.

Erm, I'm bored today. I might actually stop being a prick and get a new comic up!

Hey all. I turn my back for a day or two and the whole world goes down the toilet!

Mario: Bummer day. Bupbow for the loser who went after your chick. But I have a grand plan for him.
1. Punch him in the face.
2. Kick him in the guts.
3. Repeat.

Termin8: Agreement? But he only has one head! It must be an imposter Yamauchi.

Infernal: Megaman Battle 2 is definitely addictive, and I'm not sure why. I've put in 18 hours or so already, and I'm still hooked. The story's kinda lame (the hero's name is Lan - worst name ever) but it's still cool.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on August 07, 2003, 12:45:57 AM
speaking of megaman, after reveiwing the DVD showcasing the GCN at E3, ive decided i want Megaman Battle Network Transmission thingy (the GCN game ) anyone know if its any good? it looks cool, ill read some reveiws, but i trust you guys over reveiwers
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on August 07, 2003, 01:24:36 AM
Yeah, that preview made me sit up and go "Holy moly chaboly"
Well, not really. It's just that the game looked a hell of alot better than what I'd though it'd be. Megaman looks like a bit of a tosser, though. ;___;

Sorta plays a bit like Battle Network on GBA, ie: RPG bits, entering the Internet... And stuff. But the GC version has alot of pure old school Mega Man action. OLD SCHOOL!

I remember GameSpot said it was a good game. Nothing fan-diddly-tastic, but good. But then again, it's GameSpot

*Gives some pie to Nitsu, too*

Post by: nitsu niflheim on August 07, 2003, 03:20:21 AM
Thanks Infernal.  I like chocolate.

I heard that GCN Megaman is hard, a lot harder than other Megaman games, at least maybe only early on though.

I have battle network 1 on GBA and only remotely like it.  Not available for months new and I didn't want used, so when it finally was available new I got it and can't say I'm in love with it.  it bores me more than intertains me, but that's just me.  And Capcom is working on # 4 already.

Quote

"ROCKS OUT WITH THE COCKS OUT"!!!

*runs away from Termin8*

PIAC: The GC one is a true 2D game, not like the isometric 2D in the GBA games. You use your chips in real-time apparently, but I'm not sure about the whole side-scrolling thing. It was nice in the days of Megaman, but the GC can do better than that. Something different. That's why I liked the combat arenas in the GBA games - simple to learn, difficult to master.

I saw a review somewhere, maybe IGN, and they didn't think too highly of it.

Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on August 08, 2003, 06:03:29 PM
Ha, I dunno, there's nothing like the "magic" of an 8-player Daytona USA game at the arcades.
I never played it seriously, either. NEVER. I'd always go out of my way to crush the other players up against the walls so they'd do a funky little flip.

*Glances over at Saturn*
Aww, Daytona's no fun on Saturn.

Will F-Zero have that same charm? I think it may, what with the shoving and the pushing and oooh, no it's exploded! Have to wait till Friday to find out =/

And the machine better take tokens. I'm sick of places like TimeZone with their swipe card rubbish. NO, I DONT WANT A CARD. JUST TOKENS!

I think Mario Kart comes out here like the middle of November, the 11th or 18th I don't remember which and am too lazy to go check.  I haven't pre-ordered the game yet, and will probably just wait unil next year to pick the game up as I keep increasing the number of games I have on pre-order.  Yesterday I ordered both the GCN and GBA Harvest Moon games, because EBGames.com is giving a stuffed cow away as a bonus if you order one of the games.... SO I GET TWO STUFFED COWS!!!!!!!!  And they are so cute and adorable and will make you warm and fuzzy inside when you see it.

Ethics does not equal religion, first of all.  It's a moral philosophy.  And I don't have any real ethics, so I have to make up dumb stuff.  Why don't I play arcade games?  1: Most of them suck.  F-Zero probably won't, but most of them do. 2: They cost way too much money.  50 cents to play a game is insane, and you have to pay every time you want to play.  That's dumb. 3: I don't like the impression it gives people.  Sure, I don't mind people knowing that I'm a weird Nintendo freak, but I do not want them relating me to some of the people that play arcade games. 4: Arcades are dumb.

There are other deep, subconscious reasons, too.  Probably some horrible accident involving an arcade game in my childhood I dunno.  I just never liked playing arcade games.  F-Zero could be an exception, but since I'm buying the game for GC anyway, I doubt it.  Why play a slightly different, better graphics version for fifty cents a shot when I can play a close second best for free?  Well, aside from fifty dollars to start.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on August 09, 2003, 12:09:25 PM
I know that ethnics not = religion.

Anyway, I agree tha arcades cost too much, and I also agree with (whoever said it) that stupid swipe cards are stupid.  I'll pay a quarter for a game.  That's the way it should be.

I suck at all arcade games anyway.  
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on August 09, 2003, 03:39:58 PM
Cheapest arcade machine I've seen recently is the pirated NES multi-game arcade machine at our local arcade. A mere 50 cents for two credits, and nobody touches it since it's full of old NES games.

"EWW, I'M TOO COOL FOR KIRBY OR MARIO BROS. I'M GUNNA GO SPEND $2 ON HOUSE OF THE DEAD BECAUSE I'M COOL."

Well, except.. They're not really called Kirby or Mario. Mario 3 is called "Super Jump v3". Which is hilarious. I could spend an entire day on 50 cents, there.

And uh.. The weekly comics, Termin8?
Well, I'm kinda lagging behind a bit.. Like.. two weeks. Ahaha, i'm so lazy. They'll make a return, in style, soon. *Goes back to sleep*

Oh wait, the "Super Microsoft Happy Kawaii Mega Fun Time Whore Show" is on at 12:00! I gotta watch that. -_-

Hostile Creation: Religion eh? *tiptoes away*
And 50 cents! I'd be happy with that. We have to pay $2 for the decent games! *shakes fist*

And the American thread? *thinks about gate-crashing*

Termin8: I haven't seen American Pie 3 yet. Some mixed reviews, so I'll probably wait until it's on DVD or something.
But I did see that suspense movie Identity. And my advice. Don't. Just don't. The story is all over the place, and really screwed up. *explodes*

If I had money. . . I'd get an, um. . . life.

I cannot wait for F-Zero, Mario Kart, And Kirby's Air Ride.  Once upon a time, I was only going to get one of them (probably Mario Kart), but now. . . dang Nintendo.  I might have a life if I didn't spend so much money on great games.

I was gone all weekend and miss all the mayhem.  But I was busy.  I finished Resident Evil Zero. Started and finished Silent Hill on Sunday, and spent a halfhour last night trying to figure out where I left off in Silent Hill 2, fighting with cats all Sunday Morning (I will put better explanation in journal later, ok, sometime today or tomorrow.)

Damn it, i STILL havent finished that game. Im up to the part where you find out who that freaky looking guy is (forget his name) and how he came back to life differently after being assasinated, then he turns into this wierd scary monster and i keep dying from it :\ It takes about 20 minutes to get up to him as well because there isnt a save point RIGHT before him, and its really annoying me

wsssssup LADAYYYYS!

so i got a gb player yesterday + golden sun: teh lost age. ive barely started playing golden sun yet though because of yoshis island. i finished it last night. i must say that im pretty dissapointed with the music for the final boss. it sounds like a final fight tune for gods sake.

i kinda feel like a dipsh*t for buying the gb player actually. i mean, lately ive hardly been playing my gba at all. and now ive spent 100 bucks just so that ill play these games. im gradually getting over it though. i just wish you didnt need to hook up additional gba's with carts to play multiplayer games. i soooo wanna woop everyones ass in street fighter but i cant.

infernal, your comics are slippin' man. if i dont laugh at your next one i'll kick your ass... at street fighter.

If anyone is interested in how my weekend was, then just click on the Nitsu's Journel (I just realized this morning I spelled Journal wrong. ) at the bottom of my posts.  I had some unfun with cats.

I can't really help you Mario, other than to keep trying and eventually you'll get get past him.  

The last boss is a pain in the ass, because just like past RE games, you have a time limite before the mansion explodes.  You have to keep that Marcus Queen thing away from Rebecca so she can turn four different valves to open the roof.  Luckily though you don't control Rebecca and she will automatically move from valve to valve, but you have to have Billy distract Marcus Queen to keep him/it off of her so she can turn them.  I had more than three minutes left with the counter when she turned the 4th valve.

Cats are scary!

Woo, I broke a door at TAFE yesterday, AND made a Network cable. I'm so proud! AND SONIC HEROES FIRST? This is so wrong. ;__;

And erm, finished Luigi's Mansion this morning, too. It got quite good later on into it. I quite enjoyed the music room, where it played the original Mario Bros. theme, then the ghost played a tune from Mario 3 on the piano.

I got an F grade overall , My 'Mansion' was nothing more than a crappy little shack. That's all 36 Million gold bits can get you these days? WOW!

Kirby's Air Ride
Rebel Strike
Viewtiful Joe

Super Mario Advance 4 (also got pushed back)
Mario and Luigi
Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland

I play on somehow buying all of them plus more that im probably forgetting

Does Air Ride come out in September here in the States?  I'm not sure. . . I've already got the money aside for it and F-Zero, now all there is to do is wait.  I'm glad I don't have to get all the games Mario's getting, though.

If Animal Crossing launches for $99.95, I'll laugh at it. It's nice to know we're actually getting it, but c'mon, it's well over a year old. I refuse to pay full price for basically an Nintendo 64 game. There, my angst for today.

I'm gunna go pre-order Mario Kart Double Dash tomorrow, and Sonic Heroes! Wee!
Thanks for the kind words with regards to the comics, guys.

speaking of ho's... when i picked up B&W i also got the last edition of nintendo gamer, just for the f*ck of it. i havent bought a gaming mag since i was in year 7 (8 years ago). ANYWAY, i saw a pic of that kelly starr biatch. what the hell is the attraction to that pasty geek. she could do with some more fat on her bones too. in fact, so could all ladies these days.

I SAW F-ZERO AX, UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL, AND HAD SEX WIT*... Erm, yeah, I saw it today.
I waited in line for over TEN MINUTES to have a go, then I left, a sad, depressed monkey. They need more than two machines, dammit!

The game looks WONDERFUL. It's insane. Think of F-Zero X, then imagine playing that on 16X fast foward. The whole machine tilts and shakes, too! If you hit a wall, it shakes, if you go up a loop, the machine tilts back slightly, then foward! Awesome! You control with a steering wheel, of course, but it's a FUNKY steering wheel. It's cut in HALF! And the boost buttons are on the wheel!

One dude fell of the track when hitting a loop. , a CPU racer nudged him and sent him flying into the city below, it was hilarious. The memory card slot has remained! You'll be able to chuck in a memory card and er, save lap times, I guess.

There's also another card slot. Looked a bit like the Initial D arcade machine set-up. I guess that saves lap times and stuff, too? *Shrugs shoulders*

And yeah, I MUST PLAY IT. But the lines were insane, and there were people just pumping money into it, BEING WHORES. Like.. I'd be, if I got on.

ARRRRRGGGG!

"Did you actually get to see the carbon rod?"

Lucky Infernal! This just makes me want GX even more.
And Initial D is an intriguing concept. For the uninitiated, it's an arcade equivalent of a memory card in this racer. It stores data on cars owned, and mods done to them.
I'd give it a go, but I'd rather throw my money at something more significant, like F-Zero AX!

WHERE ARE YOU, F-ZERO? HEELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on August 14, 2003, 10:54:34 PM
also to the further uninitiated, initial D is an anime about cars thats about the sum of my knowledge on the subject, i do want to see it how ever, im kinda into cars/car mods etc.

also i just got an email back from the seller selling chronotrigger to me, the final cost was $36 us, i asked her how much my postige is BAMM $81 fcuking dollars later >=| well pants to her, shes not getting my money >=|

36.00 US dollars for Chrono Trigger and is that 81.00 for postage also US dollars?  That is really stupid, postage more than twice the cost of the game.  I wouldn't buy it either, you can use that money on something else and maybe try finding a better deal somewhere else.  Good Luck!
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion

Post by: Termin8Anakin on August 16, 2003, 05:24:18 AM
Well, I have gone one step closer than Infernal.........
I have played the phenomenally awesome F-Zero AX!!!!

While it might be a tad expensive to play (2 bucks a game, whether you win or not), it's totally worth it.

First off, when you put in your two dollars, you will presented two options:
- Create a Pilot Card and
- Insert Pilot Card.
Whether you're only playing once or intend to play again, you will need a card regardless, so in order to create a card, put in ANOTHER 2 bucks. Type in a name (I put TERMIN8 ), and yo'll be presented with a random no-name character that's been chosen for you so you can earn points for him/her and get upgrades.

Now, choose whether you want to race, or do Time Trial.
Of course, bening my first time, I chose Race.
At this point, if the other player (there's two machines in the arcade), has ALSO chosen Race at the same time as you, you will now be versing earch other.
That's right, F-Zero AX has two player.

Now, you choose a pilot and machine.

And then, choose a track. All six are available immediately. Mute City and Aeropolis are Easy (8 laps), Outer Space and Port Town are Medium (6 laps), Lightning and Green Plant are Advanced (3 laps).
Choose one, and begin.

Hang on..............
A WARNING screen pops up.

"Your seat belt is not fastened. For safety reasons, please fasten your seat belt."

What the...? Seat Belt? I grab it, and put it in. The game resumes. This hsould be interesting.....

"Welcome to Mute City"

"3! 2! 1! Gooo!"
I slam my foot on the accelerator........

WHOA!!!!!!!!
HOLY F**K!!!!!!
This game is too fast to describe!!!!!
I run over a boost plate, and take a tight turn.
WHOA!
The seat tilts! I hang onto the steering wheel for dear life.
I seriously don't know why they put in a brake pedal for.......the air brakes are so fast.

The handling is superb. The speed is blisteringly fast!
I finish the race. I came first!!!!
The results show on screen. The points accumalate, but I don't have enough to upgrade my machine.

"GAME OVER. Please take out your Pilot Card, and unfasten your seat belt."

I do all that.
My hands are sweating, my pulse is racing. My sunnies fell out of my pocket. And a crowd of people came to admire my F-Zero skills. Thank you, thank you....

It's 4pm, and I'm sposed to go home........I yank out 2 more dollars, insert my card, and fasten my seat belt.
F-Zero AX is more than an arcade game......it's a bloody RIDE.


EDIT: Oh, I forgot the link to the pic of my License Card
Termin8, official pilot of F-Zero AX!!!

Sorry, I don't do chatrooms.  This is the closest I'll get to one.

Actually, it's not me, it's my parents.  They think you guys are some 40 year old males seducing me.  Like I said before, they don't like moderated forums, so a chatroom is out of the question.  It's all the fault of this stupid "Internet Safety" class they went to.

I had MSN once, and I went on and was like "hi'  and my friend was like "what's up"  and I was like "nothing" and he was like "g2g" and I was like " What the hell does THAT mean?!"  but I didn't actually say that.  I figured out on my own what g2g meant, and all the other stupid acronyms they come up with.

One time, two years ago, I made a joke on a test I took, and my teacher put "lol" next to it.  I couldn't believe that my math teacher was using that stuff when I didn't even know what it meant!

Now, I make up my own, like...

POMH!!  GTTHOM!!!!  (possums on my head!  get them the hell off me!)

Eegads, it's an Internet disaster. I'd been without access for over 24 hours. TWENTY FOUR. AND I USUALLY LIVE ONLINE. Eegads, not even my GC or PS2 could keep me entertained. I had to resort to TRUSTY SATURN. I mean, yeah, I could of actually gotten up and gone outside. But hey, then the sun would make me explode.

But yes, now it's back to normal. I wasn't given a reason why it was down. Stupid cheap internet access.
Oh yeah, I had a pie yesterday, a frozen one. Me with my trusty kitchen skills, I chucked it in the oven, pulled it out 20 mins later, and started eating it.

THE MIDDLE WAS STILL FROZEN. So I made a disgusted noise, went out to the back step and hurled it up in the air, sailing into my stupid neighbours backyard. Score, I hit one of their kids bikes. WINNER IS ME. I ran back inside, giggling like a school girl.

And damn you Termin8.

PIAC, $44 for postage is a big ripoff.  Before bidding, always ask the seller what the shipping will be.

I was in Target today (not the store I ususally go to), and they had Harvest Moon: Back to Nature for PSone (3 copies)!  For $20!  I was so tempted to buy it.  But wanted to check if it plays well on ePSXe first.

Hey I forgot to say that when you play Time Trial on AX, you can use the password they give you to put your time onto the AX Internet Ranking at the official site!
I haven't done it yet........

But I checked the Internet Ranking at www.f-zero.jp, and guess what, in all of Australia, there are only THREE people who have  registered and been ranked.

I'll have to make sure I play TT next time and register.........damn.......three people is pathetic!

I'll just assume you're kidding so I don't embarrass myself.

About ten days before I can get my anxious little hands on F-Zero.  Me can hardly wait. . .

Strangely, the thing that initially got me into this game were the following two things: the graphics, and those tubes you can go upside down on.  I had my eye on it, but this one video made me want to get it.  And talk like this has confirmed that I will.

*performs bullet-dodging slowmotion dive out window (while firing back)*

heres the dis rapup for the lost age:

* gun barrel to then head tedious dialogue sequences
* crap overworld map
* navigation in dungeons. "hmmmm, i cant really tell where i am now because this room looks identical to every other one ive been in so far."
* crap art style. (im only really referring to the enemies and a few of the battle backgrounds.)
* has anyone ever really damaged a weapon???
*other stuff.

PIAC:  Two questions.
1)  How do you get so excited over a package NOT FOR YOU?
2)  I've been wondering this for a while.  What does "PIAC" mean?  Does it stand for something?
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Ms.Pikmin on August 18, 2003, 07:55:36 AM
Knowsnothing, Piac said that the package was addressed to him and that the return address was from Infernal and his mom.

I just had to post this because it was so frustrating.  I was speaking to a friend of my husband the other day and he mentioned he was going to get a new gaming system.  He went on to say that there were several GC games that he liked but that he would probably get a PS2 anyway because GC is for girls and homosexuals.  I then attempted to strangle him but I hurt my hand trying to reach through the phone.  


Edit: I even tried "If you were secure in your masculinity you wouldn't let a gaming system and what people thought define it."  Didn't work.

Post by: Infernal Monkey on August 18, 2003, 01:25:16 PM
Ahaha, my mum wrote 'infernal monkey' on the package? Hehehe, cool.
And know what I forgot to chuck in there.... Zoom!

I was rolling around on the floor yesterday (don't ask) and I saw the cartridge next to my powerboard thingy, and I went "AWWW CRAP!" Bupbow.

nitsu, Trusty Saturn refers to 'trusty' Sega Saturn! MMMMM, LOW POLYGON FUN! But now I have SOS - The Final Escape on PS2, got it yesterday. It's a game NINTENDO WOULD MAKE, DAMMIT!. It's the most original game I've EVER seen on PS2.

Basically, the game starts off showing every day life in a massive city, it gets hit with a gigantic Earthquake, it then cuts to your main dude, and he wakes up several hours after it hit. That's it! It's a free roaming adventure game, no shooting, no time limits, it's pure adventure. Things fall apart around you, entire buildings fall to the ground with after shocks, it's FRIGGIN AWESOME. You start off on a big bridge, and there's a train station UNDER the bridge. I called out for help and heard someone reply, it then cut to a train hanging off the edge of the destroyed track.

OFF I GO! First thing I do is jump up onto a car that's hanging over the edge, thinking I could jump down from there, BUPBOW, car starts sliding off, WHOOPS! I fall to my death. Eventually I get down, and enter the train. I run lots, BUPBOW! Train starts shaking around, ENTIRE BIT OF TRACK BREAKS OFF. BUPBOW!

Next, I get back in, and see the woman in the train, she proclaims I may need rope to tie to her. NO! I run down to her, tracks bend, train falls off, I fall out of one end of train, it falls down after me, and crushes me. BUPBOW!

Sorry for the PS2 pimping, but dammit... TIS FUN! I'm addicted. Sad thing is the game will more than likely get ignored, just like other good games. *Sad face*

And AiAi, GET HARVEST MOON. NOW! TODAY! GO!GO!GO!

Ico is one of the most incredible games ever made. O_O It's probably the most atmospheric games I've ever played. I cried at the end it was so amazing (it's ending is my favorite scene in a game ever). I REALLY hope there's some truth to these "Nico" rumors. And don't you Europeans complain anymore- the PAL version of Ico not only has a translation of Yorda's dialogue your second time through (which is always in an alien language in the NSTC version), but there's also a two-player mode and a lightsaber (which replaces the mace on the mace sidequest your second time through).  
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Hostile Creation on August 18, 2003, 03:02:26 PM
Ico looked good, and that game you talk about, Infernal, sounds good.  They should release them for Gamecube.  Those are the types of games that GC fans buy.  Might even do better on GC than PS2.
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: mouse_clicker on August 18, 2003, 03:08:07 PM
I'd love Ico on the Gamecube, but it's actually made by Sony, so that isn't happening. Unfortunatley, Ico didn't sell very well at all, which is why I'm really worried Sony won't put out for a sequel. Often times true originality is overlooked for the same mindless dribble we've all been privy to our entire lives.

There should be a law against being stupid. . . but it's not going to happen, because politicians are all idiots, and they don't want a law that'll get them out of office.

The penalty?  It depends on the seriousness.  Not owning a Gamecube could get you up to ten years

number ONE!

HARVEST MOON IS AWSOME! its so addicitive and fun! im almost finnished the first 'month' (the game goes in 30 day seasons, 4 per year, by 3 years) and i have almost $5000 (a chicken costs $1000, a bag of seeds costs $200, to put it in perspective for you) and i just cant stop playing! (cue excuse for why i haven't been playing ED )

number TWO!

HARVEST MOON IS AW... oh wait thats not it... HARVEST MOON ON GCN SHOULD HAVE MULTIPLAYER! i was sitting there thinking... fs my farm is enomrous, there is no way i could manage this by my self... it should be multiplayer! a husband wife and kids, or 4 guys trying to earn some money etc... come on natsumi (is that who makes it?) make the GCN version 4 player!

Oh yeah, it's CRAP TIME for Australia (sorta)

Mission IImpossible: Operation Surma, Terminator 3:Rise Of The Machines and Astrix & Obelix XXL, TransWorld Surf: Next Wave, Evolution Skateboarding, Frogger's Adventure: The Rescue, International Superstar Soccer 3 and Worms 3D.

All those games have been canned for GameCube in Australia. They'll still be released on PS2/Xbox/PC though =/

Fairly odd parents? Never heard of it. ;___;

And I now totally despise IGN. Well, I didn't like them much before, but now... *Shakes fist*
I go to my games list, and attempt to add 'SOS - The Final Escape' to it. BUPBOW. It's called 'Disaster Report' in the US. Fine, so I have no choice, IGN doesn't think PAL exists or something, so I add 'Disaster Report'.

I then check out their review, and they gave it a friggin' 6.3.

"OOOOH, THERE'S NO ACTION. TO MUCH WALKING AROUND! THE GRAPHICS ARE TOO GREY. I DON'T THINK BUILDINGS SHOULD BE GREY. STUPID GAME, I'LL GIVE IT 6.3. GO BUY GTA!!!!!11"

The best 5 cartoons ever in my book are Loony Tunes, Dexter's Laboratory, Futurama, Samurai Jack, and Johnny Bravo, in that order. You guys are wasting your time with Nickelodean- after they got rid of Angry Beavers and Rocko's Modern Life, they went down hill. Hey Arnold degraded, they had an inlfux of crappy cartoons, and I stopped watching it.

  in summary, if i ever see you in person nitsu (the doctors tell me i have a 1 in 3000 chance of regaining vision in one eye), i will give YOU some eye candy! THATS RIGHT!

Nintendo Australia actually plan on advertising this year
Quote

Nintendo plans to spend approximately $10 million on advertising in the region this year, 65% of which will include television commercials and the remainder of the budget being spent on magazine ads, movie trailers, and retail displays.

O_o How very... un nintendo.

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes is scheduled to come out in Australia on December 1.

Rocko's Modern Life is hilarious! And the Simpsons is the best cartoon ever.

Heh, IGN sucks, they put the 'G' in 'not so great'.

SCREW AUSTRALIA FOR NOT GETTING WORMS 3D! Oh well, ill get it on PC, or PS2.

Any of you guys heard about the new F-Zero anime? Looks pretty cool.

I saw Sega Soccer Slam in Kmart today for $29, and stared at it for about 10 minutes, then walked away. I'll probably do the same tomorow.

Yay, i just finished downloading the XIII PC demo!

Termin8, enjoy learning how to use it, there might be tutorials around on the net though. And i better get MP back

Jet Force Gemini get! ..... temporarily

The Sheegoths are HUGE!! And they're just BABIES?!?!?!
They are the coolest baddies thus far!!!!
And the boss in the Sunchamber in Chozo Ruins was *drooooooooooooools* awesome!!!!

And Mario, enjoy Jet Force Gemini. I know you will.
And believe me when I say, Retro would make an awesome Jet Force game if Nintendo got the name from Rare.

All this orgasming over Metorid hasn't given me much time at all to install the software.......but I'll get round to it next week or something. Hahaha.

GOD!!!!  Australia has been getting alot of attention lately!  I'm not used to it!  I want games!  I want commercials!  I want a golden goose NOW, Daddy!  But NOOOOOOO  australia get's the golden goose!  poo.

Y'know a scarier game than Eternal Darkness?

METROID PRIME

Yeah, that's right.  Eternal Darkness has scared me once, but Metroid Prime scares so much I don't want to play it anymore.  I just got the Gravity Suit and just entered the crashed space pirate ship thing.  The game is so dark even on full brightness!  I can't stand it! I'm afraid to enter each room in fear of some hideous creature sucking the energy out of me.

So far, Phendrana Drifts is my favorite place, mostly cuza the music.  And cuz it's bright.  And not dark.

Now that that's over with Angry Beavers, Rocko's Modern Life, AAAGGGHHH Real Monsters....all the old cartoons are great.  I saw Pete and Pete yesterday, that was good.   I used to hate that show but now I like it.  i haven't been satisfied with any TV lately except for Nick at Nite.  

Oh yeah, Powerpuff Girls are cool!

How did I manage to break your heart?  

I have made the pages easier to read on my site, but I am still deciding what to use my site for.  I guess I can use it to put up some stories instead of using the forums as my jumping board.

I have added the Chaos to my site, but it has only one entry so far which is really just so people know the link is active.

I have now officially decided to buy The Curse of Monkey Island for PC with what quarters I have left thanks to PIAC and his sigs.  I just need to find it somewhere, seeing as none of the stores have around here have it.  I don't like ordering online.

I figured the PC in my room needed more of a use than Sonic CD and Minesweeper and the occasional solitaire (I have NEVER beaten that game).  It doesn't have internet becuase my parents are paranoid (I believe I've mentioned this before) and I STILL haven't gotten Morrowind yet because my parents don't know how to keep promises AND are paranoid.  I'm not allowed to load games on any computers in the house unless the computer is below the required specs is.  that's pretty much what they're saying to me.

nono dont get curse of monkey island (thats number 3) start from the start! unless you allready have, the first two you can prolly DL from somewhere, try the-underdogs.org or something, OR you could buy the compelation of 1 2 3 and 4, it was only about $20's than buying #4 on its own, which i think is a good price for nutmeg!

you can play ED but you cant play metroid prime... and i thought I was the wuss! well... i guess i still am... go play metroid

Correction, KnowsNothing- the Powerpuff Girls USED to be good. Just like Rug Rats, the show was incredibly good until it started getting popular. The popularity went to the show's head and it began a steady downwards spiral into oblivion. I remember the original 3 Powerpuff Girls What A Cartoons and they were hilarious (whould you expect any less from the art director of Dexter's Lab, the second best cartoon of all time?). The show started off great, too, but i kept getting more and more viewers and the show became worse and worse. Now it isn't even trying to be funny anymore. Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McKracken, and Mike Lazzo (pretty much the guys that made the PPG movie) actually agree it was not real good at all.

Rug Rats started off kind of mediocre, then got great after it gained a cult following. When that cult following extended to every goddamned person in America, the show plumetted. I wish cartoonists were better suited to handle sucess nowadays.

I agree 100% mouse-clicker.

PIAC:  Another case of parent paranoia.  Although waht are the chances of a virus being on the-underdogs?  pretty low, I might try it.  The only thing is if I do get a virus, which I'm sure I won't, than I will be in so much trouble I'll be banned from computers and video games most likely.  And I'll feel really bad.  I'll try it anyway though.  what a bad kid i am.

EDIT:  checked, it's not on the under-dogs.  perhaps you are nice and can find another site to get it off of VIRUS FREE.  Can I burn it straight to a CD without downloading to my computer?  That would be nice.

I was never satisfied with Dexxter's Lab or the Powerpuff Girls.  Johnny Bravo is good though, and Ed, Edd, and Eddy were once, but now I'm bored of them.  My three favorite cartoons of all time are Invader Zim, Angry Beavers, and Rocko's Modern Life.  Those are some great shows.  Nick sucks; they cancelled all of them.  Someone will pay for that with their life.

And on the subject of good cartoons, I saw the new Inspector Gadget on Cheez TV this morning while I was half awake. Doesn't beat the original at all. Brain (the dog) is nowhere to be found, and there were two mini-robot Gadgets following Gadget around instead of Penny and Brain. Boo!

Never won solitaire? You mean like Vegas style? I won 3 times in a row once on Vegas style. My running total on Frecells, out of 685 games, is 282 losses and 403 wins. Frecell, IMO, is much better than regular solitaire because it's based entirely on skill rather than luck- there's only 5 or 6 games that are impossible to win out of hundreds of thousands.

Sega Soccer Slam GET! Its awesome! I didnt like it much at first, and found it really wierd, the controls are weird, but it grew on me, and its awesome! Especially for $29!

Oh yeah, and a few interesting things i found out. Nintendo Australia plan to fully RELAUNCH the gamecube here. Yep, thats right. The 10 million dollars they are using to advertise in the next few months doesnt sound like that much does it? Well, Microsoft and Sony combined didnt spend NEARLY 10 million dollars advertising thier consoles when they LAUNCHED! Just to put this into perspective, Nintendo will be EVERYWHERE. Expect Nintendo ads every day on tv, Nintendo in the cinema, Nintendo in magazines, a much stronger presence of Nintendo in stores, lots of positive coverage from all media etc. This is all happening because early this year, or about 6 months ago, Nintendo Japan representatives came down to Australia to do a survey and see how GC is performing down here, and when they found out how the cube was really doing, they were disgusted. So they had two options, discontinue the cube here, or spend millions relaunching the cube and getting its sales up. Now i know you might be thinking, yeah whatever, they said they were going to advertise Metroid Prime everywhere, but they didnt. But this is 10 million dollars we're talking about here. The massive advertising campaign will start in September. Hopefully Nintendo Australa will hold another event at Darling Harbour for Mario Kart or something. And hopefully Nintendo Australia spend thier money WISELY.

I see good times ahead for the Cube. I cant wait until Animal Crossing, F-Zero GX and Mario Kart and everything else that i cant be bothered typing!

Cowboy Bebop is hands-down the best show of all time.  Haven't seen Kikaider (at least not the old one. . . there are two, aren't there?), but it seems. . . stereotypical, annoying, and completely unlike anything I'd like.  I don't like things because they're the first ones (though they get points for originality).  I base it on how much I like it.  That's why I hate the VH1 top 100 music videos. . . just because some are old, they're still in the top twenty.  Hell, they're still crappy.

I'm referring to the new Kikaider (Cartoon Network aired it recently). I know the anime is just an interpretation of a classic Japanese story, I believe, but I love it's emotional and philosophical issues over whether or not an android who simulates nearly every human emotion can truly BE human. It's animation and character design were also great, in my opinion, as was the translation- too often anime shows suffer from a poor translation. ::cough::Kenshin::cough:: It is also most definitely NOT stereotypical or boring- a lot of people need explosions and gunfights every 5 minutes, but Kikaider's philosophical view points really captivated me. Cartoon Network didn't have too many episodes and I can't find where to buy the thing, which really pisses me off.

Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Hostile Creation on August 22, 2003, 09:27:35 PM
Mouse_clicker, every story involving an android at all is about whether that android could be human.  It gets old.  I only saw a bit of one episode, but the animation looked sloppy (reminded me of Popeye the sailorman), the plot was weak, and all the philosophy there was consisted of Olive Oil (female character) crying about how he had blood or something.  Again, that was one episode, so I could easily be very wrong, but the concepts, ideas, and philosophies in Cowboy Bebop appeal to me much more.  And they're more real; who cares if an android could be human?  They don't exist, you realize.

Yet again, one episode.  Maybe I'll try watching it again to see if I can form a better opinion.

*Gets out the Pokeball*

And German news you say, PEN? I'll stick to Dutch and Japanese news on SBS. Hahaha, it's a disaster, but I don't know what they're saying, so it's funny!

Erm, I got Smugglers Run: Warzone on GameCube today. I didn't even know a Smugglers Run game existed on GC, let alone an exclusive version! As I was doing barrel rolls around the place, I came across a dodgy video game shop that was closing down. Smugglers Run, brand new for $15. Yay! That was the only GC game there, too. I also got Alpine Racer 3 on PS2 for $10, I didn't even know what the f**k it was, but for $10, I'll buy any game.

Turns out it's not half bad, and it never got released in the US. =/

Care Bears. Ugh. That's a part of the 90s I want to forget.
*loads shotgun*

My favourite all-time cartoons are, in no particular order, Inspector Gadget, Transformers, TMNT, Samurai Pizza Cats, and Looney Tunes.

But my favourite cartoon in the present is the Simpsons. A distant second goes to Futurama, and then all the rest.

Wait, wait, Hostile- you're basing your opinion of an entire SERIES based on one part you saw of one episode? Tha't like playing half the first level of a Mario game and saying it sucks. It really pisses me off when people think they can judge something as large as a television series, which takes such an incredible amount of work few people here even realize it, by watching 15 minutes of it. Do yourself a favor and watch the whole thing before forming a conclusion on Kikaider, and if you don't want to watch the whole thing, don't form a conclusion.
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Hostile Creation on August 23, 2003, 10:30:08 AM
I specifically said I should watch more.  Perhaps I was being a bit harsh , but the concept certainly is overused.  I can understand the seeing the rest of the episodes bit, since if I had seen Speak Like a Child before any other Cowboy Bebop episode, I probably wouldn't have bothered watching more (great episode, but certainly not the one you should watch first).  However, any other episode would have me hooked.  Thing with a Mario level is I doubt there's one that wouldn't make me want to play another.  Each episode should be a microcosm for the entire series, and while that's not always the case, it usually is.

I might watch more episodes of it, though I have no particular desire to.  I'm not trying to imply that it's a bad series, just not something I would enjoy watching. . . a show that revolves around a philosophy, to me, is boring.  I watch them to have fun, and I can certainly develop my own philosophies.  To others, maybe like you, it's much better than something without one, say, Invader Zim.  But I'll give it a try, if I get the opportunity.
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: mouse_clicker on August 23, 2003, 11:32:45 AM
Sorry I was harsh myself, I just got really pissed off. Besides, Kikaider, I believe, was a live action show a looooooooong time ago, and I'm pretty sure it started off as an old manga. Sure the android-human thing's been done before, but Kikaider was one of the first to do it, so you can't dismiss it simply because other people have used the same idea, especially since it was the first, or at least one of the first, to put forth that idea. It's like dismissing Lord of the Rings because you read Harry Potter first (although there's innumerable more problems with that than what I've posed ).

So, you haven't finished SMS or Pikmin yet?  How far have you gotten?  I actually got all the blue coins and all but 5 shines on SMS but there are a few that are just a serious pain in the butt and I haven't taken the time to finish getting them.  On Pikmin I have actually finished a few times and my best finish time yet is 14 days.  I just wonder what the best times are for others or if anyone cared to lower their number of days.

Huzzah!  PIAC got Grandia!  If you need any help running it on ePSXe or want me to give you the settings I used, you know how to contact me.

Oh yeah, I watched "Gameheadz" on Discovery Channel on Saturday, which I mentioned in my last post.  I think this has already been shown in the US, right "honourary aussie's"?  The best part was about Nintendo, of course (duh!).  I have to admit this part of the documentary made me cry a bit.  It made me remember my childhood, in which I played Nintendo a lot.  Super Mario Bros. was the first game I loved.  I remember playing Zelda with my friend and we once spent a day trying to complete the game together and even rang Nintendo Hotline for help!  They were of no help.  And how could I forget Mario Kart and it's awesome multiplayer game.

Miyamoto spoke to the camera, but mostly in Japanese, and was translated by someone.  He even played his guitar!  It got me excited! He also showed his first designs and ideas for the game Donkey Kong, which was a piece of paper.  Miyamoto, please put it up for auction on eBay.  I sooooo want it! They even showed the lake he discovered, which inspired him to make Zelda.  And they showed bits of the Japanese Zelda commercial from the 80s! OMFG, I had never seen it before.  Does anyone reading this know a website where I can download it?  I beg of you, please!

Mario's still here.

Oh, and I finished Metroid Prime on Tuesday night! Yeehaaaaw!
I go over to Mario's place on Wednesday, and guess what?
We play Sega Soccer Slam, and whoa! This game rocks! Go Angus! You gotta love those Scots. And when he scores a goal, there's a thumping techno remix of the 'you take the high road and I'll take the low road'! HAhahahahaha.
And you guys already knew it was me when i talked to you on msn on Mario's PC.

But that's not all. I get to keep Metroid Prime for a while longer! Time for Hard Mode! And in return for Jet Force Gemini and Super Monkey Ball 2, I now have a GBA to play Zelda and F-Zero! Thanks Mario! Yipee!
So far, I've gotten two pendants, the Book of Mudora (or something), the dash attack, a bottle, and the ice wand!
One thing about A Link to the Past though, is that having played Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Wind Waker, you kinda take the targeting for granted. And there's so many things in ALttP that are in OoT, MM and WW, like Kakariko Village, Lake Hylia, and bloody hell, how many times has that sand snake boss been done? It's in ALttP, OoT, MM AND WW! Geez! It's kinda frustrating not being able to aim at the right spot. And Link sounds exactly the same as in OoT! Is that something they did for the GBA version or has that been like that? Those birds are annoying. They move too fast.

Oh, and playing the GBA for long periods of time screws up your left thumb BAD. Really. I think i got blisters or soemthing.

Nintendo should make a higher D-Pad for the both their next console and handheld. Or maybe a small joystick!

That snake boss took me almost a DAY of CONSTANT playing to beat when I was a wee monkey playing it on SNES. I swear, I was the crappiest gamer back then.

And yeah, they added the semi-speech for Link in the GBA port. He used to make a girly "HWA!" when he got hit in the original, that was it.

Hopefully I'll be able to log into MSN in a half hour or so. My Internet can't handle the "stress" of downloading something and trying to log in AT THE SAME TIME! GASP! *EXPLOSION*

Link has the same kind of "semi-speech' in Soul Calibur 2, which is very nice.  Other characters talk, but Link just grunts and does it battle cries.  Nice of Namco to keep him in character.

What snake boss are ya'll talking about?  The one where you have to hit the tail as it slithers around the platform trying to knock you off, or the one that dives in and out of the sand?

... Both?
I dunno, I didn't actually have too much trouble with the sand snake, but that first one was a real bitch. THAT was the one that took me like a day to beat. I had to mute the TV after a while. The "waohohohwooo" noise that played when Link fell down the holes was driving me insane.

HELLO!  

I have been gone for three days and now I am back.  Nobody missed me.

I have missed sooooooooo much, so, replying to all the conversation I missed in this thread, I say.

I rule at miniature golf.

I MISSED YOU KNOWSNOTHING!

Mini golf ey? Did you manage to break one of the novelty courses? I'd love to do a Happy Gilmore and smash the crap out of something at a mini golf course.

*Starts attacking own leg with putter*
Awwww.

Happy Gilmore is a classic, probably my fave Adam Sandler movie.

"Son of a bitch ball! Why didn't you just go HOME! ARE YOU TOO GOOD FOR YOUR HOME?! ANSWER ME!!"
"Uh-oh. Happy learned to putt!"
"The price is WRONG, bitch!"

*starts attacking Infernal leg with putter*
You're right.  Mini-golf is fun

Adam Sandler's movies are just plain funny and good.
I love Happy Gilmore the best, then Wedding Singer, then Billy Madison (when Bridgette Wilson was still single, therefore sexier - especially in that 'strip history lesson' ), then Waterboy, then Mr Deeds then Little Nicky.

Oh, and after i was got my first haircut since birth, i dropped by EB in Bankstown Sqaure, and guess what?
They had a copy of Burnout 2!

If you (Mario or Infernal ) want that copy, rush down to Bankstown Sqaure!

I guess it starts getting harder when there are enemies that FIGHT BACK....like the Pirate's facilities on Phendrana Drifts?

YES!  That's the one, with the Japanese dressed as Link, Zelda etc...and it looked really stupid and all...

Well you have the sand worms that dive in and out of the sand, not too sure if they are a proper boss since I haven't played ALttP for some time, and then you have the one that Infernal was having trouble with, he runs around the platform and he'll knock you down to the level below, you have to attack it's tail.

Termin8:  Apparently, Metroid never gets hard.  I don't find it difficult, but I said before, it scares the crap outta me so I have a hard time playing it.  Don't think I'm as wimpy as PIAC, though, I CAN play Eternal Darkness, that game doesn't scare me one bit.

Nintendo has to do away with sand snake bosses in Zelda games and come up with something new.

For those that haven't played Wind Waker yet I will it so as not to ruin anything.

Well, the sand snake boss in Wind Waker was a nice change, but since it was so annoying I hated it in the end.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on August 29, 2003, 07:15:51 AM
I found the snake boss thing at the end quite easy.  I just stood on one of the platforms where he couldn't get me and shot light arrows at his tail.  I have a very good shot, so it only wasted a few arrows to hit him three times.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: nitsu niflheim on August 29, 2003, 09:48:45 AM
Not the one I was referring to, but I thought that one was just annoying.  Not hard, just annoying.  But again, a nice change from the original.

That one I had no trouble beating the first time.  All ten times after that, however, were horrible (I'm talking about puppet snake).  The sand one is cool, and the music is nice, but he is fairly easy.

ED is great, but once I get stuck in a game i tend to leave it alone for a while.  In OoT, I got stuck in the Water Temple, so I waiterd 3 months and beat it first try when I got back.  Same with MM, only it's been, like, a year since I last played that.

I might ignore ED for a few weeks, and play it on nights with no homework.  As of now, Morrowind has taken over my life.

Hey, i just beat that second snake boss. yeah, without reading the posts, i realised you had to hit his tail. Took me ages to find that out.......

ED gets pretty repetetive since it's basically the same game 3 times.
BUt it DID raise the longevity bar didn't it?

on hard mode in Metroid Prime, i just got the Spider Ball! Thardus is still the most tense battle!

Ms. Pikmin:  That's pretty much the whole game, right there.  Thinking you're going to be scared scares you.  
There is nothing to fear but fear itself
Except the more you progress in the game, the darker and scarier it becomes. Have fun! ;D

I never feared much of Eternal Darkness itself, but I'm constantly afraid in games like it that I'm going to get killed by some enemy out of nowhere and lose all my progress because I was stupid and forgot to save. I saved every room in Eternal Darkness, if only to make sure there were no more enemies in it.

MWAHAHAHAHAHOHOHEEEAGGG cough cough...

also, anybody wanna buy my gheym boy player? its going out the door for a low low AU$100 bucks. its in perfect condition. i just never use it. i'll also sell some gba games if you want em, for a low low......well, im not sure... but LOW! advance wars, golden sun 1 & 2, f-zero, yoshis island, zelda: alttp.            LOW!

it sucks man, i kinda want to get rid of my gba altogether (to fund some GC games while im trying to save to go overseas) but i know that if i got rid of it, i'd be screwed for some kind of connectivity in a future game. in that respect, i think the whole connectivity thing is bad. if you buy a game, you should have access to the game in its entirety, rather than being blackmailed into getting a gba, or a gba AND a game. down with connectivity! DOWN!!!!!

CAPS LOCK!

And you could do the hook up thing without a stink pants GBA. Just buy another TV, another GC, hook them up, and BAM. BAM. See, isn't that the better alternative? BAM.

Man, I swear that game drops to like... minus 40 frames a second when there's even the slightest bit of smoke on screen. It's like bullet time, but without the "CHHUUUUUUU" noise. You've gotta have that noise, it lets everybody know time is slowing down!

Don't you just hate when they don't tell you exactly what is wrong.  I always get, either your username or password may be wrong.  That helps me a lot, especially to a site I haven't been to in a while and I forgot my log in.  Then I click the forget your password/username link to have it emailed to me.  And I get nothing, they don't email my info to me.  Why to they tease me?

Termin8, Is that the Fierce Diety Link?  And Mario, I like your new avatar better than that freaky looking Mario one you have before.  I'm suprised joeyjojo hasn't been give one of those "I Like to Break the Rules" avatars the mods like to give out as a Scarlet Letter, of sorts.

Hey KnowsNothing, does your name imply a hidden meaning?  Like you know nothing?

Anyway... it stinks that the soda mchin now charges a whole quarter more, just like when they raised the price of the pay phones by  

dun, dun, DUN...

A quarter.

By the way, anyone who doesn't know who I, The Dark Tower, is you will soon find me to be a very worthy leader to The Kingdom of the Dark Tower.  Oh yeah,

Ahhh, memories.
I remember buying that magazine before school one day, and we had our stupid German class straight up (Because German is a vital language to learn in todays society) and I was bored. Very bored. So I flicked through the magazine, got to Les' Mailbag and made a shocked face.

I then made a demented little "YYYYYYEEEAAAAAHHHHH! FAMOUS!!" and walked out of class.
Back then our house was one street away from school, so I went home and stared at it for a while, and played Killer Instinct for the rest of the day.

TAKE THAT, FULGORE!

Don't you just hate when they don't tell you exactly what is wrong. I always get, either your username or password may be wrong. That helps me a lot, especially to a site I haven't been to in a while and I forgot my log in. Then I click the forget your password/username link to have it emailed to me. And I get nothing, they don't email my info to me. Why to they tease me?


Yeah, I mean, is it really that hard to judge what's wrong? Password or connection? HMMMMMMMMM. =(
And I had that 'site no password thing' happen to me just the other day. I went to visit Hyperactive.com.au and felt the need to flame someone who was putting crap on Sonic Mega Collection for no reason. Go to log in.... Umm... PASSWORD FORGET GET! Ask them to mail it to me. NO DICE!

Bah, screw the site, anyway.

Mmmm.. Drivel. Ack, I really should get off the damn Inter-Web. I've got this big assignment thingy due next Monday, and I kinda.. You know, put it off, over and over. Bleh.

I leave you all with a funky site. Some Japanese dude has been doing metal remixes of video game tunes for ages. I'm having a REAL hard time figuring out what remix is from what game (due to the whole Japanese aspect of the site ) but the first one (Hell Drive) is from Contra.. And um.. I got one on random that's a power metal remix of something off Mario World. If you're into metal, it's quite nifty.

Anyway the movie was very good.  I am assuming you were talking about Princess Mononoke.
I PMed you about it.

By the way SCHOOL STINKS!
If I, The Dark Tower, had his way everybody in The Kingdom of The Dark Tower would be born with all of their knowledge.

Oh yeah, P.N.03 is getting major delays in NSW. The rest of Australia has it. NSW doesn't. Bupbow.
And if Nintendo have chosen to advertise SCII by themselves, they BETTER HURRY UP AND DO SOMETHING. The way Namco's going, they don't want people to think it's actually on GC in Australia. NUP, DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE VERSION THAT'S SELLING THE BEST IN THE US. NO SIR.

"I want my baby back, baby back, baby back, baby back, ribs."

Hyper's 10 Year Anniversary mag is out. Not bad at all. They have this interview with guys like Miyamoto, and those others. Bit interesting.
They reviewed F-Zero GX (release date TBA = GRRRRRRRR) and gave it 90%! Teh sucks. The only negative they gave is that Falcon in 3D sucks, which I can't really comment on, and people with motion sickness will not want to play the game.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*gets sign, starts protesting about shoddy reviews*
And PN03 got 80%. Not bad at all.

Post by: Mario on September 02, 2003, 11:14:00 PM
Ughh, i just had a banana milkshake, with OLD bananas ;___;

Worst milkshake ever.

90% is a pretty good score, thats about the average its getting on gamerankings. Motion sickness? Bah, what like, 1 in 4000 people suffer from that? Nintendo tought me that!

Oh, and ive heard PN03 is available in Sydney NOW. It was a bit late, but its out now. 80% isnt too shabby, but was that review before or after their Nintendo is doomed article?

dark warehouse, how could you talk to me like that? i tried to stand up for you baby, and you act like i never loved you. im appalled. not to mention scarred for life. i know how harsh my fellow aussies can be, especially considering theyre all ex cons.

I ABSOLUTELY DENY HITTING ON SHIFTY. i merely asked if he would accompany me for dinner at Papa Giuseppi's Pizza Palace. nothing more. in all honesty i'll admit i was hoping for a goodnight kiss, but it never happened. geez.

what HAS happened to nintendo inc? is it down? or is my comp just too screwed to view it? come on man! i need that site for all the latest gaming news and media! COME OOOOOON!

And you can HAVE your pants drop. I have my barrel rolling, and it just so happens that my pants more than often 'barrel roll' off my waist. THEY'RE NOT DROPPING, NO SIR.

... A NEW DEMO DISC?! WOW! It's only been, what.... Six months since the last one?
Can't wait to take GX for a test drive and show those punk ass kids browsing the Xbox section a REAL anti-grav racer.

And what show was all this Nintendo pimping on, Shifty? (You should fill your Toblerone box with sewage and sell it to kids! It's melted chocolate, honest!)

Infernal: I don't know. Some kids show on about 4pm and I was flicking when on came DKC.
It was just some guy, maybe not even from Nintendo, pimping some games, talking to a hot chick from the show.

BTW, I saw a SC2 display at my local EB. Preorder get!

werd up dawgz

infernal: i think you might not have seen pn03 anywhere cause it was sold out. i was speaking to this dude at eb, and he told me that these days, "companies" just like to send as many copies as there are pre-orders. my closest eb only got like, 2 or 3 copies on the release.

speaking  of my.....precious. im pretty sure i chucked my receipt in the bin. not that ive EVER had to show it to the dude at the store before. i have a bad feeling that hes gonna ask me this time though.

pn03 has a video demo of viewtiful joe on it. yay.

in regards to the figurine collecting in WW. maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaan, theres too many to collect i tellz ya. id do it if the camera had infinte film storage.      
but it DONT. i guess if you could take millions of photos, it would take up a sh1tload of memory card space.

That's nothing!  I get up at....well....nevermind.

Anywho, I just went to a Japanese resteraunt (sp?) where you sit on lilttle pads at a little table.  It was cool.  I was all like "I want rice"

So I got the Teriaki (sp again?) chicken with lots of rice and lots of soy sauce.  kikoman of course.  It was nice and yummy.

I played PN03 at Walmart and I said to myself "I'm going to go now" and then I went.  I didn't really like it.  I want Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and Final Fantasy origins and chronicles right now.  Real bad.  REAL BAD.

If you like Japanese cuisine (which I love), you need to go to a Teppanyaki establishment, where they cook the food right in front of you. The price runs a bit steep, but you're guaranteed to have some of the best food around.

Hey, I've been to one of those!  They're great!  Is it where the table is like a big hot thing that you can burn yourself on?  Yeah, one time we had an awsome chef that was juggling knifes and making lots of fire and yelling stuff like "Ha!" and "Hey" and "Hwah!" and getting sweaty.  But we heard another guy at the table next to us yell "Ole!"  I was like, isn't that Mexican?

pn03 is good. sorry hostile creation.

ive been playing it a fair bit today and having fun. im not sure if everyone in here would like it though. im enjoying it quite alot for various reasons. its a very straightforward action game. cool style. upgradable powers. its also hard. it kinda reminds me on old school action games on nes because having to getting out of the way of lasers all the time. you know, like, run along, jump/duck, shoot, run again.

I am currently enjoying Disgaea, sure it's a PS2 game, but it's very good and very funny.  I also have been playing around with Soul Calibur 2 and F-Zero GX on the side lines.  Next week Final Fantasy Tactics Advance comes out, but I have three day shipping so I have some time to put in with other games before I get that.


Is Wario Ware really any good?  I really need a nice puzzle game.  Is it worth the price of purchase?  Please tell me.

Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on September 06, 2003, 05:22:43 AM
I played Wario Ware at Walmart and I didn't really see what all the hub-bub was about.  It was very hard (for a first time player, I'm sure I would've gotten used to it), but fun none the less.  It has a great stle, and the full Dr. Mario (now Dr. Wario) game is on it.  Personally, I'd wait till the price dropped, but most people seem to like it more than me, so, whatever.

FFTA comes first, I think.  it's currently my most wanted game.  Even though the Black Hole Army in AW2 is kicking my butt, strategy games are still fun.  I'm just bad at them.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Mario on September 06, 2003, 05:48:28 AM
Oh my god, YES! Wario Ware is addictive as... something really addictive! Its not really a puzzle game though Its about 200 micro games wrapped into one, you can set high scores in every single one of them too, you will find yourself really addicted to one mini game at a time. Read my review for it in the reviews forum . KnowsNothing, very hard? o_O? You usually only have to press ONE button, its easy as eating pie.

Ive heard really good things about Disgaea, i might rent it. Im getting FFTA too, whenever it comes out here. Sometime this month i know, but i have no idea when.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on September 06, 2003, 07:13:15 AM
I know, i know, only one button.... and the directional pads, and mostly TIMING.  Plus, the directions for the minigames are one word each, so you have to figure out what to do AND do it.

Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Hostile Creation on September 06, 2003, 09:59:00 AM
Ha ha.

Nah, I've never played it.  Sounds interesting, though.

I'm getting really mad at F-Zero.  It's fun, but it's as hard as poop.  I just got to story mode match #8, and I can tell you that it was no easy thing to do.  I'm currently tearing my hair out on that one.  I've beat the first cup on novice, standard, and expert, and I'm currently trying to wrap up the second one on expert.  Still. . . it's one fun game.

Edit: I beat story match #8

Because they're stink pants, that's how! They waddle over to Square, and Square are like, woah Nintendo, your pants stink. Nintendo's like "OH YEAH?" and they produce rather sloppy farts in their trousers.

Square are like, "AW NO" because all the poo from Nintendo's pants leak onto their square carpet. Then Enix come along and go "WHAT'S ALL THE HOO-HAH?" and Nintendo start producing more fumes and chunks. Square + Enix go "HOLY CRAP OUR NEW COMBO NAME IS BLAND, AND LORD, GET THIS NINTENDO GUY OUTTA HERE! GO! TAKE A FEW COPIES OF FFTA!"

They throw the GBA games at Nintendo and Nintendo are like "UUUUMMMMMM" and fall over. Then Control Freaks rings Nintendo up and go "WE'RE WHORES. WANNA PAY US MONEY SO WE CAN SHOW YOUR GAMES?"

And Nintendo are like "UUUUUUUUUUUUMMMM" and fall over. Control Freaks steals their copies of FFTA and semi advertise it on their show. Then Microsoft barrel roll into their office and throw buckets of money at their groin and barrel roll off.

And that's how spaghetti is born.

best graphics on gba.

im really glad that i didnt sell or defile my gameboy player now that i have this game. next time some of my unenlightend mates come over it will knock their proverbial socks off.

Hey fellas, while Paragon Publishing has all but abandoned their CUBE Australia mag, leaving Australia with absolutely NO Nintendo mags, i read their Games mag, and guess what?

There's a feature in it about Nintendo Australia. I didn't have time to read it (I will tomorrow), and it's not on their website (totalgames.net), so go and read it now! But there was ONE thing I was totally surprised about when i skimmed thru it:

They actually have a team that does stuff at Nintendo Australia! Can you believe that?
I mean, theres a marketing guy, a PR chick, some Japanese guy, that David fella, and like two other people I forget the names of! They actually do stuff to make people know about the Gamecube and GBA!
WOW!

I only like hard games where the difficulty is user friendly.  I don't want to play a game where it's hard because you have to play perfect because the game play is cheap.  Miss one jump and your dead.

Disgaea is kind of hard unless you level the-hell-like-crazy up.  But it's fun because you can still beat the enemies if you are completely under leveled too, if you play strategically [sp?].

its funny you should mention IKARUGA mario. i was just thinking tonight how much a perfectionist like you would LOVE it. of course, i OWN the game (bought it on ebay). and let me just say, (even though i probably said it before) its awesome. its very hard. its very stylish. its also really cool to play with 2 people, "i got your back maaaaan"  *teary eyed*

if we had another nin night (or day!) , i would love you to play it. (i could flex my skills too)

NEWS FLASH joes love for pn03 is dwindling!
well, its still pretty cool. it just seems like it was a bit rushed in some respects. i mean, if your gonna make me save 300,000 points to buy a new suit, the gameplay could at least be a bit more varied. do i get head with that $100 price tag???

What kind of assignment are you currently involved in doing, Infernal?


A very annoying one that's kept me away from the net for like a week. I went "YEAH, I'M GUNNA GET THIS DONE! NO FARTING AROUND, NO NET UNTIL I DO!"

Then I looked at the assignment sheet for a few hours, scratching my head until it was RAW AND BLOODY. And I end up on the net anyway. BUT NOT FOR VERY LONG, BECAUSE I GO NONONONONO!!

It's like, networking and stuff. We've gotta set up this 15 story office block as one big happy network. Not only that, but get their PC's up and running. ALL USING MIND BULLETS! We have to research exactly how much software licensing is, how much it would cost to get people to install the cabling, what specs the server would be, how they could upgrade in the future, which network cable would be best, which network card, figure out employee training, figure out some way for 40 idiots with these fancy Telxon portable PC's to connect to the network, how to seperate the network into many smaller ones AND keep it under $50,000.


WOWOWOWOWWOWOWOW! What a long sentence that was.

Hey Blue Baron, where ARE you up to in Wind Waker and Metorid Prime?
Because even though they get frustrating, I still manage to pull through.
And if beating those games are such a difficulty for you, why don't you get a guide, or ask around on the forums?
I mean geez, EVERYONE would have finished OoT by NOW...........

Thanks Joey.

I think a site update should be made that only so many characters can be in a line so I don't have to scroll the page over to read every thing.

I have finished every Zelda game except for Zelda 2: Adventures of Link.  If I had that Zelda bonus disk making the rumor mill I might get a change to play it again without having to fear my system getting dumb and turning on and off like my NES will somtimes do.

Holy crap, what the HELL is wrong with PGC's servers NOW? Ten minutes of refreshing is not fun.

KnowsNothing, it is indeed Green Hills Zone, but from Sonic 2 on the Master System.
One of the more obscure Sonic games out there.. I mean, the boss in that zone was a big fat guy who tried to roll you over! Silly pants Sonic Team.

I never finished Zelda 2 on NES either, Nitsu.. But that's because I hated the game. Never liked the platforming dungeons and castles, and Link's trippy death sequence scared the hell out of me.

Well, yes, actually, starting from.......now!

I nearly died when I saw that news about the Mega Man collection. Made my day, it did. And quite amusing that it's not coming to Xbox.

Nice to see PGC has evolved back into from its train wreck yesterday. Now it seems to be back to its normal 'Slower than anything else on the Internet, but working'

I swear, they need a thing on the front page "Forums, NOT FOR 56K". It's slowly becoming that way for me. *ANGST, BITCH, WHINGE*

Yeah, I went over there out of curiosity and because PGC was having problems.  It was sad to finally get on the boards here only to see almost no new posts since no one could get on.  Then what I was reading is that people wanted to leave if the problems didn't get resolved.  It was sad.     Anyway, hopefully everyone toughs it out since we know there are efforts being made to fix the situation.

As for Game Informer, I'd go and check it out, but I have barely enought time to post on PGC, let alone the MSN craziness. Maybe after those.

And I saw Pirates of the Caribbean. My verdict:
Great flick. Johnny Depp steals the show. Go and see it.

Yeah, Depp was great.
Here's my favourite quote:
Quote

Jack : Why is the rum gone?

Elizabeth : One, because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two, that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire Royal Navy is out looking for me, do you really think that there is even the slightest chance that they won’t see it?

Jack : But why is the rum gone?


And this one:
Quote

Jack :  (to Will) You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before?


And one last one:
Quote

Jack : Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest... Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly… stupid. (unsheathes a pirate’s sword and starts fighting)

Four hours later, I went out and got myself the latest gaming technology, the Atari 7800. It has Crossbow on it, and I laughed at a Nintendo logo and then humped a Capcom logo. Then I ate a telephone, and typed words at Planet GameCube. End the!

There once was a thread called the Aussie thread, back in it's birth it had a handful of people posting in it. All complaining about the Zelda bonus disc! They were like "AW MAN, WHERE BE MY ZELDA BONUS DIC?" and others were like "WOAH DUDE, YOU LEFT OUT THE S IN DISC!" and the other dude was like "DISC?".

Then some more people came along, and all talked about vagina's and drugs. It was all fun and games until 400 people lost their eyes. Not in this thread, but all over the world. Mostly firemen who were getting cats out of trees.

"HELLO KITTY KITTY"
*Kitty uses scratch attack*

*Fireman has 'fainted'*

Then like, this egg came along, and it was like, "YEAH" and I was going "AW YEAH? BURGERS?" then I didn't use full stops very much, so sentences were long and scary, often people would die from the inability to breath because my sentences were so long, I tried using it as a pick up, but no luck.

Then I'd totally go off track of my original point to the thread and eat bacon. Bacon has fat on it, I dislike it, so I give it to my dog. Dad often calls me a pansy for having such a cry over fat in meat, but I cannot help the fact I dont like chewing on grissle and fatty fat clear stuff that just doesn't go down.

Not down in a sexual way, either. That would require passports and little clay figures. Like Gumby and friends, although he wasn't really clay. Remember the block heads?

So yeah, I went DONT GO THERE GIRLFRIEND, while eating a mailbox. It had letters in there, one contained a million dollars, and I spent it all on rock candy. Real rocks, no candy. They became my friends and stuff. Then I ate them. They took their revenge a few hours later. Eek.

Work?  I'd love to work...I want money...real bad.

I have a plan.  I'm not allowed to get another video game anytime soon becuse my parents think I spend way too much time playing them (they would faint if they ever met any of you guys).  They also think I spend way too much time on this forum (which I do).  So, if I promise to not use the forum for a certain amount of time, I might be able to get f-zero gx.  I haven't brought this up to my mom yet though...but it just might work.

Man, you have some strict parents, KnowsNothing. My parents don't really care how much I play games, just as long as I'm donig well in school, etc (which I am- 4.0 gpa so far). They don't care which games I play either, since they know that games aren't what affect children. And since I buy my games with my own money, they don't care how much I spend on them either (although they may advise me to cut back when I'm spending a lot ).

When I go home every 2 weeks or so my dad is always complaining I play too many games(which isn't true; 3 hours a day isn't that bad).  But I need to relieve my fix since I don't take my consoles with me  Thankfully I have my GBA SP at my disposal and this weekend I plan to pick up Grunty's Revenge

Are you guys confused?
SO am i.

Here's the situation.
Last night, all of us vowed to get the thread up to 2300 posts.
After Infernal, Piac, Joey, Shifty and Rabicle (phew!) left, it was just me and Mario.
We stayed up till around 12:30am just posting our arses off, cause Mario was only one meg away from his limit and a 28kb/s internet speed for the rest of the month.
Wahahahahaha!!!
He got the coveted 2300th post spot due to the forums' STUPID 1 post per minute rule (imagine the chaos if there was no such rule!!), and well, being so bloody tired, I guess he typed 3000.
I didn't even notice, i was so bloody tired too, and also cause i was blind with rage he got the spot
So i wrote the finale to the evening!
And there you have it gentlemen!!!!!!!

when it comes to computers, my parents are paranoid.  with videogames, they're semi-strict.  with other stuff, not really.

my grades are good, too.  i'm not in high school yet, so I'm just guessing my GPA would be a 3.6 or something, not sure.

but if you want strict, you should see the family next door.  when one of the kids was 7 (?) he still wasn't allowed to watch rugrats becuase it had the term "stupid" or "dumb babies".  hehe.

Plus the threads, swearing and flaming is unbearable.

Agreed.  joeyjothejojoeyjo had been WAY too crazy, even for an Aussie.

I just had my first encounter with a brainwashed moron, today (read "Nintendo basher").  Two of them, actually, only one annoyed me more becuse he was a Microsaoft fanboy, and the other one actually agreed that buying an X-box just for Halo was retarded.  Anyway,  he was like "The new Zelda sucks, he looks like a little kid."  Well, I was lead to believe Link WAS a little kid, but i've been wrong before.  "The games suck"  fine, you go play GTA and the almighty twisted metal black you think is soooooo great, and I'll go play Mario, Zelda, ED, Metroid, Mario Golf, Pikmin, (you get the point).  of course, the thing that got me was the "nintendo's for kiddies" argument.  By then I admitted that I was a Nintendo fanboy and he was a moron.  And left becuse it was time ofr science.

Fin.

riddles are fun, here is a good one:

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50.  "The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.  In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

Anyone know the answer?

Is it something stupid like: "He wrote 'your exact weight' on the piece of paper?"  I hope not.  Anyhoo, I dunno and my brain hurts from Joey so I will sleep.

I will go to the Ninty Basher thread and complain there.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on September 15, 2003, 02:22:20 PM
Hey Joey, how long did it take you to write that? Hey, what am i saying, you're drunk, so not long at all

But dude, it hurts the eyes.

Oh, and Blue Baron, I have the answer to the riddle:

The man looks at the grass the boy is standing on, and using his supercomputer brain, calculates the height of the grass he was standing on to the grass that the boy wasn't standing on. But since grass actually weighs down with pretty much anything that stands on it, the man had to dig to the centre of the earth to find out how far down the dirt the grass was in that the boy was standing on went, so after doing that, he told the boy's exact weight, wherein the boy had to pay $50.

But of course, being a carny, this only took little more than half a second.

Oh my god, new comic.  The only thing that would make the wavebird better was if it came back to you.  As always, damn good.

Forums are running better this morning, must be the only one on.  Last night tool me 15 to 20 minutes just to get one page opened, after that I just gave up and wandered around the net for a few more minutes before getting off the net and playing Megaman 8, and beat it.  I ordred Megaman X4, X5 and X6 yesterday.  I want that Megaman Collection now, I need to sustain my Megaman addiction.  I don't want to have togo through withdrawal.

My last post was at 4:15 pm. Which means that at 1 pm my time (it doesn't really matter what your clock is set to), you posted a message. If you live in the continental US, and assuming your school goes from roughly 8 am to 3 pm, you'd be in school no matter where you lived. The earliest you could've posted by my time would be 11 am and the latest would be 2 pm.

Whatever....

I know it's becuse of my settings that I see you posting at 11:15 am, but I don't know why you see me posting at 1 pm.  School starts at somewhere round 8 am, and ends somewhere round 2 pm.  I don't have time to post in the morning.

I live in Rhode Island and it's about 5:33 here.

2 pm? Jeese, you guys get out early.

Anyway, then it would make sense if you live in Rhode Island and get out of school at 2 pm (which I didn't consider since us normal people don't get out till 3 ) because you would have posted at 2:28 pm your time, which is after your school lets out.

When does your school year end (I already know you started later than I did)? Ther schools in Wichita, which my town is a suburb of, get out at 2 pm because they don't have air conditioning or heaters, and in Kansas it gets REALLY cold in the winter and REALLY hot in the summer. Their school year is substantially longer, though, to make up for the lost time.

Post by: KnowsNothing on September 16, 2003, 12:44:30 PM
We get out around June 18-20.  I don't know, we seem to change it a day or so every year.  This year, we began school on September 2nd, as opposed to the 4th which is usual (and also my brother's birthday).  Of course, there are things like snow days, but those don't come around often.

I remember a few years ago, there was a day off from school becuase a hurricane was about to hit.  There was no huricane yet, but they didn't want us in school if it did.  As it turned out, the hurricane missed us entrley and we got a nice sunny day to play outside in all day long.

Ah well, there you go- I started school on the 16th of August but get out the 22nd of May, almost a full month before you. They only plan one or two snowdays in our school year but we usually have to cancel school 3 or 4 times a year due to snow.

He was referring to the animation, methinks.

My school gets out at 2:40, but I get out at about 1:45 cuz I only have 6 classes.  We get in on about August 18, and get out about May 28.  And we don't have snowdays. . . we have hurricane days instead (Louisiana)

Speaking of schools.... Me thinks all the high school teachers go on strike today because they're greedy sh*ts and are demanding a 25% pay rise. Like they did last year, and the year before. Pah, they should give me a teaching job. I'd be happy with 25 cents.

"Sir, you're meant to be teaching us how to program in Visual Basics!"
'Shutup, kid! Help me take these computers to my car!'
"Isn't that stealing?"
'Stealing? No, it's TAKING. Don't they teach you anything here?'
"I dunno, you're our teacher!"
'GET YOUR ARSE TO THE FRONT OFFICE!'

See? I'd make a WONDERFUL teacher!

"Who could've done this?!"
"Not me, if that's what you're thinking....."

You'd make a great teacher!

Speaking of Infernal's comics, his reason for wanting a wavebird is the same reason I warned somebody about the other day. ha!

But i think I'll play F-Zero with a regular controller if it's as hard as people make it out to be.  I payed good money for that thing!

The infernal journal is funny, but he doesn't update very often.  I suppose he has a life too.

See but with a Wavebird, the enemy can pick up the controller and wreak havoc on YOUR face. With a wired contoller, you can throw it and quickly pull it back for a double–whammy! Granted its range isn't nearly as great as the Wavebird, but regardless, I am still laughing because the comic. Keep 'em comin'!

Hostile: Half my family is from Louisiana. The other half is from Georgia. I'm guessing you're a senior, since you get out earlier than normal. I'll probably end up only having a couple classes my second semester my senior year, too, which will be nice, especially if I have a job.

Most of my Dad's side of the family is split between Louisiana and Ohio.  Aside from her parents (Florida) and brother (Louisiana), pretty much all of my mother's relatives live in St. Louis.  I like it here, though. . . it's, um. . . wet.  And stuff.

Well, Kansas is a living hell- when the weather's nice, it's really nice, but when it's bad, it's really bad. Besides that, there's nothing to DO here. The nearest big cities are Oklahoma City and Kansas City, both of which are marginally more entertaining than Kansas. I used to live in California and Okinawa, Japan, but my dad had to decide to move to Kansas.

I visit Louisiana quite a bit- my father's family all live there except for his sister, who moved to Seattle. My mother's parents used to live in New Orleans (great city), but for some reason they moved to Atlanta, where my mother's family all live (well, there and Mississippi/Louisiana). My whole family lives in the south.

why does school end in the MIDDLE of the year, in June, July, whatever, and not at the END of the year like us, in November/December??
Would that be more logical???

(knows nothing flame post)

wellety wellety wellety. let me start by using the most obvious and cheap insult. knows nothing, you truly know nothing. or at best, very little.

in this scary modern world, i find it very comforting to be able to take refuge in the PGC aussie thread, or as i call it, "the sanctuary". it is the brightest beacon for nerd freedom in the known universe after all. your seething "hate posts" have changed all that.

i thought i could bask in the sweet light of my fellow aussie thread  users company for an eternity. but now they call me "joeyjobless" after the way you mocked me so terribly.

in passing, i'll thank you to NOT vilify retards. are you saying that if i were a person with some form of mental retardation, i would be less of a man? shame on you!
SHAME     ON       YOU!

in summary: shut your mouth. ive been here too long, and have too much to lose for you to ruin it all for me now. dont you know who i am??? THE joeyjojo!!!!!! sheesh. my pals here love me. LOVE ME! it would hurt them to here you say anything bad about me again.

im politely asking you to leave this thread. and never come back. dont make me ask twice or this could all end in tears. really.

oh yeah. heres a site you might be interested in. click here you awful manboy

as a token gesture of the true nature of joeyjojo, i am formally ending my beef with the blue barron. i now find him witty and informative.

SCII, F-Zero, VJ, and AC all rock.  You Aussies will NOT be disappointed

Yeah that Pink Bomber can be a real pain*  

1)     First, make a Big Bomb.
2)     Throw it at the shield, but keep a distance away.
3)     Once the shield is gone, throw another Big Bomb at her. Then, you will do some damage.
4)     After being hit a few times, she will send out 2 drones with lasers.
5)     Avoid them(obviously ), and attack her with a Big Bomb.
6)     Once you do some more damage, she will have a Tri-Shield. The 3 shields
will spread apart, circling around her.
7)     Throw a Big Bomb in front of her(don't touch the lasers!), and she will lose more health.
8)     One more Big Bomb and she should be finished!

Cool! Thanks for the tips, Bill! BADLY DUBBED BEAUTY BOMER GO SQUISH NOW! ^_^
And I dunno about the rest of you, but today is the fastest PGC's board has ever been in several months, for me. Also *INFERNAL SHOPPIN*.. uh.. BROWSING TIP #1*

Right clicking threads and opening them up in a new windows always seems to speed things up for me. Wish you could do the same when it comes to replying....

OMG! SC2 demo at work! *dies*

But I couldn't play it last night, probably because of the whole 'work' thing. Bleh.
Anyway, I'm FINALLY gonna pre-order SC2, Joe and F-Zero GX tonight, then go and give the Cube a play.

Can't wait

PIAC: That's not as bad as some of the idiots I have to deal with!
"Where are your batteries?"
*I point to wall of batteries behind me* "There."

Nitsu: Ah, teeth getting pulled sucks eh?
I got bagged by the nurses when I had my wisdom teeth out. Apparently the anaesthetic makes you act drunk, and I was doing well (I think it was implied that I am a drunk, but I can't remember much).

Infernal: Bupbow for EB. They were advertising Halo on PC last week, and I nearly gave one of the poor kids in there a piece of my mind, but I didn't, because I know the manager, and he'd probably throw me out or something. Oh well.

Bill: Two Infernals? Aurgh!! *hides under rock*

*proceeds to bash GC with golf stick*

So yeah, I didn't get to play SC2 or see any of the demos.
And I didn't even pre-order. STUPID EB WON'T STAY OPEN FOR STUPID FIVE MINUTES LATE STUPID SO I CAN GET MY STUPID PRE-ORDER STUPID.

So I'm not happy at all.

OH YEAH, and that level pissed me off so much that i nearly broke my wavebird , well actually i did kind of break it for like an hour, but now it works , i spun it around in the air really fast which broke it. But now it works for some reason, yay!

This internet is driving me insane too, ive sharing a freaking 28.8k connection with three computers -___-

And I STILL haven't been to the shops yet :\
But i finished my two assignments due yesterday! I'm free! FREE! What a relief.

I also JUST beat the Omega Pirate in Metroid Prime on Hard mode. Bloody hell what abattle THAT was! I only had 23 health left too!!! I only needed to hit him once more, and I was only up to trying to hit his limbs. Luckily, I missed all his attacks, and he cloaked. I only needed ONE hit from those beam pirates to die, but NONE of them hit me! And i got a hit into the pirate, and down he goes!
PHEW!
Phazon Suit get!
And bloody hell, lucky thing I didn't die from the Metroids, or else I would have had to do that all over again, which woul dhave been REAL exciting wouldn't it?

And now, I have all the energy tanks, and now I'm in the process of getting all the missile expansions! 100% here I come!

Well, the forums seem to be okay now....let's not make them mad.

METROID UPDATE:  wait, there is no update.  I tried to play the other night.  I'm in the Phazon Mines.  I was in a tall room with 2 Beam Pirates above me, and what sounded like 2 more above them.  I couldn't go up becuse they would corner me and prevent me from escaping, causing me to mash the A button and hope to kill them.  But alas.......I shut the game off before I could see what happened becuse I was too freaked out.  I think I'll go play a nice game like ED to calm me down.  all I need is RE0 and I'll be brave enough to conquer MP.

ED UPDATE:  Wait, there is no update.  I can't find my way in the Cathedral when I'm the reporter that looks exactly like the dude from the Mummy....Brendan Frasier???  I quit.

And that is this afternoon's news.  Join us next time as we make no progress in either of those games, and are forced to play outside.  Happy Pie!!

Actually, the forums have been pretty good over here on my side of the monitor. Not like their usual frozen poo up slide. And I'm here on stink pants 56k while downloading 4 files and with 3 IE windows all loading crap. Hurray!

*Entire suburb explodes*

What are you all looking in my direction for?!

Erm, I was planning on going to Kmart today to hog the demo disc (apparently its going over there), but I'm too lazy. I'd just somehow end up blowing all my money on useless junk.... A RED PEN! *Buys the lot*

Did Isabel hit your area really hard, Nitsu? I saw that on the news last night, and I made a shocked face. Broken crap everywhere. Then they proclaimed it wasn't as bad as what they thought it would be... Geez, looked pretty damn bad to me! O_o

Haha, KnowsNothing, that's not what it means at all.  Just pretend that all the time you have is potential for you to make money.  Say 10 dollars an hour.  If you save time doing something(such as going on the net) you potentially have more time to make money.  In this case, if you saved 2 hours of time a day by getting broadband, you would have the potential of making 20 more dollars, which is obviously worth the investment of a broadband isp

I wanted Isabel to hit RI hard, but all we got was some rain....

We didn't get hit that hard, elec was out for a while, none of our thousands of trees hit the house or the cars, thankfully.  No flooding either, but it would take an ocean of water to flood us because the house is atop a hill.  Adn we didn't get the winds that hit other areas, but we had some strong winds.  All the cars, and the driveway were completely covered with leaves, like driving on a road through the woods, err, wait it's like that even with out the leaves covering i. haha.

Back in '94 when we had an ice storm we lost elec for over a week, and missed school a lot.

I won't do a rain dance, we've had enough rain this year, if I could send it to you Infernal, I would.  *throws rope into sky, catches rain cloud and stuffs into into envelope and mails into Infernal Monkey, Australia.  Fragile, contains rain.*

I has to do with the codecs I think. I think this will help with your problem:
- Goto this site http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53761
- Then scroll down to ffdshow-alpha and click on ffdshow-20030523.exe to download it

BTW is your Scrapped Princess file from Keep_Anbu? If it is then ffdshow should resolve your problem.

About half a million teens listen to the "Hot 30" as well, so this is good! VERY GOOD! Well done Nintendo Australia, this is a good start. And you know what else is happening on Friday? SOUL CALIBUR 2!

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Mario: Why are you listening to that garbage? Don't you know it rots your brain.

And Nintendo advertising? Good start? GOOD START!?!?! GOOD F***ING START?!?!?! *explodes*

Friday doesn't matter. I'm gonna get myself SC2 and lock myself away until the Grand Final! Woo!

PIAC: Urge to get FF:TA rising.
I saw one of the ads on TV just now. Another great confusing ad. You can tell Nintendo was behind that one too. And now I want to play it. I can't explain how I came to that conclusion. I do some really stupid things sometimes, like singing karaoke to Bohemian Rhapsody while drunk, so I guess that explains it. But that's a story for another day.

yay! advertising! i was watching channel V (foxtel music channel) and room 208 was on (live dance parties that are hosted around the country in which the best dancers of the night are awarded prizes for their dance skills) and the prize was a CUBE with SOUL CALIBUR 2! hooRAY!

WOAH!

I just saw a MARIO ad too! On channel ten. It had Mario running around a plane and into screens and stuff and it looked so awesome! It was an ad for singapore airlines or something and how they have great entertainment. And i hear there's a FFTA ad? Woah this is awesome! Now all we need is some GAMECUBE ads...

I've seen the FFTA commercial.  When it started, I was like, "This is weird enough to be a GBA commercial," and it turns out it was.  Go figure

I love the dancing monkey, don't change it.  Hear me PIAC, don't change it.  Well you can if you really want, but I have mastered my soldier skills, and all but one ninja skill.

I haven't seen a FFTA commercial, but then again it's hard to see a commercial when you are playing the game in question.  Go figure.

These forums are like a zombie or something, dead but not quite.  Took me over a half hour just to get the aussie thread open.  If this keeps up I will have to stop coming here for a while, I just don't have the time to wait that long to open ONE page, and then another half hour to get back to the springboard or whatever you want to call it, the place wher eyou select the topic you want to read.  As if it forgot that it just spent an hour loading it, and wants to do it all again.  Okay, end of that rant.

I had three days off last week from work.  One because I went to the doctor, and the other two because of Isabel.  Yay, I got 16.5 hours last week, I could have used vacation time, but I really ain't hurting for money at the moment.  hehe.  At least I still have lasts week paycheck I still have to deposit, so I still have that money.  

PIAC, did you get my PM over at GFF?  I'm there too if you didn't know.  

FSFS probably means nothing, and if it does PIAC probably won't tell.  He's a secretive ninja with high level ninja skills, like Double Sword and Oblivion.

HERE COMES INFERNAL! *Opens PGC door holding a melted ice cream*
Aw, I missed the party. It seems you can miss alot in two days of non-active posting-activity-I'm-just-making-stuff-up-now.

Saw that FF:TA advance advert last night. NOW LET US NEVER EVER SPEAK OF IT AGAIN. Holy crap, it was almost as bad as when Nintendo Australia made their own Game & Watch Gallery 4 advert... *Shudders*

ANNNNND, got to play teh new demo disk yesterday, in BIG W! WHY IS THAT SHOCKING? BECAUSE THE BIG W HERE STOPPED SUPPORTING GAMECUBE LAST NOVEMBER! NOW THEY'RE PIMPING IT ALL OVER THE SOUND AND VISUAL DEPARTMENT! THREE GAMECUBE KIOSKS! A SHELVE FULL OF NOTHING BUT STAR FOX ADVENTURES AND RESIDENT EVIL (-_-) AND POSTERS! PPOOOOOOSSSSTERS!

VJ kicks so much ass. I got confused on the Cowboy boss thingy.
THEN I SELECTED F-ZERO AND BOGGED MY PANTS. Holy crap it's fun. The demo disk only runs in 50Htz, too (I resetted and held down b, no 6Htz option), so the demo isn't nearly as fast as what will be thrown at us in October!

I got your letter the other day, Nitsu, but for some odd reason, it flooded my letter box. Then I ran around town screaming "IM ALL WET!".

True story. Awesome avatar, PIAC!

Mario: Nah, that's not a real Mario ad. It's for Singapore Airline's entertainment system, which has Super Mario Brothers and stuff.

BUPBOW FOR ABSOLUTELY IRRELEVANT ADS!

As for PIAC's avatar, let me say one thing:
*WEIRDED OUT*

And PGC isn't that bad is it? *shrugs*
You could be at Nintendojo forums!
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on September 22, 2003, 07:31:43 PM
Hey mario! Didn't I tell you guys about that Singapore Airlines ad a while back?

NOW you believe me............
And SHifty, I know it's not for NIntendo, but the fact that the ad is all about Mario, and Nintendo's partnership with the airline, does it really matter? It's Nintendo on TV (and the cinema, which is where i saw it)!!!!

And even though the Hot 30 Countdown is crap in terms of all that teeny 'WOW COOL! THIS IS HOT! YOU HAVE TO GET INTO THIS OR YOU ARE NOT HIP! HAVE YOU BEEN IN A LESBIAN RELATIONSHIP? RING US NOW AND YOU COULD WIN A TRIP TO THE COOLEST PLACE ON EARTH, HICKSVILLE USA! WE DARE YOU TO RING UP YOU FRIEND AND ASK IF THEY WANT A THREESOME AND YOU COULD WIN SOME TICKETS TO KYLE'S HOUSE!!!!!!'
at least they are promoting Gamecube and not Xbox or PS2, which they have done millions of times.
It IS a smart movie by advertising with this crowd, cause this is the toughest crowd to market to, and Sony and MS are just relying on the fact that they are perceived as 'cool'.
It could be good, so I'll be listening in.

Ikaruga arived in the mail today, im kinda disapointed there is no dodgy engrish pronouncments of things though, in Gigawing 2 for Dreamcast (awsome game, kinda short, 4 player) in the menu the characters (i guess, all the text other than the menu's was in japanese) were said by japanese people, so it came out all hilarious like SEWPAH ATTK MOD! (super attack mode) GAHLARRY MOD! (gallery mode) and probably the best WANKING (ranking) oh fun times were had by all, but err yeah, Ikaruga is an awsome game, Mr Shabadu also has it i belive, i played it for five minutes just before and its all hard and cool everyone go and.... buy it off ebay -____- *kicks australia* now i have TWO rare games! (skies and ikaruga) weeeeeee.

Termin8: Bleh, I don't like that ad at all. I've heard of promotion, but that's just plain whoring of Mario. If they wanted some decent promotion, get some real games in those planes, like Super Mario 64 or something, and put huge Nintendo stickers on the plane. Now THAT'S PROMOTION!

Woo! Three more sleeps to SC2! Woo!

And to pull the thread away from PIAC's monkey (it's cool, damn cool actually), I've had the Butterfly Effect's album, Begins Here, on repeat for the past three days. Awesome stuff. Anyone else heard this one?

Not bad, if I may say so myself.  I have only completed the level 1-1 to level 1-4.  I can move onto level 2, but I want to get 1-5 first.  I like this game better than Mario Sunshine, but that's just me.  1-5 toom me a while to figur eout (ran out of lives after spending forver trying to figure it out) you get to actually ride on top of the eggs, like it were a ball.  Fun indeed.  Not too hard, not really too easy.  So far I guess it's justy about even.

It's also nice at the beginning to see Billy without the chicken suit, and his human friends too (thought he was only one?)

Bill, any chance you want to share the Hubris track?    That's my favorite in the game.

And guys....  Taki OWNS link.  Taki is by FAR the BEST video game character EVER created.  If the all CAPS in my post didn't convince you, try playing the game tomorrow.    I played two whole rounds with Link, then I switched to Taki.  I beat all of Weapons Master with Taki, and I intend to beat it a second time before I even THINK of beating it again.  I love Taki more than life itself.  (which isn't saying much I guess....  I love Taki almost as much as Kristin!)

EDIT:  BILL!!!!!  YOU DA MAN!!!  Thank you so much for the track.  I really do appreciate it.  I will put that in better words tomorrow (or the next time am sober.  I am going to buy more vodka right now I think)

And HOLY CRAP GAMECUBE IS TEH EVERYWHERE! I think Nintendo bought Fox 8 , every show is brought to me by Nintendo Gamecube, thanks for the shows Nintendo!

Oooooh yeah. I was reading an old issue of Hyper today (early 200), and they interview Lorne Lanning (Guy behind the Oddworld games on PSone/PC/Xbox)
One of the questions they ask is what does he think about the upcoming Nintendo 'Dolphin', and I found it rather funny in an odd way.

Quote

Nintendo have finally proven they want to remain a toy company with their upcoming 'gaming' machine. They're refusing to get with the times and become a TRUE multi-media company. The Dolphin is not on our radar screens.

*backs away ever so slowly*

SC2 is annoying me, i suck at it. It's just one big button mashing fest. So i popped in Resident Evil today, man that game is AWESOME. Even awesomer when i have the unlimited ammo grenade laucher unlocked. What a great game. I just downloaded a RE4 trailer, woah thats gonna be amazing, now theres some best game ever potential if ive ever seen it.

Sony has bought I-Ninja exclusivity in Europe. Still coming for Cube and Xbox in US.(Not sure about Australia)

Story is in Computer and video games

It was reported in last wednesday, so you have to lokk for it(because this stupid site don't let me link directly) from old news. Too bad, guess it's import time for me. -`____´-

Wtf?!?!
How can a company buy exclusivity for a game in just one country?
I mean, if they bought it exclusive for Europe, which is basically the whole PAL region, then of course, the game has now been cancelled for Australia and New Zealand.
But this is Namco. They'll find a way around it. Hopefully. They are bum chums with Nintendo.

It's not that simple Termin, Namco is not exactly making the game, but Argonaut, Namco is the publisher(and maybe financer in japan) But namco rarely publish games outside Japan, not even Soul calibur 2 was published by them. So Argonaut had to find someone else, and TADAA! Sony hits its claws to I-Ninja!

First PoP and Beyond Good and Evil, now I-Ninja. Sony is hogging everything in EU!

O_O'  Soul Calibur II is NOT a button-masher.  You just need to practice putting all your moves into combos.  Try going into practice mode and checking out your move list.

As for I-Ninja having PAL exclusivity, you can always import

Soul Calibur 2 was published by Namco, so was Xenosaga, at least they were in America.

Like the new Natalie Termin8, classic beauty she is.

Argonaut my be the developer of I-Ninja but are they developing it for Namco, if they are then it's a different stroy.  Like uhh Level 5 developing Dragon Quest 8 for Square-Enix.  Besides, the exclusivisity of I-Ninja in Europe may be just for a period of time, I don't remember reading where it is permanent, like D&D Heroes is with it only on Xbox.

Ketchup huh?  Well I like ranch dressing on a lot of stuff, steak, noodles, chicken.

*staggers to computer*
Man, did I have too many celebration drinks or what?
Oh, I had a good reason alright! ONLY MY BIRTHDAY

My planning consisted of telling people to come and drink with me at a nice sports bar with too many tv screens. And they did too. But it was mostly me. Stupid people keep on giving me stupid drinks so I can forget my stupid name.

My memory is kinda blurred, but I can sum the night up here:
1. Getting waaay too excited about getting peanuts as a present. Curse those people and their cheap presents.
2. Getting a piggyback to my beer by a chick for some reason or another. I think it was part of a "I bet you can't" bet, but I wasn't complaining. *grope*
3. Winning a game of pool against a sober guy because he potted the black ball. I have no idea how I managed to co-ordinate myself to point the stick and stand up, but it happened.
4. Being taken home in the boot of a car. Well kinda. Six people into five seats doesn't work, so I volunteered to go into the boot with the carton I'd been given.
5. Waking up this morning with more money than I started the night with.

More details later. I have to find my phone, which I think is in the boot of my friend's car. Meh.
And I've started up a tab with people who said they were going to shout me drinks. Woo!

Soul Calibur 2 can go to hell. Honestly its soooo boring now, stupid button mashing piece of crap. Its so repetitive, every fight is the same... zzzzzzzzzzzz...... i feel ripped off in an angry way. Worst gamecube game ive ever played, did this have 1 week development time or something? -___- Why did i buy this game in the first place? Oh yeah, SCREW YOU LINK! The gimmick of Link has worn off.. i hate this game with a passion.

I cant make any other comments because i cant read any of your posts, they wont load. -___-

Soul Calibur II is one of two fighting games I actually like.  Mario, I won't disagree with you since you seem to have your mind made up.  But I really love the game.  I play it every day.  I just wish that you saw the same thing in the game that I do.  I dream about the game...  I woke up this morning thinking about Soul Calibur.

It's a good game and i can see why people like it, but im not enjoying it anymore... and if i stop enjoying a game after 10 hours, i feel ripped off. Maybe im just not playing it right... meh.

Try playing SCII with the Eye-Toy. Maybe that'll work? *punches TV*

As for SCII, it just hasn't hooked me. I'm not a huge fan of serious fighters but I love SSB/Melee because of its madness/fun factor. While SCII has me throwing my controller at the TV, SSB has me decking my mates instead.

Grey: You dreaming about SCII or just Taki?

Oooooh, I actually didn't feel like getting on the Internet yesterday. Or even today, but like, there's nothing on TV. I tell ya, something's wrong.

Happy Birthday, Shifty!
I'll have to do another late Birthday song tomorrow morning!

I agree with you, Mario. SCII has already lost its charm, well, for me, anyway. Maybe because I played it for about seven hours straight yesterday. I dunno, the CPU is friggin' CHEAP in that game. Like Mario Kart 64 (where the CPU racers would pop out of nowhere) but times a billion more. (What the hell you goin' on about Infernal?)

I've got ONE more thingy to do in the 2nd weapons masters mode, and it's IMPOSSIBLE. Five opponents, less than 30 seconds, and Taki ALWAYS BLOCKS EVERYTHING, THE F**KING CHEAP ASS *More swearing here*

As for I-Ninja being exclusive to PS2 in Europe. Boo friggin' hoo. I say good on Sony for being aggressive pricks. Not like the game will sell (OMFG IT'S NOT GHEYLO OR GTA!!11)...

Um, oh yeah, anybody seen Donnie Darko? I got that little gem on DVD yesterday. AWESOME movie. It stuffs your brain around. I like it alot.

Um, I also picked up a movie called 'Slackers' yesterday. It was only $12.95 (Very low price for a DVD, I should of taken heed of that warning). It's a bloody terrible movie. Yet another teen high school movie thingy where the guy gets the girl and there's meant to be comedy in there. I'm returning it tomorrow, I'll claim it didn't work. Yay! A free rental!

Green apples suck. Like, the Granny Smith ones. The whole name guarantee's they'll be crap. I'D LIKE AN OLD WOMAN APPLE. MMM, SOUR.

And I know, Shifty. Burnout 2 gave me the sh*ts. Runny sh*ts. You can be a heap in front, have one slip up, and BAM. You've got NO WAY of catching up. Even worse is when they somehow manage to avoid the gigantic pile-up you've just caused. NOOOO, I WANT YOU TO GET CAUGHT UP IN IT SO WE'RE ON EVEN GROUND! *Throws a thong at the TV*

Water.... flavored whatour?

I don't download much, the hightest speed I get is 28.8 for some reason and downloading more than one thing at a time just wastes my time.  

Jake Galla, err don't know how to spell his last name, is going out with Kirtsen Dunst, *Mary Jane*, he has a sister Maggie who was in a movie with James Spader, movie was called secretary or something like that, don't remember because I haven't seen it.

What's this about apples?  I like green ones, more crisp and more sour less sweet.  Of course I have to cut them up to eat them because my front tooth is half fake since my brother years ago took a NES game and hit me in the mouth with it.  The game?  Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles 2.

HOLY CRAP! We're TWINS!
Except both my front teeth are half fake. In primary school, I er.... Ran into... a pole... Playing.. Tag.. ;___;
Shattered both bottom halves of my front teeth, and they put funky fake stuff in its place. They're also sensitive when it comes to apples (and I CANNOT eat the peels). But not ice cream! *Eats 40, 000 more Bubble-O-Bills*

And there is another type of hockey that is mostly played in europe and south america. It's roller hockey. Not roller blade hockey nor street hockey. The wheels are displayed like this : :   . It is also played with a black hard ball(you won't want to get one of those on your crotch or any other part of your body). The sticks are short but slightly bigger than the ones from field hockey. The best nations in the world for this sport are Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Argentina. All other nations give no competition.

You didn't like my fantastic singing, Shifty? I wonder why! =o
I think I missed a word or two when I started rambling about getting cake. That's what happens when you don't plan what you're going to sing.

Oh yeah, if anybody's interested, both Speed Kings and SX Superstar are a mere $25 each at Target now (Xbox and PS2 versions are still $50, hmm). I was THINKING of getting Speed Kings, but by the time I'd made up my mind, I'd left the store and found myself in a gutter somewhere.

Yeah, i saw that SC2 ad last night near the end of the MTV awards. Man, Metallica are awesome. They played bits from some hits of the last twelve months, like Seven Nation Army and other hits I can't remember now, brilliant stuff. Mmmmm, guitar chords. And Coldplay. They're probably my favourite band of the moment.

Anyway, the ad was good. The in-game footage didn't look as good as it should, but a winner is Nintendo!

For you yanks, Round The Twist is an 80s kids show based on Paul Jennings' stories for kids. It's still around now, but the actors are different, and since Jennings never wrote anymore stories, the episodes are just plain crap.

Anyway, in new news, GC sales quadruple (IN AMERICA, MARIO! AMERICA!!!)since the price drop!  w00t!  
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on October 02, 2003, 10:04:33 AM

Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on October 02, 2003, 04:06:21 PM
Me think's Sony will do the whole price drop thing when they introduce their new strangly expensive coloured PS2's here soon.. WOW, URINE YELLOW PS2! MORE EXPENSIVE THAN BLACK! I'M IN! *Throws first gen PS2 out the window and buys 60 urine PS2's*

OH MY GOD, DO NINTENDOJO EVER FOCUS ON THE GAMES ANYMORE?

*jumps out from behind horse*

Whoa! Did ya miss me?
I was gone! Look, a horse.

Anyway, I went all the way out to Bumpkin Central (its in the atlas, look it up) for a two day LAN. And now I'm back with a whole swag of stuff and no sleep. Yay!

As for Nintendo's sales increasing, *counts PIAC, Mario, Infernal, Termin8, Joeyjojo, and self*
That's must mean they've sold at least 24 gamecubes! Whoa!

Post by: Mario on October 03, 2003, 06:14:35 AM
err.... sales increasing thingy is for America... not Australia... i dont know where you guys got that idea from *COUGH KNOWSNOTHING COUGH*

These forums are terrible. THEY TAKE FOREVER TO LOAD, no wonder its been so empty lately.

Well, LA-DEE-DA, MARIO!  LA-DEE-FRICKIN'-DA!!!!

Yeah, sorry about the mix up.  I knew it was only for the US, but it's still great news and I thought being dedicated PGCers you would've checked out the Talkback section by now.  Sorry again for any confusion (although Mario seems to be the only one who noticed).  i edited my message, I think.  I can't remember.

I'm sure you guys hear about what I'm learning in health class!  Well, I'll tell you:  Dealing with stress!.  Exciting?



I know what you sickos were thinking....don't deny it....

haha, i just read that nintendojo crybaby essay. i dont see why people bother writing these things. i really dont give a f*ck about all that stuff. if the guy's so passionate about it why doesnt he print out what he wrote and send it directly to nintendo little bitch. i always have a little chuckle when i see an "article" like that. i mean, its a nintendo fanboy, who is works for a fansite, and hes written 4+ pages about how pissed off he is with nintendos business strategies. aaahahahhaahhaha! teh suxor lol!!11!1

mmmmm, sand wedge

Yay i just got a SMS from Sony on my mobile! -__- something about winning a ps2 if i enter some competition about moon donuts who have the incredible ability to chew on cabbage, nutmeg and super hyena eating bees that smell like they just played timesplitters 2 on a super nintendo emulator while clapping with their eyes to the beat of the seventh michael jackson song released off the fzero x soundtrack from the crowded oven of mr gates himself who thinks pans were made for shooting james bond with in an attempt to disable channel tens plans of bringing back the secret life of us to mindless people sitting in front of the tv dipping their tacos in fanta while having epileptic fits over which madden game is better than which soccer player who throws hockey balls into a crowd of castle humping skeletons whos only purpose in life is to get more songs out than kodaks cds can handle britannicas exceptional library of cassettes involving many people playing tag on the swings humming to the sounds of hell as satans plans to take over my winamp playlist are swept into full force as fish in the water ask each other what is the right time to tell them... what is...

Do you seriously not no what Fanta is or was that a joke that just flew right passed me?

Fanta is orange soft drink and is very yum.

Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on October 04, 2003, 12:37:52 PM
i dunno....I've never heard of it....

The first time I ever saw it was for that fanta movie maker thing that was brought up during the beef tween joeyjojo, the blue baron, and i.

Yeah, we have Fanta here. . . I've never tried it, but I've seen it on occassion.

Post by: Shift Key on October 04, 2003, 09:05:20 PM
Fanta? You've never heard of it? Eh, you ain't missing much.

As for Mario, that comic is hella funny. Where on earth do you find this stuff?
And that competition? Must ... enter ...  tacos need ... fanta and ... skeletons need ... castle ... *dies*
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Infernal Monkey on October 04, 2003, 09:17:37 PM
Fanta is 1337, d00d. Or something. The bubbles actually DO burn my tounge, you know? I'm like, "WOAH, TASTY LIQUID" and THEN I'm like, "WOAH, I'M BURNING"

*EXPLOSION*

My Internet has degraded to nothing. Took about 12 attempts to dial up, but surprisingly, PGC loaded up pretty quick (15 minutes). I think I'm excited. Why isn't Animal Crossing out? RIGHT NOW. Then I'd go have a bubble bath and still play with toys and stuff in the bath, because I'm 1337. Why do we age? I'm sick of that.

Where's my barrel of pudding? Man, I could sure go for some of that right now. The barrel, that is. Mmm, wood and nails and stuff.

*Wonders if this post will post, and if anybody will scratch their heads so much they'll bleed from trying to understand this post that I hope posts*

Here goes:
He want Animal Crossing. He wants to be electrocuted in the bath by his Gamecube with Animal Crossing in it, just to see what weird stuff happens.
Pudding? How can anyone not like pudding!

All that chaos and I didn't even get on MSN over the weekend.  Why must ya'll have chaos and not tell me about it.  Damn, now I must cry and drink what's lest of my glass of orange juice that has saddly gone room temperature.

Damn, I guess I should get on MSN more often.  Berto2K, you are not on my list, who are you?  Join mine @   grish21@msn.com  .  I don't bite.... very hard.

I tell you it's crazy, my screen name at work is NitsuDevil, but at home, last time I was on I changed it back to nitsujdark.  I don't know who the Hell I am.

Hell no.  I wouldn't read that whole thing if it was the last....food....need...

It's too long and it hurts my eyes.

The only chat...thing...ever on been is that one at gaming force for 2 seconds before i was like, this is crap, i want MSN.

I've talking this been day long all.  getting at better it.  think have to don't anymore.

Oh yeah, I see PIAC has changed his sig.  I will now change mine.  It'll have that quote PIAC used to have, the one Mario said about the tomb raider movies on the GC and such.  funniest post ever, IMO.  (funniest post that made sense, that is )

oh yeah once again.  i noticed that in the post, Mario said "top right" yet my astute mind quickly told me to write "top right"  I thought i'd do that.

I only attend smart family get-togethers.

I got Bomberman Generation yesterday, played first level of first world.  Game seems to be okay, and it was like 9:45 last night I decided to play it too.  Maybe I will get the sequel Bomberman Jetters when it comes out later this month, and it's only gonna be 19.99 when it comes out too.

Post by: Bill Aurion on October 07, 2003, 03:56:30 AM
Can't wait for Bomberman Jetters!(I was going to abbreviate it, but then some people would giggle )

I wish BG's single player was a little more...err...Bomberman-ish, but it was ok.  The multiplayer is what sells Bomberman anyway ^_^

Dammit, I'd just get Viewtiful Joe. Curse you work.
How dare you come between me and my Cube!!! *shakes fist at nothing*

And besides, I'm saving money towards my next computer project - a Linux server. Not sure of the specifics, but its in the pipeline. *cue Mario Bros. theme*

Mucho work in holidays = mucho money for me!!!

But I've still got F-Zero GX and MK: DD to get, before Christmas.

Did I mention "THREE MONTH HOLIDAY!!!"

EDIT: My spelling ability, just like my coherency, reduces at this time. Also my confidence and stupid-thing-occurences increase at this time. Just thought I'd add that. WOOPWOOPWOOPWOOP!

Rachet and Clank? Well, its pretty fun, but no Jak and Daxter, although i only played the demo. I loved Jak and Daxter, which is why im interested in Jak II and plan on getting it.

Yeah same! I thought it was an ad for KOTOR or something, then when i saw the box i made an odd face that was a mixture of WTF and meh.

Great, another crappy FPS... -__-

Im sick of these crappy FPSs, too much crap is released, the last good one was Timesplitters 2, and some people didnt even like it. Meh, the FPS genre is very crappy lately. Crappy like the feeling you get when youve just bought an Xbox and a random generic sports game. *shakes head*

I've just brought the latest Hyper, and they had an preview of Manhunt, the new game by Rockstar and the GTA3 killer. Just to fill in a bit about the game, you are a criminal brought off death row and now you have a bounty on your head. It's an adult version of Hide and Seek, with guns and baseball bats and iron pipes and so on.

Anyway, that's not my concern. My concern is the rating. This should be the first game to be rated R-18+. Hyper paints some gruesome details about the exection-style moves you can pull off, and it shudders me to think what some kid may do under the influence of this game.

Either this game makes it out here under a new rating, or it doesn't make it all. I fear Sony will use their might and get away with it under a MA-15+, and it would sicken me to see my little brother get his hands on this game.

I'm actually very interested in this one. They're calling it a stealth/action game, borrowing elements from Splinter Cell and other games, but it definitely sounds unique. I might actually buy a PS2 for this game. *explodes*
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Mario on October 07, 2003, 10:50:19 PM

Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on October 08, 2003, 03:48:14 PM
Yeah, I played Sly.  Great game.  That's one game that I'd like to see on the GC that isn't.

SCORE:

GC: 15,000  
PS2: 5?  
Xbox: 3 or 2 or none or something...

Well, I finally got F-Zero!

This game is FAST and HARD and AWESOME.  F-Zero=goodness.

I also played Veiwtiful Joe for the first time.  Wasn't THAT impressed, but it was still awesome. Slowing down time is the most fun thing EVAR!  And when you speed up, you're like "WAMBAMBOOMPOWCLASHCRACKPHWAM!" all in a row, and your eyed are like, "?"

But, to put it simply, I didn't like the way Joe ran, and it annoyed me to the brink of insanity.  RUN BETTER, STUPID!

I think I'll get Viewtiful Joe used on on sale or as a player's choice, or all three.

*Raises hand*
- SOS: Final Escape
One of most original games ever! You're trapped in a big city that's constantly getting struck by earthquakes! Stuff falls over, stuff explodes! Fun! It actually develops into some kinda Metal Gear type story later on, too. Plus it's a budget title!

- Kingdom Hearts
You get to slide down a vine with Tarzan! +100 useless points!
But it's kinda fun, story is nothing to get excited over, but the sheer novelty of walking around all the different Disney cartoons is cool. Now on Platinum, too.

- Activision Anthology
Dunno if you were into Atari 2600 games, but this is a great place to start! Just under 50 games, original TV adverts, an old 80's documentary video on how gaming is getting more and more popular (it's funny, because the big video game crash happened the next year), AND IT HAS PITFALL! =o
Oh yeah, also a budget title. $30 in EB, $50 everywhere else. EB WINS?!

- Silent Hill 2/3
BETTER THAN RESIDENT EVIL. *Hides*
No, really.. If you really want to be disturbed, these games will do it to you. Where else could you go see monsters having sex, or go into a hotel and have the walls go all trippy, and have the place fill up with blood? Outstanding graphics in both games.

- Project Zero (Also known as Fatal Frame)
Another very disturbing game. To the max!
Young teenage girl walking around old haunted Japanese mansion type thing with a camera as your only 'weapon'. Ghosts pop out of everywhere, scream stuff at you, and you've gotta line up the perfect shots as they get closer and closer and closer. You can't run away from them, either. ;____;
*Almost had a heart attack playing this game*

Um.... I think that's enough of my PS2 love in this thread.

i seriously want to pre-order VJ cause being what it is, it might be in limited stock in all of Australia like Burnout 2, Skies, etc. But i never played it, and none of the stores i go to have the VJ demo disc out, so i have nothing to go on except the aussie gang's enthusiasm and a video i downloaded earlier this year.

ARRRRGH!

I've narrowed the list of games i want down to 4:
- F Zero
- Mario KArt
- MGS: TT
and maybe VJ.

VJ sounds like a must get cause of the possibility that it is limited stock, but the others i will have money for, in time....

Nah, VJ is Capcom. It'll get a decent release here, it's not being published by Game Nation.
Although Capcom recently discontinued RE0 here, it's still pretty easy to get.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Mario on October 08, 2003, 06:09:25 PM
Yeah Capcom games are everywhere, there should be heaps of room on the shelf for VJ.

Ive narrowed down my list of GC games to

- Animal Crossing
- F-Zero GX
- Viewtiful Joe
- Mario Kart: Double Dash

...seriously. Well for this year anyway. MGS, Final Fantasy, Four Swords, Pikmin 2 and Mario Golf will do for next year.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion

Post by: Shift Key on October 08, 2003, 08:08:33 PM
Sly Cooper: played the demo, hated it. Controls are horrible.
SOS: I remember Infernal getting waaaaay too excited about this one.
Activision Anthology: YES! OLD-SKOOL STYLE! Werd! I would definitely get this one.
Silent Hill: Hmmm. Maybe after I get around to playing Eternal Darkness...
Ico: Hooray for wacky gamezzzzzzzzz! *shrugs*
Disgea: Is this a game? Sounds like a horrible disease, one where your skin turns inside out and you babble about how "Billy will save us from the hax0rz!"

Ok. I made the last one up.

But the fact a PS2 still costs $299, and the fact I forked out $250 for my full license today = NOT YET STUPID!!!

EDIT: Termin8's list matches with what I want. Possibly AC, but at the moment I have no life to give to this game
And I still miss Skies!!! AiAi! Where's your copy now???

Disgaea is a cool game, its like Final Fantasy Tactics on acid or what not.  very fun.  You can pick up allies, enemies and stuff and throw them.  You can throw enemies together to create stronger enemies.  And literally, you have to pay Hell for everything.  If you like tactic style RPG's then give it a shot.  Though from what I hear, Atlus games don't get huge releases so they usually disappear after a while, so get it while the getting is good.

Silent Hill 3 is better than 2 in my opinion, but get both for the sake of playing the series, even though 2 and 3 have no real connections between them.  If you haven't played Silent Hill 1, then you won't appreciate Silent Hill 3 to it full potential though.

Enjoy it too, I don't plan on getting it anytime soon since I have like 10 games all coming out around the same time, I'll just be too busy to worry about about MK: DD.  I should be getting VJ delivered to me as early as today.

Rugby's pretty cool, but it, like, doesn't exist in the here states.  The only time I can watch it is on the portugese channel, and only when I'm lucky and catch it while channel surfing.

Bit Torrent=teh sucks for me.

Grey Ninja tried to get it to work for me, but all this stuff happened. :\
Yep...stuff.  Anyway, I gave up on it (that's why I haven't PM's you back, Grey.)

Bah.

F-Zero soundtrack is very goodly to ears.  I like.  Except that, it seems a version of the big blue theme is used in casino city (or whatever).  THEY SHOOD USE THE BIG BLUE SONG FOR BIG BLUE.  

or maybe they do do (tee-hee) that and I'm not listening close enough.  IT'S TOO FAST FOR EARS.

Well the fact is, you're a yank. of COURSE you don't watch rugby!
You guys watch Grid Iron, which is a pussy's football game, cause we Aussies (and Kiwi's, Poms, Africans, etc) don't wear ten million plates of armour to protect ourselves from bone-crunching tackles.

And baseball?
Ugh.
You guys have a World Series, yet the only country to play in it is the US!
What the hell World Series is that?
And why do you  need a glove to catch the ball? Pansies!

Fine.  We lose.  We're wimps.  And we're fat.

But seriously, Rugby is a very cool game.  I don't really know too much about cricket, except it rhymes with wicket, and they use wickets.  And that games can go on for a long time.

I never understood why we called it the world series.  I guess we assumed that the US is better than everyone else in every coneivable way, so why should we let other smelly countries try?  They'd just be crushed under our sheer........weight? :\

*moves to Australia*

Damn Yanks! *shakes fist*

EDIT:  Just call me...KN, "the one who sheers sheep"

Huh?

Big Blue is the most bestest song ever.  How do you unlock it?  NO WAIT, I WILL DO IT MYSELF, THANK YOU.
I was actually thinking of using big blue as the theme for my "I hit 1000 posts" song.

BTW, anybody know of any good VG music that sounds, how do you say, hostile?

Knowsnothing is a threat to all Americans, and in the words of our unqualified president, "Is a threat to our homeland security."

Football is a wimp sport because of all the pads, or do I mean soccer, or futball or sumtin'.
Either way Rugby is cool, but cricket is awsome.

I am a big fan, but the rest of...say... North America doesn't agree.

I posed the idea of a school cricket team, they thought I was joking *sigh*

Two new comics thrown into the depths of my site.
And I just got this email;

Quote

We have updated our profile and now it's your turn. Yes we've had a facelift in a few areas but don't panic, it's not like those shockers you see who have changed so much that they no longer look normal. No! We are still real and you still get all the great benefits of being a member of this great site but instead of being a "GameNation" member you are now an "ATARI Member".

WHY?
It's obvious - ATARI is cool. ATARI is what we gamers are all about! ATARI stands for gaming revolution and evolution.
But it's not just a gimmicky name change and a new look. It's a lot more. By being a member and updating your profile now, you:

Get a free PC Game "Driver" when you join and let us know more about you and what you like.
Get the latest news on all your favourite games.
Can win ATARI merchandise.
Get to win heaps of cool prizes through all our great competitions.
Get to be a pro by accessing all the hints and tips for our games.
Get to know about special offers and discounts on games through selected retailers.


So the jerks at Sega Ozisoft who renamed themselves to GameNation have now gone under the Atari name. Just great. Isn't Atari the ones who decided Europe wouldn't get all those GameCube games? Well, now I can understand their lack of support here...

But hell, I'll fill in a few answers for a free copy of Driver. It won't run, but it's free!
I still have a copy of Rally Masters 2000 GameNation sent me last year...

Rugby's quite rough, but nothing beats the old Aussie Rules Football. Particularly the 80s and early 90s, before they sucked the violence out of it. There's a bit of violence every now and again (MELEE!!) but the bone-crunching bumps and tackles are all but forgotten.

Ah well.

And gridiron is particularly good for the tackling and stuff, but the padding and helmets make it wussy. Not that I'd take on a 300 pound guy without padding.

And the Opening Ceremony is going up against the Simpsons marathon! *makes easy choice*
But I won't even be around for it curse you life!

EDIT: Speaking of old school games, Rockstar has re-release GTA (the original) designed for 2000/XP/ME/all those other win systems. I got a copy with Hyper (which came with a back issue of PC Powerplay)!

SCORE!!

Yes Get VJ first.  I got it yesterday and played up to Episode 4 last night.  Beat first 3 bosses and must say I am glad I got this game.  Totally fun, slow, mach, zoom.  It's all fun, and the bosses get more difficult and longer to beat as the game progresses.  I am playing "KIDS" mode because well it's my first tiem through.  Still not easy, I think kids is like the normal mode.  I like making the bus into a death trap missle.  HAHAHA, best 39.99 dollars I have spent in quite a while for a GCN game.  I'm thinking GAME OF THE YEAR.  Could it happen?  Maybe!!!!!!!!!


I like your new avatar Infernal, exercising badger.

And omg!
I finally beat Meta Ridley on hard mode just now.......stupid fast attacks. Luckily I have all 250 missiles. And hold on for just a bit longer Mario! I'll beat Metroid in no time! And the GBA? Uhhhh.......heehee. You can wait. You've got 3 other GBAs.

That sounds like a HUGE day for you guys.  I personally HATE days like that, and I HATE games that retail at less than the normal amount at launch ($50 here).  This is becuase I can never buy ALL the games, and because of that I usually end up with none. now, a day where they all come out at the same time has never happened yet, but they were all released about the same time, and I only go to Wal-Store once a month. :\ and also becuase games that retail less I always miss.... like VJ. That, or I'm torn between getting a game I really want, or getting a game I kinda want for less money.
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Bill Aurion on October 11, 2003, 05:45:17 AM
Looks like you're not going to like next month KN ...Well, at least it you like these games...

November 03 - Fire Emblem
November 11 - Beyond Good & Evil
November 11 - Bomberman Jetters
November 17 - Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
November 17 - Mario & Luigi

I'm going to be stopping off at Best Buy every single week!  What a bother
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on October 11, 2003, 06:20:35 AM
None of those games are really instant buys with me, not even Double Dash!!.  I loved the other Mario kart games, but for some reason I am not as exciteted about this game as I should be... Oh well, I'll difidently get it for Christmas.

BG&E doesn't interet me, and neither does bomberman.  I never was a fan of his games.

Mario and Luigi maybe, but I didn't really like the little that I played of Paper Mario, but since it was only about an hour or so, I still might try this game out.

fire emblem...I was excited about this game, but I'd get FFTA first.

Money is always an issue with me, but I usually get alot of games for Christmas because that's almost all I ask for (I do want an MP3/CD player, though).  VJ might have to wait for X-mas too.

Actually, my most wnated games right now would have to be FF Origins and FF Anthology so I can get into the old FF games (don't have a SNES...)

 
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: CardBoardBox on October 11, 2003, 06:54:05 AM
Fire Emblem WOO!!!  Mario and Luigi looks ok....double dash....might get it...eventually...i mean id rather have F-Zero and i dont like to have to many racing games. I WANT AN SNES =D gimme!
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Hostile Creation on October 11, 2003, 07:21:23 AM
I don't like having too many racing games, either, but I'm going to end up with three.  MK: DD, F-Zero, and Kirby, however, are all very different racing games.  So I should be fine.  If you want double dash, you should probably get it. . . F-Zero and it will be nothing alike, I imagine.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on October 11, 2003, 07:30:08 AM
The more I look at KAR (kirby's air ride), the more I think it will be really cool.  I'd like to have this game, but not pay for it, which means BIRTHDAY!! YAY!!
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Hostile Creation on October 11, 2003, 07:37:49 AM
This is the Kirby site.

It has several movies. . . if you can translate the site and look around, you should be able to find them.  It's pretty easy; the movie links are the images that have 9.8 MB and stuff written in them. . . they're sort of rectangle shaped, but with curved corners.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on October 11, 2003, 08:07:21 AM
Hey, this game keeps getting better and better.  The only thing is, even though the controls are like nothing before, this seems too similar to MK: DD, which I want more.  Whatever.

Post by: Infernal Monkey on October 11, 2003, 08:50:08 PM
Woo, went to big market thingy this morning. There were a crap load of stalls selling games, I was excited downstairs. =o
First stall I go to is a massive collection of games, but I think he like, knew what he was selling. He had Snatcher on Mega CD (UBER rare), and I went "YO MAN, WESTSIDE, HOW MUCH FOR THIS?" and he went "awww, $70" and my face turned inside out.

Then I headed along to some of the smaller stalls where old farts were selling their kids unwanted toys and stuff. One lady had a whole bunch of Mega Drive games, I picked up Hurricanes (terrible but at the same time, good platform game) and Road Rash, $3 each.
Off I go, walk around and see lots more gaming stuff, came to another place and spoted a shiny golden box. It was Zelda II on NES in a really crappy beaten up box, $1! Also got Kung Fu in a slightly better box for $2. I was then tempted to buy a whole host of Famicon games later, for .. Collection purposes.. only *is weird*, but then I thought about all the upcoming GC games and decided against it. Weeee!

sleep....

I want to become nocturnal just for the heck of it.

But weird stuff happens when I can't sleep.  Like one time, I went to bed late and I woke up in my mom's car.  true story.  sleepwalking=kinda spooky

an whenever I have a big school convention thing (like a concert or something, with all my friends) i can't sleep.  what happens is, I'm half asleep and I start imagining all my friends in my room, all dressed up, talking.  I can't fall asleep because it would be rude and embarrassing to fall asleep in front of all my friends.  It's happened three times and it's extremely strange.

I updated my games list this past week as well.  I had forgotten I still had original manuals for some of my Atari games . And multiple copies of Pac-Man and Missle Command.  Super Breakout sure was fun for like 15 minutes the other night.  Just wish I could get my 2600 hooked up, then I could use the real conrollers.  I ran those games on my 7800.  Just need a female-female rca adapter.  But last I know everything still works.

why to build my collection i dont go and buy every new game thats released infact i dont even have a gamecube or gba i buy cheapo (and quite good) snes and n64 games from 2nd hand shops and rent alot of games from the local video shop before i move to a new place and "borrow" games from my "friends" and well i'll leave it at that

That scan of the Pac-Man manual made my day, Berto. It brings back memories of when I had that on the 2600. HORRIBLE MEMORIES! That was one hell of a bad port.

Well I've been working for nearly three years now, and all I can say is: "Go and get a job!" Sure, the first job you have will probably suck (it did and still does for me) but the money has made it worthwhile. And as a result I have amassed:

~ Too many CDs to count
~ At least twelve GC games, and several GBA games
~ A computer
~ A regular supply of alcohol

So go and get it, ya bums!!!!

Pigpen, I don't know how old you are or what your living arrangements are, but I will just assume that you are fairly young and live at home.  This is the best time to have a job and have fun with what you earn.  Once you move out on your own you lose alot of freedom with how you spend your money even though it would seem like the opposite would happen.  Even a crummy minimum wage part time job can go a long way.  Come on!  Get out there and find a job!  Spend money on games, movies, restaurants and whatever else you and your friends want to do.  Have some fun!

If you already have a job and/or live on your own then......uh.......nevermind.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on October 13, 2003, 06:26:40 AM
A job...that's what I need...

The thing is, the only thing I can only do small jobs around the neighborhood becuase of my age (shoveling snow, raking leaves, etc.), and those jobs require too much...work.

That's my problem, and don't want to work.

oh, and nice avatar ms. pikmin.  a bit spooky, yes, but nice none-the-less.
____________________________________________________________

just wondering....

My GC makes this weird chirping sound when it boots up.  The cool thing is, even with the speakers off, it still makes the sound, and it's not the usual chatters and whirring it usually makes.  I don't think it's a problem, and nothing bad has happened yet.  I'm not one of those people who hear the fan going on their console and thik it's broken.

Just wondering if it happens on anyone else's (it chirps about when the starting intro ends).

Mario just saw your list and damn i agreed with everything you said exceot Super mario sunshine ( good game but not 10/10 ) and enternal darkness ( didnt find it scary and just kept thworing the sme enimies around). i loved zelda but then hated it for its sailing and timespliteers 2 was letdown by the gc control.
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Bill Aurion on October 13, 2003, 12:03:10 PM
Now to add my own input

Mario Sunshine- would have gotten a 10/10...if it had a snow level(as if that would happen ^_^...need a snow level!)

ED - Not scary, but very eerie...

Zelda - I absolutely loved sailing...The only part of sailing I didn't like was having to sail up to the Fortress(because no warp points are near it)

TS2 - Hmmmph...I have had no problem using the GC controller...I feel the GC controller is much better than the Xbox and PS2 controllers for FPSs...

Seriously, the wait for Friday is making me go more insane than usual. I think I'm actually freaking out the dude sitting next to me in the computer lab, because I'm making demented noises as I type this.

you are making demented noises?  Oi!, are you whispering about voices in your head too?  That would be fun, torment them and make them think you are really crazy.  Then when no one expects it, turn towards them and make a deep growling sound and sort of lunge for them with a wild crazy look burning in your eyes.

Actually, that retarded Henry is sitting next to me as I type, rambling on about God knows what. He greeted me this morning and told me about his sexual antics he thinks he has with all 'the hot chicks bro'. It's not even amusing from a sarcastic point of view anymore!

*Has bad gas*
Hey, there's more demented noises for everybody to enjoy!

Nope, it's this Friday! F-Zero GX + Viewtiful Joe + Animal Crossing + E-Reader (I think) = Nintendo's biggest day ever.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Mario on October 14, 2003, 04:22:27 PM
Aw noe. I went to EB and they said no F-Zero GX until next week? ?

But they also said you get a free NINTENDO RADIO when you preorder! ... so of course i didnt preorder :\

I preordered Viewtiful Joe though, because the guy who i asked about it said there would be limited copies in Australia, he also said it came out tomorow, =o?

Forgot to ask about AC, but im hyped for AC the most at the moment...

The EB guy didnt seem too enthusiastic about me talking about the Cube, what with his Xbox clothes and all. Oh well.

Check the "news". Read the F-Zero press release, it says it will be release on October 17, and they even bolded it. Nintendo better not be lying.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on October 14, 2003, 10:11:49 PM
EB are probably being titty biscuits and not wanting to clash f-zero and viewtiful joe, so they will stagger the release for a week to maximise sales, i suggest you check around at big Ws, K-Marts, Myer etc etc, see if any f-zero's turn up.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion

As much as it sucks for you guys down under to have to wait so long for games (getting shorter), I envy this bash of games release.  We haven't had this at all in NA.  Thankfully they have been spread-out.  But even if I knew they were coming, would save up.

AC will definitely burn more time...If you want something the at you can pick up and put down easily, go with F-Zero.  If you want to be up to 4 in the morning / skipping school / skipping work to play a game, go with AC

AC is just that addicting...

I'm not sure why but something's about that is just not right.

i wake up at 7 cause the phones ringing and dont go back to bed. at 9, i call EB, who i will now refer to as, "the pathetic fagboys not worthy of eating my feces" and they dont wanna break their sissy street date for AC. i think they dont wanna break it because its the only date they will ever have. apart from jerking off to anime that is.

ME: hey bitch! gimme AC! i wanna go fishing and sh*t.

PFBNWOEMF: like, i totally used to be on the highschool light and sound team!

ME: REALLY??!!?!!?oneoneoneoneoneone!!!!!!!!! DIEEEEEE! *thrusts crotch in PFBNWOEMF's face*

PFBNWOEMF: mmmmmm, this reminds me of my "pokemon weekend"

my love affair with the cube is over. im selling out to the highest bidder, and then buying the first xbox i see. im gonna pay its launch price as well as if to say, "i dont mind paying full price cause you didnt cut it crappy gamecube distributor. YOU DIDNT CUT IT!"

block your ears shifty (or should i say eyes), this isnt directed at you.

sorry cheers, i forgot they dont have school in adelaide. how rude of me to assume you understood any basic english gramma. my bad. i apologise. it totally slipped my mind that you have most likely spent your whole life up till now (all 10 years of it) in a "school substitution" centre.

for those of you that dont know, a "school substitution" centre is a place of "learning". it very closely resembles a barn of some sort. in this barn, or 'stable', little tikes are taught lots of fascinating, and remarkable things. in a typical year, they might begin to grasp these noteworthy lessons, "1 rat + 1 rat = lunch", and "your sister will be your wife one day". cheers, you are quite the scholar!

cheers: ".definitely" is a word I don't like to use when it comes to anything Nintendo-related. Especially over the last few years.

And as for the state of your wallet: GET A JOB! You came in at the end of someone complaining about forking out money, and the cans of whoop-a** opened by the rest of us!

Termin8: Nationwide? Sure, that was lectures. But the work doesn't stop. I spent 3 hours editing work. Some day off eh? And a maths practical session too. Grrr. Have a real strike day stupid activists, or stop complaining.
I saw signs saying "Official Picket Line" on the way into Uni, but there was no-one there. WTF? And there's usually the rallies or marches, but no sign of that.

Oh, another thing. In Burwood, at Kmart, the GC kiosk that used to be there is now... GONE. Theres a big empty space with dust everywhere where it used to be. And the GC section there only has like 10 or 20 games now, all cheap. And they dont even have any GOOD games, no Nintendo first party games even, yet they had like 10 copies of Disney Skating and Tony Hawk. *sigh*

Also some people are insisting that F-Zero GX will be out tomorow, although i doubt it. I'll be luck if i can even get VJ tomorow.

HUGE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS EDIT Infernal Monkey! 15 to 11 on SBS Monday night iiiiiiiiis ORGAZMO! get your VCR ready! oh yeah and for anyone who has nfi what im talking about, orgazmo is a movie by matt and trey (creators of southpark, members of DVDA) they better not censor it this time, but then it IS rated r18+ so they have to censor it alittle for public tv.

We got that MegaMan Transmissions game, Shabadoo. I've seen it with my own 17 eyes. It was yet another super limited release, and after reading nitsu's review, I don't want it.

AC has me in its smelly animal type grasp now. I'm actually planning on waking up early tomorrow TO PICK MUSHROOMS IN THE GAME. I WOULDN'T DO THAT IN REAL LIFE! =o

Yeah, read my review, (I'm not sure where it is though.  Maybe it's in my journal, or you can look at my games list for a small review of what Ithought of it).  Either way, both can be gotten to through the links in my siggie.

I warned you, but you didn't listen! ^_^

Ear-ly? What is this? A small country in Africa perhaps. Either way, it sounds like witchcraft I tells ya.

cheers: I don't take kindly to being messed around with. Bulls*** artists are DEFINITELY not welcome.

PIAC: Orgazmo and Baseketball are two of the funniest movies I can remember. I'll definitely get the VCR ready for this one. Cheers

Mario: I agree. The two games I preorder are likely to be delayed, leaving only AC (which wasn't available Thursday night). I was going to ask the manager what's happened, but he was working a GC sale to some people. Oh well.

*dusts off harassment boots*

Bill: Is this "electronic crack" anything like "plumber's crack"? Cos if it is!! *shakes fist*

I went to go get skies or arcadia!  best buy doesn't have it!  I expected that!

BUT

I got some awesome nintendo/vg clothes instead.  

I got a shirt that says "know your roots" on the front with a picture of the NES controller, and a red nintendo sweatshirt with the nintendo logo on the front.

I also got this great gaming shirt.

It has three pictures on it in a row.  the first says "good" with a picture of a guy with a girlfriend.  The second one says "better" with a picture of a guy with two girlfriends.  the third says "best" with a picture of the guy playing videogames. awesome indeed.

MARIO!  YOU ANIMAL!

AC is addicting, though.  It holds the record of longest VG played in one sitting.  Between me and one of my brothers, we played AC for 12 hours strait.

Post by: Hostile Creation on October 16, 2003, 01:15:10 PM
That'd hurt my head.  I don't play for more than 6 hours, generally, and that's really long for me.  Zelda games usually keep my attention the longest.
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Bill Aurion on October 16, 2003, 01:19:33 PM
Agreed...The longest I've played a game is Link's Awakening for 7 hours, but that was because I was stuck on a plane for all that time.  I like taking breaks every hour or so...

Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on October 16, 2003, 02:19:17 PM
Golf club?

Anyway, I don't usually play for that long.  I'd say that out of those 12 hours, 7 were probably mine.  But still, that's MUCH longer than my second longest sitting, which is probably only 2 hours.  Whatever.  I WIN!

Oh and I've been wanting to do this for a while.  I will now put in any of the little emoticons that I can't figure out what they are, or that I'm curious to see what they look like:

Longest I've ever sat on my ass for an extended period of time whilst indulging in a video game would be either Terranigma or Super Smash Bros. Melee.

I bought my GC for SSBM, and had a friend with me when I got it, we played it from about 3PM to about 1 AM the next morning. ARG, MY EYES!

Holy crap, I had to go an a journey to get my precious copy of VJ, but I got it! And I met the BEST EB GUY EVER! He actually knew what he was talking about, and is pro Nintendo ++!

We talked for a bit about both VJ and AC, and he then got the copy out of the cabnit and I forked over my $100. He then said I didn't get a choice of colour (I didn't care, pink ROCKS ). They'd only gotten one yellow and three pinks in. THAT'S IT FOREVER. Apparently Capcom don't think much of the Aussie GC market, and we're only getting the 1000 initial copies (That's mega sad =/), if it does sell out Mach Speed quick, Capcom might throw some more our way. Lets hope.

We talked a bit more (About Skies and PSO's sad releases, mainly) and he then asked if I wanted some back issues of Nintendo Gamer, and I was like "Wha?"
They had a few dusty mags out back, and he sold me three for $3. Hurray! BEST EB AND SALES DUDE EVER!

VJ is brilliant. GAME OF TEH YEAR? Serious possibility in my books! Even though.. I don't.. have.. a ... book.. with.. games of the yeah.. What?

Yay Viewtiful Joe and Animal Crossing are awesome!

I got Animal Crossing at 12pm, and the EB guy said they weren't getting Viewtiful Joe in until a bit later, so i hung around a bit... waiting for it. I played some Jak II, which is a brilliant game, im definately getting that sometime, then it froze, and i just backed away and pretend nothing happened. VJ still hadnt arrived, it was 12.10pm now. I attempted to play the N-Gage but it froze as soon as i pressed a button, so i pressed all the buttons to try and fix it, and it made a cracking sound, i think i might have broken it or something, so i slowly backed away from it.

It was about 12.20pm now, still no sign of Viewtiful Joe. So i walked around a bit and found a GC kiosk and played some Soul Calibur 2 with some guy ive never met before. It was pretty fun, would have been more fun if you had more than 2 characters to choose from though, stupid demo. We played that for about an hour, still no sign of Viewtiful Joe, i was getting worried that maybe EB werent gonna get it today after all.

It was about 3pm now, i was just hanging around EB... bored... and then i saw some guy come in wheeling some cardboard boxes, i went ", Viewtiful Joe must be in there!". To my lack of surprise, Viewtiful Joe was in there. I grabbed it and ran, since i had already paid for it.

Finally i was home, with Animal Crossing and Viewtiful Joe in my hands.

I popped in Viewtiful Joe first, and woah what an awesome game. I love it, pure old school 2D goodness mixes with modern cel-shaded graphics, awesome gameplay mechanics and a suberb, intuitive and fun fighting system. Capcom, THANK YOU for this freaking gem of a game. I am so proud of being on of the thousand people in Australia who will end up having a copy of Viewtiful Joe. I got the Pink box by the way, thats the only colour my EB recieved, so i didnt have a choice. I would have choose pink anyway though.

Then i gave Animal Crossing a go, started playing... kept playing... and playing. God damn this game is addictive! The graphics are nothing special but that doesnt matter, i love the charm of this game, and all the stuff that would normally be boring in real life, is fun in this game. But im a bit pissed with it at the moment though because i decided to go on the train to see what would happen, and ended up losing all my items and cash. Im off to a great start. Yay.

I'm happy i picked up two very good games.

And one more thing, i heard an EB guy say that F-Zero GX was coming out tommorow. Not really sure though.

Haha...Doesn't it say in the instruction book not to go on the train unless you have someone else's memory card in slot B?

But yes, AC was probably my longest running game...From September of last year to January of this year...This was an N64 port; just think of the possibilities for the next one!

Sorry I didn't stick around Piac.  Just the 1/2 hour I spent on the forum helped me get the stuff off my mind that was keeping me up and then I was very tired.  

I like Doshin the Giant, but must admit that I've only been able to sit down once for about 1/2 an hour to play it.  I've been too busy recently to play much.  Especially to start a new game. I will say that I like that you can change the landscape in the game.  You can pull the land up out of the water or jump on solid ground and have it become part of the ocean.   It's kinda cool to have so much influence over the environment.  Sometimes, though, the landscape changing can be a pain.  The people will ask you to help lift or lower parts of the land.  If you don't lift/lower the EXACT right area they become unhappy.  It takes a bit of practice but it does get smoother.  

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.  Maybe you can tell me the wonders of the game once you get into it.  You'll probably get much further in before I do.

Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: akdaman1 on October 17, 2003, 05:40:36 PM
i dont know much about it but it seems like a great game from what ive heard. i wont import it though... saving up for next year ( Geist, RE4, TOS and BK ) plus MK DD this year. and an action replay of course.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on October 17, 2003, 06:00:46 PM
Really......?

From what these keen ears have gathered, Doshin the Giant was asi-asi.  Like, y'know, cool and stuff @ teh beginingignign but then got like....boring....

Like, all you don is help villagers? Move around landscape.  Kill people.  Turn Evil.  Turn Nice again.
....Sounds like AC only without the fun. :\

Meh...I'm sure it's actually really good.  Just doesn't seem like the right game for me.  Me gusta juegar videojuegos.  Me no gusta Doshin the Giant, probablemente...quiza...yo piense.

Yo no gusta la clase de espanol.  Espanol es no divertido. :\

VJ IS AWSOME, its so campy and cool, im upto episode 4! on kids mode ;P but its still awsome! AWSOME except he doesn't say  ZOOM IN, SSSSSLEEEEEWWWWWWWW and MACHU SPEETD every time, thats kinda a downer, so it gets 9.9999999999 off me instead of 10 ;p

im at episode 5 and have to say that the episode 4 boss ( i know his name just dont wanna add any spoilers ) is the best ever boss fight in the history of mankind. BEST EVER BOSS. THE gfx ARE viewtiful and sound is the best ( i love the episode 2 soundtrack ). my only gripe is that Joe is slow ( that rymes ) and that the opening scene had lots of glitches. ( Joe had his hand poking through his chest etc.

What part of the California are you from Ms. Pikmin?  I saw that you were wanting some concert tickets for Northern California is how I know that much.  I am originally from San Jose, but am in Marina right now for school at CSUMB.

PIAC is right, I am some sort of forum zombie most of the times.  I have been known to pull all nighters in back to back weeks, and stay up till 4 or 5 in the morning most of the time.

But hey, at least I get in a few good hours of chillin with coo people, even if they are almost on the other side of the globe.

Methinks PIAC needs more pie. Or maybe VJ is making you see things... nah that makes no sense, you must need more pie

Either way me and Berto tied because we posted at the same MINUTE . I wish it showed the second you posted at as well as teh minute, so i guess we will never know

Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Bill Aurion on October 20, 2003, 07:04:25 PM
First you need to trade names and town names...Then when you go to Tom Nook and wish to give an item away, he asks you to fill in the other person's name and town.  Caps count, so make sure you type it in correctly.  Nook will give you a long passcode that you can give to your friend, and he can type it in at Nook's to get the item...

its a specific code for only your town and player name.

a bit more info: talk to Nook... go to "other things", select "hear code" to obtain the code to give to a friend. When a friend gives you a code got to "say code".

Termin8: You've heard of encryption haven't you? Its pretty much like what happens in AC. You enter in the details, the game puts it through an algoritm or something, and produces an unreadable output- the code.
When the code is put into the person's AC, it is deciphered and voila, one item, transported by magic!!!

I walk away with the grand prize. My door is caved in, but hey! It still works. Although I can't get the window any more than half way down now. Oh well.

My day was okay (mad rhyming skillz dog... you betta represent foo!!!)

Okay, well it was fine, brought two baby turtles into work that we hatched from eggs at home.  They are a little skittish from the move, I named one turtle Odin, well you know from the Norse God.  and my mom named hers Chessie, from the monster that is suppose to live in the Chesapeake Bay.  I teased her that she named hers after a pizza place (which we don't think is around anymore)  The two turles are red ear sliders, water turtles.  Both of them can sit in the palm of my hand with room left over for a third and fourth.  VERY CUTE TURTLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by: nitsu niflheim on October 21, 2003, 10:58:30 AM
Too much work for me really.  I don't really like to paint, at least not walls and stuff.  If it involves dust, stirring up dust or things that make dusty stuff then I am not gonna be involved.  If I breath dust, well too much then I have a real hard time breathing.  We had drywall we were throwing away and by the time I got finished with it, I felt like I was breathing through one of those stirring sticks you use to stir coffee from 7-Eleven.  I stayed that way for almost a day.  I probably should have gone to the doctor but, well I woudl rather just not and make people feel sorry for me.

Piac, I think Doshin gets much more complicated as you go.  I remember the review on this site said something like you'll eventually be running between around 7 villages and tasks become more pressing.  

I've never played Black & White but I have heard you guys mention it several times.  What is it?  
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Bill Aurion on October 22, 2003, 09:35:30 AM
It has basically the same concept as Doshin, but you can choose a "guardian" from among a few species of animals(lion, turtle, etc...)  Even like in Doshin, you can choose to run your world as a good guy or as a bad guy...Basically a darker/more realistic version of Doshin...

but with worse controls and minimal villager interaction, funny songs though, those guys building the boat at the start of the game are hilarious , its not bad but it does have some problems, i ended up ignoring my animal almost completely while trying to be good for the villagers, also being 'bad' doesn't work all the time because you still have to be nice to win villagers and extend your area of rule :\ hopefully Black and White 2 will be better, because its a good concept.

Sorry for that non-existent word up there.  It was fun to write.

Oh yeah, today and yesterday I went around to a bunch of people and asked them if they wanted to be my friend.  I have, like, 11 friends.  I'd have more, but there were a few people I didn't ask because I was afraid they'd say yes and hang around me for the rest of the day.  EMBARASSING'D!  uhhh....yep.

VJ is fcking impossible in Episode 6, as Infernal just pointed out.

I mean, unlike Nintendo's games where you can actually see the patterns arise in the bosses, I just can't see the patterns in VJ's bosses. Sure, i know what their attacks are, but they are like unpredictable!
I hate the shark! I hate the Axe dude, I hate the Shark! I hate that....last other boss dude. I'm actually finding that Another Joe is getting easier, so he's cool.

Well according to EGM, breaking the street date can be dangerous for a store.  They can be fined anywhere between $5,000 and $50,000 (or maybe $500,000, I don't have the mag at hand right now.) by the game company  Mom and pop stores are more likely to break the street date, but EB does release a game early from time to time.  I guess it depends on how is publishing the game.

I got the new Castlevania game yesterday (I know it not Nintendo) but I must say it's really not that bad.  I got to my first boss last night, but died because I didn't have any potions or what left.  I have to redo all that I did since I last saved, a bummer but really not that bad because the game isn't that hard.


And also, behold the pie monkey.

AUS$54.70

But I bought the game anyway!
And it comes with a free radio thing with the GC logo and scrolling text that says 'Don't Blink and Drive'. Hehe!
And I didn't even pre-order it!

I'll be back soon with impressions! But you already know that it's fast........and how good it is......stupid release dates.
But GX is a genuine Aussie Nintendo product - 'Assembled in Australia' - and not 'assembled in Germany' like many other 'unimportant' PAL games like Viewtiful Joe -_____-

Bad little GameCube Advanced website.  One of the readers sent them the link to my captured Mario Kart (the one posted in Gamecube section) on my webspace.  They claiming that one of their Japanese readers "stumbled" upon it.  I sent them an email explaining it was mine.  They better give me credit for it, or I will rename the file so the link doesn' t work .

Boo, they better give you the credit, Berto! OR THERE WILL BE HULK SMASHING INVOLVED.
Woo, F-Zero get. I didn't even bother with the EB here, I had an EPIC train adventure to Parramatta's EB, WHERE SUPER COOL NINTENDO FAN DUDE WORKS.

I barrel rolled in, and I went "YOYOYOYOYOYOYOYO" and I pointed to my yo-yo. Then I asked if I could do the two trade in games deal thing, and he went "WHY YES" and got a shiny F-Zero game out the back. I then handed over stinky pants Wreckless and Xmen and he went "Can't accept them, they're only $20 brand new... Erm.... However... Seeing as you actually appreciate GameCube, I'll give you $40 for the both of them, F-Zero comes to $59.95" And I made a happy/shocked face at this guy because he was so damn cool. So basically, I'd paid $20 for Xmen and $20 for Wreckless early this year at Grace Bros. and got the full price back in store credit! I pulled out a $50, and had to give him the rest in 50 cents pieces and $1 coins.

He also had a box of SMA4's there, and the boxart is exactly like it was on the NES, cool! Then I ran off all excited and had an EPIC journey back (Train almost exploded or something)

I got no F-Zero radio though. ;___;
Oh well.

I'm liking the new avatar, Nitsu. Very much.

Oh hey! Guess what, my fellow Australians!

Rebel Strike is going to be sold brand new for just $89.95!!!!
Will we be getting the bonus disc?
I have no idea......


F-Zero GX is THE most dizzying game I have ever played. I am only taking a break cause my eyes are sore from the sheer amount of detail in the game and the speed it's coming toward me.
Story Mode is starting to piss me off now. Chapter 3 just won't give me a proper go.
Chapter 2 was waaaaay cool though.
Dodging those boulders was pretty intense, then having to beat Goroh.....ooooh


Well, looks like VJ will be gathering dust now

how can VJ gather dust, any sane person will never ever stop playing the most AWSOMENESS game ever ( yes viewtiful joe inspired that word ).

Can't wait till my bro gets home and we can play some multiplayer!

My VJ's gathering dust because my house is very dusty. True story! It's like super thunder couger falcon bird dust. (What?). Leave stuff out in the open for a few days and it'll be consumed by dust.

I even got some magic spray crap for my TV, anti-dust or some rubbish, AND IT DOESN'T WORK. Mr. Sheen needs a good bitch slap for selling me what's basically urine in a spray bottle.

Yeah, I'm totally stuck on Chapter 3, as well. CURSE THEIR ABILITY TO BEAT ME!
Alllllllllsooo... Captain Falcon's theme song is awesome-o-tastic! IT NEEDS TO BE ON THE RADIO, AND VIDEO HITS! THey could have beetles and bin lids dancing around, it'd be rad.

Now that you have heard so many track and pilot audios, you can feel better about downloading them from here:

F-Zero GX and AX music

I would host them, but they over 350MB worth of files.  I only have a 100MB limit and 87 is being used now.

glad to hear everyone loves f zero, by the way , i just relised that SSX3 is already out in australia. i think that NOAustralia are really outdoing them selves this year, cmon , who would have thought that we would get the biggest holiday game this season be4 the U.S.A ( i am talking about mariop kart ). we got wario world first and it only took animal crossing a year to get here.

If there was an award for best new franchise, Viewtiful Joe would win hands down.
The love and fun just oozes from this game. And it is very challenging. Inventive puzzles, and classic superhero enemies like lasers, helicopter gunships and evil versions of the hero! Sorry to spoil, but its a classic! Get it already!!!
Like the part where you have to ride the bus with the afterburners across the gap. It took me a moment to think that you had to slow time to cross the gap, very rewarding too!

*picks up F-Zero case*

Now for more playing!

F-Zero GX is the best game i have ever played. Thats the vibe im getting from it at the moment. I wish i never bought Animal Crossing too, because i had no money for SMA4 today

Oh yeah, i got the radio with it too.

Anyway, back to my HOT NEON SEX.

And Animal Crossing is more worth your money than Super Mario Advance 4.  Both are absolutely fantastic games, but AC will last you much, much longer

AC is boring though

I havent played it in days. Ive put about 3 hours into it since i bought it a week ago. Maybe its just my town, which sucks. Or maybe im not doing it right. Bleh, i wantee Super Mario Advance 4!

AC boring?  In the words of PIAC, "HAVE YOU BRAIN WORMS???"

poo to you then.

glad I'm not the only one who thinks chapter 3 in f-zero is made of ass.  chapter 2 did "rock" though.  haha!  It's a play-on-words!

I think we should have a pun competition.  I'll put it in the jokes thread.  Puns are the greatest kind of joke ever invented.  EVER.

also there are alot better games than goldeneye and perfect dark, ALOT
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: akdaman1 on October 24, 2003, 03:30:19 PM
i played perfect dark in multiplayer once and the framerate was the worst ive ever seen, it was rough and kept on skipping, i found goldeneye better, but even goldeneye doesnt hold up to todays standards. i mean you now got the half lifes, the halos and the timesplitters. bUt im not taking any credit away from goldeneye.

i used to think LOZ WW was the best thing ever, then i got up to the last two dungeons ( boring zelda moment ), and then the sailing came along... GEEEZ, i better stop, dont wanna get flamed.
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Shift Key on October 24, 2003, 04:22:45 PM
cheers: Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were the best for their time, but ultimately something else will come out that does the same thing only faster/prettier. Goldeneye holds a special place for me because it was one of the early console FPS, and one of the best. Reactions based on where you shot them started in Goldeneye, and I can't say I've seen it done better since.

As for F-Zero, it really is something special. The attention to detail, from what I have seen, is amazing, even when racing at 1500km/h! And the difficulty is insane! And I love it! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: joeyjojo on October 24, 2003, 04:27:39 PM
what the. why do the last 2 dungeons in WW get dissed? i thought they were the best ones. they were more challenging than the rest, which were piss easy. it could be a case of, "last 2 dungeons= ghey"... "yeah, um i think that to man..."        ...   "oh yeah! like, last 2 sucked man, thats what i think (now)"   ....   "totally"  

they should have made it that you found pieces of the triforce by doing side quests rather than just finding them in the ocean. i f*cked off doing most of the side quests cause i knew it was just for lousy hearts and sh1t. "oh wow! i did a bunch of stuff for you and youre giving me pocket lint in return! COOL! hey at least its not rupees or another piece of heart that i dont need because this games so easy!"

ps. i thought AC was boring when i was doing my first jobs. now i hooked like a mofo.
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: PIAC on October 24, 2003, 04:45:02 PM
i actually liked the sailing, but it is a weak point of the game, the islands are too small, if they were bigger it would be more entertaining, we had the half lifes then too, there is a golden eye mod for half life ;p

the last 2 dungeons were not challenging cause of the enimeies or by the puzzles, but because it was very repetive and reminded me of the water temple in OOT. WW put me off zelda...i wish i loved it more..i lost half of my friends cause i was so happy that windwaker was coming then was let down with the dissapointment.

i loved viewtiful joe... my favourite game after MK 64 ( i have Super mario kart  but was too young to like it ). i reccomend viewtiful joe to everyone.. but i knew be4 i bought viewtiful joe that im gonna be in trouble wif mario kart...so after i beat it and the non stop nagging by my sister and brother..i gave in and bought mario kart. its complicated i know, but follow along.

1. last friday i bought Viewtiful Joe from Video gameplay ( EB didnt have it yet ).

2.i beat it on sunday.

3. i decide today ( saturday ) that i want mario kart really badly, i want the steering wheel as well ( it comes if you pre order it from EB ). so i went to Video Gameplay and returned Viewtiful JOe and got $100 put on to 1080 avalanche. then went to EB and put $10 on mario kart and an extra $10 to get the steering wheel. i just walked away with a game , my mom would never of let me get. ( 1080 ).

PS. i played f zero and hated it...J/K .  i played it i loved it...it was very fast and everything i expected it to be and more. 9.34 out of 10.

nintendo will have bigger memory cards, loger controller cables ( or wireless ), online play is certainley being looked into, third party support is growing and nintendo know that they are important , all this is pretty much a definate for the next console, i know this cause its been admitted that nintnedo have made mistakes etc. anyway all i really want with thier next console is demoes.

nah really , i was running around school talking zelda non stop ...that would be alright if you were a hardcore gamer...but me and another kid are the only ones who look up games 24-7. people say they saw a commecial and its kiddy...thats just dumb cause i loved the graphics...the battle system is 10 times better in windwaker than in OOT...it was just the puzzles and the bad level design for me.. that put me off it.

it was also a very easy game. There were good parts in the game...when you fought thouse 30 or so enimies once in H****e T*****e etc.

LttP and OoT are my two favourite Zelda games (equal faves).
WW just didn't give me that satisfying feeling at the end.

Oh look, I beat him. Now for the Ganon battle. What? The End? Crud.

Or perhaps I was just looking for an epic adventure (even MM managed to do that - Go Oni Link!) and WW seemed too brief. The two Sage Dungeons were good, especially the working in tandem puzzles, but yeah, over too quickly.

When I first beat it I thought, "The last boss was too easy, that was stoopit."  But the second time I played the boss I had a VERY hard time beating him and I almost died.  It was strange.

I really want to play WW over but my disc doesn't work anymore.

Anyone want to buy a broken WW?

It'll come with a free pie and batch of cookies starting at the low-low-low-low-low-low price of $39.99!  But just for YOU, I'll slice off a nice $5 off that, making it the super-de-duper low-low-low-low-low-low-low price of $34.99!  WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?  BUY NOW!! OFFER ENDS SOON!!!

Man, Diamond Cup is incredibly frustrating on Master class...I have to be constantly boosting just to keep up with the pack.  And my first burst of temper in a year sprang up when I got bashed off the track near the end of the third lap in Cosmo Terminal...You know how long that track is? >_<

*wants to give up, but also wants the AX tracks*
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Hostile Creation on October 26, 2003, 06:14:30 AM
I should get around to playing more F-Zero, but Kirby has got my attention right now.  I'm on Chapter 9 on story mode and need to beat the third cup on standard and expert. . . then all the rest.  Yeah, but now I'm just getting little colored blocks in Kirby.

i know f0 is hard but..how hard is it when compared to another game...viewtiful joe.


by the way..anyone check out *******SPOILERS*********

www.mariokartdoubledash.co.uk   - the secrets section.

the one at the bottom really suprised me. ( just for people who are curious its not a charecter )
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on October 26, 2003, 10:13:58 AM
F-Zero GX chapter 7......OMFG!!!!

Expert is so hard, I don't really wanna find out what Master is like.
I think the most frsutrating track in Diamond is the Phantom Track. Hahahahah! IF you want a really psychedelic experience, the phantom is all you need! Imagine going along the purple strips to recharge your energy, then realise the track ends at the end of the strip! Arrrrrgh! Frustration get! And the track is so thin, it's impossible to overtake people! So you stay in last place AND lose your lives from falling off!
Yay!
Although, Rainbow Road in Mario Kart (and in F-Zero X) was pretty cool.

Same thing happened to me the last time I tried Master on the Diamond Cup...I'm recharging my power when someone flys up next to me and bashes me through that tiny crack at the end...I haven't tried again since

hey i just played mario kart...i used mario and wario with bowesrs cart and the speed was better than mk 64

the special weapons add alot to the game and the track design ( i only played one stage ) was awsome.

it was much more realistic ( the handling ) and options seemed alot wider. there were alot more diversity for who to choose and to come up with strategies .

9.99 out of 10

the only problem was the t.v screen was hanging off the roof and had my head up the whole time..i have a sore neck now.

you and your eboyfriends piac! you have a new one each week, you little WHORE!



so anyway, animal dropping has taken over my house. both my brothers, my sister and i are all playing it. i think my mums even kind of interested in it cause its all that we're  talking about. one of my siblings keeps fishing and dumping the boots and tires and crap on the ground so they can carry more finish. this makes me a sad spike head boy...

on another note, today me and a couple of friends went to this yumcha place in chatswood. so we're getting a few dishes here and there without any idea how much stuff is costing cause everythings in chinese. all we had to go by was a little slip of paper where the waitresses would put stamps in various boxes to tally up the meal. ANYWAY, this woman comes along with a trolley of food and offers it to us and i pointed to something and asked how much it was. the dumb biatch puts the dish on the table so i say (very politely) "im sorry, how much is this?". her reply consisted of slamming the slip on the table, making an uglyass face and walking away muttering mega pissed off sounding words.

to her i say, F*CK YOU!

How dare you make fun of Yum Cha!!!!
The way to tell how much you have to pay is where the stamps are on the slip. There's ontl three or four areas the lady can put the stamp, and thats on 'small', 'medium', 'large', and maybe 'X Large'. These are the sizes of the dish you choose. Obviously, small is cheaper than large.
If you have more stamps on the large, then well, expect a hefty bill

Some restaurants have the price of the small, medium, etc dishes, so you could basically work it out from there.

Yum Cha is yum!
And in the US, they call it Dim Sum for some reason, but I guess they both mean the same thing.

I wanted to see if I'd get a NES game or something as a present. BUT NO! Then I changed it back, and ended up getting a FLOOD of mail. It was amusing.
Oh yeah, hey, when do we get Mario Fart: DD here? I've forgotten.. And also, is it possible to cancel a pre-order at EB if you've paid it off fully?

EB here doesn't want anything to do with the cool 'pre-order Mario Kart, get a steering wheel for $10' thing, as they hate Nintendo. So I wanna cancel it, go on a magical train trip and pre-order it AND get my steering wheel from cool pro-Nintendo EB Parramatta.

I sleep through thunderstorms with ease.  And then in the morning my parent's are like. "did you hEAR the big THunDer LASt niGHT?"

what?  no.  I slept.

They're like, "!!!"

Anyways, this week is going to be horrible.  Basketball yesterday, baketball twice today, one half hour longer than usual (the one where you work more -___- ), basketball twice tomarrow, and a game over the weekend.  TOO MUCH WORK,  I NEED TO PLAY VIDEOGAMES TOO, Y'KNOW.

I like sleeping through storms. . . or, rather, going to sleep during them.  The rain and lightning is all sort of soothing, sitting there, spoiled, under your nice warm sheets.  Yup.  Storms at night are nice. . . I also like cold winter days (Louisiana cold, not Canada cold. . . cool, really ) and overcast fall days.

Dats a lot of basketball.  Funny.

Yeah, blisters suck.  I'm pretty apt at avoiding them, though.  Luckily.  Mainly I do it by just sitting on my bum and playing video games, though.

lol.  bum blisters.  eww.

I only get them on my feet.  I really need to get new basketball shoes.  My current ones were my b-ballers last year, and this year they're b-ball and street and really dirty and loose and crap.  :\

yay, choose your own adventure! me renemberz! its all coming back to me... im at my crazy aunts house and shes nowhere to be found. all i have is this lousy skull key at my disposal, but whats this? i seem to have 'stumbled' across a secret door underneath the stair case! yada yada yada yada... griffins! medieval dude! time travel! instant death! glaven!

Lauren eh? I know one. And she is HOT HOT HOT!
Wait......
I know TWO Laurens!
And they are both HOT!

Here's my 'halloween story':
I really have no idea why the hell you guys do it, but when i was around 8, my sister and i wanted to do halloween, just to get into the fun, cause we seen it in the movies and tv shows heaps.
So we dressed up (in a hooded sweater which i pulled down over my face to be the Grim Reaper or something.....don't ask. I have no bloody i dea what my sister was), and we went into the street.
It was so quiet. There were no kids outside, no houses has scary lights or pumpkins in their windows. We went over to my neightbour's house - he's the kind, 70 year old wise man in our street who's seen our part of Sydney become more populated with Lebs and Wogs than Aussies over the years, he's been here since the 1930s, I believe - and I think me and my sister kinda got the drift that Australia doesn't really celebrate Halloween when we finally got our bounty.......

Raisin Bread.

-_________-

Mocking our surprise when we saw it wasn't lollies and chocolates, we went home, didn't eat the bread, left it past the expiry date, and never talked about it again.

I got an Eye Toy today, its pretty fun, but not as fun as you would think. But that wasnt teh gaming highlight of today.

I got to... almost (;__;) play Mario Kart!! I could hear quite a large crowd around the gaming section in Kmart, then i saw heaps of little kids playing Mario Kart! I went "Yay!", then saw how much fun they were having and went ":thumbsup;". So i waited... and waited... and freaking waited... there was like 20 little kids all lined up to have a go, and i was just there to pick up something quickly, so i went "-__-", then ":(", and left. But... the game looks AWESOME! O_O The graphics are really really good and it just looks SO DAMN FUN! 15 days until this baby is in my living room... ooooooooooh yeah! :D:D:D

i would attempt to be one of four or five ideas, that's if haloween was anything special down here, most people who want to go tick or treating don't even bother getting dressed up -___- HEY CAN WE HAVE SOME FREE LOLLIES!?!?!?!... go away stupid kids. but err yeah, i would have either gone as Guybrush in his Monkey Island 2 clothes (cool beard, blue jacket etc) go as him in his Monkey Island 1 and 3 clothes (white puffy shirt and pantaloons) also carrying MURRAY!!! BWUAHAHAHHAHA, go as Guybrush like he did to the Govenor Marley Mardigras and Fish Fry, meaning i would have had a pretty pink dress on ;P,  or somehow go as Snorlax, mmmmmmm giant foam-rubber suit, or.... go as the 'real life peter griffin on drugs' guy, basically wear the real life versions of his clothes and get a mask and stuff to look like the cartoon character, see the episode 'everybody go the hop' and you will know what im talking about

but instead of all of the above, i... will.... play animal crossing -__-

Mario 3 - Halfway through World 8...Bowser here I come!
F-Zero GX - Damn it, I will beat Diamond Cup on Master Class if it's the last thing I do!

Watching Scary Movie 3 with some friends...It will most likely suck, but I am going to see Leslie Nielsen and Charlie Sheen ^_^  And I still need to watch my 4th DVD of Full Metal Panic...

Well.  I have just discovered something.  I suck at carving pumpkins. :\

I totally messed up one eye.  I tried to make it like a werid X thing but.....it sucked.  So by then I had given up hope and sloppily made the mouth into......something else that sucked.

By then I said to hell with this, turned the pumpkin around and carved "PGC" on the back.  I think we all know which side will be facing forward. ^_^

If we get a digital camera before my pumpkin starts rotting I'll have a pic up. (i doubt it'll happen, so use your imagination).

Hmmm... Halloween is still kinda a non event here. They've been slowly pushing Halloween since about 1996-ish, but like PIAC said.. So far it's just resulted in little shits not dressing up and still asking for lollies. I'm home alone tonight, so if any turds ask me for lollies and they're NOT wearing a hilarious costume, they'll be getting a sheet of toilet paper.

*Walks over to Bills place to play Rush 2*
Hurray! *Spins 40, 000 times in the air only to land on roof* Aww.

Ooooh yeah. VGMix is back up now (www.vgmix.com). Like OC ReMix, but not as strict with the submissions. They've got some cool stuff you won't see on OC ReMix, like an awesome Sonic 2 Hidden Palace zone trance remix, and.. You know.. Stuff.
I'm off to play some Mario Kart demo later today! Weee!

Halloween for us is of course about the kids.  This year my son is the red Power Ranger and my daughter is Belle from Beauty and the Beast.  

Last year we dressed our daughter as a red Pikmin.  It was cute.  She wore a red leotard and we made her a hairband thing with a white felt flower on the top.  It looked good, but of course no one had a clue what she was supposed to be.  They thought she was just supposed to be a flower.

I haven't dressed up in years.  My husband always wants to do some couples thing that have usually ended up in my humiliation.  Such as the year he wore a really cool Ghostbusters costume he made and then I was unfortunate enough to wear a Stay-Puft Marshmallow man costume to go along with him.  It was kinda funny but I felt really stupid most of the night.

Now, every year he asks what I want to be for Halloween I only reply "I just want to be me" in an overly cheery voice that annoys the crap out of him.

My Halloween costume idea is in my avatar.    It's guaranteed to scare just about anyone.  But Ms. Pikmin, that truly sounds horrible.  I would never go as the marshmallow man, and you can see my standards are preeetty low.  I feel sorry for you.

Oh CRAP!  I have 15 minutes left to buy Halloween Candy in Animal Crossing....

Halloween blows down here...anyway...i guess im off to pull off a few tricks of mine...last time it was Hallaween about 2 years ago...if i may recall..i ended up breaking a gate...worth 1000 dollars and being chased by a man with a knife dressed up as the dude from scary movie...seriously.

This is the first time i have ever told anyone this...but im being serious...we were hiding in the bushes..watching the dude with the broken gate skits it and..then we saw the dude with the knife.

I played just a championship race on 50CC, which was a bit slow, but its 50CC.
Weapons are used with X and Y, and the second player can attack without an item too!

Halloween is over for me and it's only 9 o'clock.  The kids are tired out and I'm sitting here with 2 of those pumpkin shaped candy buckets filled to the top with candy.  It was raining most of the day here and is really cold tonight.  We were just about the only ones out.  Many of the people we saw thought no one was coming so they gave the kids extra candy.  

*eats 6 Hershey bars*

Yay!  Room for more!

You know, Halloween goes against everything that the whole world is trying to do, and that is stop kids from becoming fat turds whose only hobby is sit on their arses playing games all day and typing this post on the Aussie thr........ -________-.........I meant eating fatty substances

ANYWAY!!!!

What would happen if the President, or even worse, Joe Lieberman, tried to BAN Halloween? For example, the arguement would be that they are trying to encourage kids to eat healthy and live active lives, instead of stuffing their faces full a sack of candy that can turn an entire nation of Australians into hyperactive, screaming lunatics (as if there aren't any already - take Piac, Infernal, and John Howard for example ).

What would you say, in the name of a national tradition?

I would say 'meh'. We've lived without it, and we still can We've got the Queen's Birthday, and (if you're lucky enough to live in Melbourne - like AiAi, grrrr) the Melbourne Cup for Public Holidays.
I find it weird though cause the more celebrated out of those two days is the Melbourne Cup, and it's a HORSE RACE! It's the Queen's Birthday for cryin out loud! Shouldn't we be having national parades to show our appreciation of some oldie who owns more blocks of land than the Earth allows?
Hahaha. That shows ya how much we love England don't it

By the way, my bets are on Distinctly Secret

Oh! And speaking of blocks of land, Melbourne, and Earth , did you know that there is a Realty office in Melbourne that is currently selling blocks of land on the moon? They're going for a low low price of only 50 bucks or something for a hundred or so acres! I think! I heard it on the radio last week!

*Sums last 40 jabillion posts up that I've missed in a single post*
Woah, Bill! You know about I My Me, Strawberry Eggs? =D
I love that series, so much so. I got it on pirated DVD with bad English subs. Heh. Ending made me put on the sad pants though. Ummm... *Didn't actually read all previous posts*
Woah, PIAC monitor plus Mega Drive get! Have fun with all those awesome games. Garfield + Street Racer = Good pants. No SoR worky? Try cleaning it with a cotton bud, one end wet, one dry (to dry the chip after you've wiped it with the wet side =o). That's worked for me everytime when it comes to bad Master System/Mega Drive games. *HELLO PULSEMAN*

Umm... *Eats a wheelbarrow for no real reason, just for laughs. Crappy program. Just like that Bloopers show with Dick Clark. GO AWAY DICK.*

There's a cool interview on the DVD, and apparently they considered making it into one big feature length film first, then bringing on the series. With they did that. ;__;

I'm 19, rarely spammed up until I came to this thread, and i'm somewhere between 300 and 350 posts on the board.
SPAM is fun and all, but I DO have better things to do.
But it has little to do with numbers. Its to do with how long you've been here, and the people above/below you in terms of time.

Post count has almost nothing to do with status.  It is how long you been here, who you know and who knows you.  Ya I don't post very often (303 posts as of this one), been here since the EZ-Board, but I post when I have something to say or to provide some type of media like game commercials for everyone to see.  Oh ya, I am 23.

Pissing people off in real life, one way or another, doesn't get you friends.
Tis the same here.
Being anomynous helps, but if you piss people off and STILL hang around waiting for people to like you, then that is soooooo.........*words cannot describe*

You must be nice, or insane like some piacs and infernals here, and have that little hint of a sense of humour.
You must have class, you must have prestige, you must be a gamer.
Above all you must be a Nintendo gamer.

A pick of any of the above personalities and you will be accepted into The Termin8 Gentleman's Club in no time!

Hey, can somebody make it the 14th already? Please?
Oh yeah. Hudson Soft are my heroes. I only just learned of their new SSBM clone today. Holy crap, Bomerman AND Optimus Prime in the SAME GAME? Plus Bloody Roar characters and the chance to beat the crap out of Master Higgins? Yes please.

Rockstar have thrown the Max Payne 2 Theme onto their site, too. It's pretty depressing... But.. Yeah. =o

I wish I could make it the 14. By then it will be the Friday after I turn 17. That means Matrix and/or Kill Bill without having to sneak past the guards. Um...what's this new Hudson game of which you speak. Never heard of it.

I really didn't like FFX. Environments were way too limited for my liking. X-2 looks okay-ish. Alot more action and fan service. Prepare for some pretty dreadful music, though. The opening theme is very touching.. Then it slides downhill into a demented casino sounding disaster.

None of you made me mad.  I'm not saying because it was for a really stupid reason. ;___;  I'll get over it in a few days.  Besides the culprit could do me harm...


Thanks KN, blue care bear, goes well with lion care bear.

*eye twitch*
Don't mean to offend, but I hate carebears.  I mean, I can't even pretend to like them jokingly, that's how much I hate them.  I gag when I see them, and then vomit blood.  And food chunks.
But if you like them. . . *eye twitch*. . . yeah, that's fine.

buying a knife to first stick up your arse and then repeatedly ram it into your eye untill you either die or pass out from bloodloss is more fun than billy hatcher, thats my advice for YOU ALONE!

for everyone else, its a platformer, its original, its sonic team, it has awsome music, its sonic team, its got an area called pirate island, its got eggs, its sonic team, go buy it

Hey joey, if you haven't seen Revolutions, then your comments are not valid

See it. IT will totally blow your mind. It is a war movie without the war genre. It is Helm's Deep and the Clone Wars times infinity. After seeing Revolutions, I have no idea how the battle in Return of the King is going to impress me at all. I know it will, but not like how Revolutions did.

But the TV said!
'We said meh'
"M. E. H... Meh"

Arrr... Saw Billy Hatcher today. I want it. ;__;
Then I saw Rogue Leader. I don't want it. *FACE*
Then I started thinking about Double Dash, and I have a feeling it'll take a massive chunk out of memory cards. 64's Ghost Data alone took like, 3/4 of an N64 card. Plus it had battery back-up..  Boo. *WAITS AND SEES WITH EYE*

I'll go see Revolutions soon. I was sold on it after I saw the trailer at the end of Reloaded.
I also got to see a couple of trailers since then, but I'll wait until after exams. Sounds like it makes up for Reloaded and then some!

Really? *slaps Termin8* I saw a trailer for this also and its got me mega-hyped. Not as much as Revolutions *insert Neo vs Smith fight in pouring rain*

A day away from PGC is like a day without Corn Pops.  Gotta have my pops.

No really, I have some sorta dependence on PGC.  This is what drugs must be like.  Or not.

Well, I made it to my 4 day weekend.  I excpect heavy room-cleaning, a small amount of basketball on saturday, 100% chance of PGC, and experts expect videogames to come in around Sunday thru Tuesday.

Infernal Monkey, I just wanted to say that 2 months ago I wouldn't have understood your comic "Product Placement Gone Wrong" but I have a teacher who was raised in Australia (she is awesome ) She brought us some Minties (which you can ONLY get in Australia apparently) and showed us this game that you Aussies play. You tear the wrappers in a spiral and whoever has the longest one wins. I came in second. Or maybe third. I have a bad memory. Anyways that was really fun, and I'm glad your comics now come in twos. Ok, I'm done.

Even if I don't think it's the best, I almost always accept avatars from somebody else.

Once I watch a few more episodes of Scrapped Princess I might get one for that, but right now I've only watched episode one.  I'll watch 2 tonight prolly.

EDIT:  Actually, for some reason this avatar seems to "go."  I don't know why.  I guess it's better than I thought.

It'd help if Bowser wasn't a damn human, too.
I couldn't help myself, I started playing Mario and Luigi. IT KICKS ASS. I mean.. Holy crap, it's BRILLIANT. When the hell is this coming out? Is it out? The ROM is in English. I WANT TO OWN THE GAME RIGHT NOW. It's made me actually laugh out loud many times. SUPER GOOD GAME. WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS THE JOY THIS GAME BRINGS. So I'll make up a word "SHALBANGO"

Yeah!
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: KnowsNothing on November 08, 2003, 04:55:19 PM
Shalbango shall now be implemented into my everyday speech along with your word "shabadoo"

Yes, these words should be part of the English language.

BUPBOW - 'buh-bow' - something not good.
SHABADOO - 'shah-ba-doo' - exclamation of joy
BIGGITY-BAM - as above
WANG - if I need to tell you what this is, you are a n00b.

"THAT'S A GOOD PRICE FOR NUTMEG" - indicates great value for something.

Anything else?

And its still set for a Friday release. Oh well. I have exams and assignments due so it won't get played until after that's all out of the way. But I'll get it, and when I play it, man, *dies*

We not all "prepubescent american boys" joeyjojo .  Ripe old age of 23 here.  I could possibly pass for an Aussie, well except for the complete lackthereof or paltry attempt of an accent.  On a side note, I got to play Mario Kart today at an in-store kiosk .  Also watched the new 1080 Avalanche video, and Final Fantasy: Chrystal Chronicles movie which we have all seen before.  I have linked to a new 1080 movie in the Gamecube section.   I listened/watched it for about 2-3 hours straight, and I don't even really like rock or punk music.  It is just that cool.

My EB have only got 10 pre orders so far for mario kart so that really does show how much people know about it in australia
And I was contradicting you. Your local EB is not the be-all and end-all. The fact is, that some people do know of its existence, despite the apathy given by NOAus to their releases and advertising, and it will sell. Trust me. Word of mouth spreads quicker and further than any tv commerical can *points to Goldeneye*

=O, Nitsu has Zelda disc! Sound issues! Disc! GameCube! Yelling! Does it contain any erm, bonus stuff? History? Or is it just plain vanilla games? Mmmm... Vanilla. *PIAC comes running in with Vanilla Ice MP3's* Yay! =o

NO MARIO KART FOR ME TODAY. Dude said there was no possible way they could break the street date. Boo. Then he finally offered me a $10 steering wheel, to which I said "NAH". And hung up, because talking on mobile phones is the most annoying thing in the world.

INTERESTING:
Went in K-Mart today, and noticed lots of games for $39.95. Beach Spikers, Godzilla, Dead to Rights, Def Jam, Die Hard, Whirl Tour (wets pants with excitement), Umm.. Some Dirtbike Game (NOTE: TITLE MAY BE FALSE AT TIME OF TYPING), Monkey Ball and Sonic Adventure 2. They're all published by GameNation. I'm thinking they're reduced because GameNatio recently mutated into Atari, and they want to get rid of old stock. Or something. Check your K-Mart's or something... OR DON'T! WOAH! WHOA!

Oh yeah, also got a McCrappy Meal today for a Sonic toy.

No, I haven't played MM on the GCN yet.  I have been playing Zelda 1 and 2 right now.  I'm not sure exactly what sounds are off, but the manual says it is because of taking the N64 original to the GCN.  I guess they didn't give Majora's Mask the same treatment they gave Ocarina of Time, because the manual didn't have any notice in the OoT section.

As to what joeyjojo said, then I must be the occasional transvestite.  But I'm not one of the kind of people to be offended by joeyjojo.  I was one of the original American's to post here in the very beginning, look for my rabid posts on page 1.  Then I posted here when I don't think any other non-Aussies posted here.    I started a trend.  BLAME ME!!!

there is a video of Wind Waker
there is a 20 minute demo of Wind Waker
there is Zelda, Zelda II, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

There may very well be extras that can be unlocked, but I was never good at finding stuff like that, also I haven't looked for any.  Maybe tomorrow I will peruse the disk in search of extras.

any word on the BBA infernal? if that word is either no or banana then i think i shall email Nintendo and see what the deal is, it will go something along the lines of, yo homer wheres the beef? and they will reply Mario thanks you for emailing him but this is actually a computer generated response and this particular computer happens to like pie. At that stage i'll probably have hung up the phone... the phone i was emailing from..

Joey:  I hope you realize I was just kidding.  You had a picture of yourself posted at one time (I thought) and you appeared to be in really good shape.  It's just when I think of burly I think of big, tall, hairy lumberjack type guys.  

Infernal: Yes, chicks definitely go for guys buying Happy Meals.  Just show the nearest hot girl your Sonic game and she'll be yours.  I promise.  


akdaman and shifty:  Girls definitely dig a crying guy.  That's how they know you're the one they can manipulate, torture and eventually discard broken hearted.

AURGH! MY COCCYX! Not that I've ever seen a kangaroo in a tree, let alone falling out of a tree. Meh.

Twice? One swift kick to the balls is enough to drop just about any guy. How she gets a second kick in is beyond me...
But can you blame her?

Maybe he meant on 2 different occasions.

But another question is..Why are you lunging out and grabbing a girl you like?

I like making girls laugh.  And I tend to have very easily suppressed sexual feelings.  I never cry, though.

I never buy Happy Meals, but I did steal one of those Sonic games (Tails's) from a little kid and gave it to my friend, who is a Sonic fan.  Yup, that's what friends are for.

My friend bought a PS2 today. And i was so tempted to scream out ARRRRGH! PS2 SUCKS GET A F**KING GAMECUBE!
But I didn't. Oh well. I at least had some consolation when we got back to his place and he realised after putting in The Getaway that he forgot to buy a memory card. Hahahaha.

We had a debate over why PS2/GC was better than the other. He's like PS2 has more realistic games cause the PS2 has better graphics, and that it has games like Gran Turismo. He goes that Nintendo has all kiddy (I f**king hate that word) games, like Mario and that 'stupid' Monkey Ball.
But yet, ever time he comes to my house, all he wants to play is Mario Kart (on N64) and Super Monkey Ball, so I'm like WTF? I am the only person he knows with a GC that actually enjoys it, and doesn't also have a PS2.
Most PS2 owners are such stubborn bitches.

If I felt like spending 58 dollars for the Japanese import (not including shipping ) I could have it by the end of this week.  But why get the Japanese import when I am not planning on getting the NA version when it comes out.  Not that I don't want it, but I have a butt load of games coming to me around the same time already I can't afford to play anymore.  Also I can't afford to get it because I need to do some more Christmas shopping.

Guys that seriously hit on girls piss me off.  For some reason, I have this strange feeling of dedication to girls, especially the ones I've grown up with, and I feel like I should protect them to the best of my ability.

Plus it'd just be plain fun to get in a fight.  I've been itching for one for years, but I'm too laid back to ever get in one.

Man, I went to a basketball game yesterday (Sydkey Kings won 90 against the Cairns Taipans 69, in case you were wondering ), and guess who one of the cheerleaders was?
One girl from my old school! Everytime the Kings scored, she would get up and dance her little hod bod around, and i was like *Droooooooooool*
I knew she was also a cheerleader for the Bulldogs (in the NRL), but I had never seen her in action. A few calls to her at the end of the game, and we were catching up on old times, even though I hadn't seen her in like 4 years. I can't wait to go there next week. Hopefully I can get some 'more' . Oh Carly.....




Fine.
I DIDN'T talk to her.
My friend had these all-season tickets, for the FRONT row, and she was right in front of us. When the game was over, the cheerleaders walked back to the change room, and when I called her, she only smiled. VERY sexily though.....We didn't talk.....

Hey people, long time no see. (I DO consider almost two days away from the net a very long time )
Life's been f*cking me over big time the past two days, I have a fancy cold, my ISP is once again eating itself (took 23 attempts to connect, I counted ), and I've just generally been very pissed off due to countless other things. Which doesn't happen often.

PLUS, I headed into EB today to see some idiot talking to some other idiot who was working there, the cool pro-Nintendo guy wasn't in. Boo. I was hoping they'd be selling Mario Kart, considering it's only a day away. The guy goes "Hahaha, Mario Kart, what are you, two?" and his idiot friend laughed. I told them to f*ck off in a very aggressive way and walked out. Some Mum was mumbling something at me, how dare I share my feelings in front of her mentally challenged ten year old. Tsk, tsk. I wanted to tell her to f*ck off too, but I didn't. How nice of me.

Oh yeah, Mario. Don't bother with K-Mart. They won't stock MK till Saturday. Seriously. They would never put it on the shelves during their 15% off sale. Good luck if you get it somewhere else, and to anybody else who manages to get it today/tonight (it's late night shopping tonight, remember. Some stores might be cool ).
.. Do you really have it Akdaman?

i would have gone off my nut at that guy, having just read fran's review of the game, then i would have met the security guys, all in all I hope my pro nintendo guy is at EB tomorrow, or i'll be forced to start a fight with the stupid xbawt xombie there, and pelt him with nintendo boxes for several hours.

MARIO KART TOMORROW!

Bah, tell those EB idiot heads i hate them! Say, "Mario hates you!!" next time you see them!

Heh, stupid Kmart, i remember ONCE they had a game early, SSBM, they had it ONE DAY before it came out, and ever since then i guess ive thought they would have every game a day early . I might try to get EB to pricematch if Gheymart wont sell it, ill just say to EB "well, i 'could' buy Mario Kart right here from you guys... oooorrrr, i could go down to Kmart and get it for $85! *wink wink nudge nudge*", no matter if Kmart actually have the game or not , then the EB guy will go "oh crap hes a smart one, TAKE THE GAME, TAKE THEM ALL!!!"

I have my day all planned out.

Well I couldn't exactly go down there and talk to her. The barriers and security guard who was also in front of us looked pretty imposing, so all I could do was talk from a few metres away.
I wanna get VIP seating next year (well, my friend can get it ). They serve drinks (with alcoholic bits!!!) and pringles and fruit and cheese! The fact that the cheerleaders are kicking up their skirts and wiggling their hips a mere 10 cm from your face has nothing to do with my reasons.

Yeah, why are the EBs filled with dopes?
They've got a newbie in my local EB at the moment, must be about 12. Man, I want that job. Stupid EBs not giving me work!!!

And I have DD.

EDIT: Ok. I've just played through the first two cups on 50cc. Random comments below:
~ There are lots of things happening on screen - items everywhere, mario-related baddies trying to get you, opponents trying to get you, takes a while to adjust, even at the front of the field.
~ Flower Cup has the coolest obstacle I've seen - moving tables on a cruise ship LMAO! And you can release a Chain Chomp somehow, because one flew by me after I passed it, chomping its way into a wall.
~ If bright and cheerful are not how you like your graphics, stay away.
~ You start out with three karts, and unlock more by winning golds in the championships. I want Wario's Pimp Mobile dammit!
~ Wario has the coolest special weapon - a bob-omb that diables you attacker for a short period if you get hit. Yoshi has a targeting egg that spits out various items on the track on impact. I played with Baby Mario as well but didn't find his unique item...

Overall, IGN was way off. I give it a 9.4, because I played way too much MK64 and the easy difficulties on DD are way too easy. I can't comment on multi because I have no friends at midnight for now.

MArio Kart Double Dash get!
I swore to myself that I wouldn't get it till next week, but my legs just walked by themselves, and my hand grabbed the keycard inside my wallet and i was like 'No! Hand, don't use the money form your bank account! You're wasting it! NOOO!' And my hand just gave the EB guy the card, he swiped it, and gave me my brand new copy of MK.
And here I am, at home, typing this post, reading the fat ass MK manual (look! there's the LAN setup at the back of it!!!), and I have no photo to show (like i usually do when i  get new games), and I haven't even played it yet!
Oh, and you guys know that steering wheel pre-order deal thingy? When i bought MK, the guy there said 'do you want a steering wheel for 10 bucks extra?' and i was like 'huh? thought you had to preorder to get it' and he goes 'yeah, but we have three leftover, do you want it?' and iwas like 'nah'.
Should I have taken it?
Either way, it's too late now

Is it pie?
I sent your thingy today, but I'm too cheap for special fast mail-a-matic (), just standard Air Mail. It should get there in about 4 weeks though. =D

Erm, yep. I got Double Dash. I discovered we had junk mail falling out of the letter box this morning. Browse? Y/N. I decide to browse. Oooh, Big W catalogue. They have MK: DD for $88! I took it into EB and they price matched. Seeing as I'd already paid the game off fully, it was pretty nifty getting handed $12 out of the cash register. >=)
Yay for cool EB guy! Oh yeah, other GC news a matic I learned via learning ways, Capcom Europe have thrown another 5000 copies of VJ at us! All YELLOW! Return of the King is already out on GC and Xbox. PS2 PAL version has been delayed a whole day for some obscure reason, and EB Parra have had no word at all about when they will get the BBA in. Erm.. =/

I really don't know how to feel about the game at the moment. No, I'm not blown away by it. Yet. The CPU still doesn't try to compete with itself (The same CPU racers will come 2nd and 3rd in every race, there's never a change), one view point, the jump is gone, powerslides are now very easy to pull off, which is kinda boring and erm, the music is bland and VERY MIDI-ish.

On a plus side, some of the tracks are freaking brilliant, and the sheer chaos on screen is hilarious at times. Baby Circuit or whatever it's called is one of the most boring tracks ever, (a simple oval), but it's littered with power ups. By the third lap, you have green shells zipping all over the place, bananas (and GIANT bananas) all over the track, and explosions every few seconds. Yay! And erm, the game is hard. Very hard. F-Zero GX type hard. On 150cc that is.

Oh yeah.. DONKEY KONG'S TRACK IS THE BEST THING EVER. The end.

Its true what he said..its hard..the tracks are better then the pre cessores and the specials add allot of startegy to the game..multiplayer is good but i like single player more..Baby park rules..its soooo chatic and i love it..
Title: RE: Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Termin8Anakin on November 13, 2003, 07:28:41 PM
yeah, i'm not too blown away by the game either.
But if you have a chance to play multiplayer, then do so. NOW.
It is more worthwhile than MK64.
Multiplayer in MKDD saved it by a mile. And in some cases, I'm actually leaning toward AGREEING with Fran's review at IGNCube.
Shine Theif is all I've played, and I've played that more than single player. I already have all gold trophies on 50cc and 100cc.

I haven't tried 150cc yet, but if 100cc is anything to go by, it will be more chaotic and fast-pace. DK Mountain is CARAYZEE! Baby Park is only cool cause of the absolute mayhem that goes on with countless bananas, shells and fake item boxes.
And that two player on one kart thing is actually pretty cool. Me and my sister aren't just sitting there like zombies racing each other.
We're like 'ok, you wanna swap? Ok, 1, 2, 3, NOW! Press Z! You didn't press Z! PRess it now!' and for the double dash it's like 'NOW! Aww no!' 'I wanna use my weapon now!'
It really is co-op play.

MARIO KART DAHBUL DASH! *waves arms around like spaz* 50 CC is very slow, perhaps i should have chosen 150CC, either way i've fallen strait into the drivers seat i shall play some more and vomit my impressions on the forum like yoshi vomiting juice onto delphino isle residents, watery and coloured.

oh and infernal, you quit IRC like 2 minutes before i got home from work, nice timing

MARIO KART DOUBLE DASH GET! :!

This game is AWESOME. First i was like "omg this is lame ign overrated it olol where did my hat go!?!", then.. i dunno, i went all of a sudden, and fell in love with the game! Took me a while to get used to, yay this game rocks! Its INSANE! Huge spiky shells, bananas, AND MORE SHELLS and other STUFF everywhere! Yes, this game has lots of STUFF! YEAH! Got it for $82 at Kmart, it was funny cos like, 5 of us each grabbed a copy and YEAH you get the point, right fellas?! RIGHT. Am i making sense? Well to be honest, i like Donkey Kongs and Yoshis tracks the best so far! And battle mode 4 player is really fun! and! and! YAY! The graphics are tops! The game has lots of Mario Sunshine-ish stuff, which gets a from me! *hums freaking catchy whistling tune*

Hey! THERES my hat! *puts wavebird on head like a dickhead*

Oh! And they finally changed the little paper thingy in the game boxes ! Now it has Fzero, AC, SC2, Mario Kart and Mario Party 5! And a neat SMB3..... THING!

Sounds cool.  I believe it comes out here on the 19th, about. . . probably play it over the Thanksgiving holidays, when family and I are in Florida.  That's what I did with Metroid, and is the only reason I finished it.  It's a great game, my television is just too dark, though, and I can't see jack in the game.  So I was blessed to have a week of brightness.

it's not that complicated

8 point hub - $70-$90 dollars
cable (depending on length) - $10 for 10 metres (roughly)
BBA (my guess) - $70

see, not that much of an expence, also ask some PC gaming friends and they will prolly lend you a hub/cable etc.

I use the biggest TV to play my games (in the manual, they say play on the smallest TV in the house - HAHAHA!), and I can just bring the small TV from downstairs up if i wanna have multiplayer. But it's a really old one and you'd need the RF adapter thing.

And I've been having seirous trouble trying to log on to the forums. Every time I try, an IE illegal operation message pops up.
Dunno if its the forums or PGC, but it's bloody annoying.

Do you wonder why you are copping the flak? Stop posting like its an IM conversation. Take the time to add some PUNCTUATION or CASE to your posts, and then people might take you more seriously.

Sarcasm is sweet, but being a true smartass is sweeterist.

It's alright by me.  But I'm not an Aussie, just a plain of American boy.  So what I say doesn't have the same weight around, as it may somewhere, anywhere else.

No offense, but you will probably want to beef up your posts a little, because you already know what the reaction is/can be, when you just seem to come and go with short messages. Again, don't take offense.

Yes, and I'm sure the American Aussie Thread regulars are thrilled that you've destroyed a secret in MK: DD!!. We have spoiler tags, please use them in the future. Oh yes, I'd be more than happy to offer you a new avatar, Cheers. I'm sorry, but your Link avatar is pure garbage.

And if not used the spoiler tags, at least marked it with some astericks before han so we could scroll past it without reading.   That right there is a noob move if I ever saw one.

You didn't get both times you mentioned it, but at least got one of them.  Ya, about half of the active people in here are from Australia, but that doesn't mean they have spent the same amout of time with the game you have, like PIAC.  RAbicle started this for Aussies to have a place where you could talk about stuff going on there and what not, not as an exclusive club.  The rules still apply here like in everyother area of the forums.

guys, guys, GUYS... GUESS WHAT!?!?! mario kart has....you guessed it! MIRROR MODE!!!

how is that a spoiler? uhhh, you DO realise almost EVERY racing game has a mirror mode?
mario kart 64 was no exception, so i dont think there was ever doubt that the next mario kart would have it aswell. yeah yeah, some people might not expect it... BUT ITS MIRROR MODE! mirror mode is a pretty lame "secret"! if anything, mario kart having a mirror mode should be kept under wraps for the sake of bettering its reputation! SHEESH.

i doubt u have done it 100%, so your telling me u have beaten all the time trial stuff? i wont say wat because ill get in trouble
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: akdaman1 on November 18, 2003, 07:00:14 PM
If you people all think Mirror mode is a spoiler then ....wont say it..but....

Anyway , Cheers69 I dont think Timetrials as part of a game but more of a mini game , What I meant by 100% is Gran Prix ( hopes didnt let out spoiler by letting ppl know that there is a grand prix mode in the game ) .

P.S..Am I/We allowed to make a Timetrial thread , cause some stages are spoilers and we dont wanna spoil it for people on the Mk DD thread? Bloodworth ?

P.S.S Get off cheers back he is asking bout MK DD , so is everyone else ..
Title: RE:Official Australian PGC visitors disscussion
Post by: Mario on November 18, 2003, 07:14:47 PM
Is cheers69 a joke account set up by somebody here? Seriously?

And yeah, theres a minor problem with us posting our time trial times. Here's an example, "Baby Park - 3 seconds, Mario Circuit - 40 seconds (lol) ", you can make up anything. But heh, it could work, i guess, at least i think im guessing, i think, or not. Meh.

i did baby park in 23 hours, yoshi's track in -0.00000001 seconds, unique times all round. screenshots would have to be used to validify scores, also i doubt bloodworth reads this thread unless someone report's a post.

i'll get off cheers' back when he posts something worthwhile, and posts something that doesn't read like it is written by a retarded 14 year old AOL using monkey.

Post by: blackfootsteps on November 19, 2003, 12:08:14 AM
I won't even mention my baby park times!

But... I do have a quirky little game me and my bro invented. Play 2-player co-op on grand prix mode. It's pretty simple really, the player in the back of the kart has the job of trying to stuff up the front player as much as possible using the L / R side dash move. For best results try using it next to banana's, bombs, little annoying duck creatures, shells, goombas, trucks etc.

You take it in turns and see who can do the best! Really good fun on Wario Colosseum, Rainbow Road, Baby Park, DK Mountain.

Hopefully you give it a go, we had a blast!!!

Yeah, laugh really hard or you'll hurt his feelings and then he'll come to your house and take all your pie and pudding.

Just played Mario Kart DD on LAN, it takes about 50 secs to establish a link and your off and going. It's random characters so that makes it hell fun when someone else gets a bad kart and split screen over LAN ran fine no problems at all.

Mario Kart: DD sounds boring over LAN. Give me split screen anyday. I can WIN by passing gas. It's brilliant.

I would like to thank my family for all their support, my friends for all their unlimited supplies of KFC Gravy and Chocolate Mousse, and of course, the Aussie Gang, for making this all possible.
It wasn't easy, but we made it!
Hooray! And like Shifty said, a feast of nachos and and cheese is in order!

Kinda sad actually

And LAN play will never replace the mayhem of controller unpluggings and surprise beatings that myself and friends did, originating in the N64 days. Man we were sore losers back then!

I had a friend go see it, and he said it wasn't...Though I really have no idea what what would scare you...Personally, hack-n-slash movies don't scare me at all...The psychological stuff is what gets me...

Oh, Mario, that was very um... harsh? Funny?  I don't know.

What's up with the aussie avatars?

As for horror movies, almost 100% of them don't do anything but entertain me, but don't scare me.

GCN sales in Australia are up 65%

Gather round wee ones, and I'll tell ye a story. A magical story, about the invaders and the resistance, that stretches way back to the dawn of this forum.
Originally, this thread was our own little place, for us Australian Nintendoists to chat, bitch and gloat - the same as anyone else. However, this thread was because the Australians only really understood what had been happened. Hell, NOAus doesn't know what's happening here half the time.
So, the small troop of Aussies continued to post, discuss and rant, and as time went by, others joined in our bad humour and the thread grew.

Now, this thread is beyond our control. Tis sad, I know. But the ugly head of spam has reared its head, and we do not have the hit points or magic weaponry to fight it.
This thread will live on, unless the moderators decide to lock it, but us original Aussies do not like the thread anymore, mostly because it does not serve its purpose.

The avatar is just a way of identifying that group, without the need for elitist threads like the Aussie thread.

Mario, why are you so mean to me, ever since ive joined youve been a jerk to me, what have i ever done to you?



Ah, what can you do.

I did not appreciate that at all.

It's quiet annoying when I go to read these forums about Gamecube happenings in Australia I read absolute random crap down the page. What is wrong with you people?

Swordsplay You're complaining about being attacked for spamming the board and bragging about some abstract post count.  If you can't even say something vaguely relevant to the discussion, don't expect me to defend you.

MarioDespite your frustration, that pic was too much.  Even if someone's being childish, you don't have the right to be a complete jerk.

Everyone I think it's time to lay this thread down and start anew.

Why don't the pure-breed Aussies and us adopted Assusies (as I am one of the originals, I think) just take it back.  I think Mario has been trying to for a while, at least he gives me the impression that he has been, brings to mind the picture he has a few post above.

I post in this thread because it is an extension that allows me to converse with Shifty, Mario, Termin8, and Infernal, and JoeyJoJo, when I don't sign in to talk with you otherwise.  Also Berto.  If you are on my list, and you know you are if I chatted with you before, then this thread is just another avenue to reach you.
