Thanks Maxi!

I completely forgot that I created an account here. I didn't even enter in my correct age... maybe I'll fix that.

Perhaps I'll poast again in another three years.

Cheers!

Ooooh, I want it!
*checks wallet*
But I can't afford it! Wah!
I think I'm a company's worst nightmare, because I wait until a game is in a bargain bin before I buy it. So although I'd like to see the game sell well, if it bombs, it'll be in the bargain bin that much faster.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:The Official IWATATON Speech Thread

« on: September 15, 2005, 07:35:11 PM »

After much thought and reading of acticles, I have gone through many emotions after first laughing at the pictures. Excited, scared, bored, confident, angry, curious, happy, confused... Now I'm a mix of them all. And let me tell you, having eight emotions at once isn't a good feeling, especially when some of them are sort of contradicting. But I think I'll hold in my opinions on this controller until I get some more info on what games will be using its features.

.......sa-WEEET! I've got to say... I'm impressed! That's better than what I thought it'd be!
The only downside is now I can't wait to test this thing out.

General Chat / RE:Mario turns 20 years old!

« on: August 27, 2005, 08:24:25 AM »

I have a 64-in-1 cartridge. It has Super Mario, Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario Brothers - all the same. It's hard to believe that game is twenty years old. I still remember when I got it for Christmas 13 years ago. Seems like it was just last year. Anyone else remember when they first got theirs?

"I think we have a Jones employee in our midst."

Nope, just one crazy nut who loves Jones! And about the advertise thing, this is what it says on the back of each bottle:

"Ya gotta make a lining somehow; we chose the beverage world. Good old soda with a twist. No hidden meanings, no billion dollar ad campaigns. At Jones, we want you to buy a lot of soda and recycle the bottles. The labels are kinda like our minds - always changing. Run with the little guy... create some change."

I could recite it in my sleep! The cans don't have anything on them, they're pretty drab to look at, but the soda inside is so... so... *chugs a Barry Lemonade*

Jones doesn't advertise, so I'm sure there are a lot of people who haven't heard of it! Check your local convenient store or gas station; those types of stores usually carry it! *chugs green apple soda before clicking reply*

It's true! I went to Target to check it out! The twelve packs are so much cheaper than the four packs of bottles! I grabbed a Green Apple and a Berry Lemonade! DELICIOUS!!!

I'm still waiting for a Mario football game. Could you imagine that? I guess it might be too violent of a sport, but then again, Mario characters are in a fighting game. I wonder if a cross between Smash Bros. and football would work.

If you can find stores that are either going out of business or just getting rid of some of the books they couldn't sell, you can get them cheap. My sister bought a bunch of books this way for only 50 cents each.

Power-Up made GameInformer's Gear list. Maybe I'll check it out if it ever comes to my local library.

What's with all the card games being released lately? I'd rather spend a buck on a deck of cards and put down $10 for a pizza, to attract friends to come play cards. And I'm still waiting for a game where you play as a janitor. The mop is mightier than the sword.

I said IF I want to read a book, I'll buy an RPG. The last RPG I bought was Earthbound, and that was years ago. And I thought it was better than most comic books.

I thought Clifford was a cartoon?

If anyone here is planning on getting Doom III, I recommend getting the four Doom books instead.

How can you guys afford to buy books AND games? I've got nothing against books, but I can't afford both. If I want to read a book, I'll buy an RPG. They're kind of like books. Do you buy movies, too? I can't afford them either, so that's why I get movie-licensed games... just kidding. No one should be tortured like that.

"Power-Up is published by Brady Games and can be purchased at major book stores"

Right, because gamers go to book stores all the time.

« on: November 08, 2004, 05:59:56 AM »

PaLaDiN: I don't want to buy the DS yet because 1. It's too expensive and 2. It won't play Gameboy or Gameboy Color games.

The SP comes with a rechargible battery? SOLD! Now I won't need to spend so much money on batteries!

Anyways, getting back on topic, I'll check out the reader reviews so I can get more than just PGC's opinion (Not that they're not good reviewers). When I'm going to invest $50 in something, I like to get as much info as possible.

Thanks for the help. If I see any others, I'll just try to figure them out on my own. All I'd have to do is forget everything I know about common sense (Which isn't much).

One last question though: How do you get text to appear with that black bar over it so you have to highlight it to read it?

I wouldn't mind seeing reader reviews of the Game Boy Advance SP. I own the original GBA, and I'd be interested in hearing the opinions of people who own the original and the SP. Or can people only write reviews of games?

I didn't see L33t here, I saw it on the GameFAQs boards.
Here are some more terms:
Bump
Tier  (I saw this on GameFAQs' boards.)
Avatar
IMO
Rules  (Just kidding)

My dictionary discribes Avatar as the descent to Earth and incarnation of a diety. What does that have to do with this forum? It probaly means something else here, just like spam, but I don't know what.

Ok, so maybe intimidating wasn't the right word. But has anyone here seen the GameFAQs forums? They do have some smart people, but there are some people there who are just plain ignorant and/or mean.

Here are some terms I've seen recently:
Flame or Flaming
Troll or Trolling
L33t
n00b

I know there are more but I can't think of them right now (What's LoLleRZ?).

Hello again! I am back, after a month of being away! And now I will say something that adds nothing to this conversation! MEAT! It's spelled M-E-A-T! Why can't I remember that? And now, I will disappear! *poof*

Seriously though, this board is very intimidating. The people here are a lot smarter than I expected, after seeing what goes on over at the GameFAQs board. It seems like every time I have a comment on something, someone else has already expressed a similar thought. Oh well, fastest one wins, I guess.

And now, a question from an uneducated forum user. Please don't dislike me for asking this. Can someone point me in the direction of where I can learn the definition of the terms used here? Because that would help, thanks.

« on: September 28, 2004, 06:53:06 AM »

Do not mock the Nintendo 64. Saying you don't want the N64 because most games' titles end with 64 is like saying you don't want to use the bathroom because the toilet seat is pink. I still play the N64 on a regular basis, because it has the best multi-player games ever. By not buying one, you're only hurting yourself.
