General Chat / My Story

« on: June 16, 2003, 08:26:47 PM »

I'm bored so I feel like writing a story...tell me what you think haha.

"Its been sixteen years since I have seen the blue sky. Sixteen years since I have breathed fresh air, since I have eaten a real meal, since I actually enjoyed life. Sixteen years..." Is what I say to myself everyday. Every single day until it is seventeen years. I can't take it anymore. I have not had human contact in forever. I long to know where my family is, and what my children look like. I long to see my hometown. The place where I grew up. You have no idea what I am speaking of, but let me take you back....

1816 Rome

"Icarus! My family said we can get married!" Were the words I heard filling the air. Her voice sounded like the sweetest song. "Its ok! We can finally live our lives!" My heart was filled with joy. The woman I had loved all of my life, Geneva, finally convinced her parents to marry a poor sailor like me. I was no good for her I knew it deep down in side, but she made me happy and that was all I had cared about. "Excellent, we shall get started on our marriage plans tomorrow, lets get married and move away from this pityful town, away from it all!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Her eyes looked deep into mine and she said "I love you". I did not reply. I never did. I always just smiled, why couldnt I just say I loved her? No, there has to be a reason, but why? I never let her know how I felt. Three months later we were married. Happily. Yet I could not bring myself to love this woman. The month was April. My brother was coming from Italy to visit us. Me and my brother have had our good times, and bad times, but mostly good times.

My brother Zach arrived at the door wearing the haziest green colored suit I have ever seen. "Zach!" I yelled as I hugged my flesh. My blood. He entered my house and the second he did he saw my wife. I looked at Geneva, she was fixated on him. I thought nothing and introduded them. "Hello Zach, I am Icarus' wife, Geneva" She said as she gently kissed him on the lips. He put his arm around her and walked into the dining room. I followed like a puppy looking for its mother. "Wow Icarus such a lovely home and wife? How do you do it eh?" Said my brother. "I work as hard..." I was inturupted by Geneva. "Icarus weren't you supposed to go pick up a letter from your captain? It comes today!" I remembered. This could be the happiest day from my life. I could receive my captains papers. "I will go without haste!" I said as I ran out the door.

I did not think of anything but my captains papers as I left my house. Nothing at all. "Have you gotten the preparations ready?" Geneva said. "Yes the boat leaves tonight, you will be free of this filth." Said Zach. The two went upstairs into the bedroom. "I'm home!" I scream as I enter my house. I can see nobody. I run up the stairs with my unopened letter and burst through the door. And what do I see. My brother. My flesh, my blood. Ontop of my wife. My letter drops to the ground, along with my heart. The look in Geneva's eyes, were filled with deception. The look in my brothers eyes, so filled with sorrow. "Take him" said Zach calmly. I look around in question, and I am soon grabbed by four guards. I do not take my eyes off Geneva as I am escorted out of my bedroom, my house, and off of my property.

The guards slam me into a cage and throw me into the back of a wagon. In the back of the wagon there is a pistol, just out of my reach. I thought to myself, what do I have to live for? I have nothing. But I will soon realize why. What seemed like years later I was taken out of my cage, and thrown in a prison cell. Three guardsmen came in, with clubs and shackles in their hands. I was handcuffed by my ankles to the roof and beaten on my back with a club. Striking over and over, the masked man said "How does this feel?". Each blow repeating the same statement. I was screaming and crying. I yelled "What is my crime?!" Before anyone could answer, a blow was struck to my head.

"Icarus...." "Icarus....." "It will be your time soon, our prophet is dying...fear not the light will guide you...look foward not back....do not remember your past....the blows from these men are nothing they will endure they're suffering in eternal hellfire....."

A flash appeared before my eyes, and I woke up. What were those words? Am I mad? Crazy? Insane? No. Cant be. Never. I fell asleep that night..thinking. I woke up the next morning and ate my breakfast. A cup of  water, and grains of rice. I asked for more food, I thought this was a joke. The guardsman came in and smacked me across the face with a chain wrapped around his fist. I was a bloody mess. I laid there on the dirty hard floor for hours on end. Hours doing nothing but staring at a wall. When suddenly "Icarus...." "It is your time....this is your sacrafice...you shall endure pain, but what you will give it will be worth more...it is your time now wait your turn...I will return when you are ready.....

So what do ya think? Yeah I can tell it sucks and is lame but just want to hear some views..

« on: June 16, 2003, 07:57:41 PM »

I have burned countless cd's for many reasons. 1. I could careless how much money record lables/artists receive. All they do is sing and get MILLIONS of dollars just for singing a song. I mean theres people that bust their balls day in and day out, work from 7am to 11pm, put their lives on the line for a measly little salary, and these artists have millions, live in a nice house and drive nice cars, and complain they lose maybe $50,000 on some cd's. Big damn deal.

As for software...I have dled some programs off my favorite P2P client. Ahead Nero, Bryce5, Photoshop to name a few. Not all of us have the money to spend $300 on a program when a newer program will be released few months/years later. I tried burning XP, didnt work for me but maybe I'll try again. Windows 2000 cant handle anything.

Why arent I "sposed" to be here. Ya PIAC I do hae shallow minded friends with image problems. But still I would feel a little weird...I just like my room how I have it I guess. Heres an overlay:



Wall 1 Slim wall with a Pamela Anderson and Jenna Jameson poster on it
Wall2 My computer is between wall 1&2 with a 2pac and Sopranos poster above and to the side
Underneath my Sopranos poster is my guitar.
Wall3 Is my big Led Zeppelin poster. Below that is my 20" TV with PS2, Dvd player (not ps2 dvd player)sterio, and NES (other consoles put away). Then theres my bed surrounded by 2 windows.
Wall 4 has my dresser to the left, then my big comfy blue couch directly across from the TV.

If I can find my digital camera I'll take some pictures...I have no idea where it went.

Nintendo Gaming / "Game Boy is for 10-year-olds..."

« on: June 16, 2003, 07:48:40 PM »

Ah, my mistake AgentSeven. When I said you had the mind of a 5 year old, I should have put 3 year old. Let me break it down AGAIN because you just can seem to UNDERSTAND anything at all.

Quote
I have proven everything that I have previously stated. Plus I backed them up with SOLID FACTS. Your the only one here who has a problem with the TRUTH.

What have you proved? You dont like Sony? Wow...you haven't backed up anything with "SOLID FACTS", and what "TRUTH" are you talking about? 3 Year old kids cant seem to make sense

Quote
Also I didn't have to resort to childish flaming, or lies, like yourself. Need I quote some of your other threads? Oh wait, I already proved you were a liar earlier in this topic.

I didnt flame (whatever that is) or lie, everything I said was truthfull and please quote some of my other threads, I back them up 100%.

Quote
sony may be number #1, but they don't make the most money on systems or games, Nintendo does. Plus Nintendo fans buy more games per system.

You know nothing. Absolutly nothing. Sony makes more money the Nintendo PERIOD. Sony doesnt just make consoles ya know. See, theres this thing called a TELEVISION you might have one since you own a GameCube. Anyway Sony makes those, along with high quality speakers, sterios, computers, and tons of electronics. They dont make money off games since they dont develop their own, but they do make tons off the system, and by being #1 in sales im pretty sure they make a hefty profit.

Quote
I've said it before, and I will say it again, no one takes better care of their systems than me. I still own my original Atari 2600, a system that is older than you are. Obviously, you never even read my thread. sony makes JUNK. Period.

Good for  your taking care of your system, the child is growin up! Good little boy, want some cookies and milk? I didnt read your thread because its full of nonsense. Your just another nintendo fanboy who needs to open his eyes and look around. If Sony makes junk, then Junk is #1, what would that make Nintendo?

Quote

I think your just angry because I have repeatedly made you look foolish. Pretty good for a person with a "5 year old mind." LMAO By the way, as a game collector, I have game systems that are older than you are, lol

Hehe this made me laugh (gotta love the intelligence of dumb people) You made me look foolish huh. Thats why you havent answered my questions and havent proved a solid fact yet. You have game systems older then me, wow, I have nickels and pennies older then you.

Your next post please post something worth reading, not your usual crap about how sony makes bad products because they dont. Each time you say that I just go to the truthfull fact about how they are #1 in sales and make you look even more stupid then you already are. Atleast make an attempt to prove me wrong, your doing a horrible job.

Dont spend your 15$ on tuna! Check your local GameStop as I did. I went with no money in my pockets (stupid idea) and they were practically GIVING away a Sega Genesis 3 model with Sonic 1+2 for just $15. My GameStop has a bunch of use N64 and Dreamcast systems. Its pretty rare for a SNES to pop up but once I get $40 I'm goin for it. I want something sexy next to my PS2 or above my sterio. IMO Genesis3 is sexier then the new SNES model...black all the way

« on: June 16, 2003, 03:59:29 PM »

Ok AgentSeven, your 5 year old mind cant handle certain concepts, so let me break it down for you EASY.

Quote
Also I'm whooping you "butt" with knowledge and FACTS, something you cant seem to handle, or even respond too.

You have yet to prove an actualy fact. In your opinion Sony sucks, who cares about your opinion? If Sony sucks so much, please explain how they are #1 in sales. Sony makes a crappy product? Why because your Sony systems broke? I suggest you take better care, my Sony electronics work perfectly fine and have been for years. So wheres the fact?

Quote
As for my links being b.s., I have HUNDREDS more. Are they all b.s. as well? All of these people can't be lying can they.

Once again you get FACT and OPINION confused. My Sony electronics serve me well, hence Sony makes a good product. Here maybe you will understand this, FACT - 1+1=2  Opinion - Oranges taste better then apples. See you can have an arguement over an opinion, not over a fact.

Quote
Again, sony makes the worst garbage on the market. Period. If you wan't me to provide more proof, just let me know, as I relish ANY oppotunity to spread the word on this evil corporation.

Worst garbage on the market, yet they are number 1 in sales hmm...

Quote
When sony entered the scene, I was really excited. In fact I even got a job with them just as the PSX was about to release. It was through working for them, and seeing their evil first hand, that I developed my hatred of this corrupt, greedy, money hungry corporation. They don't give a crap about quality, only money.

I really could careless if Sony only cared about preserving water, let alone money. They make a good console with great games that make me happy and provide me with tons of fun. Your OPINION is they are a corrupt,greedy,money hungry coporation, FACT is your describing Microsoft

So you see you have yet to prove a solid fact about Sony and you dont answer any of my questions, you just avoid them. If sony sucks so much why are they #1 in sales? Seriously I really want to know because Sony sucks right? They suck so much they are #1 in sales.

AgentSeven I'm not even going to argue with you. Your bringing me down to your level and whooping my @$$ with stupidity. Your comments make no sense. Your just Nintendo "fanboy" with the thought NINTENDO RULES SONY SUCKS THATS IT stuck in your head. Well answer me this, the PSX was #1 in sales, PS2 is #1 in sales, so why would the PSP be a complete failure? Because its made by Sony? Sony makes some of the best electronics around. And those links you provided are complete BS. EVERY console can break, if you take care of it properly it can last you a lifetime, and I can prove that with the NES I still have since I was 4.

General Chat / Sega Genesis VS Super Nintendo

« on: June 15, 2003, 07:43:02 PM »

The greatest console battle of all times were with these two consoles. Some of the best games ever were created, or started on one of these systems. Just a quick question, which of these had the better graphics? I need to add a 16 bit system to my arsenal of consoles. I love the SNES and had it forever, but they are hard to find...the RPGs and Zelda games are excellent. I never had a Genesis and wouldnt mind owning one. They are dirt cheap and run about $15 used at GameStop in pretty good condition.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: "Game Boy is for 10-year-olds..."

« on: June 15, 2003, 07:36:56 PM »

" Forgive me for saying this Blackfire, as I don't mean to flame, but truthfully you seem like an uninformed gamer. PSX and Ps2 are the most defective, faulty, poorly constructed game systems EVER MADE! Do your homework before you post."

I have not had any problems with my Sony systems, nor have my friends.

"By the way, didn't you used to be called "Nintendo Kid?" I though you just said that you got rid of your GC for a ps2? Yet in this post, you only mention owning a PSX. After reading your other posts, I must say, you lack credibility."

Apparently you can't read, I clearly said I gave my GC too my little sister so I can get a PS2, if you want to know every system I own, I own a Game Boy Pocket, PSX, NES, and PS2.

"As for the psp price, its common knowledge that the system will cost over $200 US. Also a case of you not doing your homework. Look around and you will find many sites with information that back up this fact."

Common knoweledge? So you just know the price is going to be $200, do you know that for a fact? Nope. Do you think Sony is going to release a handheld system for more then their gaming console sells for? Use your head.

"Finally, just by reading the specs for the machine and seeing the mini-disc that Ken kuturagi showed at E3, you know the psp can not be small. There's just no way. I bet this things bigger than a GameGear, and just as much of a failure, if not more so. As I said before, psp doesn't have a chance. "

And whys that? There are computer chips the size of a fingernail that can process billions of actions per second. Theres chips that can make blind people see, so why cant the system be small? Your not really stating any realistic facts, your opinion is PSP SUCKS AND THATS THAT. The PSP can suck of course, but it can also be good. As I have said before Sony has yet to meet failure.

Nintendo Gaming / Mega Man X Remake to GBA?

« on: June 15, 2003, 05:38:17 PM »

Do you think Capcom will release Mega Man X 1-3 for the GBA? Maybe even the ones that were on the PSX. I cant find a SNES at my local GameStop, but the next time I go I'm sure to get a Sega Genesis since I had a SNES at the time I want to pick up the old thing, and the games are dirt cheap, and easy to steal

Nintendo Gaming / "Game Boy is for 10-year-olds..."

« on: June 15, 2003, 04:16:39 PM »

Why would anyone want to go online with a portable gaming system (is that even possible?). No handheld competitor has come even close to beating the GB in sales, but times are changing and new hardware is developing. As cool as the WonderSwan and Neo Geo Pocket Color are, they were no match for the GB.

Now I am almost POSITIVE on this, the N-Gage is going to fail. Who wants to develop games for a crappy cell phone company? Who does Nokia even have on their side? This is their first console, what do they know about REAL gaming?

The PSP is going to have many devlopers on their side despite what anyone says. We all know for a fact most publishers that work for GB are going to publish titles for both systems, even though Nintendo will get the good exclusives like Zelda and Mario. Sony will most likely have a GTA game on the PSP guarenteed, it made the PS2 and it would be stupid if it wasnt on their handheld console.

Quote
psp doesn't have a chance. It's an over-priced, over-hyped, over-sized peice of electronic junk. Plus it's made by sony, the kings of faulty hardware. This thing uses an optical disc format, meaning that just like the PSX and the Ps2 before it, the system will probably start skipping and showing "disc read errors" soon after your warranty expires. Everyone who has owned a sony system, or knows someone who does, knows exactly what Im talking about.

Why wouldnt the PSP have a chance? Over priced? Do you know the official price? If so please tell me I'd love to know. Over hyped? Has there even been commercials and adds? Over sized? Have you seen it yet? If so I'd love to see a picture. Kings of faulty hardware huh? I've had my PSX for atleast 3 years and it still runs and looks new, even after its been thrown in backpacks slammed on the grown and lugged over to friends houses.

Quote
Plus, with all of sony's stranglegold exclusivity deals with their third parties coming to an end, I doubt that psp will have any unique games what soever. I can already see the psp lauch line-up, Crash Bandicoot 12, Gran Turismo 18, and so on. As far as shallow, overly hyped ultra violent games, Nintendo will have those as well. Rockstar games, the makers of GTA, has openly expressed their disgust over their dealings with sony. So it looks like GTA GC is on its way, with possible handheld versions to follow.

Sonys exclusive deals are coming to an end? What makes you so sure that the parties wont devlop exclusivly for the best selling console? I also highly doubt Nintendo will have any"overly hyped ultra violent games" If Rockstar is so disgusted with Sony then why do they continue to make other games such as Midnight Club? GTA isnt the only game you make ya know.


My point is nobody should be slamming on any consoles until we know facts (flaming of the N-gage is ok because its an accident waiting to happen). You have seen the Playstations success even when the N64 had better hardware, you see now the PS2 is the best selling console with many exclusive games, so what makes you so sure that the PSP is going to be gigantic failure?

Wow you just  have all the release dates and the names for the consoles dont ya? In simple terms its like this: N-Gage is going to suck, a big clunky machine that will gain no support from devolpers when they can publish for Nintendo or Sony. The PSP will give the GB a run for its money, and Nintendo is going to have competition for the first time.

KDR you make some good points, the battery life will probably be something like the Game Gear haha, nah I bet Sony will fix that look at all the time they have to release it, hell they dont even have to release it now, that can wait as long as they wont. GTA 1 and 2 are a joke, so is the GTA game on Dreamcast. Why wouldnt publishers want to publish for the PSP? I bet publishers will jump at the idea, they always do. All the factors you have said are probably in consideration, but I'd love to the battery life and how you save. I'd also love to know what this thing is going to look like, with all this hardware it sounds like a big clunky computer.
