Nintendo Gaming / November, what's it gonna be?

« on: July 08, 2003, 05:59:50 AM »

To me, the longer the better.  I was totally hyped about F:Zero GX one day, and the next day I wasn't,  Weird...  

MK:  DD and Mario Golf I wanted, but I was disappointed with MG when I played it at Walmart, and, well you know my story about MK.

Oh well, FF:CC is coming out in November, which is right near Christmas, and I'm only 13, soooooo.......

AT CHRISTMASMS, I GET THEM ALL!!!!!!!

Invader Zim is a great show, but as with alot of Nick classics (Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, Ahhhh Real Monsters)  they're not shown very much, but I'm starting to see them more often now.  But still, they're almost always constantly playing crap like Rugrats.

Anybody else know Futurama and Family Guy were back on the air during adult swim?  Why didn't you tell me?!  Huh!?!

General Chat / Anyone here play an instrument?

« on: July 03, 2003, 01:28:58 PM »

Yeah, braces are a pain for trombone.  Ever since I got braces, my embechure (i think i spelled that wrong, it's the way you position your mouth) is all wrong (so I could hit high notes) and now I can't get it back.  Whatever you do, just work on the high notes the way you normally would, don't change anything except way move the air faster and  defidently don't push your lips up against the mouthpiece.  The high notes will come.

Ha ha! Another trombone player!  I used to be more into it, but it started to get old (as you GCNMasterX did with trumpet) but my techer is one of the nicest men I've ever met.  I got a drumset for christmas and I'm teaching myself to play it, and I'm having alot of fun with it.  I'm also forming a band, White Man Group, and although we can't play and have never practiced yet, we have designed many CD covers and song names.  That's really themost important thing.  Our first album "An Electric Elk CAlled Simon" will never hit store shelves and there will only be one made in the entire world, which will later be destroyed or used for punishment of some sort at a correctional facility.

The only thing about MKD is that I already have it for the N64.  I know it has all these new features, like the second person and LAN play, but I would rather buy something totally new, and FF:CC has so many new things in it, mainly the connectivity, which I defidently won't get on the Playstation.

mouse-clicker, there are that many books in the series?  I wasn't aware...which means I haven't read them.  I've been looking for a good book and Speaker for the Dead might be it.  Thanks!

I'm all over FF:CC.  When me and my buds came over to play PSO we had a blast, even though the offline mode was kinda boring.  Plus, all we'd need to get is one more GC/GBA cable and we could have 4-player.  Plus, I'm a huge fan of RPG's.  The only thing is, I hate all FF games that I've played.  I own two for the Playstation, but the console is on my boat right now.  The reason I don't like them is becasue of the fighting.  Either completely turn-based, or completely real-time, not a strange mixture of both where yuo can't go to the bathroom when fighting, becasue the monsters will attack WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN!!!

FF:CC is completely in real-time, right?

It's got a few good things, like Leonarda da Vincci, king of hacking.  I'm not sure if the Afterburner thing is really hacking (it could've been a joke, but I fidured it wasn't since, well, i kinda made sense) because you're supposed to do it, and there's a kit.  If you tried to install a lighting solution to your GBA before the Aftervurner, that would be hacking.  

But what do I know?  (<-- seriously)

Actually, hacking isn't really bad.  It's just the way people hack that's bad.  "Hacking"or "Hacker" aren't derogatory terms, it's just that mean people (with no friends except for other mean people, all of whom have the popularity rate of a rutabaga) have given the word a bad meaning.  I learned all about hacking and what it is and other stuff like that over at techtv.com.  I just searched "hacking" in the little search doo-wah and clicked around.  

EDIT: If you do go to techtv.com, make sure to broaden your search to "anytime" or else you'll get alot of videogame doot.

General Chat / Good Books?

« on: July 02, 2003, 04:08:17 PM »

As said by mouseclicker, Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is among one of my favorites, as well as the compainion Ender's Shadow and the sequal Shadow of the Hegemon.  All quality titles.

It's summer right now, so books to expand my vocab are off my list.  So far, I've read all Dave Barry.  He's a humor columnest for the Miami Hereld who has written a few books.  I just read Dave Barry Does Japan and Dave Barry in Cyberspace, which were both really funny.  But i must warn you, his style gets old rather quickly and he has a tendency to repeat joke.  Well at least they're funny jokes.  Most of them anyway.

I don't know how old any of you really are, but I'm only thirteen so these books might be under your level (or above, who knows?) But I also enjoyed The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spygalss and by some author i can't think of right now.  Yeah, those were good.

As for anime, I tried to get into it, but I just couldn't.  Dragonball and Dragonball Z seemed like crap to me, and Transformers Armada was poopy.  The only one I started to like was, as mention earlier, Yu Yu Hakasho.  Some of the body designs are weird though.

uh.. Grey Ninja...Spirited Away was plenty weird, but also extrmely good.  Recommended.

Thsi si off topic, but to MegaManZero, I've been noticing this alot from you.  Instead of making two posts right next to each other (next to, above, below, whatever), click the edit button and you can change, erase, and add stuff to your post whenever you want, even when somebaody else has posted after you.  

oh yeah, dreamcast was great.

is this thread a joke?  Yeah, just about everyone's heard  of the Sims, is that cool? Sim games have been out for a while, and the Sims has about a million different versions for PC.  Sims, sims vacation, sims hot date, sims barmitzvah bonanza, sims house party, sims online, and more. and there's expansions for all of them!

Nintendo Gaming / What Nintendo should do when launching GC2

« on: July 01, 2003, 07:48:37 AM »

okay, the little quote button isn't working, but remember way back when some nimrod said that the connectivity games were dumb?  you do? good.

I happen to think this year's E3 was great.  So no surprises, oh well.  Does the element of surprise make the game any better when it comes out? No.  Connectivity is a great idea if used properly, and as i think that Nintendo isn't quite there yet, they're well on there way with games like FF:CC (which is the #1 game i'm looking forward to right now), pac-man, and fourswords.  Plus, using it to unlock hidden games ala Metroid Prime/Fusion could work out too.

Connectivity is a great unique thing only Nintendo can do at the time, which can boost sales.  If you don't have a gameboy (which, like everyone does) than don't get the games.  it's as simple as that.  if you (and friends) do have GBs, shell out a simple ten bucks for a link and enjoy a good game.  if you have both already, i don't see the problem.

Having DK, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Star Fox, etc.(all quality first party titles) at launch would be stupid.  Sure, at the beginning people would buy, and that's what Nintendo wants, but then what?  Then, there'd be a huge gap of no quality first party titles, and then all we'd get is "version 2" of everything.  I'm not saying sequals are bad or anything, I just think that spreading out the releases at a constant pace would keep sales steady.  

If these have already been addressed earlier then forgive me, I didn't feel like reading the whole thread.  But remember, you can post what you want to happen millions of times, but Nintendo's still going to do what they want.

General Chat / The N64 - What did you think?

« on: July 01, 2003, 05:02:03 AM »

I have had much quality time playing Mario Golf.  I've always had a thing for golfing games, but alot of them just sucked.  Finnaly, a quality golfing title with MARIO!!!  

I just played Mario Golf  GC yesterday on a walmart demo yesterday, and i was disappointed.  Probably becasue I didn't read the control screen, but I had figured it out for the most part.  The swing meter was different than in the 64 version.  It goes up to (wherever on the meter you want) and then it doesn't come back down.  Instead, a seperate bar on the right starts moving, and i'm not sure wheather I had to press A to stop it becasue it said "automatic".  I'm guessing I didn't, but I did anyway.

But if course, it was probably from lack of practice.  There were good things too, like it said how far on the power meter to stop it, which made putting easier.

Sorry for my rambling about something off topic, so.... err....Mario Golf was good.

OMG!! I forgot about f-zero x!  I was looking foward to f-zero gx, but there are a few more games i'd like to buy before that what about f-zero x? is it good? fun? fast?  f-zero gx looks sick, is x just as good (aside from the graphics and sound)?

NWR Feedback / official "great game deals"thread

« on: June 30, 2003, 06:55:31 AM »

I was wondering if in {enter any other appropriate place here}  we could have an official thread where people can post great deals they find on games or systems becasue I have found existing threads on this topic very useful. If I'm the only one that actually appreciates these threads, then making one would be useless.  But if alot of other people like them, I think an official "Great Deals" thread would be a great idea.

not only do the controlers feel horrible now, but they're all worn out.  if i look where the control stick is, i see all this powdery, grey, pixie stick like stuff.  and when i tilt the controller, the stick moves with it.  it make all my games unplayable.

finally!! more people who love homestar.  i had a homestar avitar, but it got taken away by the mods. oh well.  i started a homestar fad last year within my whole grade, for a couple months everybody was obsessed with him, it was awsome  
yeah, all that was mentioned is great.  i also like the short "Meet Marshie"  i like the song about the cheat, and the cheat in gerneral.  "the interveiw" is good, and the two "homestarloween" cartoons are good.  so is "Wher's the Cheat?"
anyways, there's supposed to be a new strong bad email (defidantly check those out, some are hilarious) every monday, but last monday...none!  what happened? anyway, on the end of a lot of the new emails there is an easter egg, a hidden link.  go to the most recent one, suntan, and click on the "talking toaster" to see a clip on the pronunciation of fhqwagads (sp?).  i thought it was funny.  

oh yeah, anyone no what fhqwagadsis exactly?
