Oaky. . . I tried to be nice. I attempted to let you see that I was in no way trying to insult you or say anything negative whatsoever. Obviously you are bent on making it seem like I'm attacking you, so I'm just going to do you a favor and straight out insult you. You are an ignorant, annoying, pathetic excuse for anything more intelligent than pond scum and I hope something really bad happens to you (I won't go into detail, lest I give you nightmares and/or get banned).

Sorry, but you were grabbing my legs and begging me.

You're really clueless. I'd like to think you'd notice that I did make valid contribution to this thread (hint: read page 1....next to the name "Strell,"....begins with an "S"), but I guess I'm wrong, which I must be, since you in your mighty glory tell me so.

I'll agree we've all said stupid things, but I didn't say anything WRONG. Stupid? Of course, I always say stupid things. Wrong? No. Again, read what I said, then read what others are saying, and you'll see we're all saying the same thing.

I hope I was wearing gloves when I grabbed your legs.

Strell has the best signature in the world. That's all I have to say.

Now could we all stop arguing about arguing?

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #78 on:** April 05, 2003, 09:30:04 AM »

I didn't deny that you contributed to the thread. Something obvious you managed to notice on your own. I just said that some of the statements you said were mean and insulting. I used stupid for word variety, and because I wasn't being entirely serious. I'd also like to point out that I never said you were wrong. You just said certain things that you didn't need to say.

I agree with muffins. Let's stop arguing (like I suggested several times already

)

(Also, I doubt the gloves would help. The sheer ickiness would burn right through them)

Strell · « **Reply #79 on:** April 05, 2003, 09:38:14 AM »

I agree with muffin too. I have the best signature ever. Bear witness to my glory.

Just so you know, I like you now Strell. Nice argument.

Strell · « **Reply #81 on:** April 05, 2003, 09:53:26 AM »

You'd be crazy not to. Crazy like a loon.

blimey, this thread went from almost resurecting its self into being constructive, then took a nosedive for the worse. didn't you heed bloodworth's warning strell? atleast thecubedcanuck was man or woman (not sure) enough to admit he was wrong (about the insults) which earns my respect.

also thinking about it more, i can definatly see where your coming from cubed, and yes in theory your being ripped off due to the fact you paid the same amount for metroid prime/the wind waker as joe gameboy user yet cant access everything these games have to offer. do you have any friends that have a copy of metroid fusion? if so you could drag them round to your place and atleast have a go of the bonus'

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #83 on:** April 05, 2003, 11:16:24 AM »

Nosedive for the worst? Everything seems fine to me. Anyway, let's not start all this nonsense again.

And to the other poster, I have (well, I had a NES) but I got sick of blowing on the cartridges for a half hour to make it work.

Note: It's not my intention to make this personalized to anyone, so if you take offense to it, you're a tad too sensitive and overly self-conscious.

You say that everything should be available without an additional purchase? What if it's locked and requires skill to unlock? What about minor physical skills with electronics?

Actually for the time it takes to blow on those cartridges, you could fix the hardware problem yourself. All you need is a screwdriver and a utility knife. I'm almost certain no one still has a valid NES warranty, right? So pop open the casing. You'll notice that the place where the cartridge contacts make...er, contact is a sort of removable bridge. Take that out, and use the utility knife to pry out the contacts (and maybe scrape them clean a bit, while you're at it; careful where those metal shavings go). Upon reassembly, you'll notice that cartridges fit much more snuggly and require a surprising bit of force to remove now. The problem with the NES wasn't really with the cartridges, but the fact the circuits couldn't be properly completed because the contact pins inside the NES weren't making contact.

Sidenote: If you have a Dreamcast that randomly drops back to the Operating System screen (even with legit games), open the sucker and pull out the power converter. Scrape the pins that connect it with the main board, and you should be set.

Strell · « **Reply #90 on:** April 05, 2003, 07:51:28 PM »

Holy hell.

Dafunkk, you got pics on how to do that? I have me NES set up, but it's a pain to get the carts to work.

Oh! Same with Dreamcast too!!!!!!!!!

Microsoft does do this and nobody seemed to care very much. You can only get the last 5 missions or so of Splinter Cell by using XBox live, even though it's not an online game at all.

Remember PD? in that game we had the best of both worlds. You could use the GB game pak to unlock those insanely hard cheats or you coul just go ahead and complete those insanely hard cheats. Yes, it would hav been prefferable to the NES Metroid unlockable without the GBA connection while making the unlock conditions hard. that would have rewarded the hardcore Metroid lovers either way.

You can't remove Internet Explorer? Why not? That's bogus.

re: Metroid. Why would you want to play it? It's so ridiculously primitive that it's not worth the $100 expense of Gameboy + Link Cable. I mean, look at: Yuck:

That's nice, but nothing you said justifies the way you insult people mouse_clicker. You've insulted me. You've insulted cubedcanuck. And you've insulted several other people over at the Zelda forum.

NOW STOP IT. Act like a mature adult, not an immature teenager. People are entitled to express their opinion and NOT be insulted for them. You should attack ideas, NOT people.

RahXephon · « **Reply #97 on:** April 06, 2003, 11:07:04 AM »

he is right, just because there is a diffrence in opinion, that does not justify insults. If someone tries to impose their opinion on you through force or insult, then they are being both rude and misguided in their arguments. STate what you believe and why. Not why the other person is wrong, just state your new opinion, you can work it off someone elses argument, just make sure that you pose it in proper form that makes it seem like you are starting a new idea, then justify it from your own thoughts. There should never be a comment about others, as you will no longer be stating anything original, just opposing somehting we can easily realize the opposite to.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #98 on:** April 06, 2003, 11:49:17 AM »

Okay fine, theavenge.

I think cubed is wrong because a) the extras aren't necessary to beat the main game, so he's not being forced to buy a GBA he doesn't want, b) because the extras are there as REWARDS for people that DO have both consoles- they paid the extra money and deserve the extra features, and c) because he can go out and buy a friggin' GBA and GET the extras if he wants to, however he feels the need to bitch and whine to us that he can't get them because he CHOSE not to buy a GBA and blames it all on Nintendo. To ME, that's not an opinion- that's ignorance and arrogance. I really don't think there's a valid reason for people who don't own a GBA to GET the extras in Gamecube games. Like I said- it works like extra credit on a test. You don't need to do it, but if you put out the extra work you get the extra points. I'd be just as pissed off if someone was claiming THEY should've gotten those extra points when they did diddly squat to earn it. I think cubed is being selfish thinking he deserves the same things that those of us who own both consoles get. WE paid for both consoles, so why should he get it free? In my *opinion*, selfishness, arrogance, and ignorance are NOT opinions. Saying "Oh, well I think this team actually has the better players, they just didn't do as well this season" is an opinion because it's subjective. What he is doing is trying to reap the benefits that he didn't earn and he doesn't deserve and I do not think that THAT is a valid opinion. If you disagree, good for you, but I hold by my stance.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #99 on:** April 06, 2003, 12:25:50 PM »

Nice, though a bit harsh. I agree with mouse clicker's opinion, and I don't really mind if people insult each other. The argument between Strell and myself was, as far as I'm concerned, just for fun. However, theaveng, if you think you're doing something right by calling mouse clicker immature for insulting people, you're being a hypocrite. While he shouldn't insult people, you should just tell him so and not throw another insult back. . . just a suggestion. . . that's how arguments stay alive.
