PIAC, five tries? Man, I hate to brag but I got it first time. Piece of cake.

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!

I've gone 24 hours without playing Metroid. Aurgh!

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #301 on:** April 09, 2003, 03:47:32 PM »

man. everyone has metroid 'cept me, and i can't talk to anyone without them bringing Metroid up! ARRRGH!

Good news though, I'm almost finsihed Star Fox Adventures.

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!
Nintendo Australia have put up the pokemon event at darling harbour on thier website! OMG, i can see termin8anakin! And is that me? OMG!

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! Now im off to play Pokemen, i am teh kiddy!

Be the mule PIAC!

Ah, only one more day! Then it's two weeks off, partying, recovering and sleeping in, hopefully in that order. And of course I can't forget Samus.

Mario · « **Reply #305 on:** April 09, 2003, 10:48:34 PM »

The results are in people...... *drum roll*

The number one selling game in Australia is......... A Nintendo game............. A long awaited Nintendo game............ A long awaited sequal to a popular franchise.......... A game that is currently being heavily advertised on tv..............

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!

Oh, here's the link by the way... http://www.informbd.com.au/i3/html/charts.html

I'm in two photos!
I'M IN TWO PHOTOS!

Do you think i get amused by such simple things?

Yes.
I'M ON NINTENDO OF AUSTRALIA'S WEBSITE!

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #307 on:** April 09, 2003, 10:53:04 PM »

And the GBA SP seems to be doing VERY well!
And kudos to Nintendo and their successful Metroid and Pokemon campaigns!

Very good news indeed for all of us Aussie Nintendo-ists!

*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.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #309 on:** April 09, 2003, 11:35:54 PM »

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*

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #310 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!

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #311 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*

PIAC · « **Reply #312 on:** April 10, 2003, 02:48:47 AM »

*shakes packets of noodles at fists*

ooo ooo ooooo my ralts evolved!

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #313 on:** April 10, 2003, 03:51:09 PM »

*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!
*Slips in spilt noodles*

Shift Key · « **Reply #314 on:** April 10, 2003, 05:53:38 PM »

Hooray! Nintendo is on top again, thanks to those little monsters.
Who said Pokemon was dead? They obviously forgot to tell everyone!

And I'm on holidays now! Hooray!

PIAC · « **Reply #315 on:** April 10, 2003, 06:42:53 PM »

*shakes noodle covered floor* stupid work, dont have holidays =\ could sure go for a week or two of nothing but sitting on my ass playing metroid, pokemon, my new snes etc =\

BULK NASH!

hmmm. its 2:00. i think its time to have breakfast.

I just finished Metroid Prime again, now im starting a THIRD file... Ah, i love games *Hugs his Gamecube*

PS: YAY! Im getting my SP tomorow! Holidays get!

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #319 on:** April 11, 2003, 03:54:23 PM »

Oh man, Shanghai Knights and Johnny English rock!

I think Johnny English is THE definitive Bond spoof, except for Dr. Evil and Blofeld.
And Chon Wang's sister in Shanghai Knights is HOT!

And I have finally finished Star Fox Adventures.
What's the deal with Andross eh? And Falco? And where the hell did Krystal get that Spaceship from? I thought she flies on that CloudRunner thing?
It was a well done, but pretty corney ending.

And oooooh, Fox likes Krystal. Ooooooh!
"My sensors indicate Fox's temperature is rising!"

joeyjojo · « **Reply #320 on:** April 11, 2003, 07:37:15 PM »

oh man, im hung over as a mofo... not so hung over that im unable to play prime of course...
i like your posters piac. noice. oh yeah, that wasnt me on msn yesterday saying, "im taking off my pants now..." or what ever the funk it was. i was playing some cube while my mate was using my msn. subsequently he destroyed whatever reputation i may have had with all my contacts.

hmmm. did anyone see that movie, "you cant stop the murders" ? i really wanted to go and see it but i put it off and its not playing anymore.

Shift Key · « **Reply #321 on:** April 11, 2003, 09:17:14 PM »

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.

PIAC · « **Reply #322 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 >=))

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #323 on:** April 12, 2003, 05:21:48 PM »

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.

I'll be hooking the GC/PS2 up to the big TV, and stereo this arvo. Yay, I can piss off my next door neighbours.

PIAC · « **Reply #324 on:** April 12, 2003, 08:12:43 PM »

\o/ yay no parents and full tv controll = makes for a good 2 weeks!!
can i come round >=D
