whoa.

btw, what's with the massive mutha ass pictures in the posts? I guess I'm too use to the rules of PGC.
And what are the RPG style meters on the bottom of your name and avatars for?

Mario · « **Reply #977 on:** June 11, 2003, 04:00:28 AM »

Erm.. the second one. But i know now, its an anime that i simply have to watch!

-___- at the "cartoon" haters. I bet they havent even played it..

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #978 on:** June 11, 2003, 04:01:22 AM »

Yeah, it's set out like a strange RPG type thing. With each post you do, your EXP raises. When it reaches 100%, you go up a level. The HP just goes up depending on your level, and the MP is based on how active you are on the board. Say, you don't visit for a month, it'll be at 0. These stats really do nothing productive..

It's pretty cool, but we get a HELL of alot of spammers because of the system. Wanting to quickly raise their level. They eventually get banned though, all is good.

And the avatars are 105X150 there

Mario · « **Reply #979 on:** June 11, 2003, 04:03:55 AM »

Hehe, damn spammers.

Ah yes, the magic of MSN and dial up. See, right as I type, MSN is telling me my username doesn't exist. I AM NOT A MEMBER OF THIS WORLD WE LIVE IN ACCORDING TO MICROSOFT.

I feel compelled to cry. The tears, they are tears of sadness. What shall become of my existence? Shall I pass through the grill of reality and slip into the world of the unknown? Shall my feet explode and turn into roller skates?

It is unknown. I am at the mercy of Bill Gates and the almighty Window. This window, maybe it shall decide my future. Let us hope we don't experience an error. That would make me very sad. Unpleased. Jun-Dooply-Ka-Zoooma. These are the words I will utter as life passes from me. It will confuse all. The Windows, they will perform illegal operations.

My vengence will be played out as they get thrown into jail.
I will rejoice. Victory will be mine. Cake shall be baked. Toads shall pave my road. A road of success. And cake. Many a cake. With this new found baked treat, I shall be reborn into an almighty MSN man. Fear not! I will change the online world for the better. This world will no longer be a cold and scary place to exist and play. It will be full of cake. And toads. But they shall be Nintendo toads. Not QLD toads.

Am I drunk? I should hope so.

BAH. My 4 hour net time is almost up. Curse this vile creation that is the ISP time limit. NOW YOU'VE FUDGED THE BUCKET, AND I HAVE TOO MANY WORDS TO KNOW. WHERE IS MY MICK-SHAKE?

Once again Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire creep there way up the Top 10 charts. They made a sudden depature a few weeks back when retailers simply couldn't get their hands on any extra copies of the games.
Enter the Matrix continues strong sales on PS2 and Xbox, and YuGiOh on GBA keeps on climbing the ladder towards the top!
Zelda for Nintendo Gamecube also leaves the charts this week, however it will be interesting to see if it does manage to climb back into the charts soon.

1. Enter the Matrix PS2 -
2. Enter the Matrix Xbox -

No offense to anyone with the game (infernal), but that is a sign. A sign that the games industry in general is turning into a f*cking popularity contest. Enter the Matrix, i havent played it that much, but from what ive played of it at a friends house, from the reviews its got (Gamespy - 55 out of 100), and from peoples opinions of the game, i can say that Enter the Matrix is a terrible game. But people arent educated enough to realise this, they go to the store and see it and think "OMFG teh matrix the movei was rocked so the game must be ever bettar! omfg it has movie graphics!11one" and they friggin buy it without even knowing sh*t about the gameplay. Then on thier way home to play it they tell everyone they see who they know that its the best f*cking game ever, without having even played the game yet (ive seen this with my own eyes). Then they get home and play it. at first they think its alright, then they get bored and go do something else, like f*cking tell thier friends what an awesome game it is. How sad is that, they get bored of playing it so they tell everyone its an awesome game in the meantime. F*KING CASUAL GHEYMERS!!! Zlda is ten times the game Enter the matrix is, yet people look at it and think "look at that ghey cartoon, its teh kiddie, what a crappy babies game, har har im funnie" and it only stays in the top ten for a few weeks (in australia anyway). And look at Vice city and the getaway, probably two of the highest selling games in this generation of consoles. Vice city is pretty good, i admit, but cmon, its not freakin the best game ever, i cant believe its still number five after half a year! And the getaway, oh god the getaway, that has no excuse, the getaway is a piece of crap turned into a game. Woah it has realistic graphics! So does the f*cking road outside morons!!! Theres plenty of realism in my backyard f*ckers!!! Every generation of consoles, the top selling game has been a mario game, a Nintendo game, a GOOD game. Super Mario Bros, Super Mario World and Super Mario 64 are all fine examples of quality games. Gameplay used to be what was important, now all people care about is how many guns or cars are in the game, how much blood comes out of the guys head when you shoot them, what the game is rated, how cool the characters are etc. This gen some of the current top selling games are vice city, enter the matrix and the getaway. If only people knew what they were buying! I bet if your average xbot/psborg would sit down and play a game like wind waker, super mario sunshine or super monkey ball, they would realize how good the games are, how much FUN they are. Bah, im tired, in conclusion.. um… Nintendo is the best! Sony and microsoft are bringing the gaming industry down.

i think the time has come for action, enough of words, words are useless! what we need todo is bundle all the people that understand about games that are fun (from any console) and move them to an island and we can start a utopian society of fun!

i call president! or.. QUEEN

KING I mean king... *looks about, notices we are almost upto 1000 posts!* hooray for us!

Mario · « **Reply #998 on:** June 12, 2003, 02:52:34 AM »

Hey yeah, we are getting pretty close to the 1000th post arent we

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #999 on:** June 12, 2003, 02:53:16 AM »

The Getaway is selling thanks to its foul language and GTA 'type' gameplay. OMG ITS LIEK GTA ITS GOOD!!!1two

Vice City is still selling because people are clumsy and drop their games in pools of vomit, making them go out and buy three more (seriously, WHY is it still in the top ten? It's a good game, yes. But.. Really.. Are parents buying their new borns a copy for their future, too?)

And Enter the Matrix, well personally I find it a good game. I never got on the hype train that many magazines had started, so I had nothing to be disapointed by, it's Max Payne, but with a better story. It's big dumb fun, I need those types of games from time to time.

I'll bet Enter the Matrix (ETM) will STAY in the Australian top ten for QUITE some time. I fully expect sales of the game to explode around the time Reloaded comes to DVD, too. Why? It's based on a movie.
The sad truth is, many casual gamers in Australia just WON'T try any game that's not based on a movie, cartoon or something that's got the word "s**t" in it. Look at Super Man 64, it BOMBED badly around the world, and for a VERY good reason. It was horrid.

Hyper even scored it 10% in total, yet it was NUMBER ONE in the all formats charts that month it launched. NUMBER ONE.

Word of mouth is massive here. One idiot goes and buys Super Man/Getaway/whatever, plays it for 10 minutes, thinks it's awesome, and tells everybody to buy it. AWW IT HAS BOOBS AND THEY JIGGLE AND THERE'S BLOOD AND IT GUSHES! BEST GAME EVER BRO'!

Bam
It's a winner.

Oh yes, Grace Bros. currently have 20% off every game and accessory in store. Lasts till the 29th.

And I second this island! I call JESTER!
