Haha yeah, but Termin8, when my limit runs out, which is 3 gigs btw, apparantly all that happens is my speed gets reduced to 20kb/s, which is still 5 times what dialup gets anyway! Mwahahahaahahahaah!

You should post it over at Fanfiction.net!
I've got my 'Ski-Free' fan fic over there

BEHOLD THE BAD GRAMMAR AND GENERAL CRAP!

http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=740881

oh yeah, there's 3 chapters to it, just choose on the bottom right hand drop down box

That was f'king hilarious Infernal. Never heard of the game before. Kinda made my morning.

Here's a fanfic I've been working on, The Legend of Zelda: Sorrow of Shadows It's not finished, no where close actually and don't know if I should. It takes place more or less a year after the events of Zelda II: The Adventures of Link. I have two other stories I have going. An original story in the Castlevania timeline and a original story with Celes and Locke from Final Fantasy 3. (US) If anybody would like to read what I have done with the other two let me know and I'll put them up on my website and post them in the topic I made for my story july.

actually its slower ;P 28.8 kb/s compared to Termin8 and Infernal Monkey's 56 kb/s so bupbow to us.

Mario · « **Reply #1033 on:** June 13, 2003, 02:34:12 PM »

Yeah sorry Termin8, i had to shutdown the computer so dad could shove a network card in it, now all i need is a long enough cable to connect all the computers.

Well pants to that -___-

Yay 3 hour simpsons marathon is on

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #1034 on:** June 13, 2003, 05:07:02 PM »

at least it's a solid 28k.
dial up is MEANT to go at 56kb/s in theory, but it don't.
more like 5kb/s average.

PIAC · « **Reply #1035 on:** June 13, 2003, 07:06:43 PM »

HOORAY i just bought a Sega Master System and 6 games (plus sonic the hedgehog built in) for $20 A WINNER IS ME! its a master system 2 aswell! oooh the advanced technology!

Shift Key · « **Reply #1036 on:** June 13, 2003, 09:31:46 PM »

The kbps refers to the number of bits per second. Divide that by 8 to get the approximate amount of bytes.

So 56kbps is like 7,000 bytes per second, so when you take out transmission and parity bits, it's not so bad. About 6 kilobytes per second isn't bad. Especially when you thrash it with KaZaA and GetRight. And hog the phone line.

But cable will always win. *shakes fist at modem* Why are you so crippled??

Until I get some more work, or win the lottery, I'll have to put up with this.

Mario: No, Angel doesn't own. If anything, Buffy owns. Mmm, lesbians.

Drat!

nitsujdark;
I'd very much like to see you continue that Zelda fan-fic! It was damn cool!

And I recommened you go get Ski-Free on Kazaa or something, it's only like 100 kb

, it's so crap it's hilarious!

And yay! Got Spirited Away today! And the DBZ movie for the extra $5

Awesome-o-tastic!

AiAi! Have you found the easter eggs on both discs?

One of them on the second disc is awesome.

{Cowboy} That is a fine new Avatar you there Termin8. {/cowboy}

56k is not that bad. Atleast most of you live on the other side of the ditch where BB is far more wide spread and cheaper. Here we get a "No balls" versoin of BB which is only twice as fast as 56K but with marginally better lag. To get the full package, you start paying with blood. It eventually gets to your soul.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #1039 on:** June 14, 2003, 05:29:24 AM »

Yes, a very nice avatar.

Spirited Away is a fantastic movie.
It's one where I can fall in love with my imagination again.
I like the girl (forgot her name - Sen is her wonderland name, and I forgot her real name.)
And guess what?
It's based on Alice in Wonderland!
AHAHAHAHAHA!

Mario · « **Reply #1040 on:** June 14, 2003, 06:28:00 AM »

Everyone watch Control Freaks tomorow! I mean today! FULL REVIEW OF ZELDA THE WIND WAKER PLUS MORE NINTENDO STUFF! Last week the show was like 90% nintendo, so im looking forward to it. Ive told all my dumbass xbot/psyborg casual gheymers to watch it, i said it has xbox/ps2 games on it. Which is true of course, but wait til they see how awesome Nintendo really is! or something... *shrugs tail*

Mario · « **Reply #1041 on:** June 14, 2003, 07:33:59 AM »

Ughh! Another game cancelled for the Gamecube in Australia. Apparently AFL Live 2004 wont be coming out on GC. Its still coming to PS2/XB and PC though. Oh well, i wasnt going to buy it anyway, but its still bad news.

Oh, and i REALLY want pokemon box for some obscure reason. I think about it every 5 minutes, its driving me crazy, POKEMON BOX! ARGH! I hope it gets released here, soon! POKEMON BOX! POKEMON BOX! POKEMON BOX! GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL!

Mario · « **Reply #1042 on:** June 14, 2003, 10:37:27 AM »

I just sent an email to Nintendo Australia asking about Pokemon box

I also asked about Animal Crossing and Futurama.

Btw, Fzero comes out here in September! yay!

EDIT: Damn! I should have asked about demo disks

Mario · « **Reply #1043 on:** June 14, 2003, 08:37:32 PM »

50% OFF ALL GAMECUBE GAMES!!!!111

Harvey Norman Chatswood, Sydney has 50% off all GC games! I dont know of any other details though, just heard it from a friend.

Im talking to myself

Shift Key · « **Reply #1044 on:** June 14, 2003, 08:54:37 PM »

Curse you EA. Where's the Cube support?
And they said they'd make sure it would be on the Cube too.

And it's not xbot, it's xbawx, y'all.

And Pokemon Box?? WTF? Dude, it's a box, filled with, ah, Pokemon.

Hooray for F-Zero GX (or whatever they put on the end of it this time) getting here soon.

And September is when I officially get another year older, and get my full license. Yay!

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #1045 on:** June 14, 2003, 08:59:27 PM »

MIssed Control Freaks/
Was it good?

I remember EA cancelled AFL 2003 so they could just simply make 2004 for Gamecube. So what the f**k's goin on?

And Mario: I think you should get reaquainted with something called sleep. I know you've got cable and all (evryone look at the times of his posts above), but you'll go insane. For real.
Haha
September is till a very long way away, but I can't wait for F-Zero GX either.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #1046 on:** June 14, 2003, 09:31:15 PM »

Control Freaks was okay. They had a half decent review of Zelda: WW, then had a bit of news saying PS2 and Xbawx had dropped to $329, but then (thankfully) said that although the GC is still $329, it comes with a free GBP.

Ummm, what else.... A demented feature of Australian game development, a cool-ish review of Ty The Tasmanian Tiger, a hilarious review of Midnight CLub II. They stated it was on both PS2 and GameCube. When it's NOT on GC at all, it should of been Xbawx there

They reviewed Monkey Ball Jr and Golden Sun II on GBA (via the GBP)
Did a crap retro look at WipEout, neglecting to say it was on both PSone and Saturn.

And um, yeah. Oh yeah, they had a review of NBA Street II... And some other sports games.

Mario · « **Reply #1047 on:** June 14, 2003, 09:33:31 PM »

Sleep? Is that some sort of gaming peripheral?

Control Freaks was ok, i like the fact that EVERY game they had on the show was playable on GC, excepyt Midnight Club 2, but for some obscure reason they said it was, so yay! First it had Zelda the Wind Waker review, they said really good things about it, its the best zelda yet. They gave it a 5 for gameplay. Then they had Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, did anyone see the cutscenes in that?! Pretty awesome huh

My dad did some of them

Ermm.... oh yeah, they mentioned the Xbox and PS2 price cuts, and that Nintendo was staying strong by keeping the same price. They also mentioned the GBA player bundle too. They had some special with Australian game developers, and they kept showing some lame ass racing game with those weird cars, that pissed me off, it looked like the worst game ive ever seen. They reviewed NBA Street 2

They reviewed Midnight Club 2, and said it was on PS2 and Gamecube even though its not on Gamecube

They reviewed Golden Sun the lost age and Super Monkey Ball Junior on the GB Player! Super Monkey ball looked awesome on gba! The graphics were very nice for a GBA game. Oh yeah! And at the end they showed short clips of Starfox Armada (no crap footage, only fmv! looked very nice), pokemon coluseum, 1080 and Giftpia!! and maybe some other stuff that im forgetting.

I want Pokemon Box because i can trade my pokemon from sapphire to it and then start a new file to catch all the pokemon! And also its a budget priced game and comes with a link cable and a memory card!

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #1048 on:** June 14, 2003, 11:07:31 PM »

That snowboarding footage was from 1080? Wow, I thought it was SSX 3 or something

It looked mega fast paced! Like SSX with Sonic the Hedgehog up its arse!

Mario · « **Reply #1049 on:** June 14, 2003, 11:13:47 PM »

Haha yeah, it was exactly the same as the trailer footage that i have. It looks awesome
