I'd be happy to sell it to you if it wasn't for my parents. They don't like selling video games, and they don't like forums. Telling them i want to sell a video game to some guy on a forum who lives in Australia (they have nothing wrong with australia, mind you) is a bit out of the question, don't you think?

Ethics does not equal religion, first of all. It's a moral philosophy. And I don't have any real ethics, so I have to make up dumb stuff. Why don't I play arcade games? 1: Most of them suck. F-Zero probably won't, but most of them do. 2: They cost way too much money. 50 cents to play a game is insane, and you have to pay every time you want to play. That's dumb. 3: I don't like the impression it gives people. Sure, I don't mind people knowing that I'm a weird Nintendo freak, but I do not want them relating me to some of the people that play arcade games. 4: Arcades are dumb.

There are other deep, subconscious reasons, too. Probably some horrible accident involving an arcade game in my childhood

I dunno. I just never liked playing arcade games. F-Zero could be an exception, but since I'm buying the game for GC anyway, I doubt it. Why play a slightly different, better graphics version for fifty cents a shot when I can play a close second best for free? Well, aside from fifty dollars to start.

I know that ethnics not = religion.

Anyway, I agree tha arcades cost too much, and I also agree with (whoever said it) that stupid swipe cards are stupid. I'll pay a quarter for a game. That's the way it should be.

I suck at all arcade games anyway.

Cheapest arcade machine I've seen recently is the pirated NES multi-game arcade machine at our local arcade. A mere 50 cents for two credits, and nobody touches it since it's full of old NES games.

"EWW, I'M TOO COOL FOR KIRBY OR MARIO BROS. I'M GUNNA GO SPEND $2 ON HOUSE OF THE DEAD BECAUSE I'M COOL."

Well, except.. They're not really called Kirby or Mario. Mario 3 is called "Super Jump v3". Which is hilarious. I could spend an entire day on 50 cents, there.

And uh.. The weekly comics, Termin8?

Well, I'm kinda lagging behind a bit.. Like.. two weeks. Ahaha, i'm so lazy. They'll make a return, in style, soon. *Goes back to sleep*

Oh wait, the "Super Microsoft Happy Kawaii Mega Fun Time Whore Show" is on at 12:00! I gotta watch that. -_-

Hostile Creation: Religion eh? *tiptoes away*
And 50 cents! I'd be happy with that. We have to pay $2 for the decent games! *shakes fist*

And the American thread? *thinks about gate-crashing*

Termin8: I haven't seen American Pie 3 yet. Some mixed reviews, so I'll probably wait until it's on DVD or something.
But I did see that suspense movie Identity. And my advice. Don't. Just don't. The story is all over the place, and really screwed up. *explodes*

*goes back to Megaman*

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #1705 on:** August 09, 2003, 05:05:22 PM »

Yeah, but it's 50 cents USD, which is like 5o DOLLARS AUSSIE or something.....

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #1706 on:** August 09, 2003, 05:38:16 PM »

50 cents US is like less than 1 dollar here.
We are paying more than you yanks, so don't you complain!

Mario · « **Reply #1707 on:** August 09, 2003, 05:47:59 PM »

Yeah, stop complaining and go play Animal Crossing...

PIAC · « **Reply #1708 on:** August 09, 2003, 05:49:31 PM »

we pay like $2 a go for a game, and you have animal crossing AND chrono trigger

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #1709 on:** August 09, 2003, 05:55:38 PM »

at least we have the F-Zero AX arcade cabinet supposedly here first in Australia (actually, just Sydney)!!!

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #1710 on:** August 09, 2003, 07:35:05 PM »

OH MY GOD A NEW COMIC IS UP AND A STUFF SECTION! MORE TO COME! HAVING LUNCH NOW! CONTROL FREAKS IS SPONSERED BY MICROSOFT, NOT GOING TO WATCH IT ANYMORE. CAPS LOCK ROCKS!

Am I still welcome here?

Due to popular demand, I decided to post!

I have a hard time believing Mario Kart will be released in Australia first. The news doesn't seem to be official. But I do want to enter the competition and I have an idea what to put in.

(Tell us!)
No way! I'm competing with you guys...Anyway, it will not make up for Australia not getting the RPGs and other games.

(Okay wise guy, what will make up for it?)
The next console launches in Australia first...that is!

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #1714 on:** August 09, 2003, 07:50:00 PM »

good to see AiAi alive and kicking on these forums again!!!

And Infernal, get on msn you bastard!!

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #1715 on:** August 09, 2003, 07:51:49 PM »

Oh yeah, while I'm still here, the anime movie Perfect Blue is on SBS this Saturday (16th) at 10pm. Watch it or be square!

PIAC, it's a horror and psychological movie, you may not want to watch it!

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #1716 on:** August 09, 2003, 09:12:42 PM »

PERFECT BLUE? YES! I've always wanted to see that, but could never find it in the video store, so I gave up

Shift Key · « **Reply #1717 on:** August 09, 2003, 11:51:33 PM »

*shrugs*
Hmm, Japanime, or free beer?
Sorry, but the movie'll have to wait

*is square*
*remembers about MSN*

MAMMA MIA!

PIAC · « **Reply #1720 on:** August 10, 2003, 02:48:45 AM »

SO GOOD!

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #1721 on:** August 10, 2003, 02:57:30 AM »

Hey, does anybody know of any Harvey Norman stores that are actually still stocking GameCube games? The latest catalogue has cut them out completly. HULK IS ONLY ON XBOX, KIDS! ;___;

ARROWED!

Mario · « **Reply #1722 on:** August 10, 2003, 03:03:14 AM »

I dont know, and i dont care. I never go to Harvey Norman for games, because quite simply, they suck.

I still see a fair amount of GC games everywhere else though, Kmart, Target, Grace Bros seem to have plenty.

Shift Key · « **Reply #1723 on:** August 10, 2003, 03:19:38 AM »

VOIP!!!!

But anyway, Harvey Norman suck. The only thing good about them is the surround sound, uber-expensive systems.
*continues to dream about having money*

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #1724 on:** August 10, 2003, 03:25:38 AM »

Ooooh, if I had money, I'd buy a dinosaur.
