The Rugby World Cup starts tonight (it's 12:20am right now

)!!!!!!!!!
And the Opening Ceremony is right in my backyard! Sort of! Yay! Mario! Can you see the searchlights and fireworks??
I can!

And Piac, you ARE sexy! Hahahaa........-_______-
Why oh why did you quote me on that?

And everyone! Go to IGN and do a reader review! It makes you look like one of their staff, cause when you write one, it's in the exact same format as them, so it looks pro!!
I did my first one for Metroid Prime, and my nickname is NintendoLover2.
Please, i joined IGN LONG before i came up with the brilliant alias that is Termin8Anakin. NIntendo Lover 2 was all I could come with. Well, not me. Someone else. I was the second.

This is also the perfect way for me to do the reviews without having to post them on my site, so thanks IGN!
Sorry PGC

I AM here for the forums after all!

NintendoLover2's Metroid Prime Review!

Yeah I was considering contributing towards that IGN review thing.
UNTIL I REMEMBERED THAT I'LD ONLY BE SUPPORTING CAPITALIST PIGS!

nah really I might submit a couple. my username is wapotatoes which was in tribute to my favorite tv ad, for West Aussie Potatoes. I did have RABicle, but I got banned for flaming an insider and I couldn't remember my password.

That's too much work for me, since I have slowly been updating my own games list with my scores and my mini reviews (or thoughts) on games. I'm either nice or mean, take a look to see what I thought about some games.

RABicle, it must have been one hell of a TV ad, huh.

*Hates Bit Torrent*

I tried using that two weeks back to download the F-Zero GX soundtrack rip, all in one zip at about 230 MB. Left the net going all night (Auto reconnect after the 4 hour dial up limit thingy)

Later the next day, it was 87% done, AND THE THING DIES ON ME. I COULD NOT RESUME.
*Throws brick at an old lady*

Wowee, Rugby tonight! *Pretends to look interested* =P

CardBoardBox · « **Reply #2730 on:** October 09, 2003, 01:59:16 PM »

I dont watch rugby...Baseballs better -.- GO REDSOX!

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #2731 on:** October 09, 2003, 02:58:41 PM »

Rugby's pretty cool, but it, like, doesn't exist in the here states. The only time I can watch it is on the portugese channel, and only when I'm lucky and catch it while channel surfing.

Bit Torrent=teh sucks for me.

Grey Ninja tried to get it to work for me, but all this stuff happened. :\
Yep...stuff. Anyway, I gave up on it (that's why I haven't PM's you back, Grey.)

Bah.

F-Zero soundtrack is very goodly to ears. I like.

Except that, it seems a version of the big blue theme is used in casino city (or whatever). THEY SHOOD USE THE BIG BLUE SONG FOR BIG BLUE.

or maybe they do do (tee-hee) that and I'm not listening close enough. IT'S TOO FAST FOR EARS.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #2732 on:** October 09, 2003, 03:01:00 PM »

Well the fact is, you're a yank. of COURSE you don't watch rugby!
You guys watch Grid Iron, which is a pussy's football game, cause we Aussies (and Kiwi's, Poms, Africans, etc) don't wear ten million plates of armour to protect ourselves from bone-crunching tackles.

And baseball?
Ugh.
You guys have a World Series, yet the only country to play in it is the US!
What the hell World Series is that?
And why do you need a glove to catch the ball? Pansies!
Hey guys! Throw them yanks a cricket ball and see how they react!

Rugby and Cricket are both great games.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #2733 on:** October 09, 2003, 03:09:10 PM »

Just so you know KnowsNothing, the original Big Blue track is in the game

(You have to unlock it)

If you want, I'll put it up this weekend...

As for Baseball...ick, how boring...Japan plays baseball so I guess you would consider that...

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #2734 on:** October 09, 2003, 03:11:37 PM »

Fine. We lose. We're wimps. And we're fat.

But seriously, Rugby is a very cool game. I don't really know too much about cricket, except it rhymes with wicket, and they use wickets. And that games can go on for a long time.

I never understood why we called it the world series. I guess we assumed that the US is better than everyone else in every coneivable way, so why should we let other smelly countries try? They'd just be crushed under our sheer........weight? :\

*moves to Australia*

Damn Yanks! *shakes fist*

EDIT: Just call me...KN, "the one who sheers sheep"

Huh?

Big Blue is the most bestest song ever. How do you unlock it? NO WAIT, I WILL DO IT MYSELF, THANK YOU.

I was actually thinking of using big blue as the theme for my "I hit 1000 posts" song.

BTW, anybody know of any good VG music that sounds, how do you say, hostile?

The Dark Tower · « **Reply #2735 on:** October 09, 2003, 04:38:14 PM »

Knowsnothing is a threat to all Americans, and in the words of our unqualified president, "Is a threat to our homeland security."

Football is a wimp sport because of all the pads, or do I mean soccer, or futball or sumtin'.
Either way Rugby is cool, but cricket is awsome.

I am a big fan, but the rest of...say... North America doesn't agree.

I posed the idea of a school cricket team, they thought I was joking *sigh*

If you haven't heard in the down low, Arnold Schwarzenegger is now the govenor of California. What has the world come to? (except the Aussies)

And in the words of the Aussies and Red Sox fans alike *shakes fists* "Damn Yankees!!"

ThePerm · « **Reply #2736 on:** October 09, 2003, 05:26:41 PM »

bit torrent is easy...yuo can always redownload stuff as long as you have the link. I saw the f-zero cartoon it was pretty cool. Don't you want to see it?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #2737 on:** October 09, 2003, 05:30:19 PM »

Hostile music, huh? Try the one in my sig...I'll see if I can pull anything else out...

CardBoardBox · « **Reply #2738 on:** October 09, 2003, 06:16:27 PM »

To KnowsNothing....umm stupid..there is rugby here in the states...not big like baseball...but...yea there is...my uncle was part of a rugby leage and they traveled around the states playing...he now has a metal rod in his leg

Two new comics thrown into the depths of my site.
And I just got this email;

Quote
We have updated our profile and now it's your turn. Yes we've had a facelift in a few areas but don't panic, it's not like those shockers you see who have changed so much that they no longer look normal. No! We are still real and you still get all the great benefits of being a member of this great site but instead of being a "GameNation" member you are now an "ATARI Member".

WHY?
It's obvious - ATARI is cool. ATARI is what we gamers are all about! ATARI stands for gaming revolution and evolution.
But it's not just a gimmicky name change and a new look. It's a lot more. By being a member and updating your profile now, you:

Get a free PC Game "Driver" when you join and let us know more about you and what you like.
Get the latest news on all your favourite games.
Can win ATARI merchandise.
Get to win heaps of cool prizes through all our great competitions.
Get to be a pro by accessing all the hints and tips for our games.
Get to know about special offers and discounts on games through selected retailers.

So the jerks at Sega Ozisoft who renamed themselves to GameNation have now gone under the Atari name. Just great. Isn't Atari the ones who decided Europe wouldn't get all those GameCube games? Well, now I can understand their lack of support here...

But hell, I'll fill in a few answers for a free copy of Driver. It won't run, but it's free!
I still have a copy of Rally Masters 2000 GameNation sent me last year...

Shift Key · « **Reply #2740 on:** October 09, 2003, 06:40:11 PM »

Rugby's quite rough, but nothing beats the old Aussie Rules Football. Particularly the 80s and early 90s, before they sucked the violence out of it. There's a bit of violence every now and again (MELEE!!) but the bone-crunching bumps and tackles are all but forgotten.

Ah well.

And gridiron is particularly good for the tackling and stuff, but the padding and helmets make it wussy. Not that I'd take on a 300 pound guy without padding.

And the Opening Ceremony is going up against the Simpsons marathon! *makes easy choice*
But I won't even be around for it

curse you life!

EDIT: Speaking of old school games, Rockstar has re-release GTA (the original) designed for 2000/XP/ME/all those other win systems. I got a copy with Hyper (which came with a back issue of PC Powerplay)!

SCORE!!

CardBoardBox · « **Reply #2741 on:** October 09, 2003, 06:45:13 PM »

I wouldnt take a 300 pound guy one with padding....

Shift Key · « **Reply #2742 on:** October 09, 2003, 06:52:27 PM »

Yeah, I guess so.

But one tradition I like with gridiron is pouring the Gatorade over the winning coach.
How long til the Super Bowl???

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #2743 on:** October 09, 2003, 07:11:16 PM »

Hey Shifty, is that GTA/PC Powerplay bonus with the current issue of Hyper? *Is too lazy to go down the road and check it out*

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #2744 on:** October 09, 2003, 07:19:46 PM »

Look! It's the badger! Infernal's avatar has the little badger in it!!

Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger! Mushroom mushroom mushroom mushroom mushroom!! Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger! AHHH! A snake! Oh ahhh it's a snake! Badger badger badger badger badger........

*dies of repetition*

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #2745 on:** October 09, 2003, 07:32:05 PM »

Yep, PIAC threw it at me.

Hey Tremin9, in your IGN list thingy, you've got a custom title on the top bar 'My Games! Even though I like pie"
How'd ye do that? Arrrrr?

*And with that, Infernal actually goes outside to get some fish and chips from down the road, and Hyper*

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #2746 on:** October 09, 2003, 08:01:57 PM »

Simple! Go to your profile and edit it!
You can type in a title bar for your each of your pages in the IGN profile!
Press save and presto! Custom title bar!

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #2747 on:** October 09, 2003, 08:43:29 PM »

Hahaha, yay!

Just got Hyper. No mention of GameCube. Not a single review, preview .. Or.. Anything. What the... Hell? THIS is the only Aussie mag left that covers it, and they ignore it. Nice.
Oh well, I got a back issue of PSW with it, and that came with a DVD. The case was all broken.. But... FREE!

PIAC · « **Reply #2748 on:** October 09, 2003, 10:20:49 PM »

oooooh yeah, i saw that copy of hyper today, i said WOWEE and walked off, mostly cause i hate hyper, they smell of old milk (or good cheese)

thats the best avatar ever infernal, i could watch it for 3 weeks! but i wont becauuuuuuuuuse, ONE WON AND WUN WEEK TILL VIEWTIFUL JOE! *schpoonkt* oh yeah and animal crossing, to which im somewhat excited for.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #2749 on:** October 09, 2003, 11:40:31 PM »

I made the exciting decision of not buying both AC and VJ on Friday! OOooohh, ahhhh! I figure I'll get VJ on Friday, wait a few days, and some place like Target or K-Fart or whatever will be selling AC for $89, or if they wanna get all erotic, $87.86. It's not like I'd play both on Friday, anyway.

MACH SPEED TO FRIDAY!
