Desbreko

[color=indigo]Well, I was really little when I saw it, and I don't remember too much, but I can tell you this... I loved watching my brothers play video games when I was little. I loved watching them play games more than pretty much anything else. I loved just about anything related to video games. I would sit and stare at the instruction manuals before I could read, and just look at the artwork. But the Super Mario Bros. move... I was totally bored after the first 15 minutes. I don't remember a whole lot about it, but I do remember wanting it to end, and that it really wasn't all that much like the games at all. I think the thing I remember most about it were the Goombas, which they totally butchered. Over the last year or so, I've toyed around with the idea of getting some friends together and renting it so that I can fairly judge it myself, and against others' oppinions, but I've never quite been able to bring myself to do it. I'm not sure that I want to do it...[/color] [color=seagreen]Edit: Hmm...funky moments... Maybe I will have to rent it afterall. :naughty:[/color]

[color=indigo]Woah...looks almost like Majora's Mask, lol. (That moth thing in the top screen shot). And is it just me, or does it seem like the graphics are improving with each new batch of screen shots? Seems like the more I see, the more impressed I am with the cel shaded graphics, and how good they're turning out to look.[/color]

[color=indigo][b][size=3]Possible Spoilers[/size][/b] You get Chocobuckle by using the Enemy Skill Lv.4 Suicide (which can be learned from squirrel-like enemies called Mus, right around that area), on a Chocobo that's on a level that's a multiple of four. Chocobuckle isn't a very useful attack, though, as its damage is based off the number of times you've run away. So, unless you run away a whole bunch, it's not going to do squat in the way of damage. And I really wouldn't try fighting a Midgar Zolom when you first get there, unless you've leveled up a [i]whole[/i] bunch... At least not before you save your game, anyway. I tried even after leveling up a pretty good amount (Cloud had Climhazzard, his second Level 2 Limit Break already), and I still failed miserably. It was taking out a party member with like, two or three normal attacks, and then Beta (also an Enemy Skill) would kill all three of them in one hit. Oh, and another thing. Make sure you talk to the Chocobos out in the pen in the Chocobo Ranch. If you do, you'll get your first Summon Materia, Choco/Mog.[/color]

[color=indigo]Interesting...I hope this ends up going through in the US and elsewhere, too. And a controller would also be nice, as long as I can still use the keyboard for typing messages and such.[/color]

[color=indigo]Try to stay on topic, people. There is another thread about FFX-2 already, which can be found [url=http://otakuboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15322&perpage=20&pagenumber=1]here[/url]. As for a FF spin-off, I think it'd be cool if they made a game about the War of the Magi, from FFVI. It could explain more about the Statues and the Espers, and end with you saving the world from destruction at the end of the war, with the Espers retreating into their own world behind the Sealed Gate. It'd be really cool if you got to play as the Espers, and have low level magic as your main attacks, with more powerful spells requiring magic points. You could have different Espers, some with black magic, some with white, and some with effect magic, so it'd be like you'd have different types of mages, almost. The only thing that'd be hard to do would be summons, because the characters you'd be playing as [i]are[/i] the summons, lol. :cross:[/color]

[size=1]Bleh...sorry for not posting for so long, but I've been busy with other things, *cough* SMS walkthrough *cough* and it also seems that James and Boba Fett (the other two people in the group that I'm in) don't seem to be posting much. So, I'm kinda alone... :( And if you're wondering, the Koopa Bros. are from Paper Mario.[/size] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [color=indigo]As the trio walk through the streets of Onett, looking for anything out of the ordinary, Samus detects an unusual life form on her suit's radar. She casually glances behind herself, and sees a shadowed figure ducking into a side street. She whispers to Mario and Link, as she turns her attention back in the direction she's walking. Samus: I think we're being followed. [i]Link sighs.[/i] Link: Shall we try to lose them, or capture them? Mario: If-a we capture them, maybe we can get-a some information out of them? Samus: Good idea. Follow me back into this alley. I'll try and track them on my radar, so we can surprise them. [i]The three of them dodge into an alley, and sneak back around the way they came, following Samus, who leads them through tristing alleys, all the while looking about with her X-Ray Scope.[/i] Samus: Blast it, I've lost them. They can't be far, though. [i]The group stops for a minute, trying to decide on what to do, when Samus suddenly looks to her side, through the wall his her X-Ray Scope.[/i] Samus: I've got them! There are five of them now, all heading this way, and fast! Quick, take cover. [i]Just as they duck behind various crates and piles of rubbage, five Koopas round the corner of the alley that they're in, and trot down towards where the heroes are hiding. Four of the Koopas are normal, green shelled Koopas. The other, which seemed to be the leader of the group, had a yellow shell and headband, the same one that had escaped back in the Mushroom Kingdom. As the five pass by where Link, Samus, and Mario are hiding, Samus fires and shot from her Wave Beam through the stack of crates she's hiding behind, and blows away one of the green shelled Koopas. The other four immediately turn, as Link and Mario come up and upon them. Mario jumps and lands on another of the green Koopas, knocking it out of its shell, while Link lunges forward and bashes his shield hard against another Koopa's shell, sending it careening off a wall and head first into a metal garbage can, resulting in a loud banging thud. Mario quickly snatches the Koopa shell from the ground in front of his, and throws it at the two undamaged Koopas. It strikes the green Koopa squarely in the head, knocking it out cold, but the yellow shelled Koopa side steps out of the way of the shell. As Samus stands up from behind her cover, she blasts the shell-less Koopa with another shot of her Wave Beam, obliterating it with one shot from the powerful energy beam, and then somersaults over the head of the yellow Koopa, now the only one remaining. It stands in the middle of the alley looking around at the three figures that took out his comrades in mere seconds.[/i] Link: Checkmate. [i]Link smirks, as the Koopa looks at gun, nozzle, and sword all aimed at him from various sides.[/i] Mario: Tell us what you know about-a the princess! Samus: ...Or else. [i]Samus begins charging up her Wave Beam, her power armor begining to pulse and glow with the built up energy.[/i] Koopa: Uh...yeah... Mario: Who are you-a working for, eh? [i]The Koopa sniffs and looks at them with defiance it his eyes, glaring at each of them in turn.[/i] Koopa: I am one of the infamous Koopa Bros. Our loyalty lies with Bowser! Link: You couldn't have gotten the order to off Mario from Boswer. He's locked up. Samus: Give us the truth... Who did you get this from? [i]She holds out the piece of paper with Mario's picture on it, and the order to terminate him.[/i] Koopa: I'll never tell you anything! [i]With that, the yellow shelled Koopa throws down a smoke bomb, and dives past Link. Samus fires her charged up shot, but misses, her vision obstructed by the smoke, not having time you switch to her Thermal Visor. Link easily deflects the shot, which ended up coming at him, with his Mirror Shield, and spins around in the direction the Koopa dove. Looking down the alley, however, reveals nothing. Looking all about, up, down, and all around him as the smoke clears, he sees nothing.[/i] Samus: He's not on my radar. It's like he just disappeared into thin air. [i]Mario and Link cough from the smoke, their eyes watering slightly.[/i] Mario: We-a shall have to chase him the old fashioned way! [i]The three dash down the alley at top speed, alert and ready for any surprise attacks, and also looking for any signs of the missing Koopa.[/i][/color]

[color=indigo]Hmm...seeing as I haven't played Metroid Prime yet, I can't really tell you that it's a good game, but from what I've seen and heard about it, it's looking to be a fantastic game. Apparently, Retro Studios has managed to make it feel a lot like the previous Metroid games, only in a first person view, so if you liked the first three Metroid games, they're saying you'll like Prime. If I were you, I'd wait till it comes out, and play it, before deciding if you want to buy it or another game. It is only about two weeks before it comes out. Personally, I'm confident enough that it's going to be good that I reserved a copy.[/color]

[color=indigo]To go to the GCN menu, you can also just hold in the A Button when you turn the system on, if you have a game in it. It'll make the GCN logo spin around and get really skinny, until it brings you to the menu. I just do this, because I'm too lazy to bother with taking the game out or opening the disc cover. Reading the manuals that come with systems can be handy. :D ...Sometimes I think I'm the only one that actually reads the manuals and precautions booklet. :cross:[/color]

[color=indigo]Bah. That's a completely different kind of game. FFXI is a MMORPG (Massively Multi-player Online RPG), and FFX-2 is just another 1-P quest like the other FF games. FFX-2 couldn't possibly fill the gap that FFXI would leave, should it not be released outside of Japan, because the two are completely different types of RPGs. Sure, FFX-2 may end up being a great game, but you don't get to interact with other live players in it, and go off questing with your friends.[/color]

[color=indigo]You mean Kakariko Village, right? But yeah, those Cuccos can be vicious. And they must also be kind of magical, since they can go through walls. :whoops: Here's my favorite picture of a Cucco that I've seen. It looks so innocent, but we know the truth... :smirk:[/color]

[color=indigo]Yeah, head south from Kalm, and you'll go through a valley and into the Grasslands area, where you'll find the Chocobo Ranch. There you can buy some greens, to feed to a Chocobo to keep it busy while you're trying to catch it, like Devlin said. You can also buy a Chocobo Lure Materia for 2000 Gil, which will make you run into Chocobos when you get into a battle while running around on some Chocobo tracks. (Some can be found right around the Chocobo Ranch). Once you catch a Chobobo, head across the swamp, avoiding the shadow of the snake (which is called a Midgar Zolom). From there, you should be able to find your way without too much difficulty.[/color]

[color=indigo]If I were in a situation like that, where I was actually afraid that they were going to seriously hurt me, I would have pulled out one of my knives and cut one of the buggers. From the sound of it, the rest probably would have run away at that point, and when the cops showed up, I could claim self defence and that I was afraid for my life. (Being surrounded and watching my freinds get punched, and so on). I'd have to clean the stupid blood off my knife afterwards, but I'm not one to take crap like that. And, it would teach them a lesson.[/color] [color=seagreen]Edit: Oh, yeah... And afterwards, I'd start wearing my big, nine inch long kukri on my hip, to discourage any retaliation. It's not illegal if it's not concealed! :naughty:[/color]

Actually, I got permission from Flash. :toothy: Don't worry, I'm not staying. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [color=indigo]Desbreko awakes from the pain of slamming into the wall as the ball of ki flung him up and off the ground. Desbreko: *cough* ...Note to self: Stay away from Neil... He stands up, and stumbles around a bit, and then falls over, face down in a mud puddle. Neil: Damn straight. The group goes back inside, leaving Desbreko to wallow in the mud. After a few minutes, however, he manages to stand back up, and stumble through the hole in the wall. He heads up to the control room, and turns off the intercom so no one in the house will be able to hear. Flash: Hah! Couldn't handle a lot of plushies, eh? Desbreko: Shaddup. Desbreko unties Flash, and tries to wipe off some of the mud. He then heads back down into the house. Desbreko: You people are sick! Sick and twisted, and I pity Flash for having to run this whole thing! And with that, a maimed and bloodied Desbreko stumbles out the door, and away from the house as fast as he can go.[/color]

Heheheh... It's nice when you know the person running the show. :naughty: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [color=indigo]...a plushie with long, light brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. It's holding a small, pointy stick in one hand, and a half eaten carrot in the other. Ginny: o_0 ...That looks kinda like Desbreko... A knock is heard at the front door, and the housemates look up and over at the door. Craig, stumbling towards the kitchen, opens the door and tries to focus on the person outside. The person steps through the door, past Craig, into the house. ?????: My, my, this place certainly is a mess. All the eyes in the room dart back and fourth from the plushie in the fridge, to the person standing next to them, looking around the room. Both of them are carrying pointy sticks. Just then, Neil walks into the room, looks at the new person, and then at the plushie that's now dashing across the floor towards it's human counterpart. Neil: ...Who the hell are you? Desbreko: I'm the Man With the Pointy Stick, also known as Desbreko. I heard Big Brother is in a bit of a pickle. Mini-Ginny: I guesh you could say that, heheheh. Desbreko: Right... And with that, Desbreko stabs his stick into the nearest wall, forming a door with a staircase behind it which he walks through, and promptly closes behind him. [i]What the hell?! AGH! Get of me you **** *** ** **** *******!!![/i] Lots of thumping, screaming, bashing, and other unpleasant noises are heard over the intercom, and then the doorway opens again. Desbreko walks back into the room, with bites, scratches, bruises, and bits of plushies covering him. Mini-Ginny: Mweheheheh... Desbreko glares at the Mini-Ginny, and stalks into the bathroom to clean himself up. Neil: That guy is seriously ****** up. Kenna: Woah...that's really saying something when Neil says that, because he's pretty ****** up himself. Neil raises his hand, and blasts Kenna into the wall, just as Desbreko comes back out of the bathroom. Desbreko: You shouldn't hit ladies, you know? Desbreko raises his stick, and jabs Neil in the butt. He turns around quickly, and blasts the wall that Desbreko just disappeared through. Mini-Neil: You got jabbed in the ***! Hahahaha! Neil kicks the plushie across the room, hitting Kenna in the head as she gets up. Then more screaming, swearing, and thumping can be heard over the intercom, followed by a shriek of rage, and a pointy stick breaks down through the ceiling, a plushie impaled on it. Asuka: NNNOOOOO!!! My plushies! Just then, a large mass of plushies fly out a second story window, and land in the pool with a loud, collective splash. [i]Couldn't even handle a lot of plushies?! Hah! Just to teach you a lesson, I think I'll leave you tied up for a bit![/i] As Asuka rushes outside to save the drowning plushies, Desbreko comes back down from the control room. Mini-Ginny: Aw, you spoiled all of my fun! [i]Damnit, Desbreko, get your *** back up here right now and untie me, you son of a *****!!![/i] Desbreko: Damn, tape must have come off. Desbreko walks over to the odd couch that was being used as a barricade, and pushes it back over against a wall before flopping down on his back. Desbreko: Dang, those plushies are vicious little buggers! Neil watches as Desbreko lays down and closes his eyes. Then he builds up a large sphere of ki, and launches it at Desbreko. He snaps his eyes open as he senses the immense ball of energy flying at him, and starts to utter one word... Desbreko: Shi-- ...before he's blown away, out through the wall, and lands next to the pool to see Asuka standing over him, not happy about what he did to her plushies. He looks over, and again, doesn't even get to finish the word... Desbreko: Shi-- ...before the plushies swarm him.[/color]

[color=indigo]Nope, that's not it. Remember, going right takes you out of the Lost Woods, so you can only go up, left, and down. And, uh...how would you go "center"? There's only four ways off the screen, and those are up, down, left, and right. o_0[/color] [color=seagreen]Nope. Remember, I'm talking about the original Zelda. I'll give you a hint: it's only four directions. And remember, also, that you can't go right. :)[/color]

[color=indigo]If we're talking best class to get through the game, well, I'd say fighter, because you've got powerful attacks early on in the game. And then, when you get a class change and the fighter becomes a knight, you also have white magic available for healing. As for my favorite class, though, I'd have to go with white mage, simply because I like white mages. :p[/color]

[color=indigo]Yep, Mario actually did start off as a bad guy, heh. He imprisoned Donkey Kong in Donkey Kong Jr., and you played as DK Jr. trying to rescue DK from Mario. In the original Donkey Kong, he was called Jumpman, so the first game with "Mario" was DK Jr.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Vegitto4 [/i] [B]I have not fouynd a definition in the dictionary for normal.[/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo][b]Normal[/b] - nor mal adj. 1. Conforming with, adhering to, or constituting a norm, standard, pattern, level, or type; typical: [i]normal room temperature; one's normal weight; normal diplomatic relations.[/i] :p When you're talking about normal among how people act, dress, think, what have you, there simply is no [i]real[/i] normal. Everyone is unique in some way or another. "Normal," as most people think of it, is what happens to be popular at the time. So, in other words, whatever the majority of people are doing at the time. It seems that people that are worried about "being normal" are, when it comes down to it, worried about what other people think about them, and as such, they try to do anything they can to be like other people so as not to be thought bad of. Hence you have large groups of people, acting basically the same, and that becomes the new "normal" when the group becomes large enough. So, yeah, that's basically what it comes down to, I think: People that are scared of what other people think of them. I, myself, pretty much totally ignore what's "normal" because I really don't care what other people think about me. And, as such, I tend to stand out from most people, and I'm, from what I can tell, considered "weird" among other things by quite a few people. (Granted, I'm not the best at reading people's expressions and such, but sometimes it's hard to miss). Coincidence? I don't think so.[/color]

[color=indigo]Well, I went and reserved a copy of Metroid Prime today (haven't seen anywhere to reserve Fusion), and I'm getting quite excited. They didn't have a demo disc with a playable demo, though, and I was really looking forward to getting to play it, even if only for a few minutes. That was disappointing, but overall, I'm still very excited, and I can't wait till I can go pick it up. This game looks totally awesome, both in terms of gameplay and graphics! I can't wait to see what new beams and other power-ups have been added, and also how the old ones, like the Spazer and Wave Beam, have been updated. This is definitely the game that I'm most excited about this year. As for Metroid Fusion, well, I'm excited about it, but not as much as Prime. I'm still trying to decide which to play first, though I'm leaning towards playing Prime first. I suppose I could play through them both at the same time, though... But anyway, I just hope that Metroid Fusion is as good as Super Metroid. From what I've seen and heard of the game, though, I don't think I have anything to worry about. :)[/color]

[color=indigo]Smart-*** answer: ...Isn't that what almost all video games are? I mean, really, take a look at Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Final Fantasy, and other games... When you think about it, almost all of them are just things running around doing stuff. Now, the thing that makes these games fun is story, character development, and a host of other things. Just like with other RPGs, those same characteristics make Pokémon games fun. With that having been said, this thread is spam, as it really doesn't have any point. Thread Closed[/color]

[color=indigo]Uh...switches? To get the Wing Cap, all you need to do is get 10 Power Stars. When you do, there'll be a beam of light shining down in the foyer of the castle. When you look up into it, you'll be warped to the Wing Cap level. (The beam of light disappears after the first time you enter the level, but you can still go back into it by looking up where the light was shining down from). Then all you have to do is fly down onto the top of the tower sticking up in the sky, and Ground Pound the red switch. That's the only switch involved with getting the Wing Cap.[/color]

[color=indigo]Here's my results for Shy's quiz... [b]#1 James "Smarter AND more powerful than you" #2 Sepiroth " Cool" #3 kuja "Kuji - Wuji" #4 Forte "..." #5 Noryoko Angelcry "The Ultimate Gamer" #6 Cera "The Cynic" #7 Ginnylyn "Digimon Goddess, Watch out for her mod rod" #8 Transtic Nerve "Gackt!" #9 Babygirl "Jedi Master" #10 Shyguy "Sorry, you should have tried harder" #11 Queen Asuka "Otaku and all around nice person" #12 Lady Macaidoh "One of Adam's Angel's" #13 Thimoc "Legendary Spammer" #14 Newbie "My power level is higher than yours!"[/b] ...Kuja is a bit high up there... I guess that tells me that all quizzes are going to be somewhat flawed. :toothy:[/color]

[color=indigo]Lol...I'm Cera. I'm not actually surprised at all, seeing as I seem to think kind of the same way as her, from what I know of her... On my second time through, I got...James. Again, not surprised... I have to say, if I'm like Cera and James, then I don't consider myself that bad off. :)[/color]

[color=indigo]Ah, okay. That would be the Moon's Tear, then. Okay, in the original The Legend of Zelda, how do you get through the Lost Woods?[/color]

[color=indigo]Hmm...I dunno, then. You get the Pegasus Boots in Level 3: Key Cavern, and I know I've used all of the Small Keys that I've gotten in there. It can't be anything all that important, though, since you can get through the dungeon without using it. It's probably just some Rupees or some items, like some Bombs or something. I'll have to look around and see if I can't find out where it is you use that last Small Key.[/color]
