I hate that song so darn much... It's another one of those songs the Radio stations like to play-to-death.

Finally... the game that started it all is coming back. I want to Father Squaresoft's child. [color=indigo]How do you know Squaresoft is a woman? - Desbreko[/color] [size=1][COLOR=indigo]it's one of those odd type things JC, it's neither but.... um.... he just said that as a comment...-Cloud [/COLOR][/size] No, I'm serious, I want to. And if squaresoft isn't a woman, well... I'll just have to father the children of the producers wives. Or of various squaresoft characters. Either way is fine by me. n_n Oh, and to everyone who hasn't already--GO AND PLAY THE ORIGINAL FINAL FANTASY NOW. I don't want y'all missing out on the real thing. The remake is just that--A remake. You'd better get a taste of the real thing first.

God dammit, one word posts galore. Well, two words, it's still bad. Anyway, this is against the rules... read the rules next time, please, god. It makes my job so much easier.

*shakes head* I'm not the moderator here for no reason. But sometimes it feels that way. -__-; [color=indigo]You just have to remember that people will always have varying oppinions... Of course, neither yours nor theirs will always be right, and sometimes there may not even be a right or wrong... I hope I have brought enlightenment to this thread, even though I know nothing of FFVIII. :twitch: - Desbreko[/color]

Well, the stronger your guys are, the stronger the enemy is. So the best thing to do is to get someone who's not gonna be in your main party, and put him in. Junction every GF and all your good magic to him. Kill off Squall and the other dude and let the guy with all the GFs level up until all your GFs have all abilities learned, and are at level 100. There you go. Revive your regular party members, get rid of the training monkey (who's at Lvl 100. by now, most likely), and go on like normal. Piece of piss.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Solid Snake [/i] [B][color=teal] LOL, that "R" guy was such an inexperienced loser in the last movie. Not acting wise, but his part as an actor.[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] John Cleese + Bond Movies = Blockbuster material :whoops: I look foward to 'Die another day' very much. It's been awhile since 'The world is not enough', and I'm a bit of a fan... Anyway, supposedly this is Pierce Brosnan's last movie as Bond, isn't it? If so, I'd love to see who they have lined up for the next one... *crosses fingers while mumbling Billy Connolly's name*

Adam--It's not 'Crikey!' so much as 'CROIKEEY!'. -Flash

Well... You attack him. And he dies. Or if you're after strategy... I suggest you get the Punishment gunblade if you're still in Balamb, or, If you want, go to Deling City and get the Lionheart. Save, go in with Squall on low health and junctioned to Ifrit with Str+ 20%/40%/60% or something similar. Something strong like Bio or Water on Strength helps to. Just go in and Renzokuken his arse and hope to get a nice finisher. He should go down easily, just remember the golden rule--Let your GFs grow levels, but don't let your party members do the same.

I heard something about one of the main staffers behind the FF series was leaving after FFXII... If that's true, they could hit a slump with FFXIII and/or FFXIV, and the series might end... Just a pessimistic thought.

I think Marvel is going mad with power... X-men... Blade II... Spider-man... The Incredible Hulk... Daredevil... And I know I've heard something about an Iron man movie... Let's just hope the rest of them don't all turn out craptacular. If I see any of these turn into another 'Batman and Robin', I'll kill someone.

[I]Ami was filled with hate. Unchained, unbounded hate, unfocused and confused. The Meridion bombing had set her off, pushed her emotions over the edge. Her fear for hume technology had turned into a deep anger... But she knew that through hate only came hurt and suffering. She clenched her teeth, tensed up, and then released. Amidriena knew that the Humes were not to blame... It was the ones in charge who did such deeds, she was sure of it. She took a few deep breaths, and then set the airship down, a few miles east of Outpost 41. It was visible in the distance, but she didn't feel like being with others right now.. She needed some time to think. Ami opened the airship's hatch, and walked out, standing on the edge of a cliff, overlooking the beach, and the ocean. The setting sun smiled a warm array of light down on her, as she looked over the horizon, towards Verdun...[/I] [IMG]http://www.itsmysite.com/n-sider/images/Amadrienia_Avatar.gif[/IMG] [B]Ami:[/B] [I]At least I got those errands done... But what lies ahead? Will there be more bombings? And if so, who's next? And why?[/I] [I]Ami sighed, and looked down, her gaze catching the Azure calm of the sea. Perhaps it was time to see it for herself. The one continent she had always avoided... Verdun. Hume territory. She looked back up, and squinted at the skyline. In the far distance, She could make out the outline of the landmass...[/I]

[I]Flash smiled at Warlock. He had it all figured out.[/I] Flash: Warlock, don't you know that wearing Sunglasses at night can seriously impare your vision?! [I]At that moment, Flash dived behind his esperanto, opening the bonnet as he falls. He grabs two AKs from the trunk, and gets up. By now, Warlock has unloaded two clips worth of ammunition into the Esperanto, which thankfully, is bullet proof. Flash points his gun over the top of the roof and fires a spray of bullets at Warlock, who quickly gets behind his Mafia Sentinel. There is Silence. Finally, Flash breaks it.[/I] Flash: Listen, I'm not to cause you any trouble, Warlock. I'm with the ATF. Warlock: ATF? Alcahol, Tobacco, Firearms, right? Why are you here, [i]Agent[/i] Flash? Flash: I'm here to investigate the Russians at the docks, nothing more. But if you don't comply with me, then I will be forced to kill and then prosecute you. Warlock: ...Is that so... I'll have you know I'm with the Leone Mafia. Flash: *looks at Sentinel* No s**t. Now, I think we're both here for a similar reason. Looks like these f**kers aren't too friendly... Warlock: Right. So you'll need some support? Flash: Of course. Warlock: What makes you think I'm gonna give it to you? Flash: Well if you don't, I don't think Giovanni Cipriani will be too happy. Warlock: You know Giovanni? Flash: Heh heh... Rookie, you have alot to learn about respect in this City. Now are we in this together or what?

[B]10:05 pm Liberty City Police HQ, Staunton Island[/B] [I]Flash grabs his Magnum up off his desk, and puts it in it's holster. Another callout. But Flash didn't care... Perhaps he'd get something interesting this time. He wanted to know everything about the new gangs that had shown up... Especially the Russians. He remembered himself as a young boy, even as a teenager, fascinated by Soviet milita, and Russia... But that was so long ago. Now he is Agent Flash, with the LCPD ATF division... And he has a job to do. He unlocks his Esperanto, and quickly gets inside, starting the motor and tuning the radio to MSX. He leaves the carpark, and heads towards the Callahan bridge... The traffic is light, and conditions are reasonably clear. He gets off of the Callahan, making it into Triad Territory. He glances at a few Fish vans, before speeding up towards the docks. He passes Joey Leone's, and turns down the next street, passing the Bus depot. He finds a squad car parked next to a building, sirens turned off, but the lights on. He stops his esperanto next to it, and gets out, lighting up a cigarette. He's a compulsive smoker.[/I] Flash: What's up? Officer: The offender here has an illegal firearm... It's very rare. Flash: What? I didn't know there was such a thing. You can get a license for anything in this god forsaken city... Officer: Well, not this, Sir. [I]The Police officer picks up the weapon, and passes it to Flash, who examines it closely. Fuel canister, ammunition gauge, computer targetting and a mode switch. The nozzle on the end resembled those seen on Flamethrowers.[/I] Flash: Looks like a Flamethrower. Where's the.. 'Offender'? Officer: In the car, Sir. [I]Flash walks over to the car, looking inside. In the back seat is a strange looking man. He's shaking and sweating, looking very nervous. His head is balding, and his face gaunt and thin. He wears a grey trenchcoat, and glasses.[/I] Flash: Is this a Flamethrower? It looks high tech. Man: N-n-no... That's a... Type-02 Napalm gun... F-four modes of fire... Flash: Impressive. You're with the SRS Scientists, aren't you? Man: H-how'd you know? Flash: Only the SRS have weapons like this. Now the question is, what are you doing with it out here so late at night? Man: I was... Only delivering it... Flash: Russians. Man: We... s-struck a deal... Flash: So you not only betray your home gang, you're ratting out the Soviets as well? Tsk tsk... You're lucky we're hauling you in... Or else you'd be in for much worse. *to officer* Get him outta here. [I]The officer nods, and gets in the squad car, proceeding to leave the area, and head back to the station, only a few blocks from there. Flash opens the boot of his Esperanto, already filled with various weapons, and throws the Napalm gun in. M16s, AKs, Rocket Launchers... Flash had it all in the trunk. He looked across to the docks, seeing a suprising number of Red and Black vans and trucks. One of the warehouses was lit up, as well. He checked his weapons, and decided to go check it out. But before he crossed the road, he noticed something... A Mafia Sentinel had just pulled up on the kurb, parallel to the dock entrance... A man wearing all black steps out of the car. Flash walks over to him casually. The man sees him, and reaches for his weapon...[/I] Man: Who are you? Flash: Agent Flash, Liberty City ATF. The question is, who are you?

Futurama is simply awesome. Fry's stupidity, the Professor's senility, Zoidbergs... Zoidbergness.. "You still have Zoidberg... [i]You all[/i] still have Zoidberg!"

[B]2:32pm Hepburn Heights[/B] Yardie: So wat be all dis talk 'bout dem Ruskies invadin' di docks? [i]Perro Grande, a leading member of the Diablos is discussing important matters with a Yardie representitive over the phone.[/i] Perro: Los Rusos have taken the east side.. Portland docks. Los Leones are getting uptight, and the Triads are jumpy as well... mucho trouble, amigo. Yardie: Caw, yuh dun know wat drubble is. Wez got dem Yakuza on da rise, wit de Columbians returning di Pan Lantic site, rite? But if'ats licensed to de Zaibatsu, den we in fo some serious problems. And wez gonna be stuck smack dab in de middle. Perro: Lay low, amigo. Let the gangs fight. We not get involved, we not get capped. Yardie: Wez be laying low aight. But wez gotta stick 'gether, watch ch'others backs. Perro: Bueno, Bueno. We're sending a shipment of arms-- [i]A bullet slams into the phone box, knocking the line out. Perro jumps back, drawing his own .45, and looking around. Before he even sees it coming, a black Esperanto slams into him, knocking him across a row of benches, and into a brick wall. He lies in a pool of blood, coughing and spluttering. The esperanto's driver side door opens, and a man steps out. Black trenchcoat, slicked back black hair, and a cigarette placed between his lips. He takes it out of his mouth and throws it on the ground as he walks towards the crippled Diablos.[/i] Flash: Well well, if it isn't Perro Grande. I thought you died in the Hepburn Heights SPANK bust a few years back.. Perro: **** you, Flash.. Flash: Charming. [i]Flash pulls his right arm up, aiming his Colt Python Magnum at Perro's head. He was about to pull the trigger, when he heard shouting, and the stomping of boots.. He turned around, only to see a mass grouping of Diablos, all armed with Baseball bats and Uzis... His expression changed to one of dread, and he cussed under his breath, and began to raise his hands.[/i] Diablos #1: We got you now, Flash. Diablos #2: Yeah, this time you ain't busting nobody, híbrido. [i]Flash hears the squealing of tires not far off, and grins. He laughed, and pointed his gun foward, at the Diablos, who quickly return the favour.[/i] Flash: I'm gonna fire one shot, and you'll all be dead. Diablos #2: Bullshit. We gonna kill you, then turn you into the ATF, Senor. They'll know you're a double agent. Flash: I doubt it. [i]Several Black Kurumas shriek to a stop behind the diablos, and 4 FBI agents get out of each. Armed with AK-47s, they quickly mow down the gang members, while Flash turns to Perro behind him, and unloads a single bullet into the gangsta's forehead. In a few seconds, it's all over. 8 Diablos dead, and not a single other casualty. Very good, considering the record of civilian deaths in this city. An FBI agent walks up to Flash, obviously a rookie by the look on his face.[/i] FBI Agent: Are you all right, Sir? Flash: Never better. But get here quicker next time, those bitches almost had me... FBI Agent: Sir, were we really dispatched for self defence from an act that [i]you[/i] instigated? Flash: None of your business, rookie. [i]Flash pushes the rookie aside, and walks quickly to his Esperanto. He guns the motor, and leaves in a hurry, leaving the FBI rookie standing in a cloud of dust...[/i]

Where are you from, Red XIII? I'm refering to the Sky 1 in the Aus/NZ region.

Hey, don't bash Sky One... Well, ever since they stopped playing Lexx, I watched alot less... But Jerry springer repeats and the C-Grade porno they play at midnight is [i]fine by me.[/i]

The convoy of Russian trucks and vans roared down the main street of Staunton Island, causing a few Yardies to turn their heads. This was unexpected. They were heading east, for Portland. They had come from Shoreside, or more specifically, the tunnel connecting to the mainland. They'd finally arrived, battered and bruised. This was their refuge. Liberty City. Flashback. The events that took place 7 days ago in Carsor city. The city was totally under Gang rule. The gang known as the 'Zaibatsu', controlled by 'Z', was no doubt in control of the city itself. There were other gangs; The Krishnas, the Yakuza, the SRS, the Russians... But the dark reach of the Zaibatsu spread across the entirety of Carsor city. If you didn't have the repsect, you were dead. There were a few who dared to make no alliances, no friends... But none of them lived to tell their tale. The other gangs were tired of Z's dominance over the city. Alliances were made, and truces called. Most of the gangs bound together, and the dominant ones were the Russians and the Yakuza. The SRS Scientists made a large contribution to the cause as well, supplying technology and weapons to the 'Soviet Yakuza'. It was a glorious sight to see, the day the raid happened. Hundreds of Russian and Yakuza gang cars stormed into the Zaibatsu's Island hideout, 'the Village'. Glorious in its own cataclysmic beauty. Russian Car-bombs ruptured the walls of Zaibatsu structures, while Yakuza armed with Flamethrowers and Molotov's turned the place into a living hell. But it didn't last long. Zaibatsu arrived from the Residental and Industrial district quickly, and took the Soviet Yakuza from behind. In a few minutes, most of the attacking party was dead. But by now, the military had gotten involved. The Zaibatsu made a stronghold out of the Village, which was contstantly under assault by the army. The Zaibatsu had nowhere left to run--Aside from their 'secret exit', via an Overpass across the Red Neck's trailer park. Z ordered a retreat of the Zaibatsu, and, while exiting, blew the city's water plant. The Russians and Yakuza, broken apart by the incident, also left the now Military controlled Carsor city. The Red Necks took over most of the abandoned territory, fighting constant land wars with the Loonies and Krishna. The SRS base was targetted by the Army, and quickly overrun. Many Scientists escaped the city, however, taking out the power plant just to piss city hall off as they left. But there aren't many places for a mass wave of criminals to flee to. But, there is one place. Liberty City. All the gangs thought they were being pretty smart, but had no idea they were all heading for the same place. The Russians decided to drive in, while the Yakuza came in onboard a massive tanker stolen from the Carsor city docks. Z rounded up all the Zaibatsu he could, and brought them in on boats and in massive Cargo planes, landing at Francis International. The SRS drove in via the new Portland/mainland bridge, now under their control. As you can imagine, most of the gangs in Liberty are less than happy with the new arrivals. Some, however, are pleased. Asuka, in control of the Liberty Yakuza, was most pleased to see Hiro, leader of the Carsor Yakuza, and an old friend of her brother. The Leone Mafia is worried about the Russians, taking control of the Portland docks. But, with the Mafia focussing on the Russians, the Triads have gotten power hungry. This has shaken up the Diablos, who are forming an alliance with the Yardies, who are spooked about the massive Yakuza growth. However, the Carsor Yakuza has brought information about the Zaibatsu, who have already begun to inhabit the southern and western side of Staunton Island. But with the Yakuza worrying about this, the Columbian Cartel have snuck back into the Pan Lantic construction site. However, the buildings currently under construction are contracted... To Z of the Zaibatsu. And they have been, ever since they were first started. But the Columbian Cartel have no idea of this. And with most of them gone from Shoreside vale, the Red Jacks and South Side Hoods have stepped up the severity of their turf wars, with the Nines now expanding, and finally getting a foothold in the street gang ladder. And the SRS scientists have set up a base of their own, at the Observatory over looking Shoreside vale. And on top of all of this, a once abandoned Oil-rig has shown signs of activity... But not of oil drilling. Things in Liberty City are heating up. Gangs are looking for new recruits, and crime is at an all time high. The police are losing control, and the CIA has been dispatched. The ATF branch of the LCPD has been majorly rehauled, and given alot more power. They need it. City hall is powerless, and the stealthy Zaibatsu have all ready dug their claws into the city's political system. Welcome to Liberty City. The worst place in America. Standard sign-up procedure...

Hey James, I gave 'Southern Sun' a listen... And what can I say, I love it! I haven't been a fan of Oakenfold in the past, but hey, things are looking up. ^^

There was a total fireworks ban in the Black hills area... Could have been the whole state even. But anyway, my July 4th was therefore spent waving sparklers. Woo-hoo.

Anti, in future, PM this sorta thing to me. I want to hear your opinions, but they really shouldn't be posted here. I'll take what you've said into account, however.

The trick to FF8 isn't to level up your characters, but rather your GFs... If you can't beat Adel, well, you might just have to start again, and make sure you have all GFs and the Lionheart. (I like getting it in Deling City in disk one)
