Ugh, I had some trouble reading that... X/ I, too, saw "rset" as "reset", for example. I've heard about this theory before, but it would drive me absolutely crazy if people would all of a sudden start to write like that! 8( Nevermind the theories, spelling [I]is[/I] important - if not for anything else than my sanity! ;P

[color=DarkOrchid]Melinoë prepared herself for the oncoming fight as the Atlanteans approached them. Tritonias and other members of the Council stayed behind while their bodyguards walked towards the Legionnaires and Algaebra, loading their amber-powered bayonets. [B]"I was suspecting a traitor among the workers here. I should have known it was you, Algaebra, as you were never truly loyal to our cause"[/B], Tritonias said, his voice booming from behind the mask. Now that Melinoë had a better look at it, it seemed as if it were made out of amber. The mask featured a vaguely reptilian face, and Melinoë had a short flash-like vision of the "Big Amber-Eye". [I]So the beast is more than just a myth[/I], Melinoë deduced. [I]The mask reveals it all.[/I] [B]"What comes to you, Blue-Skyers"[/B], Tritonias continued, turning his masked face towards the Legionnaires. [B]"You were fairly warned, and now you die."[/B] The guards charged at them, but in a split moment the first three were cut down by the lunge of Acheron, Melinoë's demonic scythe-whip. [B]"Have you ever tried to kill a demon before?"[/B] Melinoë asked ominously, tilting her head slightly to the side, narrowing her dissimilar eyes. The icy blue whip twirled around her. Melinoë's aura of fear made the Atlantean thugs flee in panic. The members of the Council cowered behind Tritonias' mighty body, and even the Highcounsellor seemed to shudder. [B]"That's not fair!"[/B] Tetros groaned unseriously, lowering his underwater gun. [B]"I didn't even get to shoot anybody!"[/B] [B]"Surrender now, and we'll let the people of Atlantis decide on your fate"[/B], Liquid commanded. All the guards dropped their weapons, to much dismay of Tritonias. [B]"Why would they judge their leaders? You are just Blue-Skyers with no evidence!" [/B]Tritonias laughed nervously. [B]"You seem to have forgotten these"[/B], Algaebra said, holding the three talismans that she had grabbed during the short confrontation. [B]"You deceitful mollusk!"[/B] Tritonias growled and grabbed a bayonet from the ground. A loud bang echoed through the workshop, then the voice of the pieces of the shattered mask as they fell to the ground. The Highcounsellor's distorted, mutated face reflected shock and surprise, as sparkling ambery blood started to run down from the bullet-wound on his forehead. [B]"Vulcora..."[/B] he whispered before he fell to the ground dead. [B]"Hmm, I got to shoot somebody after all"[/B], Tetros said grimly, aiming his gun at the other counsellors and their guards. [I]Vulcora?[/I] Melinoë wondered. [I]Whatever that is, Tritonias's whole body seemed to be infused with amber. No wonder he was so muscular and powerful...[/I] It wasn't long before the Amberist Raynor and the other rebels flooded the place, capturing the counsellors and their guards. It was now in their hands what happened to Tritonias' followers. The Legionnaires still had to figure out how to get the submarine back to the surface, but Melinoë gladly left that part to Tetros and Liquid.[/color]

As soon as I wrote my previous post, I asked myself "why bother?". You've obviously been "touched by the holy spirit" which has rendered you incapable of any sensical discussion. It's great you've found happiness and salvation, but you still don't have the power to judge others. If you do, you'll end up having a very lonely life with just you and your god, because who could really put up with listening to your preaching? You go on and on about how everybody's going to hell because they say "shucks", yet you fail to question your own knowledge about the issue. Among the things I've learned about what a good Christian should be is [I]humble[/I], and you lack humbleness completely. So, why do I bother? I honestly don't know.

Sure, Hanabishi Recca, just skip everything else I said in that post. XP I was only mocking your words, trying to show how your logic fails. Whatever the case, [B]you[/B] cannot say who goes to Heaven or Hell or wherever, you don't possess that power nor the knowledge! As far as you or I [I]know[/I], this world could be created by pink puffs who just wanted to have fun! It's a [I]completely[/I] different matter on what we believe. And since everybody believes different things, there isn't one whole truth. So, it is [I]not[/I] that easy. :P

Heh. Funny. Not a great April Fool's joke, because nobody will fall for it. Also, there's much truth in it, for example: [quote]You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.[/quote] This is really the picture we Europeans get from the media about America's habit of solving problems. And what do you know, this thread has already gotten [B]two[/B] bombing threats against UK. XP

Yeah, definitely an idea worth developing. ;D Like Gavin said, there could be several "reporters" from different sections of OB sending you stuff. There could also be an ongoing comic strip if somebody wants to take a shot at that (I'm thinking DW with his Slackers in Slacks). But it's a very nice way to compile things that are going on in here, since I personally don't usually even visit every section. *thumbs up*

Uh, they're just... taking a break? :/ But I've got a [B]suggestion[/B]: why don't we shorten this challenge so that everybody has to take part in [B]three[/B] of the four games in the Retro Arcade. So, it'd mean there's only one more post for each of you (except Solo, who has two), then we move on to the Team Council. Yes? Yes! ;D

[QUOTE=Hanabishi Recca]Yeah, I have. But I know it is wrong. I have in my younger years. But I know now. Cussing (the words) are false. That is what I think. I think saying shucks is wrong too. Because it has no meaning. It is a vain word. And I got the explanation from Hebrew. [B]Witch[/B] is what the old testament was written in.[/QUOTE] You said "witch" when you were supposed to say "which"! It's a vain word, thus you go to Hell! You just commited an act that is as bad as murder, so there's no salvation for you! Ha! ... Can't you really see the lunacy of your claims? You are practically playing God now, defining who goes to Heaven and who don't. Anyone who equals "shucks" to murder is obviously living in his or her own little La-la Land, and could really use a serious reality check. I'm going to question your interpretation of Bible, even though I'm not a theologist - but neither are you. [quote=Hanabishi Recca](KJV) James 2:10 - 11 For Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. (next verse) For also he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. Now the AMP is better to me. (AMP) James 2:10 - 11 sor whosoever keeps the law [as a] whole but stumbles and offends in one [single instance] has become guilty of [breaking] all of it. (next verse (This is great stuff)) For He who said, you shall not commit adultery, but do kill, you have become guilty of transgressing the [whole] Law.[/quote] Where does these verses say anything about "sin" or "going to Hell", if I may ask? They are about laws of a long-gone civilization. You should follow the laws and regulations of your [I]own[/I] country, not one that hasn't existed in millenniums. Bible has many good, universal and timeless moral codes, but not [I]every[/I] word written to it is valid anymore. Using your own brains is more than allowed now, it's actually recommended. Honestly, your religion is seemingly eating up your sense of reality. So I'd advice you to think about if you want to live in this time or 2000 years in the past.

[QUOTE=Desbreko][color=#4B0082] That sucks, because they sound like a lot of fun to fight.[/color][/QUOTE] Not really, no... X/ I had to do some serious spheregrid-activating before I could even take out Dark Valefor - [spoiler]the only way to attain Valefor's second overdrive and visit Besaid village altogether after the very beginning[/spoiler]. XP As a reward for winning the Dark Aeons, you get some equipment with Break Limit- and Ribbon-abilities customized to them, and after beating all ten, you get to fight the hardest fiend in the whole game, [spoiler]Penance[/spoiler]. So for everybody who are up to the challenge it's a good thing, I personally didn't bother to even challenge anybody except Dark Valefor. What goes to their looks, the same Dark Aeons are featured in the sequel FFX-2, only they don't have even a percentage of the difficulty of the originals. [B]Dodeca:[/B] you can find Dark Anima from [spoiler]Mt. Gagazet by redoing Wakka's blitzball-throwing challenge inside the caves. After completing it, Anima will appear at the base of the mountain, after which you should probably avoid directly teleporting to the area unless you want to take her on.[/spoiler]

Being gay, I naturally attract females like bees to honey. ;D In my teen years, when I was still insecure about my sexuality, I couldn't get women to be interested in me at all, but now when I mention that I'm gay to a girl, she usually goes all "eeeh, that's so adorable and cute!" XP Aside that, my boyfriend tells me that he adores my eyes (deep green) and smile (when my teeth show). He's also mentioned my bubbly personality and cheery mood to be endearing. Another guy that had a crush on me commented about my cuteness. I'm relatively short for a guy, my body's lithe and my face is a bit child-like, even though I'm almost 22. So there. Enough bragging? ;P

[QUOTE=Ai.sAkUrA.chan]well, i'm suppose to be christian, as my whole family is. but, sometimes, i'm not. awkard...like i'll have my own weird believes and begin to wonder if God loves us all, why do we suffer so much? like epidemics, natural disasters, wars etc. those are some stuff that make me really think. yea, and there's sometimes when my whole family goes to church and "forget" to invite me...yea, that's a little strange there. hmm...yea, that's about it, i guess..[/QUOTE] Don't worry, everybody have at some point doubted their religions - even priests and reverends. It's a natural thing, and a good thing in my opinion, because that shows you haven't taken everything for granted, i.e. you're not a gullible fool. I see lots of radical faith and fundamentalism in this thread, but I assume it's only because most of the members here are so young. As you gain experience in life, you'll see that not everything goes "by the book" (actually, very little does). You might have to go to war and kill somebody. You might lose all your relatives in a natural disaster. You might become an alcoholist. You might fall in love with a member of same sex. You might marry a muslim and convert to one. Things happen in life that make you change your views, have no doubt about that. That's why it'd be better to keep your mind open and tolerant for different things and not live enclosed to the ideals that your parents have taught you. This is how I think.

[quote name='Anime Pet][FONT=Georgia][COLOR=Indigo]I'm in a dilemna, since I'm trying to beat Shadow Hearts III before KHII comes out (NOT gonna happen!) and trying to beat KHII before AC came out....... :animecry: What do I do?!?![/COLOR'][/FONT][/quote] Why push it? Can't you just switch between the two games? In my opinion it's mindless to rush through games, because that way you'll just lose half the fun of playing them. ;) And you can't include Advent Children to that order of things to play, because it's a movie. With that logic you can't watch [I]any[/I] movie or tv-show before you've played through the two games. ;P [quote name='_Kenshin_']FFXII is a remake of another game?[/quote] No, it's an individual part of the series, just like every other numbered FF (that doesn't have a subtitle in it) out there. As Tatsubei Yagyu said, the conversation was about a [I]possible[/I] remake of FFVII for PlayStation 3.

[quote name='Hanabishi Recca][U][b]Yeah, okay. Your kidding, but also serious.[/b][/U][b']I will go in detail. Sorry about that. I am human[/b][/quote] I was kidding with the "are you even human?!"-question (I apologize for the bad joke, I was tired at the time), but there was a serious point behind it. I don't care what people believe in, but I only respect beliefs that have been thought out by yourself, and not taken for granted. I've spend a large part of my life pondering about these things, and I only came into this conclusion I have now by many twists and turns. Merely quoting the text of a holy book (whatever it may be), sounds [I]to me[/I] like the quoter doesn't really think that way, he or she just writes what other people have said that he or she must believe. Religion, despite having it's communal level, is most importantly a personal thing. Nobody can really dictate on what you believe, or say that you are believing wrong (because who can honestly say he or she knows the truth?). Believing is not knowing, although so many people mix them up. [quote name='Chabichou']The child isn't wasting his time wondering "what if?", he's working hard to obtain his future goals.[/quote] Please don't misunderstand me on purpose. I meant more of "what if I ruin my place in heaven?", "what if I die tomorrow?", "what if there's nothing after this life?". I was just saying it's rather pointless to ask those questions over and over again and miss your chances in life, since nobody is going to give you a definite answer. Again, you can [I]believe[/I] something, but it's not knowing.

I actually do love FF7 because of it's [B]intriguing storyline[/B] (it honestly had a minimal amount of clichés - at least at the time it was released), [B]varied characters[/B] (Aeris was no weakling, there were two persons in your party that switched sides at one point, villains were the most memorable I've seen to date - and I'm not talking about just Sephiroth here, but Turks and Shinra Corp as well), [B]fun battle system[/B] (with a customizable skill-learning system and a very original roster of monsters to fight), [B]many optional sidequests[/B] (including two secret characters), and [B]detailed environments[/B] (I could spend hours just gazing all the details in the interiors and dungeons - no 3D game has managed to achieve such variety). [B]Avenged666fold[/B], would it really hurt that much to give reasons for your opinions? Because you give a pretty ignorant picture of yourself by just saying "story was weak, graphics sucked, gameplay was boring". What made you think like that? Why? Uh, now I sound like a crazy fanboy defending his favest game till death, but I realize and approve that FF7 isn't everybody's piece of cake. Much of the opposition it gets, I reckon, comes from those who actually enjoyed the game while playing it, but don't want to be labeled as a FF7-fanatic (which I've seen is some sort of curse in today's FF-fandom). Am I right on this? Do so many FF-fans really hate FF7, or is it just because you are supposed to hate a game that popular?

[QUOTE=Hanabishi Recca]You could have said that nicer. Not all christians are like that. I am not. But I don't go off telling people what they are doing wrong unless I feel I need to. I am just saying maybe be abit nicer about it, okay? Christians are supposed to repersent God. I am hoping since it is 2006 they will change. Thanks for your time, ~ David[/QUOTE] I'm sorry, but you sound like some cheap salesperson, or a poorly-made ad campaign. :/ Are you even a human?! *gasp* Just kidding. ;P But seriously, with a topic like this at discussion, I think you should go into more details about your opinions,maybe give your reasons for believing like that. I can honestly say I don't have a religion. I don't believe in any definite, individual higher power, I don't have any sacred rituals, I live by the moral codes set to me by the modern Finnish society, and I find nothing holy about priests of any religion. Might sound crude to some people, or even unbelievable, but this is my life and I'm happy living it right now. :) Oftentimes religion is focusing on the life after death (rather than the life you're living), which I find more than a bit ridiculous. Why waste your life wondering "what if", when it is obvious that the answer won't come to you until you're dead? In many religion's point-of-view, I've sinned (by being a homosexual, for example), yet I don't repent. This means to some that I'm going to Hell. I don't personally fear that, since - simply put - I don't believe in Hell. I believe that life ends to death (and before anybody says that it is my religion, I must remind that a single belief doesn't make a whole religion - it takes much more than that). But come what may, I say. If it's Hell I'm going to, I will go there with peace of mind for in my opinion I have done nothing wrong. Again, you may disagree, but I'm entitled to my own opinions. Those are some of my views on religion, which I won't start debating about with anybody (because we've seen plenty of [I]that[/I] kind of threads here). I'm just answering the question of the topic as best as I can being a person without a religion.

[B]Suggestion to Rai:[/B] why don't you try and fit all three remaining games you have into that one post? That way your absence wouldn't affect the game that much, and I don't have to resort to any drastic measures. But if that doesn't work out, I'm willing to continue this game through April, but[I] please[/I], let us end this before summer! X) As fun as we all have had with this, all good things must come to an end before they go bad! ;D There're still minigames left for everybody, so [I]Game On[/I] folks! :D [B]Edit[/B]: Here's something I just whipped up. You will see a [I]similar[/I] image than this three more times in the actual game thread, each time with one finalist erased until only the winner remains. It's the [I]Final Countdown[/I], guys! ;D [IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c323/SamSandy/OB%20Survivor/final.jpg[/IMG]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]The Legionnaires faced the Atlantean ex-counsellor. He was with a short female, not quite middle-aged yet. [B]"This is Algaebra, one of Tritonias's researchers on the blue-sky object. She's with us now, though, and she will take you to the workshop."[/B] [B]"What about Alkesel? Where did he go?"[/B] Liquid asked. [B]"Eh, Alkesel isn't a trusted part of our little resistance movement, I'm afraid. He's been sent back to his duty as a guard."[/B] [B]"Oh... Alright then"[/B], Liquid said. Melinoë could sense a tinge of disappointment in her voice. [B]"Well then, let us not linger on"[/B], the woman Algaebra said hurriedly. She looked like a busy woman altogether. Her long seagreen hair was tied into a shaggy bundle, and her dolphin-skin coat had greasy spots in it. [B]"Follow me, please."[/B] Algaebra led the trio to a narrow tunnel. Melinoë took a last glance back to see Raynor looking after them absent-mindedly. [B]"I must say I find this vehicle of yours very facinating. Your powersources are very different from our amber, and overall the materials are much more varied. Life above the surface must be so easy, with such technology at your dispose."[/B] [B]"I wouldn't say that, really"[/B], Tetros replied somewhat bitterly. [B]"Besides, weren't you one of the Traditionalists? Shouldn't you hate advanced technology?"[/B] [B]"Oh, I don't really [I]hate[/I] it. I just believe that we're better of without it. We aren't all idealistic zealots like Raynor, you know?"[/B] They entered a wider tunnel. Melinoë felt the air getting thicker and hotter. [B]"Sorry for all this walking," Algaebra apologized. "The workshop isn't far anymore but I must warn you that you might not like what we are doing there. Tritonias and the rest of the Council have big plans for the cargo of your vessel. The counter-revolution must happen quickly and soon, that's what I tell Raynor and the others all the time!"[/B] Despite looking busy, Melinoë thought, that woman sure had time to talk! Suddenly a tremor shook the tunnel. Dust and pebbles rained on the three Legionnaires and their guide, but it was over as soon as it started. [B]"Its... *cough* alright, the volcano's just *cough* acting up!"[/B] Algaebra said assuringly. [B]"Many among the Traditionalists believe that it's the Big Amber-Eye shaking his volcanic home, enfuriated by you intruders, but I think that's just superstitious foolishness."[/B] [B]"Big Amber-Eye?"[/B] Melinoë asked. Now that she thought about it, she had sensed a distant presence of something powerful... [B]"Oh, forget about that! It's just a fairy tale, that an ancient entity slumbers inside Mt. Ipsion, the one that sank Atlantis into the bottom of the sea. We [I]sane[/I] people know that it's not how it went, obviously."[/B] But the mere fairy tale was enough to make Melinoë worried. It wouldn't be the first time that a legend turned out to be true - she was a living example of it. [B]"Melinoë"[/B], Tetros said, touching her shoulder and waking her from her thoughts. She shook, cursing herself of her new softness. She used to be constantly aware of her surroundings and now even a clanky android could sneak up on her! [B]"We should concentrate on finding the submarine and getting it out of here"[/B], the man said seriously, looking Melinoë into her mismatched eyes. She nodded approvingly, and pushed away all thoughts of dormant monsters.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo]Soon a courier came to the lobby where the Legionnaires were waiting with Alkesel, sending an order to escort the visitors to meet the leaders. Melinoë was on the other hand satisfied that things were moving on so quickly, but on the other hand she was suspicious about the good treatment they were given. After the courier was gone, the threesome swam out to the city, following the Atlantean officer. [I]"This is truly a wonderful sight"[/I], Liquid said admiringly as she gazed the view over the underwater city. "It makes me wonder how it came to be..." [I]"Well, the history of Atlantis dates back several thousand of your years"[/I], Alkesel explains. [I]"Our concept of time differs quite largely from yours, we calculate it based on tides and movements of sealife and... Oh, I don't want to bore you by going to details."[/I] [I]"Please don't"[/I], Melinoë muttered, but Liquid swam closer to the man. [I]"But I want to hear about it! Life underwater, in my true form... It's something I've always dreamed of!"[/I] Liquid exclaimed so that bubbles came out of her mouth [I]"Oh, very well then"[/I], Alkesel said and began retelling the history according to legends. Melinoë noticed that they were approaching the huge volcano protruding from the center of the city. [I]"... After the Cataclysms, the surviving citizens of Atlantis found no other way but to follow their city underwater. After all, the secret of the magic ambers was too great to be shared with other Mediterranean cultures. The legendary Amberists transformed the willing people into the form that you now see before you. So those people began to build this underwater city on the ruins of the ancient Atlantis."[/I] [I]"But where does this amber come from?"[/I] Liquid asked. [I]"That's something that only few people know exactly, but it is said that modern Amberists excavate it from deep under the seabottom with their magicks. But I think I'm babbling too much, these aren't topics I should discuss with you people. It's just that I don't know how to cope with this new situation!"[/I] [I]"It's alright, Alkesel"[/I], Liquid said kindly, touching the Atlantean's arm. Melinoë laughed inside of her mind. If all Atlanteans were as simple and naïve as this one, their mission would be a breeze! Soon they came to the main square of the city. A long slide went up the side of the volcano on the other end of the square, and ended to the doors of an enormous ziggurat. [I]"That's the Hall of Ipsion, where the Council recides. They are probably waiting for us already, so let us haste."[/I] [CENTER]~~~~~[/CENTER] Soon Melinoë, Liquid and Tetros were standing in front of the Council of Ipsion. Twentyone old Atlantean men and women were sitting in an arch of thrones, gazing down upon the three Legionnaires. High statues of four saintly-looking Atlanteans loomed over the arch. [I]"Visitors from above. How interesting..."[/I] a portly old man said amused. [I]"What do Blue-skyers do here? How is it possible they found us?" [/I] a hysteric woman exclaimed. [I]"In the name of the Four Virtues, this is outrageous! We must raise guard immediately!"[/I] a third counsellor nearly screamed. A large masked man sitting in the center of the arch raised his right arm, and the rest of the council fell silent. [I]"These aren't common Blue-skyers"[/I], the man said, his voice booming like the wailing of a whale. [I]"They are abominations to their own people, like I was when I went to the surface in my youth. Visitors, I am Highcounsellor Tritonias. What do you seek from the lost city of Atlantis?"[/I] [I]"If I may speak..."[/I] Liquid started with a bow. [I]"We are here to search a missing vessel of ours, a submarine with a fragile cargo. Our superiors think that you honorable Atlanteans might have gained possession of it. If this is true, we would kindly"[/I] A long silence. Finally Tritonias spoke. [I]"I apologize, but we have seen no such vessel here lately. It must've got carried away by the underwater currents. I'm afraid your trip here was in vain, but I do hope we Atlanteans have treated you with respect and hospitality, so that you will leave our city to continue it's life in peace."[/I] [I]"You are most polite, honored Highcounsellor"[/I], Liquid said and bowed again. Melinoë rolled her mismatched eyes. [I]"I take your words as true, and we leave this marvellous city to continue our seek elsewhere."[/I] [I]"So be it. The Council of Ipsion wishes luck to your search."[/I] As Alkesel escorted the three Legionnaires out, Melinoë spoke. [I]"He lied"[/I], she grunted. [I]"How can you say?!"[/I] Liquid exclaimed, mildly shocked. [I]"Oh, poor Laqara, just because somebody says something it doesn't mean it's automatically true! They are hiding something, don't you agree, Tetros?"[/I] The android just shrugged. Melinoë noticed that he hadn't said a word during the meeting with the Council. Something must've been going through his brain circuits. [I]"I say we stick around for a while, and try to get to the bottom of this"[/I], the android finally suggested. [I]"Alkesel, doesn't this city have any dry place in it?"[/I] [I]"In fact, the volcano holds several caverns that are free from water"[/I], the confused Atlantean said. He was also shocked from hearing somebody call the leaders of his city liars. [I]"I'll show you the way."[/I] Again the three supermercenaries began to follow the man through the marvelous city. [/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Reiku][color=DarkOrange][size=1][b]Awww... now now Desbreko... that's cheating. :p Although I am curious. Do you do the whole female facade as well when you're playing and meet other characters?[/color][/size][/b][/QUOTE] I did, when I played RuneScape for two weeks last summer (I was bored, yes). I created a female character and acted as a "damsell in distress" (I even named her "Curiel Cura" to sound all weak and whitemagey), so sooner than soon I had a legion of guardians fending off the hordes of harassers ("Ooh b000bzz!!!"). XP It was fun while it lasted, yes. ;D But to answer the real topic, yes I've seen some quite stunning transvestites (although being gay I don't find them sexually attractive) who'd pass for a female almost everywhere if it weren't the gaudy and over-the-top style they were wearing. Also, when I had longer hair in my youth, I got called a girl too often... I'm just so pwetty! ;D

I'd like to add that in the upcoming rounds you guys really don't have to follow what other contestants have wrote about the game previously - make it your own version, and I'll reward you with many sweet kupo points! ;D

Both Sakura and Solo have finished with their first games, so you can either switch places or wait until Doukeshi and Raiyuu are done with theirs. So both Donkey Kong and Space Invaders are now available. Game On, Game On, [I]Game On[/I]!!!

To me immortality means that you'll be remembered long after you're dead. I guess loving and being loved helps in that. ;D I don't believe that love's just nature's way of controlling us, really. I'm more happier now that I'm in love than ever before. The feeling of security, that you have somebody you can trust no matter what, somebody who you can share your good and bad moments with... That's just an overwhelming emotion!

I'd advise everybody to stick to one post/game, or else this [I]Game[/I] will go [I]On[/I] into the year 2007. XP But it's up to you, really. Just remember to wait for my scores until you start posting about a second game. Hope this challenge isn't a total drab... :/

[COLOR=Indigo]Melinoë gazed down to the mythical city of Atlantis. In the mission briefing, the three of them had been shown drawings and pieces of art made about Atlantis by various artists over the centuries, but none of those resembled what she saw below her very much. The vast city was build around an underwater volcano. It's buildings were made of sandstone and decorated with sea plants. It was illuminated by thousands of orange lights, chasing away the deep darkness of the seafloor. They were still too far to see the source of those lights. Tetros waved to the two women to follow him, pulling out his underwater gun at the same. As they were closing in on the city, a patrol of native Atlanteans approached them, riding on some strange huge fish. Melinoë heard the vibration of their voices echoing through the water. The Acheron turned the noise into words in her head. [I]"Halt, intruders!"[/I] the commander of the group said. [I]"Do you understand my words?"[/I] Each soldier of the patrol were wearing a bulbous helmet and a cuirass, but Melinoë could see from their exposed limbs the pale color of their rubber-like skin. Ultra fast evolution, or workings of an arcane force? She couldn't say just yet. [I]"I repeat..."[/I] the commander started to say, but was interrupted by Melinoë. [I]"We understand you, alright? We want to meet your leaders."[/i] [I]"Who are you?"[/I] the commander said in shock, waving his weapon - some sort of bayonet with a crystal-like barrel - at the three Legionnaires. [I]"It would be best to escort us to your city, so we can talk more"[/I], Liquid said in a mediating manner. After thinking it for a moment, the commander nodded and signaled to his troops. They surrounded the team, and began to usher them downwards.[/COLOR]

[quote name='animeghost']it is driving me insane to keep finding out things tha square-enix is making i mean first ff7 advent chlidren the movie witch i still canot get why do i have to live in newfoundland. then i find about a fps involving vencint( my fav in ff7) and now FFXII i will kill my self if i dont find them soon.[/quote] I didn't completely understand what you were saying (proper grammar and spelling could help... *hint hint*), but what I gathered was that you were tired of waiting for the new titles of Square-Enix. You just have to be patient, and not kill yourself. ;P The sequels of FF VII, [B]Advent Children[/B] (the movie) and [B]Dirge of Cerberus[/B] (the Vincent-FPS) are already out in Japan, and [B]FFXII[/B] is coming out in a month, but everybody in USA and PAL-regions will still have to wait for them at least until summer. So it's no wonder you haven't found them yet because they aren't out yet - not in Newfoundland nor the continental America. ;P *** [B]EDIT:[/B] The game was officially released in Japan yesterday, and now most gaming sites in the internet are flooding with first impressions and gameplayvideos. However, there are great news to us non-importers as well: Yoichi Wada (president of S-E) has said that the company is aiming to release this game in the US and Europe by the end of this year (which is more than likely). *is embarrased about the first post in this thread*
