Actually, [B]Yes[/B] I have heard of the Cheese Weapon!! I saved the method to get it because it was so darn funny. I'll put it up: THE CHEESE WEAPON QUEST PREREQUISITES FOR THE CHEESE WEAPON QUEST: Cannot complete Rocket Town Materia quest Need a Transform, Odin, Titan, Typhoon, Knights of the Round Table, and Exit Materia. The hidden WEAPON: Cheese WEAPON - The WEAPON found on the moon. Needs a Weird Chocobo. Finding the Weird Chocobo: Begin this quest by defeating Jenova Synthesis, Bizarro Sephiroth, and Safer Sephiroth. When the battle between Cloud and Final Sephiroth ensues, start to run away. You will not be able to, but keep doing it. Sephiroth will hit you for 1 point of damage at intervals. Keep running. You have a 1 in 128 chance of escaping when he hits you. When you finally escape, you will be standing outside of Midgar (don't ask me how.) You will have a brief moment of thought and then you will commence the battle with Meteor. Meteor Stats: ----- HP: 9,999,999,999,999 MP: 0 Attacks: Earth Crush (used one minute into the battle, which destroys the planet and ends the game.) Meteorain (as per the limit break) Comet, Comet2 EXP: 1 AP: 0 Gil: Like a big rock would carry Gil! Prizes at the end of the Battle: Some scars and the praise of billions. Steal: Comet Materia, Space Junk, Moon Rock Morph: Tissue Notes: ------ In a nutshell, you have exactly one minute to kill Meteor before it hits Earth, but here's how you can do it. You will lose this battle if you don't have a Transform materia in your party. You need to cast Mini on Meteor five times. You can insure doing this by casting Haste on yourself. After you hit Meteor five times with Mini, the battle will end and you get 1 EXP and 0 AP. Meteor will get mad and crash down on earth, but it's only the size of a house and lands on Don Corneo's mansion. Go back into Midgar using a disabled key item called the "Pogo Stick." To get the Pogo Stick, wait till the scene that has the party on the Highwind. When everyone is silent, examine the tin of rubbish in the Chcoobo stable. There, you will find a Pogo Stick, which can only be found when Meteor has crashed into Corneos Mansion. Go to Corneo's Mansion and you will see a Spotted Chocobo. Speak to the Chocobo to give it name. You must give the Chocobo a name that is opposite to this gender, or it will run away. Its a 50/50 chance of getting it right, so I suggest saving the game before speaking with it. Now ride the Chocobo out of Midgar and ride it to Rocket Town. (Note that you cannot go on mountains because the Weird Chocobois afraid of heights.) Run around the Rocket ten times and you can enter it. Now you will be asked: "Where to?" You can answer one: "Disneyland" "West Side" "Party" Choosing Disneyland will take you to Gold Saucer, where all the costumes will be Disney-oriented. West Side takes you to a hidden area in Midgar where Barret really grew up. Party will take you to Costa del Sol, where Cid is insanely drunk in the villa with everyone other character in the game, including the Turks, who were waiting to die. But you want to select the fourth hidden option. This will bring up another question: "Are you sure?" Answer "Yes" and you will fly to the Moon. When you land you have ten seconds to run into the Cheese WEAPON, who is skipping by just as you land. If you touch him, you can fight him. If not, game over. Stats of the Cheese Weapon: ----- HP: 2,000,000,000 MP: 20,000 Attacks: Sharp Cheddar (a physical attack, causes around +8000 damage) Cheese Sneeze (Causes +5000 damage to all plus poison and confusion) Cheese Freeze (Ice based, causes +7000 damage to one) Cheese Breeze (Wind based, causes +5000 damage to all) Cheese Degrees (Fire, causes +8000 damage to one) Vitamin Cheese (Heals the Cheese Weapon for 9999 HP) Death by Cheese (Causes 9999 damage to all, used when HP is down to 1,000,000. Can only be blocked by casting Shield or Barrier before hand) EXP: 1,000,000 AP: 1,000,000 (like you'd need all that anyway) Gil: 1,000,000 Prizes at the end of the battle: Cheese Ring Steal: Cheese Armlet (If you can equip it during battle, which you really can't, it will absorb all damage taken from the Cheese WEAPON as HP) Morph: Cheese Source (raises stats of all characters to 255) In Battle: The Cheese WEAPON will summon four Cheeseasaurus Rexes (yes, the ones from the Kraft Cheese and Macaroni commercial.) They can attack you for about 3000 HP each, and can steal items from you (they usually wind up stealing everything you have, but you can steal them back. You win them back at the end of the battle, anyway.) The easiest way to beat the Cheese WEAPON (I tested this and it ALWAYS works) is to summon Odin, which will turn him into cheese slices. Then summon Titan to turn him into a cheese sandwich. After Titan, summon Typoon to turn the sandwich over. Then summon the Knights of Round to put toppings on the sandwich. They will put on Ham, Turkey, Salami, Bologna, Mayonnaise, Mustard, Pickles, Olives, Lettuce, Tomato, Peppers, and Onions. Then the big guy at then end (I think it's King Arthur) will cut the sandwich in half. Feed the sandwich to your Spotted Chocobo and it will transform into the Bizarre Chocobo (it has two heads and looks like a peacock.) The Bizarre Chocobo will say "Kraw" instead of "Wark." If it doesn't, use a Hyper on the Chocobo and he will spit up the sandwich. Use Life2 on the sandwich and you'll fight the Cheese WEAPON all over again. Refer to above to beat him again. Repeat this until your Bizarre Chocobo says "Kraw!" When it does, you can ride him back to Earth (the FMV of this looks like E.T. riding over the moon.) Take the Cheese Ring to the man in Kalm. He will give you the "Cow Lure" Materia. Once you equip the Cow Lure Materia, you can fight Cows instead of Chocobos. You can breed them too! Then a new option on Choco Billy's menu appears. It is "Milk". When you milk your cows, they will produce cheese. You have to milk a "Smelly Cow" to get Limburger. Milk a "Holy Cow" to produce Swiss, and milk a "Patriotic Cow" to get American. I heard there's a Blue Cow that will give you Blue Cheese, and an Italian Cow that will give you Parmesan and Mozzarella Cheese. If you go to Wall Market, you'll find the Honeybee Inn has been vacated. You can buy the building for 1,000,000 Gil. Then you can open a Deli. You can serve sandwiches with your cheese, and in the International Version of FF7, you can get the Salmon Materia and have Salmon Cheese, which sells for 10,000 Gil on a sandwich. Interesting Insert: If you go into the pub at Kalm, you will find the polygon render of Nobuo Uematsu (the FF7 Music Composer.) He is incredibly drunk and will tell you that he is sick of the Prelude Theme and is going to take it out for FF8.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by kizu [/i] [B]It does seem like they are lazy as far as the number of games that have been released for the GC in the amount of time it has been on the market. I have noticed in EGM that the PS2 releases a lot of new games every month. And the GC only releases a handful of new games. Compared to the competion they are progressing very slowly right now. But that might just be because they focus more Quality games rather than Quanity. [/B][/QUOTE] Well, there a couple of problems with what you said. You can't really judge how many games are in development by EGM because Nintendo isn't giving EGM a whole lot to work with. Furthermore, we're still pretty fresh off of the holiday season. I'll bet you a nickel that once Summer rolls there'll be a lot of quality titles(Star Fox Adventures, Wrestlemania 2001). I'm such a mark for wrestling! And you say that compared to the competition they are progressing slowly? I have an Xbox and there's not a darn thing to play either besides Raw and the initial games(already have Max Payne for PC). Playstation 2 has been out for quite a while and has a larger user base, so it's a little unfair to judge.

I can't believe that this is such new news to some of you. My friends have been talking about this for a while. It stars Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez(The Fast and The Furious). It's supposed to hit theaters April 5th. My friend told me that a recent televsion commercial said mid March. The footage is at [url]www.resident-evil-the-movie.com.[/url]

Allow me to clear up your confusion Kuja. This was taken from Gamespot: [B]Some confusion was caused earlier this week when one of the games announced at Sony's online press conference was Resident Evil Online for the PlayStation 2. The company has issued a statement on its Web site saying that it is indeed true that an online Resident Evil game is coming to the PlayStation 2, but it's currently not known what form the game will take. The company also reconfirmed its original plans to release the Resident Evil remake, Resident Evil 0, and Resident Evil 4 exclusively on the GameCube.[/B] So there you have it. While the base Resident Evil series is exclusive to the GameCube, this side game will be released on PS2. The pictures do look kind of dark as Sephiroth stated. On my computer I can barely make some of them out. It's probably not how the game will look, rather just some lackluster pics.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Gohan [/i] [B] Ok, then lazy may not be term to describe Nintendo. Then what would be a word for a system which gaming magazines have no idea if they are even MAKING any new games? There is a lot of mystery here. [/B][/QUOTE] I guess that either secretive or protective would be a couple of good words to describe them.

I don't know if Nintendo is getting a reputation of being "lazy" as you put it. Rather, they are very secretive. As EGM stated, the Japanese parent company is protective of its assets and they're willing to hide everything from the press so that their unfinished products won't be judged by the public. Hehe, I seriously doubt that Nintendo(a company with a reputation for making quality titles over quantity) would become lazy during the biggest console war in history.

Wait....Snail, are you sure you don't mean Speed Punks?

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Defcon5 [/i] [B]I don't see a difference between dumpster baby's and aborted babies. There both dead. And if a girl doesn't want a baby then they sshould be having sex. And if they need to have sex that much then use a freakin condum. [/B][/QUOTE] The difference between a dumpster baby and an aborted baby is quite a major one. As previously stated, abortions are done quite early, within the first trimester. A fetus can be aborted before it's developed significantly. Dumpster babies are children who are actually fully developed. To throw a (most likely) living child(not fetus) into a garbage can is even more barbaric in my opinion. Once that child is born it definitely has rights as a person and one of those rights is the right to live. Furthermore, even when using protection(such as a condom) there is always the possibility of conception. What if the condom breaks? You see, the only way to guarantee that there is no pregnancy is abstinance(which is barely practiced).

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Darkness [/i] [B]I'm pretty much pro-choice. I don't agree with it as a method of birth-control, but I don't advocate bringing an unwanted child into the world. Especially when rape is involved; the baby was created under brutal criminal terms. I do believe that whatever choices are made should be made with the mother having the final say. [/B][/QUOTE] I'm pretty much leaning towards the pro-choice side myself. I don't mean to be graphic, but there are multiple young girls who do not want to bear a child, so they take a coat hanger and rip the fetus out of their uterus. I believe that if legal abortion was commonplace, the overall safety of young girls would be increased. Also, it would probably reduce the number of dumpster babies. It's dead wrong for a human life to be brought into the world that way.

My friend's got a free pass to a gym and we're probably going to check it out tomorrow. If it's cool and I enjoy it I'll more than likely get a membership.

Ask and you shall receive. This information comes to you courtesy of Daniel Engel's faq. Bandana - Gives you infinite ammo when you have it equipped. It can only be used in the tanker stage on any difficulty. You need around 30 tags from the tanker to get it. Stealth - When equipped you are invisible to all enemies, even cameras. You can earn one on the tanker stage, and one in the plant. You need around 60 tags from the tanker to get its stealth, and around 120 tags from the plant to get its stealth. Each stealth can only be used in its respective stage. Infinite Wig (Brown) - Gives you infinite ammo when you have it equipped. It can only be used in the plant stage on any difficulty. You need around 80 tags from the plant to get it. Infinite Grip Wig (Orange) - Gives you an infinite grip meter when you have it equipped. It can only be used in the plant stage on any difficulty. You need around 160 tags from the plant to get it. Infinite Air Wig (Blue) - Gives you an infinite supply of air when you have it equipped. It can only be used in the plant stage on any difficulty. I think you need around all the tags in the game to get it. The wig is really ONLY useful when you're underwater. Bonus Website - When you get every tag in the game you are given the URL to part of Konami's website. Here you will find wallpapers, icons and sounds for your computer (these list are also supposed to be updated), you need to enter your ID, Password and Clear Code to get in.

Gamespot has it listed for June 10th. I'm not too surprised. The people at Rare always try to push the envelope with their games. Did you know that they're pulling a Pixar and rendering single strands of fur on the characters? I'm sure that the delay is well justified as long as the game doesn't have choppy animation like a lot of Rare's recent titles.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Zero-Sama [/i] [B]Yes,But why would the Ultima Weapon be afraid of the Lifestream.If it was made by the planet and powered by the Lifestream,Wouldn't it gain power form the lifestream? [/B][/QUOTE] My answer is purely theoretical. The LifeStream represents life and all of it's cycles, as witnessed when Cloud falls into it along with Tifa. The LifeStream protects the planet through purity and preservation. A weapon by nature is a force of destruction that has no life; rather a weapon takes life away. The Planet created the WEAPONs to protect against Jenova if need be. The Ultima Weapon would not gain power from the lifestream because they are two completely opposite acting forces. If they did collide, one would not survive the other. Although both were created by the planet, they each have their own roles and by instinct the Weapon will not endanger the planet by interacting with the lifestream.

Heh, there's blocks in the game that give you hints as well! Come on Gohan, I know you're a much better gamer than this. Make me proud boy!

I heard about it and I believe that the Canadians were ripped off big time. They gave us a flawless performance that was more polished than their Russian counterparts. I believe that I heard something about the judges giving each other signals with their feet when scoring. I don't know how reliable that is though.... At least my neighbors from up north have their rightfully deserved gold now though!

There was a really interesting discussion in class today about abortion that I figured I'd share with everyone. This is a very controversial issue that's really hard to argue for either way, hence the class was split on the subject. Many people argue that aborting a baby is murder. As I understand it women are allowed to get abortions up until three months into their pregnancy cycle(someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Under this three months the fetus develops certain functions that cause many to argue that it is a person and has rights. Depending on how you look at it, they're correct. I'll put up a few simple facts to illustrate: Day 20: Foundations of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system are already established. Day 21: The heart begins to beat. Day 28: The backbone and muscles are forming. Arms, legs, eyes and ears have begun to show. Day 30: The heart is pumping increasing quantities of blood through the circulatory system. Day 35: Five fingers can be discerned in the hand. The eyes darken as pigment is produced. Day 40: Brain waves can be detected and recorded. Day 42: The liver is now taking over the production of blood cells and the brain begins to control movement of muscles and organs. Now, half of the class considered this living; the other half says that the child must be able to live outside of the womb to be considered living. Furthermore, there's situation in womens' rights and that the government shouldn't be able to control what they do with their bodies. I was wondering what everyone else's stance on this might be.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Sephiroth [/i] [B] I do not think a remake on the ps3 will do for the ps3 what the original did for the ps1.... [/B][/QUOTE] I agree with you to some extent. Final Fantasy VII was a tremendous success for the original PSX because of its revolutionary(for the time) graphics, storyline and because it was Square's first PSX game after it's split with Nintendo. Although, I suppose if it was overhauled enough it might do a repeat. Look at Resident Evil for the GameCube. That game will probably sell a lot of systems for Nintendo.

It's in the first Midgar reactor right before you get to the spot where you detonate the bomb if memory serves me correctly. Fifteen minutes should be [I]plenty[/I] of time to get there. Let's not get too far into a Final Fantasy discussion though, as there is a forum specifically for that.

Hey, thanks you two! Honestly, I don't need to be rich with my writings because it's just okay to feel like a million bucks when people like it!;)

The way I see it, America is built on various cultures. Being a nation founded on immigrants it's impossible to limit American culture to one definitive set of beliefs and values. If you also take into account varying religions and the set of holidays and customs that come with them, it's quite easy to see that we're a salad bowl of traits that have come together to form one society(or clusters of societies if defacto segregation is involved). All of this is reflected in everything from music to clothing. And by the way, I'm here to wish everyone a belated happy Chinese New Year!

I'm surprised that you brought up Super Mario World's control scheme. In my opinion, it's quite easy to pick up and play and does not really suffer in the conversion. The only real problem with fewer buttons lies in fighting games. Conversions such as Tekken and Street Fighter are now watered down. Shifting weapons in Doom can kinda be a hastle too. However, by nature something like Tekken would have to be scaled back on a little handheld. Nintendo probably intentionally put two face buttons on to make sure that games remain simplified and friendly to gamers of all ages.

I'll clear something up. By "bottle thingy" he's talking about that incubator or whatever that Cloud peers into. Remember you see a short movie of a monster and Cloud falls down in shock?

You might want to try cleaning the disk before you give up on it. Make sure you either buy a cleaning kit or wipe it gently in circular motions, starting inward and working outward, with a soft piece of cloth. If the disk is scratched badly, then it's probably defective.
