Alright man, listen to no one but me. Here's what you need to do: Get a tatoo of barbed wire on your arm. That is definitely a must. Now, this is the very important part. You need to go up in that mother like you own it. It's important to go to the first class twenty minutes late(the stylish thing to do). When you do, kick the door down and walk in with your sleevless white T shirt and go, "Hey yo, catch teach," and throw an apple to the teacher. Next, make sure you eye up the class with your lip curled and wink at no one in particular. The next line is important, so make it good. "My name's Big D, what you lookin' at," is always a winner. When you sit down make sure that you put your feet up on the desk and lean obnoxiously on the person's behind you. Chewing tobacco, getting up in the middle of the class, pulling the can over to your desk, and spitting the juice in the can is also an "in thing." Finally, make sure your hair is greased up and slicked back for all of this. If it isn't, you're defeating the whole purpose.

Spiraling into a void of darkness, Mephistopheles ceased to exist in a world of pure matter. Surrounded in darkness, a long forgotten voice whispered softly, "Let us go, you and I, to an evening when fog covers the earth and sky." The two had never arrived at that place. Mephistopheles had watched as a boy, his parents slain at the hands of the blood thirsty Saiya-jin race. Mephistopheles has stood still and stopped the sound of feet when far away an interrupted cry came over houses from another street. But not to call him back or say good-bye: And further still an unearthly height, one luminary clock against the sky, proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. He had been one acquaninted with the night. His people.......all gone, Mephistopheles himself had only survived because of his tail. Living as a Saiya-jin, living a lie he grew to hate his lineage. The misty smoke of the waterfall rubbed its back on Mephistopheles. The misty smoke that rubs it's muzzle on the window panes of a cottage home after a spring shower. Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening, slipped by the foot of the waterfall, and made a sudden leap, and seeing that it was a soft night, curled and once about the area, fell asleep. A warm light bathed the fallen warrior, melting the pain the crippled his body as he neared the light at the end of the dark tunnel. Opening his eyes, the fuzzy image of Raiha and Cinoris began to focus in. "Laprion Mage," he said rising to his feet. "Where is the one that attacked me?" Raiha's eyes followed Mephistopheles carefully as she answered, "Why would you want to know. You want to kill him, is that it?" Mephistopheles tossed his head back and laughed warmly. "Kill him," he questioned, "I would like to thank him. When a Saiya-Jin reaches a near death situation they only grow in strength. I feel like a new man." Bowing his head down he said lowly, "Yet, my urge to kill has diminished somewhat. Killing that fool will not undo what has already been done. It'll only stain my hands. However, he and I do have unsettled business and we will battle. Unfortunately, my primitive Saiya-Jin blood calls for it and that is a drawback that your magic cannot clense." And with that, Mephistophels had vanished, as softly as the surrounding mist, in search of his aggressor.

I can't really place myself into either category. I guess it all depends on the mood that I happen to be in.

I don't believe that it's out quite yet. I hear that it one-ups Crazy Taxi and Project Gotham Racing by offering more complex environments. It takes place in Hong Kong to ensure that there are plenty of pedestrians to interact with. It'll probably play a lot like Super Runabout or Felony 11-79.

FFX will not be online. I doubt that FFXI's delay will make them lose much money. Any true fan will wait it out. Square'll make sure it's perfect, so that they don't release a lackluster game and lose money in that respect.

First of all, to stay on topic: If you master the Jecht shot while on the ship it would really help you out in the match against the Luca Goers. Next, I'll comment on the Final Fantasy quality debate. My take on it is that the series tries to appeal to all of the gamers' senses. It's true that Square pays much attention to detail in crafting a storyline fitting for a motion picture with each game, but the fact that they cater to the gameplay also makes the difference. No two Final Fantasy games play exactly alike. With each release, Square makes slight(and in X's case, drastic) changes to the gameplay engine to ensure that gamers get something new each time they come back. I find it comforting to know that I'll never come out of a Final Fantasy game, having said the words, "It's just like the others, only with slightly updated graphics." I feel that Final Fantasy offers a large gameplay feast with plenty of meat to go with it's visual desert. Early on the cut scenes frustrated me, but once you put time into unlocking all of the game's secrets, you'll learn that it's as deep as any of the games before it. The custimization of weapons, aeon attributes and abilities, and overdrives, may even push the game beyond the others. As far as Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty goes, I feel that it offered a faltering storyline and a lackluster main character. Instead of focusing on gameplay, Hideo Kojima focused on making his creative vision in the form of a film.

Eh we don't get snow days in college unless public transportation can't run. That means that it has to be really hazardous out. Anyway, even if we did have one, it'd just have to be made up. It's too warm around here anyway. 68 degrees in January? Gimme a break! I like it though.

I probably still have a couple old Super Mario Super Bros. Show tapes. Ah, the good old days of Captain Lou Albano hosting a cartoon about two of Nintendo's greatest icons(Link and Mario) in cheesy skits. My God, that was a long time ago!

Yeah.........right. [I]Sure you are[/I] *wink* There's no reason to bother, as you're not the internet police. You can stand against them by simply not giving their sites hits and downloading the roms. Even if you were truthfully going to stand against the sites, other people might see the addresses that are posted and download the roms for themselves. In effect, otakuboards.com would be promoting roms, which goes against the forum rules. Oh yeah, plus you can edit your post so that you don't have to make another when you forget to say something.

I'm not too surprised that Final Fantasy X is the top selling PS2 game. The marketing behind it is phenominal and there's enough fanboys to keep the series alive forever. It really deserves to be on the top though. As for Final Fantasy XI...it's looking better everytime I see it anyway but I still think I'll be a little disappointed with it in a few ways.

You know, I don't think it's possible to go through high school and participate in phys ed without getting hit in the head or face with a ball at least one time. Can anyone prove my theory wrong?

Raiha's energy pulsated with uncanny strength, yellow light engulfing her surroundings giving them a soft glow. [I]What is she,[/I] Mephistopheles wondered to himself, all arrogance seemingly vanishing. Staring up into the sky he saw his ki blast explode. Eye to eye, the two warriors stood bathed in the falling glitter and their own energies. "How could you," Mephistopheles asked, "take this form of all things? How could you do this?" A small smile spread across Raiha's lips, almost daring him to attack. "So be it," he whispered, "so be it." Clenching his fists in anger he shouted, "You may look like a level two Super Saiya-Jin, but we'll see if you fight like one." A red light bathed Mephistopheles as he charged at Raiha.

I reckon I might give this one a try.... name: Sean Keyes age: 27 weapons: Colt Python, brass knucks armour: Bullet Proof vest skills: Street fighting, boxing and limited martial arts Bio: Sean lived in an abusive household. Both of his parents were alcholics and oftentimes came to blows with one another. As a child, he used to crawl under his bead and close his eyes crying until he fell asleep, as crashing furniture thundered outside his bedroom door. For years, he raised himself on the streets and joined a gang. One day he returned to his home to find his mother with a slug in her chest and his father with his brains blown out. Since then, he has cleaned up his act and become a police officer. Talk of the virus spreads across the land, leaving everyone in a panic. Sean refuses to fall asleep in fear any longer...hiding under his bed just won't cut it.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Squashed Snail [/i] [B] So would that be No Way Out? Or is there another PPV before that? [/B][/QUOTE] No Way Out is on February 17th.

I'm pretty sure that I beat that sucker fairly with the help of my friend's Gameshark.

I don't [I] think[/I] it's out yet. You might be confusing the game with another, or you've just read a review based on an incomplete version. I know for a fact that it'll be fun on a short term basis, I'm just hoping that it has replay value.

Well, I played the first one, which was called Jet Grind Radio(Set to Grind for U.S) and I thought that it was pretty good. Back then, Cel shading was truly novel, but to this day Sega's Jet Set Radio makes the best of it. All that was missing was some multiplayer modes. If they're in the sequel with an easier learning curve, it'll serve to add a much needed quality game to the Xbox library.

It seems as if everyone's talking about various unknown products such as Final Fantasy X and Metal Gear Solid 2 as of late. I say "pooh" to those games. Who wants to play through a gripping storyline? Some people just want to smash stuff! Seriously, State of Emergency seems to be quite the ambitious title. I mean over two hundred characters running around at once while I cause sheer mayhem? Count me in. Rockstar games has my respect as of late, and I'm curious to see what they can do to make the "beat 'em up genre" enjoyable again. Is anyone else beside me, going to be in a state of emergency on Februrary 5th?

Actually, the worst Resident Evil game is probably the GameBoy Color version.

I'd probably buy them a life time subscription to a magazine that I like so that I could get the rest of the issues when they croaked or I'd buy them a headstone with the date of their death engraved and say something really subtle like, "Surprise, you're gonna die!" Then they'd say, "Wow, I am?" And I'd say, "You sure are dude and soon too." They'd be all excited and stuff and be like, "F'n A!" Then I'd be like, "For sure! Can I have your collection of Elvis CDs?" Of course, they'd say, "But I thought you didn't like Elvis." I'd sit there for a few minutes and go, "Oh yeah," and stare into space.

Hey, it wasn't [I]that[/I] bad of a week because the plane didn't crash. Keep that in mind. Anyway, I'll just stick to cross country drving even though the chances of getting into an accident are actually greater than dying in a plane.

Rising from the soft powder, Mephistopheles's tounge dabbed at a small trail of blood running down from his bottom lip. Ironically, the serenity of the landscape seemed to calm the lord of pain. Off in the distance, icy waves lapped softly against iceburgs. The snow reminded Mephistopheles of soft clouds; he felt as though he were about to do battle in the heavens. Looking up into the sky into the burning eyes of Raiha, who was still hovering above, he smiled. She was all that stood in his way; a gatekeeper blocking the way to his resting place. "What tremendous power for such a delicate creature to posses," he exclaimed excitedly. "I am most impressed at your little magic show young mage." Raiha's lip curled up and she snarled in disgust. "Delicate," she questioned, "If I'm so delicate, how come you're the only one bleeding?" Mephistopheles's soft laughter surprised her. "I hear on earth...that there is a thing called fireworks," he said with his head bowed, "Indeed they have become famous across the galaxy. Raiha, I [I]will[/I] complete my purpose in life. It is my destiny to end what misery the Saiya-jin race has bestowed upon us all." Now raising his head, he stared into her eyes with determination. "Laprion mage," he began, "as extraordinary as you look now, in this form, you will look truly all the more splendid as a dazzling display of exploding light...like your fireworks." Thrusting his hand up, a tremendous surge of white light exploded, stinging Raiha's eyes, as if salt had been exposed in an open wound. Mephistopheles appeared behind her once again and pulled her head back. "Goodbye," he said with dismay before bringing his elbow down upon her neck. A large explosion of ice and snow rose into the air as Raiha fell into her icy tomb. "It was fun Raiha," Mephistopheles yelled, "And I must thank you for your inspiration. I now know that I must destroy this planet along with the Saiya-jins to prevent others like you from rising up against me." Mephistopheles thrust his arm out, his palm facing the large hole in the ground. A yellow aura surrounded him and a ball of white ki sizzled in between his fingertips as he prepared to end it all......

I'll bet anyone here a bag of potato chips that it's Austin vs. Triple H at Wrestlemania. There's no way that they'd trust Jericho for a solid buy rate. That's my opinion anyway. Right now, Triple H won't be joining nWo. He'll be their main adversary. Outsiders should be getting a tag title shot though. I really want to see Rock versus Goldust if anything!
