  1. First of all, there is no Bardock saga. That was a movie. Secondly, I don't remember any females named Pan from it. Pan is Gohan's half Saiyan, half human, daughter. I'm pretty sure that when Freeza destroyed planet Vegita, he killed all of the female Saiyans. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure on this...
  2. Actually Goku_Sama, it's irrevelant whether or not they can make the graphics look really great in 3D. To be honest, the Suikoden series was built on gripping storylines rather than brilliant visuals. In actuallity, there are games out there that do much better 2D than Konami did with Suikoden. In my opinon, the series' new look still manages to capture the old school innocence of past RPGs, rather than trying to create ultra realistic graphics. That is a good thing.
  3. I love these lame jokes. I have a few. 1)Why did the chicken cross the park? ans: To get to the other slide!! 2)Why did the girl spray her clock with bug spray? ans: Because it had too many ticks in it! 3)What kind of fly has a frog in it's throat? ans: A hoarse(horse) fly!
  4. As a fan of creative writing myself, I find it nice to read other people's stories. Keep up the good work.
  5. I'm entering this topic kind of late, but I'd say the worst Nintendo system was the Virtua Boy. It had the shortest life span, and it just made me plain dizzy. Some of the games were pretty good, but alas, it went under... And as far as Micheal Vitale goes, I don't want to be mean or anything pal, but judging by your posts, I wouldn't exactly say that you're too far above the twelve and under range. Don't preach anything about GameCube hosting kid's games, when legally you couldn't buy the adult games like RE, anyway.
  6. What I got from Suikoden is that when many individuals gather together in the name of a common cause and unite that they can overcome any obstacle. Each of them experienced their own personal trageties and losses, yet by confiding in one another and using each other as a crutch, they defeated evil and overcame adversity. People can not only cause each other misery, but joy as well. That's what I got from it. I'm sure it's different for everyone.
  7. Sorry, the fourth form does exist, but if it's any consolation, it's easier than the third.

    Actually you can find a copy of Final Fantasy VII for your PC for under twenty bucks. They're usually in the bin with older PC games in stores like EB or Babages.
  9. Contrary to various reports, I've read that Nash hasn't signed a real contract yet. It's either a verbal deal, or a temporary document preventing talks with the WWA. Scott Hall is totally up in the air. He might just stick with touring Japan for a while.
  10. That's not a lame joke. As a matter of fact, I can just picture some doofus, with a wide grin on his face walking up to a water cooler that is currently occupied by the "in crowd." Listening to them hooting and hollaring over all kinds of perverted jokes, he decides to muster up enough courage to interject, saying, "Well, did you guys hear about the guy that walked into a bar and fell down?" They'd say confusedly, "No, what about him?" And he'd return with pride, "Well, he walked into a bar, and get this, HE FELL DOWN!!" The cool guys would just look at him like he farted and slap him, at which time he'd return to his cubicle and cry.
  11. All you guys saying that he's going to reform his alliance with Stephanie might incorrect. He's obviously a babyface, so it just wouldn't work. I've read that he's going to do a divorce angle. Anyway, the heck with Triple H, I want good old Kevin Nash back!
  12. Usually when people are forced to adapt to a new environment and meet new people, they convince themselves that there is a certain bar that they must live up to- a standard to meet in making an impression. I'm willing to bet that you think things are worse than they actually are. Look on the bright side; It's better for them to laugh at you than not notice you at all. Just be yourself, and you'll do fine. After all, if someone likes you for the person that you are pretending to be and not the real you, they are not worth your time anyway. Make yourself a better person and know who [I]you[/I] are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
  13. Okay, the first thing you should do is go all out on the hand that is left over from the fight before. Once that is done, just start attacking the head, don't worry about the body. Now hopefully you have some items to get back your magic, because about half way through the fight you're gonna be in trouble if you don't. The entire time Lemina should use White Dragon Protect. Jean should use Dragon Palm to save MP (not Kick). Hiro will use Triple Sword for as long as he can and Ronfar will heal the entire party (EVERY TURN). There are a lot of factors that go into this fight. Once this form is dead, it will crack up like a mirror, then the easy part comes! Yes, it's form 4!! Good luck!

    There kinda is a world map, but it's not three dimensional and you're not free to wander around on it. The game is extremely linear. As you progress to a new area, the map will overlay on the screen and show the location that you have arrived at. Later on, you can enter coordinates into the airship to travel to previously explored areas.
  15. I might not be Safer, but I can tell you that FFXII will be in the same vein as previous Final Fantasies. It will be focused on a single player quest. Maybe they'll let you download a couple of quests, costumes, or items, but that's most likely as far as it will go.
  16. My guess is that he meant health or misspelled the name of a hidden character pretty badly.
  17. Here's one more: An Illinois man left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel in Florida, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen: DEAREST WIFE: JUST GOT CHECKED IN. EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW. P.S. SURE IS HOT DOWN HERE.
  18. Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. I guess, it only works for some of us.Maybe when you become older and deal with the the trials of adult life, you will look back on how you live now as a time of simplicity. I'd be foolish to promise that though, as I have no clue how you live or what you go through. I'm glad it made you feel a little better though. Anyway, here's an an old, yet fun joke. A burglar broke into a house one night. He shone his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying "Jesus is watching you." He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, clicked the light back on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is watching you." Freaked out, he shone his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. "Did you say that?" he hissed at the parrot. "Yep," the parrot confessed, "I'm just trying to warn you." The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who are you?" "Moses," replied the bird. "Moses" the burglar laughed. "What kind of stupid people would name a parrot Moses?" "Probably the same kind of people that would name a rotweiller Jesus," the bird answered.
  19. "This isn't really a joke(even though I love posting them), but it is something I saw on a site that they would like passed on. It's [I]supposed[/I] to cheer you up. Enjoy." I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again. I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks. I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day. I want to return to a time when life was simple; When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset. I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again. I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones. I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow. So . . . here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause........ ......"Tag! You're it."
  20. I have the first Turok:The Dinosaur Hunter, but I doubt that's worth anything. My most valuable comic, is the one where Superman dies. It may not be worth a lot of money, but it was just so critical in the world of comic books.
  21. Nickname: Chuck, Charlie, Jackass(that's my brother's pet name for me) Age: 20 Income: About 15 grand(only part time job) Favorite Smilie: Definitely the Mr. T smilie Favorite Power Ranger: The Green Ranger. Time of Birth : 1 something in the morning. Do you think the teletubbies are demonseeds? YES Favorite Cartoon Cartoon: Dexter's Laboratory Favorite Japanese Anime: DragonBallZ Favorite Font: Anyone that I can read What kind of pet do you have, if any? The annoying kind, i.e. dog, cat, and two turtles. What are their names? Dog:Missy, Cat:Kitty, Turtles: Leonardo and Donatello. Favorite "Grown-Up" American Cacrtoon? The Simpsons How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood, and what did Peter Piper do with his pickled peppers after he picked them, in your opinion? Hey, that(wood chuck question) used to be the entrance phrase into the MASTERdeBATORS!! The answer is nine number two pencils and he sold the pickled peppers on the black market.
  22. Unfortunately, in some worst case scenarios, the parents cannot keep the child. If the child is completely deformed or critically sick, it can be best to find them an institution. This is mainly because the medical bills would be insane, and taking care of the person would take the the entire day, every day. I mean, say the child's bones are so weak that they break very easily, or they are so sick that they cannot go outside;"What kind of life can you give your child?" It may be better for the child to be around others that were born like him/her and overcome their handicaps with the help of professionals. Kids will be cruel like that. It doesn't mean that the parents can't visit. I hope this doesn't sound cold..because it's a very realistic option. In the worst case scenario that I'm presenting, the child would always be dependent on other people anyway.
  23. I guess that I'd have to be in that situation to really make the call. However, I do know that I would not kill the child. Murdering an innocent life, an innocent child, just because he/she is different is wrong. If I knew that I couldn't take care of him/her, I'd find the right home or institution that could give the person a decent life. Then again, like I said before, I'd have to be in that position.
  24. I wouldn't lose faith in Nintendo over this if I were you. We're coming off the holidays, and it's typical for developers to hold off on their bigger products for better sales. If you think about it, there's no a whole lot coming out for Xbox right now either that's all that great. With Sony's huge number of spectacular releases this holiday season, you'll find that the first quarter line up for the PlayStation 2 will be quite tame as well. At least Third Parties are making games for the GameCube. That's a good sign if anything. It'd be bad news, if you only had five games on there and three were from Nintendo. Anyway, Virtua Striker 3 couldn't be that bad....

    I'll try to explain Blitzball. You've already been given the actual purpose of the game-a means of entertainment that helps the citizens of Spira forget about Sin. The game is played inside a sphere of water. Blitzball players can hold their breath for hours. Anyway, the point of the game, like soccer, is to score more goals than the opposing team by throwing, or kicking the ball into a net. There are two periods split into five minutes and a halftime in between. The game is played via a menu system. You can allow the computer to control the character in possession of the ball, or do it yourself. This is for offense only. On defense, the computer will always control your team. When another player(or players) of the opposing team comes into contact with you(player with ball), or "challenges" you, a menu will come up. It gives the player the option to break through the defense, pass the ball, or shoot the ball. If you break through, you can dribble(continue to hold the ball), shoot it, or pass it to another player. However, this is all based on numbers. Your character has certain attributes for passing ability, shooting ability, and endurance(what's needed to break). If the opposing player(s) have higher blocking ability than you have passing or shooting ability, the pass or shot will be intercepted. If you have lower endurance than they do, you will be stripped of the ball when you try to break. When you pass or shoot, your passing or shooting ability will drain. If the number reaches zero, the pass will be dropped or the shot will be blocked by the keeper. When you are locked in a challenge, if you have higher passing ability, than the defender, the pass will be "tapped" yet still continue towards its destination, but your overall number will be subtracted by the defenders number. For instance, if you have 10 passing ability, and they have 7 and you throw it, your passing ability will more often than not, be reduced to three. That should cover the premise of it.
