[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by GinnyLyn [/i] [B]I know, I know, it's awful early to be asking for help since the game has just come out...but Cerberus is driving me BONKERS and the internet is not yielding any tips on how to put this bad boy down. Can anyone help? [/B][/QUOTE] I wish that I could give wonderful advice, but I only fought the boss to see what it was like before I shut the game off after the tournament, lol. My advice would be to stock up on potions (preferably High Potions) and properly equip your characters with "armor" items and the aforementioned potions. When fighting him, be sure to stick and move. Don't stay in one spot. He has an attack that shoots up from the ground and follows your character around. Be sure to stay on the move and watch out for it. Plus, keep your secondary characters alive--they aid in distracting the boss. Sorry, that's the best advice that I can give for now. I'll have to tackle this big boy when I have more time, lol.

Nonconformity is so passe, lol. Most people who try to stand out, end up being swallowed into another group who dress or act similarly. In society, we are all manufactured, programmed, and packaged to act a certain way and fit in with society. In the end, it all comes down to your society's ideology. For instance, if I asked how many of you have had sex with a goat, you would probably cringe at the question and feverishly deny it. [I]But[/I] if I asked an ancient civilization, such as the Hittites, if they ever had sex with a goat, they would proudly proclaim that they had. In such a society, there was a list explaining which animals were sexy enough to have sex with. So, we are basically all conformists. We do what we're told and we're happy with that. If people stand out in a big way, they're usually made fun of or put down. After all, how would everyone here react to someone who has sex with goats? My point exactly, lol. :toothy:

[color=blue]I love solitaire. It's how I pass the time away. I tried playing poker with my Robot Masters, but Cut Man wasn't exactly the best partner. Being an evil doctor, I've never had much luck with the ladies. When I was a youngster, conversations usually ended when they asked me what I did for a living. When Megaman came about, I lost all hope. Potential brides seemed to adore that blasted robot. Anxious for the company, I invited my new chum, Dr. Robotnik over for soup and sandwiches. When he arrived, the castle was spotless--I had given my little Robot Masters strict orders to tidy up. I couldn't believe who he arrived with--standing beside him was that slovenly plumber's brother. But--he looked different. His hair--it was slicked back with an exuberant amount of hair gel (Note to self: potential Robot Master: Hair Gel Man. Gel bubble attack, like Bubble Man's water bubble attack). Even his thinly trimmed mustache seemed to drip with oil. Well, at least he exchanged those disgusting overalls for a rather stylish tuxedo. "Well, what are you waiting for," Dr. Robotnik bellowed, "kiss the Don's hand!" Of course, the evil Dr. Wily would never think of bowing down to another man in his own domain! I told them that I'm a land mind and that if they try to step all over me, I'll blow up right in their faces! Mwahaha. That shut them up. Now, I'm sure that you're all wondering what came of the last great meeting of the evil geniuses. Why wouldn't you be? It had been so long since Dr. Wily had reclaimed the spotlight. This time we would be guaranteed success. My museum idea wasn't working out as planned anyway. For some reason, tourists seemed frightened by Skull Castle. Go figure. Together, the three of us agreed that a league of villains was more than necessary. The newest addition to our group would be the one imprisoned in Raccoon City. Albert Wesker.[/color]

Yeah, I don't see why a debate forum would be necessary, myself. If someone wants to debate a specific issue, such as an intricacy of Digimon, then I don't see why the Digimon forum couldn't handle it. One debate forum containing everything from video game debate, to Digimon, to real world events would probably become cluttered and confusing. :whoops:

The worst part of no internet is that I would have never seen that banner of Semjaza Azazel's. :excited: Best--Banner--Ever. Life wouldn't be unbearable without those things. In fact, less cel phones would help in a way. I know that hordes of teens would kick, stomp and get all red in the face, but without cel phones, their writing and reading skills would improve tremendously. With all this technology, we're becoming a more talk-oriented world, and a lot of youngsters suffer because of that. Even in college, I noticed someone using "u" to represent "you" in a draft of an essay. Suffice to say, I scratched furious insults and pen markings upon his paper. Plus, [I]every[/I] English/Writing class I have begins with the same mundane lecture i.e. the differences between your and you're, they're and their, and finally its and it's. Also, a lot of people say alot or alright instead of all right. I mean, at a certain level you shouldn't have to be reminded of those things. Thank you cel phones!

Bah, Sadam Hussein's offer to open his nation to inspections means less than people believe it does. Iraq has agreed to admit inspectors many time before, only to block, harass, mislead an expel them. I feel that the Bush administration is completely justified in moving for a new U.N. resolution on inspections that accelerate the timetable for the inspections and that provides much tougher and definitive standards for judging Iraqi cooperation. In any case, the inspectors are looking for a needle in a hay stack, lol. It's not like there's a neon sign pointing out hidden materials. Some of these weapons may be stored in a hole in a ground covered with tarpaulin and earth. It would take [I]very[/I] good intelligence information to uncover something like that. Take into consideration that first time inspectors are easily tricked and useless and you see where I'm going. Plus, if you think that the Iraqi guards act as benevolent hosts who readily make information available, you're naive. ;) Experienced weapons inspectors have stated that they have faced locked doors with no keys, nervous fourteen year old guards with artillery, suddenly closed roads and the fact that their surprise inspections aren't really a surprise. What I mean is that the Iraqis know what will be inspected because of intelligence or because they knew what was hidden where. The Iraqis aren't from the stone age either. They use high-tech filters to mask the signatures of dangerous materials. I watched Bush's speech to the U.N. and he didn't limit his demands to mere weapons inspections. He wants Hussein out of power. I can't blame him. ;) As for crime in America--it depends where you go. Urban areas with a concentrated population, poor educational opportunities and lackluster housing are bound to feature high crime rates. In my opinion, recreational centers for youths should be much more plentiful. Such facilities provide role models for children and [I]give them something to do[/I] besides involving themselves with crime.

When I was writing I came up with a pretty good quote. [QUOTE][i]Originally written by Crazy White Boy [/i] [B]Life can be a forty year marriage or a one night stand, but it's never an easy affair. [/B][/QUOTE] For some reason it just came to me while writing. Here is another awesome quote, this time by Katherine Dunham. [B][quote]" I used to want the words 'She tried' on my tombstone. Now I want 'She did it.'"[/B][/Quote] I'm not sure who wrote this one, but my professor put this on the board for us: [Quote][B]You have to write bad before you can learn to write good.[/Quote][/B]

Yeah, Sony only initially released 100,000 adapters. Consider how many Playstation 2 consoles are out there (over ten million) and you may understand why they are in such short supply. Sony is allowing them to trickle out slowly. From what I've read, Sony will ship an abundance over the holidays. If you're in a hurry to acquire one, I suggest you reserve. Anyway, I feel that this question has been adequately answered.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Semjaza Azazel [/i] [B]Everything I've been hearing about this game is about what I expected... it's average. I plan on getting it anyway later today, because it sounds like the type of game I'd play. My only questions are... How much of this game so far is about Disney? Is it too much? Just enough? And is this camera really as bad as everyone is saying? I hear the main problem is that the camera doesn't keep up with the enemies you lock on to. [/B][/QUOTE] While on the initial island, the Final Fantasy approach was prevalent. After an event was completed, the game would cut to a Disney oriented theme. After making it to Traverse Town, the Disney cameos jumped up significantly. In my opinion, it's just enough. But, the Disney license is readily apparent and intertwined thoroughly in the early part of the game mostly through Donald Duck and Goofy. No other Disney character has played much of a role to my recollection. The camera is atrocious, lol. It swings around uncontollably at times and fails to adjust properly, as to provide a good view of the action. Critics of Mario Sunshine's camera will probably be thankful for it after playing this game. Also, the story doesn't seem as strong as a typical Square game thus far. Although, some of the Disney bits are hilarious.

I reserved it Monday and picked it up today. I didn't have any trouble at all. The only game that I really had to reserve as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Anyway, I didn't get too unforunately, so I haven't experienced much of what the game has to offer. Initially, you make various decisions reflecting your personality and attributes. When Sora awakens, the player is treated to the game's awesome cut scene engine. As I expected, the facial animations are superb and the voice acting thus far appears to be excellent. Then again, most people would pick that up from reading a review Right now, the gameplay isn't too varied and I'm left a tad disappointed. I'm not even a half hour in and I've completed two scavenger hunts. Plus, the camera is a real hindrance. I noticed this specifically during the race challenge. Hopping atop trees was unecessarily difficult. I'll update everyone with some more in-depth opinions when I get the proper time to explore the game somewhat.

[B]Note: I hope that the following role-play isn't too offensive to anyone. I tried to make this character thickly stereotypical, lol.[/B] [color=green]He runs-a, he jumps, he swims, he flies, he gets the princess--what does [I]Luigi[/I] get? My goodness, they release a motion picture! Luigi is played by John Leguizamo! Is an insult! [IMG]http://cwb.250free.com/Project_Gamer/luigi.jpg[/IMG] Mama-mia, no, it's a travesty! How could Mario do this to me? Mama and Papa raised us so close. It breaks-a-my heart, to see him become so shallow. That's why I left-ah the family. It was all about Mario--[I]Mario, Mario Mario[/I]! Not anymore! Now, I have a new family. I rescue that stunad brother of mine from a haunted mansion with a vacuum cleaner--was not easy! What does Luigi get? I get nothing! Mario--he takes a vacation after-a-all my hard work. He goes to Delphino Island! Paradise! Where's Luigi's invitation? I get none. Mario says it was-a-lost in the mail. That Mario--he's a rotten sonovabitch! Now, Dr. Robotnik, there's a good man--[I]a good man[/I]. That's why I did it--that's why I helped him escape. He tells me that I'm-a-the real godfather of gaming. Is true! Me, I'm so smart! No one expected Luigi, of all people, to leave the Mario family. That's right, there is no more Luigi Mario. No! Is Don Luigi! My brother, he can eat his heart out. Manja! The doctor, he may look like an egg, but he is very smart. I tell him to recruit that retired doctor. It was-a-raining like cats and dogs, but I still made him go. "Bring him into the family," I say--and he listened! Mario never listened! I travel through time to rescue him--he no listen! I go through a haunted mansion to rescue him--he still no listen! Now, he will listen! The plan, it is simple. Don Luigi's family will become larger. Mario and them other heroes are too arrogant to-a-work together. Mama and papa would be so proud. We'll lock them away, just like they did my family. Never again will they see that great meatball in the sky! Mario Brothers? [I]Fuhgetaboudit[/I].[/color]

Hmm, there have been a number of complaints about that, lol. I felt that it was addressed pretty well in the announcement though. ;) From what I gather, the site isn't yet fully complete.

Well it seems as if GinnyLyn has already found her profile, lol. Of course, here is my good pal, Zidane's: [B]Zadane - ToeJam & Earl[/B] [url]http://www.geocities.com/project_gamer/Player_Profiles/Zidane.html[/url]

Ugh that obviously breaks the rules. Explicit language anyone? Plus, the images in your signature do not fall under accordance to the rules. For your information, the maximum limitations are 500 by 100 pixels and only one image

The game does indeed look impressive. Of course, I would like to see how many of the backgrounds Capcom squeezed in that little cart. The only issue plaguing the game, will likely be the control setup. Capcom is renowned for the golden game play in its titles, but how it can effectively map the control scheme onto the GameBoy Advance (without a hitch) is beyond me. I've heard that certain combos are simplified to compensate. Nonetheless, this will be a fighter worth owning.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Nerdsy [/i] [B][COLOR=deeppink]It seems they sacrificed a lot of missions by letting you buy Shines with Blue Coins. And it probably would have kept me busier if it had set the minimum requirement of Shines beating the game a little higher. [/COLOR] [/B][/QUOTE] Keep in mind that you can only purchase a limited number of shines via blue coins. As Desbreko mentioned, some of the blue coins can be difficult to collect (rivaling the Shines) and you do need to collect ten in order to purchase a Shine. Having said that, I enjoy the game. The water pack and its large degree of uses make a world of difference, as does the sheer scope of the levels. Plus, the design of the worlds is incredible. Exploring that coral reef is a prime example of what I'm trying to get across. It doesn't matter to me that the game can be completed with the current requirement of Shines, because I'll still be compelled to finish the the game one-hundred percent, just as I was in Mario 64. The camera, as mentioned in a million reviews, can be a bit bothersome, but I've grown accustomed to it from my Mario 64 days, so it's not too difficult a flaw to overcome.

Hmm, I got a 160. Too bad I was slowed down talking to someone, lol. I only did it for fun though. You can rack that number up as high as you want, but it's ethics that determine success. So, I don't see much importance in IQ tests.

I actually read quite a lot. For instance, I must read the newspaper daily (it's a requirement for journalism). Of course, we have to keep up on current events, so it's a necessity. Plus, I read a lot of epics and literary classics. Presently, I've gone over Gilgamesh again. It's very similar to Beowulf, but influenced by the pessimism of Sumarian culture. As dweebish as it sounds, I love it. There are so much underlying ideology, that it becomes fun to dive in and pick it apart. Reading is great. Over the years, it's really helped out my own vocabulary and writing skills. As boring as it might sound, everyone should devote some time to reading. Heck, it can even be publications such as video game magazines. :box:

I agree Renegade. There are a multitude of infinitely superior fighting games on the PSX. Ultimate Battle 22's backgrounds are sadly sterile and boring, while the gameplay leaves much to be desired. There is little to no depth to distinguish characters from one another. Suffice to say, one would be better off with Street Fighter Alpha 3 (even for GameBoy advance, lol). Keep in mind that Ultimate Battle 22 debuted sometime around 1995. ;)

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Krillen [/i] [B]OOC: None of us can get into our Profile yet, so Ill just let everyone know that I am Yoshi on each of my posts until we can get to our signatures again. [/B][/QUOTE] Hmm. you can still get into your profile by clicking the private message link at the bottom of the main page. And there's no reason why I should object to your post James. That interaction with Link was splendid. :toothy: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [color=red]I didn't know what to think. That wretched Sonic and his meddlesome friends had spoiled my plans one too many times. Where did I go wrong? Every year I reveal my newest caper--my résistance Finale, in an attempt to acquire complete and utter world domination. But not last year. [I]No[/I], that pesky Hedgehog foiled my latest and greatest scheme to date. You see, time after time, I imprison innocent animals and convert them into Badniks in a grand effort to obtain the seven chaos emeralds. But, oh no! Sonic had grown quite expectant of such exercises. I had to catch him off guard! What did I do you ask? Why, I created a grand petting zoo! Balloons, candy, souvenirs--by George, I had it all. All the charm of a petting zoo without the putrid odor! Ho, ho ho, I would use my devilish wiles to lure in what everyone values most--their young children! Ho, ho, ho, I'm so evil it hurts sometimes. [I]Ow.[/I] Surely, with the world's children held ransom, even Sonic would have no choice but to hand over those precious emeralds to yours truly. "Oh delightful day," I thought, "world conquest shall be mine at last." Boy was I wrong. Somehow that cursed Hedgehog and his companions caught wind of my plans and sabotaged my secret underground factory before my plot could come into fruition. [B]Drat, drat and double drat! I despise you Sonic! One day I shall heap fury upon your jagged head![/B] [IMG]http://therob578.250free.com/ProjectGamer/sonicdead.jpg[/IMG] Ahem, pardon me, that was quite rude on my part. Shall I continue? Yes, very well then. After the petting zoo facade was exposed for what it was, I was imprisoned. The sentence: indefinite. It seems that using innocent children as a pawn in a game of global conquest is unethical--or so they say. Bound by the chains of the newly instituted legal system, and cast unto a future of solitary confinement, only one thing remained certain--I would have my revenge! After all, [I]I always come back.[/I] At least I had cable television and nachos. I also reveled in my own splendor as I consumed as many chili dogs as my rotund body allowed. Yes, I would deplete the world's supply of chili dogs! That would be my revenge against that peon, Sonic. Some time later, a superior opportunity to settle the score presented itself; I took it without hesitation. Who would have expected that it would be [I]him[/I], the epitome of heroism, that would release the world renowned Dr. Ivo Robotnik from captivity?! Admittedly, even I was a tad taken. As per his request, I tracked down that simpleton, Dr. Albert Wily at a Starbucks (they're everywhere aren't they) nearby Skull Castle. You should have seen him--it was pathetic. The fool was outraged that a zit-riddled teenager didn't recognize him. He insisted that he was a celebrity. The cashier was stifling laughter. Pumping his arms into the air like a madman, Wily then proceeded to scream at the poor boy regarding the steep price of the coffee on hand. Of course, the teen recognized me when I caught his eye. After all, I'm a world renowned scientist--not like that Dr. Wily. What kind of mad doctor wears a laboratory coat nowadays anyway? It's so eighties. After signing the boy's autograph book and shrugging off a mob of admirers, I then proceeded to Wily's table, where he literally jumped at the opportunity to work alongside a professional of my caliber. Playing it cool, I told him that I would consider a partnership. Sweet, succulent, juicy, revenge will be mine! I'm sorry, it's just that I've developed quite the liking for chili dogs since my prison stint.[/color]

Hmm, well, I thought that it was common knowledge that members only play as their own character. Basically, I find it acceptable to mention other characters in a role-play, but members should have the common courtesty to contact another member before they use their character in a controversial way or make an attempt to alter their personality.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Semjaza Azazel [/i] [B]I think DMA was recently renamed to Rockstar something though[/B][/QUOTE] Yep, DMA is now going under the label of Rockstar North. Anyway, Rare is a quality developer. Titles such as Perfect Dark Zero would definitely benefit from a cross platform deal. Especially with Sony and Microsoft's more fleshed-out online plans.

As I've said before, the battle system was fantastic in this title. Since most role-playing games feature battles as a prominant chunk in the gameplay formula, it's very important that this area of the game delivers. An element field in the upper left hand corner of the screen, that shifts momentum really adds another dimension to the enjoyment during particularly tense battle sequences. Plus, the sheer configuration of magic spells and abilities is fantastic. Another impressive aspect was the generous number of well-developed playable characters. Although there aren't any famliar faces, most of the individuals you join forces with are fun to play as and feature cool situations when you run into their (sometimes vastly different) counterpart in the opposite dimension. Perhaps most exciting of all, is that the game actually proves more interesting once completed. Similarly to Chrono Trigger, a plethora of new endings, items and bosses await once you finish once through. So yeah, I'm a fan of the game. ^^;;
