[color=indigo]There is already a pseudo-sequel to Super Mario RPG in the form of Paper Mario. If you don't already have it, I recommend it :)[/color]

[color=indigo]Okay, I think I got it working. And no, it's not a Nintendo page. I'll show a little more soon ;)[/color]

Agh, it usually works for me once I place the image on a page. Oh well, hold on a moment, I'll fix it :)

[color=indigo]I loved the first Silent Hill...the atmosphere was so insane that playing it was almost a bad experience...yet I think everyone who plays it was undeniably drawn to it. The idea of that kind of atmosphere on a more powerful console really makes my head spin. The visuals in this game are much more realistic and disturbing than the first.[/color]

[color=indigo]In the spirit of all things new and fresh (as well as the constant questions from AIM) I thought I'd provide a small teaser of Otaku Media's newest project. [IMG]http://jamesotaku.tripod.com/images/Teaser1.jpg[/IMG] Hopefully as we get a little closer to completion, I can provide everyone with some more revealing sneek peaks. 'till then, I hope this keeps you guessing. ;)[/color]

[color=red]Yep, despite all its problems...Metroid Prime is certainly looking promising. I can't wait to play it. :)[/color]

[color=blue]I remember when it was my birthday this year...saying to Adam "Hey, today's my birthday!" And he was like "OMG! Mine is tomorrow!" The dates are the same I think, but Australia is like...14 hours ahead of America. So my birthday was physically a day before his. Still...it's very weird. The only other thing Adam and I share in common is the reaction we have to chocolate milkshakes when we're feeling sick. lol *sigh* It sucks to love something so much only to have it make you feel worse when you're sick lol. Oh well...I'm getting off the track here... ...now where did I leave my pills...[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by gundamcat17 [/i] [B]i'm sorry i am one of a dying breed of people that refuses to use aol products...including netscape...i don't know why any one else on these boards use icq. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=blue]I use ICQ. I actually prefer ICQ to AIM! But nobody seems to use ICQ these days...which is a shame, I think it's better.[/color]

[color=red]I had to add another one quickly, because I thought that this building looks cool. :) *sigh* I just can't get enough of Final Fantasy X :) [/color] [IMG]http://ps2media.ign.com/media/previews/image/ffcg/ffcg_16.jpg[/IMG]

[color=indigo]Ahh, we all still have quite some time until Final Fantasy X reaches Australia the USA and Europe. So I thought I'd post some newly released FMV shots of the game up here. If you have any cool FFX shots that you want to add, feel free, but please...so that this thread doesn't take up too much memory, let's keep the images here JUST FFX. If you want screenshot/art threads for another FF game, feel free to start a thread of your own! :) Just a warning, these shots [i]may[/i] be spoilers for some of you. So if you don't want to see anything revealing at all yet, then don't look. :) Enjoy![/color] [IMG]http://ps2media.ign.com/media/previews/image/ffx/finalfantasyx_21.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://ps2media.ign.com/media/previews/image/ffcg/ffcg_15.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://ps2media.ign.com/media/previews/image/ffcg/ffcg_73.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://ps2media.ign.com/media/previews/image/ffcg/ffcg_65.jpg[/IMG]

[color=indigo]For those of you who are interested, check out the character FMV shots below. These were, as always, provided by IGN. By the way, who here owns the original Silent Hill? And who wants to get Silent Hill 2?[/color] [IMG]http://ps2media.ign.com/media/news/image/silenthill2/james_m.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://ps2media.ign.com/media/news/image/silenthill2/angela_m.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://ps2media.ign.com/media/news/image/silenthill2/maria_m.jpg[/IMG]

[color=indigo]I have a plain ol' Aussie accent. -_- But in Australia, much like America, we have different accents. Kinda like...compare someone from New York to someone from Texas. You have your country and your city accents. Same goes for Australia, although an American may have trouble working out the difference between the two. So, Nicole Kidman has more of a city accent. The crocodile hunter has a more country accent (he's our equivalent to your George Bush). I have a city accent. If that helps you imagine it at all lol.[/color]

[color=indigo]IGNcube has uncovered some interesting new information on Metroid Prime for GameCube. Apparently the first person view of the game is designed to allow you to see through Samus's eyes. Literally. In order to produce this effect, the game will visibly show the helmet infront of your face. The visor of the helmet will have various digital displays regarding enemies and information about the local environment. In addition, it has been mentioned that if your visor gets wet, you'll actually see streaks of water running along it infront of your face, which could mean that you'll have to consider the environment more deeply. I think it's a great idea and I really hope that it does justice to the Metroid franchise. IGNcube has created a mockup of what this feature could look like, as shown below. Remember that this isn't an actual shot; it's a mockup of how the game could possibly look.[/color] [IMG]http://cubemedia.ign.com/media/previews/image/metroidprime/metroidprimeview1.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by RicoTranzrig [/i] [B]The reason he gave to me wasn't too clear, but I think I got what Gendou was trying to say... [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]There is no legitimate reason of course. All you have here are a few vandals who think that just because they didn't get their way, they have a right to disrupt our community. There is no big secret or anything, it just comes down to vandalism and stupidity.[/color]

[color=indigo]Ack! Sorry everyone, I am using a Tripod homepage to post my images to link...but unfortunately I made a mistake. :( I'll fix it up soon so that the above image displays properly. :)[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by RicoTranzrig [/i] [B]Is sega actually going to quit the console buisness and become a true-thrid party...or is it just earning extra money to produce a next-gen console... [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]They're quitting the console business altogether. They are now a completely independant third party publisher[/color]

[color=indigo]Originally I thought it looked weird...but now I really think it looks cool. Everyone I know who's held it says that it's really comfortable...so it'll be great to try out with actual game software.[/color]

[color=indigo]Yep. Nintendo and Sony were working on a CD add-on for SNES. But Nintendo soon realized that add-ons weren't very hot and apparently Nintendo didn't like the quality of Sony's technology. So Nintendo dumped 'em and went on to develop Nintendo 64. Sony kept the SNES CD machine going and turned it into the PlayStation. :) It's a cool story hehe [/color]

[color=indigo][b]I'm happy that you like it, I really didn't know if it would be well accepted...but I think that it really matches our boards quite well.[/b][/color]

[color=red]Hehe, death by cow! What an undignified way to die.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by SSj3 Gotenks [/i] [B]Are We Ever Going To Get our Avatars Back [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo] Please see the Custom Avatars & Avatar Sizes topic. That will give you all the info you need, so that the main board doesn't get clogged up with topics like this.[/color]

[color=indigo]I started this topic because a lot of people have been asking me about the logo at the bottom of the screen. Basically, this little logo is a window on the future :) Otaku Media is a new media label run by myself and Adam. You will soon see the logo on all of theOtaku's sites. It's kind of like Snowball owning IGN - same concept. As mentioned on the previous boards, Otaku Media is working on a third entertainment site. We hope to launch it before the end of the year, and we'll be talking about it in more detail soon. :) Here's a slightly closer look at the logo for those who are interested.[/color] [IMG]http://www.theotaku.com/otaku-media.gif[/IMG]

[color=indigo]Okay, I've had so many questions about these two issues that I thought I'd address them here. Basically, Custom Avatars are coming soon. When they are up, we'll let you know. And as for Avatar sizes, we are considering having new sizes available as people's ranks increase. So at first you might use only 50x50 avatars, but when you hit a certain rank, you might be able to access 65x65 avatars. These are issues that we are still working through, so please be patient...they're coming :)[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by firemac [/i] [B] this is off topic but, I was reading you mini profile here, and I noticed you are from australia, that must be cool, you live all the way over there, that's way cool [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]Yeah, I really enjoy living here. It's a very comfortable place to live...very clean and bright. It's also kinda cool because even though we have a lot of western influence, we're located right in Asia, so we get a lot of that influence too. It's kind of an interesting mix. :) [/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by dark lord [/i] [B]how do u get avatars???? i liked my old one [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]Go to Profile, then Edit Options and then down the bottom you'll see an Avatars section. Simply click "choose avatar" and there you go :)[/color]
