  • Marc, I'll start tackling all of Marth's write-ups soon. Are we allowed to see any Phase3 results yet, or are writeups for those unnecessary as of now?
    It's a very good stick. I actually own one of those, though it's an earlier rendition of the same product. I would highly recommend it. It comes with great parts (Sanwa is what official Japanese arcade cabinets use), and the fact that you can use it on PS3, 360, and PC is huge too. It saves a lot of time and trouble trying to dual-mod it. It's also very pretty. :3c

    I would definitely recommend it. I use mine all the time, and it's great. I have no complaints whatsoever.
    I'll try to do it today when I'm hanging with a friend. This will probably be my last time to do it since school is starting tomorrow for me.
    Haha, fair enough. I know what you mean though. I try to make Layton games last as long as possible.
    Read your message real quick. My parents are in town for the weekend, so I'll shoot you a response tomorrow.
    Of course its easy to send the link to people, but I have to find out if they are even interested <,<

    Well, ok, I'll send the link to the first 7 persons I told you, if someone doesnt want to do it, I'll link it to the next one...
    Sorry yeah I dont have much time atm =_=

    As I already said, maybe give the status to Gheb or someone else... idk :X
    You have been bitten by the MetaVamp!

    You have now been infected and are encouraged to bite another to help show that I can never be stopped on Ole Hallows Eve~! Report your victims back to me, I like to keep a careful count of my minions!
    **** up too much and it will haunt you forever.

    Love,
    Saiyans

    P.S.: If you're Freeza, you're ****ed already.
    lol @ Riddick being censored. What is this ****.

    And yeah, Diesel's not a great actor by any means, but he's serviceable with a good director. He's quite good in Pitch Black because he's not the center of the show, he's a supporting character, with Johns and especially Carolyn Fry (the new captain/protagonist) to play off of him as straight men. It suits him better, because he doesn't need to do much real acting and the few times he actually does it is easier to swallow because they're so few and far between. Generally he just needs to have presence, which he certainly does as this character.

    What were the other recommendations again? Other than PTA's library that is.
    Since I know you're one of the few Back Roomers that is also a snake plissken fan (aka: people I will save when the zombies come), I thought I'd recommend a movie I think you'd really dig.

    It's called Pitch Black, and it's one of my favorite sci-fi movies. It's about this group of people on a commercial space shuttle that crash on this desert planet with a weird, three-star orbit. The main character is the pilot, who has to step up when her captain dies in the crash. Then you have a bunch of fun, eccentric characters, like a rich artifacts dealer, a kid, a muslim holy man with his followers, and a couple of bushwackers. Also, my favorite characters: William Johns, a space marshal of sorts transporting a fugitive back to prison, and the fugitive himself, Richard Rid****.

    Rid**** is like Snake Plissken, if you moved him just slightly further down the moral line toward "evil/self-interest". You never really know what he's going to do. It takes liberal inspiration from Plissken, but makes a fresh character out of him in this way. Also, PB has two things on the Escape films: A worthy rival (Johns, Rid****'s longstanding arch-nemesis; their chemistry reeks of history and mutual respect/hate, it's great) which Snake never really had because he's better and smarter than everyone. And secondly, by making the pilot the protagonist instead of either Johns or Rid****, they just kind of have this person trapped in a moral conflict they don't really want anything to do with. Characters like Johns and Rid**** are more interesting from the outside looking in.

    So, yeah, I really think you'd dig it. Also there's a sequel but god damn it it sucks. It has some good bits, but it also sucks. But you can check it out if you like PB enough. Or you could just get the 360 game, which is actually two games in one, and has lots of that Johns/Rid**** history hinted at in the first film. And it's just so damn fun.
    I got it all cleared up, life is good again :p
