MILFord, CT: We do moms
I can't really speak on the others, but the unlimited continue + 5712983749213 checkpoints/level format really takes away from the experience for me and it seems to be the norm these days. It's sorta stupid of me, I guess, since I could self impose "I'm not going to die this level" restrictions on myself, but ultimately I feel a much greater sense of accomplishment from a game that is designed to kicked my *** and not cut me any breaks than one that is designed for you to be able to beat it off of persistence and perfecting little 5 minute intervals of action between checkpoints.
I agree, and kinda disagree lol. Great hard games have been giving people checkpoints since the days of nintendo. Whether its a code to start at a certain boss/level, or if you die you start at the first level of the last world(ninja gaiden). Would you really prefer that there were no checkpoints? That would make me never buy a game ever again. What's the point of getting through the same part of a game over and over just to get a chance at beating the next part again, only to die and repeat the whole process, what a waste of time. Try re5 or GoW on high difficulty. I think you'll find plenty of challenge, and you'll be begging for the next checkpoint. In re5 for instance, they grade you on your performance, so if you want an 'S' ranking, you have to not die, and get a certain amount of kills, and do it in a certain amount of time. So despite checkpoints, it still matters whether you die or not. And GoW is toooooo fun and challenging at the same time.

Levels are fine. Maybe 1 checkpoint in the middle, depending on Level length. Checkpoints should only last until you run out of continues, at which point, you have to restart the level. Typical Mega Man formula I guess. That's my feeling on keeping dying relevant without destroying all sense of accomplishment for beating a level with 1 life left.

LOL'd SO HARD.

SO...who wants to play Melee this weekend...or just hang out? Both of those would probably involve me being intoxicated in some form or another, soooo you have been warned.
Steve, I'm actually going to a concert in NY Friday night lol. I might be able to smash Saturday night though. What dorm are you staying in/could we smash there? If not I'll find out if my friend's roomate is staying at his dorm this weekend.
=[ Don't forget to visit me guysss T_T.
I think my mom wants me moved to the Children's hospital because the nurses actually do what you ask them to do there. Plus I think I can get more TVs if needed. Smashfest in my hospital room guys, you know you want to.

For #1, 2:35-3:04 is amazing with watching PC dance. LOL
#3 also works really well from like ~2/3 mins in and after that.
#4 is awesome because I'm greek. I ripped it. I'm also ripping #3.

Yeah, Mogwai, I'm a ff7 fanboy lol. I was just comparing Chrono Trigger to the only other rpg I've played. /doesn't really play rpg's but loves them

:( I never got into Red/Blue, like I played it a little bit but didn't get really into it until 2nd gen (gold/silver I played silver). My friend and I would always try and outdo eachother. He ended up getting Mew and I still beat him practically everytime. Hooray for duplication cheat.

If you ask me Pokemon though, I only know 1-150(not off the top of my head now though)...maybe a little more since I played slightly past that. Pokemon cards ftw.

LOL @ army of Robos!!!!! That's amazing. LOL

My team right now in Chrono Trigger is
Chrono, Frog, and Marle(even though she sucks she's good at healing). I was going to put Robo in there but he just sucks **** at healing... he's only level 18 though so idk.

Mogwai (and everyone else for that matter), get Excite Truck for the wii. BY FAR the best game for wii IMHO. It might be the funnest game i've played in the last many years. Replay value is SUPER HIGH. It's uncomparably fun when you're drunk(lol drinking and driving). And believe it or not requires a good amount of tech skill to be great at it. I WISH it had a competitive following. Makes the best use of wii controls i've seen, very responsive. I've played it more than any other game so far on the system.

Oh man, how did I forget Mario Kart 64. My friends and I have been playing that on my wii since I got it hacked. I'm not good or anything because otherwise I'd never get to play it with them.... just like what happened with Melee/every other fighter due to melee. :( My friends are such scrubs. Playing a game for fun and not making it too competitive (only to the point of they want to win but don't want to learn a whole bunch of stuff), pshhhh.

Cort probably knows like every good game known to man I bet. Cort give a list please!!! :D

From thruyou I liked #2 and 6 the most.

Mogwai, that was good/funny lol.

omg, thank you so much!

I just remembered that when the wii first came out I was playing that game a ton @ my friend's house and it was beast as hell and I COMPLETELY forgot it when I got my own wii. I'm like, really stoked now.

Actually, I sorta enjoyed boom blox a lot too, but the replay value is kinda low. It was cool for a once over though, fun puzzles for the most part.

holy hand grenade ftw



BTW
hear that okami for the PSdouble is better. I was told the port of the brush system to the wiimote was sloppy. this is just what ive heard.......
<3MontyPython.
Nah, the brush system is fine as long as nothing gets in the way of your infrared. You just have to learn the strokes.

Well ****. Hope hes okay. =[

OMG Pakman, WORMS?

I played W:A and WWP religiously for sooooo long.

Get @ my proping skills.
YES. I had a pirated copy of WWP and I put my own sounds into it. I have a bunch of homestarrunner sounds in it. Before the worms blow up you hear strong bad go DELETED. And when my team wins it plays the cheat commando theme. Also, my proping skills are nothing to shake a stick at.

Low gravity bats were definitely my favorite part.

EDIT: OH GIRL!!!!! If people get hamachi, we can play online.

They released a down loadable version on PSN and it blows.

Spawn, I hope your dad is well.

Thanks everyone. He just got home today and the doctors told him to get lots of rest. He has to eat less fatty foods(which he's been doing now) and go through Cardiac rehab but other than that they said he'd be fine. :)

Last night wasn't the actual heart attack (it happened somewhat recently maybe a week/two ago). He was just feeling weird(to put it briefly) so he decided to stop by the doctor's office and then they sent him to the hospital. Luckily, it isn't anything too major. The doctors don't know what caused the symptoms, but they checked all the big problems that it could have been and it wasn't any of those. They're assuming it's just that the meds they're giving him weren't strong enough so they made those stronger.


Nick, after going to pick up my dad, would we have to go to the parking garage and then pay for parking in order to visit you? Also, what hospital is it?

Yes, my guild has cleared a few of the Bosses they put on the PTR for testing.

I'm Alliance though :/
LOL I would have never guessed Paul's Alliance.

Yeah, Mogwai, I'm a ff7 fanboy lol. I was just comparing Chrono Trigger to the only other rpg I've played. /doesn't really play rpg's but loves them

What are people's favorite games other than fighting games?
Talking to Dave has made me realize I'm addicted to Ragnarok Online. I probably should have realized this after playing it for 8 years.

You could really say that about any RPG.

Because RPGs are easy.

oh yeah, Ayla... I kind of hate that I have to giver her a party slot just because she has Charm. makes me wish CT had a 4 party system.
But... she's the best character. <_<

I really don't know why you needed my help to realize this.

Mogwai: Battletoads in Battlemaniacs is SO HARD. I've never gotten past the speeder bike level without save states. Then again, all the levels after that suck so it's probably for the best.

My favorite games:

Tales of Symphonia
Resident Evil 4
Super Metroid
Secret of Mana
Secret of Evermore
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy Tactics
Chrono Trigger
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Jet Force Gemini

Probably some others I forgot.
