The definition of "like" assumes a complete understanding has taken place. Does a complete understanding require a direct experience? If yes, Pay RT is right. If no, Xyro is right.

***** I made a post mid August saying not to come to that tourney so I can win... Granted I couldn't even go myself due to work :(




Side note anyone interested in league of legends.. There's some LoL event taking place somewhere in Houston that's like a pre qualifier or something if anyone's interested.

a non TO mentioning an event ONCE is not advertising.

and LoL is a computer nerd game. so no, i dont care if there is an event in this city. especially since you didnt include a link.

welp, my fav character in Game Of Thrones just died. im pissed and my night is ruined.


anyways...............














Ever wondered what happens to Leon's cool leather jacket in Resident Evil 4? It inexplicably disappears after the scene in the village. Well, on the PS2 version, go through Ada's side-quest and one of the Ganado villagers will be wearing it.



It's only humanly possible to press a button on a controller 16 times per second. This record was set by Toshuyuki Takahashi, a Japanese gamer.



In Metal Gear Solid, Psycho Mantis would scan your memory card, and if there was Azure Dreams, Suikoden, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Vandal Hearts, Policenauts and Snatcher data saved there he would comment on it. In the remake The Twin Snakes, he would scan for Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Mario Sunshine, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.



The Gamecube menu music is the same as the original Famicon's music, just slowed down about 16x.

In Fallout 2, there's a hidden room in Junktown, in the Cafe Of Broken Dreams, where you can find Dogmeat, the Vault Dweller from the first game's faithful hound.




Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokemon, got the idea for the worldwide Game Boy phenomenon after collecting caterpillars as a child and watching them change into butterflies.




JP->US
Vega->M.Bison
M.Bison->Balrog
Balrog->Vega



Nine Inch Nails did the soundtrack for the original quake game.



GoldenEye's famously brilliant multiplayer mode originally contained three Bond actors as playable characters; Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton. Their data was left on the cartridge, but you couldn't select them without using a cheat device.




If, for some strange reason, you still have a Madden NFL 06 save game on your memory card, a special Madden van will be unlocked when you start up Burnout Revenge on PS2.





In EarthBound, you can avoid picking up the Sound Stone by loading up on cookies by grinding Spiteful Crows at the beginning of the game until your inventory is full. If you do not reclaim it from your sister before the last sanctuary point, it will be there for the rest of your game and you can still use it to play the full melody any time.




If you leave two bees on the far left or far right stage of galaga and let them keep bombing (albeit missing) until they do the motions without dropping a bomb, then kill them, bees won't shoot for the rest of the game.



The Texas Instruments TI-83 calculator has more graphics processing power than the Commodore 64. Amazingly, some basic C64 games can even be programmed into it.



In the first Fallout, if you create your own character with less than 4 intelligence you can't converse with anyone; your only dialogue options are various grunts or other guttural noises. This makes the game insanely difficult to finish.



the E in E.Honda is for Edmond
Ryu and Ken are the only 2 to appear in every Street Fighter title (Ken was 2P in original)
Street Fighter 4 was the first in the series to be on console prior to arcade release
Ken is actually 3/4 Japanese and dyes his hair
Ken and Guile's wives are sisters
DeeJay's pants say MAXIMUM (originally going to be Mantis) due to it being the same on the sprite from both directions
Programmers/Designers did not expect combos to be widely used when SF2 came out



The 1911 Pistol is the only weapon to appear in every single Call of Duty game, however in Modern Warfare 3 it's unusable.




Attacking the fat, black pig on Outset Island in The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker will eventually cause it to attack.It's 100% invincible, though, so watch out.





Scorpion is the only Mortal Kombat kharacter to appear in every Mortal Kombat game




A six-digit number can be found on the Scorpion tanks in Halo, which refers to the birth date of the game’s art director, Marcus R. Lehto. His initials also appear on Master Chief’s boots.






the voice actor for duke nukem is the same as the one who voices big the cat in sonic adventure





Final Fantasy VII was originally designed for the Nintendo 64, but Square cancelled the project and moved to the PSone because of the lack of space in the console's game cartridges. FFVII would've filled 13 cartridges.




If you have less than 500P, the guy will let you in anyway with a reduced amount of Safari Balls. If you have no money at all, he'll refuse to let you in. Try again, and he'll say you can't get in without paying. Do it a third time and he'll acknowledge your persistence and let you in "just this once" for free...with a single Safari Ball.




FIFA 2001 is the first and only game to date to use a "scratch and sniff" CD. The disc smelt of turf.




The Magnavox Odyssey, released in 1972, contained 40 transistors and no microprocessor. The newest Pentium 4 microprocessor contains 42 million transistors on the chip itself.




The X in Xbox is because of usage of the DirectX API




In The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening, the advisor from the SNES version of Sim City, Dr Wright, appears in a house. He's named after Will Wright, the creator of the Sim series.




The Nintendo GameCube's proprietary disc can hold 1.5 gigabytes of data. 190 times more than what an N64 game cartridge can hold.



The Mortal Kombat character Rain first appeared only in the Attract mode of MK3 in the arcades, as a purple palette-swap of the ninja archetype (Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, et al) . He was intended as a joke to get players to search for how to unlock him. Just in case nobody got the joke, (a character named Rain, who wears purple), he was added in the last upgrade of MK3 (MK Trilogy), where he was given the backstory of being an Edenian prince.



Super Mario Bros. 3 - World Map 3: Water Land Theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C382wc4StOw

is the same song as

Zelda Ocarina of Time Music Great Fairy Fountain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrCGpPZ8CCE

That Earthbound one is interesting. Because I'm actually a fan of the series. Whenever I next play through Earthbound, I'm gonna not get the Sound Stone, just for lulz.

Correct. Trace is to put a drawing under a piece of paper and draw on top of the lines you see through the top piece of paper.

This is PRE-school ****, rt.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, no.

Also, you left that chocolate milkshake in Sync's room. When I threw it out, it had little chunks floating at the top.

You are disgusting.

Yeah, but I recognize all the basic stuff from playing the other games and there's a website with translations for pretty much everything so I haven't had any trouble with the game, it's basically the same as playing the english version, but an english version would be nice.

Knowing Xyro, it's not worth even trying to say the JPN version is any good (even though it is basically the exact same).
