LET'S ARGUE ABOUT VIDEO GAMES

That was a good piece of business Phoenix

Earthbound could work as a movie, provided it was in the same vein as horribly traumatizing and childhood-ruining films like Secret of NIMH and The Brave Little Toaster.

I think the appeal to Earthbound is how gamey it is, and how it plays off of that. I mean, Itoi takes advantage of the medium and your expectations (ex: "you-know-who prayed", the final final ending of Mother 3).

It's definitely got charm to spare, but I think some of the silly gameplay moments is what makes it special. I'd still watch it, though.

When Earthbound came out me and my cousin played it but renamed the characters. We didn't think Poo sounded like an Asian enough name so we name him O69'ER. Right after Tommy Boy came out too.

[Guitar Woman]

Hey don't spoil Mother 3, I'm not done with it :<

Even though I know what happens anyway.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I didn't. I'm just saying is does a cool thing at the "END?" screen to wrap it up, which most people miss, and

Wait. You still didn't beat it? How old is that thread? :V

[Guitar Woman]

I got to chapter 5 before I became bored and left it to gather dust.

I have since played Seventh Saga to completion, and in the process have become an RPG grinding blackbelt. I will resume Mother 3 in short order.

I'm buying a 360 with my refund, so be prepared for ass-kickery in various games, bros.

Shit yes.

It's like I'm really on XBox live! :D

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I'm still waiting on my refund from last year. Going to refile 08 with 09. Might get a new television or go on a cruise.

[Dr. Boogie]

N***r!!!


Now it's like Xbox Live.

[Zomboid]

We need someone to be arguing with their mom while playing call of duty. I never understand why they don't just turn off their mics in those situations. Do you want people to know what a little wuss you are?

heh, I told that asshole. Hey mom. Get me my cheesy poofs.

[stevetothepast]

I never put a mic in unless I'm in a party, it's too hard on the head.

[OxBlood]

Please don´t remind me of that...what you also need is a french guy singing. LOUDLY! VERY, VEEERY LOUDLY! Then some british dude with an accent as thick as the makeup on the little screaming kid´s mom.

Add the mic-breather-idiot, the mumbler and the one where you just hear his other TV in the background and you´re set for any kind of FPS-Multiplayer.

[kahljorn]

dude im totally the mumbler

[Zhukov]

I was called a ****** once during a game of Gears of War 2

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I'm a gasper.

As much as it takes up a large space in my heart Suikoden II has such an annoying glitch. If you name your hero in Suikoden I you can import your save data and get him as a character in Suikoden II with his name you chose. Except if you save Gremio and get all 108 stars of Destiny in Suikoden I and import the save data into S II an annoying glitch happens.

In S I the Hero's last name is McDohl regardless of what you choose. I always named my hero Donovan(I played a lot of Darkstalkers around that time). S II's glitch was that it took the first letter of your chosen name and substituted the rest of McDohl.

So in SII his name was DcDohl....DickDole

My friend had named his hero Kenshin so when he played through it got renamed to KcDohl,,,,KickDole....

I can't possibly see how this could be a negative.
