I like it more

Nominate:

Resident Evil 4 is more of a horror survival game than it is a third-person shooter.
The StarCraft series did not deserve to get to the finals in G4's contest.
The Metroid series is going to go dormant for a good while again.

jesus christ

Disagree, it's the best multiplayer one and certainly nowhere near the worst.

In the portion of my circle of friends that plays video games, I've noticed two kinds of fighting game people. The people who play the entire cast, use random a lot whenever it's available, etc. And then there's the people who main a character or two, usually high tier people. A lot of Marth and Sheik in SSBM, lots of Yun and Ken in Third Strike.

So which one are you? Describe your fighting game tendencies, please.

vlado I know in bulgaria none of you have nice things but here in America it's not unheard of to have computers that play blu rays

that is a side effect of freedom, god bless the USA

fun game!

I usually complain whenever Youtube changes but I dunno, this seems pretty trivial to me. if we complain about this, they won't take it as seriously when we complain about them continuously making Youtube worse!

dubstep is out now, post-dupstep is what's in

Since some of you need it spelled out:

<HUMOR>

Chris Hansen, a TV personality infamous for busting men doing questionable sexual acts via hidden cameras, was himself busted doing questionable sexual acts via hidden cameras. Irony!

</HUMOR>

okay thanks that wasn't the problem though

Final Fantasy X

yeah I don't get what's interesting with this. high status males tend to cheat with young hot women. nothing new there! situations where an anti-gay rights activist gets caught with a young boy or whatever are kind of funny but this isn't really like that.

latency is what makes my games visual and input lag, it's a sad affair

bandwidth is why it takes my youtube and porn forever to load

I'm all over it

that all sounds reasonable to me I suppose

Wait, this doesn't sound like this has anything to do with latency at all.

Where in Alaska do you live? I was considering moving there at some point. It really depends on what kind of work I can find up there.

I live in Anchorage, which is the major population center of the state. Our economy is doing better than the lower 48's by a good deal, and I often see a lot of people hiring. State hires a lot, the oil companies pay well for working up on the north slope, plenty of normal stuff like retail/restaraunts/whatever in the more populated areas. The pay is generally good compared to the lower 48 but the cost of living is more also, so that probably balances out. A one bedroom apartment costs like $1000 and I think most places hire at $10/hour for non-skilled labor and it goes up from there.

so I only checked the first 10 or so but I'm noticing that Ulti is part of all of them

why would he do this to us

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and China's conversion to capitalism in everything but name, communism had to take on a new meaning or else become irrelevant. And we can't just retire a word that had represented the national enemy for 50 years that easily!

It stopped having a useful meaning when the Soviet Union pretended they were communist and not a totalitarian regime. It was used incorrectly then and it's laughable how they use it in the US now.

they can't come to Alaska

second best, after PSX. FFX is better than any single game on the SNES though.

worth it

he'd just practice his skills in prison anyway or w/e

Ryu - Elena - Sakura, now there's a love triangle

Third Strike Online Edition coming out soon, who needs other fighting games at all!

hey icon we're right next to each other on the spreadsheet

spreadsheet buddies

Animal Collective - 9
Notorious B.I.G. - 9

this is what I like to see

Mitsuda - 5
Nirvana - 5

Are there other animals besides us who seem to display "ownership" or whatever? Like my cat has a favorite sleeping spot and my ferret has a favorite rubber ball but I'm not sure they view those the way we view a cell phone.

I should probably play more of this!

yes

I really like the parts on Mt Gagazet where you find the graves of past summoners. Pretty cool. Wait, are those scenes, or just scenery? Cool either way.

yeah he's better than all of those for sure! maybe just a bit better than zidane. it's pretty close.

My "holy **** nostalgia" FFX thing is when Tidus stands on the boat and they have that FMV as you pull into Luca for the first time. Definitely a warm feeling.

I didn't like Auron or Rikku at all. Wakka is where it's at, and Yuna and Lulu are okay. Tidus is a pretty good main character though, up there with Zidane as the good ones. None of the main characters vocal delivery really bothered me either. I mean it's not super amazing but for video games it's fine.

I think the first 10 minutes of X-2 might be the most embarrassing video game thing you could get caught playing

Mt Gagazet I love it

oh man this topic got me on a FFX soundtrack listening run

np "Silence Before The Storm" good stuff

1.Lindblum
2.Besaid
3.Luca

Lindblum is awesome, it's true.

I wouldn't mind if they used the Middle English accent if they didn't completely butcher it. A lot of the stuff he says doesn't make any sense grammatically.

that's how I felt about the FFT retranslation! the old one may be awkward and unintentionally hilarious but at least it made sense!

anyway I like normal talking Frog as well but I do appreciate Woolsey and his part in my childhood memories.

2300 AD is the worst part of the game according to most people. you should be rolling from here on out. I usually play through the first few hours slowly and then can't put it down for the next ten.

yeah definitely

what are you talking about, no one has spoiled anything.

I think Lucca's the standard choice and a little better for the situation but yeah it doesn't really matter

I don't think talking to the girl before hand has any effect. So long as you help her find her cat, it counts. But thinking about it. I always talked to her. But yea I think it's pretty free and easy.

if you talk to her first, something bad happens. if you don't talk to her, something good happens! I only know this because I spent a lot of time trying to get a perfect in that thing that happens later. weird programming glitch I think but a couple FAQs here have confirmed it. not sure if it's fixed in the DS version though.

Igloo Bob

did you talk to the girl before taking the cat back or just take it back without talking to her?
