So you didn't laugh when Exedol burst into song because he didn't know Minmay's name? Or when Millia told Misa that if she wanted to hold a baby she should make her own, then threw Komillia across the room? Or Focker letting go of the steering wheel, standing up, and turning around in a jeep full of people to call Hikaru a dumbass? Or at the end of Space War 1, when Global yelled "Macross attack"? (I can't be the only person that thought that was funny) The original series was never really intended to be taken too seriously. The show that changed the tone of the universe was Plus, not 7.

It's not a perfect recreation. The GBA sound hardware isn't near the level of the Master System, much less the Genesis. And the screen aspect ratio is wrong. But it IS a good attempt. Metroid Zero Mission IS what Fusion should have been. Samus isn't a hunchback, the game doesn't FORCE you onto a pre-programmed path(I hate it when games create a huge expansive world that begs to be explored and then force you to not explore it), and it is completely 100% lacking in bosses that can't be hurt with missiles. It has it's flaws, but they're relatively minor. Regarding other questions: you CAN buy extra batteries for a GBASP, but it's not worth it. Headphones... get an adapter so you can use real headphones. Don't waste the cash on GBASP headphones. The MP3 player has been out fo ra while... and is a complete rip-off. You can buy a standalone MP3 player for the price they're asking, and one with more memory too. As far as accessorizing goes, I'd get a snap-on grip(I HATE the SP's width and depth, and you can get one woth extra batteries in it if that's your thing), a headphone adapter, and maybe a cigarrette lighter charger. After that it's just looks. You can buy "skin" stickers, and I'm quite partial to this one. Personally, though, I hate the SP. I can see my standard GBA just fine, and it's a more comfortable device. And the frontlight(which I find unnecessary) washes a lot of detail out of the screen. But that's just me. .. Have you considered investing in older GB games? The GBA is backwards-compatible with original GameBoy and GameBoy Color games. Metroid 2 and Qix stand out as games worth owning. Qix is a rather odd game(and hasn't ever done very well commercially as far as I know) but it's incredibly fun once you get into it. Metroid 2 is just more Metroid, which is rarely a bad thing.

Heh.

I didn't think they ever specified HOW he was suprressing his anger. It could have been raw willpower. I don't recall anything to indicate it was drugs. But I'll rewatch the relevant scenes later.

I like Macross 7. I can see why some people wouldn't, though. But it's just diffrent. It doesn't just suck, and anyone who says it does is just closed-minded.

You HAVE watched the original series, haven't you? "DAEDALUS ATTACK!" "Ummm, captain? We don't HAVE a Daedalus." "Well 'punch the other ship silly' doesn't sound right, so shut up!"

Mfft. Dunno what happened here.

That's ... a very nice feature. Saves everyone the effort of changing the hardware acceleration settings.

He was shown taking pills in one sequence. People are ASSUMING these pills were to suppress anger inherited from his zentradi father. It may very well be he just had a bad headache, which if I recall was supposed to be a side effect of the BDI system.

The battle has started. Teh doorknob cannon has been deployed.

No, they're druggies, remember? How is it, in a desolete wasteland, they're soo well groomed, when I can hardly keep food stains off of my clothes here?!? I don't like the animation, at least the fluidness off it - the fight scenes seem choppy. Look at the Kingdom Hearts - Deep Dive video for what it should look like. btw, for lovers and haters of FF7 alike, check out http://www.rpgworldcomic.com/. It does a great job of making fun of it. Also check http://www.adventurers-comic.com/ Which had a crossover sequence with RPG World at one point. And they spoof RPGs in general. FF7 just offers a lot of fodder.

I keep forgetting if it has a PS2 version. A bit of lookinh around ... http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/data/919042.html It has a PS2 version. Which is allegedly already out in Japan, though I don't believe that's at all accurate. Anyways, there's fairly credible rumors that Sony won't be licensing any more 2D games. If it comes out, it's likely going to be the last untill Sony's target audience realizes there's more to games than how shiny the graphics look.

I think that's GameCube. If I missed something and it IS multi-platform, make sure your PS2 is modded. Rumor is that Sony will no longer license 2D games for US release AT ALL, so it'll likely be a japan-only release.

Because not even armageddon can stop Professor X.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! My browser's playing aniGIFs back at entirely hte wrong speed right now, and that looks like she's having some sort of seizure.

Tried it but never had much luck Thanks for the links guys Hybridchild The trick is that when viewing a video on your computer, you probably need to turn down the hardware acceleration on your video card. In a Windows environment, right-click the desktop, select properties, click the settings tab, the advanced button, the troubleshooting tab, and move hte slider down towards "none". I think it's 2 notches from 0 where overlays are disabled and you can start taking screenshots of movies. Just remember to turn it back up when you're through.

IT's not only possible, it's extremely likely. Once the container responsible for keeping it compressed and heated is removed, it fizzles down to low-level plasma, AKA fire, and from there back down to just plain old gas rapidly.

Well, I like it.

I HOPE he was a canine, since I named him "Mutt"...

Yes. FF7 made no sense, and the ending answered nothing(though it DID imply that dogs reproduce asexually). THAT is the train of logic.

How about smart enough not to bother sifting through almost thirty pages. Once again, pinned mega-threads are a lame idea. 14 pages. Yes, I jack up the posts-per-page to the max on EVERY forum where it's an option.

Why rely on someone else when you can make your own? You have a computer. PrintScreen, a little cropping and resizing, and BAM.

And yet I loved Parasite Eve. Ditto for Xenogears. FF7's story was a trainwreck of plot holes and duct tape. FF8? They couldn't have made a drier, more cliche story/set of characters if they'd TRIED. And neither one has much gameplay to fall back on. And I find that to be one of the best released in the past several years. Even better than some of the SNES ones. To be fair, Square's SNES ports suck ass. I really think most RPGs need a good boost in difficulty. If the game doesn't offer me a challenge, I see no reason to play it. And FF4's battles aren't unwinnable, they just require you to pay a little attention instead of hammering on the fight command as fast as possible.

i like ff8 too. i don´t know why some people hate it. FF VIII ownz. no two ways about it. its the Best. Damn. FF. EVER. nothing before or after has compared. its a great damn game. It's one of the few games I have derived no enjoyment whatsoever from. In fact, the only game I've played that's worse than FF8 is Legend of Dragoon. Lamest weapon ever. I never saw that, so ...

For the same reaosn people click on threads that say "Harmony Gold" or "Robotech". We like to bitch as much as the next guy.
