Video Game Chat / Re: Your Personal Secrets Pertaining To Video Games

« on: October 22, 2006, 11:48:54 PM »

Welllll...
One time when I was in a particularly foul mood, I made the mistake of playing Mario Kart DS on WiFi.  I ended up getting pretty frustrated and, well... sorta bit my DS.  I managed to keep myself from biting too hard, but it still left a slight mark.

A case of compounding mood (happiness begets happiness, frustration begets frustration), I'm afraid.

When I had played, I had called my band "Kwadruped".

Well, I got to the store at about 6:15 am, and ended up 27th in line out of a total 32 units.  I heard somewhere that they were only allowed to keep two for employees, but I don't know if that number has grounds in reality.

My friend went to a Gamestop in a mall at about 8 am, and ended up 15th of a total 50 availible.  So I don't think every store could've gotten the same number.

From what I understand, he says "arrivederci" in Mario Sunshine, which means "goodbye".

Anyway, when you select a star in SM64, it STILL sounds to me like he's saying "Hmph, pickle!" or something.

My friend discovered that Jon's expressions and appearance can be "dramatically improved" by turning him into an angry Frenchman (with just two modifications!)  The resulting expressions range from simple indignance to smarmyness, abject harted, and overall disgust.

Here're a couple examples of what I mean:





My friend also found ways to turn the Family Circus children into Ninja Turtles, but that's another story.

Ha ha ha, Deezer.

I'm right-handed.  Myup.

I know sometimes people desire to be abmidextrous, but I've heard that naturally and completely lacking a dominant hand is a sign that there's a connection abscent in the brain.  And without the hands having more specific roles, it often becomes more difficult for them to work together.
(This is coming from hearing about my friend's friend, who, while equally able in either hand, was helpless at handling a video game controller.)

Mind you, I'd actually ONLY heard the above from my friend, so it may not be accurate.

A friend came over and changed my desktop to this:

I'm not quite sure where he got the picture.

Not at the Dinner Table / Re: For or Against?

« on: August 10, 2006, 10:40:46 PM »

...Well, then, back to the subject at hand:
I will say "for".  I see it as a matter of love, true and pure, that can exist between two people, regardless of such differences - or similarities - between them.

'Course, I realize that this is a rather idealistic standpoint, but 'tis my view on the matter.

Mario Chat / Re: Looks like I won't be buying Yoshi's Island 2...

« on: August 10, 2006, 10:21:24 PM »

The things that bothered me most about Yoshi's Story were that you basically have to memorize the levels if you want to get the 30 melons in them (an uneven problem, though; some levels suffer this to an extreme), and that, all too often, making one mistake in the "30 melons" procedure meant resetting the game and starting the stage over.  Not fun.

General Chat / What phase of the Moon were you born under?

« on: July 16, 2006, 11:12:05 PM »

Here's a poll question that likely has not yet been asked...
If you don't know the phase of the Moon on your birthday (and I'd be surprised if anyone here already did (aside from those who looked it up in the chatroom)), you can find a site HERE that can provide you with an answer. Just input a month and year on the right, and look up the Moon's phase on the calendar.

And if you end up being between to of the phase definitions, use your best judgement to pick which one you're closer to.

I was born under a Third Quarter Moon, by the way.

Fan Creations / Re: Draw Something Cool

« on: July 16, 2006, 07:54:06 PM »

Another one of Nothing, I guess.
The main character's supposed to be running from the creature what currently occupies my avatar, but neither one of 'em really turned out that great.
...And then I ended up making the background a little too prevalent.
...And I was kinda lazy with the coloring throughout.

I'm with Lizard Dude on this one.
And here's hoping I'll never have to face you in a game like Mario Party.

By "LifeShark", do you mean "Live Shark"?

I tried putting that code into a Live Shark, but it bit off one of my arms.
Also, do you have any "Infinite Arms" codes?

This one is and ever has been my emblem.
Don't worry if you don't know what it's supposed to be.
