Game Help / My video won't appear on Youtube...?

« on: August 27, 2008, 10:59:02 PM »

Sigh. After waiting for 4 hours, and getting a succesful message, I waited another 30 miniutes only for the video to never appear. Anyone have any ideas?

Site Discussion / I'm swimming in hot water here, but...

« on: August 04, 2008, 01:58:41 PM »

According to an ancient rhyme given by TMK, there seems to be evidence that the Secret Page is somewhere in there.

How many miniutes before this topic is closed, I wonder?


(Is the Secret Page even real?)

Video Game Chat / I would like to play an easy style RPG...

« on: July 18, 2008, 02:46:28 PM »

I'm looking for a laid back kind of RPG- like the Mario RPGS and games like Earthbound and Chrono Trigger. (Chrono Trigger has probably been the best yet...)

None of that hard, story lacking(Puts up flame shield)trash like Final Fantasy. (When I say story lacking, I mean there is a LOT of fighting, mostly for no reason,{like Dragon Warrior}).

Thank you for the help, and not bashing me.

Mario Chat / The Hardest Mario Game

Video Game Chat / How is Sonic "Cool"?

« on: July 11, 2008, 02:02:44 PM »

Fun Fact 1#:I Have ALWAYS been a Mario Fan. Fun Fact 2#:I have NEVER been a Sonic Fan.

People would always tell me that SONIC IS SO COOL, MAN! While all I saw was a childish classic cartoon animal running around. I would later watch a Youtube Video entailing the end of the first Sonic game, to see him save little rabbits and squirrels. But I'll get to that later.

Fun Fact 3#: I have never bought a Sonic game in my entire life.

Sadly, I wouldn't dare to. I can just imagine one of my buddies coming over to see I've bought "Sonic the Hedgehog". They would laugh, some of them never even having heard of Sonic. "Hedgehogs? Hedgehogs? Wa ha ha ha!" Then I play it, and watch as a silly looking rodent runs around.

You may think I'm being unfair. Mario is also a kiddy fantasy land. But...let me list a few things-

1. At least Mario is DECENT ENOUGH to wear clothes. Some characters in the Mario Universe do not, but not EVERY SINGLE ONE refuses to wear clothes.

2. Mario is not trying to be cooler then Sonic. Sonic comes out, advertising how "Cool!" he is. If anything, Mario is cooler then Sonic.

3. Sickening cross-species romance that does not let go, at least the Mario games do not continually announce Bowser's issues the entire game.

Now when I ask Sonic Fanboys why Sonic is "So Cool" this is the top 3 Responses:
1. Shut your mouth, Mario sux!
2. djkafjakfj(Simple letters that apparantly say something I can't understand)
3. Sonic has a attitude.

Finally! A reasonable answer! Wait...he does? Oh wow. wow. This definetely makes Sonic way cooler then Mario. He has the attitude to not wear clothes. That's not cool. That's sick.

My final words: If Sonic and Sega are so much better then Nintendo, why did Sega fail? Why do the Sonic games sell terribly?

That is all for now. Let's see your responses...

Video Game Chat / Cheap Nintendo Hate

« on: June 22, 2008, 07:25:58 PM »

Have you seen any cheap Nintendo hate in the real world? Not just by random fanboys? If so, tell about it, like for instance:

While going to my local Blockbuster, I checked to see how much videogames were rented, and saw something cheap(Both ways):

PS3 & Xbox 360: $8
PS2 & Xbox & Wii: $7
PS1 & Gamecube: $5

...Now the Gamecube is arguable, but sticking the Wii with the last gen systems? Bull. What have you seen?
