Oh hey Mitch, I already put the question up in the RP, but do you know where to get that file hoster that your using on there?

Heh...I almost forgot this thread was here. Let me try and answer all the ones I missed.

1.) I can't quite say who my favorite game character is. It's a title that's really hard to give out so freely. Right now, though, I'm trying to finish up the extra stuff in DQ8, so the main dude from that game will do for now.

2.) Nope, still can't dance. Do we really have to?

3.) http://filelodge.bolt.com/

Jena Runner · Do you enjoy this?

no not if you dont want to but i would be nice to dance on at least a couple of the songs you know but we dont have to if you dont want to.

Riku · I'm 40 and living with my mom...

Well if it's any consolation, I don't know how to dance either . Okay well I'll go and register for that fileholder a little later and what not.

Just out of curiosity do you know anything about the release dates for the Wii and PS3...hey that kinda rhymes. Wii and 3

ok i have 2 EOC's comming up soon so i have to ask since youve already been through this....are the EOC's as easy as the gateway for algebra 1 was?

Mitch · Moderator

No, the EOCs are not as easy as the Gateway. They Gateway is easy because it's standardized test on basic Algebra. The EOC is Stephen's way of seeing if you've been paying attention this year.

Sadly, I do not know the release of the PS3 since it keeps getting pushed back....like Zelda. Last I heard, though, they were releasing "The Nintendo Revolution" in November. This may have changed along with the name, however.

Jena Runner · Do you enjoy this?

no its not for Mr. Stephens its for Ms.Gay's and Mr. Coker's Classes. but thats just what i needed to hear cause well quite frankly im not very good at english and im ok at science but its not exactly my strong point and Ms. Gay's tests are HARD.

Mitch · Moderator

Well, I don't want to get your hopes up, but the EOCs are usually multiple choice, and for me at least, multiple choice is a LOT easier.

Jena Runner · Do you enjoy this?

Multiple choice is eaiser for me too really.

ok another question what time does prom start and ehat time are we leaving to get there? (srry i need to know so i can get ready in time. and since im on here i thought i would just ask you now instead of in the morning)

Mitch · Moderator

Prom starts at 8:00 PM. EST.

We'll leave whenever. Whenever we get bored, that is.

Jena Runner · Do you enjoy this?

ok. another question here for you that i just thought of.......what time do you want to arrive at the peom?

Riku · I'm 40 and living with my mom...

Well my advice is: STAY AWAY FROM THE PUNCH, or you'll end up drunk as a skunk since someone will probably spike it with something .

Now I didn't go to my Prom, but well there were plenty of people who got drunk from the punch there from what my friends who went said .

If I had only known that I could have gotten drunk, I might have went. Sadly the next time I go to Dallas's house, I'll probably get drunk there since he's all about alcihol .

Anyhoo, Mitch since I'm supposed to ask a question here I will inquire this upon you: In old school Mario, Peach was always just referred to as Princess Toadstool. Why did they just strt calling her Peach all the sudden back around N64 time?

Riku

Mitch · Moderator

Well, at the Beginning of Super Mario 64, the princess writes Mario a letter signed "Yours truly, Princess Toadstool-Peach."

She still has the title of Princess Toadstool, but which would you rather be known as when you're playing Tennis or riding around in a Go-Kart?

Riku · I'm 40 and living with my mom...

Well to be quite honest Mitch, I haven't played tennis since the early-mid part of 2001 when I was in P.E. during 8th grade year, and I haven't ridden a go-cart since I was banned from one of those go-cart places in Gatlinburg in the year 1999 . I kinda pissed off a woman riding in one, and well flipped her off, and rammed her like five times so I kinda had it coming to me .

However, if I did do those things I would want to be called Kaney since it's my name after all .

Oh, and sorry for missing the play. I don't really have a good excuse, but well I kinda got into Kingdom Hearts, and well I kinda vegetated and didn't watch my atomic clock, and when I finally looked down at it, it read 21:30 so yeah...don't kill me...please .

Um, oh yeah what do you think is the greatest improvement made to the game architecture (controls, weapons, etc...) between Halo and Halo 2?

Riku

Mitch · Moderator

Don't worry about the play. The only thing I really wish you could have seen were the YTMND references I threw in as inside jokes to my friends. You can still see it. It'll be on video before too long. We taped it.

Anyways, I'd say the biggest change from Halo to Halo 2 was the fluidity of the controls and visuals that give multiplayer mode a much better feel to it.

Ok, let's be honest with ourselves here. The real reason people play Halo is for the multiplayer mode. Not for the shooting and definetely not for the story. It's a good multiplayer game, because, face it, who hasn't played Halo? It's a universal "pwning" machine.

Seriously, though, if they want Halo 3 to sell as well as Halo 2 did, they need to come up with some sort of gimmick for their next multiplayer system, though. They know by now not to mess with a good thing, but each step forward requires some new aspect to be pioneered.

Riku · I'm 40 and living with my mom...

Well the only problem is that we get the Blount County School's tv thingy, but we don't get Alcoa's from here so are you getting a video tape of it?

Well I do like the Halo story from the games and the novels, but true I do have to agree that 90% of the gaming experience of Halo and Halo 2 is the multiplayer, wheter it's online, system linking, or split screen.

Okay this is a question that kinda bugs me. Is it strange for a guy to enjoy chick flicks and get teary eyed in them (i.e. romantic comedies, romance movies, etc...)?

Riku

Mitch · Moderator

Er....maybe you should be a bit more specific. What movie comes to mind?

Riku · I'm 40 and living with my mom...

Well I never said that it was me that I was talking about...right.

Um, you know...chick flicks, I can't just name them because I'm struggling to remember the titles. Seriously, I have short term memory problems so I can't remember everything, but I got teary eyed and almost cheered at the movie Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, when the whatever you called them bug thingys resurrected her at the end of the film, and we're talking a Disney Animated Movie...

Riku

Mitch · Moderator

I have never heard of that movie, man.

But anyways, no, I don't think it's weird to cry during a movie or game. I've done that twice myself, actually. Once at the end of Final Fantasy X, and the other at the beginning of Final Fantasy X-2.

Riku · I'm 40 and living with my mom...

But you don't have to get out the kleenex at almost every movie or hold back the tears to make yourself look manly when with friends and family do you?

Riku

Mitch · Moderator

No, sir, I do not.

Who are you asking for, if not for yourself?

Riku · I'm 40 and living with my mom...

...heh heh heh...no one in particular, just someone I know...Okay it's me dang it!

Dude I got the water works when I watched the Star Trek: The Next Generation Finale "All Good Things" at the end.

I can't help it, but it just happens. Just do me a favor and let's not watch any of the said criteria of movies if we ever get together as in just me and you, or in a nice little group

Jena Runner · Do you enjoy this?

ok heres a question for you.......why do you guys hate Raiden so much noone's ever answered me that question so why?

Riku · I'm 40 and living with my mom...

You know Jena I'm still wondering about that one myself, but I think that it's because he talks to his girlfriend too much during combat and that you have to play as him sans clothing.

Anyhoo, Mitch is it a bad thing to take two to four tylenol pills a day for headaches?

Riku

Mitch · Moderator

To the Tylernol thing: There's no immediate problem if you take them once a day, but eventually, you will become addicted to them and your headaches will become more frequent. If your headaches are that bad, see a doctor. (Refer to the Guy's Rules section for more info.)

As for Raiden, a more appropriate question would be "Why don't you guys hate Raiden so much?"

Let me put it to you this way.....Imaging your favorite game, or TV show. Jena, you should imagine Twilight Princess. The main character has been Link for so long, right? All the games,to be exact. Now, imagine getting the game home and only playing as Link for about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how thorough you are. For the rest of the game, Link would be replaced by a whiny albino who wears a wig (he actually does) and has his own identity crisis to deal with while dealing with his girlfriend who was also thrown in at the last second to add a touch of pseudo-romance to the plot, as she gripes about how your newly found character can't remember that that particular day is their anniversary. All the while, your new character will walk under piss, strip naked, and run around like a ninny while Link sits in the back doing pretty much nothing but give you advice and do little to advance the plot.

Raiden was kept from the public until the game's release. All the screenshots where Raiden fights a boss? They doctored them showing Snake fighting them just to keep us from the truth. The move was smart, seeing as how no one would have bought the game if they knew about Raiden. At the time, Kojima thought that MGS2 would be his last game. So why not piss off his fans? I mean, we just made Mr. Hitson drink a bunch of pencil lead for our senior prank, so why not leave with a bang? Or having your teacher get his stomach pumped?

Riku · I'm 40 and living with my mom...

Well for the last couple of years Mitch I've been getting headaches like almost daily (coincidentally it started happening about the same time as my depression) and I not having a super high pain threshold take the stuff to ease the headaches. However since I quit smoking they haven't been as bad, but I give that to lower blood pressure because smoking increases it because nicotine is a stimulant. I'm trying not to go to a doctor because if it's just migranes I can live with it, but what if it's like a tumor or something...

Anyhoo, so if everyone hates Raiden so much why didn't they kill him off in the third game?

Riku

Mitch · Moderator

The reason they didn't kill him off in MGS3: Snake Eater is because it takes place in 1964, whereas MGS2 took place in the near future. MGS3's story revolves around Snake's father, Big Boss.

*SPOILERS*

But actually, Snake is a clone of Big Boss, and that's why he's aged so much in MGS4 while the others are still relatively young.

Jena Runner · Do you enjoy this?

ok, now i see why. i would hate him too.

Riku · I'm 40 and living with my mom...

Okay well I see your point. You all can tell that I haven't played these games .

I need to sit down and play Xenosaga sometime .

Do you like ramen, and why or why not?
