"So far, mass deaths have not occurred as people have become more used to starvation than in the 1990s, but famine is a matter of time," the official was quoted as saying by the aid group. So if you practice not starving to death by gradually eating less food do you eventually get really good at it? Yeah man, this starvation thing? I've totally mastered it, staying alive without food is child's play now. CB007's Review & GPT Archive CB007's Gaming BBS

I imagine what he meant to say (maybe?) was that they were more prepared for a famine, not that they were used to it. It reminds me of a funny thing in a local newspaper. A Chinese man was confused when it said one company would be "joining" another in production. Did that mean the companies were merging? No, even though if you read the English words literally, it sure seems like that's what it's saying. What the reporter was trying to mean was that one company was producing something, and another company would soon be producing, too, but not together. See how your opinion ruined Christmas for everyone!

I saw the title on the front page and immediately thought, "Metal Blade." I was stunned to actually see it there, though. Seems that some GameFAQers still do play with their 8-bit toys??

(Maybe even the spread gun in Contra) If you combine the cape in Mario World with Yoshi (especially a blue one), then, yeah, it's very overpowered.

Or would someone care to explain the differences between a 9.9 game and a 10.0 game. IGN's given the score out before, so it isn't that they don't believe in 10's.

Posts: 11013 (06/03/08 12:42 PM) The Fuzzy Physicist Administrator Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	LA Times review of Sex and the City The elephant in the room is the question of whether men will see it. For reasons that seem symptomatic of a much larger and deeper problem, "Sex and the City" seems to have become the movie, pre-release, that no man wants to see or at least admit to wanting to see. Considering the treatment Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has gotten in the press throughout her presidential campaign, this comes as no surprise. As far as big Hollywood movies go, the idea that we might watch movies to empathize with characters whose lives are different from ours but whose humanity links them to us is all but lost. Wow. If you're a man or uninterested in seeing Sex and the City, you may be a psychopath who can't empathize with other humans. (You're probably a misogynist, too) See how your opinion ruined Christmas for everyone!

"Yes, this game is made for little whippersnappers. And yes, it's a cinch to complete. But at least playing through this plastic-filled adventure is better than all of the other schlocky licensed kiddie games out there." Translation... It's somewhat better than some of the worst games ever made, so I think I'll give it a B. CB007's Review & GPT Archive CB007's Gaming BBS

Top 10 Lists : The Top 10 Story Lines In Video Games Post-Y2K #2: Killer7 (GC) I'm sure a bunch of people will be offended by this, but I feel that Killer7 has the best story ever written since 2000. So why is it in the number two spot? It is because it is so confusing that the majority of the gaming audience will not be able to fully comprehend how absolutely awesome and unique the game actually is. It is uncanny how a game can wrap up so many questions that I had while playing it in such a way that I would never have guessed possible, yet create so many mind bending side stories from those very explanations. Finally, Killer7 has one of the coolest gunfights ever. It is very, very hit or miss with the gaming world, but I do not regret one bit spending $10 for the best story ever written since Xenogears (a lot of people wont agree, sadly).... AND ON TO NUMBER ONE! #1: Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) What? This game didn't have a story?! Well maybe you didn't beat it. The ending is just amazing and amplifies the hero's struggle throughout the game. It shows the struggle of human life, how someone would go through so much for so little in return, and the decency and corruptibility of man. Shadow of the Colossus has the most beautiful storyline written in these past seven years if you really sit down and think about it. Go play it and complete the game, and I hope you realize what I am talking about. Think about it for a while; it'll grow on you. Sorry Halo and FFX fans, I know you were hoping for a mention in here, and that you are probably angry for me including Killer 7 in the entry and giving SoTC the top spot. These are my favorite storylines since Y2K came around, and I hope this list has given you a few recommendations for new games to explore. Enjoy, and have a happy gaming experience! Every single sentence! I just love how he waxes ecstatic about the ending that "amplifies the hero's struggle" and reveals the "decency and corruptibility of man." I learned a lot more about those topics from watching Winnie-the-Pooh when I was little.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Shadow of the Colossus may have had an amazing ending to anyone who's never seen a cartoon before. Anyone with a full set of chromosomes guessed what was going to happen on their way to the first boss. And I actually have thought about that game's plot, and have deduced the only way it could work would be if the wanderer was a Dracula incarnate. how someone would go through so much for so little in return The wanderer or the player?

And what the hell is up with people all of a sudden thinking Killer7 and Shadow of the Colossus are good in any way? I slugged halfway through the first one and played the demo of the second one and they were both as shitty as the early opinions I heard on them said they were.

Posts: 424 (07/06/08 4:03 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Top 10 Lists : The Top 10 Games That Are Likely To Make You Insane. #10: Super Mario Bros. (NES) ...what makes me mad about this game...is the fact that once you actually do find [the princess], there's no real ending. In fact, it's something along the lines of "Thank you for completing the game. As a reward, you can do exactly what you just did over again, only this time, it'll be HARDER!" Yes, that's exactly the kind of blow that my sanity needed. Still a great game, but I'm never going to get over that. #9: Earthbound (SNES) I'm still convinced that when the concept of Earthbound was thought up, the creator was smoking pot. #7: Chrono Trigger (SNES) The thing that makes Chrono Trigger drive me to insanity is mainly the plot. It's a good plot, don't get me wrong, but what makes me irritated is that fact that Chrono had JUST met Marle, and he magically wants to save her when she disappears (which, ironically, was almost immediately after they meet). The second thing that bothers me is the fact that you can fight the last boss, like, halfway through the game. It's never advised, even in-game, but I always get tempted and end up getting my ass kicked. I don't know if it's the option or my own stupidity that drove me to insanity, but I was nonetheless.
