Friggin' Easter. I don't know why, but these past several days my mom has decided to launch a new volley of nagging phone calls about how I need to go to church. I mean, I suppose the honorable thing to do would be to tell the truth, but I have absolutely no interest in dealing with the aftermath of that. Well, at least there's Peeps and Cadberry eggs and the like.
So...
AHAHAHAH, that video is no longer available. The internet strikes back.
My Easter celebration? Watchign the 24-hour Monk marathon while eating candy and grinding in Disgaea.

Wow. Of ALL the people I could have gotten with that, I got you. Sorry, Biggiy, but I couldn't resist trying that. XD
I'm lying in bed sick today. Cruel, cruel irony.
Happy Easter/Passover/whatever atheists celebrate!
I don't know why, but these past several days my mom has decided to launch a new volley of nagging phone calls about how I need to go to church.
Hey, just look at things from her point of view: She believes that you're going down the road to hell, and wants to save you from eternal suffering. She's just trying to be nice.
I needed to go to Target today, but they're closed for Jesus or whatever. Easter fucking sucks. I can't wait until it's over. =[
Sorry to hear that, Russ. I got sick on Easter once as a kid - ugh, one of the worst days to be sick on, next to Halloween (and I've managed to be sick on Halloween, as well). And it's not even that I just gorged myself on candy those two times and made myself sick that way - no, I got sick before I even got to eat any candy, which just sucks.
And actually, Russ, my mom doesn't really believe in hell, at least in the traditional sense, and she certainly doesn't believe one will go to hell simply for not showing up for church every Sunday. It's more of a community involvement thing with her.
EDIT: Well of course eveything's closed for Easter - don't you know of the great Easter tradition of people barricading themselves up to protect themselves from the return of Zombie Christ?

That quote is going in my sig now. 😊
Walgreens was not closed. I had to work today. =\

That sucks. That you work at Walgreens, that is.
Quickly! Someone choose if I should play Pok�mon Fire Red or Leaf Green. I can't decide. O:
I'd choose Leaf Green... 'cause I like green over red. 😊
Psssh... Do it oldschool, go Red or Blue.
Ah, I'm nearly through Metroid Prime 3. You know, I'm beginning to suspect that high command is getting a little pissed with me. Here I am, important mission, save the galaxy and all that, and I'm running around every single planet I've been to looking for all the extra missile expansions and whatnot that I had missed earlier.
Leaf Green it is, then.
Neither, go with Yellow. 😃
I'd say choose Leaf Green. It's got better Pokemon.

You are? I think I got less than 50% of items when I beat the game (or maybe it was around 56%, I can't remember). Just so you know, if you've got at least 50 missiles, you're good. You're charge beam will suffice in more places. You'll see why as soon as you land on Phaaze... Which is definitely the most fun planet.
Personally I think Fire Red has better pokemon overall, but Leaf Green has Slowpoke, and I luuurve Slowbro.
Fire Red has Arcanine and Scyther, which are good. And Electabuzz, who isn't particularly good but I love him anyway.
Leaf Green mainly just has Slowbro, but he's awesome. ♥
I personally bought LeafGreen, but I was visiting GameCrazy the night before I left town and wanted something used and cheap, so I grabbed it.
It was a fun romp through old territory though.

Partly it'ss to get the extended ending (but you only need 75% for that, and I already have that covered), but mostly it's just because I have an obsessive need to collect power-ups. I want to be able to say to my enemies "Look, I can unload 200 missiles into you without even blinking." I also want to make sure that I didn't miss any energy tanks or anything.
Also, can anyone tell me what purpose ship missile upgrades serve?

Just get yellow. It has all of those. 😉

Ya, I didn't get the extended ending, so I'll need you to tell me what it is. 😊 By the way, if you get 100% of the items, you get a secret twice extended ending. So typical of Metroid games. 😊
As for ship missile upgrades, I think they serve no purpose except as a random item you have to collect to get 100%.
I like the Advance generation better. I'm more familiar with the attacks, natures, and all that stuff. Plus I love the graphics in those games. Ruby and Sapphire weren't as pretty, but FR/LG and Emerald look great.
I'm almost at Phazze as well. But that was two months ago.
Gonna wrap up no more heroes first (Just got to rank 3 yesterday! 😃), and then I'll finish Metroid before moving onto...not quite sure what next.
On one hand the force unleshed (PS2) wants my attention. But I also just picked up Ratchet and clank (Played only 15 minutes in a store 3 years ago, but FREAKING LOVED IT), and I also just got Tales of symphonia's sequel. Plus, I'm playing Persona 1 on my PC, and working on that RPG project...
Oh wait...I forgot, I also have to play Xenosaga, Unlimited Saga, borrow a friend's PS2 because mine won't run Chrono Cross, and wrap up Custom robo's Grand Battle segment... Wow, I'm loaded with games, aren't I?
But (and I'm vey sad to say it), there is one game I have tha tI doubt I'm gonna finish in a lon gitme, if ever. Sonic. Freakin. Unleashed. I LOOOVE the speed levels (with the exception of chunan), but modsbannit, the ice Werehog levels are just too freaking annoying. The ice floe had that stupid PoS platforming with enemies on rickety little platforms right at the end, and now that ice temple has this TINY little walkway I need to walk on, and I'm at such a bad angle that it's next to impossible to stay on. Oh, and to make it worse, I have enemies chucking snowball while I'm at it.
... And to cap it all off if It wasn't so late right now, I'd either be doing the last dungeon of Crystal Chronicles Echoes of time (on normal), or playing Demenitum (the EU version, obviously, since they fixed the save system).
....Yeah, I have no life. Unless you count that green mushroom I Keep on my night table
Hooray, MP3 completed. Sadly, though, I was apparently two items short of 100%. Oh well. As far as the extended ending - I can't be sure, having not seen the unextended ending, but it looks to be that it's Samus going back to Elysia and watching the storm clouds while thinking of her former friends that she had to kill.
Ouch. That's got to be hard on her. Having to kill her own friends. Mine just ended with her flying bast Admiral Dane and giving him the thumbs up.

I swear, everybody I know likes them better just because of the graphics. Sheesh, graphics don't make a game, you know.
Aegix: Is Sonic Unleashed really that good? I love the old Sonic games (Sonic 3 and Knuckles is the best sidescrolling game, except maybe Mario World), but I have to say, I've hated most of the new ones. Is it worth getting considering that I don't like the majority of the new ones? And do you need any Wii suggestions? I have a few.
Well, Sonic Unleashed definitely isn't like the old ones, the day stages are super fast and platform-lite, while the night stages are really slow and platform heavy. However, if you don't like the newer 3-D games, rest assured, SU plays a lot better than them. The daytime stages are crazy fun and addictive, I keep playing them over and over just for the fun of it. And the nighttime stages range from mediocre to actually somewhat fun, although nowhere near the day stages. Oh, and the daytime controls are perfect. Seriously. The ability to drift, a-la Mario Kart, makes turning so much smoother and less flow-breaking. This is the best control I've ever seen Sonic have.
So yeah, I'd recommend it.
Actually, here's a YouTube link to one of the daytime stages. Its as fun as it looks, so if that looks fun, you'd enjoy it.

(Oh, also, agreed on S3&K. My first platformer, still holds a really special place in my heart)
Okay, I guess I'll get it. You know, I'm starting to think they've run out of ideas. The storylines are starting to get really cliche.
And ya, S3&K is awesome. I've beaten it 100% with Sonic and Tails, and just beat it with Knuckles today. Now I just need to get all the Super Emeralds with him.
Hmm, you check out the link I posted 30 seconds ago? I think you'll enjoy it. It's to the Europe-like Spagonia stage, one of my three favorites.
Yeah, Sonic 3 was the first title my brother and I bought on VC. It was like, not even a question. We poured so many hours into that game when we were younger. That, Kid Chameleon, and Shining Force.
Ooh, go for it, Hyper Knuckles is worth it.
Oh? Are we talking S3&K?
My.
favourite.
sonic.
game.
EVER.
Bet in the whole series. Lots of levels, multiple paths, multiple chareacters that play similarly but different, and above all SUPER SONIC IN NORMAL LEVELS.
:P I've beaten the game all the way. All emeralds, etc. I tell ya, Super tails is soooo overpowered it's not funny.
I looove that game.
SUPER TAILS! HOMING FLICKIES FOR THE WIN!
Yeah, I've beaten it completely as well. Geez, hours spent playing Mushroom Hill trying to get all those damn Super Emeralds.
Yeah, Sonic, Knuckles and Tails all had just different enough abilities to make each level feel different. And lets not forget a final boss fight of truly epic proportions. Damn that was a big robot.
Dude, my brother always feels ripped off after getting all the emeralds and being unable to play super in regular levels in newer games. S3 spoiled us.

The Advance games have better graphics and better gameplay. It's win/win. ;D
Better gameplay? The Pokemon gameplay hasn't changed an iota in like, ever.
EDIT: Oh yeah, only complaint about S3&K? That stupid section in Carnival Night. If you've played, you know what I mean.
