Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Pets and food
|
on: August 13, 2005, 10:39:21 PM

but i know something yall dont know, but i rather not comment on that part right now.
Yall just remember, food is food, and if you eat too much of anything, it can be bad for you, this goes for humans and animals. First of all, General - stop with the "I know something you don't know" stuff - please? If you're not willing to share it, you are on the wrong forum... Second, "food is not food" - different species need - and can tolerate - different foods - and some are even poisonous. I get the part where you say that these are only occasional treats - that's cool - but you really should make sure that the food in question is at least safe for your pets. But I still like the silk robes and tiny socks, so don't be mad at me, lol...  The sooner you realize its a joke, the better.

Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Fish tank on the second floor?
|
on: June 20, 2005, 05:12:17 AM
|
Well one gallon of water weighs 8 1/3 lbs. So 55 gallons = about 458 lbs if that's any help. Factor in gravel, stand equipment and you're probably looking at about 475 lbs. That is extremely conservative I would think. A 55 gallon tank will need about 50 lbs of gravel alone. Then add in a nice heavy stand to support it and I would say you are closer to 525 lbs. All that said, I had 2 45's, a 29, a 20, and 2 10 gallons on the second floor with no problems.

Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity is out...
|

I don't know its worth $50, I would say $30 sure. I don't console game much so maybe I am being to hard on it.
Dialog is overly cheesy, its along a 5 year olds level and then they throw in the word "dick" and you have to laugh at how silly it is.
Graphics are horrible, there are limited character models, and they didn't do much to make it is obvious who is on which side, so I sometimes have to pay extra special attention to who am I am attacking because you can attack allies in the game. Anyway I really don't like the artwork used in game, to the point where I don't like looking at it because it hurts the story for me. Neither the combat models or the story line art looks good to me. In fact the more I see of it, the more I despise it. I am shocked to see reviews that say how good the graphics are.
The non story quests are pointless. Most of them seem to be a random did you succeed or fail kind of thing. For instance a cat needs to be a rescued from a tree, if you accept the mission you get a "..., ..., ..., You rescued the cat! Here's $500." Pretty pointless. Other quests send you on to an area to fight, where you usually get another character in your group after completing.
You can really throw off the balance by doing the catacombs. My guys are way ahead of where they should be so the missions are incredibly easy for me right now.
Another thing I don't like is when you start a map there will be 10 enemies on it and only 3 of them or so will move. The others will just sit there until you defeated the first wave and so on. I would rather have everything active at once. You never have to worry about the bosses because you can clear out everything else first.
All that said, the game is kind of fun. It has a FFT feel to it that keeps you going. I just wish they would have spent more time on it and made it better. The whole thing seems half assed to me. It really makes me just want to play FFTA.
I would give it a 6 out of 10.

Thanks for the spread sheet, printing it now. After about 3 hours now. I like the game, its fun. My biggest complaint is I hate the graphics, bland, boring and too cartoonish (I don't console game much). The voice acting isn't a problem now that it's turned off.  Anyway it's no FFT Advanced, but it if you want a game of this genera, its a good play.

Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Final Fantasy Tatics type game on PS2 or GC?

Picked up Stella Dues since they didn't have Disgaea.
Sorry, for the confusion, I have FFT Advanced, and I really like it, but I can't stare at the small badly lit screen for that long on my SP. I was hoping for something for the big screen. I might have to check out the original FFT.
Gamespot said Fire Emblem isn't due out here until November.
Thanks for the advice guys.

Sorry but I rarely console game, but I am having a craving for FFT, but I don't want to play that game on my Gameboy SP. So what is good in that lines? What is the game to get? Of course the Stella Dues thread doesn't really have impressions.

Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / PSP - dead pixels?
|
on: March 25, 2005, 12:11:35 AM
|
I don't have any dead pixels on my PSP, but I do have a speck of dust under the screen, which took me all of 2 minutes to get over when I got caught up in the absolute beauty of the PSP screen. Seriously, the screen is freaking incredible. It's like a mini HDTV.  Mine has about 4 specs of dust, one of which really drives me nuts. I don't see them when playing games, but at every menu my eyes go right to the worst one. I bought it through Ebgames.com and if I can return it for a new one, I will.

Is that a picture of Grand Turismo 4 on UMD?? I don't have a PS2 anymore and would love to be able to play it on the PSP.
(I don't really follow console gaming, only am now because the PSP looks incredible, so I am sorry if this is an outdated question.)

I'll just head over to one of the never-visited places like ToysRUs and such when I have the money to buy one. Toys R Us are the worst of the bundle groups. You can't pre-order from them without getting the 5 game bundle (of games I have zero interest in even). I bought my original PS2 from them (in store) on opening day, you could only buy bundles. I wouldn't think the PSP will be any different.

Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Fake VW Ad - Funny But Wrong
|
on: January 31, 2005, 12:47:56 AM

I laughed my arse off, but then again I also felt that Passion of the Christ needed a super ninja squad swooping in at the last minute to save JC. No, actually it needed the Judean People's Front's Crack Suicide Squad to come and save him. That would have improved the movie 10 fold. (Life of Brian reference if you didn't get it.) CeeKay were you just trying to offend ATB even more?

Not sure if I can help, but with my Clie came with an application that lets my computer see it as another drive. I just ran that and moved MP3s over manually with it. Does the Palm allow you to see it as a removable drive?

Hey LE, maybe you should look at the guys other posts, 2 of his 13 post are about Empire, the rest are about other games. He's a lurker that just wanted to share a game he likes.
Maybe he should whine and bitch about gaming more so he could have as many posts as you. :roll:

Gaming / Multiplayer Madness (MMO or otherwise) / WoW: The Death Penalty
|
on: January 03, 2005, 10:05:42 AM
|

I disagree wholeheartedly. Dying should have very bad consequences such as experience loss and chance of losing your body. It stops people from doing stupid things like wandering into places they shouldn't be. If the cost is high it makes the game that much more exciting. I will never forget my first journey across Norrath at level 10 in EQ1. It was scary as hell and it gave me a real sense of accomplishment when I was done.
The people bitching about the death penalties in EQ1 were usually the players who couldn't level to save their lives.

I post over there more because I am not a console gamer and the Off Topic is a bit more active on OO, but I visit both. The double posts do get old though. I wish the community would have moved as a whole instead of splitting.

The thing sounds great, but I am confused on which one to get. What did everyone else get?
I want to use it with a Sony TV, amp, DVD changer and a Motorola digital cable/DVR box. I pretty much hate having 4 remotes sitting around.
Edit: forgot to put DVD changer.

You can take the trolling back to OO. I realize his views are controversial, but I have no desire to get into it with you. And thanks for the reminder as to why I never registered over there. LOL I asked a question, if you are going to make the comment I wanted to know why. Your reply was much more trollish than mine. OO misses you Laner.

I'm not a big football fan, but I always respected Reggie White as a person - sorry to hear about this... must be particularly tough on his family considering the timing. I already got some grief on OO about this, but you post made me want to ask: WHY? What exactly did you respect about him?

Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Mel Gibson.....idiot
|
on: October 31, 2004, 04:29:04 PM

I am pretty tired of actors using their fame to express personal beliefs. They are people just like you and I and are no more deserving to a soap box than any of us. Entertain me, screw off if you want to express your religious or political beliefs to me. I don't understand that idea at all. If thereis an audience for your personal beliefs than why shouldn't you create something that audience will embrace? There is no reason he shouldn't have made the movie. He financed it himself... I personally hope he makes more Christian movies, such as Job, The Gospels etc. I have no problem with him making the movie. No one made me see it, I paid money to see it, so I opened myself up to it by choice. My point more is that these people are just that, people. They are not anymore intelligent than your neighbor. I find it scary that Sean Penn can get up and give a speech about politics and anyone cares. It shouldn't be a news item that Mel thinks his wife is going to hell or that M&M thinks people should vote. I wish the press would stop reporting entertainers political beliefs, because if what they think matters to you, maybe you shouldn't be voting?

Because it's not up to man, it's up to God if there is one. And to be so sure you are right over someone you care about, at least keep it to yourself instead of announcing it to the world.
Anyway even if you are 100% sure in your head about god and the afterlife, there are billions of people who are equally sure about their beliefs. None of us know for sure, it's that simple. To imply that you know it all is idiotic.
