Heheh, maybe not. I can't stand wearing hats or a tie period, but I have both country music and video game music on my harddrive.

I always liked Gundam Wing, mostly because the mech designs in that one were so freakin' awesome.

Anybody else hoping they put Earthbound on the Virtual Console System?

Well, I think that was intentional. The camera in the Government scenes was a lot smoother, right? I think it was largely just a style thing.

Hehe, I just realized that the 'Metal' subculture... Wow, that describes my cousin a few years ago to the twentieth leter of the alphabet.

The clothing looks exactly like what he used to wear--baggy black pants and hoodie, and the spiked bracelets. Wow.

He's had to do a little image-remaking, though, when he started attending Milligan last semester, so I'm not sure if he's really 'Metal' anymore.

In FFX there was more time in between random battles, and there was rarely more than one path to take. And in FFX you could fly anywhere with your Al Bhed airship.

Hmm? The old games weren't unbalanced. Well, maybe FF7 and FF8 were (despite being fun anyways), but the rest were pretty kick-ass, classic games.

I tried playing Final Fantasy IV.

Little basic minions kept killing me because there are so many random battles. When you finally get to a town where you think you'll be able to finally buy potions, you find that it's been destroyed. I just can't stand random battles every five steps. That's not fun; it is tedious.

I was going to buy them for my dad for Christmas one year, but then I remembered that he said he didn't really like the series that much. Heck, he loves Stargate SG1 and yet he hasn't even opened the first three season box sets we got him for various special occasions.

And now? Don't have the money...

Ugh! Don't let Quest 64 color your pereception of the whole genre! That game just utterly sucked, and it kept me from playing any console RPGs for years. I definitely feel your pain there.

Final Fantasy XII does away with random encounters alltogether and has a battle system that's almost real-time.

How can you not get into KOTOR? O_O That's like the best X-Box game there is.

I don't think Joss and crew were alloted the biggest budget for the film since the series got cancelled so fast, but I really don't think it detracts from the movie. Eh, that's just me. I've seen about three full episodes of the show and the film, and that's it.

I'd go with Destroy All Humans 2 instead.

Also great:

GTA San Andreas, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII, Bully, Okami, Devil May Cry, Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution, Rachet and Clank series, Sly Cooper Series. Maybe the Jak series, though I didn't particualrly care for that.

Or you could just send them to me. If you were gonna eat them anyway, I mean. I might like them, and if not I could sell them on Ebay.

I definitely agree with that. Like I said, I was impressed with the Magnolia Fans edits, but still found them lacking in some aspects--the backwards dialogue and making Jar Jar needlessly rude.

I don't really think that argument holds water; do you have to be an actor to know when acting isn't any good? Or do you have to be an artist to know you hate Jackson Pollock's work?

On the other hand, if you turn out a shoddy product yourself, you probably have no grounds to criticize others.

Judging by the recent Ghost Rider trailer... I think this will probably be the best comic book film besides Spiderman 3 this year.

I didn't really like MagFan's insistence upon replacing the slightly annoying Nemoidian and Gungan dialogue with the extremely annoying backwards dialogue. Otherwise they were pretty good.
