Actually, I prefer Star Wars for its superior script, acting, editing, and more realistic places. Obiwan and Yoda are equally awesome.

Well, of course they are, since they're the same character. ^_~

No, they're not.

I see Yoda more as that teacher who always tries to mess with you and you hate him at the time but he becomes one of your favorite teachers in hindsight. He's more agitating, more relentless, more eccentric and puzzling.

Obi-wan is a cool old gentleman. He oozes reminiscence of nostalgic glory. He's a tome into the past and he's holding something back from you. He's from a more civilized age.

Coming soon to NNRRPB!...

...Han Solo's "character" makes a play for DirtyErica.

ADMIN: Ohh ok... Maybe you could be a dark Jedi? Although if I make a character who's "interested" in you, then they'd have to be evil! But it's your choice I guess

Erica: That's why I'm a Rogue Jedi...I have a heart of gold...but I'm naughty, too.

By the way, what the hell is a dark jedi?  Wouldn't that be a Sith?

Don't answer that - I don't want to know!

Ooh. Me want.

I'd always watch the GOUT over the SE, but it looked less than stellar on a 52" HDTV. The shots of the snowspeeders looking for Han and Luke especially looked like crap. So much video noise. And the smearing! Blegh.

seconded. and I love Flapjack

EDIT:  Damnit, xhonzi!  I was typing, kay?!

Don't get me wrong, I love the Paper Mario series as well.

Let me break it down for you, mkay?  In certain ways, it's hard to compare the two, as all of the Mario RPG series takes things in different directions.  As far as the action command aspects, yeah, the Paper Mario series takes that aspect from the original RPG and runs with in ways the original never dreamed.  Each character has a specific function on and off the battlefield.

In terms of being an RPG, though, the Paper Mario series is definitely the most simplistic and stripped down of the bunch, though.  The original game definitely has the edge in terms of story and characters, though, where your party members actually feel like characters and not just tools to use in specific situations.

The first game definitely has my favorite depiction of the Mario universe ever.  I remember even attempting a novelization of the game when I was about to finish middle school.  Sadly, I never finished it.  Maybe someday...

Yeah, The Mario and Luigi series always went too far with the action commands for me, to the point where you needed some really good reflexes to get anywhere. I always felt Paper Mario 2 had the best characterizations and world. That game was absolutely hilarious. Paper Mario was my second RPG, after Pokemon Blue, so I hold it in pretty high regard.

Han Solo @ NNRRPB! said:

Ok... Way to much trouble... Generally it means part of your brain is un-developed... Look let's not make this an argument dude... You weren't idiotic in the beginning because you're an asshole... Just because you didn't have any prior experience with RP-ing... And you listened to what I had to say and learned...

Ric Olie @ NNRRPB! said:

Whoa! So you're saying that because I see the advantages of an attractive army, that makes my brain "un-developed?" And I'm an asshole? Where do you get off?

Look, do you have any other experience with forums? Are all the admins on your forums this offensive? Admins are supposed to be helpful to newbies and firm with trolls, not offensive to newbies who are trying to learn the ropes and fall in line. I'm sorry, but you should not use the term "retarded" to describe an idea you just don't agree with.

I apologize for ranting, but you've got me really worked up on this matter. It's a sensitive issue for a lot of people, and frankly, you should just apologize and not use "retarded" the way you did again. One day you'll realize that I'm right.

Oh, and you have a typo in your post.

I'm actually starting to get a little irritated for reals with this guy.

lol he said you're NOT an asshole. Don't let this blow-up, I want to keep it going

Happy Birthday Ady!

You guys are insane. I'm laughing my ass off. I haven't figured out if that's good or bad yet but I'll get back to you...

if you look at the beginning of my first post, I have a link to that wiki page and a link to coverage in detail of MOVE by the Philadelphia Inquirer.   I also said this:

I urge you to click on the links above.   They tell the story more accurately and in more detail than I. 

 

 

Sorry about that. I guess I just glanced over the links.

A ROUGH PROTOTYPE FOR PAPER MARIO?!!!!

UGHGHGAIEUUIRJAEKLGJA BNAKJFAKFAL!!!!!

...

You are dead to me...

Just callin' it as I sees it. I didn't get very far anyway, had to go back to school and I keep my Wii at home. but I LOVE Paper Mario, it's one of my favorite games of all time, so that's kind of a compliment.

Really O_o. Wow, that's bad.....

Also, I guess I overreacted a bit. Again, I'm not an Avatar fan, but I think the writing is what it is very intentionally. It DOES bash you over the head with it and I think James Cameron was doing that intentionally. Whereas movies like the Star Wars Prequels and Transformers were just poorly written messes that I don't think successfully did what they were trying to do.

Your edit is fine, I guess it's just not my cup of tea

I don't see how anyone could miss the fact that the whole thing is an obvious Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer reference. Hermey the elf? I feel sorry for people who don't get that.....even if you don't celebrate Christmas that movie is mandatory viewing.

man no one here has talked about Super Mario RPG. Possibly the best RPG ever made.

Starting playing it on the Virtual Console a while ago but put it down. Will probably get back into it at some point. So far it felt kind of like a rough prototype for Paper Mario.

I actually bought the membership so I could do all three...I'm such a geek

I think my humor was a bit too subtle. Solo though I did a brilliant job ;)

I thought the names would at least piss him off a bit, I mean Ek'Nog, Sande'Klas? Ah well, I don't want to torture the guy so I guess I'll just have some fun RPing semi-seriously

I think he's more peeved by grammatical/formatting issues than the actual content of the story. I made sure that everything I did was correct and meshed with the EU but made the story really silly and an obvious reference.

How to Train Your Dragon. Awesome, awesome movie. Everything about it was great. visuals, score, characters, humor, story, everything. great for kids too. GO SEE IT! It's actually really good in 3D too, I'd actually recommend it for this one.

9/10

Iron Man 2. Twas' good fun, a very funny and action packed movie on par with the first one I think. Saw it at a midnight screening with some friends

7/10

The Hangover. Some pretty hilarious stuff but honestly I think it's just a bit overrated, was expecting more constant lols. Maybe it's because I watched it with my parents on HBO which is always awkward with these types of movies...

7/10

Culture Clash!

O.O

I WANNIT!

also, VCR

Had no knowledge of this, happened before I was born.

Here's what wikipedia has to say, it seems a bit more neutral than your report, which seemed much more heavily critical of MOVE:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOVE

eek, double post. sorry about that

Also, although I didn't care for this movie all that much, I have to disagree with some of the ideas behind your edit. Avatar isn't just a heroes' journey, it's a parable, and I feel that by cutting out some of the environmentalist themes/plight of the Navi/2 dimensional characters you're really messing with the themes and message of the film.

Just so you know, unobtanium is not the actual name of the mineral, it's a figure of speech. The figure of speech was kind of used incorrectly in the movie though, a better example would have been the element Tony Stark needed in Iron Man 2. 

"In engineering, fiction, or thought experiments, unobtainium (also spelled unobtanium) is any extremely rare, costly, or physically impossible material, or (less commonly) device needed to fulfill a given design for a given application."

Octorox just made me feel really old. But that is okay, because Fink made me feel kind of young.

Don't feel bad c3ps, I saw bkev's post and I just thought it was about time us youngin's capitalize on this thread. At least you can buy alcohol and poison your liver. I'm limited to my lungs sadly...

Oh wait, do educational games count? I remember Freddi Fish! Although all I remember is this knot challenge that was really hard :/. I played educational computer games before Pokemon Snap.

If we could go past 2000 I would mention Pokemon Stadium and Paper Mario as big games for me, as well as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (was 12 when I played it and its probably still my favorite game of all time)

^^^^^^^

There ain't no party like a Mario party!

Sadly a lot of the ones I want to put came out after 2000 :/. Pokemon Snap! is the first game I ever played at the young age of 8 or 9ish and that came out in 1999

If you're using the PC version of Mass Effect, use the program 'Fraps' to record everything on screen and all audio. You need to buy a licence in order to use it legitimately without it adding watermarks to your videos, but it's cheap and pretty worth it. I used it for recording in-game footage for a short film I had to make in university.

yeah, not sure if im going to end up doing it this summer, but if I do i'm probably buy the PC version just to get better PQ and less hassle.

No no no no. You guys misunderstood me. What I meant to say with that whole "Anakin-to-Vader transformation" was - 

that scene where those robots transform Anakin into Darth Vader, not the whole emotional converting process through the trilogy (that pretty much sucked).

I was just talking about that one scene at the end of ROTS. It's a cool scene which I was really looking forward to see 5 years ago and I'm still very excited about it when I see it.  And I think  that it should stay and should not be removed.

 

100% agree.
