Dunno how the mods will react when they see it?

Dunno whether they have this kind of sense of humour!

[Tony]

not fussed, if they do i could always get my connections to send a virus to the site lol, nah i am not that evil lol

[Thaxul]

You'll prob get banned from the site for saying that!

[Tony]

its all good, has u seen the screens for the new zelda, it looks like lord of the rings ( the movie) but zeldaish

[Thaxul]

No, dont play zelda cos I dont have GC!

[Page]

Well if you want one, now might be the time to get one if you live in the UK. Index (the catalogue stores) are having a promotion at the moment; £39.99 for a GameCube.

I don't think that's much help if you live in Ireland though. Sorry. ^^;

[Thaxul]

£40, thats , wat, bout €60. thats cheap, but unfortunately, i live
in Ireland!

not complaining bout livin in ireland though!

[Page]

Well if you really wanted on maybe you could get someone to buy one for you? A relative or something?

[Thaxul]

Only have one relative in england, but I dont really know her that
well, and my parents dont like her much either!!!!

[night]

why are you advertins game cube whats so good about them?

[Art Wolf]

Do you want specs discussion or games point of view? Was at Lan night and it degraded into a big discussion concerning as to whic was better - the X-Box or the PS2 and the specs..engines and a whole lot more crap I dont understand was argued over ^_^

God they took their games too seriously ;)

[Page]

Bah, I don't see why people argue about which format is best all the time. All i'm interested in is finding a decent game to play, that's what gaming is all about.

why are you advertins game cube whats so good about them?

Well someone mentioned it so I just remembered that I read about them being sold cheap. I thought the info might help someone who hadn't heard about it.

[femme_fatale]

heh lol
sorry - i just HAD to say something...
games cubes - are they good?

[mimiru_rei]

gamecube are okay (i've got one), just europe barely get any decent releases, half my games are imports, and i'll import more when i can, tales of symphonia and baten kaitos (both rpgs).

Sure the new Zelda looks good, shame that zelda the wind waker wasn't. also note how the footage of the new Zelda comes out when Nintendo, hint at their new console (already) making me thing it won't be for the gamecube at all!!!

[femme_fatale]

cool - what beat 'em ups can you get on gamecube?

[mimiru_rei]

uk releases for beat-em ups are rare, Soul Calibur 2, Mortal Kombat, Super Smash brothers melee i think thats it.

in Japan there is a naruto beat-em up and some wierd one involving lots of strange japanese tv characters, can't remember what its called?

[Shamay]

i know you can get Soul Calibur 2 for GC, but I think there aren't that many beat 'em ups for GC are there? Thats the only one I know of.

[Page]

some wierd one involving lots of strange japanese tv characters, can't remember what its called?

I think i've read about that somewhere.... it has Bomber Man and some Transformers in it too. But yeah, you get a better selection if you import.

[mimiru_rei]

yes thats the one, i have a preview on a cd/dvd somewhere.

10 points for you, (total 30)

[Hogso]

Any of you doods got Animal Crossing? I've heard 'rave' reviews...is it any good?

[Shamay]

Two of my friends have that (both on import) and they say its the best (or second best, depending on which you ask) game they have ever owned. Parently the online community is pretty tight tho, you have to havecertain things in your village or you just get ignored and laughed at... But the game is cool

[mimiru_rei]

yes, that was my 1st import, it is so over rated. its good if you have 3 other friends or family who you can trust not to do bad things.
but usually they are so few events through each month it becomes boring quickly, mostly its about getting money, to pay for your house, and once you've paid for that,
it really doesn't leave much but running errands, fishing, bug collecting and completeing the museum. thats why i'm trying to sell my copy.

[Shamay]

Apparently Harvest Moon is very good too, but it might just be that I have two very strange friends...

[mimiru_rei]

no harvest moon is really good, thats why it sold out quite quickly, cos ubisoft never made enough copies as they under estimated it,
speaking of ubisoft anyone played the excellent Beyond Good and Evil?

[Hogso]

Beyond good and evil...rings a bell...does it have pigs in, or something wierd like that??

[Page]

Harvest moon.... I didn't think i'd like it but the GBA version is addictive. And no i'm ashamed to say I haven't played BG&E - yet. Ubisoft have been releasing some really good games recently

[Shamay]

I was going to buy Beyond Good and Evil, but someone got me to buy Soul Reaver 2 instead, starting to regret that alittle now.. What is Beyond Good and Evil actually about though? The back of the case doesn't exactly explain it well....

[mimiru_rei]

you should so get BG&E, it is so brilliant its one of the best games i've ever played, it pretty, its deep. buy it, buy it now...its your duty. :D

[Page]

Okay okay, i'll buy BG&E as soon as i'm not quite as broke as I am at the moment. ^^

[Shamay]

Dang, whenever I find something good to buy its never when I have money! I was quite disapointed with Soul Reaver2, its not actually that good, sure sucking out peoples souls is fun, but running through marshes isn't...
And when I bought that I vowed never to buy games from Virgin again, first and and the cd looked like somone had sneezed on it, it was disgusting

its set on the planet of Hillys, which is being attacked by a race called the Domz, the alpha sections are meant to be protecting the planet but don't really seem to doing anything about it.

you play as Jade, and its your job to investigate the situation and find out what is going on. it conbines stealth, racing sections, and general puzzle solving, hope that helps?

[Shamay]

It helps, but in a bad way, now i just want to buy it even more!! I need like a ist or something, stuff I need to buy.... Dang

[mimiru_rei]

i'm sorry, but you can probably get it new for about 19.99.

[femme_fatale]

lol aw... shamay... :D
)sorry another of one of those things that i just HAVE TO say for no reason whatsoever :D(

[Shamay]

lol, Girls are always saying aww to me... AH, least its easier to save £20 than £30!! And plus, I may be able to get my parents to pay for it... :D One of the good things about childhood....

[mimiru_rei]

parents are great sometimes aren't they?

[Page]

But you can't rely on you parents forever. :p

[Shamay]

Parents are great, but once I go to University (which I hopefully will) I get the feeling money might become something I have to work for a bit more...

[mimiru_rei]

i know more than most, that you can't.

[Page]

It is. Trust me, if you go to Uni you will need to find a job fast.

[Hogso]

I got a job about 2 years ago to get some money together, plus it helps before I go to Uni in the summer

...apparently, but I spend it all anyway :D

[Shamay]

lol, I just know that if I get a job I'll think I have loads of money and go spend it all on rubbish I don't need! Man I hope I have more common sense when I get older!

[Page]

I've lost count of all the times i've tried to save money. There's always a fantastic new game/DVD being released, or the realisation that I haven't bought any food.

[Shamay]

Wow, student life of the gamer... It has bleak outlooks but could be interestng to watch from a faraway place...

[mimiru_rei]

getting older done always mean you'll get wiser (trust me i know)

also food, its not that important, so go for it?

[Page]

Food's a lot more important than you think. Trying to survive a week on rice and bits and pieces from the cupboard is not fun. :)

Wow, student life of the gamer... It has bleak outlooks but could be interestng to watch from a faraway place...

Hmmm.... maybe I could be the star of my own TV show then! That'll bring in some cash! :D

[mimiru_rei]

sounds like a normal week to me, so whats your point?

[Page]

Nothing really, but it's still not fun.

[Shamay]

Wow, never realised living without food could be such a big part of student life... Not entirely sure if I'd survive, I get hungry after very shorts lengths of time... Its like I'm a bottomless pit sometimes... That wont be good

[mimiru_rei]

i'm starting to think i'm a vampire cos i'm not really into food, well except chocolate!

[Thaxul]

I wouldnt be able to last long without food! Im always eating!

[Shamay]

Its when you only go out at night and your friends necks suddenly look very tempting that you need to worry...That and when you wake up with blood on your lips and your friend has blood on their neck... Or you could have just been kissing their neck and bit your lip...

[mimiru_rei]

oh, really er...
i could have a problem cos all those things have happened, and some of my friends have disappeared too!!!

[Shamay]

Uhm, please saty where you are, I wont be there, ever...

[Thaxul]

One way to test..............................go out in natural light, if you dont burn up, your not a vampire!

[mimiru_rei]

just kidding!!!

none of that has happened really, but i do think i am so a child of the night, i could sometimes happily sleep all day. maybe thats me being lazy though?

[mimiru_rei]

i went outside this morning, so i guess not...phew!!!

[Thaxul]

Now I dont have to be afraid of you!

[Shamay]

Its weird, all day i just want to sleep and do nothing, but it hits 9pm and suddenly I get hyper as hell and want to run around screaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
YAY! Now I don't have to fear, but having a friend who see's you as a snack might not have been so bad...

[mimiru_rei]

similar with me, this afternoon all i wanted to sleep but as soon as it starts to get dark, i'm wide awake. this could have something to with nothing being on tv during the day though.

[Thaxul]

Tv sucks nowadays! Specially if you only have basic cable!

[Shamay]

Mweh, TV sucks full stop, the only interesting things Ive watched recently are MTV2 and Kerrange!, all the rest just gets on my nerves and bores me!

[mimiru_rei]

it would be okay if had satelite etc, but stuck with the basic channels, i hate soaps and reality tv, i'm not into watching sport i'd rather play them instead.

[Page]

Even when you've got satelllite it can be hard to find something interesting to watch. I wouldn't complain if I got it though.

[mimiru_rei]

well least you've a choice if you have satelite, digital whatever,
i guess there could be more anime than just astro boy?

[Thaxul]

I would love it! I just really want the sports, music and channels
that have anime shows on them!

[mimiru_rei]

are there any good anime channels though?

[Page]

I don't think there's much anime on digital TV. I know that Sci-fi has a couple of series on at 5.00 am.

[Thaxul]

I know cartoon network has some! But I would accept any good
anime, I havent seen much at all!

[mimiru_rei]

5am? well thats no good unless you video it, if you can tape satelite programmes?

[Thaxul]

Or you could get sky+, and record them and watch them l8r!

[mimiru_rei]

true, but seems a bit expensive just for anime, not that i have the money anyway.

[Page]

Yeah you can. I've recorded a couple of things before. I don't know what they're showing at the moment, though they have had stuff like Evangelion, Excel Saga and Nadesico in the past.

[mimiru_rei]

so nothing you can't buy anyway, hmm - i probably won't then if thats the case!

[Thaxul]

Ill just have to get some money together, then buy some good animes

*counts money in piggy bank*

Looks like Ill have to get alot more!

[mimiru_rei]

i will do the same soon, i need new anime, i can only watch excel saga, you're under arrest, puni puni poemy and dirty pair flash so many times before it gets dull.

[Page]

I need to get the last 2 volumes of Full Metal Panic at some point....

[Thaxul]

Thats more than me! The only anime that I can watch is Yu-Gi-Oh!! That is an anime, isnt it? it looks like one!

[mimiru_rei]

i want full metal panic too, but is it any good, the trailers look alright.

i think Yu-Gi-Oh is, it sounds and looks like it!

[Page]

Full Metal Panic is one of my favourites. The art and the story are both really good. ^^

[mimiru_rei]

when i can i'll be sure to get it, now whether to get Eva or Pretear first?

[Page]

I'd say Eva, but it's your decision. ^^

[mimiru_rei]

it depends where i'm going to buy them, my local hmv doesn't have all the Eva series, so i may do it over the net, if i can find a good site that is!

[Page]

Play.com is usually pretty good.

[mimiru_rei]

i'll be sure to have a look thanks.

[Hogso]

Sorry to bump in late, but there is Toonami on Sky aswell...but it just shows stuff like DragonBall.
Did anyone watch Fist of the North Star when that was Channel 4? I'm talking about years ago tho...just when I got into anime

[mimiru_rei]

i must have missed that, i must have either not been into anime or my not liking it at the moment stage.

the only anime i've seen on channel 4 was a documentary saying how bad manga was, with legend of the over fiend, rei rei among others as examples, nobody had anything good to say at all.

did you see the live action fist of the north star on bbc 1, not so long ago, it was so bad.

[Hogso]

Oh god, that live action version was an embaresment! It was really really bad...

[Page]

I remember watching a bit of the anime when it was on; lots of people were exploding and stuff whenthe main character touched them. And it's better to forget about the film.

[Hogso]

Heh....I love that series!! Its fantastic! Theres a really good arcade game of it too - if you ever see it, play it :D

[Thaxul]

I never knew that channel 4 played anime! I never saw them, or didnt pay attention to them!

[night]

toonami shows outlaw star at 11pm i think?
it was quite good.

[femme_fatale]

what's outlaw star about? my friend's mentioned it to me before...

[night]

graplership outlaw star and crew. it search of the galactic layline.

[femme_fatale]

ah... ok... i really understand )sarcastically( actually i do... but never mind :D
