[quote name='James'][color=#606060]I'm not sure how many adjectives I can use to describe these videos, haha. But as a huge Mario fan, this game is driving me crazy - I can't wait for it![/color][/QUOTE] [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]I think you're on the same level I'm on where every time I see a new video my jaw drops and I fall a little more in love with Galaxy. I'm actually more excited more this then Brawl, even with the new Sonic announcement. >_>; And that multi player video was sweet. It means that while I'm bragging about Galaxy and showing all my friends how cool it is, they can add a little bit to the gameplay without having to learn a bunch of fancy controls. I'm just hoping you don't have to make a whole new file to play with two players (I doubt you do, but there's a chance).[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]When I first started reading through this thread I wanted to replay with a quick *walks into thread* [insert disturbing quote from the thread] *walks out of thread* kind of post. But after reading through all four pages I've found there are to many disturbing quotes to pick just one. I mean... just... erk. This is lame, guys. Can you imagine if a brand new member registered to OB and saw this thread? If I didn't already know you guys and your personalities I would be scarred.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Honestly Alex, you disappoint me. When I was a kid, I grew up playing Mario games on my Super Nintendo, this is true. But I also played a butt load of Sonic the Hedgehog on my Sega Genesis and for him to finally be in a fighting franchise that I love so much is just awesome for me. I honestly don't give **** about Sonic's voice, or personality. He looks badass and fun to play. I love Sonic, I love Smash Bros. so him being in Brawl makes me very happy. I mean it's not like... [I]Silver[/I] is in Brawl. I'm sure that Sonic will be the only one from SEGA to be joining the Nintendo gang. ...Maybe Tails. [i]Maybe.[/i][/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Okay, so with Galaxy coming out in just over a month Nintendo has released some good videos of the game. One of which is the prologue (click [url=http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25847.html]here[/url]). Honestly the whole cinematic just about made me pee my pants. This looks like a true sequel to Mario 64. And they brought the air ships back (along with the epic music)! So there is a butt load of other videos released with the prologue. I'm just going to list them and talk about them a little bit. [url=http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25851.html]Honeybee Gameplay[/url] Basically showcases one of the games new power ups, the Honey Mushroom. Looks pretty sweet. [url=http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25856.html]Phantom Gameplay[/url] This shows Mario using another new power up which allows him to transform into a Boo version of himself. With this power he can make Boos fall in love with him and follow him and also go through certain walls by turning invisible. [url=http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25859.html]Jumping Gameplay[/url] [url=http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25868.html]Jumping Gameplay 2[/url] Just Mario using different types of jumps and acrobatics. Always a key thing for a Mario game so I'm glad to see that they've actually got certain areas of levels that force you to use jumping. [url=http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25860.html]Running Around Gameplay[/url] Mario running around on different levels. Nothing special but oh well. Looks cool, hah. [url=http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25864.html]Spinning Attack Gameplay[/url] Just a short clip of Mario showing off his spin attack move. [url=http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25867.html]Star Capturing Gameplay[/url] This video shows different places where you'll need to grab onto stars to move Mario from place to place. Looks like a lot of fun! [url=http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25873.html]Star Piece Shooting Gameplay[/url] So we already knew that you could throw those star pieces at enemies, and this video shows just that. I believe there was a rumor that you can connect a second Wiimote for a friend to use and they can throw stars as well. [url=http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25874.html]Star Ring Gameplay[/url] Basically just shows Mario using different Star rings but I encourage you to watch it anyway just because at one part he flies around an entire level and it just really shows how gorgeous the game really is. [url=http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25870.html]Mario Action Montage[/url] If you're going to watch only one of these videos, watch this one. It shows a whole bunch of different fun activities Mario has to do. Racing on a Manta Ray? Awesome. Also I couldn't help but notice that when he is balancing himself on the giant gold ball, the faster he moves the quicker the music gets but as soon as he slows down the music does the same! Genius.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]While this game looked interesting, even if I did have a Wii I wouldn't buy it. obvioulsy Blue Jihad pointed out hte flaws, and out of honeslty, this game is limited. I don't think it would keep me loaded for hours. A game that would is like Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, filled with enough bonus content that keeps you playing for hours. And enough aciton. Brawling with Nintendo characters? If I wanted to do that, I'd go to a video game dress-up place and beat up some weirdo dressed as Pikachu.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]...lmao. While Blue Jihad is pointing out a flaw in Brawl I'm sure he still likes the Smash Bros. franchise. If not Melee at least the original. I don't even know where you get off saying Star Ocean has more content than any smash bros game. I mean Melee came out in 2001 and I still love to pick it up and play now and then. I believe my friend has over 500 hours of play time on his game which, considering how many tournaments and battles we've had, doesn't surprise me. I'm sure 500 hours of play is average for a game like Smash bros. You've obviously never played the game.[/COLOR][/FONT]

I really just need something to satisfy my online gaming needs (I would say graphics needs too but my computer takes care of that better than any console ever could) and since I've stopped play MMORPGs Xbox Live seems like a reasonable alternative. I also would like to take this time to brag to all of you about how I have a Virtual Boy. Boo ya. Mario Tennis IN [b]3D[/b][i]!![/i][/COLOR][/FONT]

[quote name='The Blue Jihad']When the free service is this ******? Epic fail.[/QUOTE] [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="dimgray"]Well, I think Brawl is already pretty sweet. Even without online I would still love it so I'm just thankful we have [i]something[/i] as opposed to no online whatsoever.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]I don't know, I kind of like the joint part. :D[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]You guys are so lucky. I've never even owned an MP3 Player. I have a crappy discman that I have to carry around with all my CDs. >_> I'm getting a Zune when it comes out (in November!), though. I can't wait. :3[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Buahaha! My friends, I present to you my very first AMV (and Claymore, nonetheless). [center][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB5p3MN5QHM]CLICK HERE[/url][/center] All of this AMV creating makes me want to watch episodes 16+, aheh. Has anyone seen them yet? And are they amazing like all the other episodes? :P[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][center][img]http://laughingsquid.com/wp-content/uploads/simpsons_movie1.gif[/img][/center] Okay, well I haven't actually seen it yet, it looks pretty damn funny. I've been hearing it's just like one episode that's basically funny every second. What do you guys think? I'd like to hear some reviews from those of you who have seen it already too.

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]So in all of this "drugs makes you bad" crap, where do the people that do drugs (or drug in my case) and haven't suffered side effects (like losing friends, ruining your education and all that random stuff) fit in? I mean just because you smoke... [I]the [b]W[/b] word[/I]... casually doesn't make you a loser or (more on-topic) addicted. People think once you do something like pot you're automatically hooked and become dependent on it. While this may be true for some harder drugs (and I [i]do[/i] know people that have tried hard drugs like cocaine and stopped after their first experience) it's not for weed. [B]Example:[/B] I went camping for four days this week and couldn't smoke at all. I didn't care and I still had a great time. But I still like smoking. It doesn't control my life and if my grades actually did start slipping (which they haven't) I would stop (at least until summer).[/COLOR][/FONT]

[quote name='Kenshin DX']Yes it is illegal and is pretty much as illegal as downloading a movie or music without paying.[/QUOTE] [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]I hope you guys know that for a No CD Key to work, you have to have the game already installed on your computer. As in you either paid for it or borrowed it from a friend and installed it. It's not the same as downloading music or movies but more like getting them from a friend and ripping them to your computer. The only reason I use No CD Keys is because I have two computers and for my brother and I to play together we'd have to buy two copies of the game which is just dumb so we get a No CD Key for one of the computers and the problem is solved.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Well, what you need is a No CD key which aren't that hard to find (you can probably google it). I know of a really good site with tons of games but I don't want to tell you because than so many people would go there and I like it being small and unknown. /greed There's also a bunch of puzzles and stuff you have to go through to get into the site which you can't solve unless someone who knows the answers tells you.

Okay, this is me a couple minutes later. Sorry about the rushed writing but I was being hunted. I only just found a way to the roof of this warehouse. There's only one way up here so hopefully those fucking things can't get through the barricade I built. Holy shit does the town ever look like a pile of crap from up here. Everything ransacked. Not a single survivor in si--. OH MY GOD! I think ther[/indent] [right][B]December 14, 2007[/B] [i]6:03PM[/i][/right] [indent]It's been a month since I was seperated from my family. I just don't know what to do anymore. I spend day after day following the crowd of people walking from town to town looking for shelter. Nobody will take me in and sooner or later I'm going to escape from these fucking military pigs and create my own shelter. There's got to be other kids my age in the same position. I just need to figure out a way to contact them. This is all too much. Not even a few months ago I was happily sitting in my home, not concerned about a thing. Now it's a struggle just to find real shelter. You can't trust anyone anymore, either. I've learned the hard way that if you make friends in these big crowds of drifters, they just steal from you. Another reason why I need to get out of here. I just wish someone would find me and get me somewhere safe...[/indent]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]It seemed as though the short fight had taken more out of him then he though because Leone had passed out after seeing the mirage and didn't wake up until all the Yoki in the forest below had been suppressed and all the Yuma were dead. He bolted up and wiped some dirt of his clothes. Making sure his possessions had not been swiped by a lucky traveler, he turned around and jumped off the edge of the cliff, sliding down the wall with the heels of his feet. Because this took quite a bit of Yoki to do, the group of Hunters that Leone had been observing felt his presence. "Someone is coming." Llyra said to the other Hunters, who also felt the incoming Yoki. All the Hunters except Ky (who had only just woken up) and Llyra (who could tell it was another Hunter) readied their weapons. Leone emerged from the underbrush of the thick trees. "Sheath your weapons," Leone laughed. "I'm not here to harm you." The Hunters did so and one even let out a sigh of relief. "I was afraid more fighting was going to take place." Melan said, sitting down beside Ky. Crim smirked and folded his arms proudly. "Me too, I was getting a little excited." he chuckled to himself and Melan glared at him. "Aha, alright. You're probably wondering who I am so I'll explain it to you. You've all been being observed and studied for the past year or so and the Organization Leaders have decided to make you guys, under my leadership, an Awakened Hunting Group." Leone was interrupted by Llyra. "Hmm, I haven't been on one of those escapades in quite a while. This should be fun." She smiled to herself and leaned against a large oak. Leone pulled out a piece of paper with random scribbling and notes all over it. His eyes darted around the writing and locked on a name. "Llyra Sol, number sixteen, it's a pleasure to meet you." Llyra nodded in reply. He then read the rest of the paper. "And we also have here Mr. Joseph Crim, number twenty-four and Ellemere... no last name, number twenty-seven. And then we have two Hunters here who have not yet battled Awakened Beings before." "Melan Hurst, number thirty-three and Kyzallis, number... forty-five." Leone closed his eyes and thought about that for a minute. Then opened them again a couple seconds later. "Alright, we have our first mission. We're to traverse to the other side of this mountain and in the cave there is an Awakened Being, or a Yuma that has taken complete control of a Hunter, that keeps tormenting the village below. Let's get this over with while the sun is still high."[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]I think what you have is actually pretty much the best you can get while not changing anything drastic, however I gave it a shot anyway. I added a gradient, stroke and outer glow to spice things up, hah. :) [center][img]http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/9640/untitled1copyhh4.jpg[/img][/center] Kind of reminds me of a [B]Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century[/B], lol.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Yeah, it would be nice if someone posts. If you guys want, you can finish off the rest of the Yuma in the next post because that makes it possible for me to advance the plotline. Technically we're still in the prologue, lol.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]I'm surprised nobody has mentioned [b]Elite Beat Agents[/b] yet. It's such a fantastic rhythm game and it's portable to boot! How many hand held music games can you think of that are good? [center][img]http://www.runjumpshoot.com/images/content/2/elite-beat-agents-2.jpg[/img][/center] The game is pretty simple. Using the DS Stylus, you tap circular buttons on beat and in order of number (1 - 5) on the buttons. It also has a pretty good storyline (for something so comedic). Each song has its own unique story to go along with it and depending on how you do in the song, certain events happen in the storyline. The only thing I don't really like about this game is some of the music selection it has but that's alright. It's still great.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Eh, I gave it a shot. The font used there is actually a new updated version of Century Gothic called "Nu Century Gothic" so it's a little different. My computer doesn't have the regular one. I made it similar to the FF logos but still a little different.[/COLOR][/FONT] [center][img]http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/2296/obsessioncopyqi2.jpg[/img][/center]
