... is CRAZY fun on the Gamecube! I've never had so much concentrated fun with a multiplayer game in many many years. I especially love the doctor multiplayer mode where each player has to do something silly while he's playing a mini-game and the other players have to say just how well he performed his task. I've also never laughed so hard at a game before.
If Nintendo makes an online version of Wario Ware I will never leave my room.
GORON CITY, HYRULE--In recent news from the Goron war front, the mighty Goron war machine has been almost entirely handicapped in its grand, glorious campaigns due to a crippling war against a computer virus. The Goron Imperial Army has been rendered virtually immobile for several weeks now, the Goron ambassador to Tendo City reports. "His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Darunia S. Goron XIV, wishes his loyal comrades at Tendo City to know that the war carries on, albeit not well," the ambassador told this correspondent at an interview in his Tendo City embassy. Putting down a warm plate of molten rocks, he continued, "but his majesty is growing concerned. The virus assumes the identity of a "kernel32.dll" file, and even now it grows in power. The Goron Army is hapless against a foe which will not fight in a conventional manner. This virus," the ambassador said even as he began to choke on tears, "it does not fight conventionally---it cannot be reasoned with. First, it just prevented us from using the Start Up menu in Windows... then it gave us all these bogus error messages. Then, the internet---we can get online, but neither AIM nor Internet Explorer function. Some programs, like Winamp, work normally; others, like Paint and JPeg-viewing programs freeze when used. It...it's just not human." The ambassador broke down at this point and the interview was terminated. On the war front, the Goron casualties continued to mount on Tuesday; numbering well into the tens of thousands. The Goron II Imperial Army was swiftly defeated by the Virus forces yesterday, and the war effort grows dim. If things continue as such, the hard drive will either need to be formatted, or worse, a new computer will need to be purchased. His Imperial Majesty sends his heavy-hearted greetings to the Tendo City establishment, and wishes them all well. -------BARRY
My God, it's all I see on CNN, Fox News and just about every other American news station/program that I can think of. Here's the typical news report that I'm normally seeing nowadays:
"Gas prices in America have reached a record high." que-signs of gas prices which I can't even understand (a *gallon*? What in the hell is that?) then, talking to some idiot with his gigantic SUV in the background: "this is getting out of hand. I'm spending $60, $70 a week on gas!"
Why must you complain about gas prices when there is nothing to complain about? The average gas price in USA is $1.79/ gallon. That's roughly 66 cents per litre in Canadian funds, a price that we would be more than happy to have. Some would kill to pay that little for gas. But I guess Americans envy all the other countries in the world with lower gas prices: ( marked with *)
Here's an example of idiots going to the extreme to fight back at these astronomical gas prices:
Belated start to the thread, but yes, the 2004 NHL Playoffs have begun. They kinda suck because the Flames are in it. And the Oilers are not. How I loathe Calgary. And how I love Edmonton. :( I'm all Sens now. Whoo, go Ottawa.
So anyways, what are the other two hockey fans thoughts on the playoffs? Ottawa going all the way?? Eh? Eh???
I don't know how many of you are interested in documentaries, I'm sure OB1 is, but if you are This Old Cub is a must-see. It's a documentary about Ron Santo who was one of the best 3rd basemen in baseball and played with juvenile diabetes. It's not a downer movie at all, which is what a lot of people would expect. The movie is very uplifting and is one of the best documentaries I have seen. I know I'm a Cub fan so I'm a bit biased, but people outside Chicago have been saying this is an early frontrunner for an Academy Award for Best Documentary. I don't think it's playing outside of the Chicago area yet, but look for it in the next few weeks if you are interested as it is supposed to be released in other cities pretty soon.
Whitefleck is now 18, ladies and gentlemen! *gives Whitefleck a birthday card* I was going to put five dollars in the card, but then I decided to use the money to buy lunch.
Quote:It appears that the original Final Fantasy series will be resurrected on the GBA. Square-Enix has unveiled its latest release of Final Fantasy I&II Advance.
The titles appear to be retooled ports of the WonderSwan Colour remakes, and will be released as a single cartridge.
Final Fantasy, as many gamers fondly recall, had the Light Warriors fighting the evil machinations of CHAOS. By choosing from a variety of classes, there were multiple ways of playing the game.
Final Fantasy II, on the other hand is a much more story-centric title. With four pre-defined characters and a variety of weapons to master, it took the series in an entirely new direction.
