Iwata interview...

[A Black Falcon]

Well we will see in a few weeks. But can you think of a better characterization, based on what we know?

[Great Rumbler]

They should base the XBox Next on Amiga hardware.

[OB1]

Well we will see in a few weeks. But can you think of a better characterization, based on what we know?

Yes. It's still going to be a very PC-like console.

[A Black Falcon]

Just with an IBM CPU... does IBM even still MAKE Intel-style CPUs?

[OB1]

Who cares? Is a Mac like a GC because the same company makes its CPUs? That's retarded. ATI also makes video cards for Macs, so I guess that means that my PC is very Mac-like, right?

[A Black Falcon]

A GC IS like a Mac, you know... hardware-wise...

[OB1]

It's as much like a PC as it is like a Mac.

[A Black Falcon]

And how so?

[OB1]

Let's see...

It has a CPU, a video card, and RAM. Three things both PCs and Macs have! Amazing, huh?

[A Black Falcon]

... that is the stupidest arguement of all time! When you say something is more like a Mac in hardware or a PC you're obviously just talking about the differences, not the similarities...

[OB1]

Yes this so-called argument is very stupid. Your whole argument is based off of the fact that the XB2 and GC use IBM CPUs. That's incredibly dumb.

[A Black Falcon]

And rumors. :)

Not the strongest arguement I'll admit, but you can't completely dismiss it...

[OB1]

There's no argument there!

[A Black Falcon]

arguement, as in point, as in issue, etc... not as in 'we are arguing over it'...

[OB1]

Yes that's what I meant. There's no point to what you're saying.

[A Black Falcon]

Then there is no point to what you are saying either...

[OB1]

My point is that you have no point!

[A Black Falcon]

And thus continuing what is by your own arguement a pointless discussion?

[OB1]

Precisely!

[Great Rumbler]

The point here is that you both have points that the other doesn't have a point and that the other's point is not a point, rather a non-point. Point. Point. Point. *points*

[OB1]

*dodges point*

[Great Rumbler]

:D

[Dark Jaguar]

*Points at Vulture*

*party battles Vulture*

[Great Rumbler]

*Great Rumbler casts "No Pants"* *Vulture flees*

[big guy]

*big guy comes running*

did someone just cast "no pants?"

[Dark Jaguar]

*charges 100 gil to cast protect on passers by far from town for a few hours*

*buys a house*

[Great Rumbler]

*Great Rumbler casts "Forclose" on DJ's house*

[Dark Jaguar]

*DJ doesn't know what a forclosure is, though DJ is aware of it's existance*

[Great Rumbler]

*Great Rumbler casts "Enlightenemt" on DJ* *DJ gains 3 intelligence*

DJ: So that's what it means!!

[lazyfatbum]

*lazyfatbum casts "Pick nose" and does so very well*

*lazyfatbum gains +2 to Repulsiveness (R Ability)*

*lazyfatbum loses -3 to Dignity (S Ability)*

Dammit

[Great Rumbler]

*Great Rumbler casts "Destroy Thread"* *Spell fizzles*

[UltraMarioMan]

*Casts Disco Dance* *Suddenly everyone is wearing polyester and doing the hustle*

[Great Rumbler]

Do the hustle! Woo!! *casts "Disco Lights*

[A Black Falcon]

Spells only fail if you get interrupted while casting them!

...

*shoots GR with arrow so that spell fails*

...

*casts Silence, 15' Radius, to stop the music*

...

*is still playing BG2 with most of his free time*

[Great Rumbler]

*Casts "Resurrect" on self* *Casts "Dance Fever" on ABF*

[A Black Falcon]

You can't resurrect yourself when you're DEAD! :)

... Someone else has to do it.

...

Unless your health is below -10, that is; at that point you hit permanant death... but don't worry, you can't be attacked when at impermanant death, so as long as the hit didn't go that low you're safe for the time being.

[Great Rumbler]

Look, I can do things like that, alright? I don't need your permission to resurrect myself, okay?! *Casts "Platform Shoes" on ABF*

[Dark Jaguar]

And besides all the RPG rules EVER MADE apply to this thread! So long as SOME RPG has done it before, do it here!

*automatic "makes no sense" schizophrenic class ability continues it's effects*

*equips one of those guitars that are like... double guitars... ya know? For +40 to attack power and +20% to accuracy, and +a smajillion to funk*

[Great Rumbler]

I have a +3/+3 Afro of Funk you can borrow.

[Dark Jaguar]

Yeah! Mix those stat systems!

My guitar thingy randomly casts "rock" though.

*casts Summon Kidney Stone on Beakman, from the show Beakman's world... with the giant rat...*

[A Black Falcon]

Have you ever played an RPG where a dead character can cast 'Resurrect' on themself? :)

... and my +3 Talking Sword... I'll make it a gift! How long until its stupid comments make you go insane...

Oh, and GR, you were right. Spells can fail, if your Intelligence is low enough...

[Dark Jaguar]

Yes I have :D. In Final Fantasy 7, there is a "final move" enhancement materia that lets you use whatever materia is linked to it as an automatic counter upon that character's death. While a final attack is nice enough, just attach the life materia and you automatically bring yourself back to life when you die. For that matter, attach Phoenix and you bring the whole party back and deal fire damage upon death :D. It only works as many times as it's level is at though (I think it's highest level is 4).

Also, you've played WC3, so you should know the Tauren hero has an auto ressurect ability. Not really an RPG though, but it's an RTS with RPG elements.

[Great Rumbler]

Ha! Take that, ABF!

[Dark Jaguar]

The solution however is to just kill him a few more times so the number of ressurects run out.

[lazyfatbum]

What about Auto Life and the Angel Ring!? It's all you need! GO GO FF TIT-TACS!

[lazyfatbum]

Oh and,

*casts 'Abnormally Stupid Replies for a Person his Age' on ABF*

Hmm... it had no effect... I wonder why... hmm....

Lemme try another one,

*casts 'Ignorant backtalk and slow thought process' on ABF*

No effect from that one either... hmm.....

[Dark Jaguar]

Also, the VERY last boss of FFX is ridiculously lacking in anything close to challenge, because all your characters infinitly auto revive.

[A Black Falcon]

Yes I have . In Final Fantasy 7, there is a "final move" enhancement materia that lets you use whatever materia is linked to it as an automatic counter upon that character's death. While a final attack is nice enough, just attach the life materia and you automatically bring yourself back to life when you die. For that matter, attach Phoenix and you bring the whole party back and deal fire damage upon death . It only works as many times as it's level is at though (I think it's highest level is 4).

Also, you've played WC3, so you should know the Tauren hero has an auto ressurect ability. Not really an RPG though, but it's an RTS with RPG elements.

WC3 is an RTS. That doesn't count. :) ... okay, so there is some games with auto-ressurect items. But I said spells, not items... :D Sure, it's a minor difference, but... I think I'm right in some respect. Auto-things might kick in but you can't cast spells after death. :)

I beat BG2. :( 2 1/2 weeks of 4-6 hours probably 6 days a week will do that, though... yeah, I got kind of addicted...

[Great Rumbler]

Look, ABF, you're wrong, okay? Stop whining about it just because I know what I'm doing and you're just a little newbie who still uses low-level weapons and armor and gets killed by the imps on the first level even though you spent all your money on healing items which didn't work in the first place because you were stupid enough to buy them from the village drunk who actually sold you some grass that he believed was a curative.

[UltraMarioMan]

*Attempts to cast Prophecy from Skies of Arcadia* *Remembers you need 4 people for that* *Swears loudly* *Casts 8675309 on Lazyfatbum*
