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

They should base the XBox Next on Amiga hardware.

Just with an IBM CPU... does IBM even still MAKE Intel-style CPUs?
20th April 2004, 11:56 AM
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?
20th April 2004, 12:11 PM
A GC IS like a Mac, you know... hardware-wise...
20th April 2004, 12:16 PM
It's as much like a PC as it is like a Mac.
20th April 2004, 12:17 PM
And how so?
20th April 2004, 12:20 PM
Let's see...
It has a CPU, a video card, and RAM. Three things both PCs and Macs have! Amazing, huh?
20th April 2004, 12:31 PM
... 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...
20th April 2004, 12:33 PM
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.
20th April 2004, 12:37 PM
And rumors. :)
Not the strongest arguement I'll admit, but you can't completely dismiss it...
20th April 2004, 12:39 PM
There's no argument there!
20th April 2004, 12:43 PM
arguement, as in point, as in issue, etc... not as in 'we are arguing over it'...
20th April 2004, 12:53 PM
Yes that's what I meant. There's no point to what you're saying.
20th April 2004, 12:54 PM
Then there is no point to what you are saying either...
20th April 2004, 1:08 PM
My point is that you have no point!
20th April 2004, 1:11 PM
And thus continuing what is by your own arguement a pointless discussion?
20th April 2004, 1:20 PM
Precisely!
20th April 2004, 2:37 PM
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*

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.

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...
25th April 2004, 2:53 PM
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.

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

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

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...

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.
