Games where you can't win are fun, just not if you are only another face in the crowd.

I'm not saying I find them fun. I'm saying it's not a good thing to mock people who do find MMOs fun.

I just try to ignore other people who I don't like (it's easier than you'd think, at least it seemed so to me) and remember that, to a lot of people, I am also an annoying newb. :P

I see what ya'll 're saying. I appologise to those of you who were offended by my rash comments.

Probably no need unless the rash is spreading. I'll check the Lab though; there might be a cream for that.

Argh. Just trying to stop the one bit of inconsequential insensitivity I CAN affect.

Mocking stuff is the way of the world. After all, 8 Bit Theater mocks Final Fantasy for example (in the early ones at least). Besides, 95% of the people who play those games fit directly into the stereotype.

And I've played in a few Half-Life LAN parties, but that's about it.

Up to disc two in Chrono Cross (waiting for the second to download - damn dial-up!), so far I think it's fairly good and I don't know why people harp on about it so much, unless it gets much worse in the second half. Does it?

So....what do you get when you mix Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, and Disgaea?

I like games you can't win - Pacman and Qbert are old favorites.  I just dislike any game where you can't eliminate jackass players by not inviting them to the LAN party.  I game with my homies, yo, and we are leet.

Big McStrongmuscle is one of my favorite people on this board.


What? Game stuff? Er... the bosses in Metroid Prime 2 need a kick in the head. Especially that damn caretaker robot drone thing! Fuck that thing!


And I think the harping comes from the sequel part, no tthe game itself, Master Glorfindel
There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote.
Everyday I'm tumbl'n.

I thought the harping came from the "RAR! Savepoints are evil!" plot, as well as the unsatisfactory ending that scrambled desperately to tie the game into Chrono Trigger.

I wish it would take place in more timelines or dimensions then just El Nido, the landscape gets kind of boring compared to Chrono Triggers multiple worlds. Are the savepoints a part of FATE or something? Anyway I'm only halfway so far so maybe all the bad parts are at the end of the game.

Don't listen to them. Chrono Cross was a good game.

I like the music in CC. And *prepares the flame-shield* Guile should have been Magus.

EDIT: Oh, and they should have had some more stuff on the fall of Guardia, things like that.
