Hack an FF RPG that is currently on the SNES then and turn it into your own FF1-like creation. FF4, 5, and 6 all have fantastic, stable bases to work with.

What do I do to make sure I get work done on my hacks?

I wait til summer. When school's over. Then I can actually finish projects long abandoned, such as the Kirby's Adventure hacking project I barely scraped (although there's plenty of data on that still, and if I can find my notes, I'll at least resume that segment of it, if not start decompressing the levels with Parayste's nice prg he made for me and then start messing with levels)...

Yea... I need to start that up again, but not at the expense of school grades.

yea, that's like a producer of Zelda: Link's Awakening going "The only level I found the least bit harder than easy was Ganon's Tower"... I mean, c'mon! You're the creator! You know your levels! Of course you're going to be able to beat them! Consider the rest of us, though! We don't know the levels. And since I'm still in school, I don't have 88888888 (I dunno why I picked 8) hours to work on beating hack levels.

Sorry if it sounded like a rant (which it probably was), but I just wanted to point that out. Graphics look nice... oh wait... yea, I know who made those now

All I have to say is: Having a copy of this anyway is just cool, whether you take the time to finish it up or not.

Hrmm... I never saw this topic before, but now that I do, I will look at the first post and stupidly respond to it without reading any of its replies...


Okie, well, I coincidentally looked around about this at one time just out of curiosity...

Not sure about Nintendo, but it would seem that the majority of companies have people specifically hired for programming the editors, and then the game designers use those editors to... well... design the game. It gives more people more money

If they are going to have marijuana be illegal, then they damned well better have tobacco be illegal. However, in the U.S., the industry is too big to fight with and shut down. So, since that will remain legal here, it would make sense to legalize marijuana... off topic, yes, but I thought I should say it.

Pretty soon, Big Brother is going to ban all those documents that have too big of words on them

And then... and then... no one will be allowed to read at all soon... and then... and then... we'll be watching executions on TV, and having bombshells fly all around us without a care... and uh... I'll join Big Brother




This is some scary shit though.

I just... I mean... That's... I have no idea what to say in response to that.


I do.

"STFU, asskisser. Not only was that retarded, but by saying such a thing, you have actually brought down the value of the term 'Acmlm's Board' with your stupidity, and therefore, even if it was at one time 'the best term', it no longer is thanks to your sorry ass."

Yea, that's a reasonable response. Boy, I'm an asshole at times.

It might be the best term one day if there was a "Make all n00bs stfu at once" button in all of the non-n00bs' profiles or something.

You could make a MUCH better argument between the relationship of Mario and shrooms than the relationship between FF and alcohol.

You can also say that FF encourages having an apocalyptic happening every 20 years just so we have a job for heroes.

Posted on 12-07-04 09:39 AM, in Guam Birds Highly Threatened By Air Force Project Link
Original article from LA Times

If you cannot view the story, just register a free account on the LA Times site, because its free, easy, and decently fast. And obviously, I highly recommend you read the article prior to responding to this topic.

I will admit that this article is from a liberal writer, but I also believe that she presents the arguments from both sides decently.

Anyway, the basics:

Right after the end of WWII, the brown tree snake was accidently introduced into Guam. As is the case with a handful of invasive/foreign species, it succeeded decently, as it did not have any natural predators on Guam and thus was at the top of nearly every food chain. As the snakes began to grow extensively, the many various kinds of birds in Guam began to diminish in population. Now practically all of them are highly endangered, and a few are even extinct in the wild (but still have a few populations in recovery programs in zoos). Aside from the danger that the birds already face from the tree snake, they now face an even bigger danger: U.S. Air Force projects attempting to expand the base on Guam.

Now, under the original provisions of the ESA (Endangered Species Act, 1973), there is no way in hell that the Air Force would be allowed to do this, because they would have to check with the Fish and Wildlife Service to make sure that they did not affect the habitats of endangered species, and they would have to then come up with a recovery plan for the species if it did have any effect on that species, and then the plan would have to be approved by the FWS. However, the Bush administration passed a new act in the last year that negates the critical habitat provisions in the ESA when dealing with the military. Military branches need no recovery plan and do not need to check with the FWS before building anything.

However, the Air Force didn't leave the EPA and FWS completely aggravated after they became the first military agency to test this new act... for a while, anyway. The AF promised that they would do many things to help protect the highly threatened Guam birds, including building a huge snake barrier so that the many species that are in danger of this invasive species could be somewhat protected. Many environmentalists were very happy about this promise, but others were still sketchy, knowing that the environment and other species were not the primary priority of the military. The latter group ended up being more correct, as the building of this snake barrier was canceled.

The AF officials say that there is no reason to be prematurely fearful for the birds, as the base expansion is still in a planning stage, and still has plenty of room for change. However, many biologists are predicting that this base expansion will help further speed up the seemingly inevitable extinction of Guam birds, as it will essentially destroy all but about 250 acres of suitable habitat for all the species of birds. And remember, they would still have to share that 250 acres with the tree snake, which is a species that greatly outnumbers the birds.

What are your thoughts? Will the base expansion lead to an immediate extinction of Guam birds? Should the AF look to build elsewhere? Are they actually concerned at all about the Guam birds that are highly threatened? Should the act passed by the Bush administration be exempt in this critical situation?

My thoughts:

The military's main focus is to protect our nation's citizens (and, in some instances, invade other nations' citizens), not to keep the environment healthy for all animals, endangered or not. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that in their planning for the base expansion, they will not even be considering these birds much. After all, by law now, its ok for them not to pay attention.

I believe that the Bush administration's act should have exemptions in critical situations such as this one. The arguments for negative affects on the birds have heavily outweighed the positive ones that have been brought up so far regarding this base. After all, this is a Pacific island; last time I checked, our Navy has been doing a great job protecting the Pacific front, and we likely do not need more AF space to help the cause on the Pacific.

I also have some ideas running through my head about the Bush administration acts... there are people out there who believe the ESA to be a bunch of bullshit (I find some things about it ludicrous, but all in all I think its benefits outweigh its negative effects). A few people who believe that are on the Bush administration. I don't think this will be the last bill proposed to negate a certain aspect of the ESA. I think that as long as people who dislike the ESA are in office (and some liberals are against it too, oddly enough), then the more the act will be negated, and the more open we are to not having such statuses as "endangered" and "threatened." The FWS will essentially be worthless over time. I suppose I can go on about why there is argument over the ESA, but I will let others respond first, and if there seems to be some misunderstanding, I will write about it.

Anyway, Guam birds are screwed. I think very soon we will be having zoo crews round up small numbers of them (because that is all that will be left) and captivating them. The FWS and EPA's cause for these particular endangered species have been defeated by a military exemption that really shouldn't apply here. I think that every species is important, and none should be allowed, almost blatantly, to go extinct so quickly. However, I'm sure some value humans more than any other species, and don't give a shit about those other species at all. If you basically state something to that effect, I likely will not reply to you, because obviously there's no way I can change your way of thinking.

Now, your thoughts.

My favorite part was the Phantom Train

Yea, all in all, this game was another brick in the...

Oh, right

The game rocked!

Now I need to single-handedly convince Square to release FF3 on GBA and not DS, because I still don't want to buy a DS, but will have to for that

EDIT: Shouldn't the Bros Chap have a right to sue for the use of their coined term "burninate"?

That works too.



Wait, the Greater Good of plunging a stable country into utter hell and deposing a harmless crazy man?

Why haven't we gone into Myanmar, or Russia. Same exact concepts that arose after the fact that the WMD idea was completely...I don't know...Wrong.

Relatively good article on religion, but makes great points about the absolute pointlessness and brutality of these wars


"Harmless crazy man"? Are you fucking serious?


In regards to America, he was pretty harmless.... Much less harmless than a number of other dictators.

Well, FF3's going onto the DS and not GBA, so an anthology on handheld (which I would love to see) likely would go on DS... oh wait, no... I say it goes on PSP, actually. That's my guess.

EDIT: W00T! I finally beat Shinryu from FF5!
