Wow. I guess they figure since Final Fantasy series has gone downhill drastically, they'll just make a shit ton of spin off games and movies based on FF7. wow. awesome. i cant wait.



ugh. Square needs to pull their heads out of their asses and go back to making QUALITY GAMES instead of games that are good for nothing but graphics and gossip.

Up untill the PSX, damn near EVERY SINGLE SQUARE GAME was amazing. Theres a few that fell short, but since FF7, 9 of 10 games square haas brought out blows.

And will they just let this series die already...they already screwed X with X-2...it's like DB Z to it's GT...just let it die.

Not that I don't mind 7...far from it...it's a great game...but don't be fscking it up with fanboy sequels.



AMEN BROTHA.


And besides, the only reason Vincent was a cool characters was because the other characters in 7 were boring and unorigional.

I think materia would have beenw ay better if certain characters couldnt equip certain materia.
for example, only Tifa nad Yuffie should be able to equip Theif.. Aeris, Red, and Cloud can equip Cure Materias.. that sort of thing.

the problem with the mteria system was that it meant that all the characters could be the same. So choose characters was a matter of choosing who you liked the best, as apposed to who was more usefull. Also, it took away from the strategy of battles quite a bit.

For real, I think women have it worse.

For lots of reasons.


For example, i NEVER want to have to use a tampon.
Mood Swings are shitty.
Having more an more sex makes your vagina fall out, where as a penis isnt effected.
Dudes cant get pregnant from a one night stand with someone they never got the name of.
And then having to have a gynocologist.. getting papsmears.. all that fun medical crap. screw all that.

My sister told me he's playing in a Ska band now, I'd love to hear something of what he plays, but oh well..


Find out what band he's in! I'd like to check it out.

The other day, I was listening to an all ska station, and I came to the conclusion that I actually don't like a lot of ska.

I don't like the slow type ska bands, and I'm drawn to the high-energy ones.
Catch 22 and Reel Big Fish have energy I guess, so I like them more than the Mustard Plugs, and the Skalites of the world.


You're more in to Third Wave. The more you listen to ska, the more you start to appreciate it's subtleties, and the more you'll wnat to listen to slower ska stufff.
You might want to check out The Slackers, Go Jimmy Go, and Warsaw. They're sort of like a fusion between third wave and more traditional styles, with some more modern ideas such as hip hop thrown in.

Mustard Plug isnt a slow type ska band. They';re just as energetic as the rest of the third wave crowd.You probably just ehard one song by them that was slow and labeled them. check out other stuff, like Lolita, or Miss Michigan.

You know at Best Buy, where they have the Demo of the digital cameras, and that little device thing that prints out a polaroid right there?

I'll totally vote for anyone who gets a shot of their undergarments in middle of best buy using it.

Posted on 09-25-04 03:47 AM, in Chrono Trigger Resurrection.... is dead. Link
I read the livejournal, and talk with occassionaly, one of the guys on the team.

They weren't going to sell it.
This is stupid, because theres tons of other Fan-Projects out there. Hell, look at Byond. I dont understand why this project gets killed, but tons of others dont.

My guess is that it was just too good. The artwork was down right amazing.
this COULD be a clue taht Square is working on a similiar project. I dunno tho.


They were going to make GameCube and Xbox versions.. more like Homebrew Hacks. But they were only going to use it in the form of portfolios. they werent going to release it to the homebrew community.



I dunno tho. Im just sad that it got cancelled. the Art alone was breathtaking.
It was such a professional project. At least they still have what htey got done and can show that in their port folio.

Did anyone Download the Music Samples? They were like WOAH.

I'm not exactly brain dead, I didn't judge them on one song. I heard a few from an album of theirs and wasn't thrilled. I also know that I'm into the third wave, although I don't use that term because it's a bad idea in the first place.

I have listened to ska for some time, and I just like the faster stuff more.


Whats wrong wioth the term "Third Wave"??

Its the THIRD WAVE OF SKA.

First wave was late 50's to mid 60's.
Second wave was 70-early 80's. Third wave is mid 90's to present.

You obviously didnt listen to enough Mustard Plug. they're not slow. at all. I dont understand where youfd jskad Nevermind.

I agree with Toxic here, Catch 22 is the greatest band ever. But I actually think Goldfinger is excellent, although they're more punk nowadays than ska, back in the days when they did stuff like Hang Ups they were really good.

On the other hand though, I can't stand RBF, The Bosstones, or LTJ (unless I'm in a really good mood). All of them have an excellent sound, but they suffer from the biggest problem all ska bands seem to suffer from, their frontmen are just annoying. Streetlight Manifesto, however, is extremely good (most likely cause they're pretty much 50% Catch 22).


Fuck yeah, Streetlight Manifesto is extremly good! I love it.

They're like 50% OLD Catch22.
After their first cd, Keasby Nights, half the band left to persue otehr things. The members that replaced them turned the band to shit. That is, except Mingus, the Bass Player. That guy's pretty fuckin good.

So, a couple years ago, the gusy from Keasby Nights got back together with some new guys and formed Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution. About 6 months laer, they recorded the demo for Everything Goes Numb and posted that on their BOTAR site. int he next few months, they recorded Point/Counterpoint, Saddest Song, and We are the Few. It took a year or better for them to get back together and finish up and form Streetlight Manifesto.

If you havent heard any BOTAR, I suggest you check them out. Its fuckin BEUATIFUL music. Pure art in its finest form. Its a 14 piece band. ALL Acoustic. No electricity is used to make these songs.

I've got all 5 songs uploaded on my server. You can download them if you want:

This is a Call to Arms - The intro Song. its a medly of the other 4 songs they made.
Dear Sergio - Yes, this is a cover of the Catch22 song! It's also got an extra verse thats really good.
Here's To Life - Streetlight Covered this on EGN. A song about Kalnoky's Heros that ocmmited suicide.
Its a Wonderful Life - A song about dying in war and leaving his love behind. This is probalby my favorite.
They Will Provide the Paint for the Picture Perfect Masterpiece that You Will Paint On the Insides of Your Eyelids - This one sounds kinda like a SM song. Its really good. Its a song about fighting in a war, and they consequences and pychological feelings of it. Plus, the title is fuckin rad.


oh, and just cuz im on a Tomas Kalnoky kick, Heres a picture of him when SM played here in seatle. BEST. SHOW. EVER>



Also, Heres a couple Desktop Wallpapers I've made.
Streetlight Manifesto
Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution Tank Guy
BOTAR Flying Guitar -this one looks best if you center it, and set the desktop color to black, like on my Desktop.

Has anyone seen this amazing movie?
I downloaded it a couple months ago after seeing it in the theatre. I wasnt sure what the movie was about before going into it, and wasnt sure if it'd be any good. I was pleasantly suprised. this is probably my favorite movie ever, now.

Well, it comes out on DVD pretty soon. Im going to buy it! Anyone else?

(ps, if there was a thread on this, I coudlnt find it anywheres. dont kill me.)

I played it from late may untill about mid august.

It was fun for a couple months.


BUT THEN IT GOT SO BORING THAT I HAD TO FORCE MYSELF TO PLAY.

I played on the Justice Server. Name was NEO JESUS.


Here's some shots for each of his costumes I got him,


And just for fun, heres a char i made:


Also, i started working ona hack. Just a texture swap hack. I called it CITY OF ZOMBIES. I was working ont h textures for NPCs so taht they were all undead. I even got as far as to make every zone look like Dark Astoria. it was pretty cool.

This is before i got the hands done. I never did finish up to do the legs, tho. Got too bored of the game.
