Now who's confused?

Anyway, it's a good thing I removed it; thinking about it (while playing RC Pro-Am 2) made me change my mind.

While it would be nice to officially establish English as an official language, that probably wouldn't make anyone learn English that wasn't going to already. This removes the only possible reason to even bother establishing it as an official language that I can think of, which means - I don't see the point.

Posted on 04-17-05 10:22 PM, in Age old question.. Coke or Pepsi? Link
Pepsi. After the last time we got cans of Coke, I don't think I'm ever touching Coke again. I will not drink it with french fries, I will not drink it without ice...

I suppose, though, that from the fountain there's not much of a difference to me. In bottles, I prefer Pepsi, and in cans the only use I see for coke is throwing at people. Especially after that last time. Yuck.

Ugh. L90 Magic at the top of the Fanatic's Tower. Damned Merton. Heals the thing for 9999. Worse than MagiMaster, it was.

And if my reading's right Waddler, you get a Tincture. But hey, those things are 1500 gil.

You're all over the place. WHAT Bahamut battle? The "Learning" ability implies FFV or FFTA, and Megaflare isn't Learnable in either. Plus which, Bahamut's not summonable in FFTA, so you've gotta be talking about FFV...

Tip: Don't use Blue for attacks. Blue is good support magic. Big Guard/Mighty Guard (can't recall the name) and White Wind are must-have spells. You PROBABLY should get Aqua Rake/Aqua Breath and Aero/Aero2/Aero3, since you have few Wind or Water options, but overall Blue's best for support.

Posted on 04-19-05 09:34 PM, in What games are you looking forward to? (Any System) Link
I'm not searchign Google, because it's pointless to get information about a game before it's released. But there is one I look forward to.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC confirmed, Xbox2 (whatever it's called) and PS3 possible)
After all the time I've put into TES3: Morrowind, I'm expecting this to be a pretty good game. I'll probably get this for the computer I plan on getting... the console versions of Morrowind are buggier than Virginia in August. So yeah, I look forward to the game - even if I DO have to play the likely-buggy console versions.

A couple enemies know it, I don't have any names off-hand. You have to Control them to make them use it on you. It's a healign spell that heals the whole party in an amount equal to the caster's current HP.

er... looks good, but take a look at the last two screenshots. Peach, with the Hammer. See, for it to look like the hammer's being swung, you have to have it at an angle, like it was in the original. Otherwise, it looks like... well, like that. It's just a minor graphics thing, though. A few other small graphics things - that town shot with the dark green grass; in newreply on 1024x768, it's shot 1 in row 2, with 3 shots per row. That looks a bit... eh, odd. Can't inpoint the problem, though. Might be the green parts on the Hills With Eyes.

FFV, Steak, not FFVI. No Strago in FFV.

Unless I'm missing a secret character somewhere.

your best bet would be PMing someone who has said in the past that they have the ROM. I'm sure a few people have. Check in General Emulation.

and no, I don't emulate the N64 because my emulation computer sucks too much.

Posted on 04-19-05 10:57 PM, in Stealing Rips Link
There are those of us, such as myself, who don't have much skill in creating new graphics. This is why I resort to ripping them from other games, though often I need to edit them so they look right with the palettes available. So if someone were to steal my ripped graphics, I wouldn't care. After all, I rip them because of a lack of skill on my part. Them stealing mine shows an equal lack of skill on their part. If it's something that I had to put some editing into - for example, an FFV sprite rip in an FF hack - then some credit would be nice, but I wouldn't really care.

Edit: Yes, I know this is in SMW hacking, so using FF for an example might seem out of place, but my point is still the same with any other example.

ah the joys of multiple translations.

Catch might be the right command in your case, Trapster.

Catch, FFV. Catches a monster, you can release it later for a single attack.

Trapster, try using Demi. It always removes a percent of the current HP. After 3 or 4 Demis, you should be able to use Catch... if Demi removes 1/2 of the HP in FFV... can't remember.

Kefka: Relm upgrades Sketch to Control with the FakeMustache relic.

Throwing small objects. I've picked up the hobby of throwing pens end over end. I'm getting pretty good at it, I can peg the same spot repeatedly at a fair distance when I'm in the right mood. I think the next thing I need to work on there is the right mood part. I can't do very well if I'm angry or trying to show off, for example, and my best accuracy is when I'm feeling glum.

I remember when someone ticked me off in Biology. They were behind me, a good distance away. I tossed my pen backward over my shoulder, and hit him right in the chin. The teacher didn't get mad, though - he complimented my aim! Man, that kid was pissed.

Doing that which I am not supposed to. I've stolen small things from various people, nothing major, irritated a few annoying relatives of friends... no harm's done, and I get a good laugh. I can keep my thieving tendencies under control, of course.

Aiming Bouncing Balls. Might need some clarification. I take a small rubber ball, find a target and try to bounce the ball off walls to hit the person. The 'target' is usually one of my younger cousins, Sammy. He does the same to me, it's all a game to us. His aim's not so good though. Or maybe I'm just good at dodging.

Nice layout, Priere. Plus, it's a somewhat darker color scheme than some of the other ones here. That makes it better, to me. Bright layouts hurt my eyes.

Okay, so let's see here. It's not okay to rip graphics from commercial games, but it's ok to use the core programming from commercial games? Now, I might be wrong, but aren't you a romhacker, Parasyte? And don't romhackers usually use the game's original engine, sometimes with a few changes, but never completely rewritten? Yeah, I thought so.

But, hey, go ahead and hold on to your double standards. Go ahead and try to justify it with some bullshit excuse. Who knows, you might come up with a pretty creative one.

Writing, drawing - Right

Shooting rifles - Left. My right eye's blind, so dad had to teach me how to shoot rifles left-handed.

Shooting pistols and paintball guns - Right

Fighting - Working on ambidextrous. Still a bit clumsy with the left hand when using something somewhat weighty. Next time I see my cousin, I'll try to get some practice. He's usually a good sparring partner, if a bit hyperactive. Evasive little bugger, I'll tell ya that much.

Flipping The Bird - Left. I'm usually walking away, and I turn right to walk away usually.

Total - Tied. Right-handed longer, though, so it wins.
