Well, it depends largely on how much tea we have - less tea = I drink more milk so mom doesn't kill me for drinking all the tea - and how hard it was for me to get to sleep the night before (less sleep, more milk, more sleep that night).

So I can't vote, really, because some days I drink none, some days I drink the whole quart in a day....

Beg your pardon? The story was far too predictable, thus being probably why he said it was below average. And this IS the truth, 95% of the plot was completely obvious to most people, give or take 5%.

And the graphics... Look at the character graphics in town. Seriously look at them. Horrible. There are some good points with the graphics, but rather than put the added effort into bringing up the quality of graphics that you have to see all the time, they merely let them be, hoping for the fanboys not to notice. Some of the other graphics are well done, as I said. But the characters outside of battle just look awful.

And he didn't say it sucks, he said it's MEDIOCRE (capitalized and put in a larger font because you obviously didn't see it the first time). Two different things.

Think before posting...

I have mixed feelings towards this game. The music varies between great and grating. The characters are unbelievably bland. The job system was great, but the jobs were generally pretty unbalanced, along with their abilities - Mystic Knight with Two-swords or Twohand anyone?

Yes, it's one of my favorite games - I really like the job system, and the fights are at just the right level of challenge usually. But it, like all games, has its share of flaws.

Hmm... Mario and Sonic... ah, save for Super Mario RPG, those games aren't RPGs. People have ALWAYS expected RPGs to have at least tolerable stories.

And I still stick with the characters being too bland as one of the main problems.

I beat Exdeath on the SNES rom at level 41 (Lenna/Reina was L37). Cara/Krile was the last person left, and she only had 8 HP.. I love Flare.

I'm working on two files on the Playstation version now... One where I just play through normally - I'm up to Exdeath's Castle - and another one I just started where I'm only using jobs from the first two crystals...

Which kills my ultimate Seal Guardians strategy. Screw learning Aero3, just do a double GilToss. If you have enough money for it, each hit is 3900 to all of them - they have 7777 HP, so two hits is a kill. I really did this on my normal file...

As for the Earth being 6000 years old, you better have the damn verse that says "GOD CREATED EARTH 6000 YEARS AGO" or *buzzer sound* sorry, please try again. You can't argue with science, so please stop trying.

And Acid Man...yes I know we creationists believe in God, and that he greated the heavens and the Earth...but while we can't prove God ~does~ exist, you can't prove he doesn't. Until then, I guess we all have to let bygones be bygones. You can't prove it either way, so I say we relish in science and enjoy what we find out.


Btw....POLO!


It doesnt actually SAY that the Earth is 6000 years old, but it DOES give you numbers to add up. It says that adam had a kid at a certain age and then it goes on to say that kid had a kid at a certain age and it goes and goes until Jesus. This allows you to pinpoint the approximite date of many events in the bible.


Ah, hold on a second...

Aside from the fact that I fear you're straying from the date of the earth's creation (So you can find out when Adam was created/born? What does that have to do with the Earth?), you still technically would have "proof" if this is true - a long series of Bible verses perhaps, but still "proof" by your definition of the word. I don't mean to continue a petty argument of "You prove it!" "No, YOU prove it!", but you're obviously trying to dodge providing your "proof".

It disappoints me how every time my mother tries to give me a better birthday party than the year before, she fails spectacularly.

It's gotten to where I'm going to ask her not to have a 17th or 18th birthday party for me... honestly, I expected the 16th to go well. Instead, I ended up even more agitated, angry, frustrated, and depressed than on a normal day. Mostly the last two, really. The first two were because of two cousins I had to put up with for THREE DAMN DAYS! One of them was 12 or 13, so she wasn't so bad, but the other one was 10... and unbelievably annoying.

I casually mentioned this thread in passing to my mother today on the way home from... somewhere, can't really remember where.

Well, her reaction was somewhere between "lecture" and "rant". It was one of those rare moments I actually considered violence towards family. Especially since she never let me finish what I was saying. I hate that crap.

That said, it's true that what happened to the World Trade Center three years ago was an act of terrorism and an unfortunate loss of many human lives. But seriously, it was three years ago. And besides, as mentioned in this thread (I think...) there have been far worse incidents that people here in the US don't even kno - or care - about.

I'd also like to remind you that the people who lost family in the attacks probably would have moved on by now if the media didn't rub it in their face every fucking year.


* The statement about people in the US is as a general group and not a personal attack.

I've never fallen asleep in class, either. That's only for one reason.

Everyone else was snoring too loud.

My favorite was probably the entirety of world 3.

My least favorite... that minifortress in world 8. The one with those many paths. That was the last level I ever cleared - most of the time I carried a cloud to skip over it.

People who use too much perfume/cologne - it's meant to be smelled, not tasted in the air
People who feel the need to belong to a certain group (goths, for example)
Aioria
people who don't spell out words online at message boards. It's not an AOL chatroom, people!
People who say shit about themselves online when it's probably completely untrue.

Yeah, that's pretty much all that come to mind at the moment.

No, YD, they're complaining because everyone insults men, but if someone dares to insult women they're called sexist. At least if they do so publicly.

There's also the FFT Hard Mode code with GS and making custom characters with it (so you have a chance against the computers on Hard Mode - they have ALL their jobs mastered)

A lot of people think graphics are everything in games. And while I'd personally like to whap them over the head with a cactus, I find it more entertaining to just shrug and play SMB3 or something.

How does that make you "right", YD? I have nothing against people attacking men. Far from it. However, I think it's a little unfair that people can go ahead and insult men all the time, while you say one thing that can be taken as an insult to women and you're called a sexist. At least that's how it is here...

I also never said we have it "worse", I'm merely pointing out a problem created by humans and not by evolution/creation. The problem I mentioned was one we could - ideally - do something about. The problems posted by Garmichael are ones we can't really do anything about.


EDIT: Whoops, about the above "how it is here", I meant in my area, not on this board.

Well, since I usually finished my classwork an hour before the end of class (1 hr 30 min classes ), it wouldn't have been so bad...

but I had some asshole teachers that refused to give homework until the end of class, resulting in me being bored out of my mind until the end of class - they wouldn't allow work from other classes to be done in that class even when I was done (and my History homework was always long. Easy, just time consuming), nor would they allow me to do anything else. Half the time they wouldn't even let me go to the bathroom.

So how, exactly, is that a problem? They added something, they didn't remove it. Don't like it? Don't use it. That simple.

BTW, I use Koopa and Toadette. Toad's voice is annoying, but I like the Golden Shroom.

Well...Kario was wrong. If a turtle didn't have its shell, that wouldn't kill it directly. It would, however, make it easier for other things to kill it.
No, some (if not all) turtles would die. I think they're partially attached to the shell or something... someone with more knowledge of turtle anatomy?

I don't hate goths as a group, I just hate the individuals. I hate the ones who intentionally label themselves goths (or anything else, really - but I'm staying with the topic) for their stupidity, and I also hate a lot of the people I've known that call themselves goths because those particular individuals also happen to be assholes.
