Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So this is the same day as THE NERDTRON SLUMBER PARTY: AN 8-BIT DREAM(ALL AGES)

I think the entire state of Nebraska is going to John if it's the 26th :/ Some people are even helping run it. So idk what that means, but if you guys have a bi-weekly the 12th-13th or whatever maybe we could have a NE/IA thing at ur place Joker since Auras is gonna be the next week and you'll be up for that
Why did I not knew of this event?

Iowa City, like 10 min drive to Yink <3
You are also quite close to me (Mount Vernon, 20 mins) and to Kuares (cedar rapids, maybe 25 mins). There is a smattering of other players in the area too (Ngamer, soran, the rest of the Cornell Crew). There is a sonic main from IC (Mushroomring) also. Hope to see you for some games soon.

Heh, WHOBO 3 doubles is being held Friday during the day time. I prolly could skip class Thursday and Friday before spring break and go. Ugg, but finding a partner gonna be tough. My little brother has school and is notoriously out of practice. I'll see...then I got to find out what type of TV's they got. Cause the little tech skill I have is heavily tv dependent :-\

Update: rained for the first time here.

Christian, you still using my computer? Just curious.

I so cant wait to get out of here and back home. It sucks so bad not being able to just go out and chill. Lock yourself in a cage for a few days and you will get it lol. Watching air gear again doesnt help that feeling at all either lol.
Just go AWOL and hide in Joker's basement. They'll never find you.

So is there a definite date for the monthly yet/soon?

EFIT: When did they start putting ads in our posts? Can they do that?

Yink's sig gives me the sudden urge to play Earthboud.
How would everyone feel if they modernized Earthbound? (visual-wize)

and...
SURE THING, Rockstar!~

the thing that kept me from playing earthbound for my snes was the TERRIBLE TERRIBLE graphics and semi-boring battle system, i just could not get into that game, i always just went and played ff3 or crono trigger instead.

see, that's how I feel about FFVI. I'm currently just watching a playthrough.
My friend has the Anthology (FFsom'n and FFVI) and offered to lend it to me. I declined because I didn't think I could get into it because of the battle system and the graphics. I just wish they could make a beautiful OVA in great detail. Like Tales of Phantasia (my favorite Tales of..) but I haven't played it. I almost got the game for GBA but the store's last copy left conveniently a week before I went to retrieve my copy.

It would be cool if they Made a new Tales of Phantasia with Tales of Symphonia's battle system. I think Tales of Phantasia's battle system was actually turn-based. Which is why I'm glad I didn't get it. Then again, it was a cheap price. Oh well.

hey alls i'm sayin, is that when i was a kid and i had that game, i couldn't play it because i felt that ff3 and crono trigger were like a thousand times superior, to be honest i never have tried playing the game since then lol.

not as bad as sephiroth in FF7, I've tried to lose that battle, took off all my materia, put on the buster sword, no acc and wizard bracket or something with low def%, no materia...you get it. I go into battle and just wait forever...for him to attack...and when he does, I counter him and he dies! WTF!

FF5 you butthead, it's amazing. So is Earthbound, I don't get the hate.
I'm not hating >.<

I'm sorry if some people should consider me 'not a true gamer' .
How we talk about how Mahvel, baby 3 will never be as good as Mahvel, baby 2- I don't see it that way. This is various with many games but I feel the latter generation surpasses the predecessors. (note: various) Such is the case with SSB and SSBM. (SSBB is that exception) Also depending on preference and other factors. I couldn't get into Mahvel, baby 2 because... simply I didn't find it exciting. Probably due to me being spoiled by BlazBlue and other latter gen fighters. But I can still go back and play 3S and enjoy it way more than some current gen games. That's just me.

Take life in perspective. This is probably why you don't get the hate.

^This. Only a handful of newer gen games is actually consider a diamond in the rough.
