The Old Skool Cult of Kefka, bitches!

[ZRO]

Aight, so...here at my parents's house, up in my bro's room, there sits my long-forgotten SNES...so, being the type I am, I throw in my old FFIII cartridge (yes, including Mog artwork on the front still), and pull up my old file. No clue where I'd last saved or anything. So I pull it up and I'm standing there somewhat shocked at what all I have. o.O;

I have just Terra, Edgar, Sabin, Celes, Setzer, and Shadow. So apparently last time I was playing, I was skimping on people. I also only have like 60%ish of the Espers. However...I have Excalibur, Atma Weapon, Genji Gloves on two seperate characters, the Economizer, and the Offering. <_<;; Also have the Striker on Shadow, but IIRC, that's normal. I've got Odin and Bahamut, as well as Tritoch, but nothing else that's zomg powerful. What confuses me, since my memory of the game has gotten rather spotty, is where the blazes did I pull up all of the uber stuff I do have atm? o.O;

I'd have to say that Grim here is a definite lock for membership lol His credentials far proceed him lol Where's that leader of ours to make it official XD

[Jin]

Oh hell yes Grim should be in. The man is a god. Good to see you.

No FFXI, Zro? There's hope for you yet! =D

So, I'm employed now. Yes. No. I hate work. I'm working at Canadian Tire again, if anyone remembers I worked there about 2 years ago. I can't really compare it to any American stores, but basicly they sell hardware, houseware, outdoors stuff, autoparts, etc. Somehow I made it into Autoparts. Ummm, engines ftw? Oh well, their bad. Anyways, I haven't had a lot of time for gaming. I haven't even played Kotor files because I'm waiting for the team Gizka mods to finish what Obsidian originally wanted but had to cut out due to time limits. Bastards. So yeah, my gaming is dried up. ;_;

CP:
Nothing.

[ZRO]

Yay for Grim! ^^

Now to bed...4 hours of sleep + moving stuff into apartment tomorrow = I'm gonna be tired as hell.

CP:
I had something witty and funny, but then my browser borked it up.

[GRIM REAPER]

I haven't had that much time to play online games recently, to much Phantasy Star Universe. Nowadays Im here on my comp playing emulators of the good ole classics like Zelda and Bubble Bobble. Anyway my time has been monopolised by work and my girlfriend who by the way happens to be pregnant. GRIM is going to have his own little hell spawn to corrupt.

[ZRO]

Grim...kid...I R Scared! o_o;

On a side-note, teh Bisho has 'net connection again...and his own place again! WOOTZ!

CP:
FFXI, because I can again, damnit!

[Plastik Assassin]

I guess I will update since its been so long.

I haven't really played anything as of late besides an hour or 2 of FF6 on my GBA, and the occasional race on NASCAR 07. Som I don't really have much to say.

I plan on having a PS3 within the next 30 days, so I look forward to that. Still, FF13 and Ratchet 5 is a long ways away. Still, I'm being prepared.

Also, sour skittles are freakin awesome. That is all.

CP: See above

[Jin]

First Scorp and now Grim? Who's next, Dawezy? Can the apocalypse really be so close?

Congrats though man. ^^ You too, Zro. That new appartment looks pretty sweet. Especially that coffee table for a computer chair.

Gaming, yes...well, please don't attack me, but I started playing FFX-2 again. I suddenly had an urge to use their job...errr, "dress sphere" system. It's really not so bad if you try not to take it too seriously and ignore Rikku wherever possible. *avoids flying objects* At least I'm playing something! XD

CP:
FFX-2

[ZRO]

Hey, I won't say anything (Other than pointing out that FFV has the job system too, as well as FFT ) because personally, I started like an hour of FFX-2, and liked it. I just stopped playing it because I told myself I have to finish FFX first. XD

CP:
FFXI, now with less HNMs!

[Scorpian]

psst..bisho head, you missed FF3(j) it originated the job change system...for that you will recieve...50 lashes from Juice!!!

..oh wait..this is supposed to be punishment right? Dammit >.<

I myslef have been fooling about with FFX-2 I jsut can;t seem to enjoy it due to OCD overloead..and you have to wait SO DAMN LONG to get samurai and Dark Knight >.>

In othe rnews been playing KH and on lvl 52 i can't believe i lost to Hades in the Hades cup!! arrrgh! tis my own arrogance that defeated me though alas....

*kills zro*

[Jin]

The problem with FFV, FFIII and FFT is that I've overplayed them. That and I felt like playing a really fast paced RPG that was still turn based. So it fit. The thing that pisses me off about the game is that I've already missed my chance at 100% on this file. -_- Bloody thing.

[Rasler]

Gah, I need to purchase a PSP.
It's finally got a number of games that I want. The umpteenth remakes of FF1 and FF2, an updated and corrected FFTactics, FFVII: Crisis Core, Loco Roco, and a few others.

I finally got my DS online, and can now suck at MAriokart and Tetris globally. Never, ever, play agame of tetris against a Japanese person. You will lose all pride, confidence, and lose in about 20 seconds. I know I did.

CP: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (DS)

[Ponk]

Erm. So. Hi, kids! It's KC, revamped.

How have we all been? ... And how long have I been gone. Gosh.

Thought I'd pop in, as I just asked a question in the FFXII section. (And if anyone here can help, I'm hunting for the Sky Pirate's Den sprites.) Hi!

Anything exciting happening? Well, I don't have much to contribute here really.

CP: FFXII (and loving it, at the "Final stretch, go complete side-stuff" stage), FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus (controls wonky, don't wanna!) and Suikoden V (just started, impulse buy). Also looking forward to Pokemon D/P once I get my hands on it.

[LocoColt04]

When you get your Diamond/Pearl version, let me know.
WE KAN TRAID PKMANS LAWL

Looks like there were actually posts in the month I was gone! Yay, reading material! I'll go read through those later once I get caught up with everything.

Old school notes:
*Final Fantasy VI on GBA
*LOTS of virtual console games on the Wii (Ocarina of Time!)
*Pokemon Blue

New school notes:
*Hoshigami Remix on NDS (FUN GAME, buy it if you like SRPGs like FFT)
*Pokemon Pearl on NDS
*Pokemon Battle Revolution on Wii
*Resident Evil 4 on Wii



So let's break it down.

Final Fantasy VI - Finally nearing the end of my first playthrough of the GBA game. I've played it so many times on SNES and emulators that I wasn't in much of a rush to complete this one. Prepping for the extra content. I'm not levelled too high so it should provide a hell of a challenge. Looking forward to it!

Virtual Console - LoZ: Ocarina of Time has consumed most of my VC play as of late, though greats like Link to the Past, Super Mario 64, F-Zero X, and Donkey Kong Country have all had their share of play. <3 the Wii.

Pokemon Blue - I felt like booting up the old brick and playing Blue version on the ORIGINAL GameBoy. I forgot how heavy that thing was. Loved it. Absolutely loved it.


Hoshigami Remix - I'm not very far into this game as I just started it a couple days ago between shifts at work, but I'm really enjoying its INCREDIBLY unique gameplay. It's a tactical SRPG along the lines of FFT or Disgaea, but with action bars and shit... if anyone has ever played Stella Deus, it's nearly identical in terms of battle gameplay (save for the coinfeigm [magic cast via coin usage]). It's a ton of fun. If your character chooses not to move, s/he can attack multiple times in a single turn -- EXCELLENT for archers or other ranged characters. Holy freaking sweet.

Pokemon Pearl - Finally, after three weeks of not even playing, I'm en route to the Elite Four. It's about time. Jess and Nocona have been poking fun at me for being so far behind for too long now!

Pokemon Battle Revolution - It's a lot of fun... even if it is incredibly straightforward. It's straight-up battling, and nothing more. There aren't any extra minigames or any story modes. It's just battling at its best. Go head to head with your friends via your own DSes in the same room (use the DS to control the monsters, then watch the action on the TV!) or go online via WiFi and play with anyone -- friends and strangers alike. Fun times.

Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition - Do I really need to say anything here? Holycrapyes.

[Georg Prime]

Eh, looks like I'm the only one kinda slacking a bit here on the old school gaming front. I'm still feeding my hunger for Suikoden. Suikoden III and IV are down, now I'm about 20 or so odd hours into V. Judging by what I've played so far, I'd say V is my favorite out of the bunch (despite its annoying load times ), I was glad to finally get done with IV though that's for sure! And finally the return of the most badass swordsman in the Suikoden world, GEORG PRIME!

Anyhoo, excuse me for not reading everyone's posts but hooray for another Hoshigami fan. I have yet to play the new version but from what I've read, it's better than the original which I own. Speaking of Stella Deus, same guys that made Hoshigami and another strategy rpg on my list. Is it worth playing?

[LocoColt04]

I've never actually played Stella Deus -- one of my old co-workers (who now manages his own GameStop, lucky bastard) told me that Hoshigami was most like Stella Deus after I asked him what it could be compared to. He said that's really the only thing that's similar enough to compare, so... yeah.

Basically, if you like SRPGs, you'll probably like Stella Deus or Hoshigami. They're a little different from the typical tactical RPG, but the style is fun for me.

Also, you should ALWAYS take Nocona's opinion about an RPG as fact. That kid owns EVERY RPG EVER RELEASED (in America) on the PSX and PS2. Oy. I should probably pick up a copy of Stella Deus myself in the near future.



On a side note, I freaking love Georg.

[ZRO]

Holy shizzle, teh Loco returns. I thought you went and kicked the bucket on us for a bit there. @.@

Old School...eh...does SVC Chaos count? It's old-school style gaming. XD

Seriously tho, that's about it, I'm becoming the new-school gamer of the old-school religion or some crap. XD

{Welcome back.} Loco. ^^

CP:
FFXI, because those Mithra keep running in my head.

[azrafel]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still around. I'm currently playing FF12 but I really want to get FFvi:a

[Ponk]

Just a check-in... Loco, I have Pokemon Diamond now! Hit me up with your friend code so's I can add you once I get the wifi working.

[maxpower]

I recently started playing Illusions of Gaia again. I think it is a very interesting game. Usually I have a hard time with games that are done in Indiana Jones style (a.k.a. a line shows you traveling from one area to another) however this game has a great story line that seems to keep my attention. So here is a question for you all what is your favorite Enix game?

They had so many classics.
DRAGON QUEST
Soul Blazer
Star Ocean
ActRaiser
Brain Lord
E.V.O.: Search for Eden
7th Saga
and others. I think that my favorite game series they have made is Dragon Warrior but I really liked 7th Saga and Soul Blazer back in the day.

Most Dawezy-licious Pok&#233;mon code ever, if you'll note the last three digits. I found that to be highly amusing. Anywho, I can go catch a bunch of stuff to trade off to you if you want, including the Pearl-exclusives that you won't be able to get in Diamond. I'm on my way up Victory Road right now though (between work shifts and such), so I can't leave until I get to the Pok&#233;mon League... lest the whole trip be for naught.


Old School Gaming news for me? About the same as last time... more or less. Mostly Wii VC stuff, but also a touch of SNES action. Super Mario World and Final Fantasy III (*coughVI*) both got a run yesterday.

You bring a Grin to the face of Dawezy.



Not too much of an update on any real gaming fronts, I've taken FF12 out a couple times and whored on FF11 as per usual.. my neck is dry now. On the offline side I got the itch to get out the old Command & Conquer, the First Decade and start a new game on Red Alert II : Yuri's Revenge. Its oh so much fun when you send GI's over to building in cities to Garrison them, and hail bullets on paserby bad dudes. Whole heap of hi-tech shit in there ^^b pretty good game considering its mid 1990 tag.

About the same time SEGA went ass up

Too much work lately, I is tired.

[Jin]

I'm not going to be here for a while. Due to...stuff, I've decided to take a break from the internet. I may pop in on occasion, but I won't be terribly active, so don't expect much.

Cheers, mates.

Sucks to hear man, here's to wishin ya well with whatever ya get up to.

Too much work lately, I is tired.

Dawezy forgets to mention that he keeps wanting more hours due to more money.

I is....nevermind, I'm up to my old usual, too much FFXI. XD

CP:
Mithra!

[Dawezy]

Dawezy forgets to mention that he keeps wanting more hours due to more money.

Yep~

Moar hours, moar money, happy Dawezy.

But it also kicks the shit out of me, its only casual hours but damn son.. end of every shift I'm fucked up ; ; its a job that need some muscle oy. For a normal week (4 hour shift, 4 days a week) I can rake in about $300-ish which covers the rent but I asked for some more hours, so I could push the weekly income higher yet. :3 Afternoon/Evening work so its a good time-frame for me, I get to sleep in like the lazy fat bastard I am. <3


I just checked my bar-fridge now and it lacks alcohol;

This is a sin.

Bad bad sin.

Must replenish stock before Satan lurks about and notices o_o;

That's my Pokeymans friend code. I have all generation starters and can get you eggs of them. Can also breed you a hell of a lot of Eevee's for all those eeveelutions.

So yeah.

[Ponk]

Vicky, Loco. You both rock. I'll let you know once I get the wifi working.

For some reason, it refuses to work with my wireless router. I'm running through a GameFAQs guide to DS WiFi setup, and also checking the Nintendo WiFi tech support. So far, no luck... Next step, trying to update the router's firmware. Grr. Anyone have similar probs? I'd rather not fork out the excessive cash for one of those USB things just for this. Well, this and Animal Crossing I guess.

CP: Pokemon Diamond, FFXII... Considering booting up the PS1 and playing the FF1+2 remakes for a bit.

[Victoria]

Well Ponk, my wifi works with my wireless router, because I had to configure my wireless router for a WEP key or something like that. Because only certain types of wireless connections work with the DS.

Either way, it's the kind of connection where it generates a randomized passcode for you.

[Ponk]

Yeah, I've got it all configured with the WEP key and SSID and all, but it refuses to acknowledge it's even there... The Nintendo site says it's one of the routers that SHOULD work, but no luck so far. Just gotta work out how to go about updating the firmware... It hasn't worked so far

EDIT: OK, fiiiinally got the WiFi working! Here's my friend code! 4510-7684-0097 - Add it! Vicky, I'd love to grab some of those starter Pokemon if you don't mind.

[Vivi]

Hmm..>> Is it just old people checking in month or something? Thought I'd do the same as KC did..>> Im bored out of my mind after (for the second time) quitting a WoW addiction...>>

Anyways, not much happening in the old skool world.. Well with the new release of MGS4 and Starcraft II I've gone back and played the originals of both.. bout as old skool as I've played recently..
