The Old Skool Cult of Kefka, bitches!

[Locke4God]

First off, I'm a big fan of the old school games. I love the new ones, but VI, IV, the original, are big time favorites of mine.

Now my qualifications for evilness include a fun past time a few close friends and I share where we get together and go down to a local tanning salon to alter their backlit sign. We spend an hour reorganizing the letters, so that instead of offering a buy one get one spa package, the salon suddenly forbids black people, or offers free anal sodomy for it's clients. I'll get you the exact quotes if you like. It's a fantastic time, and I highly recommend it. We hope to graduate to church signs soon.

I also enjoy some mild mistreatment of women. Not sure how graphic you like this, but I had a girl for a bit who thought she'd start to be controlling in the bedroom. She'd finish herself up and then look at me and tell me she was through as though that was just it, but after a time or two of this I grabbed her by the hair and proceeded to do some things she wasn't exactly comfortable with. Nothing too bad, but permission was not granted nor asked for.

I've also cheated on just one girl, and it was a girl who was absolutely in love with me. You see it was a long distance relationship, and she lived 4 hours away. Meanwhile I was in college and lived a few blocks away from a previous girlfriend who I'd always wanted one more shot at. For some reason my roomates liked watching porn with a group of people, and she was over one night. About 3 scenes in she drug me to the bedroom, and I wasn't passing this up. This went on for sometime after that. Quite frequently I'd sleep with my ex in the morning, she'd leave, my long distance girl would show up to spend the weekend and I'd sleep with her that night. Sometimes just a couple hours apart, and I didn't bother to shower in between. I thought it was hotter that way and definately evil. Good times.

Lastly I do enjoy watching horror. Saw, the original Chainsaw Massacre. Vampire novels thrill me. Death as a story focal point is, when they really get down and focus on the emotion of it, is quite facinating. Like the Joker said in the dark knight, if it's too quick, "you can't savor all of those little emotions." Wow that's evil.

So what do you say? Can I join?

[Jin]

God I hope not.

This isn't the Brotherhood of Doom; you spent way too much effort on the evil thing and it makes you come off rather ridiculous. Plus you almost completely ignored the important point: old school gaming. 90% of the people on this forum enjoy old Final Fantasy games, it's a Final Fantasy forum. You have to demonstrate appreciation and familiarity with old school games outside of that series to belong here.

I vote no, but this isn't a democracy, so you'll have to wait for either Cesar or Dawezy to make the decision (an affirmative decision likely resulting in a test).

Considering my DS collection is kinda pitiful, not too many, tho Need for Speed: Pro Street was pretty close to first gen PS2 graphics.

The DS is barely capable of PS1 graphics. It'd have to be a PSP title for that kind of remake and even then, it won't be to the level of FF12 (or FF10 for that matter). But I hear you. Remakes done well can be awesome. Everyone's allowed to be a graphics whore once in a while.

And you do whatever you have to to get clean of WoW. We're all pulling for you. I miss my Bisho Bot.

[Locke4God]

@ Jin - Well I wasn't lying, and the mission statement included torrid sexual affairs as qualifications, so that's why I included them.

But hey, I genuinely love the old school games. It's close between VI and IV for me.

Kain may actually be my favorite character there due to his use as both a villian and hero throughout the game. He was powerful and actually my favorite of any Dragoon character, including Cid in VII and Freya in IX.

Cecil however is absolutely my favorite lead character. I love the epic nature of his quest and the destiny he has to achieve. No other lead character really matches the destiny that Cecil has of becoming a Paladin and fully redeeming himself. That was my favorite moment of the game, journeying into the moutain where he met the image of his father, and the next 10 hours of game play to relevel him up were fantastic.

Rydia likewise is an outstanding character. I don't think there's been anything other to match her. I felt very badly for her after she fell overboard fighting leviathon, and I didn't think she'd actually return. When she did it was this weird moment where I barely recognized her, and I thought at the time that would be exactly how I felt had I been there.

Polam and Porom's sacrafice while turning to stone to allow the others to escape was FF at it's best. It was mirrored later in 9 as they escaped the haunted forest, but that was an all time classic moment.

VI had many great spots as well. I think the gameplay is so unique that one. Obviously the characters are great, but the areas where they force you split up such as after meeting with the resistance and fleeing on the river, and again while entering Kefka's tower. Those are just great moments and I feel the best use of the entire party in any game. A game like that could wear you down with such a large cast, but in doing it the way they did, it really allows you to explore each character. That has never been matched in the modern genre. 7 comes the closest, but both 4 and 6 are vastly superior character games. Another example is during the opening scenes in the World of Ruin. You wake up as Celes and spend hours finding your party over again, one at a time. You always maintain the freedom to explore the world as you see fit and you really have to ask questions and find clues to determine who, where, and how you go about rescuing the rest of your party. And the option to save Spider or let him die is phenomenal. His backstory with Relm was my favorite, because it was deep, merely alluded to, and completely optional.

Kefka of course, was a brutal bastard. I loved it.

So I love the old school games. I laugh at evil deeds. I love the sprite characters and 16 bit graphics. I enjoy being devious. I love midi file music. I get excited at the opportunity to do something wrong. I am the ideal candidate for acceptance in this group.

Should I not be admited. I will burn your group down!! :-)

[Dawezy]

Run along Locke4God~

I think you would find the BoD better suited, albeit from their lack of discussion in direct regards to old-school and gaming in general.

Nothin personal bro :3




Hey Jin, been a while since I asked since its kinda passed me by (chances are the memory has been erased by alcohol) - what was it that made ye dislike Elder Scrolls 4 : Oblivion? I played a fair share of Elder Scrolls 3 at the same time as purchasing the GotY pack with a few titles on the same DVD. They really dont share the same groove and Oblivion looks so much moar pretty o_o

In more recent news, work has been fricken brutal over the last few weeks but I have been given a few days off, so I'm lapping it up since I restocked my Dr Pepper / Beer / Rum / Doritos supplies. Wouldnt surprise me if I put on some weight after this lazefest lol, over the last few days tho I have been in peril!

Share you thoughts dear sirs;

This new computer setup I purchase purrs like a sexy beast, uber fast, no games lag anymore - but I stumbled upon a small hiccup, tho it has no direct implication on my computer in general its a mf'in pain to try figure out. You are all aware of regional coding for dvds yeah? all the stuff in Australia is "Region 4 / PAL" as opposed to the US "Region 1 / NTSC" business.. NOW! Windows grants you limited options to temporarily change the region codes to be able to play other stuff, so in order to play a few movies I got (Postal, being the main attraction) I changed the Region over to 1.. played fine, so I left it on Region 1 and it has been the same for about 2~3 weeks now. But only last night, I had the itch to toss in another DVD and watch it (Watchmen, go grab a copy its a awesome flick) so I changed the Region back to 4 since it was a local DVD.

...it doesnt play.

It like, loads up for about a second and bam, stops loading entirely.

So I grabbed the old DVD from my other computer, I have consistantly changed the region on that old thing with no errors - set it to Region 4 to play Watchmen.

...doesnt play.

Wtf.

Now I dont mind spending a bit of cash to get a shiney new DVD drive, but the point is that I *shouldnt* have to - you guys had any sort of simular issues? I've read up on it all and its encoded at a hardware level so I cant tinker with any software to try make a difference.

/sigh

CP: Hentai, too much of it.

Oh.. and FFXI.

[Locke4God]

Dawezy - Hey thanks for the reply, and I appreciate the consideration. In one last appeal and then I'll leave, but I wrote the first request because I genuinely thought you were interested in talking about some questionable activity. It's cool if that's not the deal, and that's why I wrote the second appeal, and I think I'm better than averagely versed in most of the old school games. If you still say no however, I'm down, but I would request a slightly more detailed response as to why I may be disqualified.

PS: I'm an orphaned half Cherokee Indian, half black, half Cuban lezbian woman, an illegal immigrant with several debilitating conditions who works part time at a minimum wage job with no benefits and takes care of 5 illegitimate children as a single mother with no high school education who grew up in a disadvantaged home surving on food stamps, and I will sue you for discrimination if you don't let me in.

JK! :-)

Hey, the DS is a LITTLE better than that. Not by very damned much admittedly, but hey, whatever works. XD But meh, I wouldn't count on that kind of graphics on any portable system really, cuz hell, if you're REALLY gonna prettify a game, you aren't gonna bother with portable limitations...which is a funny phrase now that I think about it.

But meh, I'm almost out of classes to level on WoW, got 7 of the 10 up to current max level. XD

Itching to play through ALL the Mega Man games tho for some reason...

...one last appeal and then I'll leave...

Hey Jin, been a while since I asked since its kinda passed me by (chances are the memory has been erased by alcohol) - what was it that made ye dislike Elder Scrolls 4 : Oblivion?

I don't dislike Oblivion. Hell, I put 40-60 hours into it despite my PC's attempts to make it difficult. I just liked Morrowind a lot better. Oblivion is pretty from a technical standpoint, I'll give you that, but I found the world boring. Everything looked the same. With the exceptions of there being snow in the north and swamps in the very south east corner, everything looked exactly the same. In Morrowind, just by looking at the topography and the flora/fauna, I could tell exactly which region I was in.

Also, there is less customization in Oblivion. In Morrowind, you bought each piece of armour individually. Shoulders, body, legs, feet, arms, head, etc. This allowed you to mix and match different pieces to make some truly awesome looking characters. A friend of mine made an Orc Berserker using a different piece of armour for each body part and he looked fantastic. In Oblivion, all you do is buy a suit of armour. Also, armour was more balanced in Morrowind. It was possible to go through the game with the earliest armour you find because although it was worse than later, better forms of armour, it wasn't to the point where you had to change if you wanted to survive. In Oblivion, you immediately know what armour you're going to end with based on whether you choose light or heavy armour (and where's the medium armour in Oblivion?) because you have to progressively get improved armour to survive. If a weaker form of armour tickles your aesthetic fancy, too bad. Also, why no unarmoured ability? What if I want to make a monk that doesn't wear armour? I'm screwed.

Furthermore, there was just a lot more to do in Morrowind. You could join the standard Fighters', Mages' and Theifs' guild, but there were also a whole slew of other factions to join. The Temple, the Imperial Cult, the Morag Tong, House Hlaalu, House Redoran, House Telvaani, etc, etc.

And no spears! Wtf?! I like spears!

So in summary, I don't dislike Oblivion. I just think it was a step back, from a design perspective. /essay

As for your region problem, I really don't know what to say. Sounds odd. If it happened even on a drive you know works properly it leads me to believe there's something wrong with the disk, but I couldn't even speculate as to what.

[GRIM REAPER]

I have good news!

I went out and bought several 360 games!

Now the bad news!

One hour into Dead Space I get the the RED RING OF DEATH!

So I had a choice of shipping it in for repairs or get a new one. I chose a new one but not any new system. I orderd the limited edition Modern Warfare 2 Console. The case is custom, 2 black controllers and a 250 gig HD. Sure beats my old system with the 20 gig. Now with this purchase Im poor again.

ZRO you finally started on the sequal to your megaman fic? What hs it been two years now since you finished it. Now I need to go back and reread the thing. Good luck on writting the sequal.

Have you guys notice the influx of video game movies that have been announced? Resident Evil, Prince of Persia, Bioshock, Gears of War, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, King of Fighters, Tomb Raider etc etc etc. These ones have been announced and are in production. I have had enough of bad video game movies, Silent Hill was atleast decent.

Now, if you'd like to join, you've gotta be partially evil. Whether it's your sense of humor, your sex life, or those three teenage girls you killed last week, you've got to be twisted in some way or another. And if we decide to be cruel and decline your application, don't bother us.

It's called sarcasm/a joke. Not to be taken literally. The obvious way to join is to have a love for old school gaming besides the Final Fantasy franchise. Heh.

But yeah... wow. What an asshole. It also clearly states not to post anymore once declined, and you keep posting anyway. Mind not doing so anymore? You're not getting in.

Sucks about your 360, Grim. Also sucks about the region thing, Dawez. I've never had that problem, as I don't really mess with different regions.

I don't watch many movies at all.

In any case, I've read recent posts and any opinions I have to give regarding all of your current events have already been stated by others, so I don't really see the point in reiterating such things. That said...

Dawezy, there's a Play'N'Trade across the street from my GameStop that has two cartridges of SNES US FFII... I'm thinking of picking one up, especially since it's only $25. Super freaking cheap, and it's the only cartridge I'm missing.

[Cain Highwind]

Yep, I'm still around. Been too busy finding stuff to do. Wait! DOES that make sense? Who cares?

I'm slowly whittling down my backlog of games. I'll buy a couple of cheap discounted games, but then focus on a big new title. SO instead of just doing a CP, I'll show what I'm working on AND what I have yet to play.

PS2
Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal (3rd Game in the series)
Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves

PS3
Lost Planet
Uncharted 2
Birds of Prey

Wii
Okami
Dragon Quest Swords
MP3: Corruption (part of MP Trilogy, already beat 1 and 2)
Zack and Wiki
RE4
DragonBlade
Escape from Bug Island
The Godfather
FFIV TAY

DS
Scribblenauts
Dragon Quest 4
Professor Layton and the Curious Village
The World Ends with You

Okay of those. I'm borrowing Birds of Prey (PS3) from a coworker. I just now finished his copy of Ultimate Alliance 2, so I'd like to finish BoP and get that back to him ASAP. I'm also holding out on playing Uncharted 2 because I'm getting a new HDTV in a couple weeks and I'd really like UC2 to be one of my first gaming experiences on it (I've dabbled into the MP already though).

I'm currently playing Scribblenauts during Lunch Breaks at work (not a big Handheld gamer otherwise)

I have no idea what the hell kind of games Dragon Blade and Escape from Bug Island are. I got them from another coworker whose basically "Given Up" on the Wii completely.

I've played through bits of Godfather and FFIV TAY, but those games just seem to bore me after playing them a while.

So any game from that list I should start ASAP? Beating Metroid Prime 2 and Sly 2 was a blast, those games were fun and exciting to play, some of these other games I play feel like lukewarm, kinda enjoyable "chores"

[LocoColt04]

OKAMI.

Seriously, of everything on your list of Wii stuff (MP3 aside), it is easily the best thing there. Zack and Wiki is also an excellent title; it's like an old point-and-click adventure game, and it's fantastic.

The World Ends With You is definitely worthwhile, and as you probably already know, DQIV is generally accepted as the best in the series. Actually, there's nothing on your DS list that I'd say not to play, because all four games are amazing. Just stick with Scribblenauts for now and then decide whether you're in the mood for an RPG or puzzle game when you're done with it.

The Wii version of Resident Evil 4 has the quality of the GC version with the extra content from the PS2 version... and it's surprisingly fluid to play. Yes, it has waggle controls, but they work really well. The Wii version is definitely the best of the three consoles they released it on. Oddly enough, I also played The Godfather on the Wii and found it to be quite enjoyable. More fun to play than the 360/PS3 versions, honestly, even if it doesn't look quite as pretty.

I realize that The After Years is slow starting out, but it's actually pretty good overall. If it feels like a chore, just do it in small doses until the story and gameplay pick up.

You already made all relevant commentary regarding your PS3 choices. As for PS2, keep going with the Ratchet series. It's an excellent series (you could probably skip Deadlocked though), and you will DEFINITELY want to play the two on the PS3.

[Victoria]

Haha.. I wouldn't really call myself an asshole, as it's part of the club rules that you can't post in a club if you're not a member. I could have worded it better, but at least I wasn't really vulgar about it.

I just picked up Dragon Age for the PS3 along with its strat guide. I created a character and picked the City Elf storyline. Playing as a Rogue.

Take a snap of it in action too, on here or Facebook. I'd be tempted to say, grab that second one and mail it over.. BUT.. I ney has a actual SNES console to call my own so it'd be a silly idea ^^;

It'll have to wait until the next payday. I've got $35 until next Friday. I split my paychecks into bill-check and free-check. Guess which one last week's was.

You're in for a treat.

I wish that I had more old school news to share, but it's so hard to do so in the midst of gaming season when all the awesome, new games are coming out. The closest I can even come at the moment is to express my absolute anticipation for the God of War collection later this month. While it's by no means old school, it's older...I guess. At any rate, the HD remastering looks amazing and I can't wait to add inches to my e-penis with the trophy support.

Other than that, the next game I'm looking forward to is Assassin's Creed 2. I wasn't a huge fan of the first one, but the second one looks amazing. You can hit a guy in the nads with a hammer. Sold!

As for right now, when I'm able to get away from university work, I'm continuing towards 100% completion in Uncharted 2. All I need is to beat it on crushing and I'm done. Woot for me. Also, I tried out the demo for Trine and it was pretty awesome. I'm not sure I want to spend $20 on it, given the slew of games about to come out, but I'll certainly pick it up at some point down the road.

Cesar is dating Corey from ScrewAttack. I saw it with my own two eyes.


So I caved and bought Trine. It's really fun though, so hurrah. I can see it getting a bit repetitive after a while, but regardless, it's one of the better 2D platformers I've played in a long while. I recommend it to all, be it through PSN or Steam. It's not Shadow Complex good by any stretch, but good all the same.

I totally forgot about this thread. Whooops! Who's here still?

I am currently trying my ass out at Halo 3. I suck and hate FPS'ers so this will be interesting. My guy is dancing around the condo though, he's got lots of high hopes of us co-op'ing.

And Tiff, most of us are still here, but try getting us to post more than once a month, har har.

Assassin's Creed 2 is awesome. The first one was lame, but they really improved it this time around. Oh and God of War 1 and 2 look great in HD, though I don't understand why the cut scenes weren't rendered in HD. Ah well.

So yeah, I been clockin alot of time into my SEGA Saturn in recent times and this arrived on Monday;

http://www.dawezy.com/photos/000_0787.jpg

And my Pro Action Replay cart arrived also for the console on Tuesday.

Been intending on re-writing a stash of Saturn ISO's I been downloading recently but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong - got all the proper programs and I been following instructions of several guides, but no good. With the PAR in it recognizes that its a Saturn game but it wont boot them up.. and all the .cue files I make dont help either (like a 1 byte file that makes the console recognize what region the disc is.) so I'm scratching my head..

Nethertheless! I have quite a few titles at my disposal, Virtual-On is kicking my ass past the 3rd level even on Easy lol >_<. Thinking I should go grab (legitimate) copies of either AITD2 [Alone in the Dark : One-eyed Jacks Revenge] or D since I'm a fan of the survival horror business. Dig the old Silent Hill but thats a Sony onry deal.

Anyone else been going about the iso writing business in the past? and may be able to shed some light for the Dawezy?

Also in the realms of lol, I'd like to present you gentlemen (and ladies ^^) with this little bug;
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/0...s-jumping-bug/
With all the negative FF13 feedback its almost got me re-considering buying a PS3 - but then again its an option due to its Blu ray playing.. does both DVD and Blu ray right?

CP: MechWarrior 2 - Arcade Combat Edition, FFXI, and a few of the other games in that photo up top lol.

EDIT: Also on a sad note, my usual hentai site just had to close down.. due to lack of donations or somesuch T_T

[Jin]

Is it just me or are half the people here playing their next gens more than their old skool?

It's not just you. There's just been a lot of good stuff coming out lately. You know I'm for the old school, but not at the exclusion of that which is new. I'm not Psiko.

Dawezy: That is a freaking sweet haul. I've been looking to up my Saturn collection (it currently stands at a measly 7 games, 2 of which are Japanese), but all the ones I want are retardely expensive. I already paid over $120 for Shining Force 3 and $100 for Dragonforce, but I can't justify paying the $200+ it would cost for a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Regarding ISO burning, I don't know much, but I have made some for my Sega CD. It could be completely different for Saturn, because the Sega CD reads burned CDs fine, but the process I've used in the past starts out with using a program like Winlame to convert all the MP3 files to Wav files (I don't think this actually has to be done though). Then I use CD Mage...though I can't remember what for xD. I haven't done it in ages; I think it compresses or decompresses the files or something. At any rate, after that, I use Sega Cue maker to make a cue file and then use Nero Burning Rom to burn. I wish I could be more specific and explanatory, but honestly I haven't done it in over 6 months and was only following online instructions to begin with. I never really understood the process.

PS3 plays Blu-ray and DVDs, aye.

What site closed?

[Dawezy]

Now that ye mention it, there was a copy of Shining Wisdom up about a week ago - Buy It Now price of around $99 or so, extra $10~ for shipping, was tempted but I also have the ISO I can download and attempt to write. I like to save money where I can aye

Oh shit! hey, with the PAR I can play imports now cant I~ time to head over to ebay.com instead of ebay.com.au lol. Means I'll have to re-supply my Paypal account some, has about $100 or so left in it. Well alternatively there is a chain of stores down here that focus most of their stock on the old stuff goes by the name of "Game Traders" tho the closest store is some distance from me..

Ah well.

HentaiPalm was my usual forum I cruised by to grab random imagery, thankfully Masterbloodfer and FAKKU are up and will likely stay where they are. :3

I'll figure this shit out yet!

[Jin]

HentaiPalm seems to be working for me. >.>

hey, with the PAR I can play imports now cant I

Indeed you can, though if it's anything like mine, it isn't recognized by the Saturn as a legitimate storage device and everything has to be transferred to it manually.

[LocoColt04]

I'm not Psiko.

{Sic} {Burn}

PS3 plays Blu-ray and DVDs, aye.

Despite this, though the PS3 is region-free for games, it IS region-locked for DVD and Blu-Ray media. Just as a heads up if anyone was curious.

Now that ye mention it, there was a copy of Shining Wisdom up about a week ago - Buy It Now price of around $99 or so, extra $10~ for shipping, was tempted but I also have the ISO I can download and attempt to write.

Wow. Just feels like a lot of money, I suppose.

Oh, that reminds me, I never did show you the acquisition I told you about... nevermind the quality, I can't find the transfer cable for my camera, so I had to use my phone.

Is it just me or are half the people here playing their next gens more than their old skool?

Even some of the better games out now are overshadowed by older titles, sometimes from the same developer.

CP: GP2X Wiz - Secret of the Stars (SNES)
Final Fantasy III (SNES)
Phantasy Star IV (Genesis)
Super Star Wars (SNES)
Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World (SNES)
PC - Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal

Now Loco, if you'd posted a pic of the good old cartridge of Secret of Mana, I'd have been more impressed, but I still have my old FFII and FFIII carts. But then, I have this horrible horrible pack-cat mentality, so I never sell off anything (most places won't pay near enough for'em anyway, so to quote Korn, **** that). Tho, finding one intact now days IS a bit of a feat in itself, so still, kudos. o_o;

As to me, I've (sorta) been old-schooling....as long as playing anything not current-gen counts as old school. Got knocked offline for a few days due to computer issues, so was playing Twilight Princess and Ninja Gaiden (original Xbox version). XD
