The Old Skool Cult of Kefka, bitches!

[sarcasm]Glad you feel better there LC.[/sarcasm]:D

Anyway, Jin, another game to play if you like those uber-short RPG's. Sudeki for the Xbox. Damned good game, great frickin storyline, cute female characters with anime proportions (counts for something, doesn't it? :D ), however...be warned, and I don't feel bad about revealing this at all. The ending blows. Like uber-blows...I could've made a better ending. I've thought of several, on multiple occasions. Other than that, damned good game, despite only being about 16 or 18 hours long (if you go straight through) and only being able to level up to 30.

BTW, not having a PS2 or even working PS1 sucks to be me right now...I can't play any of my PS collection...which only spans about 35 or 40 games...including my FF's, DDR, Gran Turismo, Mega Man X series (GAHHH!!!) or anything else that isn't on Cube or Xbox...and with the comp down, I can't play my DDR emulator, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Counter-Strike, or anything else like that...this blows!!! [/rant]

Or you could go get Fable. I have no shame in spoiling this one, either, because there IS no story. Biggest waste of money Chad's dad ever knew. (Because yes, he's addicted to the XBox. That's the only way I play these days.) Seriously, you pay $50 for a really fancy way to customize a character. If you want that level of customization, get a fucking notepad and a pencil and draw something yourself.

That game got its ass handed to it in four hours. You wanna know the most glorious thing? You know how they advertise it as "every choice [having] a consequence"? BULLSHIT. All that does is determine whether or not people like you. In the end, the game comes down to a simple choice: kill your sister, or destroy the sword. If you destroy it, you get the good ending. If you kill your sister, you get the evil one.

Four hours of your life goes down the drain. I mean, shit, if they're gonna make you pay fifty bucks for a game, the least they could have done is supply you with thirty some-odd endings which are decided upon a point total at the end of the game, where the points are given/deducted based upon your actions.

You know what irks me the most? A lot of people actually love that game. Because they're motherfucking new schoolers, and it's pretty.

I know what you mean Loco, ive never played Fable but ive heard so many good reveiws =/ Bah.... damn ****ing advertising.
In other news, ive been addicted to bloody Donkey Kong for the past few weeks which is why i havn't been on here for ages xD Got DK county and what ever the second one is on SNES, finished them both so just HAD to go borrow a 64 and play DK3D or whatever it's called. I think my b/f is getting pissed off cuz im playing 64 more than im spending time with him O_O''

im gonna post this b4 my comp turns itself off.... xD Mwha lads! *glomps*

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Donkey Kong 64

...

*is a rabid monkey fan*

g'luck with that ole compy of yours. Don't let it bite you in the ass as it shuts off.

CP:
The Sims 2, still

...I need to make sure my POL account isn't suspended due to lack of payment. I dunno if the last one went through or not.

yeah, I was a bit dissapointed with fable as well. There was just not as many choices as I thought there would be. =/ Oh well, not my money lol.

and to zro: I said that I was angry at the short RPG's :p
I like my games to have some gerth to them.

I think that I'm going to return FMA, say it was broken or something. That store is retarded enough to take it. get me money back :)


edit: heh, check this out:
damn, making that felt good!

Sudeki has plenty of girth to it! Most of it's in Ailish's bra, but that's besides the point. Plus she does this really cute little digital wiggle when she runs. It's hilariously cute, and her hair bounces, for some reason that's cute too. Now if I could just find some way to get a nude code for that, that would be entirely too cute...AND WTF IS UP WITH ME AND THE CUTE THING!!! oooh, kawaii redhead...I'm okay, really...lack of net hasn't drove me insane yet....

Also, Leisure Suit Larry: Magnum Cum Laude...rent it, it's only worth buying if you feel like paying $50 for a lot of redone mini-games...over, and over, and over, and over...hilarious at points, but still only worth renting IMO.

Also, allowing one's car to go for 2 years on the same spark plugs...not a good thing. Poor car...I told it I'm sorry..multiple times...then it bit me, I wasn't so sorry after that.

Currently playing:
Avoid the police on the way home (everynight game, tends to get harder with exhaust leaks)
Probably Need For Speed Underground 2 (Xbox) again...need to have uniques all on one car...

NEED FOR SPEED UNDERGROUND 2 ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF.

I forgive you for your little digital obsession. I mean, she's a digital redhead... and redheads are just ****ing hot. Period.

And I apologize for missing your six IMs... but I was on the phone with my redhead. I'm sure you can pardon that.


Let's see... not much gaming lately. Lots of going to the doctor and finding out I might have mono. Blood test results should be in soon, like Wednesday or Thursday. Wait, I guess it already is Wednesday. Oh well, whatever.


Currently Playing:
I'm about to check to make sure my POL isn't cancelled...
...and then I'm gonna sleep.

Juicy! *glomps* ummmwhat else..Zro...your a wussy pally wearing girly headgear...however this is nothing new to anyone so i'll just leave it at that heh


Still Playing:
Mia Staci ^^;
CP:
lotta PS games with the one above...GT3 amongst them
:ban:
PS. Fookin Eagles!! Nice work jackmongers!!!!
>.>
<.<
>.<!!!

Actually, the redhead wasn't digital...well, the shots of her I have are, but she's not...as to missing the IM's due to redhead issues, perfectly understandable, I'd tell AIM to fook off as well if I had a redheaded g/f. :D

And Ailish isn't a redhead, she's a...bluie? bluish? bluenette? In any case, blue hair, definitely blue hair. *goes to find piccies to attach*

:D

Haha, okay, I didn't know... you gotta forgive me for that one.

*whistles*

Not only is that list damn impressive, but those images are, too. ^_^;;

*is now curious about this redhead of yours*

My FFXI is still online. That makes me happy.
Now, I just have to get money in the bank before March.


lalalalala, boredom blows. I'm watching good TV though, so gaming comes later.

Gotta a little something here for the Dawezmeister, care of my babydoll, I know this will make your day mate heh :

Why Beer Is Better Than Jezus:

1. No one will burn you in Hell for not drinking.
2. Beer doesn't tell you how to have sex.
3. Beer has never caused a major war.
4. Parent's don't force beer on underage minors who can't yet think for themselves.
5. When you have beer, you don't knock on people's doors trying to give it away.
6. Nobody's ever been burned alive , skinned or tortured over their brand of beer.
7. You don't have to wait more than 2, 000 years for a second beer.
8. There are laws saying beer labels can't lie to you.
9. You can at least prove you have a beer.
10. If you're addicted to beer, there are groups to help you stop.


:D



That is all...maybe..MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

:spam:
:ban:

XD scorp, that just made my day.

ack, I've been sick with the flu for the last 3 days, I feel like shit....and I don't need any smart ass comments following that. :p Dawezy, that is quite an impressive list you have there. And Zro, those pics own :)

so just checking in so y'know Im not dead...or computerless....heh

currently playing:
nothing, too sick ><

edit: and seeing as how posting pics of red heads seems to be all the rage now:
go shadow hearts!

okay okay, so ive been here at tff for two weeks now maybe? i know i dont have many posts and i havent actually gotten into many of the places in the forums but i saw this and knew i had to ask to join. i promise ill be good, or bad, or whatever you want. ill follow all the rules anyway, if thats all i really need to do.

kefka kicks ass, and i know i might not be a true 'old skooler' like you guys are, but i really love the older games. i started with the newer ones, but i started playing some of the early ones and there just a lot different (i think better, most of them anyway).

in case you guys dont care if i post here, ill go ahead and post on the topic. that list on all of the systems is really impressive. i dont know too much about the insides of them, but its amazing how some of the old ones ran on little processors like that, and with as much as some companies put into the games... its just impressive dont you think?


oh and my currently playing is super mario world on the SNES.

Go here kids, you may learn something... :D

Actually, yeah, click on the link.. I was originally going to post it up in this thread, but It has so much potential that I decieded to make its own foundation.. booyah, Its a Videogaming History Timeline, may learn something you never knew about. ;) I have also done something that would make psiko proud, I whipped out my old copy of Baldur's Gate -> which is a D&D Based game, and im loving every minute of it. Booyah! Made myself (typical of me) a Neutral Evil Fighter, which IMO would be straight down the line that Cecil drove when he was a Dark Knight. If you read up on the Alignment descriptions its actually quire interesting.


EDIT: Oh, and that list damn well rocks, couldn't have said it better myself. Goto Humor -> Beer vs Vagina, lmao.

Hey ya'll... it's your lil Vixens' Birthday today so shes getting quite pissed and having alot of fun. dats for sure.Havin a masive party tonight, with all my bros and bitches and ALOT of BEER! wish you could all be here... really, that would be such a thrill =o)
*think how not to make this spam*

ah **** it. SPAM SPAM SPAM! im drunk and its my borthday so i'll cry if i want to! lmao *glomps*

YOUR STUPID ****ING MSN BUGGED ME!!! But I purged the virus. Stupid little worms are NOTHING COMPARED TO THE AWESOME POWER OF T3H COLT!!!


Anywho, happy birthday to you. Mine's the 16th. Tomorrow for you, sure, but it'll be a lot longer than that for me. It's only 12:45 in the morning on the 15th. :P

The timeline is my new hero, Dawes. Funny thing... I actually already knew a lot of that. Go me and my random knowledge. >_>;;


Currently Playing:
NCAA Football 2003 (Gamecube)



edit:
Shit, know what I just noticed? A new member. Everyone welcome tidus blows... because with a name like that, he's automatically in. XD

omg, happy birthday vixey! have an uber awesome time. And happy birthday to you as well Loco.

Dawes man, that list was awesome. I actually did learn some things lol. I actually didn't think that video games went back that far. And for the record everyone: Intellivision pwns all, end of story. :p

Oh, and welcome in Tidus Blows, a good name indeed XD

Currently playing:
Nothing!!!!!!111 I need a game bad!

Well, tomorrow's my 19th, and I got an email from EAGames for $15 off any online purchases since it's my birthday and whatnot. I just spent $43 on Need For Speed Underground 2 because the little bit of it I played, I loved. The game was $49.99 with $5.99 S&H... gotta love those discounts. WHOOOO!!

Anywho, that should be here around Saturday... or Tuesday. Monday's a holiday. President's Day, I believe.

So that'll be my CP for a while when this weekend rolls around.

Right now? It's gonna be some Baten Kaitos in a little while. ^_^

All of these birthdays at once, damn.

If you *DIDNT* have any alcohol, or get laid, Loco. I'll have your head on a platter. :D Gotta go nuts on those days man XD and hmm.. your $$$'s have sparked me to maybe purchase a new game sometime soon but what excatly? GTA:SA? That game has uber swearing so I may just take a stab at it yet, I've only had about 6 hours worth at a friends house. Hehe, loved the swearing.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem...... OMFGBBQUROCK!111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

I mean, that's what a survival horro should be about. That's a helluvah strong game.

HB in advance(and in lateness XD) to all of j00

Way to be drunk

Ya know, I've never been drunk once, even on the occasions when I've actually drank. Chalk it up to preferring to remember what I can, since I usually can't remember what I want to anyway. XD

Currently playing:
Avoid the cops on the way home (still an every night deal...damned car's loud as hell. >.< )
NFSU2 (taking my time :P)
Jedi Knight:Jedi Academy (for about the third time, went staff saber instead of duals this time)
Virtual Boy (Because I've got an urge to stick my face in the red lights and watch Peach run around in a tennis skirt.)

:s-sayian: <---Fear the Vegeta hair!!!

WORD. I've never been drunk either. But I blame that on my incredibly high alcohol tolerance. I mean, if I can drink a gallon of tequila in one sitting and not be phased...

Anyway, I also prefer remembering things in the morning.

Like you, I too shall be consumed by NFSU2 very soon. Until then, I'm still jamming on Baten Kaitos, and FFXI as well.

I'm starting to think that i don't have a liver. I mean, i can take up to 30 or 33 beers and still be sane enough to0 do 7 backflips. But over the years, i've found my way around killing breverages that allowed me to get drunk with them. Although right now i'm addicted to vodka, i can drink two ltrs by myself of pure Finland without even babbling any stupid(after the two ltrs i do get drunk); i just wanna go to russia and be able to compete with the people there ^_^

Also, as my pal Cesar i've ingested insane amounts of Tequila and haven't noticed any side effects. But vodka just manages to kill me during the third bottle, i remember that last december 30th, i was completely wasted after drinking around four bottles ofg vodka among with some coworkers in the office(they can drink even more than me), and I sat on the PC and started to chat in AIM completely drunk, and drank another bottle all by myself while talking to Ally, ED and Kupomogli.

Then i passed out ;D

Currently playing:
"I'm such a fraking INFORMIX psycho" on my pc :D

Hello, my children. Remember me?

YEAH-HUH. KC IS BACK AND FOR SERIOUS THIS TIME.

Okay, I know I've been gone a decent amount of time, so some of you might not know me. I was the founder of the Kefka Cult - I was originally known as Kefka Cultist.

*notices member list on thread's first page* I'm first on the list? RAWK.

Anyway. I spoke to LocoColt on AIM a moment ago, which prompted a wave of nostalgia strong enough to bring me back here. Thank the gods my account still exists, eh? Anyways, you may be wondering what I've been doing in my absence from these fair shores.

Well... (and forgive me if I screw up the board code, I'm out of practice) I mostly left because I needed to focus on finishing my last year of high school. Needless to say that's been and gone now, and I start university in just one short week. I'm studying Graphic Design, FYI.

Most of my online attentions have been focused on my art... You may remember I thought my self quite the artist when I was here. Nowadays my art is amazingly better, so if I was good then, I'm a friggin' master now. You can find my deviantART account, where I post it all, here.

The other focus is my LiveJournal. Yes, I'm an LJ bitch. Mostly it's just for blathering about my life and stuff. You find it here.

What else... Ah. Somebody let me know who of the old gang are still around! I wanna know. I know Loco and Dawezy should be. Daur, Sir Blank, and all you others? Where ya gotten to?

OK, that about wraps it up. But I have to say, going through and updating my profile stuff made me realise I've changed a fair chunk... High school has turned me bitter and hateful. I should fit in just fine, right? :D

- Matt

:D :D :D

Yes, I'm spamming up my own joint. You got a problem with it? I convinced KC to post again. That should be more than enough to make you happy, Dawes. w00t.

Hmm, as far as the old-timers... I haven't seen much out of Sir Blank, but Dau graces the club with his presence once in a while. Scorp also posts (quite often compared to the other oldies) as does Arkaine Ultimus. Or, well, I think he disappeared again. Whatev.

Good to see you're not dead. I was sincerely worried about you for a while. People who just disappear off the face of the earth make me sad.

Speaking of which... Psiko hasn't so much as logged in since the third of this month, and he used to LIVE on the internet. I'm a bit worried about him, too. *sigh*


Currently Playing:
NFSU2 (yeah ZRO, it came on Thursday instead of Saturday. I've already put in nine hours.)

XD

Glad I'm welcome! Heheh. Good to see Dau and Dawezy are still here, especially. But it's good to know all you guys survived, really!

Just been flicking through the start of this thread...
DAU! I'd love for you to post up that RP from the Cult. If aynone else has logs of old stuff I'd love to see those too!

I'm noticing from old posts you all missed me... Awww. I love you guys. :D

So, um. Yeah. Good to be back.

- Matt

Currently playing: (as this seems to be the thing to do here)
EarthBound, SNES

Well...Arkaine would probably be around more...if he could remember to be. Scorp posts when he's not...ummm...busy? XD

And me now, wait, nevermind, I'm not an oldbie, I don't count. XD

And I'm definitely spamming...yep. Well to hell with it, if you're gonna screw something up, screw it up good I say!

Also, LC, I know what you mean about people who used to live on the net and suddenly don't show up. Kinda sorta what happened with Scorp between my on and off times. I got stuck offline, and then when I come back, he's like never around anymore. XD Then again, I dropped off the face of the earth to everyone else, so I'll just shut up now.



edit by LC to avoid even more spam posts:
Well, Scorp's also got his lady friend that he's shagging these days... ;) And I'm disappointed in you; you didn't say anything about how addictive NFSU2 can be!!!!!! Grr.

Well boys (and to my knowledge, girl), here's what's happening.

I plan on drawing us up a banner. Yes, drawing. I'm not saying it'll work or anything, but I'll try. So when you make your posts welcoming me back with open arms and joyful tears (ego much?) please also include a fairly detailed description of what your persona would look like. I'd prefer you not just say "dark night recolour" (not mentioning any names :P) but if you really are deadset on a sprite base, give me a detailed description of their colouring, skin/hair/eye colour, clothing, etc. That's what I need to make this work. kthx. Oh, I'm not limiting this to the "oldbies", as ZRO calls us. Everybody join in.

In other news, I'm listed as Founder of the original cult, neh? Which theoretically gives me one-third ownership of the club, with Vivi and Loco. As I haven't heard from Vivi, I hereby claim his third of the club ownership! that leaves me an' Loco at 2:1 ownership ratio. Therefore, I forcefully claim his third, making me grand overlord of this thread and all its inhabitants! Bow to me, minions! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

And yes, I've stayed totally sane duing my absence. :|

Now, let's see if you can turn this into a drawing.
Because that would kick ass.

Name: Vincent Cooper
Age: 31
Race: Human
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 203 lbs.
Eyes: Light blue-grey
Hair: Short and black

Clothing:
Upper Body: What used to be a longsleeved black shirt, but the right sleeve has been torn completely at the shoulder
Lower Body: Loose black pants that have been cut at the knees, and high black boots which stop below his knees

Armor: A vest of six-in-one chain mail, silver, of course.


Main Class: Weather Mage
Vincent can essentially "control" the weather. Though he has his limits, thunderstorms and blizzards are commonplace when he wishes their existance. He can even control the lightning itself, centering it within ten yards of his target. Rain, wind and temperature are also under his control.

Sub Class: Dragoon
The ever-famous lance class. He's got great agility, seconded by his equally impressive strength.


Weaponry: Erm, lance? It doesn't need a name.
Vincent carries with him a six foot lance, complete with a 4.5 foot titanium shaft (great for smacking people around like a staff) and an eighteen inch steel blade, slightly curved and sharp only on one side (and we all know what that's good for).

Magic: I think the Weather Mage covered it

My only request is lots of long, flowing lines. I'm talking flowy like the Sephiroth character model... but not nearly that ridiculously stupid. Lots of black, so each article of clothing should really stand out from the next; things like varying shades of black could help. Also, little things, like loose threads where the clothing has been ripped, and give him a little muscle mass on that exposed arm, eh? ;)

Oh yes, and that chain mail of his is actually on top of his shirt, so that can also help define the torso and the waist, keeping them from blending too much with the legs.


edit: Heh, just for reference...

Kid Emo says:
how short hair are we talking, less than an inch, or just "not shoulder length"?
Cesar says:
We're talking like an inch or so, like an army cut but not that rigid
Cesar says:
Not really spiked, but just sorta tossed around atop his head
Kid Emo says:
ah, ok. Never done short hair but I'll try.
Cesar says:
You're free to add a bit more length to it if it makes it easier to draw
Kid Emo says:
I'll see how it goes.
Cesar says:
Perhaps you should make note in the thread that the characters will be drawn up in the same style as your avatar, so people know what they're in for
Cesar says:
And aside from what I've mentioned, you've pretty much got free reign with the character design from there
Cesar says:
Oh yeah, and skin color is just a touch darker than that of the guy in your avy

...in case you need to see it again, that is.
