The Old Skool Cult of Kefka, bitches!

[cheesevixen]

Hahahahaha! I'm back everyone. And to think, I forgot all about posting in here until Dawezy mentioned it! I would've gotten here eventually, but I was only down to the FF Classics forums, so it would have been a while yet...

Anywho, I'll lurk and plunge into the topics at hand soon, but before I do I'll leave you with this:

Currently Playing: Super Mario 64

Well welcome to the club then bud!. I am abit of a noob here, btu I think everyone can forgive me just this once. Nice ta meet ya

CP:Mortal Kombat
Funny how I onl revolve around a few games these days. I am killing to get X-man, and Resident Evil 2 though. If anyone has a suggestion please tell me

[Paladin]

I still find it wierd that bain age is a good game, I keep hearing only good stuff about it still between that and metroid ....I would pick metroid..or some mario game....although I'm really waiting for FFIII.

cp:well...nothing at the moment....eventually I shall rerturn to brave soul....if my new DS won't take my attention away.

[Jin]

Welcome back Psiko. I've been missing that dancing red mage for a while now.

Let's see. First kotor is finished yet again, and I'm on to the second one. Evil she wrote this time; makes it much easier to get around, although people always seem to end up getting hurt. ^_^;

Holy fufu, and you all thought it was wild whenever I make it on to post. That crazy dancing Psiko red mage is back. There is face I haven't seen in a while. Nice to have you back at the OLD SKOOL Psiko!!! Talk about a blast from the past. Well for those of you noobs who haven't had the glory. Psiko is one heck of a character and has a spin on looking at things that makes even Dawezy seem sane sometimes. Anyway, nice to have you back Psiko!!!

Thanks for the wonderful introduction, my good man. And again, it is great to be back.

A shame neither Dawezy nor LocoColt have welcomed me back yet! Slackers!

Anywho, I recently got Wild Arms 3 and Unlimited Saga for a total of $11! Any of you play one of these games? I don't know which one I want to try out first.

[Dawezy]

Cheese: psiko is one of the original CoK members, incase it hasnt been mentioned to you in times past .

..and on that note, about time you got back you bastard.

Its been raining like a bitch here the last few days so I have been kind of quarantined to my place so eh.. same shit different day I suppose, I been taking out Taito Legends 2 and Midway Arcade Classics 2 and randomly playing them at night, after a few drinks it helps me get to sleep heh ^^. I got in touch with my girl over in Oklahoma too, shes got Xfire too now so the flirting is quite fun on the semi-daily basis she can manage to squeeze in. But eh I'm telling her not to go out of her way and all that dont wanna comprimise her scheduale with work and such.

CP: Something squishy.. o_o

Aye, but that's no videogame, ya bugger.


Yes yes, I am aware that I have not yet welcomed psiko back into the Cult. Welcome back to the Cult! Okay, that's done. No more formalities.

Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that I have absolutely nothing oldschool to report at the time. It's a bit saddening, I know, but I too have had somewhat of a social life lately, and any time I've spent at home has been with other people over as well, and it's revolved either around the Gamecube or PC shooters. I must admit, I do rather prefer the social life, even if it means minimal oldschooling for the moment.

Managed to find myself a working PS1 mini at a yardsale for 7 American dollars. It even came with 2 games. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and some Monster Truck game.

All I need is to get myself a copy of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and I'll be having an old school fun-gasm

CP: Please, please save me from Heroes of Might and Magic 3. I discovered a random map generator. SAVE ME!

[Vivi]

Heya psiko, welcome back bro.

Just got my FF Chronicles replaced.. never let your friends borrow your games.. Anyways, so I hurried to be Radiata stories which I was stuck in for a while.. started a new FF IV file. After playing a newer RPG, figured I needed something with a bit of a challenge!

[Juice]

oooooooo dawezy's got a girl friend!!!! *giggles like school girl* You stud you, congrats XD
And definately know what you mean by not lending people your games Vivi, ive lost 2 copies of FFVII that way... then again, i have picked up two copies of IX, so im not too sure how that works @_@
Psiko, i remember the dancing red mage Welcome back mate.

and my 500th post, whooo about time too!!!

[edit]: Or not, where have 14ish of my posts gone? o.O

[Arkaine]

Wow I can't believe how many of the old skoolers are coming back from the land of the lost. It's really cool that everyone is coming back into the fold. I only wish that I had more time for my old skool gaming and to post. I miss the days of posting 20 to 30 times a day. It will be good to get back to that time again. Anyway, it's good to see that everyone is doing well and I'm glad we have finally found a home.

Bump.

Did I welcome back Psiko? I don't remember anymore.

I really need to start doing some old school gaming again; I've been slacking lately with it. I've been KOTOR obsessed, but as soon as I finish that, I'll be looking for something to yet again start. Actually, if I can get them working on my computer, I'm thinking about starting up one of those old Lucas Arts point and click barrels of fun. Perhaps Monkey Island, or even Day Of The Tentacle. Holy hell those were good games.

Bump.

Did I welcome back Psiko? I don't remember anymore.

What's the matter Jin, trying to get old and senile like me and Scorp now or what??? Just giving you a hard time. Don't get old before your time like I have.

But I digress. It has come to my attention that I have been failing in my duties as both an Old Skooler and a member of these forums. I recently was looking at my profile and realizing I hadn't updated any of my messaging or other information. However this is not the greatest of my sins. I know that for one reason or another I have not been posting as often as I would have liked, but I saw my post count. 62 posts ?!?! I should be flayed, shot, and drawn-and-quartered. As the wizened old sage how am I supposed to set and example for the younger gens with numbers like that. Sheesh! So as a matter of course I don't care how much carpal tunnel I get and how tired my fingers get or how close to falling off. I vow from this point forward I will make a concerted effort to get my post count well into the high numbers. Thank you for your support, but a walker might help too!

Well it is good to see you back ark. Not that we have many deep discussions in here, but ah it is worth the extra post eh? I am swamping you an Jason so you need to give me candy...Lot of it! Aye there old man, I can understand that the arthritis is getting to you, . Well I have been oldschoolin' out my myspace. I put the old school Mario in their. Now I have something to play when I am updating sites an junk. Mario rules...although I think there is a glitch in the programming.

Ah Well...

I know not what you speak of, we have many deep discussions in this wonderful club about the nature and future of old skool gaming, BEER, womens, BEER, and old skool gaming. As for the arthritis, well yeah age sucks but with age comes wisdom so it's a good trade of. Your candy is on the way, but as for swamping me, enjoy the sweetness of your victory while it lasts, cuz it will make your defeat that much more bitter! LOL

AH HA! Don't be too slow old man! I will own you^_^. Out of pure spite now! Good to see I have inspired you to post....I have my ways of persuation. Now if Only I can get Scorp to do it, MWahahahahaha! BTW great posts in ID, and general. I laughed my ****ing ass off!

CP: WIth myself...wait...no.....Mario ^_^

[Arkaine]

Now if Only I can get Scorp to do it, MWahahahahaha! BTW great posts in ID, and general. I laughed my ****ing ass off!

Well if you want Scorp to do it...You best have me give old Mark Martin a call before he makes my weekly delivery so I can set up a scheduled stop for him at your house. And as for the posting, I do my best. It is my goal to one day own the ID forum like I once owned the PI forum on SU. Oh my goodness all the acronyms...where will it end!!!!

All joking aside I got something yesterday that I have never recieved before. I got my first official warning for flaming on that jerk in the general discussions thread. Now I want you to know that I'm not complaining because I know that I deserved it, but then again, so did he. I don't go around flaming for the hell of it, but some people just need a mirror held up to their faces to show how stupid they really are!

As for my old skool gaming, things are trucking right along, with the N64 and Sega gaming worked out my next step is to get my hands on some of my SNES and NES games and start going back through some of the classics like Master Blaster, the original Metal Gear, so on and so forth, and of course all the Final Fantasy games from I on up!

I was a bit bummed out when the Socceroos were cheated in that match vs Italy, but meh.. as I said in the FIFA thread we made *Australian* Soccer history by getting that far up the ladder, so everyone is happy cheery regardless of that fucking reff fucking Australia.. fuck fuck FUCK!



Anyway, lol.

I whipped out my old (retail too! *gasp*) copy of Alone in the Dark 4, for the PSOne and I gotta tell ya.. Its made me jump so many times now XD especially since I have been playing it in the dark.. alone, at night. Controller vibrates too o_o maybe I should put it on my lap next time it goes shakey. Yeah baby

Same'old otherwise tho, been poking HL2, FF11 and a few various Genesis/CD roms. Should really pick FFIVAdv again and keep playin, I'm just so partial to the pre-GBA-era make of it tho ^^; hard to get motivated to something I'm not particularly keen on playing -> I could whip out the old PSOne version and try get that Flayer summon or maybe Imp but eh.. yeah.

Jamie works too much ; ; she just got comp back up and its been about a week since she last popped on to flirt, lol.

[Arkaine]

Okay, and I thought I was slacking, no one has posted since my last post? Given my miserable post counts you should all be ashamed of yourselves. Maybe you should pull yourselves out of the MMORPG's long enough to say a little bit every now and again. Ah well, like I have any room to talk for the longest time every time I used the remeber command to try and remember that I was supposed to post, the command failed, so there!

No, no, you misunderstand. It is very cult like to have random periods of complete inactivity, coupled with seperate random periods that would give Gaia Online a run for its money in activity.

Friends, associates, Zro(=P), I'll be away starting tomorrow morning and won't return until the 9th. To quote various cliche movies, I'm off to find love. Hooray for me. So, no gaming for a while; video anyways. Later all!

Have fun on your trip, and take pictures or I will slay you.

Currently playing for me? Putting up the last crit in the first round of the TOA. I needed a little breather. Had to make a couple of really tough calls, but I think the next round will be even more exciting because of it.

On the gaming front, I haven't been home much at all. I recently acquired Killer 7 for the Gamecube (amazing game if you've never played it), but I've yet to actually pop it in and play it. I've played bits and pieces on the PS2 at times, and absolutely loved it. It's sick, chaotic, demented, and other such things. I just need to find the time to sit down and play it for a while.


Currently Playing:
Counter-Strike: Source (PC) - this is what I get for never being home. LAN!

[ZRO]

omg I forgot about the ToA!...it's official, FFXI has screwed me up...err..no, wait, I've never had good memory to begin with. ~.~ Statement about FFXI still stands tho. XD

As to posting habits around here...yeah, we get loooong streaks of nothing.....then none streaks of long posting...except from me, I stay primarily lazy about it. XD

CP:
FFXI, duh...

[LocoColt04]

You should have a read through the first-round threads. Some of them were quite impressive, and would be worth the time reading through them. A couple of unexpected victors, too. Quite entertaining to read, but quite annoying to judge. Had to make some close calls. It was tough for a couple of the threads.

I have every intention of firing up my Gamecube in a bit and cracking into Killer 7. I'll have to let you guys know what my initial reactions are now that I've got the chance to play the game from the start and actually get a feel for it.

Nothing else to note currently, other than consolidating some loans.

[Scorpian]

Bah, i need not the help of the driver of the Number 6 Car like you do ya old coot. I just..post spradicly as well..some days it's 'meh, nothing to post' others it's 'ok, i can do a few' But i just don't seem to have that manic posting energy heh Sux DD..refs were horrible this WC..oh well...next year is the Sheila's WC..so we gots taht to look forward to ya know?

****ing brilliant pic, Scorp. I'm still shaking my head to this day. If there was ever a definition of "screwed", what happened that day fits the bill perfectly.

In other news, Canada Day came and went, and I didn't even know it happened. I don't even think there was any kind of concert event on TV, other than good ol' Stompin' Tom. (Jin might know who he is. )

I recently cracked open the old NES "vault" (the correct word is somewhat dirty, starts with "emu" and ends in "lation". ) Beat the hell out of SMB3 (still got it) and am currently alternating between Adventure of Link and FF1. New Kasuto in one and Melmond in the other.

Also, wireless card in laptop + apartment building = free internet for life! XD

CP: Adventure of Link, Final Fantasy... but I think we all knew that.

Well after 2 days down for a catastrophic system failure I am back online. Dang my wife for letting the kids keep turning my system off at the tower. After a while windows tends to take exception to that and start corrupting system files. At least I was able to get all my proggies and files to disc beforee the clean install of XP. But enough of my woes...

Well as far as my DS gaming goes, I've actually gotten pretty bored with Nintendogs, and I'm not even that far in. Brain Age however, in all it's simplicity is so great and addictive, even got my sister hooked!

Other than that, any Old school 2D fighting fan should check out KoF XI. Even the SNK hating Capcom fanboys are digging the game because of the hardcore Quick Shift ad Dream Cancels which adds so much new to the table. Not to mention it has some of the best music and visuals around (not over the top Flashy stuff ala GGXX either) And Oswald is THE most BADASS character to come along in YEARS!

CP: Brain Age (DS), King of Fighters XI (PS2)

Oh and I have a special treat to all you Cultgoers here.

i wanta join how do i sign up dont worry im plenty evil

[cheesevixen]

I would say a good start is to make long, lengthy resposes. That always goes over well.

I am bored. My cookies somehow like to reset theirselves on Fire Fox. so than I have to go back throughout the entire computer to get everysingle bookmark that I had back. All I did was turn the computer back on, and it felt like "updating". Smashy, Smashy !!!!! Damn crap computer's.

CP:
FF 7: honestly I need to ride through this game a little more. I have about an hour an a half left on the first disc. Not counting the leveling up I am doing. RUN KILL..RUN KILL..RUN KILL.

KH: Not even past the thrid match at the collosieum yet again. I hate doing it. they are so freaking hard. I am full functional now, but nooooo. Vixen cannot do it..BAH! More Smashy Smashy!

Well, though I don't necessarily have a "how to join" process listed in the first post, here's how it works around here. We're going to grill you with some questions to test your FFVI knowledge, as well as your general old school knowledge. Then, we're going to ask you to use complete sentences when you post here. After that, we're going to ask you questions about your gaming preferences, and so on and so forth, until we (Dawezy, Dauragon, and myself) feel you're right for the Old Skool Cult of Kefka. We're very exclusive, because we've been around since 2002.

A couple of the older members will ask you some questions, and it would be great if you would answer everything that we ask you. It's not like we're going to grill you with impossibly hard trivia, but we like to know who we're letting into our Cult.

And again, I will stress that you use complete sentences.

Some questions will have a meaning, others will be completely random.

1. Out of curiosity, how many times have you beaten FFVI?
2. On a scale of 1-10, how big a fan of Kefka are you? (be creative)
3. Are you a big enough fan of the old school FF titles to have gotten an emulator for the sole purpose of playing the translated version of FFIIIj on the NES?
4. 8-bit Theater?
5. Do you have any idea what Crystalis means?

I look forward to your responses to these questions, as well as any questions Dawezy or Dauragon may present to you. I'm just trying to learn more about you, so don't think that there's necessarily a right or wrong answer to everything.
