Necrotic

Necrotic (Ryu/A-ism) 2-0 vs. kamoh (Ken/X-ism->A-ism) We need to fight again and/or more often, seems like you have a lot of potential. -Nick

Necrotic (Ryu/A-ism) 2-0 vs. dPaladin (Ken/X-ism) Hmm... you had a fighting style I wasn't used to. Some of the matches came close. Good games, dude, I think you have a shot with some of the matches. -Nick

Small preview of what I've been working on. Was going to do a full colour job, but the deadline's coming up too fast for me to manage so I decided to go with a different and more managable style instead. Here's to hoping I actually finish in time. D: Haven't had much time to do just about anything these past couple days. I have an arcade game compo to attend to also. -Nick

How do you use coupons? Do you type them in at the checkout or something? Can't find out where, but this would be the PERFECT opportunity to get Phoenix Wright. Thanks man! -Nick EDIT: Dayam, Amazon.com doesn't ship video games to Canada. Seems kind of absurd, but whatever. And unfortunately, the coupon code doesn't work with Amazon.ca which would ship to me.

Dude, you know I'm in!

Seems I was thinking of Ni-Cd batteries then, bleh. -Nick

Charging a lithium ion pack is a conversion between different chemicals, but there are some irreversible byproducts which very sloooowly build up. Because of that, constant conversion of chemicals from a lithium ion pack lose more and more power every time you charge them. AND, if you charge your DS when the battery isn't almost completely drained you could totally be ruining the efficiency of your battery because those byproducts build up faster instead of the chemicals you need to create the charge. After a hundred charges you're definitely going to notice a difference, especially if: a) you didn't charge the battery before you turned your DS on for the very first time ever, and you constantly charge your battery mid-way through a charge, and c) you don't give your battery an opportunity to charge nearly fully whenever you do happen to charge it. And yeah, what the DS parts have to push out should also contribute to the low battery life somewhat but definitely make sure you take care of your battery if you want to keep it in good condition. -Nick

I just remembered this site, useful information on the linux world in general. http://distrowatch.com/ -Nick

Proud member of the Ubuntu (link for ya there linkspast) club. Tried a couple other distros but this one that lets me be the most lazy of all. I dual-boot between Ubuntu and Windows, but I still mainly use Windows for everything. -Nick

Intrigued! Please, tell me more. -Nick

I can't believe so many people are mentioning FF3 in this whole discussion because there's absolutely nothing to compare between FF3 and FF7. FF3 for DS has fully 3D models and environments, and it did fine. FF7 had 3D characters and the occasional object, but completely 2D backgrounds. Yes, that's right. I have no clue what you people are talking about when you say FF7 is "fully 3D" but it wasn't in any way, shape, or form. The system could easily handle either method as has been shown. As people have mentioned, cutscenes would cause trouble. But then you have to consider the resolution of the DS screen, it's exponentially smaller, plus some of the more sophisticated compression methods that are constantly being developed. And, if you look at the tech. specs of the DS it's somewhere around or greater than a PS1 in power (though I have no idea how things like RAM would compare.) Nobody wins this discussion because all points are moot. The DS is limited yes. Companies get past those limitations, yes. Like people have been saying (and this point is completely solid) the cutscenes add up, and a lot of the catridge space would probably be spent on them so I'd be hard-pressed to say it would be worth-while. I don't even care about this discussion much, just the fact that people need to understand technology before they understand. An FF7 remake or port would be sweet though, but I could think of other games I'd way rather have moved over. -Nick

One of my teachers celebrates International Pi Day by bringing pie to class of different varieties. Best way to celebrate any number ever. -Nick

Put the banner in my sig... plus, made myself a new sig image. Hope it helps grab attention. -Nick

I support the cause! Even though I suck at KoF. -Nick EDIT: Also, maybe we should get a sigbanner or something to help the word spread. I have no idea how useful they are, but clicking one of them lead me to the Fan Art Competition.

Awesome work guys! Just noticed one thing, and I don't know whether or not it's an error with the game, but definitely is one with the grammar. In one sentence about a bird and trees and stuff, it lists "above" as a verb. It's a preposition, which so far I haven't seen the game ask for yet. Keep in mind that they exist! Also, "She came to the baseball game," where baseball is apparently not an adjective. -Nick

Well, I picked a theme that's extremely accessible. I have no idea how excited people will get though. Here's to hoping Bean will make a pretty picture with what I chose though! -Nick

I'ma crackin' the WIP, son! Will I finish in time? Who knows! -Nick

Another really small issue, and I have no idea if it was brought up already. When previewing a post, the font is tiny (the same size as posts were a couple days ago I believe.) -Nick

I'm about 50-60% done... just hope I have enough time to retouch it. EDIT: Will post a most recent pic in a the near future.

Since I'm lazy to trudge through the thread, how about a colour key on the first page? -Nick

I'm pretty sure Uematsu went solo, didn't he? -Nick

I shouldn't have to ask this but, you are aware that it's an absolute fact that Snake is in the game right? No, I haven't been following news of this new SSB and/or this Wii thing. Check the end of this video. -Nick
