Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are only 6 weeks away. Exactly six weeks. And each day is an exercise in distraction and patience.
Why would they release it on a Sunday, anyway? An attempt to trick people into not going to church? I guess it's better than having it come out on Monday. Work would slow down, costing who knows how many hundreds of millions of dollars... maybe even billions. The economy would suffer.
Don't believe me? Pokémon is the second biggest selling series in history, doubling sales of even the entire Final Fantasy series. That's worldwide, by the way, not just in Japan. And the average age of Pokémon players is 21 years. Think about it.
I haven't even decided on which start to choose, yet...

We do not practice this barbaric time destroying art in this land.
That's because Japan isn't big enough to span multiple time-zones. When a country does span multiple zones, then you have to use it. Also, geography plays a part. Mountains will affect the time for sunrise and sunset. That's why Saskatchewan in Canada doesn't bother with daylights saving; the entire province is so flat, there's nothing in the way. No mountains, no blocked sunlight.
Then you get the weird little half-hour zones, like Newfoundland. Watching TV shows there is odd, because hour-long shows start on the half-hour mark.
I think that's because no one else wants to share a time-zone with them, though.

You can't anymore. Once the switch to the new forums was done, we lost the ability to edit our own thread titles.
You have to ask a mod to do it for you. And frankly, unless you're running something big or that needs constant updating (like a remix project or a site project), they aren't likely to get around to doing it.

I'm befuddled at why people even bother getting a PS3.
I saw a few typos, so I fixed them for you.

OK. This week, I am leaving town to go on a course for my job. I'll be back each weekend, so I'm not completely gone.
By the time I'm done it, the project should be pretty damn close to being finished. Then I'll be free to put all my time into it.
So, keep working on everything, and I'll see you all on the weekend.

About three months-ish. Roughly.
I'd like to get everything for April 22nd, but I think we'll have to wait until a little longer than that.

First and foremost, my condolences for seeing it. You poor, poor man.
Second, spoilers. Bad movie or not, they still get used.
->While I thought the movie was pretty cool, I did not understand it very well at all. All I got was that the girl was the evil burned lady's daughter, and when they went to Silent Hill, they wrecked and apparently woke up in some kind of other dimension with the cop lady. Or did they die? Is that why they went home and couldn't see her husband?
I would say that the utter hatred and suffering of the woman either created a slight shifting of the town into a neighboring dimension, or that the suffering of the girl reached out to some other being (the devil, if you will). The scene where you see the woman in the hospital and then a little girl appears seems to give some credit to the second idea.
Now a lot of people seemed to be confused with the ending. The woman and the girl go home, but it's all foggy and her husband can't see them. The answer is that whatever evil force turned Silent Hill into a split world has now spread to that town, and will slowly take it over as well.

Fine, I'll change it tomorrow... fuck. Who reads the first page, anyways?
-
If I could change the title, I would. If I felt that there was something really worth updating, I would. But quite frankly, everyone on this project knows what's going on.
I really do wish I could change the title, though... I've PMed mods about it, but nothing ever happens.

Nintendo was especially against trading and renting back in the 80s and 90s. I recall several pamphlets and booklets that they gave out to stores that detailed why it was so bad. "Why You Shouldn't Trade Your Games" or something like that...
The best part was that I saw these in a toy small store in the town I grew up in, called Henkes, that rented out everything from Gameboy to 3D0 games. They always a stack of them on the counter. I guess the store took whatever the companies sent them, regardless of what it was.
-
I really wish there was a 24 hour trade-in policy for the VC. I just downloaded Streetfighter II. Little did I know that it wasn't the version I knew and liked all those years ago.(Turbo? With all the extra characters) So now I wasted my points on this crappy game T__T.
Not only is it a waste of money and points, it just sits there, mocking me...I can delete it but ugh. Just wish I could trade it in for another VC game. Oh well *sigh*
Nintendo made a big deal years ago about how you can't trade in or rent games, as they considered it piracy and fraud (translation: they weren't getting any money from the trading and renting). Do you really think that a company like this would let you do the same with non-physical games as well?
-
Gamestop likes to do trade-ins, because they give you a few bucks for it and then sell it for like twenty. It also bolsters their stock, making them look better.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to apologize to DragonAvenger for deleting her project forum account. When you didn't get back to me after a few months, I pretty much forgot who you were, and when I saw you sign up, I asked if anyone knew who you were. Sadly, no one said they did, and I deleted it.
But then, almost immediately, someone else pointed out that you had expressed interest back at the begining of this very thread, and then I remembered who you were. Then someone else said that they were working with you on a remix. D'oh!
My bad, entirely. Sign up again, and I will personally activate your account.

Uwe Boll used make video game movies really bad so that he would get a German government group to give him a tax break. That policy has since been changed, but he still fucks the films up anyway.
What? You think someone could made such bad movies by accident? No, no, no... it's entirely on purpose, and thus truly evil.

I don't know why people are saying they can't find extra controllers. I saw a whole rack of them at a Best Buy today. Classic, Wiimote, nunchuck, everything.
Now, what I couldn't find is a Wii itself. Or a black DS Lite. But that's obvious.

And you're how old now? That would give us a timeframe we could use to narrow it down.

I keep reading this thread as "Good Bleach Music"... Which is an oxymoron.

Aww... by the title I was hopeing for some type of a Ouija incarnation on the Wii. -
Motion for move to Incredible Internet Videos, and motion to include in top videos list.

QFT and QFE.Especially with Midna. She is, in my opinion, the best secondary character to arrive in a Nintendo made game. -
Here's something I thought of regarding the whole changes thing.
1. If you played it recently or on a regular basis, then why the fuck are you so worried about this? You either have a working SNES/PS1 and FF6 cart/disc, or you emulate it on your computer. Either way, it doesn't concern you if they change some text and names, or that the music is slightly different from the SNES version. You'll just play it the way you've been playing it before. The changes don't effect you in any way.
2. If you haven't played it in years, then why are you so concerned about little changes? You haven't played it in a fucking decade, so you can't possibly remember all the little dialog and spell names from the original version. You're essentially playing it for the first time. And even if you have some magical photographic memory, are you really going to let these changes stop you from playing it again? Are you? Then go play whatever version you like, because they're all the same.
3. If you are the sort of person that is going to obsess over spell names and what the characters say in this and that scene, then you're likely a Final Fantasy 6 fanboy, in which case I think point 1 applies directly to you. But you're a FF fanboy, so you'll just get it anyway. But stop bitching about it. No one is making you buy the game again.
4. If you've never played FF6 before... what the hell is wrong with you? Go play it. Got a SNES and a working cart? Got a computer and the ROM? Getting the GBA version? Go play it however you want, it's a damn good game either way.
Everyone fits into one of those four categories. So read the one that applies to you, and stop bitching about the changes.

Quicktime likes to override your media preferences. I had the exact same problem for a few days. QT just randomly decided to ignore all the other programs that I set to play all the different media types, and set it stself as a universal player. No matter what I did in any settings on any program (browser, players, even the QT settings itself), QT would always end up taking over playing files.
I uninstalled Quicktime, and used QT alternative . Haven't had a problem with it since.
Quicktime is practically a virus the way it works.

I see that some Americans are going out of their way to be offended these days.
Five bucks says that the group of people that complained about this were the same organization of people that complained about the Janet Jackson nipple thing.

Wrong game. That's pokeyman. And then it's "It's super effective!"
Anyone got a list of all the changes from the SNES to GBA versions? Like spell names, characters, music, whatever.

So... why is it that people bitch and complain about how kiddy Nintendo games are, but fucking orgasm over LittleBigPlanet like it's some sort of lesbian orgy?
Let's see...
1. It's a game where little dolls run around.
2. It's set in a world made up of toys, blocks and stylized cartoon drawings.
3. The music is whimsical and sounds like it would fit in perfectly on an episode of Azumanga Daioh or one of those short-lived Disney cartoons you see on Family Channel.
I'm not seeing how this is any different. Where's Evilhead? He should have some interesting reasons how this is completely different and better.
