    If you could BE a remix, what would it be?

    I'd probably be "GeoffreyTaucer, USA - Kirby Superstar Victory" festival (soft-spoken, but fun) in everyday situations. And then either "DiscoDan - Megaman 3 BlueLightning" or "DistantJ - Sonic the Hedgehog Cryptic Marble" in bed.

    Okay, I probably don't live up to BlueLightning, but a fella's gotta have aspirations.

    For now, replace it with "LeeBro - Sonic 3D Blast Blissful Eruption"

    Grindhouse!

    300 has started a trend of people, for no reason, liking silly movies.

    Dude, I hated the 300, but grindhouse looks fucking awesome. Because, you see, unlike 300 grindhouse has no pretensions of being serious.

    Things that are supposed to be bad usually succeed in being bad. And contrary to hipster belief, bad isn't actually a good thing.

    NiGHTS FOR WII CONFIRMED OMFG!!

    An observation:

    Somehow it feels like NiGHTS' flight controls should go well with the Wiimote, but when I try to figure out how that would actually work, I keep coming up blank.

    The only thing I've come up with that remotely works is that you draw a trail with the wiimote pointer sorta like Kirby's canvas curse, but that would make the game so easy as to be pointless. And while I've been looking forward to a sequel to NiGHTS for a decade or more... the desire not to see it screwed up like Sonic is even stronger. We should all wait for more info before we start creaming our pants.

    How Long Can You Hold On To Your Rings?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    So how long can you hold on to your rings? Do you loose them after every save point? Can you hold on to them throughout multiple levels and rach upwards for 200 to 300?

    Setting aside the fact that it's completely impossible to hold on to rings through multiple levels (since they're reset to 0 at the start of each one and all)

    you might be interested in http://www.soniccenter.org/rankings/sonic_1/rings, http://www.soniccenter.org/rankings/sonic_2/rings,

    http://www.soniccenter.org/rankings/sonic_3/rings, http://www.soniccenter.org/rankings/sonic_&_knuckles/rings, and perhaps the ring attack divisions that site holds for every other sonic game, as well.

    Senior Prank

    My senior class had one of the coolest plans for a prank, ever but never actually got its shit together to pull it off.

    The plan was to sod over the school's entire parking lot, set up lawn chairs, and hold a luau for the entire senior class during school hours instead of doing the senior ditch day thing.

    Though, even if we'd pulled it off it wouldn't have come anywhere close to Trapical's thing.

    The dialogue is directed towards Link, from Zelda. If it was something that WE needed to know, they would not have had it being said by a character to another character.

    In Twilight Princess (GameCube) there is a named character who tells Link (among other things) "To talk to someone from a distance, hold L to target them, and press A."

    Aonuma called Four Swords GBA the oldest Zelda story thus far, and Minish Cap must obviously precede it, but FSA can't take place until after OoT, since it includes Ganon.

    This, however, is solid evidence of it being a different Link.

    Four Swords GBA Link is not the same as Four Swords Adventures Link, very simply because each of those Links is first introduced to the Four Sword at the beginning of their respective games.

    I agree!

    Also, it's obviously a different Samus in Super Metroid than in Metroid 2, because she doesn't start out Super Metroid with all the upgrades she got during Metroid 2.

    (Also, a nonsarcastic explanation of my stance):

    Game plotlines have to allow some leeway for things done for the benefit of the player. Otherwise you have to say it's a different Link each game, because he starts with 3 hearts instead of 20, and other stuff like that.

    There is some redundancy in Minish Cap, Four Swords, and Four Swords Adventures, but I suspect that it's done for the benefit of players who haven't played the other games. Especially since Minish Cap comes before Four Swords chronologically, but was released after.

    And especially in games where people say stuff like "Press L to roll", you have to assume that some of the dialogue is directed towards the player, not the character.

    So rather than Link being introduced to the Four Sword at the beginning of both games, the player is. Make sense?

    I clicked this because I am tired of all this entirely useless chatter.

    If you don't like the useless chatter, don't click the threads. You knew when you read the topic that the thread would be about zelda timeline theories. So don't read it. Solves your problem of being annoyed by useless chatter (because you aren't exposing yourself to it) and solves this thread's problem of people coming in and going "DUDE THIS IS POINTLESS STOP TALKING."

    First, it's a thread I am interested in. Not in the same way you are, but that's how you make conversations happen.

    So being completely uninterested in all zelda timeline theories makes you interested in a thread about them? Oh of course, it makes perfect sense!

    Second, I'm countering an opinion stated by other people. You're allowed to do that now.

    In very much the same way that you're allowed to walk into a Nissan dealership and go "WTF ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE DOING HERE? DON'T YOU KNOW THAT NISSAN CARS ARE ALL CRAP AND WHOEVER DESIGNED THEM SHOULD BE RAPED TO DEATH?!"

    Third, STFU, 5 post newbie. When you learn how people around here operate, you'll see that telling someone to not post in a thread is like telling fat chicks not to eat chocolate. Lurk some more.

    Because we all know that postcount equals IQ, amirite?

    Lots of retarded gamefaqs shit about how ganon could take sephiroth any day of the week.

    Guy. This "my character is stronger than your character" crap is why the internet community at large thinks of the gamefaqs boards as a gay orgy of retarded.

    Edit:

    Vote revised due to additional song selection, moved to new post.

    Missing Frame- Seems like a bit much to release it all in different formats like that though. I think It might be best to release only the CD labels in JPG format and everything else as PDFs, how does that sound?

    PNG is better than JPG. do a PDF + PNG release.

    PDF only makes sense to me for the CD covers, but you could make a single PDF containing everything, and then just make PNG copies of each item available as well.

    Heres some new ones, and I also tried adding in some eyes to the original ones as well.

    I wanted to get the balancing stance on there too but I just couldn't get it to look good. I may try that one again later.

    Your link is broken, remove the ".th" to fix it.

    As for the poses, I like the flying tails, and the leftmost two on the bottom best, but I'm still not really feeling any of them. I think the balancing stance may really be the best choice.
