I have declared war on the Gameboy Advance game "Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon"

posted by (Foiba) on 2004-02-05 21:28:32 [#700]
FoibaI've played it for hours and only seen 2 of the 16 levels.
FoibaThe game started something that I intend to finish, no matter how many TIE fighters I have to destroy, subsequently memorizing their spawning locations and movements.
FoibaFor example, the first two TIE fighters at the beginning of the first level will basically never survive from now on.
 
W-Didn't you do a thing like that in Ninja Gaiden, or was that someone else
W-Or Ninja Gaiden III
 
FoibaNinja Gaiden III is not worth mentioning. I played the crap out of the first two. Beat the second one finally, but only got to the last boss in the first one.
 
W-Last boss in NG 1 is ridiculous
 
FoibaThe only thing that makes NG 1 and 2 playable is the on-board infinite continues. NG 3 took out the infinite continues and also managed to fuck up the jumping physics.
 
tkurcgame genie needed?
 
W-its rage-a-foiba
 
FoibaNot really, NG 3 didn't fit into the storyline at all. Irene Lew was saved at the end of NG 2 by the sacrifice of the Dragon Sword. But then she's killed immediately at the beginning of the third one, and Ryu has a new Dragon Sword
 
tkurchow does the arcade game fit in?
 
W-it was the 90s, man, everyone was getting new Dragon Swords
 
FoibaAlso (spoilers) it was only Irene's clone that was killed. The storyline for 3 was retarded.
 
W-it was the 90s, man, everyone's clone got killed
 
tkurcJanga Fetts?
 
FoibaThe arcade game doesn't really fit. The Ryu Hayabusa from DOA and from the upcoming X-Box game aren't really the same Hayabusa either. I'm willing to accept completely changing the character/story as long as you don't try to add a "II" or "III" onto it.
 
tkurcthe arcade game had one fighting seemingly endless streams of jason vorhees
 
FoibaAlso, as it was peripherally mentioned, I believe that Boba Fett died in the sarlacc pit, contrary to what the later books attempted to reveal.
Foibabecause Boba Fett is retarded in the prequel trilogy.
 
tkurcI thought the sarlacc took many years to digest
tkurche's probably still alive TODAY
 
FoibaYeah, it took a lot of years to digest Boba Fett. Because he died in there.
 
W-years to digest, but doesn't mean you'd live more than a few minutes
W-or at worst, a week after no water and no food do you in
W-it may take you 8 hours to digest a mouse, but he'll be quite dead a few seconds after you eat him (assuming you chew like good american)
 
tkurcI thought it was 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food, or something
 
W-yeah but i was being optimistic
W-like maybe you're drinkin' some juices in the innards or something
 
tkurcmmmm.. sarlacc juice
 
FoibaYeah, with all the technological shit they gave him in the books, I'm sure he was text-messaging the hell out of his friends as he was slowly being digested. But face it, no one loves you enough to jump down into the sarlacc pit and pull your punk-ass out.
 
tkurcif george lucas dies, do they make episodes 7-9?
 
W-have they not began using a shorter term than "text-messaging" ? and what is a non-text message?
 
FoibaWell, after i manage to assassinate George Lucas, I don't see what's wrong with a Star Wars tv series.
 
tkurcvoice message
 
FoibaYou can just "text" someone.
 
W-Sounds painfhul
 
tkurcI can't. I have no cel phone
 
W-I think a "cel" phone would be a still of animation... but I have neither a cel nor a cell phone either
 
FoibaStar Wars TV series: young Han Solo (whole new actor), just after he got kicked out of the academy. He's got Chewie, the Falcon and crazy adventures in front of him. Awesome.
 
tkurctv networks don't want these high budget shows
 
W-Put it on HBO and Showtime and have them having sexy adventures
 
tkurcyou need a star wars REALITY show
 
W-XXX reality starwars!
 
Foibalike a group of people who are all told they're the new Han Solo and they have to all fight to figure out which one is the real Solo?
 
tkurcI've seen worse shows
 
FoibaIt had better end with a motherfucker in carbonite.
 
tkurcor at the very least, marrying an unappealing loser
 
FoibaActually, that'd be a pretty cool show.
 
W-Foiba could host it from Prague
 
FoibaThat plan's changed. Now I'm going with the "rusty pick-up truck and a boat on a trailer" plan.
 
W-Going to get a pre-rusted truck or rust it yourself?
 
FoibaSince the plan involves constantly driving pick-up trucks into the ocean, crawling through the cab window into the boat and sailing off, I decided to go with pre-rusted. It will be cheaper.
 
W-Darwin would be proud.
 
FoibaThey'll know me by my trail of rusty pick-up trucks at the bottom of the ocean.

tkurcguess its time to start, like talking about video games and boobs again
tkurcI hear the lingerie bowl will not be having an encore
 
FoibaI can't stop buying Janet Jackon albums now
FoibaI don't know what came over me. I was at the store, everyone had been talking about her and her boob, and I just grabbed a pile of cds
FoibaI bought a couple of albums twice.
 
tkurcsame here
tkurcI bought 19 of them
tkurcI bought a couple Micheal Jackson albums, just to be sure
 
FoibaI also bought a new computer to download her new single (which came out the day after the Super Bowl), so that it could be a computer solely devoted to how apparently awesome Janet Jackson and her boob are.
 
tkurcI would consider none of these bad values.
 
FoibaThey say the heart of rock and roll is still beating

W-They say earrings make the man... don't they?
 
tkurc|homeFlunking out of clown school doesn't stop Carlos from being a hoot at parties.
 
W-The harmonious combination of jewelry, drinks with umbrellas and froofy hair would have been complete had not Carlos been a man!
W-The lesser known member of the Green Bay Packers dreadlock triplets.
W-Honey, its the mustache and the mole that makes me SNAP
 
tkurc|homeAl Sharpton's running mate was chosen to make Al's hair appear relatively normal.
 
W-The fifty million pesos of soccer money didn't go as far as Carlos thought... the club, drinks, hair, and jewelry was complete, but a few million pesos short of the gap in his teeth or his attrocious blouse
 
tkurc|homeannouncing the new host of Univision's Queer Eye for the Straight Hombre
 
W-No one knows exactly when it all went wrong for Carlos, but friends suspect it began when he voiced the desire for cleats with high heels
 
tkurc|homeCarlos admits that his favorite thing about his hair is pulling down his pants when asked if he is a natural blonde.
 
W-It was a tough competition, but as winner of this year's World's Gayest Latino, Carlos knew his long hours of tightening his curls and practicing his queerest smile had finally paid off: for in 2004, his anus would not go yearning
W-No image does more to distinguish between American football and latino futbol than this.
 
tkurc|homewas that last comment genuine or part of the contest.
tkurc|homebecause you already won. are you Tom Osborne? Steve Spurrier?
 
W-I don't show up to win battles, I arrive to win wars.
 
tkurc|homethere is no caption BCS
 
W-Thats what Jesus said and look what they did to him!
 
tkurc|homeYou mean Jesus Hernandez, Carlos' goalie?
 
W-They gave him All You Can Eat Carlos, and he was never the same man again.

W-That if you were to do a full closed-system analysis of the economy, the whole darn world economy, it wouldn't close
W-I think somewhere along the way we've forgotton what traces back to gold bullion, where the funds come from in an electronic transfer, what happens when every nation and every individual are in eternal debt, and how you pay multibillion dollar bills
W-I think we're all running on a lot of trust
W-And the more Terminator style Judgement Day resulting from a computer becoming aware and taking over will not occur with the military systems, but rather when a great accounting system goes online, realizes the world's books don't balance, and this whole thing just flat collapses overnight and I'm trying to trade you a chicken for internet access
W-And God knows, thats an ill-gotten chicken.

tkurcwhat I want is something in between
tkurc"If the show is on, record it, unless there is a different suggestion"
 
W-Hmm, basically what you're asking for is the ability to manage the Suggestions in the Season Pass Manager
W-To be able to play some Season Pass priorities below that of Suggestions
 
tkurcYES!
 
W-That seems simple enough
 
tkurcit seems that season passing Conan O'Brien cuts out huge chunks of the day
 
W-My Season Pass Manager is 25 items long, I debate long and hard about priorities sometimes :)
 
tkurcmaybe there is something interesting on instead of conan o'brien
 
W-I set up a manual season pass for Conan, so it doesn't catch all the damn Comedy Central ones... the First Runs Only doesn't seem to help

W-my justice was swift and devastating
W-everything resembling anime in the entire 2 week lineup got three thumbs down
W-tivo fucking learned
 
tkurccronin talked me out of three thumbs downing
 
W-because it teaches it badly?
 
tkurcno, because its too harsh
 
W-my tivo very intelligently picks shows now, i'm quite pleased
W-most things are only one or two thumbs down

Klingon Discrepancy Theories

posted by (Foiba) on 2003-12-13 18:24:35 [#663]
FoibaI like the Janissary Theory best
 
W-I like the Cosmetic Fashion Theory
W-Its simple, and fits the issue with Enterprise-era and post-TOS era Klingons since it was just a fad
W-The Q Theory is nice as well, but as with all things Q, a little too simple/perfect
W-Something about the Klingons being ashamed of a time in their history when they were fashion and cosmetic oriented is just delightful
 
tkurcI can imagine all the types of forehead makeup they'd have

posted by (Foiba) on 2003-12-11 21:41:27 [#661]
FoibaI wish I could have this playing when I'm doing stuff like checking out at the self-check-out at the grocery store
Foibaor figuring out tips at a restaurant

Foibagoing through my mail, picking out the bills, throwing away the junk mail
Foibasuccessfully cooking something in the toaster oven that was designed to be cooked in a microwave
 
W-Do you want the music to please yourself, or to impress/intimidate others?
 
Foibacleaning a really filthy cutting board and making it not smell like turkey
Foibamainly just to let people know how awesome I am
 
tkurcI think if you want music to please yourself/ pump you up, it needs to be "eye of the tiger"
 
Foibathe Top Gun theme says, "I might've killed my co-pilot by being reckless and going into a flat spin, but I'll make it up to him by being The Best of the Best."

I need an optical mouse

posted by (tkurc) on 2003-12-10 22:48:33 [#657]
W-uh, duh
W-get with the 21st century
 
Foibai don't even use a mouse with a ball
 
W-and foiba lives in a barn and uses two cups connected with string for an internet connection
 
Foibai'm not even sure what the internet is yet
 
W-its what jesus used to die for your sins
 
tkurcI at least have a cordless mouse
 
W-i have a cordless optical
 
tkurcwhats the battery-life like?
 
W-i use two sets of rechargable NiMHs that i rotate
W-i get like 2, 3 weeks
 
tkurcmine lasts like 6 months
 
Foibamy roommate's got a cordless optical that sits in a cradle
 
tkurcmy mouse predates optical
 
W-i never could get a mouse last that long
W-1.5, 2 years was about the max I ever got out of a mouse
W-I don't know what I'm doing wrong
W-But I use up the batteries and kill them far too quickly
 
tkurcJuly 2000 is when I got my mouse
 
W-I was always concerned that without a mouse ball, and without a wire, I was going to lose my mouse
W-I don't know why I feared that so strongly, but its blatantly false
 
Foibai was always concerned i'd just throw the mouse at stuff when i got frightened or startled
 
W-the red laser of evil and radio waves of satan certainly can be intimidating
W-Are you still using a mouse pad?
W-That was the worst part about the '90s
 
tkurcbut I have a cool Wired mouse pad
 
Foibai'm still using my Max Payne mousepad, mainly cuz i've got a sharp edge on my desk
 
W-I mouse bareback on my nice big Ikea desk
W-I need that bumper sticker: "I mouse bareback"

ESPN.com - NFL - Ravens' Suggs charged with felony assault

posted by (W-) on 2003-12-10 21:15:58 [#656]
W-Bad news for Tony's favorite underused player
 
tkurcnot really. they still plan to start him this weekend
 
W-Suggs, 21, is accused of using a reinforced rod to assault a man during a March 29 fight outside Phoenix Municipal Stadium following a three-on-three basketball tournament.
W-I think the reinforced rod is a cousin of the inanimate carbon rod
 
tkurcits actually an enhancement
 
W-Is that what you're getting your wife this xmas? A rod reinforcement for yourself?

W-Brutal! They let him have one game with Vick and then axed him, thats just cruel!
W-Wonder why they chose now instead of the end of the season after a few more weeks.
 
tkurcthey should hire Denny Green
tkurche could do creative things with Vick
 
W-Don't forget about Deion!
W-And, will Vick destroy Manning this weekend?

Interplay shuts down Black Isle Studios

posted by (W-) on 2003-12-09 10:01:44 [#654]
W-They had quite a streak of games with the Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, and a recent favorite of mine, Lionheart.
 
tkurcI thought their games sold well.
tkurcnot Sims well, but well
 
W-I'm sure the reason was more strategic and political than sales-based.
 
Foibathey'll find other jobs with credentials like that. it's not like they're being punished for being awesome, the company just made as much as they thought they could with that team.
Foibatime to divide and multiply.
 
W-And you can learn more in Foiba's new book Principles of Rabbit Breeding in Modern Software Development, in stores now
 
Foibajust saying if the guys are really that talented, it won't be hard for them to get new jobs. chances are, they'll start heading some new teams, getting those guys experience
Foibalike accepting a promotion in starfleet, sometimes you have to leave the Enterprise
 
W-I don't think anyone cares about them
W-Its the lack of more games from that particular group
W-And you always get reassigned to the Enterprise when a movie comes around
 
tkurcMaybe they'll go work for Ion Storm and make Daikatana II

Idea for a modified rules version of football

posted by (W-) on 2003-12-08 21:27:49 [#653]
W-Make the field miles and miles and miles long
W-Start the game at the middle
W-Play for field position
W-The winner is whoever has the ball on their side
W-Its like a game of tug of war
W-There would have to be a limit on the maximum distance any one play can travel
 
tkurc|homefootball is not entertaining enough for you?
 
W-Nope
W-I'm an American, I'm never satisfied
W-There's always room for more pleasure
W-I think this would change the game in some very interesting ways... punting would be a really big deal, and there's no longer any field goal kickers!
 
tkurc|homewhat would janikowski do?
 
W-What Janikowskis do best! Drink, snort, and do cheap bitches!
 
tkurc|homehow will he make money
 
W-Not my problem!
W-Entertain me!
 
tkurc|homewith drunken brawling?
tkurc|homeSeaBass does look a bit like Butterbean
tkurc|home
 
W-Is there no other jobs available for unathletic drunks with very powerful legs?
 
Foibaman, that'd be a boring game of football
 
W-Yes, but so strategic!
 
Foibaall the awesome plays would get pulled back once they reached maximum limit allowed
 
tkurc|homeI'm with Foiba
 
W-Fine, repeal the maximum limits and watch a bunch of Kenyans dominate the sport!
 
tkurc|homethat sounds like the worst game ever
 
W-Its just an idea, I'm not forcing you to watch it and naming your children after it
 
Foibayou wouldn't really know what to cheer for... "oh, we're down so many yards this quarter, i'm not really sure what kind of rally we need."
 
tkurc|homewhats it called? Warrensballs?
 
W-Infinifootball
W-Because, in theory, the field is infinitely long
W-Perhaps played on the inside of a cylinder spinning in space
 
FoibaI always liked the idea of combining football with golf. You have a blocking line and one guy trying to line up the golf shot before he gets tackled
 
W-Arriving at the tee a second late could result in quite a shot to the chin for the pass rushers
 
Foibaputting situations, he gets one blocker and the other team gets one rusher
 
W-And there's nothing wrong with the name Infinifootball McTony
 
tkurc|homeI think golf combined with soccer and ice skating would be cool.
 
W-I always thought basketball with two balls on the floor would be worth seeing tried
W-Although that could get quite uncomfortable! rimshot

W-Mmm, that'd be most appreciated
W-New Zealand film director Peter Jackson, tipped to win an Oscar for his "The Lord of the Rings" epic, says he would like to make "The Hobbit" prequel to the trilogy and work with some of the same actors again.
W-I always did like that little story
 
tkurcyes! it involved killing a dragon
 
W-It was a bit simpler, had a lot less Elvish, and was a good bit less sad
 
tkurcplus they can just reuse them Gollum models

The Pie Race

Foibayou bake a pie as fast as you can
Foibayou ride a unicycle, then you wear the pie on your head like a hat because it looks funny
Foibait's the pie race
Foibanobody understands the pie race
 
W-How many people can both bake a pie and ride a unicycle?
W-The set of those that can do both is smaller still
W-The set of that which can do it well, and quickly, minute
W-Also, headpies offer little in the way of protection in case you fall from your one-wheeled conveyance
 
Foibano no, you don't get it
Foibafirst you bake a pie, as fast as you can
Foibathen you ride a unicycle and wear the pie like a little hat
Foibabecause it looks funny
Foibait's the pie race
 
W-a little hat? how large are the hats you normally wear?! crazy oklahomans!
 
FoibaThe Pie Race
 
W-Whats the best pie for The Pie Race? Is a cake race feasible? Whats the average and best times recorded in a pie race? What do you do while you're waiting for your pie to bake?
 
Foibasee, you don't get it. no one understands the importance of The Pie Race
Foibait's very simple once you understand it, and The Pie Race explains everything
FoibaThe Pie Race
 
W-The point at which no one else in the universe understands the importance of somthing, you might stop to consider that they might be onto something
 
Foibano, it's The Pie Race
 
W-On your next census, in the "race" section, check Other, and write-in: "Pie"
 
Foibayou wear the pie on your head because it looks funny
 
W-Ah... ok.
 
Foibayou have to bake the pie as fast as you can
