King of Snake

Nope, Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark (and the Funky Bunch), had a few songs out, his brother, whose name thankfully escapes me, was a New Kid and in 6th Sense.

hmmm, don't really go for your sluts, prefer intelligence and humour meself. 1. Alicia Witt 2. Julia Stiles 3. Melissa Auf Der Maur 4. Heather Graham 5. Cameron Diaz

Mine's R Kelly - World's Greatest: "I am a mountain, I am a tall tree Ohhh, I am a swift wind, Sweepin' the country I am a river, Down in the valley Ohhh, I am a vision, And I can see clearly If anybody asks u who I am Just stand up tall look 'em in the Face and say I'm that star up in the sky, I'm that mountain peak up high Hey I made it, I'm the worlds greatest And I'm that little bit of hope, When my backs against the ropes I can feel it mmm, I'm the worlds greatest".... Wait, this is the Personal hell thread? No? I suppose a defining song for me'd be Wannadies - Because: "I'm counting in - the band begins, because, because and all because I say so It's fun to be, around to tease, you all because, because and all because I want to I'm bold and brave, I go my own ways because, because, and all because.... I drink and smoke until I choke, until I'm broke Because I want to! I want, to show the world, that I know just how to cause, to cause real chaos I shake and spin, I am the king because, because and all because.... I drink and smoke until I choke, until I'm broke, I laugh at every stupid joke Because I want to! I drink and smoke, until I choke, until I'm broke, I laugh at every stupid joke Because I want to!" I just work during the week for money to cut loose at the weekend and often leave myself broke, and I do like fucking with my friends' heads....

At the moment definitely R Kelly - World's Greatest "I am a helping hand"?!? This is from the Ali soundtrack right? The only helping hand I saw Ali give anyone was to help them to the ground! Worse still is the video, c'mon really, Heroes? Btw, someone asked what happened New Kids. I know Mark Wahlberg's brother turned to acting but all I know he was in was the 6th Sense (the guy who shot Bruce Willis at the start).

Lets see, a good enemy against undead? ??? Blunt weapons do best against the skeletal undead and I think do alright against zombies. The doll things are Evil class so if you're planning on using a weapon for Undead/Evil I'd go for a double-handed mace, powerful, blunt, good range for them dolls. Make sure when you're making a weapon that if it's a blunt weapon, use the grip with the best blunt stat. Get a few +Evil and +Undead gems in and you should be laughing! And the Harpys you can run past without fighting them in most cases, they're very slow to react, but can be dangerous to fight if you can't kill em quick, they have a one-hit kill spell you see. You know that when you start the game from a completed game save you get to keep your weapons, blades, grips, gems, magic (all except the 5th magic type - no spoilers), chain abilities and any statistics you've built up? So if you want to play through again to see the story again you'll find it a lot easier, though the extra 15% is pretty tough, they've accounted for the fact you should have a good level. I'd give it another go, but then I've played thru a few times, I even spent hours making an ultimate crossbow with +100 for all classes and affinities, +130 all with gems, and made from Damascus....I kick ass!

The mine with the time limit is grand, if you run out of time you get teleported back to the start of the mine, then you can go again, the only real problem is a boss midway thru the mine that you have to beat in the time. And there is an alternate route, can't remember where, that you can use to skip that section, it gets you to the room at the end of the timed section. What did you not like of the underground levels Octopus and which ones do you mean, Undercity? How far did you get when you played first (careful of SPOILERS for IC)? Did you finish it and if so do you have a save state?

Heh, sorry! :sly: Quick tips: Save before using Elixirs that raise your stats, that way if you get a bad result when you use it you can reload and try again. The result can be between +1 and +4. Almost forgot, best to keep weapons for particular enemy classes, as you get +1 class modifiers on a weapon you can get -1's on other classes and it'll be the two classes below the one thats been added too.You can however use weapons for two classes if they're 3 classes apart, so one weapon for Humans/Phantoms, another for Beasts/Dragons and a third for Undead/Evil. The amount of damage you do to an enemy will depend on these class modifiers, elemental affinities (both adaptable with gems which by the way can be taken out and exchanged anywhere, not just workshops) and the enemies weakness to either Blunt, Edged or Piercing weapons. So sometimes you might be up against a dragon enemy with lets say an edged weapon that you use for dragons but you might not be doing much damage at all despite the class and elemental stats, if so try a Piercing weapon which may not have been used on dragons before but might do more damage. As far as I recall most the dragon bosses have weaknesses to piercing weapons, oh and also in a fight with em stay as close as possible to their body and they won't use their special attacks.... Aw for feck's sake, just play the game, enjoy it and lemme know how you get on. I'm gonna shut up, anyway you've got a huge guide to help you out, but if you need anything let me know...

'Don't give up hope, remember your mantra' hell, IC, get thru that fight and you're a made man! Beat the priest knight and his two comrades and you'll get a cut scene and access to another workshop - this one lets you work with bronze and iron which combined make hagane, one of the best materials in the game. Warning though, if you make any hagane stuff you won't be able to combine it for quite a while till you reach the next workshop. I wouldn't buy a guide, I don't think it'd give you that much help on combining which is pretty important (along with your personal stats, the quality of equipment is effectively your level. I'd recommend Zy Nicholson's guide at GameFAQs. This thing is HUGE, don't read the walkthru, skip past it all and there's invaluable info on combining, i.e. X armor+Y armor=New better armor Z. May not be as helpful at the start cos he shows the favourable combinations for the higher levelled weapons but you'll see the statistics clearly yourself, just make sure to keep like with like at least early on i.e. glove+glove=better glove, axe+axe=better axe, sword plus mace could=worse dagger.

Did you just beat a dragon, then got to the open air town centre? You're problem may be in combining, sometimes you can get an inferior item if you don't do it right. If I know where you are I'd say I can help.

Can't say I've played as many as most of you guys, RPGs don't sell well in Europe so just think how many Japanese RPGs you don't get, we get less! Until I arrived here, I'd never even heard of Xenogears/Xenosaga, I'll have to look em up. Favorite RPG's: Zelda's - Nes I & II, Snes III,GB Link's Awakening, N64 Ocarina of Time, not played Majora's Mask or Oracle of Seasons/Ages yet. FF VII - Probably just cause of Sephiroth, my favorite game character ever. Vagrant Story - Surprised no-one else has mentioned it, one of the last major games released for Playstation it benefits from a great battle system, a weapon and armour combination system that'll have you spending hours combining stuff to get better kit and a great story with some fantastic cut-scenes even though its using in-game graphics. Oh and the most Bosses EVER! Terranigma - Snes classic that I just found out didn't get released in America. Apparently the third of a trilogy with the earlier mentioned Soulblazer and The Illusion of Gaia (I'd known it was a follow-up to Ill. of G.). The game story is fantastic starting in the center of a barren earth, first you resurrect the world, then plants, birds, animals and humans, then you help rebuild civilisation. The finished gameworld is the Earth with real or almost real placenames and the game throws in a lot of injokes with the inventors you assist. Recommended for fans of the series if you can find the Rom.

Oh and I have heard about the fully online FFXI, looks sweet!

Well VII has the gameplay, the story and Sephiroth. VIII, well VIII had that draw system I never got into the habit of cause (at least at the start) you could only pick 4 of Attack, Item, Draw, GF and Magic, so Draw normally got left out. I liked the story but I have to admit I did tire of the game when I continually fucked up on the end of disc 3 battle. What it excelled in tho were the jaw-dropping cutscenes - the intro sequence, the duelling gardens sequence and one of the greatest ever scenes in a game, imho, the space sequence. Can't wait to see what X is like, I'll probably get a deal that's going now here, about $14 equivalent gets you a playstation disc with FFVI and a PS2 demo disc of FFX.

Had to go for VII over VIII, only got into FF when i got playstation, the earlier games didn't get a high profile over here. Gonna get IX when it drops in price, busy with ps2 now anyway, damn it though, FFX hasn't even come out in Europe yet!

Well the idea of it being a boxing match and not a brawl makes it a bit tougher to call but Lee's still gonna take it! Ali had the power but Lee'd be able to get in a couple of shots for each of Ali's. He'd definitely match Ali for endurance too.

Crowe was an animal in LA Confidential, all brute force and the will to use it, in fact I don't think that's the red corner, I think that's a bloodied witness!

Well watch The Enforcer if you want, I know you're a Clint Eastwood fan anyway but I was just stuck for a nickname, Bud White was in LA Confidential. Sorry bout the confusion...

GIBSON VS CROWE II - THE FIGHT TO KNOCK THE OTHER GUY OUT! Inna the blue corner, the Scourge of the Outback, The Road Warrior...'Mad'...Max...Rockatansky! And inna the red corner, from the City of Angels, The Enforcer...Wendell...'Bud'...White! Lets get it on!

Yeah I think the self-titled is good, JunkerSeed, just took me longer to get into. Never heard of Finger 11, I'll have a look for any free tracks online later and get back to you... Oh and I forgot to mention, I'm going over to England on the 23rd to see SoaD live!

Just remembered Easy Rider so Hopper'd be too close to Jack, try Dustin Hoffman.

Easy? Touche! So was yours though: 1 Jack was in Mars Attacks with Sarah Jessica Parker 2 SJP was in Honeymoon in Vegas with Nic Cage 3 Cage was in the excellent Raising Arizona with Mrs McDormand-Coen Next: Frances McDormand to Dennis Hopper, hopefully a bit more of a challenge?

Not heard that one Heartless, I have the two albums, tho I only got their first one after I'd heard Toxicity and it's nowhere near as good, kinda experimental. Try and get a hold of Toxicity, its fantastic, one of the best albums from last year! :approve:

Very close but I'd have to give it to Wallace Good also would be the fight of the hardass cops: Mad Max vs Bud White

I forgot Rammstein (Germany). There's still some good US rock but off hand I can only think of System of a Down. :thinking:

Blue Jam is a mix of surreal comedy and chill-out music that features on BBC Radio at about 2am, it's meant as an assault on the senses when you're at your most tired. Sometimes even disgusting, always bizarre, it even got pulled off the air once mid show for....well I'll let youse find out for yourselves! Have a go at downloading at least the first half hour of the first one from here BlueJam, since you guys probably have the broadband of Jesus, you'll have it pretty quick

Not one of mine IC, Ramires said this one: A Frenchman and an Italian were seated next to an Irishman on an overseas flight. After a few cocktails, the men began discussing their home lives. "Last night I made love to my wife four times," the Frenchman bragged, "and this morning she made me delicious crepes and she told me how much she adored me." Ah, last night I made love to my wife six times," the Italian responded, "and this morning she made me a wonderful omelette and told me she could never love another man." When the Irishman remained silent, the Frenchman smugly asked, "And how many times did you make love to your wife last night?" "Once," he replied. "Only once?" the Italian arrogantly snorted. "And what did she say to you this morning?" "Don't stop."
