GEE WILLIKERS THATS MORE FUN THAN TYPING IN ALL CAPS!

Been playing mostly on Hellscream (also have some on Spirestone, Scarlet Crusade, and Greymane, among others).

So... is this happening? What realm have you all decided to roll on? If you are into BG's Chromaggus' battlegroup (reckoning I think?) is almost instant. Just don't go to Chromaggus, they are TEH SUCK

Hey guys, what's the ups?

A couple of us have been on Chromaggus with ally toons and Thoridien(sp?) horde. Father and I have 60's there and some level 45 and 27 toons. But these past days I been at the bars, clubs, and gym and just fluffing out broke time with WoW.

I can transfer some of my toons to another server if you are all serious

Oh and I have a vent server I rarely use too. kkbaithx

68. You play in shifts between work and sleep with a friend or family member

69. You play in shifts between work and sleep with a stranger!

70. Not only did you unlock secret characters but you max them out, get all thier side quests, AND get thier secret weapons

71. FF cellphone wall papers anyone?

As I mentioned before, the launch games were weak (of what I seen so far). I still can't find a playable copy of Call of Duty 2. From what I'm hearing the anticipated games were not released for launch, which I am okay with as long as it's not rushed. But just the difference in the play and visuals of Halo 2 on the 360 makes it more than worth it, knowing that anyone I'm playing against on Xbox Live with the original Xbox is getting pwned because of the preformance difference

39. You investigate the voice actors careers and rent all thier works

40. You start comparing FF characters to thier real live pop-star models

41. You can sing all the words to the japanese radio theme song releases

42. You have a cardboard cutout of the busterblade complete with material slots

44. You vocally reproduce the fanfare when you beat someone in a fighter or FPS

45. You are looking up game easter eggs online during your lunchtime at work

Hey, if Timecop made it on the list you gotta put Harry Potter 3 :p

12:01 was a made for TV movie as I remember, pretty good though

I think the tops on this list is Frequency. I totally bought the concepts presented. Most time travel movies hit a paradox where you wonder when was the first time the person went back in time and how long will it loop :P

And "The Time Machine" had great special effects to boot

But 12 Monitos had to be my fav

32. When you start threads dedicated to FF on a forum board between releases

33. When you are one of three people participating in the thread

34. At one point in your life you tried to have your hair done in resemblance to one of the FF characters

I couldnt resist the first two

Shit that's funny lol

26. Your CD collection includes any or all of the original sountracks of all the FF, the remixes, and the fan techno mixes

27. You have the FFIX Pepsi commencials (or was that coke?) downloaded on your hardrive

28. Took offense at the fan-works that theorized the homosexual Cloud-Sephiroth connection

29. Spend a good portion of your paycheck to buy gil for FFXI

25) you're one of the people who actually fell for/tried the "quests" for an underwater materia in FF VII (hell, beating the weapons alone should put you on this list) thinking it would save Aeris/bring her back. Dumbass.

Haha, I dunno why I decided to beat Emerald Weapon except for bragging rights

19. If you start to learn Japanese just to be up to date on FF news

20. If you have a digital moogle on your PDA/Cellphone

according to various forums the problem seemed to be caused by the power supply overheating. Various measures were taken when adressing this problem, from simple (making sure its on a bare surface and well ventilated) to complicated (opening the case and relocating the power supply). This is easily fixed versus a more complex problem like manufacturing defects. If anyone is a release date buyer you all are familiar with this problem plauging new systems since the original release of the Playstation.

I heard about those errors but fortuneately never experienced them. I'm never going to say 'It was something they did' but I just find it odd that there's not more of these complaints if it was a manufacturing defect. I am curious to know what material they burned to the drive, if they plugged it in on-line, or if they set it up in an area with adequate ventiallation. It would be an interesting twist if they burned a copy of a Sony BMG disc to the harddrive, wouldn't it?

8. You name every character you play in every game, forum, and chatroom some variant of Cloud, Sephiroth, or Tidus

9. You cry in the shower when you think about Aeris

10. More space is dedicated to FF emulators, icons, wallpapers, and media (sound bits, music, art, videos) than anything else

11. Every conversation you have with people is about how badass you are or how hot the game chicks are

12. You have a blackmage cosplay coustume in your closet

13. You have been to every FF concert

14. You tell your co-op partner to 'Rez' you

15. You have a life-size blow up doll of Lulu

For those intrested...

Mistwalker, the development team established by the savior of Squaresoft, Hironobu Sakaguchi, is putting out two exclusive RPG’s, which are already looking incredible. First is Blue Dragon, the tale of five warriors who can craft their shadows and give them a corporeal form. The way things are going, this game is likely to be incredible in every way, which is in no small part due to the multitude of former Square-Enix talent brought by the likes of famed composer, Nobuo Uematsu (renowned for his insanely popular music from the Final Fantasy series), the great character artist Akira Toriyama (beloved by many for his work in Dragon Warrior, Chrono Trigger and Dragon Ball Z), and many others. Their second top-dollar RPG is Lost Odyssey, the tale of a suicidal immortal named Kaim Argonar, whose tragic story will be fleshed-out by the famed Japanese novelist, Kiyoshi Shigematsu, and will address in-depth details of his family, their deaths, his long-lost loves, and his dealings with other immortals. Judging from the incredible talents developing these games, both are likely to be excellent and in all likelihood, will bring many RPG gamers in America to the 360, even if they were originally unwilling to consider the new hardware. However, even the promise of two RPGs, probably of Final Fantasy caliber, isn’t enough to bring Japanese gamers to the 360. According to Famitsu, a Japanese gaming magazine, approximately FIVE PERCENT of Japanese gamers are interested in the Xbox 360. This is certainly an incredible blow to Microsoft, who has taken many strides when it comes expanding its Japanese fan-base, and with numbers that low overseas, despite other games likely to draw a crowd, particularly Dead or Alive 4 and a new King of Fighters: Maximum Impact, Microsoft pulling itself up the ladder in Japan seems improbable at best, but what about its Japanese rivals?

The first project

Uematsu is already involved in two of Sakaguchi's projects and will write music based on the scenarios. The two have both aged since the early Final Fantasy games and believe that the new games will be different from the FF games, and will be more deep. The first game will feature slightly atypical characters. Technically speaking there will be a levelling system, but it's more like emotional development. Rather than developing with singular big events, he wants to show the smallest changes of emotions constantly. There will still be big events with large impact though, just like the real world, as the characters are human. Author Kiyoshi Shigematsu is also involved in the project, writing short parts of the story, for example about the families or about a lover, so that the game is emotionally deep.

Played it yesterday... wow.

Played Perfect Dark Zero, very interesting. If you expecting this game to be a 'Halo killer', sorry no dice. But As far as shooters go, this game was very involving. Played co-op player mode, and there were moments in game that you needed to use the old grey matter. In one point, you are separated from your partner, one on the roof-tops, the other on the streets. And you have to cover each other through the level. Wow. The gamed reeked of made-for-xbox (unconvincing environments effects, like subpar skies and shadows) and ported for 360, but after was said and done (or in my case, bith and moan :p), what seemed like 3hrs of play was actually 5 hours.

So my recommendation: If you didn't get the Xbox 360 yet, don't sweat it. Give the developers time to get a better feel for the system (3-6 months) before the truely great games are released. Rumour mill says a new release for Fable and Elder Scrolls are pending release

Xbox 360 cannot play iTunes-purchased music - Microsoft

Tom Bramwell 10:56 08/11/2005

 

Platform holder says Apple rejected its advances on the subject

 

It's a well-known fact that Xbox 360 will be able to stream music from iPod MP3 players on its "dashboard" front-end and to provide background music for games, but what's less well-known is that the next-generation console will be unable to play songs purchased from Apple's iTunes Music Store.

 

That's according to Microsoft's Jeff Henshaw, who told CNET News.com that because of the digital-rights-management (DRM) software in iPod, playback of those tracks was not possible.    more...

Apple going on a ego trip? No way!

Well dont blame me for the poll, it was a -1 thread I saved from the annals of Nintendorks forum

Yeah I have a friend that told me gamestop is rsvp them for $299 today

If someone can sell a system that is Playstation 3 and backwards compatible, Xbox 360˚ and backwards compatible, all of nintendo, gameboy, PC, mac, linux, and hell even Jauguar... they'll be rich.

Sadly my early schematics required the use of a lot of duct tape and looked like nothing that I expected. But hey, neccessity is the mother of all inventions

You mean this?

Besides I'm waiting for the next Fable. Not the release, on spare money to buy it

zhey you name names you gotta show us the money! What he do? :p

Yeah good point. But sadly the game was foofoo.

Enter The Matrix was developed under the creative direction of the Matrix filmmakers Larry and Andy Wachowski.    from game info...

I think that does count as producing to an extent

Exactly! Yasumi Matsuno made my most favoritist game in the universe, Final Fantasy Tatics. Also made the Gamebot Advance version of it and Vagarant Story, even was producing FFXII

I mean seriously, I really love FFT a tad more than Suikoden

here's more to his story

... FFXII director, Yasumi Matsuno, is no longer working on the game. The former Quest developer (Quest made games like Tactics Ogre and Ogre Battle for the SNES and Sega Saturn) is the mastermind behind such brilliant games as Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, but is said to be temperamental. When part of the FFXII team was said to have left Square-Enix for Hironobu Sakaguchi's new development studio, Mist Walker, Matsuno was reported to have not shown up for work for a month until the crisis was resolved. In fact, we're not sure what Matsuno is working on now, and whether he was kicked off the team or if he voluntarily removed himself, although he is still said to be at Square. The RPG powerhouse is reported to have a replacement at the helm already...    more...
