Community Chat?

[Link89]

I'm liking the forums more and more, but the threads are pretty limited to just the show. Having long been a mod at other forums, I think this community could really benefit from some type of Community Chat forum. So that we can chat about things other than the show. Everything from what you're expecting from ODST to a favorite OCRemix thread.
What do you think?

[Brainiac]

<waits patiently for Swish to show up in this thread>

[Swish]

Well, what I normally say has already been said. We could do with a General Discussion subforum.

Why would I need to come to this thread?

...

Yes I know I did.

[Terraguy]

Darn it, if only I had saw this earlier. Then I could've sat on the sidelines with Brainiac while waiting for Swish.

[Swish]

Well you still got in your gratuitous postcount padding after the fact, so what are you complaining about?

I kid, I kid.

[Terraguy]

Aw, come on. I'm not here to boost my post count....

(Only 14 more to go!)

On the other hand, Swish's love for a General Discussion forum is so well known, it has to be said.

[Myrph]

Yup! I'd agree with all the above...

It'd be nice to see it suddenly materialise though! ;p

[Leontendo]

While I discuss generally on other forums, it would be nice to have such a forum at VGL. :D

[Link89]

ah, so I guess I just stepped an ongoing issue...
But, now there is another voice in the fight for discussion equality!
...perhaps a song is in order to express our feelings on the subject.

[Matt]

...And a promotional poster:

http://mattrick.net/GeneralDiscussions.jpg

:D

[Terraguy]

.... I can't believe I'm seeing this.... :D

[Cruzik]

that is one sweet poster

[Swish]

If curiously Communist.

[Myrph]

I leave you guys for a couple of days, and this is what I come back to?

:D

[Brainiac]

I leave you guys for a couple of days, and this is what I come back to?

What, you're actually surprised? :p

[Myrph]

More pleasantly surprised ;pp

Makes a change from coming back and finding several hundred spam posts ;pp

[Matt]

If curiously Communist.

Sorry, I never really intended for it to look that communist. I liked the red color, and the whole grungy dark-red theme seemed to work well, so I decided to go with it. It just happened to come out so communist-looking. I realize that the star beside the text didn't help at all, but I needed some kind of symbol that would automatically work with any theme, and the star seemed to fulfill that purpose.
Here's a less-communist version: GeneralDiscussions_blue.jpg (http://pb3d.net/mattspace/GeneralDiscussions_blue.jpg)

Anyway, glad you guys like the poster, lol...

[Brainiac]

Blue is better than the Big Brother/Tovarisch Tallarico version, but how about a version in VGL green? That would seem even more apropos.

[Terraguy]

Frankly, "Lord Tallarico" scares me a bit. :p

[Matt]

Personally, I find "Tallarikov" to be both disturbing and amusing :p
Here's the green version: GeneralDiscussions_green02.jpg (http://pb3d.net/mattspace/GeneralDiscussions_green02.jpg)

And on top of that, some propaganda for the General Discussion cause :D

[voxie]

Matt - those posters are freaking awesome! :eek::D

[Matt]

Matt - those posters are freaking awesome! :eek::D

Thanks Voxie! :D
Needless to say, I've got way too much time on my hands :p

[Leontendo]

Wow... this makes me want General Discussions even more!

[Link89]

god I'm glad I made this thread...
...posters=amazing.
oh, and I've got lyrics to my protest song for GD, so expect that file in a couple days.

[wareagle884]

Wow this is turning into some kind of movement! The posters are awesome. I liked the "Uncle Sam" one (Uncle Tommy?).

[Swish]

I can only take this as a personal insult to my charisma. Not a word when I bring it up, but as soon as Link89 says something, community chat! Posters! Oooh, Link89, write me a song!

If you all love Link89 so much why don't you marry him/her?

By which I mean I'm looking forward to that song.

[Myrph]

Aww, Swish, you should be less bitter! At least people are really fighting for your cause now! You never know, we might actually get something!

[Swish]

I feel I should point out that I was joking.

[Terraguy]

You should know, Swish's comments are generally always sarcastic.

That's why we love him. :p

[Brainiac]

You should know, Swish's comments are generally always sarcastic.

That's why we love him. :p

Speak for yourself. You may love him, but I am his eternal rival, forever duelling for the #2 poster spot! :D

[Terraguy]

Ah, well then, I stand corrected. Duel away! (Wow, you guys are really close!)

[Brainiac]

Yep. Tommy's catching up with us though (and Myrph's on the way up too).

I still have one trump card if I need to mass-post though...I can make a Guess My Avatar contest thread. :p

[Swish]

Yep. Tommy's catching up with us though (and Myrph's on the way up too).

Holy cow, we're NECK AND NECK!

Or rather, I'm one ahead with this post.

Hah.

[Brainiac]

Not anymore.

Yeesh, now we really are being postmonkeys. :rolleyes:

[Lasolimu]

I would like to present exhibit A on why we need a General Chat section of the boards.
Not anymore.

Yeesh, now we really are being postmonkeys. :rolleyes:

With a General Chat section, posting for postings sake such as this could be confined to the appropriate section out of the way of the information people are looking for. Postmonkeys such as this could be in an environment where they are able to post as much as they are able and live happy, care free lives. We need to protect these postmonkeys from extinction caused by the destruction of their natural habitat. This General Chat would benefit all users of the boards, people would be able to find the information they need and the local wildlife would still be protected. This is not a problem that will resolve itself in time, we need to act now or, I fear, we may act too late.

[Brainiac]

Ook, ook!

<translated from postmonkey speech> Here, here!

:D

[Swish]

Agreed.

And to reinforce the point, that's all I'm going to say, rather than make this post remotely constructive.

... ...

Curses. Irony.

[Terraguy]

Wait, we need to preserve out postmonkey species? How do you think I amassed over 400 posts? Without a General Chat forum?

*ahem*

[Swish]

I know we're not endangered, but shhhh.

Don't say anything and they might give us free fruit or something.

[Brainiac]

I know we're not endangered, but shhhh.

Don't say anything and they might give us free fruit or something.

I'd rather get free games...or game soundtracks. Wouldn't you?

What, you think all we monkeys do is fling our posts at each other?

Heh.

[Terraguy]

Hmm... can we start a Club VGL?

[Lasolimu]

I warned you all that there would be trouble without a General Chat section of the boards, and now it is too late, the postmonkeys are on the move to take over the informative section because we destroyed their natural habitat. Run for your lives!

[Myrph]

You should know, Swish's comments are generally always sarcastic.

That's why we love him. :p

As old as that post now is (gosh you people have been busy today!), i would also like to point out that my post was also in kept, however as i have yet to develop my unique esoteric brand of humour, it unfortunately fell somewhat flat! And i thought i was achieving well in the ranks of the post monkey! ;p

What are you still doing here? The postmonkeys are on the loose, and they plan to kill us all! Run for your life!

[Leontendo]

OMG! I didn't go onto the forums for a whole day! I'm never gonna become a postmonkey. :( At least I'm a member ;)

[Terraguy]

I'm sorry Myrph. I'll be sure to keep an eye (and a few notes (scientific notes (research paper (psychiatric analysis)))) out for your humor too. You will not be neglected!

OMG! I didn't go onto the forums for a whole day! I'm never gonna become a postmonkey. At least I'm a member

Well, you're well on your way to becoming a senior member. Only 44 more posts to go!

[Myrph]

What are you still doing here? The postmonkeys are on the loose, and they plan to kill us all! Run for your life!

Hey, I'll have you know I'm working very hard to become a postmonkey! This is something that all true warriors strive for!! I think given the head start that the rest of them got, 200 odd posts isn't bad going ;pp

[Terraguy]

Myrph, I believe you're already in the postmonkey ranks. So no need to hyperventilate. :D

[Myrph]

what? I am? *hyperventilates*

But yeah, I kinda guessed I probably was ;p

Maybe Swish and Brainiac shouldn't be worrying about each other for the position of 2nd highest poster?

[Swish]

You don't count. You're a mod, and therefore have something of an obligation to be a postmonkey.

But me and Brainiac? That's personal.

[Terraguy]

Ouch. I sense discontent among the ranks now.

[Brainiac]

You don't count. You're a mod, and therefore have something of an obligation to be a postmonkey.

It's Britain vs. America, round...I dunno, 42? :p

[Swish]

It's Britain vs. America, round...I dunno, 42? :p

41.

You guys cheated in the Scrabble round. "Organise" isn't spelt with a Z.

[Brainiac]

41.

Dang it, he figured out the entire reason we made alterations to the language! :p

[Link89]

holy nuts, you can't leave this board for a couple days without it going straight to the postmonkeys.

so, definately not one of my better songs, but I'd like to dedicate it to Swish, since apparently I made an unintentional slight on his person.

General Discussion Parody.mp3 - 1.21MB (http://www.zshare.net/audio/55732170981a28ff/)


....yes I got lazy and just looked for something I could parody...
I don't suppose this song lends itself to picketing well...(which means I'll have to write another! based on a game theme so I can post it on OCRemix!)

[Swish]

Love the lyrics.

There's something slightly creepy about your melancholic delivery.

[Link89]

lol, it's either that or hear me attempting the correct octave.
trust me, THAT was a failed experiment.

[Myrph]

lol, it's either that or hear me attempting the correct octave.
trust me, THAT was a failed experiment.

I know how difficult that can be! I take it it would've been awkward transposing the melody track?

[Brainiac]

Another reason for a General Discussion forum has just occurred to me...

...we need an appropriate forum to wish Tommy a Happy Birthday. :cool:

[Swish]

Otherwise he will have a neutral birthday at best.

[Brainiac]

Otherwise he will have a neutral birthday at best.

Lawful, Chaotic, or True Neutral? :D

[Swish]

Lawful, Chaotic, or True Neutral? :D

Haha. That reference will separate the boys from the... erm... overgrown boys, I guess.

[Terraguy]

Well, Happy Birthday to Tommy Tallarico, in any case!

And I must be too young to get the quote....

[Myrph]

Lawful, Chaotic, or True Neutral? :D

I'd definitely say lawful neutral, as opposed to the other two! I think our presence would definitely tis the scales towards chaotic!

And terraguy, these are three of the nine alignments a character can be in dungeons and dragons! The others being chaotic good, lawful good and neutral good and chaotic evil, lawful evil and neutral evil.

[Brainiac]

Yeah, what Myrph said. Though Neutral Good and Neutral Evil are often referred to as "True" Good/Evil since they exist in balance between Order and Disorder.

And Swish is right too - knowledge of that factoid is pretty indicative of an adult geek who was a very geeky child a few decades ago.

[Terraguy]

Exactly how old are you guys?

(Don't answer that. That was a rhetorical question. :p)

But yes, I didn't exist back that far...unless I'm completely unknowledgable about the timeline of Dungeons and Dragons, which I am.

[Link89]

I just had a D&Dgasm. you guys are amazing.
so happy birthday to tommy I guess. I should totally do a boy band song for you.

[Brainiac]

Exactly how old are you guys?

(Don't answer that. That was a retorical question. :p)

Never heard of retorical. Rhetorical, on the other hand... :D

Anyway, I don't care. I was born in '82. Do the math yourself. Honestly though, my knowledge of DnD comes from general sources rather than a high level of personal experience. However, I have met a few people who are pretty hardcore into pen-and-paper games like that.

[Terraguy]

Oops....Corrected.

And yeah, that makes me comparatively young.

So that makes you 9 years older than me! I must admit though, as you can probably tell from my age, that I wasn't a part of the original following and only joined the bandwagon after discovering the video games (Pool of Radiance, Neverwinter Nights etc.) based on the concept, although I do try and dabble in the 'pen & paper' gaming over the internet when I can!

Must admit I'm not happy about the new incarnation though, the removal of the Bard as a playable class in 4th Edition will be something I will never forgive them for... But thats not a discussion I'd like to get into here ;pp We'd need a General Discussion board in which to do that!

/Subtlety

[Brainiac]

...I wasn't a part of the original following and only joined the bandwagon after discovering the video games (Pool of Radiance, Neverwinter Nights etc.) based on the concept...
*cough*Planescape: Torment*cough*

Must admit I'm not happy about the new incarnation though, the removal of the Bard as a playable class in 4th Edition will be something I will never forgive them for...
The new edition just simply could not withstand the Bards' immense spooniness. :p

[Terraguy]

The new edition just simply could not withstand the Bards' immense spooniness. :p

OH NO! A FINAL FANTASY IV REFERENCE?!?!?!?!

Sorry for the caps.

[Myrph]

*cough*Planescape: Torment*cough*

*cough*Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale*cough*

The new edition just simply could not withstand the Bards' immense spooniness. :p
That it couldn't! I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with my half-elf and gnomic bards now... They held a very important place in my heart and I'm not sure I could bring myself to part with them! I suppose the introduction of Tieflings as a playable race kinda made up for it in part though...

[Leontendo]

Yeah, what Myrph said. Though Neutral Good and Neutral Evil are often referred to as "True" Good/Evil since they exist in balance between Order and Disorder.

And Swish is right too - knowledge of that factoid is pretty indicative of an adult geek who was a very geeky child a few decades ago.
Hey, I'm 14 and I know about alignment. How I love Neverwinter Nights...

EDIT: And Happy Birthday, Tommy! </late>

[Terraguy]

Now I just feel inadequate for not knowing about this stuff....

[Leontendo]

Now I just feel inadequate for not knowing about this stuff....
Don't worry. You know now, and that's all that matters. Now, onto more "Things that Terraguy doesn't know"!

(I think this thread has become the "Off Topic Thread")

[Terraguy]

Oh, believe me, there is a lot of stuff I dont' know. By the time you'd finish (if ever), youand many others would have definitely surpassed me as postmonkeys.

(And a General Discussion forum will help propagate "off-topic-ness".)

[Leontendo]

Well, I'm sure you know more than me. :p And I'm not posting to be a postmonkey - just for the fun of it. Because - as with everything - my amusement always comes first.

Has anyone actually asked Tommy for a forum?

[Terraguy]

Many times, I do believe, although Swish may just have the hard data.

[Leontendo]

Many times, I do believe, although Swish may just have the hard data.
Hmmm... maybe he needs a bit more prodding... :p

[Link89]

very true, If we had a general discussion board I would totally tell you that 4th edition sucks and if you want to correct balance issues from 3.5 you just need to be a better DM XD.
Bards FTW.

[Leontendo]

The thing is that we don't even have a section where we can talk about video game music!

[Swish]

Yeah I know. I tried to mitigate that slightly with this thread (http://videogameslive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14624), but it can only do so much.

What's a single thread when you could have a whole subforum? Ideally I think general games music chat should have its own subforum rather than shared with the off topic stuff we're campaigning for here, but whatever, we need somewhere where we can justifiably say something that isn't phrased in a question relating to VGL.

[Brainiac]

I have another reason for a Gen-Chat forum. We need someplace to put in incredibly funny parodies of the infamy that is old-school gaming localization.

For example, from one 1337ROX @ GameFAQs:

"What is a bard?" <throws harp> "A miserable little pile of spoons!"

Tell me that isn't funny worthy of its own forum. :D

[Swish]

Haha! Quality.

Surely someone here has the power to sort this new subforum thingy out.

[Terraguy]

I don't think that phrase will ever disappear from the game repertoire.

The question is, is someone willing to make a Gen-Disc forum?

[Myrph]

I would've made the forum a long time ago if i was able to... I think only admins have the power (tommy, sean etc) to do this!

Its a shame i can't utilise the power of Greyskull to get it done...

[Link89]

mmyes. and of course, a forum for wordplay and hall of fame. for example, a typo hall of fame is always awesome for catching the wonderful keyboard mashing we all do on record. Especially when you catch the mods doing it.

*coughutilizecough* ;)


oh, and an essential for any gaming forum is a completed game hall of fame, so that every time we beat a game, we can brag and give our review so that others can try them.
of course, here we need a music discussion thread as well...

[Brainiac]

I don't think that phrase will ever disappear from the game repertoire.

Ah, but which phrase?

[Leontendo]

That's it. I'm gonna contact an admin and see what can be done. ;)

[Terraguy]

Ah, but which phrase?

You spoony bard?

*coughutilizecough*

Myrph's British. They spell things a bit differently.

[Leontendo]

Myrph's British. They spell things a bit differently.
So... are Myrph, Swish and myself the only British people here (apart from those people who don't post much)?

[Terraguy]

Yep, I think you guys are only the regular British posters.

(On a side note, 500 woohoo!)

[Brainiac]

for example, a typo hall of fame is always awesome for catching the wonderful keyboard mashing we all do on record. Especially when you catch the mods doing it.

*coughutilizecough* ;)

Someone hasn't been paying attention to Myrph's country of origin like everyone said. I think there are other Brits around, but they may not be consistent posters.

And congrats, Lord Postmonkey.

[Jakesnke17]

After 10 pages of comments on this thread, it seems as though this has turned into a chat...either that or something slightly less than an email conversation...

Yep, I think you guys are only the regular British posters.

(On a side note, 500 woohoo!)

Yeah, and I'm the only person from Prescott Valley, AZ...:)

Congrats on the 500 posts.

[Link89]

woohoo! I've never been a lord postmonkey before.
if a troll and a lord postmonkey got into a fight, who would win?

Sorry about the typo then, though I thought it was all just extra "e"s on names and the awesome u in words like colour.
I will do my homework (http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwesl/egw/jones/differences.htm) in the future.

[Terraguy]

I don't think I'll burst your bubble then. :D

[Myrph]

Yeah, we've bizarre ways of spelling all sorts of words, although I must admit I've never seen anyone use the work 'Banque' ;pp

Btw congrats on your 500th Post Terraguy ;p

Ya know, I'm surprised that it was my use of the word 'utilise' that grabbed peoples attention and not the reference to Castle Greyskull!

[Terraguy]

Btw congrats on your 500th Post Terraguy ;p

Thanks very much Myrph, Brainiac, and Jakesnke17.

1000, here we come! (*coughnotlikelycough*)

And I don't get the reference....

[Link89]

And I don't get the reference....

thank goodness I'm not the only one. It's dangerous to admit you don't get something in a forum like this sometimes...
Isn't castle greyskull a Heman thing? *hopes he hasn't just said something too stupid*

[Myrph]

Yeah, greyskull is what gives He-Man his powers. I guess it was a bit of a leap considering its a cartoon and not a game!

[Link89]

and...well, not to make any slight upon your person, but you may have been dating yourself. I never saw He-Man as a kid, only my older brother did, and he only just recently appeared to become popular again.
It's not that you're old, just that I'm young. :D

[Brainiac]

woohoo! I've never been a lord postmonkey before.
if a troll and a lord postmonkey got into a fight, who would win?

Sorry, Terraguy is the Lord Postmonkey. His almighty Postscepter shall beat down any troll with a multitude of text-filled postings. :D

[Swish]

*coughutilizecough*

I learned not to play Scrabble against the Americans a long time ago! Monopoly is a much better game to play against them!

Even in our language, we still compete with Britain.

[spt1224]

I would've made the forum a long time ago if i was able to... I think only admins have the power (tommy, sean etc) to do this!

[Myrph]

I've just been waiting on Tommy to chime in and say it's okay... don't want to use my privileges without his permission, though I don't see why he would care....

Thats understandable ;p Its just a little frustrating knowing how infrequently he visits the forum.

Perhaps we should start a new topic to catch his attention... Something big and eyecatching...

[Leontendo]

Actually, I've been on forums where it truly is a miracle if an admin talks to you.

[Terraguy]

Actually, I've been on forums where it truly is a miracle if an admin talks to you.

That's why VGL's forums are so great. The admins are very accessible.

[Brainiac]

Would you prefer TOMMY IS DIVINE EXCELLENCE or TOMMY IS INCARNATE EVIL? :p

[Link89]

How about
TOMMY SEEN WORSHIPPING JENOVA!?

[BurnUnit83]

If Tommy is seen worshipping JENOVA wouldn't that make him a JENOVA's WITNESS?

[Terraguy]

With his lackey Sephiroth?

[BurnUnit83]

Armed with the book "The ShinRa Tower" by President Rufus

[Terraguy]

And his prayer beads nicknamed "Materia".

[Myrph]

Would you prefer TOMMY IS DIVINE EXCELLENCE or TOMMY IS INCARNATE EVIL? :p

Incarnate evil for not giving us general discussion, although he'd be well on his way to divine excellence if if actually gave it to us! ;-)

I'm not sure how being a Jenova's Witness fits with owning a lightcycle though!

[BurnUnit83]

At the rate this particular thread is, this is basically just as good as a Community Chat as it is. We'll eventually be granted what we request, but for now, it all seems to live right here.

[Swish]

Page thirteen. Unlucky for some?

Yeah, at the very least we're having actual conversations here instead of little Q&A sessions.

[Terraguy]

Although it gets kind of cluttered after a while. Oh well.

[Myrph]

Page thirteen? I'm only on page 4, although I think I'm getting about 40 posts a page instead of the forum standard...

It would be nice to have a dedicated forum rather than a single topic, especially considering how many threads of conversation we've had here. If we had any more topic overlap, this whole thread would deteriorate instantly...

[Brainiac]

If Tommy is seen worshipping JENOVA wouldn't that make him a JENOVA's WITNESS?

I already linked VGCats once and now I have to do it again (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=200)...

[BurnUnit83]

I already linked VGCats once and now I have to do it again (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=200)...

I still want the t-shirt, even it it offends.
and I love the expression the guy has when he gets stabbed.

[Terraguy]

I still want the t-shirt, even it it offends.

What t-shirt?

[Leontendo]

Can we just bring up random topics in this thread? :p

[Jakesnke17]

Can we just bring up random topics in this thread? :p

I would think yes...it has pretty much ranged from communist posters to VGCats shirts so...onto the next topic: The new Street Fighter movie, The Legend of Chun-Li? :)


If we had any more topic overlap, this whole thread would deteriorate instantly...

Yeah, it was bound to happen at some point.

[Terraguy]

At least we haven't satisfied Godwin's Law yet about at least referencing Hitler.

Oh wait....

And I don't know about that Street Fighter movie. It doesn't seem very appealing to me. But maybe that's because I didn't really play the game.

[Jakesnke17]

Yeah, the movie itself seems kinda lame, sorry, but after the monstrousity that was the Street Fighter movie of 1994, I have confidence saying...no live-action Street Fighter movie will ever represent the storyline as well as the games. Besides the storyline of Street Fighter isn't really that in-depth.

But maybe that's because I didn't really play the game.

You don't need to play the games to know that the movie is going to be awful.

What t-shirt?

The church of the one winged angel of latter day summons that Scott sells.


and the movie, isn't there already an awesome movie about street fighter?
*BRARGHAUGNUTHAH!*
sorry, the gods of gaming made me vomit my own intestines for saying that.

just don't let Boll be any part of it...

[Swish]

Boll is a legend. You should watch his non-game-related movies. Blackwoods is one of the most hilariously bad thrillers ever committed to film.

Also, I've not seen The Legend of Chun-Li yet. I'm going to wait till it comes out on DVD so I can get away with MSTing it with my mates like I normally do with videogame movies.

There's hardly a plot to ruin in Street Fighter. The anime films are fairly faithful adaptations, and every single one follows the following synopsis:

1) The bad guy is trying to steal the fighting prowess of the world's best martial artists using some bizarre technological macguffin.

2) For some reason they need Ryu's Dark Side of the Force Satsui no Hadou abilities (unless it's Street Fighter II the Animated Movie, in which case they hadn't yet retconned that in, and instead it's just because he's really good), but this doesn't stop them kidnapping or otherwise analysing the skills of other fighters apparently just for the hell of it.

3) All the other major good guys get together to try to find Ryu before the bad guy does. Ryu is being all nomadic and broody somewhere dusty and remote.

4) Ryu is found by both and initially cannot control his Satsui no Hado.

5) Ryu has another go at fighting the bad guy. This time he utilises the Light Side of the Force, and wins. However, he's not sure that he can do it again without loads more training, and he leaves for a nomadic life somewhere dustier and more remote, so that he can brood some more.

[Link89]

However, he's not sure that he can do it again without loads more training, and he leaves for a nomadic life somewhere dustier and more remote, so that he can brood some more.

thus being the perfect hook for...
Prequel!

haha, didn't see that coming did you?

of course, it's all a falshback that ends up being the sequel anyway!
TWIST!

[Leontendo]

I live in the land where you have to wait half a year for anything to arrive here. But I might just watch it if we ever get it... Or maybe I'll import it... :p

[Terraguy]

And now I'm officially lost.

[Myrph]

And now I'm officially lost.

THREE CHEERS!!

HIP HIP!!...

[Terraguy]

THREE CHEERS!!

HIP HIP!!...

Well, I didn't realize that my loss is your gain.... :cool:

[Myrph]

Well, I didn't realize that my loss is your gain.... :cool:

I'm not really sure that anyone really gains from the complete collapse of this topic, not without a complete new board to replace it...

[Terraguy]

I've just been waiting on Tommy to chime in and say it's okay... don't want to use my privileges without his permission, though I don't see why he would care....

We're just waiting on this fella, quoted above.

[Myrph]

That we are... And so we wait...

[Leontendo]

Hey, how about spt1224 just create it? He is an admin after all. I'm sure Tommy won't get mad if the forum is created. If it really is such a bad thing, it can just be removed later.

[Myrph]

I can understand Sean's caution. We were given these mod/admin powers on faith that we would do awesome things with them against the spam bots. Now that situation is pretty much cared for, I for one don't really know what to do with myself besides answer everyone's random questions! I'm sure that Sean probably doesn't want to do anything to upset Tommy, deliberately or not, such that he would lose his position of power. Besides, TT will likely turn up again in the next few days fingers crossed, so hopefully we'll see something... maybe...

[Terraguy]

Well, TT better turn up. I got some unfinished business about the LA concert with him.... :(

(Actually, that just means when the tickets are going on sale.)

[Link89]

if you're on the mailing list, you should just get an email as soon as they're available.

[Leontendo]

I think what he means is that there hasn't been any mention about a concert in LA at all! So, he's probably worried that there won't be one...

[Myrph]

Same for us folks around London... The whole idea of me bringing my girlfriend this year hinges on the fact it would be in London... If its not in London its gonna be an absolute mission trying to attend...

[Terraguy]

Actually, LA meant Los Angeles, not Louisiana. Sorry!

And trust me, I know all about the mailing list. I was referring to ticket sales, as the tour dates page says tickets go on sale today, but nothing as of yet.

[Jakesnke17]

I can't imagine them cancelling a concert in LA, it seems like too much of a hotspot. :D

[hannah66665]

An off topic thread? I love it! :p

Just practically read through this entire thread..Toobad i think i missed the part everyone was discussion DND, just played my first game yesterday..*cough*3rd edition pwns 4th*cough*

I've been wanting a general/offtopic/community section for a long time now. I check this forum all the time but never see anything to post in, and i want to be more active on it..

[BurnUnit83]

Someone finally brought the Amtrak Thread back on track!

It's only a few a year but basically AMTRAK comes up very often. It seems most other trains are fine. Of course, this is US AMTRAK. I don't know a thing about Euro-AMTRAK.

[Terraguy]

Well considering I live in the US, I don't think Euro-Amtrak really applies to me.

[BurnUnit83]

My mistake. I apologize. I have noticed quite a few of the Senior Members were from the UK.

Yes trains are evil...

Where's the Tallarico? We need his approval post-haste. I have a really bad joke that I need to get out of my system as soon as a General Discussion board appears.

EDIT: A new Senior Member approaches!

[Terraguy]

Well, by the stuff that you said, it made it seem like you were addressing the state LA, not the city (FYI, the LA city concert had been announced for a while since that post some time ago).

And welcome to the ranks of the senior member!

(Now, if I beat you with Snake, does that mean you become a part of my Smash entourage?)

[Myrph]

Congrats on being a senior member ;pp

and look! You've magically gained an Avatar! spectacular I must say! ;p

[BurnUnit83]

congrats, I'll follow you shortly my good friend. And if you see my posts, I am not doing it by being a post monkey. =) I try not to reply to my own comments. Though that's certainly an idea.

In fact I will typically edit a comment unless it's been replied to (this would be an exception).

No, but we'll be sure to have AARP contact you shortly. :p

What, another one?

Well, welcome to the team! Soon, you guys shall all take the title for Lord Postmonkey.

[Myrph]

Somehow I don't see anyone usurping your throne, Terraguy!

My seat as Vice-Lord Postmonkey, however, feels very much at risk at the moment and I feel I should be doing more to maintain my lead...

[Link89]

I'll just stay off the radar until I've surpassed everyones count.
It's really my thing to take over silently during the night...

[BurnUnit83]

Well super post monkeies, for my first act as senior... I need to ask a question. How doth one get an avatar? When I go to edit mine it only says I can select none. =(

[Terraguy]

Contact our very helpful moderator, Myrph, to request an avatar for you now!

We're sorry to say that this offer is limited only to those who receive such notice from the company, and will expire in approximately 4 years.

[Brainiac]

Looks like Swish will get there sooner than me; he's begun to pull away. It's a good thing I'm not superstitious or I'd probably be feeling a little disconcerted with my post position (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FourIsDeath)...

Ah TV Tropes. I can spend (waste) whole days on that awesome wiki.

[Myrph]

Dang you are catching up at an alarming rate... Looks like I'm gonna have to go on another posting frenzy to maintain my lead...

And yeah, BurnUnit, if you PM me with a link to the image you wish to use for your avatar (100x100 max, 80x80 preferred) I'd be more than happy to sort it out for you!

Well, if the current trend of people getting avatars hasn't informed you of the process by which you achieve one, perhaps now would be a good time to start researching it!

[Link89]

Pretty sure I get it.
100 legitimate posts,
pm the witty and intelligent mod above,
send link for 80x80 image. Preferably bound to a gem of truesight.

[Terraguy]

Yep, I think that sums it up pretty well.

Unfortunately, once you get the avatar, you can't change it. Not that I'm unhappy with mine. Though I should have made a slightly smoother version...

As soon as you hit 200 posts! ;p








Nah, just PM me the new image link and I'll change it for ya!

[Brainiac]

You know, there's got to be some kind of configuration option to set things so avatar usage unlocks for people at a specific post count. You could look into that if you don't want to be the permanent go-to for that, Myrph.

[Myrph]

There probably is, although i probably wouldn't be in a position to organise it... And to be honest, i don't mind being the go to! Means i'm actually still useful now the spam situation has been sorted! ;-)

[Lasolimu]

Yes, just keep telling yourself that you are still useful. All is going according to plan. Keep thinking you are useful for a little while longer.

[Terraguy]

Yes, just keep telling yourself that you are still useful. All is going according to plan. Keep thinking you are useful for a little while longer.

SHHH! What are you doing?! You're not supposed to tell him that! :D

I'm pretty sure the setting is available to admins only; not mods. I may be wrong though.

[Myrph]

Yeah, there is surprisingly little that mods are actually able to do besides delete spam, rearrange topics in the forum and give people avatars... oh and post announcements should I ever feel the need...

[Swish]

Like, "ANNOUNCEMENT: Still no General Discussion board".

Come on, Tallarico, you just need to glance at this 189 post long thread and reply with the word, "yes".

[Link89]

for serial. We freaking made posters and a song.

Its all we've ever wanted,
Its all we've ever needed, yeah
so tell us what to do now
for community chat

[Leontendo]

Well, I probably won't be changing my avatar for a while. Thing is that I actually lost the MII file I used for it. I could just retrieve it again, but Nintendo have probably issued an update preventing you from doing that... Actually, I could just recreate the image file...

Anyway, I'm confused as to why this topic is being ignored by the VGL team. Unless they're going to surprise us sometime and just add it.

[Brainiac]

10-11-2006, seriously.

[Terraguy]

Hey, don't worry about it. After all, I only joined...uh...ignore what I just said.

[Link89]

well, in your defence, there isn't a TON of discussion on here.

heck my last forum only ever had 12 active members tops and I had over 4k posts in three years.

[Terraguy]

You think now there isn't a ton of discussion here? You should've seen a couple of months ago. There was no discussion due to spam bots spamming the forum.

[Link89]

Yeah, I got that from looking at the member list. There's a few members along the lines of "Canadian Pharmacy" that are either dead bots, or really cool usernames.

[Swish]

'89, don't forget you can PM Myrph for an avatar now. Make it a good one.

A bit dead here, no?

Everyone at a loss for things to say, hm?

Need a General Discussion subforum, right?

Still, we can't expect Tommy to come on here and approve that while GDC is still going on. Busy, busy times.

So.

To pass the time, what's everyone playing at the moment?

Persona 4 for me mainly.

Going through Resident Evil 5 on co-op right now and also Star Ocean: The Last Hope. I'm also throwing in CoD: WaW just to play nazi zombies.

[Lasolimu]

It's sad, I don't have the time to play games anymore.:( Of course, even if I did have time, I wouldn't know what to play.

[Terraguy]

Heh, I ran through the entire Resident Evil 5 co-op in one night with a friend. That was intense.

Currently, I'm meshing out my John Shepard in Mass Effect.

[Leontendo]

I'm playing Final Fantasy III and Castlevania Judgment. Believe it or not, the latter isn't actually as bad as some people have said!

[wareagle884]

I'm playing Final Fantasy III and Castlevania Judgment. Believe it or not, the latter isn't actually as bad as some people have said!

To the former, if you need a hand unlocking the Mognet extras (like the Onion Knight), PM me.

To the latter, it's not that Judgment is bad as much as it's not good. Plus some of the "humor" kinda falls flat and seems stupid.

[Link89]

I'm currently working on filling out my chart in Wind Waker, oddly enough I've never finished the game even....anyone know where to find the Ghost Ship Chart?

[khfan]

I think it's somewhere in the cave on Diamond Steppe Island, but it's been awhile since i played it so sorry if that doesn't help...

[Leontendo]

Is that so? Most of what I've heard has been right down the middle. Not that bad, but not that good either. I watched some videos of it on Youtube and honestly wasn't that impressed. I'm still curious though.
I think the two major criticizms are:

1. The graphics
2. The control scheme

My solutions:

1. You can turn on the smoothing. It makes it slightly blurrier, but it does make a big difference

2. I don't think it's actually too bad. But if waggling is not your style, you can always use a Classic Controller or GameCube controller.

To the former, if you need a hand unlocking the Mognet extras (like the Onion Knight), PM me.

To the latter, it's not that Judgment is bad as much as it's not good. Plus some of the "humor" kinda falls flat and seems stupid.
Nah, I'm fine, thanks.

[Swish]

Yeah, the Ghost Ship Chart is on Diamond Steppe Island, which is right in the middle of the furthest West and Southernmost but one map square. It's been ages since I played that game. Do your own GameFAQs search next time.

I spent last night belatedly going through about a third of Gears of War 2 on co-op. Ah, I'd missed the good old days of MSTing crap cutscenes over Live headsets.

But Persona 4 still owns my soul.

[wareagle884]

I spent last night belatedly going through about a third of Gears of War 2 on co-op. Ah, I'd missed the good old days of MSTing crap cutscenes over Live headsets.

Love doing that. It's some of the most fun you can have in gaming, in my opinion. A friend of mine and I riffed Dynasty Warriors 6 and then did the same with Resident Evil 5 on co-op.

[Brainiac]

Ah, I'd missed the good old days of MSTing crap cutscenes over Live headsets.

Someone needs to watch Unskippable (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/unskippable).

But Persona 4 still owns my soul.

You're not the only one, I'm sure. P3 and P4 are excellent games. The rumor is since they did so well, Atlus is considering finally given non-Japanese gamers both parts of P2; they're already working on a PSP remake of the original Persona.

[Swish]

Someone already watches Unskippable.

Someone thinks they started out a bit weak, and someone finds their repeated misuse of the term "stock footage" incredibly frustrating, but someone has really liked a lot of their more recent riffing.

Dunno who though.

[Brainiac]

Someone knows how to be incredibly insufferable by continuing usage of third-person nomenclature.

Of course, said someone is British, so being insufferable is par for the course... <ducks various thrown objects>

:p

[Myrph]

One is utterly shocked that there are those who are loathe to use the third person. One finds that it is the most pleasurable verb form to both think and speak in, something one must admit to being guilty of.

That being said, one would wonder if it would be worth attempting to glean a copy of Persona 4 (this being as one recently saw a copy of said game in a local game outlet).

[Swish]

I was only using the word "someone" because that's how Brainiac referred to me.

Also, yes it would be worth it. I'd go off on one about how good it is, but I'm saving that for a blog post once I'm a bit further in (I've only played a mere 28 hours so far).

[Brainiac]

Actually, I'm curious as to how much P4 owns your soul, Swish. Does it own it enough that you'll get the Persona PSP remake despite the old-school Persona games being a fair bit different from the new-school ones?

[Swish]

Pre-P3 i was a MegaTen virgin. I want to explore the whole franchise - not just Persona - in every direction it's ever gone.

That's how I roll.

[Link89]

Yeah, the Ghost Ship Chart is on Diamond Steppe Island, which is right in the middle of the furthest West and Southernmost but one map square. It's been ages since I played that game. Do your own GameFAQs search next time.

Hey,

I've been away from the forums for a few weeks. Anything of substance in this thread or elsewhere that needs my attention?

[Myrph]

WOO-HOO! Finally back to more posts than Swish! You're next, Myrph! MWA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAA! :p


How appropriate you fight like a cow!

but yeah, you're not gonna overtake me any time soon, not if I can help it ;p

Also, bought Persona 4 yesterday, though haven't yet had a chance to play it. Soundtrack is interesting though!!

Nothing hugely memorable has happened recently Sean, unless anyone else remembers anything... Still haven't got a general discussion board yet though...


Edit: Okay, I just looked at my post count compared to yours and actually you're closer than I thought! Maybe I ought to go posting again! See if I can't hit the 400 mark ;p

[Swish]

A quick roundup of recent events:

- Tommy still hasn't popped up to give the go-ahead for a General Discussion subforum, though is currently presumably rather busy. That's not really an event, rather a continued non-event.

- Terraguy got banned for a day as a joke.

- Myrph's girlfriend told him, "We're doing it round your house because I don't want to get paint everywhere in my new place."

See? It is funnier out of context.

[Myrph]

You really were determined to take that one out of context weren't you! I agree though, it is funnier when taken out of context.

Also the whole deal with the Terraguy getting banned thing was due to stuff happening with Terraguy, such that he didn't want to be distracted by VGL and getting banned was the easiest way to do it.

In other news, Woo 400 ;p

[Terraguy]

Hey, don't spoil the fun! *shakes fist*

Sounds like the roundup is quite correct though.

[Brainiac]

How appropriate you fight like a cow!

Tsk, tsk. Improper application of the retort. I've got to at least make an insult first.

Hmmmm, which to use...perhaps...

"Give up now, or I'll crush you like a grape!"
"You're a disgrace to your species, you're so undignified!"
"My tongue is sharper than any sword!"

..and one of my personal favorites...

"Hey, look over there!"

:D

[Myrph]

Tsk, tsk. Improper application of the retort. I've got to at least make an insult first.

"Hey, look over there!"

:D

"I would if it would stop your WINE-ing"
(No fair, that's one of Captain Rottingham's insults) "At least mine can be identified!"
(And one of the sword-master's insults!) "First you better stop waving it around like a feather duster!"

And brilliant choice ;pp
"Yeah, Yeah, I know, a three-headed monkey!"

[Brainiac]

Okay, now respond without checking an MI fansite/hintbook with an insult list. :p

"You're no match for my brains, you poor fool." (Appropriate, no?)
"Every word you say to me is stupid."
"You can't match my witty repartee!"
"I can't tell which of my traits has you the most intimidated!"

"You can't match my witty repartee!"
"I can't tell which of my traits has you the most intimidated!"

Damn, the second one I can't remember (Its been too long since I've played MI1)

but the rest:

"I'd be in trouble if you ever used them!"
"I would but you were always running away!"
"Your odour alone leaves me aggravated, agitated and infuriated!"

[Brainiac]

"I wanted to make sure you'd feel comfortable with me."

Though if you're just a regular pirate, crying foul for using a Sword Master insult is okay too (however, you still lose ground before my thrust and parry).

[Myrph]

Although technically since I've already given comebacks for the rest I would've defeated you anyway. But, yes you bested me with that one! Good thing I've managed to get SoMI working on my Ipaq now so I can play through it again!

NEVERTHELESS!!

OOP, ACK, EEK! I adopt the Bobbing Baboon!

[Brainiac]

You lose by default since you've actually attempted to utilize Monkey Kombat beyond the minimum required amount.

[Myrph]

Hey, I actually enjoyed Monkey Kombat somewhat... It was different and vaguely interesting... ;p

But yeah, I suppose you're probably right!

[Link89]

I'm afraid that's going to be $40 in consulting fees, an extra $20 per hour for information acquisition, and an additional $50 for rendering of services. Oh, and toss in another $15 for extra labor.


...wow, I'll get right on that...
...can't I just let you whoop my butt on brawl or something?

I haven't even gotten to play the game since then funnily enough.

[Swish]

We have to charge you on late response.

That's another $30.

EDIT: Post #400!

... So you owe me some kind of courtesy donation to celebrate as well.

$400.

[Myrph]

Congrats ;p Its about time you hit that one!

As an aside, however, if you want payment I feel I should demand payment for myself and for Brainiac! If you could pay myself £400, plus late fees for missing the actual moment I achieved it, plus an additional $400 for Brainiac, plus late fees, it would be greatly appreaciated!

Oh, and the $600-odd you owe Terraguy too... Can't forget him!

[Link89]

...

I'm going to have to sell myself into slavery at this point.

at least I'm still paying in dollars, they're not worth a lot.

:D:D:D:D:D

[Terraguy]

Hey, $600?

I think I need to demand $700 soon.

Hmm...beat you in Brawl or $700....

I'll take the PS3 and Xbox360, thanks. :D

Terraguy - the epitome of a practical gamer. :p
