Nah. Many of our posts are along those lines, but they are still read, nonetheless. I think FIGMENTUM was on the right track when he guessed it is because people simply don't know the answer. That is definitely the reason I don't reply, lest I end up wasting a post to tell you something that could be assumed by the absence of a reply. I never owned any sega systems. The only classic systems I owned (and still own) are NES, SNES, and N64 (is it a classic yet?).

I wondered if I would ever see my old number 2 spot again. Last time I was here, it was old Recon that was in front of me. Ah, the old days. Now that I think about it, it seems like everyone has had the number 1 spot but me, and yet I've been number 2 more than anyone else. Gotta love that system -.-.

Is that even possible?

Yes, and it isn't the first time.

You don't know him on the level I do.

Red, have you played Fallout yet?

Yes, and I'm quite enjoying it. I'm a little concerned, though. I only have about 75 days left to get the water chip back to vault 13 and I haven't even found it yet.

Thanks for the reassurance _redruM_. Now I can quit worrying.

Worry not. We may have our dips and spills here and there in terms of our activity, but I don't see us stopping altogether anytime soon.

It is unnecessarry, pointless and juvenile, but it won't be the end for this club. This is far from the first time it has happened around here, and unfortunately, probably not the last. However, we've always managed to persevere through it, and I'm sure this time is no different.

Perhaps not the best way to pass the time.

If you knew me you'd realize that I never take things seriously

Not a good thing.

but I made the stupid mistake of posting that way without considering the fact that you don't (know me)

Much like 99% of the population. Even if he did know that about you, it still doesn't mean he would like it.

It was pretty late and I was bored as hell, stirring shit up seemed like a good thing to do at the time, obviously it wasn't. =P

It never is.

No one asked you. =P

Now who can't comprehend a figurative statement?

Oh wait, still sulking over me not going there on sunday? Go cry about it. =D

Get over yourself, I was busy the whole weekend in the first place. The whole reason I started that conversation with you and Rob was because I was planning on getting some blank CDs and was wondering if either of you would have liked anything burned. Unfortunately, you felt the need then also to make a completely unnecessarrily rude remark out of... What was it? Boredom?

Seriously though, I might be more interested if everyone quit being so damn cheap and we started jamming again,

The whole reason it stopped is because in a way you were being cheap by not wanting to play anything I suggested, and yet not suggesting anything yourself.

I play enough video games here as it is I don't need to go over there to do it.

The same could be said about playing guitar.

To the best of my knowledge, it is the same rank as they had prior to MIA status. At least that's how I've always worked it.

Yes, you do. There are a few promotions in order according to that list, but you'll have to wait for the next one to see them in place.

At 11/21/04 05:28 AM, Alkador wrote: Then I can ask you...where did you get it?

Ebay.

At 11/20/04 07:40 PM, Pure_Greatness wrote: Fresh out of it's box just like the rest of those games you've been buying lately, eh? Have you figured out what the problem with AoE was yet?

Hehe, yeah. This was 100% legal, though. As for AOE, no I haven't figured out the problem, but one thing I do know is that I can recall that the same thing used to happen with MW3. One might assume, therefore, that it isn't an uncommon problem.

At 11/21/04 12:02 AM, JackOfShadows wrote: You sure did get that game fast. Is it Fallout I or II? Anyway good luck with it.

They both came in a bundle, but I installed 2.

At 11/20/04 03:36 PM, JackOfShadows wrote:

Jack, my friend, I have news for you. Fallout is fresh out of it's box and newly installed on my computer. I will give you my opinion once I've had enough time with it.

"Justin, what does 'boing' mean?"

It's true though, I really discovered this back when I took my IQ test. They kept giving me series of numbers and had me repeat them forwards and backwards. I think I got up to about 13 or 14 numbers when they just decided to move on. The end result was that I was in the 99th percentile for memory of figures.

Certainly an influx of people trying to join as of late, it's a pity barely any of them actually attempt to post here again after that initial request.

Get used to it. It's always been quite a trend around here.

The idea of making a game has always intrigued me. I have pretty much no programming knowledge or anything of that sort, and I sure as hell can't draw, but I do have a plethora of ideas.

At 11/19/04 10:14 PM, Pure_Greatness wrote: It's funny you should bring that up, because I'm working on something very similar to that right now. Although, I plan to do all the work myself, I'm not sure about anyone elses interest in your proposition.

Oh, now you tell me. Well, I've always offered my ideas to you, so they're there if you should be interested.

At 11/19/04 07:22 PM, FIGMENTUM wrote: I consider it more of an adventure game with RPG elements. You can upgrade your stats but there's definitely no room for open-ended gameplay. "Go here, do this. Alter your mission in any way and you fail."

Exactly what I thought. The gameplay itself is somewhat open-ended in that you can go almost anywhere (so long as the area is unlocked) and interact with the environment in any way you like, but as you said, the missions are entirely linear.

I'm going on a second week of work placement next week and this time I'm changing my living conditions also. Unfortunately these new conditions don't include internet access. I'd like to request MIA status for one week. That's not this week (I'm not trying to get out of dropping down to rare), but the next.

It will be done.

It is the same 5 members who make up the Council.

At 11/19/04 07:34 PM, MortalGoku wrote: May i join?

Just follow these 4 easy steps:

1.) State your reason for wanting to join.
2.) List your five favourite RPGs.
3.) Give us a valid email address we can reach you at.
4.) Post here at least 5 times over a 1 week trial period.

Once you have completed steps 1-3, your trial will officially begin.

At 11/19/04 05:33 PM, Pure_Greatness wrote: Says 2001 on the box, but I didn't exactly buy it when it first came out so I'm not too sure. It's dirt cheap to buy, though the main problem you might run into is locating it in stores. Even when I picked up my second copy of the game about a year ago, it was nearly impossible to find and when I did find a store that had it, it was their only copy. If you ever get the chance to buy it you probably should though, because it's a great game.

I got this computer (and Nox along with it) in 2000, so it must have been out by then. Actually, I just looked into it and it was released 1/31/2000.

Heh, no big deal. I have a superb memory when it comes to names, and figures and such. I can easily remember 10 digit phone numbers without writing them down, and I usually just can't forget it even if I try. I have a bad memory when it comes to other things though.

At 11/19/04 05:33 AM, Alkador wrote: Since you're talking about Nox, how old is the game? I'm curious and have too much time on my hands, which is dangerous for everyone, everything.

The name rings a bell.

I'm pretty sure it was made in 2000.

Jordan is his younger brother.

Anyways, is there anyone here who wold consider Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas an RPG?

No. Although, in some respects, it does come close.

That's very much. That advice is actually really good.

Anyway, does anyone know where I can find stuff out about Fallout 3? I've heard that it's being made but I'm not sure.

As I've been preaching, Bethesda is the company who is making it, so you can check out any information here.

Shit, that's what it was called. I remember now.

Heh, I lost the CD key when I first moved here, so I just said to hell with it and tracked down and bought a totally new copy of the game.

You bastard. Well, I may have to look into an alternative way of getting it.

At 11/17/04 11:51 PM, JackOfShadows wrote: Haven't written here for a while.

redruM, do you have a fast connection? If so there is a way for you to download Fallout for free but I won't got into details in this thread since I'm not sure of just how legal this way is.

Funny you should mention, Jack. I was getting fallout that way, but then my girlfriend decided to get them for me off ebay for our anniversary. Although, I did manage to get AOE 2 and Warcraft 3 (even though I can't run it, FUCK) that way.

Anyway, I've just beat Nox with a warior. I know Nox is actualy just hack and slash but it's close enoough to an RPG and it's uber fun. Wish me luck with the wizard story line.

I remember my days with Nox. Like Pure_Greatness, I finished it many times with all characters, but I'm pretty sure my favourite would have to be the one between warrior and wizard, can't remember what it was called...

At 11/18/04 12:13 AM, Pure_Greatness wrote: Thanks for reminding me I just might go install it again...

Aw, you bastard. That's the one game that I lost way back when. It's in this house somewhere.

It's only fair to the other members that I bring this to your attention, even if it means dropping a frequency rank. However by some twist of fate I've been given another chance to keep my #6 spot on the list thanks to Alkador. Sorry psykolord, you win some, you lose some ;-)

*Hangs head in shame at his error* Of course, you could have just taken the rank and ran off laughing, but I commend your honesty for not doing so. Fortunately, as you said, you still get to keep your current spot. So it isn't all bad.

Well it certainly took you a very long time to drop to uncommon. It could just as easily take you a very long time to drop to rare.

Evidently not. You may only be promoted over those directly in front of you, and to do so, you need to be two or more frequency ranks higher.

That person would need to drop two frequency ranks below you in order for you to be eligible for promotion over them.

Glad to see you back. I was going to suggest re-implementing your MIA status in the upcoming list, but luckily there is no need now. You can start counting the posts whenever you like, but are aware that it isn't posted till saturday or sunday, right?
