I think I saw another thread along these lines, but they don't pay me enough to care...so here's my own thread:With the haunting song on the edge of hearing, rounding the corner in Pokemon Snap, and seeing that Jigglypuff singing his heart out. Beautiful. When Floyd gives his life for you in Planetfall...and the tearful reunion when he's resurrected. I was moved. No shit. The first time you see the "DIE FREEMAN DIE!" graffiti in Half-Life... When that green guy smashes your windshield for the first time in Rescue on Fractulus...scared the Hell out of me and made me nervous about playing the game from then on. Finally getting that damn Babel fish in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In the same game, realizing that the game would actually LIE to you...on purpose...and enjoy it! The classic unveiling of the chainsaw in Doom. I still distinctly remember the first time I found it. We all used to play in the office after hours and link up with speaker phones so we could stay in touch. I hit the button and said "What the Hell's that??" and every else started screaming "What, what?" "What did you do??". And then I picked it up with a hearty "Aw, yeah!" and chased everyone down with it, even tho we were supposed to be in co-op mode. They'd hear the motor idling and start to sweat, and for a very short while, I was the only one who knew where it was. Total chaos on the phone system as the chain slicing thru meat sound would blot out everything but the loudest screams of the person getting it up the ass...and everyone else who didn't see it first hand panicking while they tried to figure out what the fucking green marine was packin'... Great stuff. [This message has been edited by Mr. K (edited 04-05-2001).]

These threads, these I like.See, for me, video games aren't about these cool experiences you can have sitting there playing a 1-player game. "Oh look. The developers programmed this game to do something clever. Yay." Video games are competitve things for me. On with my greatest moments... Hearing the shit-talking all thru the line at my first Pokémon Chromatics Training Tour, and fearing the opposition. Then, proceeding to go undefeated all day without losing a single Pokémon and being accused of "cheating" because "Starmie can't learn Thunderbolt! It's a Water-type!" At gaming parties in Overland Park, finally getting off the super-sweet team attacks with Biffster during marathon sessions of Super Smash Bros. This game can be played 2v2 all day and all night long. I take the 'Chu, Biffster makes with the 'Puff, and we show people how it's done. For instance, I'll set it up by Tail Whipping the shits up into the air, while Biffster drives them down with a Drill Kick back into Pikachu's Upchuck Spark (Over+A Smash Attack) which either kills them, or sets up me guarding the edge with Biffster subduing the other player to keep it clear. You knew it had to be here somewhere, and here it is. Get a family room setup with one television, one Dreamcast, 2 controllers, and 4-8 players for the ever-famous SoulCalibur round-robin. Draw for playing order, and set 2 people up. Best of 5 round matchup, loser goes to the end of the line, winner stays in. We did this with the whole Overland Park League once, and I beat the whole line once, and then some, before being KO'd by the kid who'd never played before cuz...uh...I kinda got too cocky. ^_^ Coming back to Overland Park over Spring Break and getting a chance to strut the stuff in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. You would not believe how cool this game can be, even just to watch. What kicks more ass is if you're the one making them say "How the fuck did you land that?!?!" Being on a Tag Team with kikered in Dead or Alive 2. For a time, the two of us were sorta established as the best around, but now I've gotten shittier (I'm actually having to practice so I'm ready for YS2K1) and I don't know about kikered. He's prolly still got it. We crushed all opponents in our paths when they let us play together; usually 5-0, 5-1, or the occaisonal 5-2 if dicking around was done. Competing with TeeJay for months in Star Fox 64 attempting to find the best route thru the game for the best scores. The multiplayer dogfight in Fox was kinda weak, I thought, since you were basically only as good as where you spawned (i.e. close to the Smart Bomb or Twin Lasers), so Score Competitions were my way to go. Shit, I can't even remember what my best was; I'll hafta pick it up later and check it out. Going to a computer arcade in Aurora and playing in an 18-player game of Counter-Strike in which the player with the highest score gets $5. Sure, it's not much, but everyone likes cash, so they all play harder, making the bragging rights that much sweeter. Biffster and MiniJoe were there; they saw me. I was owning some serious ass, killing dummies left and right, and leading with under 3 minutes left, only to get one-upped by a fag who camped with a sniper rifle at the end. Ah well. 2 outta 18 ain't too bad. Plus, those kids play more CS than I do (pretty hard thing to do). Playing against these two kids who are a couple years older than me in 2v2 matches of NBA Hangtime with TeeJay as my teammate. All of us were hooked on the game like crack back then, and everyone had maxed stat players (my guy's record now is like 130-14...goddamn cheating CPU...). Anyway, we'd jockey back and forth for position all game, but TeeJay and I usually had 'em down about 5 most of the time. Knocking down the treys, stuffing the fools, dumping 'em flat on their asses and knowing where TeeJay would be downcourt (moving around offscreen in those games gives you a big edge) to chuck it to him for the fastbreak dunk was so cool. The funniest part was when they'd grab TeeJay's neck and make with the choking after we won and Tee talked smack. Good stuff. Playing pretty much anyone in NBA Showtime with Biffster on my team. We use our characters, and they have pretty decent stats (maxing stats got a lot harder in Showtime) and let Opponent X and Opponent Y use a hacked player with full stats, and still kick ass. I dunno what happened with Showtime, but nobody ever wants to play it anymore. I actually like it better than Hangtime (DC version only; I've played the PSX and N64 ones and they're total shit) because spin-moves actually help your game, the shit-talk is hilarious, stealing is slightly more controlled (altho not enough to make it no fun), and the player models for created dudes kick serious ass. Why must you fellows all hate this game?! Net Smash Aces with Shy Guy in Mario Tennis. Hifuckinglarious, the sound he makes. Playing with people in Counter-Strike that actually seem to understand the concept of "teamwork." There's nothing more beautiful than a flank that actually works because the frontline was able to hold out long enough rather than running around like a fuck and getting picked off by snipers. Uh, yeah. That was kinda long. ------------------ Daddy-would-you-like some sausage? Daddy-would-you-like some sausage? [This message has been edited by StarCaliber (edited 04-05-2001).]

*surprised by the good topic in Karp, but then realizes its by K, so that's the reason it doesn't suck*Being an avid gamer, I know and praise many great momemts in gaming. However, I am sure that many of you are familiar with most of them, so I shall state one that would otherwise probably go unrecognized. One of the greatest moments ever in a video game came from Wild ARMs, the first one. If you are planning on playing it, do not read as it will ruin one of the coolest things ever. The three are on the demons' ship, and the destruct mechanism is set. Rudy moves to stop it, but is trapped by an unbreakable thread. They have only seconds to flee, but Rudy stays, hacking at the thread with his life. The demon laughs, mocking how no flimsy human metal could ever break it. He stops hacking for only a moment, then resumes. *tries to swallow drool* The demon acts confused and horrified all at once. "What are you doing? No, not- not your-" Rudy falls back, free of the thread. Most of him, anyway. Still on the end of it is his arm. Then it all leads up to Rudy being a robot (or close to it) and whatnot, which would have been cooler if you didn't see it coming (stupid old man's logs). Greatest FF moment ever: Cloud tossin' Seph into the depths of a mako reactor while a sword is going through him. ------------------ Visit Reality's End, the Home Page of Phantasy and the R.E.

Hmmmmm....The opera in Final Fantasy 6. Quite good. Whenever you discover a new plot twist in Xenogears. Beating Master Hand in Very Hard mode with 1 life and no continues in Super Smash Bros. The rare moment kikered loses in Pokemon Puzzle League When Fish came. Yes, Fish will love the boldness of his name. The last ending in ChronoTrigger. The battle with Magus in ChronoTrigger, both the first time and the duel with Frog. Tossing Bowser over the edge in Mario 64. Tossing the Overland Park league around a bit in Goldeneye. When someone walks into a Prox Mine and sets off a chain of mines around the room that you cleverly placed in Goldeneye. Killing someone with a Steyr Scout in Counterstrike. Just playing one-player Half-life. Watching Biffster's 100 or so Mutalisks fly towards their next unlucky target in StarCraft. Beating an Amazon that's a higher level than you in Diablo 2. Defeating certain national champs on PBS. The restoration of PBS. Beating a kid, his brother, and his rival all within a span of 10 minutes at the [b}Stadium Tour,[/b] then being worshipped. Running into 10K at the Stadium Tour. When kikered uses "Rage" in Super Smash Bros. The beating of 2 older kids in NBA Hangtime with StarCaliber, mentioned above. Watching Garnet summon Alexander in Final Fantasy 9. Blowing stuff up in MechWarrior 3. Getting to actually use your sword fighting skills in Zelda: Majora's Mask. Fighting the Mana Beast in Secret of Mana. Oh, look at the time, gotta go! ------------------ [Playing Tony Hawk] TJ: "Hey, Biffster's got a hundred thousand." SC: "I can get TEN hundred thousand."

Oh geez... Where do I start? I'm not going to right a book like our friend SoulCaliber.Jet Grind Radio Nothing can duplicate this crazy experence. Chasing nutz around the street and spray painting them has to be the best part of this game. The soundtrack rocks as well. Parasite Eve Flaming Horse Cinema... nuff said. BTW PE2 sucked. Conker's Bad Fur Day This game is mad tyte. The single player is the best I've ever seen on a 3D adventure game cause it accually runs like a huge story. The multiplayer is good, but it is restrained by the N64's aging hardware. Mark my words, Rare will own the GameCube. I'll post some more later.

Too many..Earthbound(SNES), finding new characters, especially the one I named "Poo". That was very fun. Whenever one joined, testin' out it's skills and whatnot. With your life rolling down on the HP bar, making a move as fast as you can to recover. Very cool. Great game, humorous, a comical realistic yet out of this world game. Sercret of Mana. Playing this game with my friend Jimmy for litterally 4 days in a row, eating one meal a day, and sleepin 13 hours total. This was prolly my best gaming experience ever. The original Zelda. Beating this game when I was 5, seeing there was a new map. Beating that map. Seeing there was a new one again. Then beating that map and saying fuck it after 3 years. When I was 8, I realized it would prolly never stop. Playing NBA Jam TE with my dad on our arcade machine downstairs as a team. This was great. Our initials were, well still are, "Dad" and "Son". 54-0. That was just too fun. He wasn't the best, so I had to carry the team along. 4P smash at my friend's uncles house. This was incredible. I had to wrestle kids bigger then me in order to play it...and I'm a shitty wrestler. We had shitloads of food, over one hundred cans of pop/beer (which we stole a bit of) and 6 people. I beat the best three there, besides me, 3on1. And trust me, they were pretty good. Hmm, Chromatics. Like I said in a previous thread, staying home from school faking the flu, sticking my finger down my throat to throw up so they'd let me stay home, just to play this game. Then discovering azure, becoming good, and losing to the national champion because my fucking snorlax was FP 4 times in a row. What are the odds of that? Hmm, that's all I have now. I'll edit this later.

...losing to the national champion because my fucking snorlax was FP 4 times in a row. What are the odds of that?Around 1/(4^4) = 1/256 = the odds of missing with swift = the odds the high CH moves don't CH >> the odds of rest failing (see Mr. K's history of bullshit). Which doesn't excuse the fact that it's mad fucking gay. Of course, in TCG I've seen strings of coin flips go against me 11 or 12 times in a row, which is at least 1/2048. I never even played that much (but that game had a randomizer about as random as an old woman you ask to call out "Heads" or "Tails" repeatedly, but after five of them she forgets that "Tails" was a choice)... When your luck is as wierd as mine, you stop paying attention. Of course the stadium odds might be different... I've seen some wierd shit go on there, but that might just be the computer deciding to be gay. ------------------ -cfalcon "Does the phrase "Hotmail Session Ended" sound vulgar to either of you?" -pkthunder

Getting any NES game to work after blowing, shaking, reseting, etc.First TCG tour: learning the power of Mewtwo and realizing it must be stopped w/o using a Mewtwo of my own. First Pokemon tour: some kid was beating everyone all day, then I whooped him. Some hotel room in Long Beach involving Fanny. Playing Secret of Mana with a buddy.

In Adventure (aka Colossal Cave, the original text-based adventure, that people used to play on mainframes, before most of them even had monitors attached), any moment when you first stumble across a room with a really cool description. You know you're on to something, because when going through familiar rooms, the description is usually hanging around in RAM. When you hit something new, the floppy drive sounds like it's trying to do origami with the disk. I remember with when I first found the volcano room and the screen was awash with phosphor-trail, I did a perfect Keanu... "Woah.".Making it to one of the really dark levels in Dig Dug (arcade), where it's all blue and violet. You feel like you're a mile underground. Playing a game of (I think) Smash TV (SNES?) with a friend of mine. As an analogue to the dual joysticks from the arcade, you could use the D-pads on both controllers: one to move, one to shoot. We came up with a co-operative mode where I'd move and he'd shoot. You know how occasionally you somehow make it through a scrape so bad that you can't believe you're still alive, and almost drop the joystick? That happened to us about 6 times, right in a row. The entire room was filled with guys - we somehow carved a path that was like exactly the width of our player. The only reason we died was that I started laughing uncontrollably. In Z:OoT (N64), when you wake from your 7 year (IIRC) sleep, and your beautiful village is filled with monsters. I was so pissed off, and I remember thinking, "I'm going to find the motherfucker who did this (as if I didn't know), and cram a Master Sword straight up his ass." In Z:MM (N64), the first time I waited right until the end, in that Anju (Anja?) chick's room, not knowing that I hadn't done the wedding mask thing right. With that sad music playing, and the chick waiting there so patiently, I finally realized that it wasn't happening. When I time-warped out of there, I felt like such a sleazeball, and like, almost literally swore that I'd fix things. The first time an enemy soldier throws one of your grenades back at you in Half-Life.

You are too damn cool.Hmmm, great moments. Well, nothing is quite like taking out the entire opposing team on Counter Strike when you are the only one left on your team and four, five, hell, maybe even seven opponents go down to you. Just your lobe against all them. Anticipating what other live humans will do in the field of combat, strategizing every move, keeping that gun steady...oh the glory. The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time...that's pretty much all I need to say there. Of course the reason we are all here, Pokemon. Everything about the game, the first time you played through it, your first link battle win, every close battle you've ever had, and if you're so lucky, those mall tours. Gotta love it. quote: Originally poster by cfalcon: When your luck is as wierd as mine, you stop paying attention.
We'll get rid of that nasty habit someday.EDIT - How could I have omited the night in Long Beach after the event on the St. Anne. MewtwoSama, AznExplosN, Apophis, and myself...perhaps even to a lesser extent Fanha...all chillin', playing Pokemon Stadium and Perfect Dark. That was a good time. And if I include that, I sure as fuck can't omit my trip to Overland Park, and the massive gaming orgies with the likes of StarCaliber, Biffster, TeeJay, MiniJoe, kikered, and more. YS2K1 will prove to be a good time. ----------------- [This message has been edited by Fish151PKMN (edited 04-06-2001).]

When I beat Brandon in Houston. I'm not sure how I can get the feeling across to ya'll, but it was pure glee. I was this little guy, confronting a big bad Nintendo Rep with his own run of the mill strategies, and blah blah blah I know ya'll heard it a million times.When Zidane's friends came to save him, during the Not Alone track in FFIX. When all of Skies of Arcadia united to help Vyse fight the evil empires armada. When Ganon came back to life in ZOoT. That scared the shiznut outta me. When I first learned how to fly in Super Mario Brothers 3. Those were so awesome. ::sniff:: Meeting Fish for the first time aboard the St. Anne, and realizing that he was the dude that passed me in the Air Port. Meeting Al, and his phat assed persona. Al is just a good guy, and I'd hang out with him any day of the week. Getting to know the phat styles of StarCaliber and Biffster. These two have personalities unmatched, styles all their own, and will continue to influence the world in their pymp'n ways. And finaly- "Realizing that true mastery of the Pokemon game is only attained after seeing the serious flaws of the game and accepting it's ugly fate." I think.... ------------------ ************ BiffsterPKMN: I'm aznexplosn, I'm a panzy and I like to write instead of play the best game in the world [This message has been edited by AznExplosN (edited 04-06-2001).]

Psybro: You played [HHGTTG] all the way through without a walkthrough guide?Well, actually I did order the guide from Infocom, to get past the part where the game lied to you, but by the time the guide had come in, I'd already gotten past it. They did guides right back then...they had questions and you'd use a pen with magic ink to make the appropriate answers appear...so you couldn't just browse thru the book and ruin the whole game. And, they wouldn't just tell you the answer, they'd give you a few hints, starting off with very general ones. There were also fake questions thrown in, to further throw you off the trail, just in case you wanted to cheat that way. I eventually read all the answers, because some of them were just too damn funny, but not until I beat the game. Wintermute: ...Adventure... Yeah, I remember that one! Altho I get it confused with Zork. I remember that we had one copy of Adventure in class, and I'd play it on an Apple ][ (state of the art!). No one had hard drives back then, and I couldn't save my game on the generic floppy, so I'd have to start over each time. XYZZY? I clearly remember seeing my first adventure game in a Radio Shack on a TRS-80. It was something about a haunted house. I played it for about 20 minutes and my career as a geek was sealed. ...Smash TV... A classic game! Total Carnage was awesome, too. I'd have to rank beating these games in the arcade up there with the other great moments. Sometimes my superior at work and I would ditch after lunch, go to the arcade, and play the Hell out of those games. "YOU SUCK AT THIS GAME!" cfalcon reminded me of totally uncool moments: Seeing, for the first time, Sludge miss with no EvAcc modifiers in place, particularly when a hit would have resulted in a sweet-ass victory for Koffing in the mall tour. Also, seeing Snorlax fail to Rest...repeatedly. In the same vein, for good moments, I'd have to say my first tourney victory (with Wigglytuff, Dodrio, and Psyduck) and my best victory, for a Boulder badge (with Wiggly, Snorlax and Lee). Also, reading Simyn's beautiful war story. The mother of all war stories. In Blue, beating the E4 only to find I had to fight Scrod one more time (oh no!). With Wiggly out of PP and almost everyone else KO'd, Koffing laid down his life for the victory...and then Oak came out and praised my bond with my Pokemon. Ah, good times... A generic one: letting The Finger linger painfully long over the Monkey's name in Super Monkey Party as the Monkey sweats. Every now and then you have to not screw the Monkey, just to give the Monkey a little hope. As was mentioned by someone else...for a slightly different game...when someone actually realizes that the word "team" is in Team Fortress, and is willing to suicide for the good of the team. Also, every time I'd get on one of those runs when everyone I met was almost dead, so it seemed like my nail gun was blasting out pure Death as people dropped before me...running out backwards out of the enemy base, flag in hand, killing people on the way out...while someone shouts "Damn you, Toad!". When other people take the time to curse your name, you know you're having a good night.

The first time I ever played my NES, with my SMB/Duck Hunt cartridge.Finally getting past level 99 in Bubble Bobble. That was too sweet. Passing Dragon Warrior. Man, what memories. My Zelda game working after over ten years. I have several bids ranging from one dollar to several hundred. Kicking the crap out of huge mice in Battletoads and racing like mad across a whacky chasm. That and smashing my brother with the wrecking ball. Getting my first Gameboy, which still works. Tetris still 0wnz j00. Beating that blasted queen Metroid in Metroid II with plenty of energy and missiles to spare. Getting my first level 100 Poke, even though it was a Mewtwo, in Pokémon Blue on the rom. Finally passing that blasted level in the Cuban base in Goldeneye. That took me months. Getting my first Eevee from beating the Gym Leader Castle in Pokémon Stadium after getting five bulbasaurs in a row. I got a Gameshark not much later. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and when you get a chance to kick the shit out of Ganon by slashing the beeitch to hell. Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and hearing the old Zelda music. *sobs* I got so emotional over that. I cried, and I still play that game simply to hear that music. G-d bless Shigero Miyamoto. And, of course, I'm terribly sorry, jumping on the sunflower's breasts in Conker's Bad Fur Day. There are so many more... I wish I had more time. Oh! Wait! I completely forgot about PC gaming! Killing Hitler in Wolfenstein 3D. That was damn sweet. Die, you sonofabitch from Duke Nukem 3D and also kicking the field goal after beating the beast of the stadium and then doing a chick.

Finding the Dungeon Key in Phantasy Star 1. Losing my first pokemon tournament to a red-headed ass-hole who used a DTing Mewtwo (against my Vaporeon with Surf, Hydro Pump, Blizzard and Acid Armor) I'm pretty sure that if I had won, then I would have considered myslef the greatest player ever and lost interest... unfortunately I became more addicted with my lost.... Meeting up with the Kansas Boys @ the KC tour. Azure wouldn't be as fun without um. I'll bet they would have eventually found their way here though... Exploding my Electrode to take out Stupid Nintendo Rep's Mew in what would be my first victory/battle against an official gym leader. Killing a Gym Leader's Grep with a Venusaur and Mew at the last TCG tour... and listening to him sulk afterwards. Beating Kikered's ass over and over again in Pokemon Puzzle League and then watching him cry and call his Mommy to take him home again. Ha ha Wiping the floor with Biffster's ass in Smash Brothers (while playing with my eyes closed)and then agreeing to tell everyone "the opposite happened." Completely dominating StarCalibur in SoulCaliber using only one hand and while eating McDonald's Sausage Biscuits. Farting on Squeeeezie while she played Snood

Nyeh. Never happened. Anyhow... Kicking everyone's arses (in OP area) in Puzzle League. I am still searching for one who can defeat me without losing a multitude of times first. Winning my first R/B/Y battle against TeeJay Yep... smuggled our Game Boys to school just to have a battle. First link-battle ever for both of us. Alakazam owns you. Discovering "Rage" in Smash Bros. I used to own at Smash... After a summer of "taking it easy" on my weakling cousins, I lost a very large majority Smash skills. Now, I can tap into my old power sometimes while getting killed a lot. Then I kick arse... for about a minutes. Kicking arse in DoA2 I mainly prefer this game over SoulCaliber for some reason. Probably because there is a counter that does damage for those damned button-mashing fags. I can win with any decent team member. Schooling all alongside Biffster and SC was one of the best moments ever. Meeting trainers from outside the OP league. Yep. Fish and 10K. It was hella fun when they were here. I am still upset about Jolty being frozen from a Fish-Chansey Blizzard. And Exegutor exploding a max-DTed Kazam. I don't believe having an oppurtunity to battle 10K except for on PBS. Yeah, it was fun when they were here. Getting online on Phantasy Star Online. I managed to trick the Dreamcast into using Bluelight for the ISP. Nothing is more satisfactory than getting something you worked on to function correctly. It also allows me to play with other Azure people. Erm. That's all I can think of for now. ------------------ Distant to others, a KNIGHT who is searching for his lost love. -PSO Guild Card AIM: kikered PSO: AuraKnight

10K: Losing my first pokemon tournament to a red-headed ass-hole...Ack! Oh wait... 10K: who used a DTing Mewtwo Phew... not me. I was the sexy looking red head who beat you with "Biff's Eggs" and Mew  10K: Wiping the floor with Biffster's ass in Smash Brothers (while playing with my eyes closed)and then agreeing to tell everyone "the opposite happened. Dude! You said you wouldn't tell!!! =D Oh yeah, Half-Life TFC is the biggest load of shit ever. Banjo-Kazooie I can't believe that I forgot about this one! Beating that damn witch's little game show owned. I still haven't beat Banjo-Tooie.

Pornbot: Half-life TFC fucking Ownz you.Half-Life TFC couldn't own my grandpa and he's dead. ...well, unless they've made major revisions since when it first came out. I play Medic and Pyro and both classes got screwed with TFC. It's not like either was overpowered, anyway. They shouldn't bother to call it "Classic" if they're going to change the rules anyway. All my info is a couple years old now, but if I remember correctly, napalm grenades are krap now (and you can get stuck running on them, which is stupid), the range of medikit has been severely cut down, the maps were changed to add little nuggets all over the walls to get stuck on and crevices to fall into, the response time is sluggish, the uniforms krappy, and...I can't remember much else except that I gave it a chance. I tried for a couple weeks to like it, but when I couldn't even get the simplest macro working due to limitations of the game, I gave up. Quake TF is still alive and sorta well, so I'm happy there.

Bah. Screw that shit. When Seventeen fought Piccolo, and they just kept beating the shit out of each other. Now THAT was cool. Too bad Seventeen got eaten. That sucked. Oh, and screw the death of Aeris in FF7. Was I the only moved by the lovable Cait Sith's betrayl? Poor lil' guy..

yea... except KotR and QM don't work together :P I liked the scene in FF9 when Steiner crashed into the side of the ship ^_^ The scene where the black waltz blew up the black mages was pretty sad... (Again in FF9) In FF1 when you I would always skip fighting Kary because I liked upgrading early In FF4 when I got the Imp summon... and then realized it was crap... also when I beat the very last boss without any items or equipment (except for the Crystal which you need to have) In Pokemon when my level 100 swifting Mewtwo could single-handedly kill everyone at school I knew (I've never, and still haven't, played Rolken in Pokemon) In FF6 when I ran into three brontasaurs in a row winning an Economizer from each one In FFT... every thing.... In Counter Strike when I had Earthlink for a while and was able to actually play at a reliable connection... when I found an awesome campers spot on the assault map (or whichever map is the house with the hostages...) and got 2 kills and didn't die  All of Chrono Trigger umm... when Fanha and Darryn got removed (And oddly I didn't...) Oh and any scene in FF7 with the Turks... And in FF8 where she summons Griever/Givera "Make them bleed!" -Givera ------------------ <Psybro> I have an interest in WWF, rather than goat masturbation. <Pory> I think I prefer the goat masturbation.

Hmm, I like this topic. Unlike StarCaliber, I like the one-player RPGs. I still like the multi-player games like DOA2 and SMB, but I love the great parts in the RPGs.In FF6, Kefka destroys most of the world, and then when you fight him at the end. In FF7, Aeris dying was good, but the FMV when they escape from Shinra Tower (I think) and Cloud is on the motorcycle. That was so cool. Chrono Trigger, just everything about it was cool. Going to everytime and helping everybody and killing ass. Especially the 12,000 bc with the plot twists. Then fighting Lavos and the last ending. I love the first ending though, when they are back at the carnival, and Chrono's mom goes into the time machine, and they are off on another adventure. *Becomes teary-eyed. That was so cool. Chrono Cross, the ending where you finally learn the truths. PSO, playing with Biffster and Kikered and killing the bosses with teamwork. Pokemon Red, reading about it in Nintendo Power, and having my mom getting it. I couldn't find the last gym leader, so I called up SC, and he was having a OP PKMN party. He told me where, and then he hooked me up with the OP PKMN crew. Many great memories of that. The elite-4 and elite-3 when we played StarCraft all night, and other multi-player games. When Fish came to Kansas, and we partied at SC for days. At night playing Mario Party was so much fun. I never though MP could be so cool. The Chromatics tour with SC and Biffster. Meeting 10k, etc. Meeting Azure. Jeez, I think I could go on for ever, but I think I'll stop now.

Illusion of Gaia - When Hamlet sacrifices himself for the village of starving people. Only scene in a video game to almost make me cry (Aeris' death was next).FF9 - The cinemas with Black Waltz 3 (where he attacks the airship and sends black mages everywhere and when he chases the party to South Gate before he accidently "kills" himself). Pokemon Red - When I experienced my first link cable loss. Taught me having Mewtwo and the Legendary Birds didn't mean an invincible team and causing me to search a way to improve myself. Also when I first saw Lorelei/Prima, and found her unattractive and flat chested. Then I saw the anime.... Digimon World (yes, I played it) - Your first Ultimate Digimon and the first battle with Infinity Dramon.... Tamagotchi - When you first get a Mimichi and or Mamechi... Legend of the Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon - The final boss fight...... FF7 - Aeris dying FF8 - When you finally see Ultima Weapon die, when Seifer kills Odin, and the part where the two Gardens fight. Pokemon Gold/Silver - When you get your first Pokemon and fight with it (Hm...I miss me old Chiko..), and when you show Ash how much his team sucks. FF6 - The part where Kefka attacks the Emperor..."Run! Run! Or you'll be well done!" or something like that..... ------------------ Reminder to Jenova: Be horribly mean to Ancient Egyptian Cat-Gonk and me. "Geez, why the heck do u want HAZE?!

A few thing that I enjoyed.Super Metroid Blasting the Mother Brain's head off after it killed the Metroid. It's all about the recoil off that Hyper Beam. Virtua Fighter 3 Successfully pulling off Akira's Stun Palm of Doom on a human opponent. Priceless. Zelda:MM Understanding the Stone Temple in it's entirety. Super Mario Kart Stealing someone's feather just as they are about to perform some kind of race winning short-cut, only to watch them plummet to an untimely death. Super Smash Bros. Kickin in Mario, Fox and Pikachu with just Kirby in a three on one Smash fest. ------------------ "you dirty, motherless son of an icecream maker!" - Geese Howard, FF Special
