Favorite game series?
Zelda, hands down. Well, at least Ocarina, Majora's Mask and most of the earlier versions. I haven'y played any of the new Zelda games, unfortunately, because I decided to go with Microsoft instead of Nintendo after Gameboy and N64. I do however, still have my '64, my favoutire console. EDIT: Can't forget about the Banjo series, I'm just hoping Banjo-Threeie or whatever it's going o be called isn't as bad as the graphics look.

Xbox 360
It is a great consoole. But what you really have to decide is if you'll want to spend the $5-10 (?) a month for Live. It just about adds twice the content for many games, with the ability to play over Live. Not to mention the Marketplce, but that's free to get access to. Live is definitly worth it, especially if you have a alot of friends with 360's. Actually, that is the entire reason why I bought my 360. I had a good amount of friends with a 360, all of whom had Live. Then theres the games like Gears of War, the Halo series, Project Gotham and so much more. In other words: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR????!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!

Halo 3 Achievements Released
- Too wii or not to Wii
Wii Wii! In other words that's a Japanese/French hybrid for yes. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go take a wicked "Yes" Just kidding, but Family Guy is humourous. I want to get a Wii too, right now. But I'm just wondering, how many Mario and Zelda titles are out so far? Those are the two that really appeal to me (N64, baby!). Bah, screw spending less than half what I did on a 360, I'll just hope my grandpa's is available to me (Mooching off the elderly, one of my many talents).- The ps2 has sold 96 Million more consoles than the X-Box
The Wii is an awesome console. It appeals to pretty much every age group. They are selling to th elderly because it keeps them about as active. It sells to younger audiences because of all the kid-friendly games from Nintendo. Then theres everything else for inbetween. Oh, and it costs about half of a 360, and I think around a third of the ps3. Comparable prices to the ps2. Wii I think is the next generation system, based mainly on it's intereactivity and affordability. Ps3 just didn't fly because it's really just a ps2 with enhanced graphics and blu-ray. Xbox 360 is doing quite well because of just how much online features it supports. You will probably use the 360 a bit more than the Wii or Ps3 because the 360 is a relatively good base for a home theatre, which is supported by the ability to transfer media between your computer and the 360. I am really quite suprised they don't introduce a computer with a built in 360. Now to Ps2. I have to admit it is an awesome console. It has hundreds of great games, good graphics and the games have a huge variety. Then with the smaller version you can use it for travelling. All-in-all, Ps2 ruled it's generation and it looks like it's Nintendo's turn. Anyways, I'm a sucker for Mario, Zaelda and the N64.- Halo 3, Finish the fight?
There were rumors of Bungie working on another title, nicknamed "forerunner", probably about the forerunner race before the events of Halo: Fall of Reach. Then it all but vanished when the development of Halo 3 and Halo Wars was announced. Who knows? Such a high selling title could easily have a prequel created later. And yeah, i always loved the halo storyline, because everything is connected to each other somehow. Plenty of "ohh!" moments. As for the end, i think the Arbiter will be killed, like all other Arbiters before him. The Flood will be destroyed or re-contained. The human race will be revealed as the forerunners (lots of evidence they are), and will be considered as leaders of the Covenant, or the Covenant itself will be disbanded. Either that, or the Halos activate and destroy all life in the galaxy, except for the human race. This is because the Ark is supposedly on Earth, and like Noah's Ark, it will save humanity from the Flood, and the Halo's blast. Dude. That definitly clicks, especially considering how religious the Covenant Are (Another religious reference, supporting) Then the Arbiter sounds an awful lot like Jesus. The Arbiter alwaysy dies, meaning hes a sacrafice. His sacrafice seems to me tat it is during turning points in the Covenant. This attributes much to Jesus. My guess is that Halo 3 explains that the Bible is truly based on fact. However, that fact is that Jesus, the Arbiter, discovered the threat of the flood, gathering a following in an attempt to protect humanity. Humanity at this point in time is what is known as the Forerunners in Halo. The Arbiter and his following, which is likely quite large, uses their technology to build two things. The first is the system of Halo rings. The second is the Ark, which will protect them from the blast of the rings, or, if the rings fail, house them fore long enough to hopefully outlast the Flood. The tale of the flood is much the same thing. Two of every species they come across in an attempt to replace what the Flood will devour. The Forerunners, who are very likely humanoids, also save the Covenant, or the Forerunners are Covenant, saving humans. Either way, a religion is spawned from the "Salvation". Now, all the Covenant now, until the rediscover the Ark, is that the activation of Halo will save them. However, the must be inside the Ark to attain this salvation. The human version of this slwoly degrades through the millenia, turning into the Bible. The Forerunners are either nearly wiped out during the activation of Halo, or completely wiped out. either way, not enough of the Forerunners survive to retain the knowledge of their technology past a couple generations. These remenants of the Forerunners spawn into humans, the Covenant, or split off into both, with the Covenant quickly rediscovering the technology as their ancestors. Thats what I think the story will be based on, and I always find the story the second best part of a game (I was quite disappointed with Gears of War in that aspect, too many dark corners).- How many xbox 360 owners here have faulty 360s?
I get the "Unable to read disk" every so often with every game I play. I just Take it out, wipe it off and continue playing. Oh, and for all of you who say your 360 scratches your games with no refund? Sucks to be you and good thing for me I buy all my games from EB. I like the idea of paying $3 to insure the game. I've almost had to use it for my brand new Guitar Hero X-Plorer, which broke six days after I bought it. Thankfully there was also a seven day garuntee so I saved my self three bucks.- Acoustic Songs
I assume these are written and performed by you for the most part? You are a very skilled guitarist, everything off of "Seasons" is very well written and played. Come Tommorrow is also quite good. Falling Short isn't too good soudn quality wise, but is also a good song. In general, you're awesome Almost replaces the current acoustics I listen to (Why is it that you can ony really find good acoustics to smalltown, "undiscovered" artists?).- Your funeral...
I think I'm going to change my choice of music to Here's to the Night by Eve 6. Damn good song along the lines of remembrance. I would still like some Streetlight at my funeral though, I'd even settle for some BOTAR (Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution, a Streetlight Manifesto side project, still ska). But then again, I'll be dead and hopefully much, much older so I either wouldn't care or I would choose a special song between me and my loved one(s).- Spanking- a sexual offense?
As I kind of said in my previous post, how does this prove anything about the "American judicial system" as a whole? Why am I not surprised that someone dragged Bush and his intelligence into this? I mean its not like its hard to graduate for Harvard (or Yale wherever he went) or anything. Anyways, remind me what Bush has to do with this, unless you are just one of those idiot Bush-bashers who simply wants to poke fun at him because everyone else is doing it? First of all, I think I should correct myself. The American Judicial system has it's flaws. Second, I was wondering whether Bush is really the idiot the media (I guess I should point out that I watch The Daily Show and Colbert Report) makes him seem. I wasn't saying Bush is an idiot, or bringing him into this, just wondering if the media makes him seem like an idiot. I don't think the American legal system is all that great, but that could just be the fact that I'm Canadian and enjoy a poke at my Southern neighbours with a much superior army (But I guess that's the price for being peace-keepers). Just for the hell of it, here's a line from a comedy sketch on T.V.: "I like to thin of Canada as the rertarded little brother of the U.S. and the United Nations as the mother. If the U.S. wants to go to war, they have to ask the U.N. and the U.N. will say to bring Canada along. The U.S. will respond 'But he can't do anything!' to which the U.N. will reply 'Just let him play goalie.'" Sorry if that was immature, but I felt like writing so I did and I like comedy. Seemed like a good idea at the time.- Good song to learn...?
Maybe some Rush? They usually have some good drums, guitar and bass, however the drum set, if I am correct, is quite bigger than standard (I remember for one song, the drum set had to be set up 360 degrees). I would say YYZ, but only because it is on Guitar Hero, meaning it had a decent guitar part, and also had a drum solo. There was also a bass solo.- New Song-Listen, anyone goin through their teens can relate
(Sighs) What can I say, I honestly think the song sucks, not just because I'm not a Rap/Hip-Hop kind of guy, I just didn't like it. I also think posting the name of the song, the artist and genre might help, just so that those who dislike rap/hip-hop know to avoid it. The thing about being a "Teen Anthem" is just plain bull. You cannot say a song represents teenagers, because teenagers change their preferences like crazy. Just to let you know, I am one of those teenagers, however I do consider myself considerably open about music. Also, if your parents don't want you to swear or anything, try not to, atleast in their presence or that of other adults, most adults don't like it because, while they are only words, society has pretty much brainwashed everyone that they are "bad" words. I honestly think us teens only swear because it's considered "bad". For some reason we do alot of things for that reason, among others. Oh yeah, on the porn topic, don't, it can sometimes give you some very disturbing thoughts, trust me, I know from, a little experience. To end with a little critique on the song, I didn't really hear anything in the ten seconds I listened to it that had anything along the lines of metphors and other linguistic tools. Basically, it was all literal and had no depth, something that makes a song quite a bit better. Typical of rap/hip-hop and why I'd prefer rock, alternative, ska and the many other forms of music I listen to.- Spanking- a sexual offense?
This confirms my belief that the American judicial system sucks. And the government (Is Buch really that much of an idiot, or is that just his media portrayal?). Anyways, how could you compare this to crimes such as rape? Well, maybe they aren't, but I couldn't exactly think of anything that would fit. Honestly, I doubt you would get something like that if you peeped, which is worse, in my opinion. But really, labelled sex offenders? I think the two students were just acting out of their own immaturity, maybe trying to fit in/act "cool", but not gain anything that could base it as a sex crime, other than the area.- Janitors, lunch ladies, bus drivers, teachers etc..
I do the same thing as you, however going into highschool from Senior Public (Junior High), I'm not too sure. back in my other school we didn't have too many kids (ony about 200) so our supervisors could handle checking each table before we had to go, so I guess it will change. Probably the thing that makes me think this is that on the final day of my grad trip, while we were cleaning our hotel rooms, one kid said "Isn't the maid supposed to do this?" That kid pretty much ended up cleaning up a bit of every room.- The what are you wearing today thread..
Brown shirt with stick-weilding chipmunk standing in front of his nuts on a branch with the phrase "PROTECT YOUR NUTS" written above, blue shorts with two yellow and white stripes running down either side and two bands of the same solour on bottom of either leg. Oh and boxers, but no socks. Damn "k" so close to the "h". Spelt "shirt" "skirt".- Your Religion?
I have no religion, basically labeling me as an atheist. Howver I do have beliefs, which is basically that anyone can believe what they want and stop there, and I will respect them. However if you try to force your beliefs upon someone else, then I will come down on you. That is probably why I do not like Catholicism and Christianity. From what I have learned through history classes, they forced their religion, at a minimum, upon the Native Aboriginals in North America. I mean no offense by what I have said and I have tried to pick my words carefully so as not to offend anyone.- Empire - Christaphor Paulini: Predictions
Finish the trilogy, it is amazing. The last one still holds it's place as the best book I have ever read. I mark finishing it as the point in time when I started maturing. Back on the topic of the third Inheritence book, I feel it is quite obvious Eragon inherits something. To start off, I will lay a theory from http://www.shurtugal.com. Brom turns out to be Eragon's father (or if this truly follows the Star Wars story line, Galbatorix is). This means that Eragon inherits two things from Brom. The first is being a Rider. Although there is no mention I can remember of someone inhertiting the ability of a Rider (More just having a dragon hatching for him/her), there is neither anything to put it down. Then Eragon's Saphira inherits her name from Brom's Saphira. To interject; does Eragon now show an contempt toward Murtagh? If so then he inherits his contempt/hate for Morzan's bloodline from Brom. Eragon inherits Morzan's sword as well from Brom, Murtagh taking the sword to claim his inheritence from Morzan. Murtagh inherits Morzan's betrayal of Brom's bloodline. The thing that this all relies on is Brom being Eragon's father, which people may say is disproved by the prediction of Eragon being betrayed by someone in his family. Murtagh is in Eragon's family regardless, since they share the same mother. Basically, it is better to read the theories on Shurtugal.com, simply because they likely researched into this, and I know it is much clearer. I pretty much just input my thoughts and removed stuff. I can wait for the last book, but now long.- The Dreamweb - my first attempt at fiction in English
Aww, it's over.... for now. :cry: Absolutely amazing. I only wish that it was written on paper so I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of staring at a computer screen for a few hours to read it :wink:- whats the UK like?
A country which they once literally owned and sent their convicts to. Which, by the way, was quite stupid in my opinion. I can just think of an Englishman thinking to himself "Now where to go, the New World, with it's great blizzards and icebergs, or Australia, the sunny continent/country hybrid? I think I'll go to the New World, and while we're at it, lets send all of our criminals to Australia. I am Canadian, most of that was either from a comedy sketch or my history classes.- Your funeral...
A Moment of Silence OR The Big Sleep (Only if I ever join some form of militia/army) - Streetlight Manifesto Each one has a different mood. "A Moment of Silence" deals with all of the social outcasts. If you want proof, heres the main chorus: "a moment of silence please for those who never get the chance they show up to the party but they're never asked to dance the losers the liars the bastards the thieves the cynicists, the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing" (Retrieved from http://www.sing365.com/music/Lyric.nsf/ ... 000006373D on July 22, 2007) Then for "The Big Sleep", I feel that would only be acceptable for someone involved in fighting because of the last few lines: the last two soldiers on the battlefield survivors of the war they aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord "if you're listening, i'm missing him so somehow bring him home how did it come to this?" so the soldiers lift their rifles and they're aiming at the head they think of their first love before they take their final breaths and somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said: "how did it come to this?" However, after posting this, I have realized that I could not care. They are both great songs and I feel they have been influential in my life so far in terms of how I deal with emotional stress and a few events in my life, mainly the death of my cat and moving from my childhood home. I am only fourteen, my cat died a few years ago and I had grown very attatched to her. When she died at first I was not affected, but then when I moved from the house I had lived all my life a year later, I realized just how much I missed my house, because I had so many memories and how much I missed my cat. Now I am not affected by these because of the music I listen to, namely Streetlight Manifesto and Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution (A side project of Streetlight Manifesto). I would rather someone else choose the song, preferably my wife (If I am lucky enough to have one). But by the time I hope to die, I know I will have another song to add.- Being "emo" is silly?
Every one says "Emo" people cut themselves. "Emo" is now just a fashion trend. Much like so-called "Non-comformists" (Who now completely contradict the term). You feel hurt because you miss someone you have grown attatched to? That is you being emo. but not "emo", emotional.- Bill Gates looses richest status
Bill Gates has Donated the equivalent of Donald Trump's networth to an AIDS charity. Yes, it is not right for anyone to have more than what is needed to live. THat is the thing I do not understand about those that are "Rich" They have millions of dollars, yet most do not whole-heartedly do any good in the world. They just sit on their millions of dollars, much of which will never be used.- Always look before you put stuff down!
Once, in bed, I was listening to my MP3 player. It only held about 60 songs, but I was fine with it. Well my bed frame at the time had a built-in shelf at the head of the bead about a half fot off of the matress. Usually if I have a glass of water or the like I put it there for the night. Well, after listening to my MP3 player, I turned it off and put it onto my shelf without looking. I heard the [racist term] of it hitting glass and then the ploink of the water in the glass. All I thought to my self was "Idiot". I took it out, it worked well, but after a few weeks I jsut found that it turned off randomly. THen after a few months of turning off randomly it did not turn on. Tried different batters, hooking it up to the computer, nothing worked. So I go into Futureshop, because I had a warranty on it still (I love extended warranties) and get a new one, which had about twice the memory, along with expandable memory. My Brother just got an iPod so I also trade in his old MP3 player for a 512mb card, which was the size of my new MP3 player. So after breaking my crappy, 256mb MP3 player, I get 4x the memory and an MP3 player I like much more. I still have that MP3 player somewhere, even though I do have a iPod. - Too wii or not to Wii
