Mark S on fire in this thread: mastermind, the game

MM1 was MM2's assistant, but bumped him off at the behest of GF1, and took over
MM3 is MM1's useless son obv, a classic "prince-in-waiting" roué dimwit, more interested in banging cocktail waitresses two at a time than Mastering the Game, let alone his mind: when MM1 vanished, GF1 had MM3 quietly garotted — by GF2, naturally.

GF2, MM1's octopussy-lucabrazz,i had never been his lover, stil less MM3's mom (whose death in penury in Eastern Europe in the mid-50s had pushed MM1 into this mode of life). Caring more about the Style of the Game than mere worldly loyalties or passions, GF2 was swiftly suborned when GF1 made appeal to the Aesthetics of Gangster Succession.

GF3/4 were models hired for the photograph.

Voted "Can't C Me" but there are lots of really great G-funk tracks here. Shame about the rapping, but the rest of the music is great.

that is incredible thank you for that

I'm working class and I understand the deep hurt caused to others by Common People. I feel the same way about The Chauffeur by Duran Duran, Smooth Operator by Sade, Country House by Blur, How To Be A Millionaire by ABC, I've Never Been To Me be Charlene and many other songs that rub the restrictions of my damn class in my face! I could only dream of visiting Niece, and the Isles of Greece and sipping champagne on a yacht! When will these people think of the emotional turmoil they're wreaking on the listeners! But at least I had the class solidarity of my brothers in arms Wham! on such socialist sons of toil classics as Everything She Wants and Young Guns! I can only dream of what it must be like to be on the other side of the fence... to not be invited to be part of Jarvis Cocker's gang of misfits... whom I imagine to be slightly like the cast of the Breakfast Club but with odd teeth and jackets from Oxfam.

I cannot remember the original thread this turned up on, or the original poster. But when it turned up on Jurassic Park, it was pretty lol.

"guys guys guys there is SO MUCH incredible rock from the 90's that far outstrips what came before. fair enough if you prefer earlier stuff, but for me the watershed came around the time of Talk Talk's fruition. after that, bands realised that any sound was within their grasp, any texture was possible, and they began to reach higher and higher within the parameters of 'rock'. that comment about 'bush' being a typical 90's rock group just saddens me. on the one hand we had shoegaze, on the other post-rock, on the other we had stuff like Blur and Spiritualized and The Boo Radleys and SFA, then we had old-time rockers gone all weird and modern, like Soundgarden (who kicked more ass than just about every previous heavy-metal band I've heard, no really), we had sonic youth's 'washing machine' which is clearly a lot better than 'daydream nation' (no, it is), we had Beck, we had The Boredoms (I mean SRSLY), we had Levitation, we had Earth, Neurosis, Godflesh, and other great experimental metal bands, then we had the Flaming Lips (their 90's albums are GREAT), we had MERCURY FUCKING REV (whose first two albums do 'noise-pop' better than ANYONE), we had the rise and rise of Foetus ('Flow' is IMO a lot better than the earlier 'Nail'), we had Lusk, we had ORBITAL who weren't really rock but FUCK WE HAD ORBITAL ORBITAL ORBITAL and a load of other SUPREME electronic artists (Plaid, Aphex Twin etc), then we had Radiohead (I don't care what you say, they are revered for a fucking good reason), we had Scott Walker's 'Tilt' to keep us on our toes, we had Six By Seven, The Beta Band...."

I just played Chrono Trigger for over an hour.

In Japanese.
Not that I could read alot of it(one character speaks in an insanely thick and formal SAMURAI dialet, the royal family speaks high keigo which I oddly understood... not sure what that means. Alot of Kanji, too), what I did read is alot funnier, and I wouldn't have to read it anyway.
I could play it in russian, swedish, arabic... DOESN'T MATTER. I can play it with my feet without looking directly at the creen. I'VE DONE IT BEFORE.
In fact I set the battle modes to harder ones just for more of a challenge.
THE ATTACK NAMES ARE DIFFERENT AND IT DOESN'T MATTER.
I haven't played it in years and I can just go "Oh, now I need to do that, so I'll press this sequence of buttons and kill"
SPINAL FUNCTION.
If I did a blood transfuction I'm sure the recieving human(in addition to getting high from all the meds) would BE ABLE TO PLAY CHRONO TRIGGER.

That's not very long, either. I used to do 4-5 hour stretches. I don't remember how long it took to beat lavos when I'm SUPPOSED to lose...

I've seen all 11 main endings and variations of most of them.
I used to level up by playing the game through.
Fight the same series of wimps in the forect for an hour or two? I DON'T THINK SO. I think I'll BEAT THE GAME 3 times.
The same way EVERY TIME.
Fastest way to winning.
Then I'd work at accumulating more items and becoming so strong NOTHING could stop me. But only after completing EVERY POSSIBLE SIDE STORY.

This was accomplished in part by a trick my brother (ex-in-law) found.
He spend 6 hours fighting the same battle over and over.
Steal the same item from the same monsters.
I was FLOORED when I heard that.
He had a save on the system with MAXED OUT magic power on EVERY character.
Then I went on to bit by bit max every character as much as possible.

Then I lent it to my then girlfriend, and somehow that save was erased.
it's wuite possible the fact that I had a Game Gear save on it that was so fucked it screwed the system, but she may (VERY DOUBTFUL) have deleted it on purpose, but I think she was ashamed of ACCIDENTALLY deleting it and lied.
But I don't remember if you CAN just delete a save in CT....

This game was my sole entertainment source save random TV things for 2-3 years.
THAT'S INSANE.
I had an old-school Geocities site(long gone, I loved it) dedicated to subtexts and retardo descriptions of characters.
I sprayed my hair the color of my fav character, I bought a replica sword like the one he carried, GREW MY HAIR TO THE SAME LENGTH.
Used his name on EVERY message board, wait, they were all CHAT ROOMS then.
Remember CHAT ROOMS?
There was a CT chatroom I had regular DAILY meetings in.
I SOMEHOW developed a crush on the webmaster until I saw she was really palsied and horse-like.
Still cool. Not attractive.

WOW.
This is the most meaningless crap I've ever written, but it's a bit of an insight onto how far into things I get.

Any CT fans?
Anyone else have a similar past with a different game?

New Jack Swing was a disaster

Funk was kind of a disaster too, but later great work by Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie and Earth Wind & Fire meant that R&B recovered briefly.
