oops, posted already upthread.

That was a pretty interesting/neato proposal. But the "you are such a nerd" comment would have made me feel belittled.

I plan on proposing to future wife after jumping on stage after a romantic night/dinner at a place that has a live band. Then, on stage, I would throw on a leather jacket and grease my hair back with a dipper ride, and say "hit it" and the band would play 'Somewhere in My Heart' - Aztec Camera. Of course I might need singing lessons and perfect the art of faking how to play the electric guitar. Probably never gonna happen but props to the dude for doing something creative.

You'll definitely avoid the dreaded "you are such a nerd" response with the dulcet tones of Aztec Camera.

"All the charms she does possess" ie she's a bit jumpy and she doesn't like being splashed.

'...'

whenever i see this thread title i always thing that an hour doesnt seem like a particularly remarkable amount of time to have played a video game

i actually tried playing this for the first time the other day, there was a free flash version on the net somewhere. But i was eating lunch at the time and so had to play with one hand.

"eating lunch"

Did I dream it or didn't someone once put the OP of this thread through one of those text-to-speech video hoonja-doonjas? Scanned through the thread and couldn't find it, made me :(

yes someone did, i remember that. but no idea where it is sorry

might be in the coint and plick?

unfortunately no

WAIT

at work so i cant tell if it still works

oh it still works

yay!

Somehow it's even funnier when it's spoken out loud like that.

SPINAL FUNCTION

Dunno, sounds like he had just the right amount of contempt for the boards and self-loathing for posting on them to make up your average ILE poster.

g-kit knows us so well (way upthread)

Woohoo!!! Thanks for relinking that! Read the same series of nine paragraphs at the top of the thread for a minute or two? I DON'T THINK SO. I think I'll HEAR THEM READ 3 times.

Yay! I remembered it was from xtranormal, but my ILX search turned up nothing.

The line about blood transfusion just cracks me up.

Would buy

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.

too much.

I can't immediately restart games again. I think the only one I ever beat multiple times in the same playing season was Dino Crisis like 13 years ago

Whatever happened to GZeus, anyway? I gave Tombot mod powers on here explicitly to fuck with that guy.

ha you know that he is a customer at my store right? iirc he pretty much swore off forums because his personality did nod jibe well with the forum experience, which was a pretty good call i think.

oh dear. you actually knew this guy!?

oh yeah - he actually is pretty much the same irl. he will probably be in later today, i will say howdy from ilg for you all and give him your email addresses and home telephone numbers

Oh very good, always nice to keep in touch

make sure you give him a special "die in a fire" "hello" from me

I havent played this game yet, am sort of waiting for the perfect time. It may happen soon! I'm so lookin forward to it...

I'd buy the t shirt but I'm pathetic that way. GZeus was a legend. Interesting he wasn't a sock.

wow lol wow

On Wednesday I played Chrono Trigger for over an hour, on my SNES, because I was too tired to do anything else.

I'm glad GZeus wrote this because if he hadn't I would probably come here and write something as RANDOMLY FILLED WITH EXPLOSIONS OF CAPITAL LETTERS and references to how my DNA has been PARTIALLY REWRITTEN TO INSTILL CHRONO TRIGGER INSTINCT etc

So many things about this game are done so well -- I know the game has been praised to death but the design is so confident, the story is so sinewy, the world(s) is (are) so hangout-friendly (the fair alone? good god), the stakes raise so RIGHT... if this post had been about any other game I don't think it'd be ILX legend becase GZeus was 100% right (in addition to 200% funny).

I just started playing this on ZSNES. I had started a game a week ago and didn't realize it didn't automatically save upon staying at an inn, so lost the first hour. To make up for it I mashed the ~ key so grinding and getting back to that spot would be fast. Probably a bad idea, now I want to use it in nearly every fight.

SPINAL FUNCTION

Playing any emulated jrpg with a controller button mapped to fast-forward is key. That's how I was able to beat Earthbound the first time without going nuts.

haha yeah I can't live without my frame skip button
