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

i did that! unfortunately i cant remember where i put it either.

WAIT

The Third Annual Coint and Plick Poll: ILG’s Best Video Games of 2009 - Part Three: #21 through #51

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.

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

i just played chrono trigger for over an hour in twenty minutes

i feel like this is actually more of a waste of time on some level

anyway i'm replaying final fantasy vii in a fucking PAL copy on an original playstation so i don't even know

i never would've gotten through Earthbound without the skip key- i doubt i would've made it all the way through if i had a hold of the original SNES cart for more than a rental back in the day. the grind in that game is nuts towards the end

i feel like this is actually more of a waste of time on some level

Yeah! so otm

i totally get that attitude, but it's like sometimes you gotta get through the badly-designed parts to get to the good stuff, i'll give up the badge of honor on certain games, especially the older i've gotten

I am enjoying this

fave thread

Are you disturbed? Someone ban this freak from the thread. You're a piece of work. It was YOU who started this stupid ass discussion. Now you're saying this shit? Slimy m.f.

Goggles on I'm going ALL CAPS. IM PISSED. talk of 'technical virtuoso' is just so DAMN STUPID. With RACIST OVERTONES. Since when does it have any factor on whether you can CREATE GREAT MUSIC.

Were any of the BEATLES virtuoso on their instruments? Obviously NOT. DOES IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE? OBVIOUSLY NOT.

Was BLUES MUSIC created using 3 simple chords? YES.

IS QUESTLOVE THE MOST TALENTED DRUMMER IN THE WORLD? IS HE IN THE TOP 500? NOPE. DOES HE UNDERSTAND MUSIC? YES. DOES HE MAKE GREAT MUSIC? YES. IS A VIRTUOSO? NO.

JIMI HAD THE SAME SHIT THROWN AT HIM BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU. WAS JIMI A GUITAR VIRTUOSO? NOPE. IS HE RIGHTLY CONSIDERED ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYERS EVER? YUP.

Can PRINCE play bass like BOOTSY? NO. Can he make BASSLINES funky? OBVIOUSLY YES. DOES IT MATTER? NO.

LIKE SOMEONE SAID UP THREAD, JAMES GADSON FUCKING PLAYED THE SUGAH DADDY BEAT ON HIS THIGH. THOSE ARE HIM SLAPPING HIS THIGH. RECORDED. OH BUT MAYBE HE'S NOT THE BEST THIGH SLAPPER IN THE WORLD, LET'S JUST POINT THAT OUT.

IS HE A VIRTUOSO THIGH PLAYER? NOPE. I'M SURE THERE ARE 100 OR SO VIRTUOSO THIGH SLAPPERS OUT THERE WHO CAN SLAP A THIGH BETTER THAN HE CAN. THEY'VE PROBABLY HAD THAT GIFT SINCE BIRTH. THEY PROBABLY SPENT 30 YEARS SLAPPING THIGHS.

JAMES GADSON ISNT A VIRTUOSO THIGH SLAPPER.

BUT STILLADVANCE IS A VIRTUOSO FOOL.

LIKE SOMEONE SAID UP THREAD, YASUNORI MITSUDA FUCKING PLAYED THE TYRANO LAIR BEAT ON HIS THIGH. THOSE ARE HIM SLAPPING HIS THIGH. RECORDED. OH BUT MAYBE HE'S NOT THE BEST THIGH SLAPPER IN THE WORLD, LET'S JUST POINT THAT OUT.
