"I even had Kirby Pinball" i LOVE Kirby Pinball!!!!!! When i just had it i was totally addicted to it for months. I used to play that game for hours... all day long sometimes. Only one of the pinball-machines though. Not sure what it's called. But it's the machine with two bosses-character (two clowns dropping bombs at you) and a soccer-bonusgame. Because you can kill only one of the clowns (and get 50.000 points) and then leave the boss-area :-D That way you can play the level almost infinitly and get alot of points. I'll look up my highscore sometime, it's really really really high. The kirby-theme has got to be the catchiest tune in a videogame ever! *hums it* "I haven't been able to get into Hotmail lately without crashing the browser." yeah hotmail is evil :-/ It doesn't crash my browser, but i remember the many occasions when i was eagerly awaiting an important email from someone, and it just said "this account is temporarily not available, keep trying" all night long! Aaaargh! But okay, yeah, i'll be patient :-) Looking forward to seeing yr work! I'll print out your address and prepare something nice for ya. Don't expect anything before may 9th though (competition deadline), i'm putting all my time in that now, and besides i also want to show you what i made for the competition... so either way you'll have to wait until after the closing date. ;-) But it will come, don't worry. |

"I'll look up my highscore sometime" building a battery into that cartridge was a brilliant move on HAL's behalf :-) It's probably the only game i ever played where i actually paid any attention to my score. Who wants to score big points on tetris? It just forgets your score as soon as you turn off the gameboy anyway! |

"2800 pts and 1 million chars, where ophecks with about 8000 has 1.8 million" yeah... that's a nice achievement isn't it? I'd rather be one of the toughest posters than have the most points :-p "you've gotta pay mr phobia extra cash for taking up space :)" Yeah you're right, i'll double the amount of cash i'm paying him normally. No wait! I'll triple it! :-p Nah... he should just be glad someone is filling up all that space without trolling ;-) |

"The kirby-theme has got to be the catchiest tune in a videogame ever!" It's right up there. I love the unique art direction in all the Kirby games.. They've got their own style. As far as playing goes, I think my favorite one was Dreamland 2 for the Gameboy. I loved teaming up with his new animal friends Kine, Coo, and especially Rick. I wanted a hamster for the longest time after I played that game. "But it will come, don't worry." I have faith in you. "building a battery into that cartridge was a brilliant move on HAL's behalf :-) It's probably the only game i ever played where i actually paid any attention to my score. Who wants to score big points on tetris? It just forgets your score as soon as you turn off the gameboy anyway!" Seriously, what's the point of points if they evaporate in between sessions? I never understood this. Left over implementation from the Atari days I guess. |

well i pre-ordered Zelda Windwalker today, apparently there is such demand that it is doubtful you'll get the bonus dis if you dont. the people working there were telling me how awesome the game was (they had it on import) and that the game was massive, which is good as i heard it wasn't long from a review somewhere. Can't wait to get it next week, i've never seen people so excited over a game before like these guys at the game shop, it must be good... they both said it was better than Ocarina of Time too. Ikagura is out a week later too, at last some quality games!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Your local game dweebs have every right to be excited. You'll be embarassingly giddy too once you play it. I think it's A LOT better than Ocarina of Time. They aren't even comparable. surrounded : I just e-mailed you. If it isn't in your inbox by the time you read this then it didn't make it. |

Cabbog, email me (address in profile) I have some nice Wind Waker windows wallpapers you might like! |

You've got my interest.. Deliver here : pod_child@hotmail.com It will take to long for me to access my account just to write you an email telling you I'd like to see them... Old computer + Hotmail = Bad news. Send them to me in the 800xwhatever resolution. These better be really good. Right now I've got an awesome group shot of Tetra and the gang in my background. |

yeah, I heard that ikaruga game is good, it looked wickedly hard though. I still need to give that game, splinter cell and rayman 3 a rent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rayman 3 is kinda mediocre.. Splinter Cell is really fun if you have patience. The gameplay is based completely around stealth and subversion.. Lots of mucking up and reloading. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
<-----look whos there i thought rayman 2 was good and the review i read for rayman3 said it was good but i'll trust your opinion about it, is it worth a rent at least? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, Ikaruga looks awesome, exactly the sort of game i want, great to play with a mate too. Not many of this kind of game around today, which is a shame. They should have released Radiant Silvergun (i think its called that) with it as a bonus disk, like they did with Zelda. I've heard its excelent but i've never played it myself. It does look really hard but thats part of the appeal, can't wait to get it. At the moment the only game i have for the gamecube is Star Wars Rogue leader which i borrowed off a friend... and i'm bored of it. I wonder if Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles will come out this year, hope so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Crysyal chronicle might come out winter of this year but im not quite sure. I know theres definately a lot of good stuff coming: metal gear solid(unkown if its a new game or a port of mgs 1 or 2), mario 128, some rpgs from namco and some new stuff from Silicon Knights (unkown title other than Too Human) as well as new stuff from Factor 5(rogue squadron 3 and another title coming) |

"yip! yip! scraaAAAA!!" If you liked Rayman 2 then it's definately worth a rent. It's not really a baaad game.. Just not a very good one. I'm always critiquing every last facet and detail of everything I play though; you're probably much more forgiving than I am. Especially if you're a fan of the series. Ikaruga does look great. I heard it's really tough and has some weird gameplay twists... Bring it on. I could beat Konami's 'Life Force' with one ship. No up, up, down, down, 30 life code for me. Bedridden childhood devoid of friendship = Merciless gaming badass. As for upcoming games, Namco's 'Tales of Symphonia' RPG sounds promising.. First look here : http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/rpg/symphonia/news_6024816 .html Here's what I'm *really* losing sleep over though : http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/strategy/pikmin2/news_6025 530.html Won't someone be a dear heart and quick-link these for Cabbog? |

I say everyone dresses up in Wind Waker avatars in celebration of the impending Europe release! Large characters are available here: http://www.zeldauniverse.net/z10.php?page=z10characters Worried about spoilers? Use something from a previous Zelda game. Now get out there and spread the love! I haven't slept in 34 hours! |

"the Kirby games.. They've got their own style" true. Not only kirby himself looks cute, everything in the game looks cute. Even the hills in the background and all the enemies. Just looking at this game makes me happy :-) Kirby's Dreamland 2 was a very ambitious project i think... nothing like that was ever released on the 8bit nes! It feels and looks more like a snes-title. I absolutely adore the game, all the animal-friends are a great addition (you're right, that hamster is the best... i think the owl and ehr... the 3rd animal are a bit more forgettable. But that hamster was like Kirby's own Yoshi :-) However i still slightly prefer the 1st game. Probably also for nostalgic reasons. All this Kirby-talk has really made me realise my N64-collection just needs The Crystal Shards... i'm looking to see if i can find it on ebay. It's currently for sale with a starting bid of only 1 euro :-) But there are still 6 days to go on that auction so the price will surely go up. |

whaaa what happened to your avatar?!! your haircut looks like gordon man :/ |

"your haircut looks like gordon man :/" Ha ha ha ha, oh all right, go ahead, deride, deride if you must. But let me tell you something, with my personality and this set of hair, you know what I am now? I am in the game. I no longer defer to the coifed. I'm a player. |

"I say everyone dresses up in Wind Waker avatars in celebration of the impending Europe release!" You mean i have to get rid of george for a while?! :-o I dunno man... i've had george in my avatar for so long now... it would be really weird to change it. Unless ofcourse there's a middle-aged, bald, stocky guy in the windwaker who's unemployed and lives with his parents? :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"You'll be embarassingly giddy too once you play it. I think it's A LOT better than Ocarina of Time. They aren't even comparable." holy shit! :-o Do you even realise how much i love OOT? :-) I'm already expecting the windwaker to be a better game, but ALOT better?... i'm sorry, that just doesn't seem possible. Do you also think it's better than A Link To The Past? (well... if you're like me that is, and you prefer Link tt Past over OOT... otherwise this question makes no sense). If any game is ever going to be even better than Link To The Past... this has got to be it. From everything i've seen so far this is the only game that has the potential to beat that magical experience! "surrounded : I just e-mailed you. If it isn't in your inbox by the time you read this then it didn't make it." I received no mail from you i'm afraid :-( It didn't make it. Damnit! I hate it when that happens... stupid internet. Doesn't microsoft understand we want our email-systems to be reliable above all? I don't need any fancy extras, just give me a system that delivers mail. Always, all the time, without errors. Sigh. Well i recently deleted lots of old mail, so there should be plenty of room in my inbox. So that can't be the problem :-( I don't understand what might have gone wrong then... shame. I hope you saved it and can try again later :-) I also have a yahoo-addres if that helps? |

"Not only kirby himself looks cute, everything in the game looks cute. Even the hills in the background and all the enemies. Just looking at this game makes me happy" Yeah, after I'm done playing I want to sand every rigid angle on my body down to a smooth curve. "Unless of course there's a middle-aged, bald, stocky guy in the windwaker who's unemployed and lives with his parents?" There's a middle-aged stocky guy with a full head of hair that collects skull necklaces and lives with his mom... How's that? He's not really an 'official' character though so finding a screen shot of him will be tough. Come on, be festive! How about the Deku tree, that fits you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Do you also think it's better than A Link To The Past?" Although it's a close call I would say yes, it exceeds even Link to the Past. That's just my opinion though and I'm sure there are many that would disagree with me... Though I don't think you will. I keep playing the end battle over and over again - I'm never ever going to get sick of it. I keep forgeting if I'm watching a movie or playing a game.. "I hope you saved it and can try again later :-) I also have a yahoo-addres if that helps? " I think I saved it. Is the yahoo address more reliable? |
||||||||

What about your recycle bin? Surely your garbage stays packed in there for a few days before you empty it? |

haha, nice hair there georgie boy. I liked how you slipped in that "deride deride" quotes there haha. anyways george, you will LOVE wind waker guaranteed. just dont expect any bald middle aged men who live with their parents in the game...although I cant say ive exactly looked for anyone with those characteristics in the game. |

suggestion to george: you could get a zelda character for the avatar but stick your face over it... |

this time next week i'll finally have my nice, new shiny Zelda disk!! anyone read Edge magazine, they gave it 9/10 and the very rarely give games that score. |

Edge magazine? I don't know no 'Edge Magazine'. What other games have they slapped 9s on? Yuck, I just scratched my dog's ears and stuck my fingers in my mouth. surrounded: You could also be Talon from Lon Lon Ranch - He matches 4 of your 5 requirements at some part of the game.. Won'tch you do something? Anything? Just for mee? p.s. Jedi Master Christopher helped me paste together the remains of my letter and sent it to you... Turned out to be pretty much intact.. The force works in mysterious ways. |

"Surely your garbage stays packed in there for a few days before you empty it?" Yeah, but how could it end up in the garbage?! That means i would have had to delete it first... i would never delete your message. (unless you made the subject: "grow a bigger penis in 5-6 days, guaranteed!", i think i deleted something without reading it that had that subject ;-)) "Jedi Master Christopher helped me paste together the remains of my letter and sent it to you... Turned out to be pretty much intact.. The force works in mysterious ways." Yah, i received that one just fine :-) Thanks alot! I really like your drawings. (especially that octopus-like creature). I like how some parts of the pictures are extremely detailed and realistic, and other parts are just a few rough scetch-like lines on paper. It makes things look "unfinished" in a beatiful way. Like if, you would make the entire picture that detailed it would become too polished and a little boring. I can still write to your mail-address without problems, no? You seem to have received my last message just fine. Because jedimaster chris didn't have any problems reaching me, i don't think the problem lies within my addres :-s But you're welcome to try and send something to erik_roggeveen@yahoo.com... maybe that'll work better :-) I like your idea of snail-mailing alot though... we wouldn't be having any of these mails that mysteriously dissapear kind of problems that way :-) Plus a regular letter is just nicer to receive than an email. |

"You could also be Talon from Lon Lon Ranch - He matches 4 of your 5 requirements at some part of the game.." hehe, yeah true... but still... i like the idea of having an actual windwaker-character, since that's the game i'm anticipating so much. (i also thought of picking someone from Majora's Mask to mess with your head ;-))... but as you can see i now have a grandma-avatar. And even though a mini-george is still in there, i do feel somewhat naked without a regular george-avatar. Expect him back as soon as the game is released. But for now... i like joining in on the madness, hehe... it helps getting me even more excited about the upcoming release! :-D |

"I can still write to your mail-address without problems, no?" Yes, this is both fine and encouraged. "I like how some parts of the pictures are extremely detailed and realistic, and other parts are just a few rough scetch-like lines on paper. It makes things look "unfinished" in a beatiful way. Like if, you would make the entire picture that detailed it would become too polished and a little boring." Ahh, you've penetrated my genius.. I still have a long way to go though. I'm thinking of taking a few college courses on the human body and figure drawing. I need a stronger foundation. Everything I've learned, I've learned from my own observations.. Though there's obviously nothing wrong with that, I think classical training would provide me with some bridges and open up a variety of other options I didn't have access to before. Are you in school right now? |

cabbog, i will mail to you soon. I'm really busy at the moment with work, the upcoming competition-deadline (not to mention the releasedate of windwaker :-) Infact i should probably make that my personal deadline since i doubt i'll get any work done after i bought the game :-p)), and the fact that i've been feeling a little bit sick for the last couple of days. Not a nice combination. But otherwise things are moving along nicely. I've had alot of great ideas (i think), but i'll tell you about them in the mail. "I'm thinking of taking a few college courses on the human body and figure drawing." Yes i think that would be a good idea. I had alot of practice with that during my time attending artschool (which i already graduated from, so to anwser your question: no, i am not in school right now). And i learned alot from it! I think any human being will always be the hardest thing to draw... it's a struggle every time, no matter how many i've already done :-) It's just so complex! Even though i hardly draw realistic anymore, and i actually quite like all the "mistakes" i make (i tend to keep them in the picture and try to work with them, instead of trying to reach perfection), i still feel it's very useful if you have some basic knowledge and are able to make realistic human bodies. So i'd say go for it! :-) In the very least it will probably be alot of fun, and hopefully also a useful experience! |

oh... my... god....! Today is national holiday in the netherlands (to celebrate the birthday of the queen's mother). And there is a huge market in the town where i live. Even though i still feel sick (argh, my throat is so sore :-( My voice is almost completely gone too... this sucks) i decided to go and have a look anyway. And boy am i glad that i did! :-p Because i found a stand that was selling videogames (mostly 2nd hand used games). It was awesome, they had nes, snes, n64 and gamecube. I bought Yoshi's Story and Silicon Valley for N64 both. And the guy said he could probably find Kirby64 for me too... i have to mail him about that :-D But more importantly... whilst browsing all those games, my eye was suddenly caught by a gamecube-game in a gold box... yes that's right... i couldn't believe my eyes, but they were already selling zelda! With the bonusdisc (sadly the bonusdisc doesn't work for me though :-( It only supports 60Hz tv's, my tv is too old for that... damnit). But well... i'm too excited about the Wind Waker to care much for the bonusdisc at this moment. Cabbog, you weren't exagerating when you called this the best game ever... it's awesome... really... it's truly unbelievable. How can a game look and feel this good? I've only been walking around Outset Island for a little bit... not very far in the adventure yet. But the island feels so lively! So real... makes me wish i could actually live on such a wonderful place. :-p |

And all the little details! My god... the details!! The grass that sways gently in the wind, the footprints you leave behind in the sand... water dripping from your clothes if you've just come out of the sea. And when i picked up one of those little piggies and threw it into the ocean... thinking it would probably just dissapear. But no! They actually float and slowly swim back to the shore. Alot of programmers must have had alot of fun in creating this world with all it's details. It's already made me laugh too (in the house of the two old brother... hehe, them arguing. Well i won't say anything more. I don't want to be one of those spoilers :-o). I'm actually wondering what am i doing here typing this? :-p I desperately want to go back to my gamecube. |
