hellyeah, man,...i havent got around to designing any dungeons quite yet,.....the program now allows .mp3 compatibility, so that helps a lot!......i've got "the color of the fire" for the intro sequence with the Turks.....(the game is based around NPCs from all different famous video games,...and the 5-6 playable characters i made up you see),......so it allows for some unique events to happen......
;) look for A LOT of square characters,....some nintendo,....and YES!!............solid snake!!!
you'll be surprised how many different charsets and resources you can find on the internet.

Okkk, so I finally got around to starting a quest in FFX-2....and *sigh* I thought at first it wouldn't be too cheesy, but damn I was wrong. Horrible pop influence AND a complete Charlie's Angels rip off. Ahhh, I don't know if I'm going to be able to continue on with this game....it's just too damn annoying right now. Although, the title screen music is good!!
Hm, the Street Fighter Anniversary collection comes out on the 31st for the PS2, so I will be picking that up. Can't wait to get back into playing some 3rd Strike. Need to brush up on my mechanics so I can start competing around the local arcades. Other than that....nothing new...just still trying to get better at UT2004. I can already see an improvement thxs to my new PC and Logitech mouse! :]

Hehe, FF X-2 isn't for everyone. I loved it, thought it was tons of fun. And the soundtrack is fantastic, especially the tune when you're fighting LeBlanc and her cronies. The gameplay is very simple, I don't think I changed from my Warrior costumes even once. Just button mashed and level gained my way to the end. But I don't play these games for anything but the story and environment, anyway.
The game abrupty changes tones about 60% of the way through, though... becomes less goofy, and more... generic. Fairly serious and grim. It feels a lot more like an FF game the nearer you get to the end.

my setup runs DOOM 3 just fine, and will no doubt run Half-Life 2
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (running at 2GHz) 1GB DDR RAM 80GB 7200rpm drive (a faster drive would be better though) nVidia GeForce 6800 GT 256MB Graphics Card
the graphics card was the most expensive in my setup, costing me £350. but the whole thing came to £980

i've been alternating between gunvalkyrie, jet set radio future, and otogi.
i'm on the last level in gv, which -- counting the bosses -- will probably give me sleepless nights; i'm trying to unlock everything in jsrf; and i'm halfway through otogi, where it's thankfully getting hard.
basically i'm loving my new xbox, but only for the sega games.

currently playing
Doom 3 I only can play it when I set everything to low :( but besides that: heavy to play(can´t play much longer than an hour), creepy and scary noises, great surroundings
Vietcong realistic game but not the best FPS I have played, exellent multiplayer game tho
No One Lifes Forever 2 this game is less heavy to play but not that cool good graphics nice multiplayer game

It's great! The controls are a bit awkward, but the style just screams Sega. And the soundtrack is among the best I've ever heard (cheesy in a good way). The menu music,sometimes I just leave that on for 10 minutes. The first level had a rousing track, too.
I have a few tracks on Soulseek, ''Killing Bedroom'' is from the second Valley level, I think. But I need more. Any idea where I can get this? I'm not buying it, I'm broke.
Gunvalkyrie, Otogi, Jet Set... you can get them for like 5 bucks each, it's just silly. Classic Sega games go straight to the bargain bin...

That was a reply to this Optimus' post about Gunvalkyrie.
I seriously would do anything for a 10 minute long MP3 of the character/level/weapon selection screen music.
And also for an MP3 of that dark techno music from the Metal Gear Solid 2 title screen. Anybody that knows where I can get it gets instantly modded.

finally beat Metroid Prime!! = ) it wasn't so hard after all, just had not to stress and use benzedium bombs often against the other metroids (i know it isn't benzedium but they're the ones used against benzedium)....
the ending is really deceiving though, especially after having finished Silent Hill 2 two days before..... well, i only got 68% (don't know why i got so low, i thought i analyzed everything i saw ' _ ' must have missed a lot but i don't know where...), i guess i suck, maybe the other endings are better - does anyone have pics of the better endings?

Haha, yeah. It blows. The scene where he throws a chopstick into a crook's ear is gold, though. Ambitious game, but ultimately a failure. I can't believe they're making a sequel.
Optimal- thanks for the link, I'll take a look around. Video game boards are the most violent and aggressive around, they're always fun. Anytime a big AAA game is released, blood flows. This one looks so busy... it's daunting.
Uzim- I'm thinking of starting a new Prime save to prepare myself for Echoes. What did you think of the Phazon Mines? That part stood out as the most difficult for me... there's a LONG sequence where you have to fight through the mines and about a hundred Space Pirates to reach a save point, I had almost zero health left when I made it. That part stood out like a sore thumb beacuse I think the rest of the game is far too easy, though... still awesome.
Silent Hill 4 comes out today. The soundtrack blows my mind (download ''Pulsating Ambience'' if you've never heard it, amazing track). This is the 2004 game I wanted more than any other. Today is the day.

talking about the ambiance, the Phazon Mines were ok but my least favourite along with the Magmoor Caverns... about the gameplay, i remember having several game overs there, i didn't like having to go there until i completed the "loop" and got a little better : )
the difficulty of the game was good for me, since i'm not very good it was challenging enough. (and it was long enough, which is a rare thing nowadays..! i don't know how long it took you but it took me 19 hours) i think i'll try to find some stuff i missed, there must be some more life capsules and missile recharges i haven't found yet (and lots of stuff to analyze but you can't find everything back if you missed it...)
Silent Hill 4 is only out on september 29th where i live, if i remember ' _ '
i'll have it for my birthday; i bought (and finished) Silent Hill 2 to keep me waiting a few days ago....

Ok, well at the moment I've been playing the following:
FFX-2 (As annoying as the game can be, I'm sticking with it, so far I'm in Chapter 2 en route to getting 100% completion.)
Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike (I got the SF Anniversary Collection and have been practicing with Ryu for arcade competition.)
UT2K4 - (Mostly been playing the MOD "Frag-Ops" which is esentially CounterStrike just with a few differences and using the Unreal Engine.)
Last week from Fry's I bought:
Star Ocean 3 Phantom Brave Street Fighter Anniversary Collection
And tomorrow I'm going to get:
Silent Hill 4
I have yet to beat Silent Hill 3, (the last thing I did was hop on the subway after beating the spider...haven't played for almost a month though.) so I have to make sure I complete this game before picking up SH4.

100% in FFX-2, and you don't even like it that much? That's dedication! I liked it alot, but not enough to deviate from the main path... I beat it with not even 50% (and I don't think I EVER took off the ''warrior'' costume or whatever it was, I literally just bludgeoned my way to the end). At the time, I had way too many games waiting to be played. Someday, I might go back and mop up some.
Warpphex- that's an analtissuetearing haul there.

final fantasy 8. i gotta say it, this is the best game in the series. i wasn't too into it when it originally came out, but replaying through it now, its really grown on me alot. better overall feel than 7, which was my favorite game of all time after chrono trigger.

Yeah, it's definitely my favorite Final Fantasy ever (although the gameplay is insipid... the only way to beat the last boss in an acceptable time frame is limitbreaklimitbreaklimitbreak using Fury or whatever it is). The soundtrack is eclectic as hell, the worlds are colorful and vivid, the women are beautiful... even the love story is convincing. I even enjoyed ''Eyes on Me'', great vocal hook. Squall is a great character, seems like he's going to be a miser like Cloud, and then... he isn't after all. The characters develop better than any FF before it, they're all useful. Great game.

i need to start playing 8 again, i finished it once several years ago and the only thing i really recall being nice was the love story "some part in space that was awsome ?"
I have now decided to give it another shot, i have been looking for a good game to enjoy for a while now.. and i completely forgot that there are loads of old good games, i have only been looking for what's coming, stupid me.
im currently playing ff x-2... but im soon giving it up as it seems to suck, am i right ?
good evening

X-2 is good, but it isn't for everyone. It helps if you're really affeminate.
I looked for Silent Hill 4 today, not in yet, anywhere in the city... fucking bogus, man, fucking BOGUS. But I did pick up Breakdown and Rainbow Six 3- Black Arrow.
Anyone play Breakdown? Looks interesting, a quirky Japanese '''first person adventure''... it was marked down like crazy, and I'm not expecting a great game, but I'm up for something different. If is wasn't for a 4 DAY CSI marathon on Spike TV, I'd be playing it right now.
OK, no I wouldn't. I'd be playing Black Arrow.

yeah, the music is awesome. i wish they'd pull the series back towards that more sci fi look. the whole college environment, love story, laguna flashback thing just works for me better than any other game in the series.
the battles are pretty bad though, but i've never been a huge fan of final fantasy battle systems. X probably has the best, but its my least favorite game in the series after 9.

Myst and Riven were some of the most important games in my childhood, i loved the places... : )
the riddles were far too hard for me at the time though (even now i think they're too far-fetched for me), i could never have finished them without the solution...
haven't got any of the latest ones though, i would but my computer's CD-rom player is noisy and i fear it would spoil the atmosphere ' _ '
