Never owned a PS1, but play Metal Gear Solid if you haven't. Great game. I played it on my PC.

Was it double barreled? Pump action? Why am I so curious?

Superman 3...I have vague memories of a woman turning into a robot at the end...or something. Isn't that with evil Superman too? Returns looks cool or at least the trailer does. It might have something to do with the original score playing in the background. I still love listening to the Fortress of Solitude track.

Nihilus: Powerful but a slave to that power. He(It?) had no control over it which was his ultimate undoing. Sion: Sion was also powerful but he had no purpose to that power. No direction or motivation other than wanting to be the favorite pupil. I mean you could TALK him into destroying himself. Malak: Ruthless and malicious but also lacking a true understanding of the power he wielded. He didn't understand that true power comes within, not from limitless fleets and ultimate destruction. Kriea: I still don't understand her. Death of the force, wounds and echoes...there is no doubt that she was manipulative and shrouded in mystery, which makes it hard to get a true measure of her real power. Revan: The prodigal knight, the heart of the Force. A great leader and strategist. Revan was willing to make sacrifices to acheive the greater goal and was willing to sacriface him/herself to acheive...well whatever goals he/she had in mind. Good or Evil, Revan mastered him/herself and mastered those around him/her both through compassion and an iron fist. People died willingly for Revan and sweared loyalty till the end. Revan knew that true loyalty was not inspired by only fear but through a combination of action, leadership, honor, compassion, fear and loyalty to the men he/she commanded. I better stop before I go all lovey dovey on Revan.

Revan could come from Revenant as well. Revenant meaning one that comes back from death or after a long period of absence.

We aren't talking about the NES version of Ninja Gaiden are we? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Probably the Xbox version. The first bosses of the NES versions are pushovers. I've seen gameplay movies of the first boss on NG xbox and it looks damn hard.

I don't remember exactly HOW I beat Battletoads. I mean it was years ago. I did use the warps and the extra lives trick available on the 2nd stage. Whacking the birds continuously on the way down the vertical tunnel. The platforming elements of each stage were a matter of practice. I thought this came was the best game I ever played at the time so I had lots of practice. The stage I had the most trouble with was that water world with the sequences where you had to run/swim away from a huge gear rolling towards you. The last vertical spinning tower stage was easier. I remember the trick to beating the bosses was using a super attack to bash them into the air then positioning yourself so you could use another super attack as soon as they landed and to keep that process going as long as possible. They still manage to crush you from time to time though.

Might want to check the BC list for the 360 , see if those games are on there. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardco...tygameslist.htm <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Heh, all of them are. Guess I'll buy a 360 when the time comes then. Which is after the price has dropped.

You must play n00bs only <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Another funny thing to do when playing a noob is as a Protoss. Make a Dark Archon with the Mind Control ability and Arbiters with the recall ability. Use a drop ship to land the dark Archon at the enemy base, preferably Terran or Zerg. Immediately mind control one of the harvester units and immediately have the Arbiter recall both Dark Archon and the mind controlled unit back to your base. Use mind controlled unit to build terran or zerg forces and attack the opponent with those. It's especially funny when you attack the opponent's Terran base with two fleets of battlecruisers. This only works with noobs as you can probably tell.

Before any of there I still have to buy myself an Xbox and Gamecube. Maybe for Christmas... Xbox so I can play Ninja Gaiden Black, Jade Empire, Crimson Skies and Halo 2 Gamecube so I can play MGS Twin Snakes, Eternal Darkness and all the Mario and Zelda games. Damnit. As for Next Gen well I'm undecided. I'll probably just build myself a new awesome computer(mine is getting old). Then I'll see what games eventually come out for the various systems. Nothing has really interested me in the various consoles(I'm speaking strictly gamewise here) except for MGS4 for PS3 and Mass Effect for 360. So it's too early to tell.

Most excellent

I beat Battletoads! But I never beat Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES. I always got up to the Technodrome beat that then couldn't figure out where to go once I got in there. Those space rocket guys that just would not die were pretty annoying too. Hmm..I remember the end boss for Double Dragon 2 being pretty hard. I had to use that trick where you got extra lives to beat him. The end boss for DD3 was pretty hard too. Damn egyptian mummy princess. I think I only beat her once. What else...what else...oh yeah, Who Framed Roger Rabbit(NES). The end boss is hell. The only effective way to damage him was to charge up your punch meter to the fullest then whack him. Too bad it only took like a teensy bit of life off him. I never had the patience to see it through. Anyone rememeber Pro Wrestling for the NES? That game got really hard towards the end. Never beat it. Mike Tyson's Punch Out! Never was able to knockout Mike Tyson. I probably could have with practice but my parents wouldn't buy me a copy. Right now I'm playing Soul Calibur 2 on Extremely Hard difficulty setting and the cpu reads all my moves and blocks or guard impacts my every attack. It's really frustrating but it keeps you on your toes.

I agree. Make new ones that fit with the prequels rather that changing the originals to fit the prequels. Then we could have a decent Obi-wan/Darth Vader fight in episode 4. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I like that fight scene. It kind of makes sense that at that time both Vader and Obi-wan would use simpler more direct attacks rather than the fast and furious spin fest they had in Ep. 3.

I'm waiting for the super-duper special edition where digitized Han and Greedo trade shot after shot, turning the cantina into a digitized flaming mess in the process.

I smell desperation.

Who is Brainiac? I know Zod is that bald guy from Superman 2?

Beyond Divinity. It's a lot harder than the first one. Soul Calibur 2. Currently playing Yunsung. I'll pick up 3 for Christmas. I haven't gotten around buying any new games in awhile. There aren't any games that really pique my interest right now. Plus I'm saving up for a new computer so I'm saving all the money that comes into my grubby little hands.

All these pics are scary. Except for the Predator one. The governator has pretty impressive muscles...that look good too.

Can you imagine fighting in something like that? But cool costume.

I dunno, rugby players look pretty strong.

I would watch it, but probably when it comes out on DVD. T2 was the best Terminator for me. If you didn't get even a teensy emotional when Ahhold gave the thumbs up at the end, there's something wrong with you. Garrgh~ stop with the Arnold butt images...they made me think of Patrick Swayze's behind shot in Roadhouse. So now I have two male butt images in my head. I gotta watch some lesbian porn.

Do professional football(soccer) teams have cheerleaders? They seem to have an abundance of people beating each other up during games. So two drunk cheerleaders having sex vs. soccer hooligans beating the crap out of each other. I go with the cheerleaders.

I want to drop those kids and their family in the middle of Asia somewhere and see what happens. Maybe they'll see that there is in fact an entirely different world out there.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Rice Milk Halloween Candy(M&Ms, Reeses Cups) Mmm..
