Top 5 Games I've ever played so don't get your panties in a bunch when i don't put your favorite game here if i haven't palyed it yet

1. Super Mario Bros 3 (NES)- The classic side-scrolling Mario games... man back in my day, we didn't have 3-D Mario. that N64 garbage can go back to where it came from. This was an improvement over SMB1 (#2 was whack. nothing like the first) with big stages, the ability to pick up shells, go backwards on the stage, earn items (with mini-games) and use them to help you on your way. Man I love this game. I still have it for my NES.
2. Super Street Fighter II (SNES)- a lot of you may be scratching your head here, but a lot of my childhood consisted of playing this game or others in the Street Fighter series and I gotta say this is the best fighting series ever.
3. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES)- When you think that they can't go anywhere after SMW, they do. intense mini-games vs. Bandit and inovative game play keeps this classic series rolling.
4. Double Dragon II (NES)- this is THE classic side-scrolling beat 'em up game. you can pick up weapons that enemies drop and use it against them (Y)
5. Yakuza (PS2)- yeah, it has its bugs and limitations, but honestly I have ever been so immersed (read: addicted) to an adventure game. The story isn't terrible and it's enough to keep things moving along and the fighting in this game is crazy. I like the different weapons you can use as well as using the environment to hurt opponents. as you can tell, I like weapons.

Honorable mentions: Hitman: Blood Money (PS2)- If the replayability factor was bigger, it would be up in the top 5. You won't be able to appreciate the little nuances and details in this game playing it only 1 time through.

Goldeneye 007 (N64)- The game to have for N64. The one that started the FPS craze, imo.

Super Mario Kart (SNES)- The best [kart] racing game ever. period.


note: yes, the top games are on older systems. they get brownie points for nostalgia.

Andrew wrote:I haven't played a Zelda game since Majora's Mask since I haven't bought a Nintendo console since the N64 but both Majora and Ocarina of Time rank up there as two of my favourite games past or present. I'd personally rank OoT as the better game since the three day period in Majora could get annoying at times, innovative as it was. Transforming into the different forms and all the subplots was definitely interesting but I think OoT succeeded in being the definitive tale of Zelda/Link/Hyrule.


Ocarina Of Time is by far the best game I have EVER played! I have both OoT and Majora, but I didn't really like Majora that much. I got about half way through that game and started a new file on Oot. I can never get sick of that game! :D

Mon May 21, 2007 9:54 pm

I actually haven't done any special move on Street Fighter except Hadouken. :oops:

EDIT: Scoop, did you get the Biggoron Sword in Ocarina of Time?

Top Five Worst Movies

1. Shallow Hal

There's about two or three memorable lines in the whole movie and they were given away in the trailer. A great example of the common failing of romantic comedy genre: an overly sappy plot in the guise of a feel-good story and jokes that aren't nearly enough to save it. Gwenyth Paltrow has said she made this one for the money. Enough said.

2. The Police Academy Series

I've never been a fan. A Homer Simpson quote pretty much sums it up. "Boy, when Marge first told me she was going to the police academy, I thought it'd be fun and exciting, you know, like that movie, "Spaceballs". But instead it's been painful and disturbing like that movie "Police Academy".

3. Super Troopers

Another situation where the better lines are shown in the trailer. The last five or ten minutes where the main characters decide "Fuck it, let's go out in a blaze of glory" has its moments but it's too little, too late.

4. Stealing Harvard

John C. McGinley probably has the finest moments in this one with a couple of very Dr Cox-like monologues but other than that it was a badly executed run-of-the-mill wacky comedy premise.

5. Legally Blonde/Just Married (tie)

The kind of movies you end up watching when there's a mixed gathering of friends and you're trying to find a movie that will appeal to everyone. In all fairness neither were terrible ideas but they're not my kind of movies.




and here i thought you and me were on the same page with most everything(specially since you reserved a spot for the simpsons movie i intend to see far too many times) then i see this post in which you put super troopers are one of the worst 5 movies. i will give on the other 4 but not this one. sure its not one of the best ever but cant be bottom 5, no way.

Tue May 22, 2007 3:26 am

Notes:
I never played Majora's Mask, but Ocarina of Time is one of the best games in the history of gaming across all formats.

Super Troopers is hysterical. It's got dozens of pure gold quotes and I can watch it over and over. Who doesn't like Rod Farva?

Tue May 22, 2007 6:11 am

I found Heroes on Saturday night. that show is pretty damn good. reminds me of X-Men.

Great show, I saw 6 episodes in a row on Saturday (Y)

Tue May 22, 2007 8:16 am

Heroes is awesome. Probably the best show out there right now.
Anyone knows if episode 19 was aired yet?

Tue May 22, 2007 9:56 am

absolutly love heroes, cant wait for the season finale tonight. anyway since this is my second post i guess i should make a top 5 list so here goes


my top 5 sexual experiences.

1. you know what, nevermind this topic lets try hmmm, i got it

my top 5 super powers i would want from the show of heroes(excluding sylar and peter)

1. healing. would really be nice to have but might take some fun away from life
2. telekenetics. this power just flat out owns everyone
3. super strength. who dont wanna be super strong
4. read minds. would be nice to know what people really think about you

the finale's airing in a few hours in the States. it's number 23.

all of the episodes are available to be streamed at nbc.com :wink:

Top 5 Heroes superpowers
1. Time travel- I've always wondered what it would be like if I could go back and change the past and live my life differently
2. Telekinesis- a lazy man's dream.
3. healing- it would be nice to not have to worry about dying young.
4. read minds- I'd like to know what people are thinking.
5. flight- you'll never need a car.

Tue May 22, 2007 12:26 pm

i had thoughts about some powers. like lets look at flying. next time you are in the car with someone else driving. stick your head out the window and keep your eyes open. do this on the highway going 65+ mph. now imagine trying to do that going 100? 200? and very high up. probably cant breath. most likly result would be passing out and dying lol.

time travel. changing anything in the past would drastically(sp?) change the future for everyone not just you, probably too dangerous a power to have.

super strength. i break stuff, alot, when i get mad. got help me if i had to pay/repair the damage i caused when angry with super strength. i bet everytime your team loses a close one you break whatever you are holding without trying.

and so on. so yeah i suck and have too much damn time to think

Tue May 22, 2007 12:52 pm

the only one i'd ever want is the ability to "stop" time

there was some disney movie that had a watch that made the kid really really really fast that gave the illusion that time had stopped.


Man that would be fun to have though :D

Tue May 22, 2007 1:08 pm

i guess stopping time would be lumped into the time travel since the dude in the show can do both.

I've been skydiving at over 100 mph (with goggles, of course) but it was an exhilirating rush.

Absolutely, which is why I'd rank OoT ahead of it; like I said, it's the definitive tale and if they ever made a Zelda movie they could pretty much use that plot verbatim. Of course, they'd have to condense it somewhat.

Possibly the greatest game ever released on the NES. (Y) I've still got the original somewhere though I've also got the whole trilogy as part of Super Mario All-Stars on the SNES. Double Dragon II was great too.

After I played through it a few times I vowed I'd put it aside but every so often I pick it up again and play through it again. The last time I played through it I decided to make a concerted effort to collect things I'd missed/not bothered with in previous play-throughs. I also tried to get to certain areas than the story generally allows and completed a couple of areas out of order to see what happens (if anything).

The odd thing is that it's the kind of movie I'd usually enjoy but I just didn't find it that funny when I saw it. I watched it during a video marathon with my cousin, maybe I was just a bit burned out on watching movies by that point.

Top 5 reasons not to sleep in:


1. It makes work start a hell of a lot faster.

2. It makes your pet dog piss on the floor outside your bedroom.

3. Well, beyond those 2, sleeping in pretty much rocks.

Top 5 Things I Hate about College Students (in no order)

Chewing With Their Mouth Open
This is just a pet peeve of mine, I don't understand how people can talk with food in their mouth and wonder why food drips down their shirt. I saw someone today try to talk while drinking....enough said. What's more, I dont understand why Im the only one who is disgusted by it. How can people eat with someone who can't keep their own food in their mouth? Gross.

The Sports Know-it-all
This is just funny....we have 4 TVs set up around the dining commons and I heard someone today state that "The Nets are probably going all the way this year." I wanted to turn around and bitch slap him. Whats funny though is he was "showing off" his "sports knowledge" to a girl. Good thing she was blond and wasn't watching Sportscenter which was on the TV right next to them.

Talking in a group in a Crowded area
There are 3 main areas in the Dining Commons. The place where you get your silverware, your drinks, and then where you put your tray to get cleaned. There is always one fucking group of know-it-alls who decide to stand right in the middle of each of those 3 damn places while at least 20 people are trying to get something to eat. Really is it that hard to move 5 feet away so people can easily take care of their trays?

Broken Cell Phone / Don't Know how to talk on a Cell Phone
This one is a blast. I heard someone explaining why they had to talk on the speaker phone because their phone was broken. He said "It's under warranty but I don't want to loose my ringtones/games/contact list/naked photos of myself." Lazy bum. The other thing I hate is the fact that some kids still dont know how to properly speak on a cell phone. They basically scream into it. I dont give a crap if you get poor service on campus, go outside or something because I dont want to hear screaming at the top of your lungs "what? what? what?" Talking louder won't let the other person hear you better dildo...

Attempting to use "Middle School Rules"
Finally the "middle school rules" Cuts, hold my place, ect ect. This is college, that shit dont work no mo' mang. I fucking love walking around trying to find a place to sit, and seeing half of the booths "filled" with bags, coats, or cell phones on the table. How stupid do you have to be to leave your cell phone on top of the table and expect it to hold your place and NOT have it get stolen? Also cuts, god that pisses me off. Me and my girl were in line to get something eat and some dipshit cut between us, then let 3 other people in behind him. She's too nice to say anything, and I'm oblivious of everything when I could be eating soon. But when she tried to get back next to me they complained and had a little hissy fit.

Another one I loved was this "hot" girl who snuck around the line around a pillar to get to the front. She tried getting in front of me and I boxed her out with my ass. To which she muttered and sighed. Then to piss her off more I said to my gf, "I dont know what I want yet, go in front of me"
:lol: hahaha, bitch.

Top 5 Simpsons 1 Liners (as in said with 1 character) that i can think of off the top of my head
1. Its a beautiful day Milhouse. The birds are singing, the bees are trying to have sex with them, as is my understanding.-Bart
2. To alcohol,the cause of, and solution to all of life's problems-Homer
3. Hi Supernintendo Chalmers.-Ralph
4. Well, he's kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace "accidentally" with "repeatedly," and replace "dog" with "son."-Lionel Hutz
5. Uh oh, Kwyjibo on the loose.-Bart
