This one's got the sound effects synced with the music... and quite well, most of the time.

There's also a lot of different songs used.



Partial Musical Spoiler: (Spoilered in case someone wants to take a stab at guessing these)
Spoiler:

Touhou: Invisible Full Moon, Flight of the Bamboo Cutter ~ Lunatic Princess, Doll Judgement

Mega Man: Mega Man 2 - Dr Wily Stage 1

Super Mario World: Normal level. Unsurprisingly.

Final Fantasy: Prelude

Oh.

THAT server.

With the utterly ridiculous donation items, level cap about a hundred and twenty levels too high, and rates around 75 above the highest I'm willing to play on.

Yeah, you won't be seeing me there. Ever.

That dungeon was made for parties, not for soloists... of course, it could've been edited there to make it even harder.


If anyone's curious about why I dislike higher caps, here's one demonstration: Str vs. Int.

As some of you know, the Str boost to Atk (and Dex, when you use ranged weapons) gets stronger with higher Str; while 10 gets you an extra 2 Atk, 100 gets something like 16 extra, on top of all the other 10-point bonuses and the basic Str boost. Int isn't so lucky. Int's boosts are for your minimum MAtk, IIRC, 5 every 7 points, and maximum MAtk, IIRC 7 every 5 points. It doesn't matter how much Int you have, the bonus doesn't change.

Or, exponential vs. linear growth, basically. Int gets screwed, as it's the linear one.

I can shorten this further:

Quit Xeogredding.

Seriously. There aren't many people here, true. And activity leaves a bit to be desired. But, look at the good aspects:

1. There's almost no troublemakers here. The last post in Abuse was over two months ago.

2. Though there aren't many people, it's mostly a lack of newbies, not that old members are leaving (some still likely don't know about the new URL, but very few talk to me in AIM, so I can't help much there)

3. Like Vulkar said, almost no staff forum threads are good things. I've tried to rectify that with a few suggestions, but it's still overwhelmingly used for bad things. That is their nature, and when they're empty, that's a good thing.

I've had a fallout with MMORPGs recently... I just came to the realisation that they are bland, grinding games with no real skill involved and very little reason to play except for "LULZ I GOTZ LEVEL 255 I ROOL"...


In my limited PVP experience in World of Warcraft, I'd have to disagree, considering the fact that my rather poorly-equipped Rogue killed multiple twinks that were one to four levels higher than him.

There's also my City of Heroes experience, which indicates much the same thing; though I had crap for Enhancements, clever use of my limited Temporary Powers carried me through situations that killed the rest of the team.

Then the tiny amount of skill required to make a balanced character is reduced further when private servers have the option to reset stats, and nearly all high rate servers do...

Er... that doesn't reduce the skill needed, that just reduces the time it takes. And I've been through the "time does not equal skill" rant before. (hell, look at the WoW example; I did that only a month or two into the game.)

I needed a good ass kicking from you guys
What the hell are you using past tense for?

I tried joining ACMLM and JUL, but it was alot like the SA forums. Too many inside jokes, and assholes there who think they are funny by ridiculing people. Cept you can join it for free.
As an observer, and someone who ridiculed you there a few times, you did make an ass of yourself a few times, much like you did here a few times.

Am I booring?
Yes.

You bastards.
Thanks!






most of this, of course, was a joke.

Additionally, at least at the one here, you can get normal tacos for 59 cents on Sundays.

Have you guys seen this or tried that "new" chicken sandwich?

Seen it advertised, heard nothing about it being free with a drink... but since I get a large drink every time I'm there (it's a better value than a 1L bottle; costs less, same size or bigger), I'll look into it next time I'm out...

Agreed, sadly.

I still think we'll be getting a Democrat into the White House, there seems to be enough hatred for Bush to overcome the bickering between the Democrats...

True, WoW and City of Heroes may be different
While the gameplay mechanics are similar (btw, what other kinds of games do you play? we can do this same thing with basically any game if you really want to play the "everything's the same" card), there's at least a story behind them, usually a pretty well-written one.


, but I don't want to have to pay £5+ per month to play them and spend thirty hours grinding my character before I can get the decent quests...

You know... I actually enjoyed most of even the low-level quests I did in WoW, once I got out of the tutorial-style ones, and learned my limits. I quit because of the idiots on that server...

Especially when it is the other way around. When someone, God Forbid, does it to him. That my friend, is hilarious. I think another way of putting it is poetic justice? Hell if I know.

Hell, when it's well done, even I enjoy it.

Unfortunately, it's typically left medium-rare at best.

I was gonna type out my own thoughts, but Rogue's got the right idea.

I will add though that it's dangerously close to hypocrisy to suggest a newbie forum that you admit will end up spammed and yet suggest deleting the craziness forum because you consider it spam.

That said, never sat down to watch them. I did laugh during Silence of the Lambs, though...

On topic... I'd have to echo the "it can't possibly be good" sentiment. I'm not sure if it'll end up being so bad it's good, or so bad it's horrible, but I'm sure someone here will tell me all about it.

First:

Gamestop = EB Games. Same company. EB Games got bought out a few years ago.

Second:

I live in a small town, I'll never know the joy of a place better than Gamestop Until I move, anyway.
