Dude, Phil, when I went skiing, there was this trail called Phillip's run. Needed you to know.

Anyhow, I was wandering around shockwave.com and I found Jay Sherman. I think everyone on the planet should watch the new critic series at Shockwave.com. Features a guest appearance by the star of Pokémon 2000. It's hilarious. Hilarious I tell you.

hi - yura

Where have the Nintendorks gone? I miss them so. - Gemini

I sent a letter to Sen. Lieberman today.  It was not a pleasant letter.  Wait, no, back that up.  It was grammatically pleasant, though the subject was not.  Scratch that-- I was polite, but nasty.  Dammit...  What I mean is, I didn't curse at him, no matter how much I wanted to. - CX

mmmmm...... Pikamom cookie. *grabs one and eats it* mmmmmm nice and Pikamomey - Aerostar

well, to lighten the mood of this way too serious site.... phillip, if you were a bunny, what color would you be? - Jumbo

Oh god. I'm so sorry about the image quality of Paul & Ivan #9-18. I scanned 'em bad. 
On a lighter note, I've got #19-25 (or more) ready to go, so i'll try an' scan 'em better. - Matt Stefaniuk, Sadistic Monkey Extraordinaire!

Hi, I wanted to tell you that although all of my previous posts were extremely funny, I have to get serious for just once. My gerbils died anyway. They died small. very small. Yamauchi. A bit of respect for the man wouldn´t be in the wrong place, I don´t go yell at my old and wise grandfather that he´s an old senile bastard (Wait, I do, But that´s none of your business, Yamauchi is rich, if I defend him, maybe there´ll magically appear 30.000 dollars on my bank account... but I live in Holland so it would probably be 13000 guilders or something. very. relevant. info.). Yamauchi. I just love him, his pretty face, his close-to-death-so-when-I-marry-the-guy-I-am-gonna-get-a-lot-of-money-very-soon 
status, there´s just so much to love about him. Oh, and I heard he sort of owns a videogame company too (No one owns anything today, you have percentages, or stocks... I don´t know, I don´t wanna know, I´m not interested. but this post is gettin way too long. sorry.) The man just wants to tease Square because they didn´t support the big N in the past year, and he´s right. Although I wouldn´t mind seeing Secret of Mana on my little LCD. Being serious hurts. Ouch. I´m stopping now. Good luck with the site. Oh, and don´t worry, I´m gonna try to be funny next time! - Mark

Jethro McBiggun- you can turn off those "garbled" voice sounds you mentioned in your review of Mario Tennis GBC by changing the message speed to fast. But unlike you, I actually like that sound fx and am willing to put up with more of a wait for the messages just to hear it. Reminds me of tiny squeaks. - pikamom

RARRR! Update DMG Ice Mobile! It's been October 16 for the last... 3! months! - sponge

THIS IS A NEWS UPDATE:

FAMILY MATTERS HAS REACHED A RECORD TOPPING 48 HOURS OF PLAY TIME ON MY COMPUTER.

THAT'S 2 DAYS OF THE FAMILY MATTERS THEME SONG!

FEAR IT! - Darkterran

Arrrgh! I'm going crazy! I think I'll email IGN pocket and offer $100 for that Shantae demo.... maybe more. I must have that game!

Where are the publishers? C'mon, this game is to the Gameboy what Bernard the Bard was to Megazeux! $100? what am I talking about? I'd give up a weeks pay for it! (anywhere from $250-$300) I wouldn't pay that much for a game system, much less a game! (Which is why I never owned a Neo*Geo)

I might even give up my NGPC for Shantae.... well... hmmm.... SNK Vs. CAPCOM.... well... I'd have to think about that one. But I've at least considered it!

On a side note, have you noticed that the most beautiful GB games also seem to be the most fun? Too bad it's not that way on other systems.

And if Sega is indeed going to be friendly with the GBA, does that mean we'll see Red Company games on it? (Sakura Taisen, White Illumination...) That would be tight... but I still want Shantae!

Anyone who hasn't seen the harpy video (over at IGN pockey) should. The walking animation is to die for. The frogging _walking animation_! That's insane! It looks like a Harpy walking and they don't even exist! Wayforward is GOD! (play Xtreme Sports for GB) And if it's true the levels are set up in a Metroid fashion then I can die a happy man! (Uh... after I get married and live a long happy life, that is)

The only thing that can come close to Shantae is insane ramblings like SNK making a fighting game on the GBA or something.

I want Shantae.

P.S. Forgive the obscure refrence to Megazeux

"I've got my troubles,
and my troubles, they've got me.
It aint easy being an object,
In a game called ZZT."

I had this dream that as i was  driving through Kanas I saw a billboard that had a cukemon on it so i drove over there. upon closer expection i saw a small building with a colorful sign that said "DMG Store". In awe i walked in and saw you behind a glass counter,I grabed a cell phone and called you and asked what your favorite scary movie was, you said "Scream" so I hang up the phone and went to the counter and bought the mouse pad i really want to buy, I went to the back room and jumped on this jumpy thing that hit you against the ceilingat the end of it i saw you with a squirt gun, shooting me, then you stopped and i asked you a question that ever daunts my subconcious, how long will DMGICE last, I know you answered but i forgot immedietly, then walked outside then i woke up,

That was the most interesting dream i`ve had since I foresaw my friends ditching me .... odd.... - pikalo

Why does Sega bother to develop for PS2?  Well, simply put, SONY OWNS THE MARKET despite the fact that their system is a STUPID P.O.S. and their games ARE SO BAD THEY MAKE ME WANNA PUKE.

Why does this happen?  Because of those MORONS AT SQUARE WITH THEIR BRAND NAME.  Despite the fact that most of the original staff that worked on the SNES games is gone, replaced by a team THAT WOULD BENEFIT TO EMPLOY MONKEYS, they still have the brand name that people associate with good SNES memories.  Another reason is because people think that JUST BECAUSE A GAME SYSTEM CAN PLAY A DVD MOVIE they assume that the system IS THEIR NEW GOD.  Not to mention Sony's marketing department is a bunch OF LYING GITS WHO THROW OUT BIG, UNATAINABLE POLYGON NUMBERS to make people think that games will look realistic.  I've seen MGS2 and Shenmue 2 - I think they look just the same.  On a related note, GRAPHICS NOW DRIVE GAMES, not the actual gameplay.  Pick up any game magazine - it's only going to say "The game looks incredible" or "The game is goregeous".  At the end of the article, it might say "Oh, by the way, the game sucks, but buy it anyway to stare at the lovely pictures!"  Since people have seen aforementioned TOTAL BS NUMBERS they automatically assume that games will look goregeous.

And that's why Sega has to develop for Square to survive. - Jethro McBiggun

Thank you Phil,

You did a nice job editing my Great Greed review. 

I wrote it when I was in a hurry.

After I sent it, I pulled it up again and thought, "Yikes, that first paragrah absolutely sucks!".

But you fixed it. - Robin

YAY ! I got my 500th Post on Jan 25, 2001 ....... LETS CELEBRATE !

*hands a small foy plush to everyone .... and a small arbok plush too ... Happy Chinesse New Year !* - Imakuni? Neo with a New Suit after emperor_cinderbane chewed it

Yay, mp3 has regained the sixth circle! - The Heptagon

Is Jazzman dead? - Beefy_B

Nintendo would officially be the best company ever if they killed daily radar with their lawsuit. Take their ad I saw in PC Gamer. "Do puppies go to hell?" It asked. Who the hell cares?! I want video game news! Which is what you and Nintendorks are for.

Also, I told you I was working on a comic...well, still working. I want everyone to like it. I will tell you this to pique your interest. The main character is a robot named Jump-Bot with modular arms, meaning, he can attach different things for hands...hilarity ensues! You will all love it, I hope! If you don't, you can have my first-born Magby. But I need to get Ditto in the mood first..wink wink. Till then... - Admiral Tailz

Noooo!  I try to post a Viral Speak and it glitches every time!  And I have something worth posting (HA!) this time..... If it doesn't work this time, I'll just post it on the general board.

Unfortunately for your poor readers, it's the next part of Charzilla...

[scene # after whatever.  Charzilla has walked on a little ways, leaving Ash on the bottom of one of its footprints.  He's sort of still OK, since otherwise this episode would be really short.]

Ash: Owwww...  I've gotta get that Master Ball ready... 

[Ash gets the Master ball out of his backpack.  It sparks, then breaks apart in his hand.]

Ash: Augh!  It squashed my best ball!  I'm going to have to do this the hard way...  Butterfree, go!

[TV continuity going to hell, Butterfree comes out of its Pokeball]

Ash: Butterfree, I want you to fight that!  [points at Charzilla]

Butterfree: REE? Beefree..(Translation: 'THAT!?  I'm screwed...')

[Charzilla watches what Ash is doing, looking slightly smug]

Ash:  Butterfree, hit it with... gee, what does Butterfree have that would work... uh, Poison Powder!!

Butterfree: Breeee! (Hope this works...)

[Butterfree flies in Charzilla's face, and throws off a huge cloud of Poison Powder.  Charzilla smirks, takes a deep breath for a Flamethrower... and inhales most of the cloud]

Ash: All right!  You got it!  Now, Butterfree... DUCK!

[Psyduck comes out from where Misty is hiding]

Psyduck: Psy?

[Psyduck gets fried by the wave of fire Ash told Butterfree to duck. When the fire goes away, there's nothing but a bit of dust left]

Brock: Ouch. I think that counts as a 'faint.' - NeoVid
