Contains the Ninth spirit needed to recover the plot.. Philip is listening to: The soundtrack to Parasite Eve 2. (Which is essentially a better score for the Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within movie then the score for Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.) Hey, I just bought a NES in perfect condition at a garage sale, except it didn't come with the AC adaptor or the RFU cables. I think I have CO-AX cables that'll do the trick for connecting it to the TV, but I can't find the AC Adaptor. Do you know the exact voltage requirements for a NES, or a store where I can buy an Adaptor? Can I find it at Radio Shack? I don't think buying it on the net will work, since the mail system where I live barely works anymore. Help? - Globe FlowerPhilip: I think it's 2 volts. Not sure though. It should say on the back where the AC plug is. You can find a replacement easily at Radio Shack. Ithought you had emulaters thats what the descrption said. You guys suk kind of like the stoners pot palace - PimpTheSuperElfPhilip: Which is why you grow your pot naturally, isn't it? Actually, the cartridges aren't really hot-swappable. If you remove a GB/GBC cartridge from the GBA (while it's on), it reboots in GBA mode 'cause the switch-thingy pops back up. Consequently, if you remove a GBA catridge and plug in a GB/GBC cartridge, the system reboots in GBC mode 'cause the switch thingy is down. It's a nice bit of engineering. - CX (discovered this the first day)Philip: However... GBA and GBA cartridges are hot-swappable. Let's say, down the road.. Nintendo and Square got back together and made a port of something that wouldn't fit in one 512 MB cartridge. Like.. let's say an RPG with graphics like FF9. At times, the game would pause and say: "Please switch to Cartridge 2 or 3, etc." The cartridge would revert to a screen similar to the GBA start up mode. And your current "data" would be stored in the GBA's 56k on-board memory. (Which is what it uses to do multi-player games with one cartridge.) Then you would put the second cartridge in and press START+SELECT to make it go again and continue playing. Or not. Most likely, the START+SELECT serves as some sort of test feature. She's a woman? Well, you've come to the right guy. I know everything about women. Well, everything there is to know about them. And that's why they call me by name, the one and only Hey Joe, whaddya know? - JoePhilip: A brilliant example to us all. Hey, I went to EB last weekend, and the employees there didn't treat me like crap - they readily accepted my GB games that I traded and happily handed me a copy of Super Dodgeball...it was weird!Philip: Yeah. A.I. was really good. Hey, I have some cool stuff that you should check out if you have the Zelda: Oracle games! No player's guide has these, but they're cool!Philip: Got cut off!!! Shame, shame, Phil. You no update. What is wrong? Giraffe got your briefcase?Philip: I got that story I think.. I have stuff to upload.. high scores for NY city on THPS2?Philip: Hmm.. thinking.. forgot. Too tired to check. GBStation is closing down. That's not good. Maybe we can send the blue virii to live in their servers. - Superguy3000Philip: I think the Blue Virii would do more harm or... hmm... maybe we should send them? Dude... it definitely is a flicker control... it's the same concept as a flicker control for a computer monitor... if you make the flicker higher, than the LCD's won't activate as often, giving the imagePhilip: It's not really flicker control.. it's actually a resistor. So, it's just something to not be messed with. What is it with these stupid game names. Take Super Mario Bros for instance. Why are the Super Mario Bros called Super if they don't wear capes when they're Super? All heroes with Super in their names are supposed to wear capes! The Super Mario Bros can't fly, can't shoot lasers, all they do is get bigger. They don't even look that different when they're big. Ok, so they can shoot fireballs and do other stuff by getting get power ups, but they're not called Super anymore. When Mario gets a power up his name changes in queer ways. These names can also be used for Luigi. It's not Super Firey Mario, just Firey Mario. It's not Super Racoon Mario, just Racoon Mario. Ok, Mario does get a cape is Super Mario World, but he's not called Super when he wears it. Just Cape Mario! What!!!!!! The one form that actually looks like Super is not called Super! What's up with that. What kind of super heroes are these! Mario and Luigi can't use any super powers in their super form! These guys stink! - The RanterPhilip: That rant is best read in a Swedish accent. has anyone realized that the 4th of july lost all its patriotism back in the 60s?now its just an excuse to drink beer and blow shit up...not that i mind that much,i actually tend to exploit it 0_- - titan25Philip: Patriotism is dead. It has been dead in America for some time. Which is really a shame. I blame it on stupid people and boredom. Castlevania: COTM is a true 2-D accomplishment. Whoever designed the enemies in that game is a genious. The bosses are amazing. My favorite? Not a dragon, not a zombie, not one, but two dragon zombies! And when you kill one, the other one starts eating the dead one to get health back! I LOVE THIS GAME! - Admiral TailzPhilip: Hell yeah!! Also check out Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword! |
