Thank you T.M. Riddle. You're message was somehow repeated 650 times. I want to thank Yahoo! as well. You two gave me the shock of my life. Instead of going and seeing something like 80 new messages.. I saw 756. Amazing. You should know that I was shocked and amazed. It was like... "Huh?" I'll bet Britney Spears gets less e-mail per day... *snickers* I know Christina Aguilera don't get that much e-mail. And with that said, I will now plunge this sword through your damn book.

Go Liberman! Use your nonsense attack! - Trainer Salohcin Geen
Philip: Yikes! The Nonsense Attack!
Foy has cool eyeballs. - The Heptagon
Philip: I think eyes are the coolest feature of anythings anatomy. I mean, you see their eyes. When you see their eyes.. they see you too.
*Walks up to the staffer's cloud*

Y'know, I used to be up there! Ya kicked me off because ya never gave me a job!

*The cloud opens up*

Whuzzis?

*Phantom is stricken five times with lightning blasts*

Phil: We never really liked you, anyway. - The Phantom Gamer

Philip: Umm. . you were supposed to write reviews or editorials and you didn't do that.. you disappeared for a looooooooooooong time. And now you're back after we got the domain name. Umm.. besides, the staff is full right now.
You just got JFG this week, Phil?  For Shame!  He should have picked up one of the greatest games of all time the day it came out and payed $50 for it, like I did!  Sad to see that the price is so low, I makes me fear that I won't get to see 128-bit of Drone-splattering goodness on Game Cube. - Sebulba113
Philip: Hey.. I was like "Looks okay.. don't know though." But, it was on SALE; so I thought. "Yeah! I'll get it!" I think it's awesome. Jazz says it may be better than Perfect Dark. I for one think it is better than Donkey Kong 64. Although.. I dunno about better than Perfect Dark.. I mean, not the N64 version. Oh, Rare! For a sequel.. I want to be able to grab and drag a gaurd. Why? Because. I think it would be great to grab a gaurd by the shirt and drag him kicking and screaming to the side of the roof and throw him off. Could you imagine multi-player then? And if they made only bottomless pit falls deadly, it would be more interesting. No weapon? Sneak up a player, disarm him, then grab him and slam him into a wall to temporarily blind him. Then grab his gun and frag him. Imagine fighting in the temple of the facilty! Is someone trying to climb up the grates in the bathroom? Grab 'em then, smack 'em against the stall wall, toss 'em over a railing to get 'em away from you! Grab boxes and loose articles to use them for blocking a door temporarily.
Hey, Philip. I gotta question for you? What do you think is going to happen with the next-generation console wars? This is what I think. Dreamcast will die when PS2 and GameCube come out like Saturn did when PSX and 64 came out. PS2 is gonna do really well for a bit until GameCube comes out then it would be GameCube vs. PS2 like it was 64 vs. PSX. Then Microsoft is gonna come out and be like the next Sony. That's kinda like a summed up version, what do you think is gonna happen? - Ramzi
Philip: That's probably about right. Although, I support the Dreamcast. It has a better software line-up then the PS2. I mean, PS2 has precisely ONE game that I think is nifty. Metal Gear Solid 2. Look at the Sega line-up. Online sports games, Space Channel 5, Jet Grind Radio, Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure, Phantasy Star Online, Shen Mue, Chu Chu Rocket, Seaman, Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Samba De Amigo, Sonic Adventure 2, Soul Caliber, Quake 3 Arena, Half Life, Unreal Tournament, and many more. It's a much more varied line-up then the current PS2 software in Japan.
Okay, I've got to go on a little rant about something that's been bugging me: Pokébashing.

Case in point: www.pokemoncafe.net.  I've talked to the kids that run it (They're like, 13 and 14) and they seem nice.  

Then bring up Pokémon.

They'll fly off the handle, "Oh God Pokécrap sux foo!" and stuff like that.  But let's examine this.  They say that they hate it, but they have a site that, although it's all negative, is devoted to it.  Not only that, but the REGISTERED A DOMAIN NAME just so that the could bash Pokémon.  Doesn't it seem odd that they are REALLY into this?  They tell why they turned to Pokémon haters, but it's always all about the card game, and how Nintendo was making "Too Much Money".  Screw the card game!  I hate the Frickin' cards!  I hate every other aspect of the whole Pokémon phenomenon!  "TOO MUCH MONEY"?  It's capitalism, people!  Look at the NGC screens - That's Pokémon at work.  All the cards, the Burger King Kid's Meals, the party favors, school supplies, even that fruity anime - The money that Pokémon made is paying for Metroid, Zelda, and everything Nintendo has to offer!  But it's about the hate of GB games that gets to me.  People instantly assume that Pokémon is "A little kid's game" It's a deep, involving RPG that anybody can get into if they just put aside their prejudice.  

People are too concerned about their "Image" of "Coolness" to bother with "A little kid's game."  Face it, you can't be "cool" to everybody.  Look, people, if you don't like it, fine, but shut up about it and let us enjoy it.  Why put so much effort into something if you hate it?

If the staff of pokemoncafe.net reads this, I'm not exclusively bashing your site.  This is just a general message.  Thank you. - T.M. Riddle

Philip: You're evil, you know that..
That's weird how your name is only spelled with one L. - Foyusa the Bakufun
Philip: The other "L" is somewhere in Nevada making more money then me.
The lizard thing is Gollum. And didn't he end up being a hobbit or something? I don't know, I've only read "The Hobbit." - Dungeon Man
Philip: Gollum dies. Go read "The Return of the King". I think that's the right one. You know what would rule? Ever seen the BBC productions of the Narina books 1,2,3, and 4? (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Prince Caspean, The Voyages of the Dawn Treader, and A horse and his Boy.) Why not do the Space Chronicles, or Tolkien's "Middle Earth" books that way? Oh, D&D the Movie.. is it going to rock or what?
Help! I have been captured and put into a bad GBC game! - Joanna Dark
Philip: I'll save you!
If you wanna do an MST, where do you send it? - Cubic Matter
Philip: You send it to me, when it is complete. If you want to learn the ways of MSTing.. NeoVid will corrupt you... umm.. help you..

Take "foy to mean what ever you want.  ^_^ - Misty

Philip: Oh, she baked us a pie! I love it when Misty makes pastry.
I think Akemi should be the next Diva!  Ya! - me
Philip: Hmm...
Seems rather ironic that Perfect Dark for N64 is so cool and the one for Game Boy is a stinker. Like those titles that ride the hype train for months, then turn out to be boring and ill-conceived. (coughcough Superman 64 coughcough) It's a dark (heh heh) day for us Game Boy fans... :( - Axem Blue
Philip: Yeah. At least we have Metal Gear Solid and Fortified Zone for our Espionage Goodness.
3 DAY WEEKEND!!! YAY! You won't eat Tentomon, right? He's Foy's cousin. - Globe Flower
Philip: I only eat certain Digimon. I'll leave Tentomon alone; because he's Foy's cousin. However.. pass the Lilymon! Bwa ha ha!
thanks, philip. i was ready to go buy perfect dark gbc! is it that bad? - gemini
Philip: I thought it was bad on many levels. Rare should have.. changed it completely. It seemed thrown together and well.. bad. Rare isn't doing so hot with their GBC games. Although Mickey's Racing Adventure was brilliant. Unless something goes horribly wrong.. Donkey Kong Country is dead on damn good. Although, Mega Man X was game of E3. With Warlocked, DKC, and Cannon Fodder close behind. Not to mention Daikitana GBC and Gauntlet Legends; both good.
What has that Pilipseses have in his pocketses... that filthy philipses has my preciouses gameboy advanced! - Gollum
Philip: I'll put on this ring and be INVISIBLE! He he he...
Will they make the ultimate party game... for the Atari 800, at least.... for the GBA? btw, I'm talking about T.G.I.F. (They've already made the Berzerk clone for GBC) - Lucifer
Philip: You know what would rule? And Palm OS fanactics will agree.... PocketRougue GBC would be peachy, guide your ASCII Warrior to find the treasure! Look! Go!

***************@******B*****$***BB

Look out for the Bats, my warrior! Fight and win the Treasure.

I hit Liberman's picture and know my hand hurts. - Slim Shady
Philip: Cool.

Philip: Do you know how cool you are? I mean, you're cool. You sent in those Palm OS dmgice.com shots. And now you give me a link to something so very awesome. You're cool.
Pika!
My friends here at DMGice taught me how to make this gif and post it! - pikamom
Philip: I like to see readers helping each other. It's pretty cool. Cute GIF. ^_^
