I'd die laughing if BanDai turned around and announced this game like today for real. Just to watch RPGamer go "ok, so we meant this as a joke, but apparently they really mean to release a game"

I'm kinda shocked this one was more believed about then the Square-Enix one. There is a .hack//Another Birth as I understand it, however it is currently just a stand alone manga that is about BlackRose (I don't honestly know much more than that). So its not fully a lie. Just only on the format in which it is received.

Has to be set by Saturday, if I'm not mistaken, every week.

BTW Evo, can you just like make me the Bonds of the SFBL? *wink, wink; nudge, nudge* I mean, I'm quite sure I can make up the attitude of Bonds and easily write up amusing mock-interviews if you do.

Nash making sense? And a damn lot of it?! ...you know wrestling is bad when he's got his ego in check and praising Daniels and Styles.

You mean, like, they've been doing for over 10 years? Hell, even SD1 coasted off the name (subtitled: Final Fantasy Gaiden). If it means he'll give the company a kick in the ass, so be it. Considering they'll be bringing out a game called Final Fantasy: EC, might be too soon to talk. Then again, that might be what Square-Enix had in development so might as well work it. And actually Final Fantasy Adventure was only given the name because they were sure that the Mana series wouldn't take off like it had with Secret of Mana. Not saying banking on a series is a bad thing, but Sakaguchi had a point when he said he was tired of having the stupidity of it be all Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest and everything else go mediocre. Square (and for that matter Enix) used to be inventive when they started out and now stagnate on the same ol' titles. No. But Sakaguchi pulling something like this would make sense as to why he hired a whole bunch of former and "just recent" Square-Enix employees to his company. I mean what better way to do a take-over and get the finances from the former employees than to "guarentee" people the chance for a change and to keep the same company.

Ok, so Hironobu Sakuguchi took over Square-Enix and became the new CEO. Bite me. Ok, I'm a little skeptical about this myself. Considering what day it is. Problem is, I don't think Japan celebrates April fools, since this was taken from Shonen Jump's current magazine. This course of action is plausable since Sakaguchi was upset with the direction of Square-Enix continuing to bank on assured hits *coughDQcoughFFcough*, and so he might've wanted to pull this off. Also considering he was recently in talks with Mirco$oft... It wouldn't've surprised me at all. Anyways, let speculation run rampant! Hox or real deal~!? You have fun with it.

Ah, they will do that when they've milked the series for all its worth. Not a moment before.

That's a joke right? Its an RPG of an MMORPG. Hell no to this being the end. Especially considering the massive amounts of money it makes in Japan (anime series[plural], games, mangas), not likely. We could only wish though. Although, this ones apparently gonna get kinda personal between Kite and BlackRose as well, so prepare for lovey-dovey stuff.

Now do they break the game into parts, or they keeping this damn thing whole? Can BlackRose be a main character (considering I found her as a pain in the ass) or will they switch to where she's great as a main character but Kite becomes hindersome being in the party nearly all the time? Can this thing even sell on Western shores considering how much people were like "ugh" with how they chopped the series apart? Honestly, I liked the concept and story for .hack, and if they can fix many of the mistakes, I might try it out. Although this is assuming a lot. I'd like to also go on record as to say its humorous that BlackRose is the main character, but on the game's Japanese slipcover, its Kite with BlackRose faintly seen on the box. Furthermore... I need to stop posting when I haven't slept. I sound like I'm nuts or something.

First of all, you ain't seen what I'm planning on doing for my pitcher. Once James retires of course. Second, I either make James the Bond of our league, or he'll retire quicker. Since everyone's got a DH spot, I think its safe for me to be the long bomb man! Third, Quahog won the World Championship. Didn't you read? I got myself my second title.

Probably not. Means you'll be fishing for players.

Ok... That was simply much better than what I had done for being mean. I salute you HQ. *salutes*

Just cause I like reporting stuff: So yeah... just thought I'd share some news.

Ok. Since I only have one vote cause apparently you people are lazy here's your new commish: Alfdogg. Enjoy your new found job Alf.

Edward James: Power Hitting - 20 Come on, I'm trying to make a new Barry Bonds here.

What, exactly, did she ever do to you to warrant this? -=Mike Its more being tired of hearing about this story. It was a private matter that shouldn't've been dragged out for the world to see, it had been debated for 15 years prior and so likely had reached a conclusion (be it for good or bad), and there wasn't anything else to see besides everyone use it for their own agenda. They are more like: "thank God its finally over. Now maybe people can move onto real issues." Or at least so I think that's what they mean.

Hey Evo, what are my chances of retiring this end season? And what are my chances of making the HoF?

Actually to get Fridge to do stuff, you almost have to taunt him with the fact that he can't do it. So you know, he can prove you wrong. Edit: ...I think, I might be wrong. Which I've been known to be on occassion.

That smilie is the: "You've got to be fucking kidding me" smilie. That's why its like that. Geezus.

Geezus Christmas people. I only broke a controller once and that's cause I spilt like pop on it. You people have anger management issues if you get that frustrated over games.

But the different configurations might allow developers to build a gaming "controller" that would work better for their game. Might come up with some ingenius ways of getting all the milage out of a game. Same thing I thought of when I first heard the rumors that there was no controller. Be fucking outstanding it'd have to be to make me want it. Being intuitive is very easy, build each "controller" for each game so that it works absolutely fantastic for the player. Of course this won't feel nice. How many of us are so used to controllers? But you know, its like playing a PC game and using the keyboard instead of the controller. Sure its awkward as hell for the controller users, but depending on the game, it actually is easier on you. It'll probably be along those lines of how they build the "controller" for each Revolution game.

Ok. That definitely is something out there. As for the different button configurations, you have to do it with most games anyways, so how's it gonna be different just learning where on your controller each game has them? Not much.

Alright, Krankor and Alf both want the job of Commish. So you people get to vote on which person you would rather have as the new Commish of the H2H NBA league. Have at it.

I'm in Canada, so its like probably $3 bucks. Which I don't have currently, hence I'm waiting in either case to buy. Was asking if I should buy seperate comics or the TPB.
