Sometimes HTM gets some sand in his vagina. I'd love to see that.

...Except the game doesn't give any reason to think they survived. You know for a fact that Red survived because you see him 500 years later. What do you mean "let"? The airship WAS split in two and they did fall out of the sky. How did they survive? Are you trying to say Kefka ran and caught them and then put them in different places around the world? Where did it say that? Bugenhagen: Holy... the ultimate White Magic. Magic that might stand against Meteor. Perhaps our last hope to save the planet from Meteor. If a soul seeking Holy reaches the planet, it will appear. Ho Ho Hoooo. Meteor, Weapon, everything will disappear. Perhaps, even ourselves. Cloud: Even us!? Bugenhagen: It is up to the planet to decide. What is best for the planet. What is bad for the planet. All that is bad will disappear. That is all. Ho Ho Hoooo. I wonder which we humans are? Cloud: Search for Holy... How do we do it? Sounds to me like he's just talking about people. Everything living isn't a threat to the planet, just humans. Only all that is bad will disappear, not everything on Earth. The writers were saying that Earth couldn't survive without the human race. Holy was supposed to save the planet. To do that, it had to get rid of people. Which is why you don't see any in the ending. More evidence that Holy took out more than just Midgar is when Red said "Holy is having the opposite effect. Forget Midgar, we've gotta worry about the planet" Why would he say that if Holy was only taking out Midgar? It didn't. Because before they wanted you to think no people survived and now they're coming back and saying they did. "HAHA FOOLED YOU"

Look at FF6. The airship split in part and they fell out of the sky and EVERYONE still somehow survived. I don't know how he lived, but he must have. He actually just said that it could get rid of humans, not just humans causing it harm. The game seemed to be saying that as we advance, we become a danger to the world. Then where are the people? And we've bitched about it plenty of times here as Square re-writing history. Yes, it was sort of open ended, as in they didn't tell you straight out what happened, but like I said before, I think it was clear they wanted you to take it a certain way.

it wouldn't really be set in stone because if they couldn't make it back, then the future would have changed and they wouldn't exist in it. It's already written out but they can change it.. How's about this one though? Since they did change the future and his son doesn't go to jail, why would they still have to go to the future in the first place if he NEVER went to jail? And if they didn't go, would the future still be the same? Or would it change back? Same thing with Potter. Sirious got away, so why would Dumbledor tell them he was going to be executed, and if he didn't, why would they go back in time.

I think it's obvious that everyone died just from what Bugenhagen said. Holy would wipe out everything bad for the planet and he stopped to wonder if it would decide whether humans were good or bad for it. Then you have the ending 500 years later with no people. Just animals looking at the remains of Midgar.

Well the only way they wouldn't exist would be if something prevented them from going back. But they did go back. So that's why they would still be there 30 years later.

Why wouldn't they exist in the future?

I love the rating he gave it. Not ratable. It was so bad that he couldn't rate it. Here's some more. Subject: Re: Look everyone, FF7 sucks, there's no two ways about it! Date: 10/26/98 3:53 PM Central Standard Time From: Ashtar X Message-id: <[email protected]> >Ash, for example, gave it a "not ratable," which I take as meaning a score >worse than a zero. In a way. The gameplay was pretty bad, but the FMV kept the graphics from being in a hole. The music was okay. These would be a pretty low rating-around 20%. Then we get to the plot. The plot has an extremely environmentalist message. It's also generally anti-society and features characters who I wouldn't hesitate to call evil. When you get right down to it, they are not going after Sephiroth because there's a threat to the world. It's proven that the world can take it (the power of the world itself is part of that environmentalist bias I despise). They are going after him for revenge, pure and simple. AVALANCHE kills thousands of people when they blow up the reactors. Shinra also kills a lot of people, but that doesn't take away the fact that AVALANCHE is a bunch of terrorists who deserve to be executed. Cloud, the "hero" of the game, is a weak puppet. He has no sense of morals. He pursues Sephiroth for vengeance. He takes advantage of Tifa. I did not sympathize with him, and I did not feel good when he won. FF7's plot is not bad. It is an atrocity. It so disgusts me that it prevents the game from having a rating. And a comment on outrageously high scores for FF7. On a more objective level, the polygonal characters, the soundtrack that is sub-par with the other FF games, the Materia system, and the general ease of the game should keep it as a below-average game at best, and give it a maximum rating of about 50% or 5 on a ten scale. Subject: Re: Why does Squaresoft always end up botching the end of it's games? Date: 11/9/98 3:29 PM Central Standard Time From: Ashtar X Message-id: <[email protected]> If you're playing FF7, this is a spoiler. It won't matter much. >I highly doubt that's what happened. Notice the dialogue in the game. Red >XIII says "Holy is having the opposite effect. Forget Midgar. We've got to >worry about the planet." OPPOSITE is the key word here. Holy isn't failing to >work. On the contrary, it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do - it's >destroying evil and leaving only good. In this case, Midgar and humankind are >the evil, so Holy helps destroy them, instead of saving them like it was >expected to do. That is why I like FF7's ending so much: it was deeper than >any ending with complete closure could possibly be, and conveyed a powerful >message to those players who picked up on it. This is why I hate the game. No, really. Midgar and humankind being the evil is a sort of message that I think is just plain WRONG. If you like, I hate FF7 on a philosophical level as well as hating it on a general level. Without the enviro-terrorist message, the game was bad enough. FF7 is basically saying that the ecology of this planet is more important than the people on it. Also, it pulled the biggest cop-out by having the Promised Land be the Lifestream. Which brings me to yet another one of the problems with this game. FF7's Cetra are portrayed as a people who move from world to world. The problem came along when some people tried to stay in one place. Aside from being a jumble in general about what the Cetra were and who was a Cetra, they kinda reminded me of the aliens from Independence Day--use up a planet, move on. There are all sorts of problems in this game. Much of it stems from characters who are, quite blatantly, hypocrites. For instance, Rufus Shinra gives his big speech about ruling with fear, then what does he do? He has a big PARADE. ON TV, for cryin' out loud! WITH RATINGS! Is fear soon on his agenda? Nope! Or perhaps the great tragedy of the pillage of energy for Materia. Oh, I'm sorry, the "heroes" (read:villains the designers wanted you to sympathize with) use it with reckless abandon. And they really seem to be involved in a sick oneupsmanship with Shinra. Shinra burns Nibelheim and Corel, AVALANCHE blows up a big chunk of Midgar, Shinra drops a big chunk of Midgar, Cloud lets a meteor get aimed at Midgar. After Rufus was gone, the Shinra "evil" was basically over. If Holy really wanted to do its job, it should've just ripped the Highwind to shreds. (Notice, the WEAPONS do seem to notice the "heroes" as a threat to the world.) Deep ending? Yeah. Disturbing message? Yeah. Bad game? Oh, yeah.

What the hell do you mean "a knock-out in years to come"? She was already a knock-out in the first movie.

Simpsons Married with Children Saved by the Bell 24

If every post made fun of that sentence, it still wouldn't be enough. It's like you really honestly think most people voted for movies they thought were worse in the last tournament. I didn't like the results either but just think about that for a minute. SP isn't in my top 3-5. But it's definitely better than Rocky 2.

Here's a much better breakdown of FF7. From years ago on another board. ----- Subject: FF7 Review From: Ashtar X Date: 04 October 1998 17:35:47 EDT Review: Final Fantasy VII PlayStation SquareSoft, 1997. Rating: NOT RATABLE Storyline Final Fantasy VII starts off with a somewhat promising lead: it's using the cyberpunk cliche of rebels vs. evil empire. After the first six hours or so, though, it's clear that the plot of the game will be a chase after the super-powerful villain who you couldn't dream of beating yet. It continues with very few twists, and has a very bland presentation. The fun part is that forces unleashed by others solve most of the game's major problems. Evil corporation's leader? Killed by the villain. Leader's son? Killed by a poor man's Voltron let out by the villain. Giant meteor? Stopped by the "life stream", a force inside the planet itself. Lovely. The characters are trite (a neurotic, his co-dependent, an innocent girl in distress, an Ebonics talking black guy with a gun arm, an engineer with an attitude that's all an act, some sort of talking dog, a guy with a strange clawarm, and a kleptomaniac), the dialogue is boring. No redeeming factors. Rating: 1/0. Gameplay There's a Barenaked Ladies song about the way this game's played. It's called "It's All Been Done." The ATB is no improvement over FFV or FFVI. The special abilities and spells are the same, and this time they're provided by rocks that advance independently of the characters, and can be switched at any time. Slight weapons diversity, but armor seems to do little. There's notably only one armor slot. No helmets or gauntlets. The Limit break system is almost approaching innovation, but the idea was much more balanced in Final Fantasy VI when at least they only got the special attacks by being low on hit points. As it was, they were "breaks" from the monotony of combat. The 3-person party in Squaresoft is really getting boring, and this game has the worst excuse. "It's too dangerous to travel in groups greater than three." That's down there with saying something like "I locked my keys in my Yugo. I'd break the window to get them, but it's bad enough that the windshield is broken." The random battles are repetetive, but that's to be expected. The game as a whole is somewhat too easy, even without manipulating the system. There are some pointless, annoying button-pushing contests. The mini-games aren't as painful, but that's all I can say for them. Rating: 2. Graphics Ow, my brain! There are six things to the graphics in the game. The first is full-motion video, which is decent-looking at its best. The second is battle graphics, which are fairly bland. The third is town backdrops, which are almost decent at times. The fourth is dungeon backdrops, which are so badly done that you can't see your character at many points in the game. The fifth is the world map, which suffers horribly from pop-up. And the sixth...the characters. Oh, wretched horror! These are the worst character graphics ever. Huge eyes, bad hair, short, with thin arms and legs that end in GIANT BRICK-LIKE THINGS! Argh. Rating: Far beyond wretchedness. Other stuff The other stuff...the sound was so-so, except for One-Winged Angel, which was decent, Aeris's theme (a poor man's Celes theme), and the battle end music, which pissed me off. After the traditional battle fanfare, it kicks into some crappy piece as opposed to the FF battle victory song. Damn them. Anyway, the cover art was pretty cool. Which is a waste. Ah well. Overall I payed too much for this game, and wasted too much time playing it, and far too much time arguing about it. It's just a piece of crap with Squaresoft on it so it would sell. Rating: This game is NOT RATABLE. ---- Thoughts?

Damn, I was just about to vote for the movies I thought were worse. Good thing you said something.

Kill Bill

I thought it was great, but I figured it would be a waste of time nominating it since it wouldn't get out the first round. I haven't seen Citizen Kane, but movies are about more than just acting and directing, just like wrestling is about more than moves. A movie could have some of the most realistic acting and the best directing and cimematography ever seen but if it turns out to be boring, then it ISN'T good. Period. Also you can't really objectively cross genres at all. No one can say that their favorite drama is objectively better than your favorite comedy. Well they can but they'll look stupid doing it. There's not much difference between favorite and good because no movie is ever objectively good. It's all subjective.

Hey, I'm playing WW right now looking for the triforce pieces too. Just can't find that last piece. I think this is about close to the end though. The only thing left is the last dungeon. But IMO this is the game Zelda: OoT should've been. Zelda was never about huge barren amounts of space in the middle of the map that takes 20 minutes to cross. It was always about secrets everwhere. Like WW. Every single place you look in has something in it. And the world is so much bigger than Ocarina's. FF7 vs Zelda: OoT is a great battle. The fight of the two most overrated games ever made.

You should do like Choken One and just quit, don't have a finals, and don't mention the tournament again.

Who gives a shit though? We should let them live because it's cheaper? Getting rid of murderers and making sure they won't have a chance to kill again is money well spent if you ask me. The world is simply a better place without some people in it. Such as that guy that beheaded those kids. How could you even argue that people like that don't deserve to die a horrible (and painful) death?
