Star Ocean 3

Mystery Science Theater 3000 has some episodes where the movie is too bad to be enjoyed, but more often than not it's one of the funniest things ever. It's impossible not to have this in the top 5. Mr. Show is sickeningly overrated, most sketch comedies are more miss than hit, but this one is mind boggling. Kids in the Hall is better, and a few early Python stuff, as well. Most of the popular comedies like Friends and Seinfeld are even worse, I don't get how people can still laugh at that typical sitcom crap. A few traditional sitcoms like I Love Lucy and Three's Company are good shows, though. There are shows like The Tick, Andy Richter, The Critic, and more which could have been up for contention had they lasted longer. Family Guy was only 3 seasons but I think it can still be one of the funniest ever. And of course Simpsons is there.

If the suing themselves part is about the Simpsons thing... that was a fake story Groening made up.

Rocket Knight Adventures

Dumb.

A piddly crap little item like ABC gum can work just as well for bribery as a legendary Cosmic Blade. It's all random whether they'll want it or not, so you might want to bribe with inexpensive items.

Jefferey Tambor needs to say "Hey now!"

I hate it when something is released on DVD, then months later it's rendered obsolete by a "special" edition or whatever. It's just as bad when DVDs are released seperately, than later released as one package, for less money. Right?

Because I hate FFT-style RPGs. Then put aside your hatred, and join the thousands of FFTactics haters turned Disgaea lovers with a simple purchase. Or don't. Or do. Whichever. And you can get the Senators on your side by bribing them with any random item, but that takes a while...it gets easier to just kill them all.

They went on strike with those grocery and Metro workers.

Get Mario Kart, you bloody fools.

Sell the CDs back to the store every month, than reclaim them. THE PLAN WON'T FAIL!

People who waste money on so many pairs of shoes make me sad and befuzzzled. =(

I need to find that hat HHH always wore a couple years ago, what store would have it?

But Stevie obviously found it somewhere, and he's always hip.

Ralph is on KROQ's morning show in LA everyday, and they interviewed Matt this morning. I missed it though, I only caught Kevin and Bean talking about how nice Matt is.

Time for the monthly Final Fantasy argument thread. You people make me sick. *plays Valkyrie Profile* *purifies weird soul*

Baja Fresh has good stuff. Where do you live that the only taco place you have is Taco Bell?

A live show like this isn't the best idea since it caters to the east coast so much, not that that's surprising with ESPN. But Kit is wild and unpredictable!

I know this is in someone's sig, this is an even bigger emergency, I must have this hat Richards has! Where the heck can I find it? Nobody seems to sell anything like it...

Disgaea = RPG of the Year

As soon as this thread dies, people will still be asking if The Critic will ever come to DVD.

The Critic is out on DVD in February.

A celebrity making a special appearance at Wrestlemania? How about Rock?

I don't think current ideas are so bad that movie studios have to look to the past so much to create movies.

Post what you think are epic games, and please explain why in 300 words or less. Grandia - It's the first game to comes to mind when I have nothing better to do and think of epic games. So it started off as some silly adventure, and turned into saving the world. But this game didn't need to be about saving the world to be epic. The evil empire wasn't really necessary, either. The vastness of the world...that huge wall, all the various tribes, and the fact that the "civilized human" part of the world was only two cities made this seems like a...historic game? People didn't have contact with each other outside their own area for the most part, there was a nice feeling of discovery, at least for Justin. It needs a direct sequel to see how the world has evolved since then. Arc the Lad 2 - Including the first game with this makes it better, especially since they were supposed to be one game anyway. At times it seemed like this game would never end, a new continent would always pop up somewhere. I do think there was one town too many, but besides that, the longevity only made the game better. The party is seperate most of the time, too. It's always nice to see how the two sides meet, and finally join forces. If Arc 4 was longer, and not so freakin easy, it could have been the same way. Dragon Warrior 7 - People complain about this series, but those Japanese weirdos can back me up here. I haven't seen a single job system in a game that wasn't good, DW7 included, of course. But the jobs aren't what made this epic. Visiting every conceivable spot on the map, and seeing how they evolve through the past and present, and the fact that the game is so long makes it unforgettable. It's too bad the music was in that low quality MIDI or whatever and not orchestrated like it is on the album, otherwise more people would know how good Koichi Suigiyama can be. Lunar SSSC - I cannot think of anything negative to say about this one. The sequel couldn't cut it, but that doesn't make the original any worse. The songs and characters really helped make the game great. The entire atmosphere is absolutely perfect. Running all around the world with everybody...it's too bad Eternal Blue fell short of recapturing the magic that made this one special. Working Designs still did a great job with the packaging, of course. Lucia's pendant rules. Skies of Arcadia - This is very similar to Grandia. So maybe all the cities were stereotypical..there's the iceworld, the desert, the evil empire, the primitive jungle, the hi tech place, and Asialand. The feeling is still there. The army always found a way to follow you, even to places that were "unreachable," just like in Grandia, but the rest of the world itself was so unique and original it makes up for it. The music is awesome, too. Xenogears - Actually one of the first RPGs I played, and it completely and utterly engulffed me. Every second of it I loved, (especially the sewers and the finger snapping music) even if I didn't really get it the first time through. It has the best soundtrack-game combination ever. I would have liked disk 2 to be more elaborate, if it was this probably would have been over 100 hours without any sidequests. But still, Xenogears rocks. I just hope there won't be any more games like Xenosaga, which wasn't awful, but still dissapointing, tarnishing the good name.
