Guest Sakura Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 From what I have seen, a LOT of Final Fantasy fans are girls. Probably because it like owns everything. I have got the most heat from playing fighting games. I am like way into the arcade scene.
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Actually, FF is just the most flashy and expensively produced game. It's been around since the NES so it has old-school cred with the nostalgics even though, IMHO, it's soul dried up quite a while ago. But of course, it doesn't help that Tetsuya Nomura draws all his males to look like girls, leading to enough bad "slash" fiction to classify as a Weapon of Mass Destruction by most governments.
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 NO. FF8 is where everything went downhill.
Guest Sakura Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 FF VIII is one of my favorite games of all time and Squall is like the best game character ever. Squall/Rinoa is the best.
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 I kinda didn't like playing an anti-social dweeb myself. My big complaint with FF8 lies in the Junction system, which was terrible. Guys would bind 99 Ultimas to their strength and then refuse to ever cast Ultima because their physical attack stat would go down. When people sit and whore spells and then won't use them because they affect stats, your system is flawed.
Guest EricMM Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 I will be getting a room next year with a cable hook up in each room (hopefully) that way I can keep my TV in my room and watch wrestling alone. It may be a sad fact that because I only have a TV in my living room, I've stopped watching, but I don't even want to try to explain 70% of the stuff that goes on in wrestling to my roommates. Things like... Albert being on my TV...
Yuna_Firerose Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 bad "slash" fiction to classify as a Weapon of Mass Destruction by most governments. I haven't read game slash fics in a while, so I don't know what's out there. *shrug* But not all slash is bad... But maybe that's just me. Squall, as a character, is a bit too heavily on the angst for my tastes. I much preferred Seifer. Rinoa just annoyed the fuck outta me.
Guest RedJed Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Pfft....I never care for what people think. Side note: The most annoying question for a non-fan to ask a fan is "Whose your faveorite wrestler?" Anyone else get pissed off by that question? Another one I got alot from my non-wrestling friends when I got back from Mania...... "Who won?" WTF, you don't even know who was on it in the first place and what, do you want me to tell you the results of all 10 matches? lol
Yuna_Firerose Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Yeah, the "Who Won" is another annoying one. You tell them you watch and they're like "Who won last night". It's like, if you're not a fan, then STOP FUCKIN' TALKING TO ME!!
Guest treble charged Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Damn those people for trying to make conversation.
Guest RedJed Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 It's like, if you're not a fan, then STOP FUCKIN' TALKING TO ME!! Well I wouldn't take it THAT far but it's hard to answer that question when they just ask "who won" since its awfully vague.
Yuna_Firerose Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Damn those people for trying to make conversation. Damn them when they don't know what they're talking about. "Whose your fave" and "Who won" is so vague, that you just know they're not really interested. Because, normally, after you answer the question, they just go "that's cool" or something like that and....gee...end of conversation.
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 I was actually sitting and explaining wrestling to the cab driver going to Axcess, and he didn't really ask for it, so I guess you couldn't say I find talking to other about it annoying. Course, the only friends I have who like wrestling is this message board and that's it. If someone asked me "Who won?", I'd just say "This One Guy beat That Other Guy but only because Some Dude interrupted everything." It works for any show.

You should have heard the guy driving the towncar to the airport Sunday night/Mon morning. He actually seemed to know about the guys, but my god, I couldn't understand a word he was saying. I finally figured out near the end of the drive that something sounding like "Colonel" was him saying Kurt Angle.
Guest areacode212 Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Even worse than "who won?" is when you're in the middle of watching a match, and someone walks in, asking "who's winning?" I never know how to answer that. It's not like there's a score.
Yuna_Firerose Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 And...Kane with a clothesline! 2 points right there...an extra because it looks painful!
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 FACT: As a mark, I used to mentally picture Mortal Kombat style health bars over the heads of everyone in the match.
J.B. Buzzkill Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 Even worse than "who won?" is when you're in the middle of watching a match, and someone walks in, asking "who's winning?" I never know how to answer that. It's not like there's a score. I get that from my mark brother all the time, and I don't know how to answer. "Who's winning?" "Um, uh, well, Big Show has the CHINLOCK on Funaki." Of course, you CAN answer that question if HHH is in the match.
