That will explain why we have an immortal Scottish-American man leading a team of Welsh ****** bags who aren't Welsh and an old woman who has drowned herself in make up to go on adventures with a band of children that live next door.

YOU CAN SEE IT'S HAIR GROWING. And why are there ninjas sneaking up behind it?

Hurdur indeed.

Yes. Go ahead and plug a CD into... a plug socket? Yeah, a plug socket. You know, the small three (or two) holed plastic box on your wall. That's both rape of logic and rape of the CD.

Also, CD-Disc means Compact Disc Disc.

lol .

*Spits water out*

Boss battles aren't meant to be easy anyway. And in Final Fantasy, if something is hard it's usually cause you haven't prepared against everything for them. FFIX was notorious for that with half the enemies and their Venom spells. Chaos was like that to a degree but only got hard cause you had to fight him over and over. IMO.

Piranhatrons on motorcycles.

On the path outside of Murex, Nox walked on foot carrying his Veritas Magus on his back as it was of a large size. He considered this part of his 'eternal training' so that he would never loose his touch with the powers granted to him, as well as to be able to wield it effectively as a sword and a force of magic. The snow added to his 'training' as it would impede his speed and increase his walking weight granting him more strength gradually in his lower body, but soon he would need to add to his upper body training to maintain his system. You could say he was obsessed with the power he wielded, but he was more obsessed with the duty and honour that came with it. He idolised the former wielder so much so that he wanted to make sure he would not tarnish the honour of those before him by foolishly letting his become none.
In any case, he continued forwards through the high up snowy path.

The following content contains jokes of a ******ed nature and can easily be attributed to the fact I'm tired as ****, ignore if used for future studies or in general *shot*

How do you see video games? Do you play simply for entertainment? - Entertainment (*cough*andpossiblecareer*cough*). It's basically a narrative like a book, movie, or some other media but you can interact with it so it's like a combo meal of entertainment (FOR ONLY $499982!!).
Do you think video games can be considered art? And I'm not talking just high-def CG. - Well yeah, they are a combination of a bunch of media as I previously stated. The only side I don't consider to be art would be the programming side, which is mostly where the argument of why some think it isn't art comes from. That and cause the late 40 year old executives are laying bricks in their pants that better qualified people are coming to replace them and thus slag off their own industry to attempt to steer people away from taking their jobs.
When you pick up a game, how often do you find yourself completely wrapped up in it? - Well I don't thinking picking up a game is possible to cause such involvement, but perhaps playing it- *shot*. On a more answering note, I tend to find myself either attracted to the situations of the game, such as how me and my friend who are replaying RE5 are increasingly consumed by the action and the need to survive while we couldn't give a rats ass about the plot. But other games tend to have a deeper plot which can wrap me up more than the feeling the gameplay gives.
Have you ever played a game that has been considered to have terrible graphics (for the time it's from) but wanted to see the story, or vice versa (bad story/gameplay, good graphics)? - Yep. I tend to play a lot of old games from old generations still, as I hear a lot of others still do, but even on the current generation I find games with graphics that some consider outdated (such as Disgaea) to be more fun than these "oh so realistic FPS" knock offs of each other that tend to focus more on graphics than their gameplay (considering how they rarely ever differ imo).
Why do you think gaming has become such a huge part of our everyday lives? - Because it's fun, it's another way of telling a story as opposed to TV or books or an old man infront of a fire place and in the recent years it has become interactive and adjustable to individual tastes of people from casual to experienced.
What is your opinion on the "video games make our kids violent" argument? - Utter bull. As my dad once said to me, "people aren't influenced by what they see on TV or in books, but it adds to something that they have already considered". A good story lets the reader/viewer/etc feel like they are in control and view the world from the characters points of view, but sometimes it can also make the person playing/etc feel as if they are the character but I believe that there must be something present before hand for someone to become violent from playing a game, or even watching TV or reading a book and being influenced by the events of the game. It's a bad combination of a ticking time bomb of insanity people have and a slight nudge from an accidental source. It's happened with movies and books, so of course it happens with games but it isn't the games fault. IMO.
Given that there is somewhat of a recession going on around the world, do you think the gaming industry will suffer from it? - I have no idea, I've asked about this a few times to a bunch of my teachers, some of which are games designers themselves, but none have really mentioned any problems. I imagine it'll have an effect on budget and a good number of jobs from lessening the work staff for a team.
Overall, how do you think video games have progressed? Do you think that fewer very good games are being made in order to produce games that barely sell but are from big toy companies? Like Barbie games for example. - Sometimes games are intended to be an add on for a movie or another industry, fair enough, but not all of them are good and most have become notorious for being terrible rushed games. Every now and again a few good ones will appear, like the first Harry Potter game. But the games companies have progressed greatly and there are quite a lot of them so it's not safe to say that all games are getting better but some are improving in areas, but I still think they tend to focus too much on graphics and they forget the balance of gameplay and plot being added into the mix sometimes.
For you, what makes a video game good? - Good plot, likeable characters, attention grabbing and impressive gameplay, continuity and how well the music, visuals, etc all compliment each other in a balance.
Has there ever been a game you've played that actually changed how you look at life, or at least made you think about things? - Sort of, it's not changed me completely into another direction but a number of games have made me think a few things over. I'll have to get back to you on this one though, it's a pretty hard question to answer off the bat.

And for fun, what is the stupidest - yet somehow entertaining - game you've played or watched someone play? - Hogs of War. Probably one of my most favourite games of all time and yet so stupid yet incredibly fun. Also, kinda racist, but in a harmless way where it's not so offensive since it insults everyone.

I'll probably add to this later.

iTunes = Apple Product. Programs are products too. Silly 12 year old.

This joke is rather fitting, but very few will actually get it )=

Oh look, I get to use this again.



But imagine it with food.

With whatever he thought he would need, along with his Veritas Magus, Nox finally decided to leave Murex. Having never left the boundaries of his home it would be a strange and new journey for him but with the information in the elder's library that he had read he was certain he would not be troubled. Being entrusted with Petra was very important to Nox and he left with the ideals of using this power for the good of others.

OOC: worst starting post in the history of start posts that are in eligible English. Also, very, very late.

I know right. I still can't get over how Freiza destroyed 5 minutes in 5 weeks with Namek- wait, FFFFFFF-

And then at nights you're FABULOUS.

And it'll be over in about 5 minutes- I mean 5 weeks.

But you're not a veteran, so no day off for you.
