I've figured out who Terrarch and Aqua (it's already a kind of pun on Spunk (lol seamen)) are a while ago but I still haven't figured out who Ven is.
Kinda. I just started as well as part of my course, it's only simple scripting though. I think we're only using Robot Battle to start with before we go into Java and Unreal Script and stuff. I do have to agree though, learning in class is much easier (although my classes are more like "You know where to find the help menu, hurr").
Why was there a sign post in the sand? LOST CITY OF SAND PEOPLE?
I wish >: I could butter toast with my face then.
We could revise the monster thing since that was a test of how a more contest-like thread would work in RP, it did work but it didn't last long enough for me to consider the original idea I had where the winner plays the monster of their choosing next week. Combine this with your idea for an OC contest and that'd be two community activities right there. It's a shame the roleplaying suggestion and help thread died and the remake didn't get posted in otherwise we'd have a few more things going on probably.
I doubt I'd be able to judge, if I had enough free time I'd still be doing the top 5 xD
^Bugbear Gnolls are just the same but instead of a big bearish thing, they are a more human size werewolf-like thing in armour, and in the D&D board game I had, they had axes for added awesome. It makes a difference from having orcs and goblins in the woods I suppose xD
Well he is holding a giant butter knife.
I'd say a trio of judges that don't have a hive-mind thing going on could work. Or if you can't maintain a trio then two would be cool beans too.
QUICK, LET'S GET REALLY BAD CAPTIONS OUT BEFORE THE 12 YEAR OLDS THINK "How dare you wear the same colour as me, Cloud" *shot*
Thinking about it now, I'm kinda glad they aren't using Unicron and Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, etc. We already have that movie and if he was going to make a remake of it, it would of been just one movie. It's better we have something different, but not too different (Friggin Animated). It is a shame the Dinobots are absent though. Either way, sounds like they've boosted the fan power bots and might actually give more than a handful of them dialogue. Though, still kinda annoyed that it'll most likely be another movie where we go to see the Transformers and get Shia playing the same character he's always been since the Even Steven's (that was him right?) while the army men of America somehow magically gain the technology to kill the robots. Michael Bay will do anything for explosions in a desert I guess. Also, I hope the fight scenes aren't all one-hit KOs again. I pretty much only watch these movies for the giant robots killing each other and the nostalgic awesome of the Transformers themselves.
Indeed. It would solve it quickly xD

I love how Sephiroth's head has twisted.
Do you seek monsters for listing? We could do with some Bugbears and Gnolls. I'll also probably start posting tomorrow. I've been busy.
I actually have no idea if that's allowed in the RP section. I mean, it could be something for the OOC Lounge to get people making OCs and trying to improve at it but it is a contest after all. I'll have to get back to you on that.
You'd crumble while trying to move. Then we'd BBQ you.
I've been a bit slow posting, I should be able to post a bit more often on weekends though. Just sort of have me trailing along in the plot if I'm behind for now if you feel the need to.
N64 -Perfect Dark - Probably one of the few shooters I actually like. It's repetitive at times but the levels, the difficulty (being a challenge but not impossible on some levels), the plot, the characters and some of the weapons are great. The whole theme of James Bond meets Independence Day feel is surprisingly welcoming and not forced like most shooter themes are these days and it constantly jumps from spy-fiction missions to sci-fi. Also, has Elvis' alien race are probably the most badass non-badass looking aliens of all time. -007: Goldeneye - Pretty much the same as Perfect Dark. Being the first shooter I ever played it set a standard and not many have surpassed it. The game is extremely memorable, the game is actually fun while still somewhat following the plot of the movie it was based on, yet scaling that up to a higher level. -Mario 64 - This game is very annoying but so god damn addicting. It's got some great themes and ideas, with the whole paintings being worlds and stuff. It was very entertaining and managed to be different from the gameboy games I played while remaining to be virtually the same, only in 3D. Gameboy Colour -Pokemon Red/Blue - Obviously one of the big obvious ones, back then it was a new thing and pretty awesome. The whole concept was dark and still managed to be child friendly, mostly thanks to the cartoon though. -Pokemon TCG - I never knew how addicting card games could be on consoles until this game. It was just mad how addictive it was and how it actually plays like the real card game. -Rayman (I forget which number I had) - Very tricky level designs, awesome powers and no limbs to connect his floating body parts. Every child's first trip. DS -KH Days - Good fun, hard for a KH though. It made magic useful again and had an interesting equipment and skills set up but the multiplayer having to be close range was lame and the plot wasn't great (it is KH after all >>) but was very entertaining. I do like the lots of characters to play as in multiplayer though, since you could do it solo. -Pokemon SoulSilver/HeartGold - Lots of nostalgia and lots of great new features to go with the old ones. I don't need to explain everything else since it's sort of the same as what I said about red/blue. -FFIII - Considering this is the only other game I have on DS except another Pokemon one, I do like it. The battle system was old school and good but the classes and skills stuff confused me at first and I keep getting lost. But it is lots of fun. PlayStation -FFIX - Good gameplay (I like turn based games), good plot and characters which could be intereperated by how differently people read the dialogue (Vivi is badass and not a little girl voiced boy who hangs out with a shrunken version of Squall's nemesis) and it was a mind opening game for me when I first got a hold of it. I totally didn't know any of this roleplaying or turn based stuff existed. Granted, I was a child at the time who had spent most of my time playing Spyro. -Spyro 3 - Yes. A dragon. Instant sale. Who has to fight random monsters in a brightly coloured world with the same old platforming stuff except he can fly and breathe fire and other stuff. THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD. That and Crash Bandicoot. -Hogs of War - People always give me a blank stare when I mention this game. It is probably my favourite PS1 game ever. Hogs dressed a soldiers from around the world in the view of a Rik Mayall style stereotypes and they had hilarious names, dialogues and weapons. It was basically, super-British Worms with pigs in costumes but was 3D and had more strategy than "AIM AND FIRE A SHEEP" which always worked in Worms. PlayStation 2 -Shadow Hearts Covenant - Like I said with FFIX, I like these types of games and the whole theme of it was great for someone like me. It was set in the world war but you never really got involved with it, it had multiple aspects of other countries in a more funny view and the humour somewhat fit in well with the gothic and dark tones of the plot. But I am now petrified of Indian Wrestlers. Also, the Judgement Ring system was a great improvement on the already fun turn based system that I was used to from FF games. Also, turning into demons was cool. -Onimusha 2 - I liked Onimusha 3 just as much but Onimusha takes the cake thanks to multiple plot routes that are effected by interaction with other characters plus the optional characters being playable through these routes and the vast improvement on gameplay over Onimusha Warlords. It was just a great and fun game in a good series. -Devil May Cry 3 - Instant super boost over the gameplay of it's previous releases, a great cast of characters and good voice acting (lol Power Rangers are everywhere in DMC) and it was difficult, it was actually challenging in and out of combat. PlayStation 3 -Demon's Souls - Strange gameplay controls yet very understandable and once you get used to them they are pretty interesting and good. A nice concept on plot and an interesting online multiplayer with the whole invading other games, aiding other games and randomly seeing a peek at other games going on through phantoms. It's only as difficult as you let it be though. The only problem I've had is no pausing, even when offline. -Dragon Age: Origins - A great game that uses western fantasy well and hints about real life things, such as religion, in hilarious ways yet also being serious. The voice acting was great and the gameplay was somewhat fun, but I think it was the characters that really made the game and the interactions between them and the player. -MGS4/MGO - The game was really fun and had lots of features and so much replayability but had far too long cutscenes. The game hadn't really changed much, they just altered some of the features and added a few sub features. MGO on the other hand is one of my favourite online games, if I wasn't a tight ass with money I'd probably still be playing it with all the expansions. Lots of fun for fans of the past games. PSP -Birth By Sleep - lololol. But seriously, the gameplay was a vast improvement over KHII IMO. The plot is still a bit iffy and some of the voice acting is as bad as usual but it is a really fun game with lots of fun mini-games, even if they are annoying at first. -Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker - at first I didn't like it over Portable Ops but after it finally got going (I didn't realise that they where still not finished giving me things after I got all the soldier job things) it really became fun and kinda tactical when you aren't even in the regular missions. Like that sending soldiers off to do battles while you're on a mission. Good fun. -Marvel Ultimate Alliance - sure the game could of been better, but hell, it was crap loads of fun and a great game for Marvel in-universe crossover fans. I liked the gameplay, I liked the characters you got to choose from, I kinda liked the plot and the dialogue was great, I liked how there was a thing where if you had certain characters with you when you encountered enemies they'd have different dialogue. Either way, it could of been improved and had more characters but I've still not played the second so I have no idea if they have.
Correction, everything is better in England. Except The Office and Channel 4's home grown shows.
