Viral Speak 06-06-2000
Peace! Oh, for that guy who asked. Power Quest, Killer Instinct, King of the Fighter's 1995, World Heroes 2 Jet, and Raging Fighters are some great fighting games for the Game Boy. Which actually has more fighters than the NGPC has games; but only a few of the fighting games are cool. The NGPC for fightng games? Don't make me laugh. Most of their fighting games have fighting engines that are weak as Hell; so they have to throw in cheap "olympic" mode deals or "cards" to make the games decent. Especially if Match of the Millenium is supposed to be their pinnacle of design. I'm sorry. King of the Fighters 1995 moved faster and it's a normal Game Boy game. Power Quest may lack in characters; but it's not a flash fighter and it's one player/two player modes are tight and it's engine is solid tactical. Street Fighter Alpha is also not a flashy fighter; but it has some thing the NGPC's fighters don't have. Ambition. Well, besides scrolling backgrounds and more frames of animation. I liked Killer Instinct GB; because I'm a cheap combo freak sometimes and it's a two player game. (Manual combos forever!) Raging Fighters is cool. World Heroes 2 Jet may share the exact same plot line as every fighter on the NGPC; but it was first and actually seemed original at the time. It also has some cool moves. And guess what. All of these games are NOT useing the same fighting engine. You play ONE NGPC fighter.. and you've played them all. And why does SNK think I would be willing to pay $40 for the same NGPC fighting game.. when I can nab four or five old GOOD Game Boy titles for that money? Yes, I'm dissing the NGPC. Live with it. It's over-hyped on the internet. Kinda like how print mags tend to over hype Sony's new Dreamcast/DVD Player. That's all the PS2 is. It's a Dreamcast with jagged edges, rehashed games, and DVDs. Metal Gear Solid 2 isn't even PS2 exclusive. Emotion chip supercomputer? Right. I wonder who they paid at customs to get worried about that. I'm convinced after E3 that SNK wants to go nowhere. At least Bandai was smart enough not to show the Wonder Swan at E3.. i would take the mickey out on that blurry little number. E3 also convinced me that Sony doesn't know what they are doing. They have an excellent marketing devision; and lot of stars on contract to promote their games. But they know jack about system design, consumer relations, game design, and innovation. Ooo. Crash Bash. Who the hell cares? And who's bright idea was it to make a Tellytubbies game.. and then stick across the walkway from where Nintendo is showing Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. When I played the E3 demo, I kept a close watch on that empty game stand. I was hoping someone would actually play it so I could go and deride them without mercy.

Two quick questions about Metal Gear: Ghost Babel.  What do you get if you finish all of the alternate goals for the Stage Select Special???  Also, do you think you or somebody could transcribe all of the story in the game?  It would take a long time, but it could be a joint project.  This would include all of the extra info from Stage Select Special that sheds new light on the game story. - Boco316
Philip: I have no idea. I haven't even cleared them all.
I'm going to jump!! I swear!! Move Foy right back into the grey section!! I'll jump!!!!!!!!!!! - Tamas
Philip: Okay. Now get off the table.
In MGS does the banana have any use? - Beefy_B
Philip: It's for the Metal Gear Monkey? You can't equip it..
This is my final plea to be noticed.

(Meowthar enters on stage, wearing boxers, and a pair of dark brown kakis down below her knees)

o/ OH o/

*AHEM*

o/ Theeeee ol' gray mare she ain't what she used to be, ain't what she used to be, ain't what she used to be.  Theeeol' gray mare she ain't what she used to be, many long years agooooOOOOOHHHH~! o/

Thank you, thank you.

(to herself) That was SO degrading - Meowthar

Philip: Woah.
Hey Philip, Magicarp isn't edible!  You would have a better time trying to eat a recently exhumed, 50 year old skeleton of some obscure musician whom nobody knows.  Just thought I'd letcha know. - Darrell of the South Bronx Procrastinators.
Philip: Oops.
Renegade Master's awesome.

EBS is good when you live in the middle of a tornado alley.

Okay, about the Songboy...FALSE ADVERTISING.

I have a Rio 300 (love the thing, and love Diamond...they replaced my player w/out hassle when it broke), and this comparison page is WRONG.  

The Rio 300 comes with 32 meg RAM built-in.  I'm not sure, but I think it can be expanded beyond 64 meg, too.  It costs $149.99 at Best Buy, but comes with a $50 mail-in rebate.  

Yeah, for $80.00 and 32 meg RAM, that's a good deal.  But think...I use my Rio for when I go running or out moving around.  A cassette-sized Rio fits into the pocket MUCH easier than a GB or NGPC...

Just makin' a case for my personal favorite...

Oh, oh, yeah...I went to college orientation couple'a days ago...gave us warning pamphlets against cults...so me and my roommates decided we'd beat the rush and form our own cult...

Anybody interested in joining the Hands of David???  We will be your best friends..............really................ - caffeine_junkei

Philip: Naw. If it was the "Hands of Kelly" sure. You're right about the Rio; but.. I'm still gonna buy a Song Boy.. because it's for Game Boy.
I caught all of the pokemon on my Pokemon Yellow game. Do I get a cookie? - Globe Flower
Philip: But, only because you aren't Beefy_B. ;)
Okay, get this. I'm walking down a street and I see this guy from school. I says to him, lets do lunch, How's your Monday? He says 'My Mondays full'. So I says How about Tuesday? That's bad for him too, so I says 'Wednesday?' and he says 'That's a good day for me'. True story. - me
Philip: Thanks to the Naprosyn.. I'm actually intrigued.
Dang, I tried to send in some text  for your viral speak about having Custer's Revenge in two versions, h0mo (I NEED to do this) and hetero. and also two gameboy games, Mini-Golf and Str1p poker. - JayGee1
Philip: So.. there's more Game Boy Porno games than Gun Dealer. That's.. sad...
Hey, does that mean i'm one of the first 75 people to make a pic for this site???  Oh rapture, my first real achievement...well, besides spelling "upon" wrong.  Oh damn my dyslexia! - Tazzz21
Philip: I like Naprosyn.. no.. I don't.
I'm taking the driving part of drivers ed. I hate it. I can't wait till i can drive 5 mph OVER the speed limit (gasp!) cause my mom won't mind, but the instructor blows up. yech.

Anyway, I feel like getting Survival kids or Wario land 3. Which one would you pick???

Sincerely, - CodeBlue

Philip: Survival Kids. :)
do you know how to beat valcano base in Wario Land 3 - phackman5
Philip: Which treasure? Have you tried www.warioland3.com?
Okay, something must have gone wrong here. Yes, I know I am a pest, but still...it has to work! What I'm speaking of? Oh, sorry, I'm still babbling about that "secret" codec-frequency in MGS GBC: 140.07. I got it from the end credits, so you can easily check for yourself that I'm speaking the truth and not making this up. Perhaps it's another frequency in the american version, what do I know... However, on my (european) Version there is this cool "Communicator Entertainment Program". Check it out! Start it on Mission 1 first... <g> - lafazar
Philip: Hmm. Yak had the European version and we tried it. I'm thinking you need to unlock it. What level did you beat the game at? (Difficulty) And what was your rank?
Hmm. Well I have the entire episode #038 Japanese, Electric Soldier Porygon! Well actually as soon as PocketTV puts up their damn servers. I'm going to have to find the Team Rocket song in several languages.. Ooooh! There's a Jap Ending 8 now! Too bad there's no video clip yet. At least I know the site is alive! - sponge
Philip: Like that...
i hope 10 bucks is enough for a plug in thing........ also i think u shouldn't release the snowflake until everything is done in it i mean why no dmg diva waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. ummm ok ummm o phil i'm starting a fan fiction thing it's sort of like team redline except star wars is in it too and it has a lot of the new pokemon. i'm calling it code green the files. or sumthin like that. also the character is gonna have a foy. Mwahahahhahahahahahahhahhahaha. ummm ok bye - pokemaster
Philip: Yeah.. whatever! Oh.. DMG Diva.. he he he.
Animaster animaster. He is our master, we bow before him cause 
he is cool. 

I just couldn't help myself. - Robb

Philip: Okay.. Rob.
I tried WL2 an didn't care for it that much, (I'd much rather have another mario platformer) Should I buy WL3? - fonebone
Philip: No. It's basically Wario Land 2 with new levels. It's a great game. Top of it's class; but it is rather similar to Wario Land 2.
Oh Phil!  I just remembered...please post both these if at all possible.

There is a bizzare candy sold at the nearby sweets shop.  Called "The Crave"(Candy's name, not store's.  Store's is "The Sweet Life").  I don't know if any of you have had this, but get some.  Like Pixie Stix on somethin' they shouldn't be. - Sebulba113

Philip: The Crave is pretty old. I had some of those the year before. They come in those little vial and look like Rave Drugs. Well, powder based rave drugs. Like that variant of.. never mind...
Wow. VS has gone to heck in a handbasket while I was gone. I'm in the Grand Canyon Hostel in Flagstaff on my Youth Group pilgrimage.  I must say...When I'm back full time...people will pay. - Sebulba113
Philip: See ya at the Metapod Races!
Daa where the emu's? - Roach
Philip: I think New Zealand. The flightless bird right?
I was wondering how much you are selling your viruses for? I need to get my nephew something for his birthday, and the kid loves disease and sickness so I though, what the hey! - Marv
Philip: Viruses are FREE! Take as many as you want.
Woah! I just figured out what DMGICE means! 

D)emon M)onster G)oblin I)dioms C)arni E)vil

See? All things of great horror! Especially the idioms part! Idioms! Don't you just quake with fear from the though of it? - Jojo Peterson

Philip: Cute. Very cute. Now you die.
Hello. My name is Jon Busin Ness director of "stuffs" from Nintendo of America and I am here to ask you to stop sending us harassing letters and emails about the Pokemon Ledyba and wether his name is fitting. Ledyba is not a FOY and we never plan to make it that.  WE'RE FRIGGEN NINTENDO OF FRIGGEN AMERICA FOR FRIGGEN SAKES!!!WERE ALL ABOUT 
WITTY WORD PLAY!!! DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK A TWO YEAR OLD IS GONNA WANNA PLAY WITH A FOY?!? I can just see it now: "Billy! Go out and play with your Foy!" or "Dad! My Foy just learned leech seed!" What kinda sickos do you take us for? Where the heck did you get the name FOY from anyway?!?! IT'S FRIGGEN NOT RIGHT!!!

What? You question my position? Why did I contact you through viral speak? Why am I not wearing any pants? Eh, gotta run! - Jon Busin Ness

Philip: I got your pants. And you can't have them until you worship Foy.
...So I says to da guy, "Hey! We don't allow penquins in here!"

HA HA HA GUAAAAH HAAA!

...Waita second, this isn't Barneys Beer barn! Where are all da guys? And who are you? Whada you lookin at? Whad is dis place? - Marty Mevkicks
Philip: I could sell you beer though.

I have a borrowed import from Taiwan called "bey blade". It is a great game, related to pokemon, and i think everyone should play it, but i cant find any reviews, previews, nothing! It is made my hudson soft and it sure is great. You catch monsters and pit them in a huge ring and you have to either charge up your energy really quick and knock em out of the ring, or you just stomp em down. I hope someone will look this over plz!!!!!!!! - (LL)BOA-2000
Philip: Hey! You should right a review of it. :)
i remember you know, you came across the parallel vortex to the other dimension with me right? - elpreviewer
Philip: Shhh! People will find out!
