Did the ground move for you when you held that box up to the light and gaze upon the GBA? Well, tell me if it did! If you don't have one yet.. don't worry. Why not talk about games like Alone in teh Dark.. and.. oh, forget it.. just write in people. ^_^.

Philip is listening to: "The Choose a player music" in Super Mario Advance. BWA HA HA! Good. Now.. for a hint of Rayman music. ^_^

My new addiction: Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. Music, sound effects, graphics, tricks and stunts, secrets...this game has it all. My hands HURT when I finally turned it off and went to bed. Not good for my arthritis. Why oh why oh why did I have to get arthritis in my hands. Some guy at church told me it was ironic, but I don't think it's funny at all. - pikamom
Philip: That wasn't nice of him to say. You should beat him up
yeah, um philip,

I just bought pokemon piball used and I was wondering if there was a way to restart the pokedex, I want to start from scratch..is there any way? there must be a way, I tell you..THERE MUST BE A WAY!!!! - kaga

Philip: Hmm... Hold Up, Right, Select, and Start at the same time before the screen that says  "(c) '95 - '99 Nintendo." Then press A to erase all data or B to cancel it. Maybe that help?
The release date list is a joke!  All the dates (which are Supposed to be for the Next Three Months) are all from Last Year!  Please fix!  Please update!! - Bridget
Philip: Okay. I fix soon..
Damn Phillip, I'm afraid I will suck at circle of the moon. I couldn't beat that bastard cerebrus...except by using a fire whip and holy water at the same time....and only barely beat him...and got hit by most of his stuff.....I am suck. Oh yeah, review Rayman and F-Zero....they're both quite sleek and sexy. I enjoy 'em lots. - Tenryuujin
Philip: Level up a bit. :)
Stupid FuncoLand employees buying up all the copies of Super Dodge Ball on opening day...

I mean, sure, Castlevania's a blast, and Chu Chu Rocket (DAMN SONG...AWAY WITH YE!) rocks...But I just have this urge to fling balls at foreigners...

Besides, the Nintendo version was a blast. - caffeine_junkei

Philip: Chu Chu Rocket! (ROCKET!) Put mice in that rocket here! Chu Chu Rocket! (ROCKET!) Keep those kitties away from here! Now, handjive!
I LOVE the voices in Super Mario Advance. And I don't know why people are saying the graphics in Castlevania are dark and not that amazing...play in the dark with a Pelican light shield and you will "see". I was going through a hall last night and you could see the moon through the windows, pretty neat if you ask me. The music is to die for. - pikamom
Philip: Pelican did right. :)
I wrote these last night for s very special girl...  :)

The Garden: 

I'm walking through a garden 
where the flowers all reach bloom 
I smile, so very softly 
Not feeling any gloom 

Reaching for a rose 
growing all alone 
Perfection in itself 
a tender deep red tone 

This feeling of delight 
It's like I was a child 
Standing in my garden 
My imagination runs so wild 

This rose, it is so nice 
I'll no longer feel blue 
I remember this perfect rose 
When I want to dream of you 
 

The Curtain: 

Speaking to a vision of loveliness 
opening my heart to her 
I must speak my mind and open up 
I don't feel reassured 

Nervously, I speak 
Hoping, that in vain 
She'll feel for me how I feel for her 
So my heart feels no more pain 

She holds me close to her own heart 
My own just skipped a beat 
I'd love to tell her what I feel 
My feelings posses no conceit 

Gather my courage into a ball 
I musn't feel uncertain 
I'll show her how I love her 
and move past this Iron Curtain 
 

Innocently: 

The voices from my childhood 
Whispering my crimes of innocence 
I've long since forgotten 
But now I pay the penance 

The first voice was telling me 
What I've done and what I'll be 
The second let me know straight out 
My life has taken an odd route 

The voice of the third said 
the rest were lying 
Telling me that 
My soul should be flying 

The voices of my past were jealous 
What is this they try to tell us? 
They only want to cause me pain 
They've never felt love's sweet refrain... 
~Aaron Jennings~

Philip: Very nice! *sips his caffe latte*
Hey, I was reading that stupid Hsu and Chan comic in EGM's latest issue (with Mario and the GBA on the cover), when I saw a blue LEDYBA! Could that be Foy? I would have bought the magazine and scanned it, but I haven't bought a copy of EGM since those bastards screwed me over in "The Incident" (I'll tell you about it sometime). I also noticed that the little Foy said "I'll swallow your soul!" That's a little bit too much like The 'Pig from Jackie's Fridge... hmmmm.... - Farfetch'd
Philip: Although that quote isn't from "Jackie's Fridge", it's from an old B movie. However, I like Hsu and Chan. Even if that quote isn't original. But what is. Oh, my! Talking appliances. That's incredibly original. What next? Talking toasters? But.. then again.. Keenspace isn't about originality. As a lot of comics hammer that point in. I guess if you want to.. you can complain that too many jokes are the same in comics today?  But similar jokes... I suppose it's alright. Right? After all, when you get tired, you can always just dig up something to fit. What was the thing with "The Incident?"
I think the new Smash Bros. game should have that space explorer guy from Pikmin in it. Then he could just call in some Pikmin to tear opponents apart. Those little dudes are ravenous... - Axem Blue
Philip: The Pikmin can carry Samus back to my ship for food! Yeah. Food.
Thank you for using the "BAM! on the door, baby!" phrase in the headline.  This just proves my point: "Love Shack" is the GREATEST SONG of ALL TIME.  Anybody who wants to fight about it, bring it on. - Jethro McB
Philip: Mmmkay.
Just a thought.  Nintendo should have included an A/V port somewhere on the GBA so that you could have an output to a TV.  This would allow you to play all GB, GBC, and GBA games on your TV with audio and use the GBA as the controler.  I know that the Game Boy is portable, but I spend most of my time playing it at home and it would be less strainful to the eyes if it were on the TV.  I own a Super Game Boy and it was the best investment until the GBC. - Ryan
Philip: Unless you have a *very* High Defination TV, don't even bother. The GBA screen is 240 X 160 pixels or 38,400 pixels total at a 16:9. It has roughly 10,560 pixels per square inch. A normal TV is 640 X 480 at 4:3. Or.. in pixels.. 2,720 per square inch. So, in other words.. unless you don't mind playing an ugly, and squashed mess.. leave GBA games on a GBA screen.
Well, my opinion on the whole DB thing (I just got back from vacation and read all of the past VS) is that it WOULD be good if they kept the original dubbing (from when Pioneer did it) I mean, and this is my view on DBZ, too. The plot is still fairly good (I don't really like the whole android thing... it's too much of a pointless stall) for DBZ, but the dubbing SUCKS! I mean, it has bad voices (I grew up on the originals, so Piccolo sounds like a wussy prissy she-asexual namek, Vegeta sounds half Canadian/British (The arrogance has taken a new tone), and Gohan sounds like he had strep throat for a year... Kuririn (Krillin) IS a freak, but now he has retarted voices, and... Everyone else needs more work, too!), and the animation goes steadily downhill from here (I've seen future DBZ...). DB, however, in the original Pilaf saga (done by Pioneer, of course), had great dubbing and was very funny. The other movie (the Kuririn/Lunch one) was so-so, but the original cast with WORDFIT (all good anime use it) should come back... I miss Pioneer and Ani-Mayhem... <sigh>... - Super SaiyaMew
Philip: Here here!
I hope that guy Duke realizes that there are more than 3 DBZ movies... i don't remember exactly how many there are... i believe its about 11...  the Super Androids kick ass alot...  Broly and Cooler too *_* - Duke
Philip: Indeed.
More evidence that game manual writers should die.

Just beat Oracle of Ages.  At the end of the game, you get a password, right?  Well, that password has 20 characters.  But the space for it in the manual has only 16 spaces.  I really hope someone got fired for that.

Not that it's such a big deal to write it on a separate piece of paper or anything.  But stupidity irritates me.

The game rock though.  Can't wait to get Seasons. - 1600

Philip: Yeah! They rock... the games.. manuals are sometimes written before a game is done. So, at one time.. 16 was enough. But somewhere along the way, it ballooned to 20 and the manual was not rewritten. What you have there is a failure to communicate.. not a fault on the manual writers part. Manuals are generally finished while a game is 80% to 90% complete.
This is a cool word I found in the dictionary.

juju \JOO-joo\, noun:
1: an object superstitiously believed to embody magical powers
2: the power associated with a juju

May the Juju be in your bloodstream. - kaga

Philip: Indeedy.
Can i be again at Viral Speak!?
^_^ - Imakuni? Neo
Philip: Sure. ^_^
Hey, I just noticed, my girlfriend looks like Domino! ENVY ME, for nothing can stop her! - Admiral Tailz
Philip: Swifty! Just don't ever make her mad.
What's really fun in The Sims is to have all the gals in the neighborhood fall in love with one guy (Mr. T in my case, heheheh) and then invite them all over for a party. The only problem was that Ulala moved away. -sniff- - Hopeless TR Fan
Philip: It causes fights.. hehehe
Buy!
The bottom graphic in this box is stupid. It has no ALT text. Point and laugh at it.
I like being blue and white. BUY A GAME!!!
