Can I get a witness? Or at least a cookie. Yes, a cookie would be nice. Mmmm.. Salty Rice Chips.

Philip is listening to: "Sakura Saku" - The theme song to Love Hina. I also have no idea why I'm listening to it on repeat.. but... yeah. don't ask.

I have a rebuke for The Ranters comment about Super Mario Broes. yesterday. There are two very good reasons for adding the "super"

First off, their was a Mario Brothers game before the super one. In it the brothers went around on girders (like Dnkey Kong) and beat up turtles for some reason. So when what we know of now as "Super" came around te developers were stumped. It was a different format then the other. So what could they do? It would confuse costumeres to call it Mario Broes. 2 because it was nothing alike. So they Just Slaped Super to it.

Secoundly, though we hate to admit it, Super Mario Brothers was a big rip off of a C-64 game called Giana Sisters. So they had to give something extra to not get sued. Thanks to the added "Super" we ignorant people brought Mario to high video game stardom while no one even remembers Giana.

I hope that clears things up. - The Gameboy Scholar

Philip: The games name is "Great Giana Sisters"; and you're forgetting that Great Giana Sisters came out in 1987 from Time Warp; whereas Super Mario bros came out in 1985 from Nintendo. So, to say that Super Mario Bros. was a clone of Great Giana Sisters would be like saying that Pav-Man is a clone of Gobbler. If you're going to be a scholar.. make sure you study up.
I got the chance to play a PS game that would be perfect as a GBA game: Team Buddies.  It's a combo of puzzle and real-time strategy, and has a darn strange sense of humor... especially in the multiplayer modes.  You can even taunt the other players in that game.

"Powah... you lack powah!"

"I wouldn't feed you to the dingoes back home..."

"You lookin at me?  I smasha you face in!"

Hmmm... Team Buddies, 4-player, and on separate screens so the other players can't see what you're doing... well, I can dream. - NeoVid

Philip: Graphics-wise, I don't see much of a problem with how it could be ported.. the GBA can do polygons, and since everything would need to be scaled down size wise.. perfect. Also.. since Midway published it.. Midway is essentially.. well.. they are.. to put it blunt... cash whores. If the game does/did well on the PSOne.. they owuldn't think twice about making another one on ANY system. Hmm... But right now, for strategy based multi-player devestation, you might want to tag Advance Wars for GBA this September. Oh yeah! Domino can be the CO on my team anyday!
hey what's wrong with stupid people? - booty
Philip: Nothing! But only if they are by themselves. Stupid people in groups, however, are dangerous. I mean, that's how riots, wars, school shootings, and the United Nations happen. 
I bought a used copy of sega smash pack volume 1. Does anyone know how to return to the main menu and save the game onto vmu? Sorry since this isn't gameboy related. - Silance Dogood
Philip: Easy! Save in the game.. now.. hit.. A+B+X+Y+START at the same time.
Hmmm, no one likes "Final Fantasy: The Starship Troopers Within"? Huh, go figure?
Still, I think I'll go see it... yeah...

"You know, some have compared this movie to 'Alien'."
"Really?"
"Yeah, they usually say, 'Alien was pretty good. This movie totally sucked'." - Josh
Philip: Actually.. since it has the same composer from Aliens 3.. yeah.
Hey, I just thought of something cool. You know how the NGC and the GBA link up, right? Well, I got to thinkin' and you know what would be great? Smash Bros. GBA! The thing is perfect for it. Just the right amount of buttons, you could port it perfectly, or at least make it look nice! And link it up for up to four players! And I can only salivate at what the NGC link could add to all of that. I hope Nintendo reads you site, because Smash Bros. in my pants is even better than Camilla in my pants! - Admiral Tailz
Philip: I think the original N64 version could be done fairly easy on GBA.
Here is a review of Pac-Man collection I found on Amazon.com. 
I thought I would share this with you.

hello...i have been playing this one for a while since it came out (80 ok?)...it really is probably one that has some also parts for adult men and also children. the best part is when you beat the levels for music. but the best part is how also the part where jim carrey comes in to find the other pac (men) inside of it. with luck and the big pieces you can "EAT" the "GHOSTS". so without having to spoil the ending i will say that this is by far the best game to come out on Game Boy Advance for the Nintendos because of it's overall gaming plays and the extras for the parts that it does have. i am sure that even though you will also have the best times with it and "WATCH OUT FOR THOSE PARTS!" :)

All I have to say is ....... WHAT? - Jensaarai

Philip: Are you sure that's not from Pickle IGN?
hi my name is annie i come from china but now i am  in australia now about one years i am 13 years old i live in kogararh green streen ii wath you movie before in TV bye - annie

Too many things happen to me... *takes a deep breath* I moved into a new apartment...I met some new friends...one of them is named John...I know too many people named John...why do people name their boys John a lot...is that like the first name that comes into their head...*starts twitching*...too much info in one month...*explodes* - Lady Rend
Philip: Also.. I know like.. 30+ people named Chris. I mean, seriously. What a BORING name!
Hey.  I renamed a bunch of the teams in Super Dodge Ball Advance...  For example, there are eight Bruces on the Australia Southern Cross; Naru, Keitaro, Suu, and Seta are all members of the Japan Love Hina; and my close personal friends make up the player team.  Thought you might like to know. - CX (Pumped that Cowboy Bebop is being shown on CN)
Philip: Sweet! Hmm.. actually.. since I haven't gotten a haircut in about three weeks.. my hair.. combined with my glasses is making me look slightly like Urashima Keitarou.. and that's not good.
Hey Philip can you help me and make copys of the .png comics into .gif format if it's not to hard, because my damn computer doesn't support .png (or .art format) - Slim Shady
Philip: Actually.. it's not your computer.. it's your BROWSER. Even PlanetWeb supports PNG. Hmm.. what are the specs  on your computer (Just wondering) and what browser are you using?
Why do the japanese game companies cut all the good crap out of our games?!!  I say we demand the real items!  In ff7 you cant revive aeris and make her kick sephiroth's A$$. tinstead they killed her and gave us a sorry A$$ ending!  D@mn squaresoft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Crono
Philip: Umm.. Aerith died in the Japanese version as well. It's the way the story.. is. *looks at Aerith figurine on his Console TV.* She was my favorite character in that game.
The PAW of a millennium is my paragon, the DK of a lifetime is my eternal model. Hail the dinos who cloned to our eyes, but shun the dinos whose light is dim from the dawn onward.

A word to the wise is sufficient; all others will suffer. - doozmafutchett!

Philip: Indeed.. the time of the Buffalo is upon us.
By our very own 'namlas' of the NGCCB:

How dinosaurs REALLY died.

Philip: That's only 1/44th actual size though. hehehe
Didn't I tell you to stay off the couch?

Why dont you come to #gameboy more often?

Do you have insurance for when ppl ask stupid questions and you kill them? - Techni

Philip: Yeah. It's expensive too.
Ohh. I stupid. because of my hectic move to Thailand in a week which left my scanner in a box on a boat, the fact that my grandparents' scanner is all pixely and unintelligible, combined with the fact that my friend Craig's is broken, I can't send any new Paul & Ivan comics 'til about september. Sorry. But I'll still have plenty of Hatly goodness to send. - Matt Stefaniuk, Sadistic Monkey Extraordinaire!
Philip: I thought the Snifter rats had eaten your flesh or something.
I hate the goron dancing in Oracle Of Ages. Waaaaa... - wonk hero
Philip: I kinda like it..
Hi Philip. Why does it say not to use rechargeable batteries in the instruction booklets? They never say what will happen if you do use them. I used them in all my game boys. Always nice to save the earth, u know. i had actually heard nintendo gets money from batt. companies. Whats ur view of this? - bob1233445
Philip: Nickel Cadium batteries have a higher leaking potential?
Sorry,I can't speak very good English,but I can say: Your page is very good. - Celebi
Philip: Thank you for reading the site. :) Your English is actually better then many of our own High School graduates. I have nothing but positive items to say about your English. :)
Square's janitor actually designs and programs all of their games. - zeldaman
Philip: Well, you can't expect anyone with TALENT to have worked on Final Fantasy 8! 
As a Democrat myslef, I can state that most of us or not evil/satanists.  Now Bob Barr, is another story... - WDIIA
Philip: I don't blame you. I blame AOL Time Warner. Why? I just do.
I saw Final Fantasy this afternoon...and I liked it.  Me, who though that this movie would be the biggest mistake in the history of filmmaking.  Sure, it did NOT need to be called Final Fantasy (I don't think that Final Fantasy VII, VIII, or X should bear the title of "Final Fantasy" either - FF games should be relegated to feudal kingdoms in a Dark Ages era), that was simply tacked on for brand recognition, but it was a movie that I thought was fun to watch.

..

Is there something wrong with me? - Jethro McB

Philip: I thought the movie was hilarious. No, there is nothing wrong with you. You read DMG Ice... and that makes you a good person. Besides, the Final Fantasy movie IS fun to watch.
You should get a decent pair of pants. No offense... but your pants suck!

On a lighter note. Bow Wow is a lot better than Moosh, Ricky and Dimitri.

Also, ever heard of the the GB game Kaeru No Tameni Kane Ha Naru? I heard Richard from Link's Awakening came from that game! I have been playing it a bit (through a rom, I know... I'm bad), and it had some decent gameplay. But it seem very story based with loads of text... that are 
all in Japanese. Seems like a game never released in the states... - Masamune

Philip: I wasn't released in the states.. Dammit Howard! GIMME MY GAMES! Peter at least gave us Advance Wars.. let us hope our new Canadian friend will see the beauty of niche Nintendo titles.
I saw Final Fantasy the day it came out, and was outraged. NO CHOCOBOS! Mark my words, Square, Your days are numbered. If you recieve a ticking parcel... It's just a clock. Yeah, that's the ticket!Either way, Dr. Sid was the best. the whole "It is not a fairy tale. It is true." line of his got used by me on many occasions just to annoy people. Hee hee! - Matt Stefaniuk, Sadistic Monkey Extraordinaire!
Philip: I know! That's like.. one of the worst pick up lines ever.
