Viral Speak 10-26-2000 Majora's Mask is amazing; not because of the time play, graphics, or
play control. But because of the LOVE. I mean, seriously. When a Zelda
game is done somewhere other than Hyrule.. Miyamoto and friends put tons
of references to other games, and loads of things and bizzare ideals that
they would not use in Hyrule. Whether it is Koholint with it's references
to other game series -Mario Bros., Kirby.- or Majora's Mask which references
those games, and games like Metroid, Pokemon Snap, and older games in the
series. Not text references usually. References like, for example the pictograph
device on the Swamp Tour.. felt exactly like Pokemon Snap for a moment
there. Or the reference that made me almost cry a tear of pure joy. When
the manager for the Indigo-go's (No.. not Ingo... the other manager.) mentioned
that the group is famous for their hit songs like "The Ballad of the Wind
Fish". I'm not too far; but if they actually play it in their concert..
well.. I think I'll just about faint from pure joy. I also enjoyed the
"slightly more ambient" overworld music. After leaveing out the amazing
Zelda theme music we know and love from Ocarina of Time.. Majora's Mask
puts it all back in.
Daily Radar saying something bad about
Sony? Weird! I actually did see a PS2 commercial - and was
dumber for it.
Synopsis: Some kid is holding a crystal-ball looking
thing in the middle of a big city. He opens it up and spills all
these weird little blue...beans, or something. Then it shows him
having all kinds of adventures, racing and shooting and whatnot.
The whole time, this woman's voice says things like "The Ultimate in Personal
Music Technology" and crap. Then it shows a close-up of the ball:
It reads "PS9" in the same font as the PS2 logo. The 9 morphs into
a "2", and the screen says "The
Beginning". We then see a PS2 unit standing
vertically, spinning around in a shaft of light.
That's it. Nothing that would encourage
ANYBODY to buy it. There wasn't even video footage of the games (which
wouldn't have helped, I saw the video on a "Tekken Tag Tournament" commercial,
and it was so grainy and pixelated my head hurt)! Ugg...anyways,
Sony's really screwed themselves. There won't be a steady supply
of systems out until early next spring, just in time for Nintendo and (shudder)Microsoft
to show off their booty-whipping games. Here's to Sony's greatest
mistake ever!
Oh, and if Sony makes it past 3 consoles, I hope
they can come up with a better name. "PlayStation 9"? I guess
they want to be like Final Fantasy. - Jethro McBiggun
Philip: The way I see it is this. PS2 = waste
of your money right now. For that much money you could buy a half dozen
(Or more) GOOD Game Boy games and Majora's Mask. Majora's Mask is the most
perfect single player N64 game I have played since.. well.. ever.
Do you not like me? Not only do you keep
putting off your library update, you haven't posted my comic yet either.
What did I do? I'm sorry, Philip. I'm sooooooooooo sorry, whatever it was.
- HBomb
Philip: Dude.. I'm sorry man.. I've
been like.. really busy and stuff. :( I'm getting to it though!
I just read the most awfully done piece
of journalism known to man. In some internet article, this guy was
discussing Sony and the PS2. According to -his- research, Sony put
Nintendo out of business. Umm, ok. If that were true, you probably
wouldn't be reading this. He made this nifty chart that compared
all the next-generation consoles. It is funny how I have seen about
20 or 30 of these, and each one has different information. This guy
made the PS2 look like it is bigger than Jesus. He glorified useless
details about the system. "It comes in a black box." Not an
exact quote, but a good represention of one. He gave little information
about Dreamcast and GameCube. He referred to the GameCube as "The
Dolphin" which shows the amount of time and effort he put in to this garbage.
He liked quoting stuff in the charts for the GameCube. For instance,
he stated the graphics to be "128-bit" as if Nintendo was lying to us or
something. I don't know what tailpipe this guy inhaled from, but
saying Nintendo went out of business and then talking about their next
system doesn't make sense to me. I think he made a bunch of stuff
up. People are treating the PS2 like it is the resurrection of Jesus
Christ. Big fraggin' deal! The same brown-nosers who praise
Sony will be a praisin' Microsoft next year and praisin' good ol' Nintendo
when they release their new systems. It's like, "Buy Sony
PS2, because Sony invented God." Some might
say I am writing this because I am jealous that I will not get a PS2.
WRONG! Pardon me while Gaseous Snake rips a big fart in disgust!
- Gaseous Snake
Philip: Rat Poison comes in black cannisters.
It must be better than God. In fact, you should send that guy some. He
might comment on how it put Sticky Mouse Strips and the Mousetrap out of
business.
Why don't you print my letters. Well,
they are letters that form words.
Anyways, I usually write insightful things that
reflect modren society.
My posts are intellient but you must look beyond
the glits and glamor and get back to the the basics.
Well thank you for your time.
PS: The racoon flies at dawn... - CrazyKola
Philip: I know. I watch the racoon... I know
their plans...
Sup Philip, I want to know if you like
to play DDR(Dance Dance Revolution).I think it's a cool game.And i am pretty
good Better than Jaygee1 Which is pretty good But now i am better I went
to Nickle Nickle (an Arcade)All week ANd now I kick ass .If you do play
are you any good? - CrazyKiller
Philip: I can dance. I like the games. I danced
at E3 and got a free Rumble Pack. Although.. I am positive that at DDR,
Akemi, or any of my sisters could kick your derrier, BOY.
Ya know what sucks? These "new" Final
Fantasy games (from FF7 on) suddenly don't seem fantasy-oriented anymore.
No. They look like reality-based anime. Then again *looks at Misty* I think
I just got my final fantasy... :) - Axem Blue
Philip: She will make it final..
FARFETCH'D's so mischeviously hot, hot,
hot!
I couldn't help laughing my ass off upon seeing
that in the game, mainly because when I think 'Farfetch'd' I think Josh
Nickerson.
Oh, and that lady in Goldenrod who tells you the
happiness of your Pokémon, you know what she said about my Hoothoot
Gimpy? She said "It's quite cute" That's all she said. It's happy quota
forever remains a mystery to me.
FARFETCH'D's so mischeveiously hot, hot, hot!
- The Heptagon
Philip: That means.. well.. she says things.
You Hoothoot is "averagely" happy. The Happy rateing is a 1 for best, 6
for worst deal. That saying is like.. number 3. And Josh.. should update
The Lieber Man comic.. if he does that.. I might finish up Team Redline
6.. just in time for Neo Vid. ^_^
Is mystical ninja: featuring goemon a
gameboy game? It's not on your reviews OR wish list! explain, please!
- Dark Terran
Philip: Remember.. we use proper names.
It's "The Legend of the Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon". We have two reviews
of it at this time. ONE!
TWO!
my eevee and my ditto wont make love
:(
maybe with some Gino... - jumbo
Philip: Naw.. try vanilla.. that's a natural
aphrodisiac.
Why buy a Playstation 2 when you can
get your very own Pimpbot 2000? - Tenryuujin
Philip: Sweet!
Hey guys, what happened to the comics
& Importionality? The Importionality hasn't been updated for a long
time and the only comic that seems to be updated anymore is Ice Box with
some AT Freak Show thrown in every once & a while. Where's B&W's
World, Usual Suspects & Viral Speakers!? WHERE!? - Duke
Philip: Time keeps slipping.. into the future.
Oh, Importationality hasn't been updated a bit because there really isn't
anything new to report. Oh, I would like to mention that Mega Man Xtreme
is out in Japan.. and it's slick. Not only does it feature stages and characters
from the Mega Man X series.. it's good. I mean.. Dr. Light, Zero, Sigma..
all make appearences.
Philip, you should be so proud. I've
been surfing around the internet today checking out other game sites and
message boards, and none compare to DMG ice. It feels like family here,
and I didn't see that anywhere else.
P.S. If you want to send e-mail to my gameboy,
my address is pikamom@gamesharker.com. The server isn't up and running
yet, but the guy on the phone told me hopefully tomorrow - pikamom
Philip: Cool! ^_^ So.. the MX is currently
in that Diablo II syndrome?
WHOOOO! SOPHOMORES WIN THE PEP
RALLY! YAY! ZERO-THREE'S THE WAY TO BE! - Joltz
Philip: Yay.
I thought the rival was cool! at least,
in a hippy-hair anarchist kind of way. My Umbreon is evil! He secretly
watches me... I know it!
"Did you come to get Kurt to make some balls?
A lot of people do that." hehehe...Kurt made my balls. How 'bout you? -
chibi-me
Philip: I taught Kurt how to make balls.
OK first off I am a big fan of DMG ICE.
And even though I am a webmaster too, I still love your site just about
as much as IGN! Well heres the question, I can't find any place to
buy evolution stones in Pokemon G/S! I checked both Malls and a few
Marts! Where are they? If they aren't here, how do I evolve
Pichu, or Eevee? Or InnnaaahHH! Please help me! If possible
email me the answer at nfanboy@hotmail.com - ngamer007
Philip: Please.. someone tell me too. O_o
It's been a month and still no Nintendorks.
The paaaaiiiiinnnnnnnnnnn........ - Avatar1130
Philip: To help you a little.. I will proceed
to violate you with the text. The text is violating you in a way that you
haven't been violated in a while. And I will say pants.
You know, as odd as it might seem, I
never had a favorite Pokémon till Gold and Silver came out. My favorite
is none other than...Umbreon! I don't know why people had such problems
getting Eevee and then evolving into an Umbreon. I got one long before
you had to say it fifty billion times to everyone. Anyway, in the first
games I basically went Psychic with a ghost thrown in. I never really paid
much attention to
Eevee and its evolution. Now I'm going Eevee
all the way. I'm gonna raise all five evolutions up to their full potential,
and use them as my team. For the sixth I'll either have a built up Eevee
or whatever I feel like using. Essentially, Umbreon has changed my whole
perspective on the world of Pokémon. Go! Umbreon!
Oh, and my Umbreon Phalanx is the best Umbreon
in the whole universe. He rules. - The Heptagon
Philip: I like Lugia, and Celebi... and Skarmory..
mmm... and Tediursa.. SO KYOOT!
I've got Sony's other mascot, it's...
loading... - Hopeless TR Fan
Philip: He he he
Hey, in pokemon Gold and Silver, what
happened to Agatha? Did she...*sniff*...she...*sob*...d-d-d-i-ie? *Bursts
out into tears* - Mankind
Philip: My belief is that she went insane
and now lives in the house below Cerulean and when you talk to her.. she
gives you a little "protection thingie"..
I could get all the food to Sessler,
but I don't know if I'd be able to find him that easily at E3. I hear it's
a pretty crowded place. This is going to be my first year going... hopefully.
Was he hard to find?
I don't know if I could get Peter Main to dye
his hair blue and grow it as long as John Romero's. That would almost be
as hard as convincing John to cut his hair. Not gonna happen. So... uh,
Philip, would you dye your hair blue and grow it has long as John Romero's
for... SMURF BERRIES COVERED IN MAGICAL MIYAMOTO DUST?! - Ramzi
Philip: SMURF BERRIES! Sure! ^_^ As for Adam?
I would use my internal ability to track people who are either important
or evil. Adam hard to find? No. Not at all, he's either roaming the grounds
around the "Tech TV" booth.. or clinging to the Konami booth. That's what
happens you know.. everyone clings to Konami..
Man, what is up with mom (in pokemonm
g/s) she always spends my money on stuff I'd never buy. Well, except for
the dolls she buys for me. Last time she called me up she bought me a super-huge
snorlax doll. It's as big as a beanbag bed!
And PS2 sucks.
Random comment.
yeah. - Orochi p_fish
Philip: Ain't mom the best? I mean.. I wish
that Snorlax doll was real.
AAAAHHHH!! What the &%#$ are they
doing to my game??!! Phil, please make a petition and save me! Before its
too late! No, I don't wanna be a yellow rat! Help! Tell Nintendo that you
love me before it's too late!
*Rips off Pikachu costume and runs away for dear
life* - Kirby
Philip: I enjoyed your games. There should
be more of them. But you have the worst.. luck dontcha. I mena.. Kirby's
Air Ride became 1080, and now your Tilt and Tumble (Which I pre-ordered....)
may become Pikachu's newest mind entrapment device... poor guy.. your life
must suck. Get it? he he he
