Little Jimmy: "Because an Urban Legend is a large untruth accepted as a truth by people who don't know any better?"

Philip: "Actually, Timmy.. that's a factoid. An Urban Legend is a rumor or lie spread around like fact to evoke terror or evoke a passionate response. Like those e-mails saying that you need to pass on the e-mail for a charity or to help a starving girl in Utah who was found in a bath tub with her kidneys removed and now is a blind paraplegic who just wants to go to Disneyland."

Little Jimmy: "Oh! So, it's like saying I'll explode if I eat pop rocks and Mountain Dew?"

Philip: "Exactly! Here, have a powdered sugar donut."

The (supposed/imagined) powdered form of Anthrax that is so.. popular these days among paranoid people is not what you need to worry about.. it's the livestock version of Anthrax. So next time you are in a foriegn country or even in the wilds of America, follow these instructions. Cook your meat, don't get animal blood on you, and don't have sex with wildlife. Oh, and don't do drugs.

Yes. Yes it is.

If you're laughing right now.. then.. *takes out his wand*

Okay... that sounded wrong.. hey.. Harry Potter might be a cool movie.. despite the fact that it is about a boy who plays with his wand. Besides.. it has Hermoine.. and she rocks.

Ya know i was arguing with one fo my friend over whether or not any games are kiddie.  He was of the opinion that there are such things as "mature" games.  But then, he owns a Play Station and is soon to get a PS2.  But he also owns pokemon....Just tell me im right and that there is no such thing as "kiddie" games!!!  Because there isn't!!!!!!!!  Oh, ya, and the ice blue ice cream....mmm, more DMG ICE food, served raw and kicking...:) - clarynet

I saw an advertisement that said:
"FLYING BY FOY" - Bas

I got the opportunity to hold an XBOX controller the other day-here are my impressions: ::breathes in:: 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
::breathes:: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAahhh...oh..hoo... 
It'l like holding a can of spam with joysticks. I could barely hold the damn thing. And the funny thing is that the guy in  the new EGM said that focus groups said it was a great controller. I wonder if anyone at Microsoft has tried their own controller? SO, long story short,  XBOX BOOOOO! - Admiral Tailz

Sure, you may dislike EGM and the lack of accuracy that the mag exhibits sometimes.  Dont we all?  But did you ever think about how hard it is to run a mag when your staff is filled with a bunch of jackasses?  Not the explitive, mind you, but a bunch of literal donkeys?  How do you expect them to report any news at all, much less do it accuratly?  Its a miracle  that mag makes it out each month given the circumstances behind its genesis... - PoBob The Happy Monkey

Mmmmm HBomb milk O_O

Anyways, I had to stay after school for math tutoring today.
I discovered....
YOU CAN DIVIDE BY ZERO!
Likewise, YOU CAN DIVIDE INTO ZERO!
The quotient will always be 0. Division is multiplying by the 
reciprocal of you number, and if you do that, the quotient will always be zero! 
Also,
SS+BBS+VS+O+N=DMGI Simplified =HAPPY! - Aipom

PI is 3.14 and you can write letters in numbers with this chart. For example: DMG Ice is 437 991
Nintendo is 45061001
Now add up all the numbers in Nintendo for 17. Now, multiply that by 8 because there are 8 letters in the word Nintendo. You have 136 now. Divide it by 3.14 for an infinite result. of 43.312101.. etc. Now, in theory, add the numbers behind the decimal point together until you get a whole number for 44. Although, if you add them as 3+1+2+1+0+1+etc... you may end up above 10 so keep adding until you get a tangible number ending in 0. Now in theory, you should be able to multiple that by the original 17 and find that number stream you just made in Pi. Or simply, you can find 45061001 in that order in Pi.
 

Once you figure out what I was doing. It's actually quite brain melting.
What do you think of Ouija boards? They freak me out. - e!>

Aside from the Pokemonoke (hehe, there's another one for you) referrence, EGM has been sort of just annoying me in general lately.  Their magazine is comprised mostly of ads.  In second place, lots and lots of first looks and previews--very verbose ones.  Now I like previews as much as the next guy, but their reviews, in comparison, really lack content.  Shouldn't the review be more important than the preview?  I think so...

And plus, they mostly just rave about how great X-Box is.  I myself can't see why.  The only thing it has going for it, really, is Halo, and I bet that'll see release on other systems in a year or so...

That Jeanne girl seems really bitter and angry, too--very needlessly.  I'm not just saying that because she trashes Nintendo, although that did annoy me.  She just seems... well, very bitter and angry, and that's not the type of person I want to read.

One reason she likes X-Box is because of Cel Damage.  Now that's coming out on GameCube, too.  heh  X-Box is just sort of a useless system, IMO...

I'm more interested in that GBA peripheral Nintendo is releasing. You know, the GameCube? - Jesse Dylan

You wanna know why you are getting interesting reponses to the Oddish?  Cause it was tastless.  I know you have a disclaimer, and usually it doesnt bother me.  In fact I think you can be very witty like 95% of the time.  But that installment of Oddish just crossed the line of good taste, Phil.  And the sad thing?  I am going to continue to come to your site, and will continue to read the Oddish just as frequently as I always did.  While I think that was a really manipulative thing to do in these times, none of us are above making the occasional mistake.  Whether or not we admit to them is an entirly different matter. - PoBob The Happy Monkey

You fucking suck for the Oddish man.  I dont care what type of disclaimer you have on that.  That is the ultimate LOW level of taste, and I think you should fucking rot in Hell for that.  Do not try to make light of what happened that day.  Its just tastless.  I am so sorry...Just deal with it - .......

What the Hell was up with all the Anthrax references here on your site?  Are you trying to fuel your readers fear?  Dude, be a bit more responsible... - You suck, Phil.....

Hey Phillip! Have you been to a cubeclub yet? I was there today in Phoenix and it was pretty Spiffy. I'll give you some hands-on impressions.

   The System Itself- I never realized how tiny this thing was! The controller is pretty good, and very comfortable, except for the tiny D-pad and some akward button positioning

   Luigi's Mansion- Repetitive! The game is basically "Find Ghosts in room, Suck up all ghosts, Get key, go to next room" It's pretty cool but I got bored with it after about 5 minutes.

   Rogue Leader- Really hella Cool! Rogue Squadron with better graphics and non-sucky music. the only thing I didn't like was the radar. It's totally inadequate for the space based missions(I'm used to the X-wing games on the PC witch have a MUCH better Radar). Ground mission's are great though..

   Wave Race- Better than the first, lots of fun and amazing water effects!

   Pikmin- Before I played it, I wasn't really looking forward to it, but now that I gave it a chance it's pretty good. They say its a strategy game, but it's really more of an action game. 

   Super Monkey Ball- Touch My Monkey! TOUCH IT! This game is about 10 million times more fun than Mario Party, with modes like, Monkey Fighting, whare you roll around with a punching glove attached to your ball and try to knock your opponents off a platform, Monkey bowling, Monkey billiards and Monkey Race!

  Smash Bros. Melee. As much fun as the original with better graphics, more characters and more interesting level design.

   Star Fox Adventures- EXACTLY like Zelda 64, except more cutesy-poo. I didn't really get into it...

  All in all the line-up for the cube is looking great!

  PS I made sure to wear my Sega Dreamcast T-shirt! - Armacham

Re: Mythri--I would be willing to wait another year.  I don't know who all would still buy a GBC game a year from now...  I certainly would.  If they made sure the graphics were still bright on Game Boy Advance, I'd be even happier to buy it.  Maybe it could be converted to Game Boy Advance?

I feel horrible about Mythri.  It's more than sad.  And Phil is right, IGN totally snubbed Magi-Nation (a great game--probably the best storyline in Game Boy/Game Boy Color history).  They don't update much, they kind of snub RPGs in general...  I dunno.

So...  Yeah.

Phil, I want Mythri. - Jesse Dylan

Some game suggestions that will probably never happen:SimCity 2000. It could be done easily, and didn't they make a Super Nintendo version?
Some sort of game programming device that allows me to connect to my PC via an USB port. It would use a different program format from normal games so you couldn't pirate them. Maybe let you program in a couple different languages. Any way, it would be probably easier than DirectX 
under Windows. "What do you mean you can't create the lpddpal? I just defined it!!! Stupid 8-bit palettized bloody piece of ****" 'kick' "Think you can push me around??!!!" 'kick' 'boom' "Oh well, it was only a Pentium.." - mE_

Moo!!!! The pinecones are coming! HELP ARMAGEDDON!! A cat is not a vegetable. Cat's aren't waterproof. God made elk god made deer, God made N'sync damn them queers!!!

HAHAHAHAHA I have pelted your brain with useless information! Your brain will start melting in about ten minutes.

Before your brain melts however answer me this. What is the first game you'll be getting for GCN? I wanna get Starfox Dino planet frst but I think i'll have to settle for luigi's mansion as it's not coming out for a while. - BlowtorchX

Rose

Vulture Armor
Blood Pillar
Dark Mountain
When these petals wilt
Entwine me in silver
Give me Iron Thorns
Never let me
Forget.

OMGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!!!! On Nintendojo they said 4Kids bought the rights to Nintendo characters,and, get this...the mentioned a PIKMIN EXERCISE VIDEO! HOLY GOD! Just think about it for a minute. It will make you happy. - Admiral Tailz

I had an interesting little talk with Hbomb on MSN. It had everything a good conversation should; Donuts, reality TV, comics, Getting your arm stuck in chairs, Bill & Ted, pancakes, Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Cannibalism, and how people say I look like Ashton Kutcher from Dude, Where's My Car? and That 70's Show. - Matt Stefaniuk, Sadistic Monkey Extraordinaire!

YAY! I GOT ADVANCE WARS! I LOVE IT AND I'M NOT EVEN DONE WITH THE TRAINING MISSIONS YET! It would be very cool if there were Advance Wars action figures. THere would be COs and each one could come with Mini-Soldier Battle Icon Figurines. And they could make almost full sized (compared to the Co figures) army troops and stuff. And they could also make play mat grids to use the stuff on. Think about, now you can put Sammi in you pants(pocket) 2 ways! But one thing I don't get in the game, how the heck do you use your CO 
power?

In other news: I have Gundamitis!
Must get more and more Gundam Figures from all 5 'sets'!
And I must get the Huge GP-01/02/Wing Gundam. And so far I'm only missing about 7 major figures/playset thingys before I can start the ULTIMATE GUNDAM WAR!!! Er, that is all. Oh yeah, The Reason Why the US Got Attacked(just to jest)
Alfonzo: Look Bob I found a stick!
Bob: Weah.
Alfonzo: Let's go poke Osama Bin Laden with the stick Bob!
Bob: Weah.
*Alfonso walks up to Bin Laden*
*pokes 'em with the stick*
Bin Laden: Bleaaaggghhhher grr.
*Bob and Alfonso run away*
So Bin Laden got ass backwards-confused and instead of touching the arctic circle, he attacked the US also because he is such a dumb shit in the first place. THE END
Tehee!

You do relize that Capcom has some publishing rights to SNK games, so we might see some of these games but they will be made by Capcom. - Slim Shady

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWNNN...

Gee, I guess I haven't been around this site too much... well, I guess 
it makes sense since these fast few months have been absolutely 
horrible... totaling a 2001 Toyota Sienna car acciddent among other things. Oh 
well, now that all that crap is cleared up I can get back to 
"important" things.

Enough of my rambling!

Upon your recommendation (you don't remember reccomending this do you?) 
I read Maus. Although the characters were "cartoony" looking, there was 
a well-crafted dark atmosphere that permeated all layers of the story. 
I liked it very much.

Also, I would like to know if the idea of SNK working some of its 
Samurai Showdown or Last Blade magic on the GBA is feasible.

Also, I need some birthday advice. Of the following items, which would 
you consider the best to ask for. Money isn't really an issue. If 
something costs too much, I'll pay the extra.

Akai Headrush Delay Stompbox

Crybaby 535q Wah pedal

DVD player

Game Boy Advance

Also, has Philip listened to Sigur Ros?

Finally, download and listen to this:

My friend and I made it with guitars, a cheap Casio keyboard, and a 
hacked recording program.

And those who plagiarize Phil must be attacked my evil sqirrels. - Robin

"On that note, Jeanne, you're an idiot. ^_^ Crispin.. you still rock."

I wholeheartedly agree.  Don't you want to know what Jeanne would say now that her beloved Cel Damage is coming to GCN within the launch period?  

I don't mind the XBox.  It's the people around it that bother me.  Didn't you just want to punch Fries and Blackley in the face after reading the XBox vs. GCN article?

I'm going to take Crispin's advice and look into buying one of these "Virual Boys".  Is that like Haley Joel Osment in that movie about the thing?  'Cause that was creepy. - Jethro McB

i like placemats and pocket squirrals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know I've never liked EGM very much at all, but I've still had hopes they would change. But now I've completely lost all respect for that magazine. I decided to check out the latest issue on the news-stand and what's the first thing I see (after about 15 pages of ads in the front)? An idiotic letter from the editor bitching about Zelda's new cel-shaded look. I've had it with this so called "gaming magazine" and will never read another issue again. - Josh

Ya know what rules? Bubblegum Crisis. Especially BGC: Tokyo 2040. Hot chicks in hardsuits. (thinks) Yes, I know you ppl are gonna say "Yeah, they like their suits hard" but that's besides the point... I like the part where Linna and Nene are talking about Priss:
"But I bet she must have a boyfriend..."
"Boyfriend? Priss? HAHAHAHA!!!"
"You mean she swings *that* way?"
"Hmm? What way?"
"I mean does she like girls?"
"?? You're strange, Linna!"
<Linna blushes>

Hey Philip, that's pretty cool that you've seen Kiki's delivery service. Anyone else seen that movie. It's REALLY good. - Bacchustyle

Hey.. what would you do if there was a portion of the DMG Ice Reviews that was made for animation.... would you be willing to review your favorite animation DVD, LD, or VHS?
