Viral Speak 11-01-2000
More than you know.. I wish I had been there.. I wish it was so.. to protect and to save.. bring the four of the South, North, West, East... push back the moon.. on the Tree of Never... to fell the Emperor. Actually, I am pretending that if I beat the game.. Nintendorks will suddenly start updating again.

Did you know that Bowser's real name is Morton?

In Super Mario World on SNES, the boss on the 2nd castle is named 
Morton Koopa Junior. Bowser is his father. 

Who is his wife?? - Aipom

Philip: Here's a sad theory.... do you think the Princess reallys stays in her cell all the time?
I feel that I haven't gotten a good dose of viral speak like in the good ol' days.  I've always expected to see Viral Speak everytime I log onto this website..but no..

I see nothing!  Give me viral! give me speak! give me VIRAL SPEAK! - Dark Terran

Philip: I shall!
I need a pokedex strategy guide! I got all the badges, beat Elite Four and Red, got Luigia and Oh-Ho...now my objective is to "catch 'em all". Prima e-mailed me back on my question "when will you release your pokedex?" and they said "Jan. 15th." Why can't I find information on all the pokemon? Did Nintendo make a rule that no one could publish complete pokemon info? - pikamom
Philip: Hmm.. try www.totallygs.com I think it's nifty... well.. it's pokedex is..
Flaming Moose wonders what happened to DMGIce previews.  Moose liked reading about upcoming games.  Also, kudos to Josh for the awesome Ice Box storyline.  Can't wait! - Flaming Moose
Philip: Well, let's see.. I'm working on so much stuff.. I can actually let another staff member do some and I have commanded Adrock to go and bestow unto us some sweet Preview Action to give you sa-tis-fac-tion!
Beware of Win-Dixie Super Markets. Their managment are complete jerks with sticks so high up their arse they don't even know where it begins anymore. Go shop at a good old fashon Publix Super Market. They're nicer and pay their employees more. Win-Dixie managers can't take a joke. Publix managers make all the jokes for you. If you can avoid both, though, do. Go get a job at Best Buy. I know I am going to try to. I hate being a Win-Dixie Cashier Monkey. It sucks and the chain hurts my ankle. I also hate being told to learn spanish. Why don't they learn english? Miami is still part of the USA, damn`it! Learn OUR language and stop yelling at me!! 

"And so when pain comes along
Just go with the flow
Don't turn your back to problems, 
Just give it a go
Your troubles in life, will eventually 
serve you as a drop of spice in your life..." -Lammy (Keep your head 
up), Um Jammer Lammy

- Salohcin Geen

Philip: Interesting...
hey, anyone who plays ultima online, my name is sjen on the kaerdoth shard. - jumbo
Philip: Nifty.
I was looking through the archives...  I forgot I even wrote it up, but you posted something of mine on my birthday.  Cool.And forgive me for harshing on Pokemon back then.  I was an unelightened soul. - CX
Philip: Thou art saved now. ^_^
I GOT OH-HO!! just by cheating a teensy eensy little bit. The trick you told me about, Philip, with the brainboy and the radio station contest and the ID no. worked perfectly!

I have an e-mail saved on my gameboy for you, and I'll send it today when I call in for the mail Lady Rend sent me. I'm forwarding you the first newletter I got from gameshark.com. - pikamom

Philip: Saw it and it is cool. ^_^ I'm tempted to start making a newsletter specifically for those people on Shark MX.. hmm..
Check out this picture I made,

- Gaseous Snake
Philip: He he he.. that's funnier than it should be. Oh for those who own one now.. I can say but one thing.. ain't it great that ALL the RPGs for that system SUCK? I mean.. seriously.. anyone who loves RPGs has no business owning a PS2 at this point and time. And if you sold your N64 and PS One (PSX) to get one, I suggest you take the whole bottle of Nyquil tonight. I'll be playing Majora's Mask -which is 100% better than anything on the PS2 right now. And this month I will be playing FF9 and Lunar 2. So, enjoy you're new DVD player... I'll play some games now.
Do you know how freaky it is to turn on your game around 5:54, start cruising around on your bike to build up your Pokémon in your grassy areas, having it be as bright as it could possibly be...and then six minutes later have the world around you turn to pitch darkness? 

Jinkies. It's scary. - The Heptagon

Philip: Feh. I live in Missouri. That happens here for real.
Hey Philip...has your site ever been featured in a magazine like Pocket Gamer?

Have you noticed that there are two magazines almost exactly alike, one called Pocket Gamer and the other one Pocket Games?

And no.3...what game magazines do you read? I like the two already mentioned, and Nintendo Power. - pikamom
Philip: I haven't been mentioned there.. (Everyone! Write that magazine and demand they mention us, and AbsoluteGB.com!!) It's like.. only free speech mags like Village Voice wanna mention me.

Anyone watch the Food Network last night? They had "Lieber Man" On there. THEY RIPPED US OFF! - Vertigo1
Philip: We ned to go Iron Chef on their @$$!!
All TOONAMI Fans: WATCH BLUE SUBMARINE No. 6!!!
I saw it at the Chicago ComicCon at the Toonami screening. IT IS SOO COOL!!! the bad guy looks like Bill Gates... any coincidence?

and will the Brain Boy/Monster Brain get an update for GS? If not, I'll get the original, but otherwise, I'll wait... - Super SaiyaMew

Philip: Just saw a commercial for it today.. can you say.. AWESOME! Oh, Perfect Cel..... oh, no! When are the new episodes of Reboot? Can't wait for Endless Waltz.. and people.. the new villians in Sailor Moon make me think.. one thing. Is Navi their leader? They're from Ocarina of Time! I could see it now. "LISTEN!" "Oh, no! My Moon Power is not strong enough to combat the LISTEN!!!!"
For all you Majora's Mask players...  I found this and I thought it was cute.

You know on certain tables there's that cow statue?  (There's one on the mayor's reception desk and one in the bomb shop..)  If you crash into the table, like roll into it, the head will bob on the cow.

I just thought that was kinda kyoot.  Humor me. - Akemi

Philip: YAY!
I tried breeding a Red Gyarados with a regular Gyarados, and it just produced a regular Magikarp. No golden or red or nothing. I should've known better than to think there was a Golden Magikarp. I am too naive. I would've thought places like Gamespot would actually TEST they're codes they post, but turns out no. Anyway, I wonder what happens if you breed two Red Gyarados? Probably just a regular Magikarp. It turns out that there is exactly one shiny version of every single Pokémon in G/S, including those from the original games. (Umbreon's cool. It's yellow parts are replaced by blue). Most are golden, while some are other colors, like the Red Gyarados. They're all considered "Shiny" though, marked by that little shiny symbol next to the gender one. The majority is just out in the wild to catch, but I don't know how it would work with Evolutions and stuff. You know what Foy is? He's GOLD!!!!!!
I MUST HAVE A GOLDEN FOY!!!!
I MUST HAVE A GOLDEN FOY!!!!
I MUST HAVE A GOLDEN FOY!!!!

um...that's it i suppose. My brain always fails me at night. - The Heptagon

Philip: Sweeet. I may need to.. he he he.. fire up a GShark and work on a  shiny Mewtwo.. he he he..
To get stones...

Ingredients:
1 Lickitung
1 Oddish
1 Staryu
1 Vulpix
1 Pichu

Now, go to Cerulean Cape, and talk to Bill's father at the house up there. He'll ask to see these Pokémon (in this order, I think), and give you different, appropriate stones every time. You only get one of each (from him, anyway), so use them well.

Lickitung - EverStone (yes, yet another one of these completely useless items)
Oddish - Leaf Stone
Staryu - Water Stone
Vulpix - Fire Stone
Pichu - Thunder Stone

Pichu evolves the same way as Eevee, btw (it's by happiness); it's only Pikachu that needs a stone. Oh, and you'll have to go outside every time you show him one before he'll ask for the next one (they don't expect you to be well-informed beforehand, don't you know). - TK421

Philip:  Nifty...
I think I sent this message before, but you didn't post it. Since we have been on the subject of Adam Sessler a while, I thought I should bring it up again. I talked to Kate Botello and asked her if she had really given you her fries. She said she had, but that they weren't her fries. She told me she had given you Adam's fries and only the mushy ones were left. So, you hate the evil fries! Quick, here're some Smurf Berries to cover it up! 

PS- Where will I meet you at E3? - Ramzi

Philip: I don't hate Adam Sessler. I said he's evil.. but I don't hate him.. he's a nice guy. Oh, I'll probably be at Nintendo's booth looking around.. or.. if VM Labs has something set up.. I'll be there... I like VM Labs. Or I'll be the one setting up a burnt offering to Konami at their booth. Then again.. I'll post what I'm wearing in the UBB on each day.. so if you are there.. you can find me.. that way everyone can find me.. and give me money.
Usually on viral speak, there's a post that has nothing to do with anything else. Here it is! - Robb
Philip: Always remember to brush your teeth!
Will you be any more convinced if someone else tells you? ^_^ Well, here goes... Miyamoto didn't work on Majora's Mask. I mean, he kept an eye on it, but he didn't play an active part in its development. I'll try and dig out some article to back this up, but I'm pretty sure it's correct... I hope so, 'cos I've made a big deal about this any time the game's been in discussion (just for the record I saw it as a positive thing, 'cos people think of Nintendo as being reliant on Miyamoto for amazing games and this'd prove otherwise)! ^_^` Yours PAL-release-date-kickingly, - S- Cargo
Philip: Nintendo is awesome. That game is actually better than Ocarina of Time...
(And is one of the reasons for simple updates....)
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!!!
