I'll give you Suikoden (and Suikoden II for that matter) but Cross being better than Trigger? No no no no no. I've played through CT over and over again to try to get all the different combinations. I could barely make it through one run of Cross, and could not see how it related to CT at ALL, COMPLETELY different games and worlds. Crono, Lucca and Marle scampering around as midget ghosts? Way to screw all the GOOD theories about Schala over too... Decent music though.

I think the inn thing is based off how much you actually need it. If you need more hp and mp restored it will be more expensive.

Agreed. I do a bit of sound mixing myself (mostly live theatre) and I can safely say that usually the only reason people notice sound is if it's absolutely terrible. If people actually remark on sound as enhancing the experience or whatever then, THEN you have something that doesn't happen very often. Dark Knight got pigeonholed into getting sound because they figured the big summer blockbuster needed to get something and they voted for sound for Slumdog because they liked the music used in it. Because all sound mixing is music, you see.

Though I will say it probably deserves it for editing

Sound mixing to Slumdog instead of Wall-E when there was nothing BUT sound for like the first half of Wall-E? Do they even have other sound mixers vote on these things?

I thought they were going to have Walken do the Ledger intro when he came out because they were both the main villains in Batman sequels, but Kline did it much better.

I more meant it didn't get a little snippet in the song. Moulin Rouge did. Brolin just MIGHT upset... I'm not sure...

High School Musical but no Rent? Boo.

Everyone seemed to think Dark Knight would win all the design categories... I feel like it's going to get shut out, and yes, I'm including Ledger.

Chandler is actually a pretty good pickup for OKC. He's a proven big in the middle with their sea of unproven Senes and Swifts. I'm a Bulls fan so we'll see which Tyson Chandler they get, the Chris Paul near all-star or Ben Wallace-lite. but seriously... PG - Westbrook SG - Durant SF - Green PF - This one they have a hole at for the foreseeable future. I guess you throw Collison in there C - Chandler If they luck into Blake Griffin this summer that team will be SICK in a couple years.

I think the hidden key in all of this is that Miami gets Jamario Moon, who could be a very solid 6th man off the bench behind Beasley. Apparently Moon is going to start in the short term. Miami's coach wants to keep developing Beasley as a 4 who gets spot minutes at the 3. Apparently if Beasley buffs up he can start to play some at center.

So I beat Chaos last night before going out for drinks and am wondering if I want to do the hidden stuff with the really tough dungeons. The GBA version was RIDICULOUSLY easy. Early in the game I grinded for gold and did a fair amount of leveling as a result and I never had a problem with any of the bosses at all. I don't think I've ever had a game where leveling was so easy. I didn't play much of the original FF mainly because I was like 7 when it came out and I didn't have the patience for those graphics back then. It's a decent plot for such an old game and it was fun enough, but at least the GBA game was incredibly easy. Personally, I'd rather just go on to FFII.

Hence the guilty pleasure. I don't really like her as a character, yet I would always have her in my party just because she'd add the most random shit to situations.

Spoiler: Click here to viewI just have a hunch that Sylar's dad is going to wind up being that invisible guy from Season One. I think his name was given as Claude Rains, but I don't think that was REALLY his name. He's still alive, right? I'll have to go back and watch the first episode from this season and see if the guys that attack Sylar have heat goggles or something.

Spoiler: Click here to viewThere are a lot of clues and speculation that she's Daniel's mother. The chalkboard is familiar, the physics, etc. Either that or she's Judi Dench's character from Chronicles of Riddick...

One of my favorite things to say with my roommate is: "I murdered a man and I did it on purpose!" "SHUT UP DOWN THERE!" *smirk* Not sure if that's the specific wording, but Charles Dance is better than you. Yes, even in Alien 3.

Last night's ep might be the best one I've seen since Season One. It FELT like Season One. I don't know if I should put this in spoiler tags, but... "Cake!" Freaking awesome. Heroes and Sarah Connor Chronicles are two shows I'll be sad to see cancelled within the year.

I forget what it was called, but back on NES there was some baseball game you played with robots where if you tried to steal a base you'd have to fight for the out. I pretty much just always tried to steal all the way to home even when all I hit was a single.

Not sure how much of a sacred cow this might be on this board but... Wrestling Spirit and whichever TEW came out after the original one. I could never get into either of those game whereas I STILL play EWR to this day. I just think there's way too much going on in both of those games and I always had more fun just staying out of the loop and simulation to see who people would book as champions or who would sign where. Call me old fashioned, but I just miss the emails from Mr. McMahon saying he didn't really click with Shawn Michaels, why don't you try putting me in a program with Rikishi instead?

Spoiler: Click here to viewHowever, Angela already stated her power is that she can see the future through her dreams. I can't see a connection between those two powers, or how an evolution of her power could lead to that. I hope she isn't actually his mum. Otherwise, it'd be silly to the level of a soap opera. Spoiler: Click here to viewAt the rate they're going, first Claire, now Sylar, maybe they will soon realize that EVERYONE is a Petrelli. Angela's real name is EVE and she and Adam are immortal and have bee naround forever! OMG!

I used to have photoshop but uit was lost on my old computer. This is my first try at using GIMP, so here's a Punk on KyKy if anyone wants it. The black bg was a BITCH to cut. CM Punk

For an honest opinion on the background, while it is something different break up the monotony, it just doesn't work for the type of graphics we and you are all making. It's not a question of 'ugly' or 'bad-looking,' it's a question of practicality. With Kody's background, the cuts have to be absolutely PERFECT to not look like crap. The warm colors in the background make even a halfway decent cut look sloppy as hell. The KyKy background makes it much easier to hide some of the flaws inherent in cutting. This is because of the grayscale blending in much more seamlessly with the edges. With the warm color Kody background, it can be very jarring. With lesser known workers, it can be especially helpful to use the KyKy because the source pics are often of much worse quality. As always, this is only an opinion, but it is something I've noticed. The Kody bg can work for really really really high quality cuts, but for anything suspect, KyKy is the safer option.

I'm a fan of "Terra" from FFVI. I would recommend tracking down a version of it called "Terra In Black" by a guy called Ailsean. Absofrickinlutely AMAZING.

The James before Lily thing was something that JK's editor made a mistake on. It was originally written the correct way, but the editor figured that James was always supposed to come out before Lily because it was standard cannon that it was first James... then Lily... yadda yadda yadda... not taking into account the 'reverse' nature of things. It was fixed in later versions and was simply a mistake, nothing more.
