  11. **SPOILERS** Why leveling up in RPGs isn't fun...

    I don't want to drag this into a "which Final Fantasy game is better", but I've always failed to see how anyone could prefer 8 to 7 or 9. It's one of the weakest of the whole franchise, in my opinion. Nine I do absolutely adore, though, I'm playing it now and I'd forgotten just how good it was...the storyline is a little weaker than Seven, but it's much more fun to play, and it's a fantastic send-off to the Final Fantasies of old.

    17. Mega Man: 26 million

    --This horse has been ridden a little too far, and this coming from a guy that absolutely LOVED the first four or five games. The fact that there's so few sold means there's only a few obsessives that want to play the same game over and over again.

    19. Street Fighter: 25 million

    --See Mega Man.

  18. Death Note

    in Movies & TV

    Posted · Edited by Riceman 4K

    Light Yagami is a brilliant, but bored, high school student who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground in the year 2003. The Death Note's instructions claim that, if a human's name is written within it, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the Death Note's authenticity, believing it is just a prank. However, after experimenting with it and killing two criminals, Light is forced to admit the Death Note is real. After meeting with the true owner of the Death Note, a Shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become "the God of the new world" by passing his judgement on criminals.

    Soon, the number of inexplicable deaths of reported criminals catches the attention of the International Police Organization and a mysterious detective known only as "L". L quickly learns that the serial killer, dubbed by the public as "Kira"(derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "Killer"), is located in Japan. L also concludes that Kira can kill people without laying a finger on them. Light realizes that L will be his greatest nemesis, and a race to prove mental superiority between the two begins.

  22. Recommend me some classic rock

    in Movies & TV

    I really don't know too much about Rock as I just started listening to it. So recommendations would be helpful and if you can give me specific albums, that would be greatly appreciated. I'm mostly interested in stuff from the 60's-80's.

    Groups that I had in mind:

    Pink Floyd

    Jimi Hendrix

    R.E.M.

    Queen

    Tears for Fears

    Rush

    Metallica

    Poison

    So yeah, hit me up with the goodness. Thanks!

  24. Gaming Urban Legends

    in Coin Op Arcade

    Posted · Edited by Riceman 4K

    Back in the day before the internet, gamefaqs, and the other gaming sites, all of my information came from word of mouth and gaming magazines. In order to find glitches and codes, my friends and I would sit around for hours playing games and reading mags. The biggest gaming legend at the time was the mysterious "4th whistle" in SMB3.

    I remember some kid at elementry school saying that he had it. We asked him to prove it and in typical elementry school fashion, he made up some bullshit story. We all went home trying to duplicate it but alas, it was all for naught. We eventually called him out on his bluff but we were all convinced that there was a 4th whistle.

    Every fucking day after school, we would all try to find it. And we did everything. Glitched the game, used the P-Wing in every level, used the hammer suit every chance we got, used the hammer on the map at random areas. Nothing. Eventually we gave up but damn, trying to find that 4th whistle owned my soul.

    Of course, being an avid SF gamer, the Shen Long trick pissed me off as well. It was impossible to do. When I found out it was fake...
