c'mon people! let's spam our way to 10000 posts!

[*NADS Capt. Anarchy]

i'm looking at the numbers, and right now we're at 9957 posts, only 43 away from the magic 10k. so, here is a thread for everything and nothing, just so we get there soon!

Only one rule: no two posts can be on the same topic. make something new up!

and now, for my rant

-gets up on the soapbox-

Now, i know this may be getting old, but i'm gonna bitch and whine about AK for starters. They are always the center of the problems on GR/RS/The Fourms. Ha ha! I had ya going there for a moment, didn't I? No, my real topic today is gonna be something tenfold more important than that: food.

Now i know you all are moaning and grouning about this topic comming up again, but this is important. Without food, where would we be? Well, we'd be dead, of course. But i don't want to just rant about any old food. i want to talk abotu those really important foods. the ones you can't live without. the ones you really NEED. the ones that are so mouth-wateringly tasty that you just have to have them. that's right, i'm tlaking about Hot Dogs, the wonder food.

But why are Hot Dogs so important? think about it. They are the continuation of a tradtion of meat preperation that goes back over 4000 years. They are an icon of an american food. And you can eat many of them before you get full. Unless you get teh really good ones, whice are about an inch and a half thick and a foot long, made of real beef and with a bun to match. One of these can feed a family of four for a week, so as you eat one just know that you are having 84 servings all at once. Yum.

Why do hot dogs come in packs of 10 and hot dog buns in packs of 8?

It's simple. Because i told them to.

To get in the spirit I'll give all of you a free preview of my editorial that will be going up on www.tendonet.com in the near future.  Enjoy.  But consider this, me and the three moderators together have nearly a third of the posts.  Frightening isn't it.

     I?m here to answer that age-old question, does size matter; game library size that is.  A tricky question no doubt, but in the end it isn?t the amount of games, it is how the games that are there are used.  In four months of playing the Gamecube I?ve played thirty some odd games.  Compare that to the N64 where I probably would have played five games in that time.  

     You might be thinking, wow, six times as many games; you must really be enjoying the console.  While I wouldn?t trade it for any of the other current systems, the N64 seemed much better because most of the games I would play had an extreme likelihood of being games that would make me forget that there were less games on the system than on others.

     Now the Gamecube has this type of game in Super Monkey Ball and Super Smash Bros. Melee but with so much market dilution, they don?t have the same impact as I move onto more games.  So with more games comes a lessening of how much is taken out of each game, and although this problem is more pressing being a reviewer than your standard gamer, the problem exists.

     So that is one reason why library size doesn?t matter, that a game can and should be stretched to full enjoyment, but what are the benefits of a large library?  The answer to that is simple, selection.  With more games comes better coverage of every major and niche genre, allowing there to be games for all tastes.  After the notorious RPG and Fighter shortages of the N64, this concern is valid, but even the N64 had some of both, and good ones at that.  Given time every system will likely have a full spectrum available so the genre gap argument is not stronger that the issues of time constraint mentioned before.  After all, a great game in a bad genre will always be better than a bad game in a great genre.

     A few other issues arise from having a large selection of games.  First off is consumer confusion, with so many games on the shelves it is easy to end up with a mediocre game.  This is caused by the second problem, which is impact on the game companies.  More games mean less sales, and often from a profit standpoint it is better to rush a game out saving money that it would take for the time to fix it especially since those improvements may not even help the game sell better.  Therefore less games means more sales for each game which means the companies can be more encouraged to make the game its best.  So in a way, having more selection decreases the selection of good games to buy.  And considering your time constraints in playing the games it is important to use that time wisely.  I?ll guess the average gamer spends 10-20 hours a week playing games.  If you get a solid 50 hours out of each game you are talking about maybe two games a month that you can play deeply, so why do you need ten or even fifteen games coming each month when only 5 may even be worth considering.  Money also plays a large part in making each game worth it, something that is harder to do with the larger selection without the attention to detail.

     All this leads me to conclude that while having selection of games may be nice, it is even more important to have enjoyable gaming by having a handful of elite titles rather than a barrel of so-so games that have limited enjoyment.  Now if only I had time to play some more Super Monkey Ball, but alas newer games call.  Oh well, they never said being a video games reviewer was easy.

Hey, I also participate in a figure skating forum.

[Grifter]

Hey, I also participate in a figure skating forum.

Please, for the love of God.. will someone throw in a good mock here... I can't believe Bondo mentioned figure skating and nobody even threw in...

"who's a pretty princess Bondo... who's the pretty princess..."  Come on here.  Maybe the "yeah, whatever Sally" comment... anything...

I mean, at least you could say that explains why he likes those flower picking Av's instead of the real mens teams like the Wings.  I mean, wasn't Roy in the figure skating movie... The Cutting Edge that my wife likes so much?

Jesus people, I wasn't even being creative here... Bondo handed you one...

[Bondo]

Indeed, but it seems to have brought you out of your breif posting hiatus.  And to who's a pretty princess, well that is obvious, Sasha Cohen.

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Please welcome to center Ice Miss. R6 Bondo!!

She will be skating to Atretha Franklin's "R-E-S-P-E-C-T"

Commentators:
"Oh yes susan, let me mention that Miss R6 is wearing a custom made spandex suit, fabricated by the one and only Roberto DeCussi. Also, her make-up and hair were done before these games, by L'oreal Paris, who also sponsors her weight loss goals."

Next up is her Triple Sau-cow. And "WHOOPS!" she stumbled on the landing that's a point off Susan.

"now looking at the replay we see that she dug her feminine brown skates to match her beautiful shaven legs, that she caught her edge comming into it, that's too bad susan.

"it sure is Kurt"

Great form on the figue 8 lovey dovey dancing routine.

Let's see what the judges think.

"there she is kissing her coach and her new boyfriend. Ok off to the panels...

Oh no kurt, her olympic dream is shattered...

FUCK YOU EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!

[Destructo]

my earlier post is a classic, i can;t stop laughing.

Fuck you Too.

[Bondo]

Damnit Dest, I did a triple axle, triple salcow combo which is damned hard, that is why I caught the edge on the sal, didn't have enough speed on the rotation.  But you have to admit, my spiral was top notch.

Now it is imperative that we do. What if we did not do things. What would happen. Many things would happen. We just would not be able to do things, that is all. But to figure out what would happen we have to define "do". Websters dictionary defines do as do. Do is a verb! To do. The thrid particble is doing. Many people consider do as a sexual act. For instance,"I will do her." So if we could not do. Then the population would surley decline and we would all be fucked. Then again there would be no war because you would not be able to do war. You cannot do it you cannot fuck war. So what do you do with war? Noting because you cannot do war. Neither could you do RS. This would be a sad world if RS was nonexistent. People would do things except they couldn't because I have just stated that you cannot do things. People may go swimming. Because it is grammatically incorrect to say I am doing swimming. Or I do swimming. You have to say I go swimming I am swimming or something of the sort. So it is logical to draw the conclusion that if one cannot do, then  he can only swim. We would all evolve gills and be happy water creatures swimming around and not doing anything. Because as I stated in the previous paragraph. We cannot "do".

[Bondo]

Because as I stated in the previous paragraph. We cannot "do".

Previous adj. Existing or happening prior to something else.

Considering the definition of previous, I'd think for you to have stated something in the previous paragraph when there is only one is quite impossible.

You guys realize that we have passed 10000 and there is no need to continue with useless posts.  This is no filabuster <sp?>.
