The video game thread

[teddybear4play]

You would be close to GOD status if you could find a website that has details on what happens to each and every single one of the MK characters after each game...that would be really really off the hook...because I dunno what happens to each one after MK 2.

Most of the online compendiums I've seen, especially for UMK3, have both backstories and future stories of what becomes of them after they defeat Shao Kahn.

I am a bit of an N64/Playstation junkie, and I love RPG (on any format)

My Fav's of the moment are, Anything Final Fantasy, and Zelda.

Any chance you can link me to a couple of them? I just tried looking on google for one and had no luck.

Cibo, try going to daves mk

theres some backstories on some of the games...as for this new one, all i can put together at this point is that Shang Tsung and some new Wizard guy have teamed up to take control of Earth, killing Shao Khan, because he stood in their way, and Liu Kang, because he would always win. So now its up to Raiden and the "mortals" to stop it...here we go again

 

[Cibo]

Ah you kick ass eagle.

 

[Eagle70]

Thats what i'm here for bro. Always glad to help

 

[Cibo]

That Adema music video for MK 5 is pretty bad ass...so is the song.

 

[Liontamr]

Awesome Eagle! Thanks!

I got Age of Mythology and have played it a couple times. It is confusing as fuck. Lots to learn. Pretty cool graphics, though.

 

[Star of Penumbra]

Sicne I can't find out anywhere else, does anyody know where I can find a download of Ragnarok Online?

 

[Liontamr]

New game!!

Went out and picked up NBA 2K3 from a pawn shop.. Apparently the old owner didn't like the game, but I think it kicks ass! I'm gonna play with the franchise mode a little more in depth tonight, but the gameplay is solid.

ALso, in the very near future I might be a game reviewer for an Xbox Live web site.. I've been talking to the site owner since he saw my review of NFL 2K3 on Xbox Addict.com

If anyone is interested in that review, just click here.

LT, love the new Sig line. That desire video kicked massive amounts of ass, as did my own personal hero, Chris Jericho. I cant wait for Anthology to come out.

 

[StrawberryPez]

LT, would you be getting paid for that or is it just for fun?

 

[Liontamr]

I'm countin down to getting Anthology.. Between you and me and anyone else who sees this.. I just may get it before the 12th.. Possibly on Friday if it comes to the music store early enough (It's what happens when your best friend is the owner)

Jericho rocks.. My name is based on his move.. I am *dramatic pause* a Jerichoholic!! Nuff said!

 

[Liontamr]

Just for fun Pezzie.. Although you never know what it could lead too. *shrugs*

Despite the bad typing and spelling, I have wanted to be a journalist since I was in Jr. High.. Wrote in the community paper for the school, took a small course in college..

Maybe some day...

I remember your old av was like a Jericho hockey jearsy or something along those lines...and Jericho was the best back in his heel WCW days, with Ralphus and stuff, that was fuckin great. And the old Liontamer was a hundred times better than this new "boston crab" like one.

That so isnt fair, I wish i could get it early!! thats friggin BOGUS!!!! But some of the songs on there are so awesome...the Los Boriquas music? so fuckin diesel.

I'm a huge Jerichoholic. They need to give him more mic time...his heel promos are just friggin great. I remember marking out hardcore when he came out the first time..when "Jericho" lit up the titantron...i freaked, it was awesome.

 

[StrawberryPez]

That would be great sweetie!!! *hugs* Too bad it's only for Xbox or I would read your reviews a lot.

 

[Liontamr]

I've had Jericho as an Av once or twice

His days in WCW were awesome.. The entire "Conspiracy Theory" angle, mocking Goldberg with his "JPS", the feud he had with Dean Malenko (I hear he has a new job at Harrys Burger's in Tampa.. Go get 'em lil trooper!) .. The Pearl Jam-esqe theme music..

I agree he should be a main eventer.. although I suppose he will be in Survivor Series in that Elimination Chamber match. His promo with Christian on Monday was as funny as hell! (Christian rocks as well btw.. but he needs someone to kind of help him work the mic.. someone to play off of. Like Edge, like Jericho)

Speaking of his debut.. I MISSED IT!!! For weeks I knew full well what that "Countdown To The Millenium" promo was, I planned to be at home watching his debut... And the fuckin power went out that night!! GRRRRR!! I since have the debut on tape, DVD and as a video clip on my computer.. The reaction that Chicago gave when Jericho's name hit the Titantron was.. how you say.. deisel!!

Eh, it's only a day or two early.. Not much of a big deal. But some of those themes, man it's gonna be sweet! I like UT's new one.. The California theme from WM16.. And call me strange, but I mark out over Billy and Chuck's theme.

Anyway.. back to video games

Em.. Once you get a taste of my Xbox, you'll never want anything else eeeeeeeever again!

...

Somehow "taste of my xbox" sounds dirty in an appealing way

So I shouldn't mention that I was actully AT the show where Jericho debuted? My lungs and throat still hurt from screaming so much for Jericho...lol

Nah.. Go ahead and mention it. lol I was more pissed off that night that I couldn't see it as it happened. I didn't care that I wasn't there live, I just wanted to watch it on TV because Jericho being in the WWF was something I had been waiting for months before he made his debut.

Like I said though, I have lots of ways to relive the moment.

Anyway.. Back to video games...

NBA 2K3 is pretty damn cool. I'm not a big time baller but I could get into the sport with this game.

Lets see, NFL 2K3 kicked ass.. NBA 2K3 kicks.. Things are looking good for NHL!

Hello everyone

Just taking quick break from Vice City to stop by and post. Lion, I told you that Sega made some of the best sports games around...now maybe you'll believe me.

 

[Liontamr]

Well currently in the past year they have.. Acclaim still kicks ass when it comes to baseball.. And Madden wasn't that bad a game really I'm sure I would have been just as hooked on it if I had gotten it first before NFL 2K3.

EA has always made great hockey games.. and in all reality 2003 is a great game itself, but if you own 2002 then it's a waste of money because it's no different.

I was seeing some preview shots for All Star Baseball 2004 from Acclaim and it looks even better than 2003.. So Sega may not be able to beat them there.
