Yes indeed, I certainly worded that wrong. Perfectly normal people can love PDZ. After all, I consider Kameo my favorite for the 360, whereas most people tell me its childish garbage and I should be beaten severely for saying such a thing.

I just can't compromise when it comes to the aiming. Something so intregal to an FPS, and it totally turns me off. It might be the fact that I played PDZ first come launch, then slowly moved up, playing CoD2, then King Kong, and Condemned, where in each of those titles the aiming and such seems natural and wonderful.

I really haven't played too much multiplayer, and hopefully once more people on my friends list get one, I can actually play online with some normal people, instead of the jerks. Is it true those DarkOps matches are amazing? I haven't tried them out, just killcount and those other regular modes.

That is saddening.
Hey, i looked on Wikipedia.org for Halo game, and it mentions Mr. Clark, Sir Brilliant, Scorptank, and Soulguard as Fanfic writers, with an explantion of what they do, and links to this very topic, and others.
Cool. I think it is neat.

You won't see a new CHAPTER per se, but I will likely have the Side Story posted sometime this week. I do have a nice winter break coming up, but I've got a lot of things planned so who knows.

Chapter 23 will likely show up early to mid January most likely.

In other news.

For those that own 360's or plan on owning them. Don't buy Perfect Dark Zero. Its like playing the original Perfect Dark. Exactly like playing the original Perfect Dark. The AI are as dumb as they were back then. No improvements control wise, and somehow they managed to take Joanna from being a sexy mature British woman, and explore her past where she's a whiny annoying American girl. Where did she suddenly make the switch from being British to American? I can't say. Accents don't usually appear and disappear the older you get. Younger people traditionally lose accents when moving to other countries, but adults usually keep them around.

Ugh, so far the 360 is underwhelming, though Condemned and King Kong are really cool, if a little short. Right now I've got only Dead or Alive 4 to look forward to, but Itagaki-san and the other boys at Team Ninja are intent on pushing it back slowly week after week.

I wish Ninety-Nine Nights was released. Now there's a next-gen game I can get behind.

Edit: Err, guess I should've phrased that part about Perfect Dark better. I know the game's a prequel to the original title on the N64. So I guess that should read, "When did Joanna make the shift from being American, to suddenly adopting the British persona from the first game?" The Carrington Institute, I can't recall where its stationed, but considering that you travel all over the world in the game, living in the British culture wouldn't be so influencing as to make you develop an accent.

OMG! Plot holes for the win!



I would just like you to know that if someone The lived in the USA moved to british , They would start to have a british accent over time. And i would ahve to agree that the AI is just as stupid as it was for the first game.

Hehe moved to England... or Britain.. they aren't the same thing... anyway.. PDZ looked like a nice distraction before ESIV came out... that game has me wondering whether my girlfriend could stand being second best to a computer game... hehe...

R.I.P "Working Designs"

~ 1986 - 2005 ~

Our Love Will Burn Forever


From Cadash and Exile on the Turbo Grafx-16

To Lunar and Vay on the Sega CD

There was Dragon Force, Magic Knight Rayearth and Shining Wisdom for the Saturn

The glory days arrived on the Playstation: Alundra, Arc the Lad Collection, Lunar Series to completion, Raystorm and RayCrisis brought forth my joy, ThunderForce V and finally Vanguard Bandits.

But now those days are no more, and they shall never return. My heart is cold but deep within me I know that in time I shall come to avenge you.

Your premature death was a black mark on the soul of this industry, and the fiends responsible for it shall be brought justice.

Do not walk down any dark alleys Sony, for I shall be waiting.

You got the 360? Me too. CoD2=Amazing! NFSMW=Cool for a car game! PDZ=Cool but disappointing for one of the 360's best games. Those are the ones I got. I wish i got Quake 4. My moms real strict on buying games. All I want is Halo 3, Quake 4, GR3, Gears Of War(Drools), and Splinter Cell 4. In 2 or 3 months the good games will start to come out. All i need to do is wait till christmas, then the games start rolling in. Moooooooooo! I mean Moohahahahahahah!

Clark, I don't think anyone knows who Working Designs was. Only you (and me after the lengthy history lesson yesterday) know of such an obscure thing, and you've succeeded in confusing everyone.

But for those wondering, Working Designs didn't actually make any of the games Clark has listed. Instead, they were responsible with translating them and bringing them to North America. Back in the day, they were pretty much the only company around that bothered to give half a thought to actually doing a good translation from Japanese to English. Plus they gave cool extras as well.

Unfortunately Sony put up a ton of roadblocks and tried to stop Working Designs from getting the publishing rights to games, which eventually killed them off (at this point of the lecture, Clark's eyes became alight with fire, and he pounded his fist upon a random desk with authority).

So yes, Clark's right, we are all worse off because of this, and we should all feel ashamed for not knowing who they are.

Now now, my brothers, lets not trash our Master's special thread, for it is he who hath brought out our deeper reflective sides, and we shall repay this debt with a patient resolve. Thy pillaging and screaming shall not avail you!

Clark, our master, please give us something so that we may squelch (sp?) these foolish acts and return to the glory of servants we have been so forth unto the day of the last chapter release.

um im back....? nobody even knows who i am i suppose but its good to catch up on mr clarks fanfic i mean, in my opinion soulguards fanfic is a teensy weensy better than scorptanks(not too many people dare to say this kind of thing plz dont hurt my family) here are a few examples:

1. Scorptank's fanfic has a lot more swearing.
2. The Master Chief is a whiny b.i.t.c.h. who can't control his temper.
3. Scorptank killed 200 hundred ships in two paragraphs.( I yelled and kicked my dog when I read that part.)
4. Scorptank made Cortana a dumba$$ when she said,"'I say a fifty-fifty chance that he’s actually encountered enemy ships, or that he’s just stressed. You’re right,' Cortana said. 'You can’t reach the entire fleet in this space, but try to reach as many as you can, tell them to go to emergency situation Alpha 1.'”(I mean come on! She's an A.I. for crying out loud! If the guy was trying getting to get a message through to them, then that should have been a que right?!?!?)
5. ‘Inomee is too honorable. He should have sent some worthless flyboy instead.(I'm a coward.)
6. I hate it when the good guys lose...
An example,"'What’s up, Chief?' James inquired as he slung his weapon across his shoulder.

'We just lost the fleet.' The Master Chief replied in an even voice."(I still sniffle when I read that part...)

You know what I just noticed, cyriacus when spelt syriacus means any animal of the Hyrax species. You know those little mammals that are the closest relative to elephants. It also sounds like that skin disease soriasus or however its spelt.

But it has absolutely no relation to any of those things because its spelled with a C not an S

Saint Cyriacus:

Member of the Roman patrician nobility. Adult convert who gave away his wealth to the poor. Deacon. Ministered to the Christian slaves who worked to build and staff the baths of Diocletian. Legend says that Cyriacus exorcised devils from Diocletian's daughter, Artemisia, who along with her mother, Saint Serena, converted to Christianity, and from Jobias the daughter of Shapur, King of Persia, which led to the conversion of the king's family and household. Tortured and martyred with Saint Largus, Saint Smaragdus, and twenty others whose names have not come down to us during the persecutions of Maximian. One of the Fourteen Holy Helpers.
