Imladil Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Hello, nice humans! How are you all doing? I guess I haven't visited here in about, say, a year. So where do I tie up my unfortunately flatulent tauntaun?
Lynk Former Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 heya ImlaZoomdilRabbit..................................
Cmdr. Cracken Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Welcome back ^_^ 'bout time you show your mug in my neck of the woods.
The Master Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 ....Imladil? Is that really you? I thought you were killed by those killer puke balls from Yoda or worse. . . Been a long time since I've seen you around. Then again it's been a long time since I've seen myself around. Oop, hey there's an arm!
Rogue Nine Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Dude, you've got no posts! You came to XWA first. We feel all special and snuggly inside.
Wraith 8 Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 heya Imladil...... welcome back and .... and.... THE MASTER HAS AN AVATAR????? OMG!!!!!
Imladil Posted April 22, 2003 Author Posted April 22, 2003 Naw, that isn't an avatar. It's a vanity license plate... No posts?!? Bad, bad Lucasforums computer! Everyone knows that I really have more posts than the post office. This machine simply doesn't know who its daddy is yet. So, anyway. Now that I'm here, I had a question I wanted to ask youse guys. I'm thinking of getting a gamecube, so I can try Rogue Leader. Is the game worth the investment, or would I be disappointed?
Wraith 8 Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 well according to Lynky Wynky.... its AWESOME... ofcourse he is playing metroid prime i belive at this moment.. so he wont play that game very much lately:p
Rogue15 Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 NO!!!!! GET XBOX, CLONE WARS, MECH ASSAULT, A CABLE CONNECTION AND THEN XBOX LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well, get the gamecube, rogue squadron 3 is supposed to be VERY good....well it looks that way.
Cmdr. Cracken Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 i have wanted to get a GC and Rogue Leader, but i haven't had the monetary units to toss into such a thing. or a printing press. either way, i'm poor. i would. you could rent the GC and Rogue Leader and see if you wanna throw down the money.
LukA_YJK Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 What a... Imladil, how are you, old Rogue? Hey, The Master are you really here! Glad to see you alive I just saw The Rogue Squadron III preview images. They look interesting, but seems I'll be able to try the II and III after half of a century
The Master Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 Yeah I haven't played II yet. Still waiting to get a bit of excess money so I can buy it. I have the gamecube and all, but no matter, not like I'll die if I don't have it. . . . . . . Okay, maybe this is the wrong place to say that. Well, I was one of the first to get the original so there's the makeup. And now I am in the midst of my merry babble and once it gets going it's hypnotizing affects will take over all of your simple primitive minds and you shall be under my control for all the rest of eternity. . . sorry. Another ego babble burst. Well, I'm just glad to see some people from the past are able to get together in this one last ditch effort. . . I mean thread. Missed ya all!

edlib Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 Originally posted by Imladil So, anyway. Now that I'm here, I had a question I wanted to ask youse guys. I'm thinking of getting a gamecube, so I can try Rogue Leader. Is the game worth the investment, or would I be disappointed? Get it! I have one. I likes it. Now that Gamecube is cheaper than when I bought it ( ), and many of the first generation of GC games are being marked down, I think it's a good investment. Rogue Leader rocks,.. and so do a few of the other GC titles. Metroid Prime is amazing, although I don't own it yet. Jedi Knight 2 is coming out for GC, so if you haven't played that yet get that too.
swphreak Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 Yes get it. Don't listen to the other people who say XBox or PS2 is better with their technical Mumbojumbo. The Gamecube is a good quality system. It may have a few games, but they have more coming. Plus, they're good games compared to the hundreds of crappy games for the other systems. Also, they're coming out with RS3 now. It WILL be worth it.
ZBomber Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 15, Clone Wars is on GCN too. If you get Gamecube, pick up Super Smash Bros Melee, also.
The Master Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 Not a bad system at all. But I like PS2s RPGs much better. Gamecube is good in other areas.

Xbox has more features than both consoles combined. So you have no reason to say it sucks, hell, you probably haven't even played one and are just listening to ****ing fanboys ****ing through their mouth....go to http://xbox.ign.com sometime and tell me how many crappy games the xbox has compared to [enter console here] . now that that is done and said.... DO RESEARCH ON GAMES FOR EACH CONSOLE BEFORE BUYING especially games that are coming out in the future. I'm not trying to say not to get a gamecube, because everybody's opinion differs, obviously. Don't listen to the other people now that's just ignorant!
edlib Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 They're all nice. [old man voice]Listen... back in my day, you had your choice between the Atari 2600 or the Intellivision or the Colecovision.[/old man voice] A lot of fights over which one was best... But lets face it, in comparison to today's machines they all sucked! They were cool for the time, but you kids don't know how lucky you are to have the choices you have now. If somebody had an Xbox, PS2, or a Cube back then he would have been king of the world. If I really wanted to I could get one of each system,.. I just couldn't afford to get all the games then,.. and I certainly don't have time to play them all to make it even worth it. If you have to have the online ability,.. get the Xbox. If you want the best selection of games,.. get the PS2. If you want the smallest, cheapest system with a couple of really great games,.. get the Cube. Or save your pennies and get more than one.
Rogue Nine Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 Personally I think that the Xbox is a little too much. I grew up with the SNES and the Genesis as my video game entertainment. For me, consoles are one thing and computers are another. The Xbox is trying to combine both. What comes out is an amalgam of the two that is kind of awkward, and a little weird. Sure, all of those features are nice and everything, but some people don't care about that. Most people I know don't. They're perfectly content with their PS2 or GameCube. Heck, I know a bunch of people that are still dedicated to their PSXs. I'm not dissing the Xbox or touting the GameCube and PS2. I'm just saying that people look for different things in consoles. I think someone would rather have a GameCube to play console games on and a PC to download and play LAN games and whatnot, rather than have a console that tries to integrate the two. There are just some things that consoles have that PCs don't and vice versa. Thus, a pure console would be good enough for me. Poo on online capabilities, music burning and all that unecessary jazz. If I want those, I'll hop on my computer.
Cmdr. Cracken Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 i believe i originally intended to get a PS2 for MSG2 and FFX, both of which i have yet to finish. I have not been dissapointed with the current games. SHinobi, Zone of the Enders:The Second Runner, and Robotech: Battlecry have made the purchase all worth while. and Soul Calibur 2 will be in my hands, where i can perfect my Nightmare Game from the comfort of my chair. ^_^
Imladil Posted April 24, 2003 Author Posted April 24, 2003 Holy, crumbnuts! There's an RS III coming out? I haven't even done number two yet...! I went to the Toys R Us on my break today, and they happened to have Rogue Leader on for trial. I tried it, and I can't wait to get one of my own. Yes, I have been watching the prices come down--I'm the guy who refused to pay more than $100 for an N64, and I'm setting the line at $125 this time. Right now, they're $150 where I tried one today, so I don't have long to wait. Thanks for the advice. Wally the space dolphin says that the SARS virus is actually a Rigellian Rhino-virus that he picked up while interviewing contestants for the miss space cetacean pageant on Rigel IV, and that the cure for this annoying disease is to rub oneself from head to fluke in subgalactic whale oil then tan in the light of a blue giant star while drinking ten gallons of Romulan ale. Old man's note: Do you snivelling punks know what they had when I was a kid? Do ya, huh? PONG. 'Nuff said.
