Firs post and topic : Final Fantasy and the PC
Arcanz said:
Ohoy there lads, so I was looking throught some old ps1 games and found my old FFIX (Final Fantasy 9 for the ignorant ones)and a sudden urge to play Final Fantasy stepped into my mind alongside Vivi the awesome character from FFIX.
But, seeing as my ps1 is currently dead, buried, dug up, lost, returned, smacked around a little and buried once more. I thought it might be easier to just get them for my pc instead of lurking in the dark corners of ebay to get a new one. In short, my questions are these:

Is the FF available to pc? If yes, then wich ones?
Are they worth playing on the pc? Any changes, graphics, gameplay and so on?
Where can I get them? If they exist..
And last, are there any collector's edition?

oh, and btw. Never played any other than IX and X to be honest. So are the other games different? I mean not in story but in gameplay. Because IX and X was pretty much the same, turn based and so on, if my memory ain't screwing with me.
As a sidenote, yay first post ever on the escapist ^^

My first post:

Good End Boss / Bad End Boss said:
Worst end boss ever has to be the cyber demon at the end of Doom 3. You fight him in a donut-like arena, and he'll never attack you if you just stay on the opposite side of the hole. The way you defeat him? You shoot five imps (which is like the second weakest enemy in the game) which activates your soul cube weapon. You use the soul cube on the cyber demon (it's heat seeking so there's no chance you'll miss, and you get max health once you use it) to hurt him. Do this three times to kill him. Seriously. I fought this boss on the hardest difficulty and I still beat him in less than a minute. Horrible.

Best end boss: Doom 2. Now THIS is how it's done. Doom 3 had you killing 15 imps total... here' there's like a million of them, hanging with hell knights and just about every other fiend you can think off. I mean, seriously, this boss is so cool. It's a freaking picture of a goat shooting out cubes of demons! Who thinks of this stuff? This is how an end boss is done - epic, challenging, intense, total fucking awesome.
It all went downhill from there.

I honestly have no idea how to find out my first post. Can anyone enlighten me?

EDIT: Okay, so it was supposed to be my first post in this forum?

I hate console wars, when people eating around me make noises, that @#!%in pisses me off. Also, pretty much the whole lol, omg, rofl etc. thing in real life. I don't mind it on the internet, but in real-life? That's like saying "I'm gay" at a strip club, and thinking you said "I am laughing at your expensive prices of private sessions.
THAT was my first post. I don't quite understand what I meant with the phrase, but I kind of chuckled at it.

Also, it was the thread "What gets your goat?"

Oh my Gods, this is going wayyyyyyy back. Don't have a go at the spelling and grammar, Grammar Nazis, since I'm simply copying and pasting. I've learned a lot since then.

i know this is completely off topic, but winston churchill had nothing 2 do with the downfall of the dreamcast, it was just an ABSOLUTELY CRAPPY PIECE OF S&1T :s
as for this topic, most people dont really want 2 see sum random woman walkin down the street with her boobs out unless they're a crazy pervert. especially not in a resturant or a hospital (plus, if guys cant walk with their wedding tackle out then y shud women walk around with their great big jiggly things on show?) :D
Yeah, it's a bit embarassing. This was back when I joined last December. By Io, I've come a long way since then, obviously...

"Poll: Stop. Everybody what's that sound?"
20 and I had to turn it off since it hurt my ears. My speaker was up kind of high though.

"Best NPC line ever said" was the topic. I posted:

Most of these are contempory references. What about:

"Use keys to open doors"
The voice from Gauntlet.

What else would you do with keys?

More up to date Im shocked the Sarg from Halo hasnt been quoted more often. His delivery was dynamite. There are too many to choose from but these tickle me:

Ladies like Armor Plating

Sarg: You dead marine?

Marine: No Sir!

S : (Standing next to a tank) Then listen up! Usually the good lord works in mysterious ways, but not today.
This here is 66 tonnes of straight up HE spewing DIVINE intervension.
If GOd is love then you can call me cupid.

M: What about the scarab?

S: Weve all run the simulations, theyre tough but they aint invincible.
Stay with the Master Chief, He'll know what to do.

M: Yes Sir Sargent.

Cortana: Thanks for the tank, he never gets me anything.

S: (Mans a chain gun) Oh I know what the ladies like.

Or what about When they are first going to earth.

Captain Keys: The message just repeats; Regret, Regret... Regret. Any idea what it means?

Sarg: Dear Humanity; We regret being alien Bastards, we regret coming to earth, and we most definately regret that the core blew up our raggedy ass fleet!

Marines: Hoo Rah!

Magic, Im sorry about the length of post...

Hmmmm Monster Hunter, online went off a while back but it was the best nobody I knew had heard of it. Maybe lots have but for me its an unheard of game.

It was in the "good games no one knows of!"
looking back I forgot to add into that post "because the game didnt get any advertising here"

Thread: "Why is it that in horror movies..."

Me: "If you want to count Resident Evil as a horror movie, you have a black male, a hispanic male, and a hispanic female survive the second movie. Of course, the female disappears and both males die in the third movie."

Poll: Is the Modern World Doomed?

there is no "we are doomed...cleansing the evolution chain"
if america gets to involved (when i say america i mean america and england because we follow america like a blind-man to his dog, and i hate that) russia will retaliate and it will will either be nukeclear holocaust or a long drawn out war then a nukeclear holocaust so either way were fucked, the oil is to much for america to resist, i just hope abarma will be a decent precident and say "were staying out of this (optionial) but we will send help to the civilians" and we/england will follow, like the morons we are

I'm glad my spelling and such has improved...drastically.

From the "New Mythological Creatures to Get Behind" thread, my first post evar:

SevenStarSonata said:
jasoncyrus said:
Dragons.

MUCH more interesting than zombies, ghouls, etc.
Dragons are not new. Dragons have been mainstreamized to death already...Eragon, Harry Potter #4, the entire freaking Pern series, hell, even the Shrek movies! I've even read romance novels centered around dragons (much to the disturbation of my mind, but that's okay...)

Not to say that dragons aren't awesome because, lets face it, they TOTALLY are. But they are not a "new mythological creature to get behind".

I say....Murlocs. Mostly because a) I can't think of the name of my most favouritest mythological creature ever right now, given that I am a brain-dead heap of fluff, and b) because I would pay good money to hear people rally together to the sounds of the Murloc cry, Arwlrwlrwlrwl!!

Also, Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftan sings a bitchin' song about 'em. That I can get behind.

This [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.54616?page=4#414336] is my first post on the Escapist, my first post ever on the other hand was when I was 14, on the (then) Shrapnel Games Space Empires IV forum, the Space Empires V wishlist. Immensely long list (as I recall, it was 7 pages long o_O), about half of which had already been suggested and the rest was mostly over-the-top madness.

This is from the thread "The F**k you moments in a game"

"to everyone who mentioned the grenades in Cod:WaW i totally feel your pain. I played on normal and found them infuriating. I cant wait until i try to beat it on veteran :*(

A F**K You moment i have: In Cod WaW when a point blank shotgun blast does not kill someone but a probably non-fatal cut in the arm from a knife always ensures death. Totally ridiculous. Also dealing with knives, when i hear the sound of my knife ripping through some poor guys flesh and i hear the blood flying out but the dude is still alive. I mean, what gives?"

Man, I typed a lot back then.
Mine was the same thread but 2 days later!
How crazy is that?
"The first time you beat Guitar Hero 3 on expert and Through Fire and Flames starts playing over the credits. You just can't believe it's an actual song"
I didn't read the OP either...... (bad penguin)
