Goddam it paranoia, this is the Internet. When you reach the number 9000, you have to use that quote :P. Anyhow, happy posting :).

Technically, I'd have to use it for this post (9,001). Otherwise the quote would be "It's greater than or equal to NINE THOUSAAAAAND!!!!!!!"

Anyway, for the sake of you guys I'll give up my mature high ground for a second :P:

hey, what does the scanner say about his post count?

IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!!

I love editing the source code!

hi im back after i got caught up in some spam posting, and thats a lot of posts hopefully i will be there one day!, over 10000 by the end of the year?

You guys really shouldn't spam for the sake of getting 10,000 posts in this topic, or whatever. It really kills the entire purpose of this topic :/

Right now you have 1337 posts.

Also, I got banned for posting in a topic called 26 users...It was some guy saying there was 26 users on so we should have a party. Apparently I was building onto the flames.

There wasn't one, I told him 26 users was a lot (he was thinking that wasn't much) in the flash forum and asked him what it had to do with flash and I got banned.

Greatest game ever

I just started playing FFVII again (I seem to do it every time I leave a school :/), and I swear, forget MGS - it's the single greatest game ever created by anyone.

Everything about it reeks quality. The setting and soundtrack intermingle perfectly, creating a bleak, unforgiving world to play through. The characters are entertainingly diverse, yet despite having some of the biggest emos in gaming history, they somehow manage to not be annoying. The plot is perfect - you've got a fantastic triangle between your plucky group of terrorists, the cold, cynical corporation with stranglehold on the world, and the pure, unstoppable force of evil in Sephiroph.

Probably the biggest triumph in this game is its timing. It's perfect. More perfect than in any other game, film, book, poem, comedy - anything. Lots of games like to throw all of their concepts at you within five minutes of you sticking them in, incase some reviewer with ADD won't have the patience to get through the first ten hours or so without some big, impressive visuals. Not this game, though.

The first big section of gameplay takes place in a bleak, dystopian city, in eternal blackness due to the plate on which the richer folk live. Instead of ruining that feeling of oppression by showing you the game's full potential, it forces you to play through hour after hour of slum, factory and sewer. The end of this segment feels like a climax in itself, but then the game proper begins. You're shown the full world map for the first time, and having spent so long in the darkness to be able to roam this brightly lit planet is an indescribable feeling of liberation. And then the game plunges you into the true history of the main characters.

The way the story unfolds bit by bit is unbelievably epic. Indescribably epic. This is a game which doesn't even try to appeal to its imaginary audience of idiots - it doesn't shy away from sticking you in an hour long segment of pure story telling, or giving us a plethora of morally ambiguous characters and villains.

If you need final proof of how awesome this game truly is, look at the screenshot below. Look at the ugly, blocky, low-poly models, with their disproportioned limbs and their single-colour clothes. Imagine those ugly things picking up their massive swords out out of thin air, or walking into each other and disappearing when they move to form a group. Now, I guarantee that within ten seconds of gameplay, none of that will matter. The horribleness of those graphics will be a non-issue. If anything, it'll strike you as charming, even a good idea - letting your mind fill in the graphical blanks in a way which no ultra, XBox360GoldenCockEdition MegaProcessor with BigFuckingFins game of today ever could.

It's just that damn good of a game.

If you've got this game, get it out and start playing now. If you've never properly played it, look on eBay and pick yourself up a copy

you did warn me, i was a dick and posted in several spam threads, i have got banned before for the same thing in general. i wouldnt blame you and blam you, i can only blame myself, i dont know why toast blammed you, did you tell a mod about the spam?

:There wasn't one, I told him 26 users was a lot (he was thinking that wasn't much) in the flash forum and asked him what it had to do with flash and I got banned

oh that sucks, no party, you were tring to sort them out, lol you asked what a spam thread had to do, how long ago was that?

Paranoia, can't agree with you more. FF7 is one of the greatest games...EVAR. A normal gamer would see the graphics and stop but once you start to play its just amazing. It has a great story and all the characters are perfect. You have a nice mix of humans and not humans (well, only 2 not humans but still.)

I agree that the game brings on the story perfectly. For most of the game you watch the cutscenes and are just like WTF IS GOING ON. But once they finally explain it, its brilliant. Sure, all games do that, but FF7 does it better than any other game I've seen. Plus the cutscenes themselves have awesome graphics...I would compare the graphics in the FF7 cutscenes to...I dunno, something with really good graphics. Which would even have a person with game ADD playing through all the annoyingly long (although cool and nice to listen to) conversations.

Like I said before I love the variety of characters. I mean cmon, you have an emo, a black dude, a dogish like thing, an astronaut, a ninja, a chick whose the only one left on earth (or so you think), and a badass wearing purple. As different as they are, they all fit together. Thats not saying they all get along in the game, but they all have their own goodness.

What I noticed when playing through the game a month ago (or so) is that there is a strong message about whats happening now, although this might sound kinda lame for anyone who hasn't played the game. In the game they are trying to save the planet because the Mako reactors are using up all the energy right? And if all that energy is used up they wouldn't know what else to do. So they sure for another area to find the energy. What it reminds me up is us and our natural resources. Although this game couldn't really be based on that because the scare about running out of natural resources wasn't around then. We use up all the energy and when we run out, what do we do? We go to the bottom of the ocean, soon enough they'll be searching the moon and other planets for something to use energy.

One of the best things about all the older PSx games is that your not all goody-goody, you are bad guys too. Like in FF7 your blowing up reactors. In the later games you are 100% good and thats just as cool. I think we all wanna be blowing stuff up in our games.

Another reason I love FF7 is because FF7=Nostalgia. I remember watching my brother play that game probably not too long after it came out in 1996 (or 8?). So it brings back a lot of memories hah.

A high post count isn't something you should aspire to. Post count means nothing. The only people who think any higher of you because you have a high post count are people who thinking having a high post count makes people think higher of you.

Yeah, they sound like right assholes! They sound as bad as those volunteers who work in charity shops! Assholes!

Seriously though, any chance they're not being assholes and they just want to get to know you? Sounds like you were the only unfriendly one to me. (no offence).

ah, I get what your saying spammy. its pretty annoying, but then you kinda have to realize there dad probably makes them wear a red dress a night and tells them to bend down and call him susy..

Its true, and what's more, I just saved a bunch of money (15% or more) on my car insurance by switching to geiko!

there's a Visine for that ^_^

99% of players that have that problem wont download it. Like games with confusing controls, many players will opt to not play. Downloading it would also fix the lag, but most players will play the online version only.

As much as it pains me to admit it, I actually liked Aether. The 700 x 700 was a meh choice though, no matter how you justify it with stuff casual gamers could never be bothered by. Hell, I had someone complain about NGR being cut off the other day. It's 460 pixels tall...

There are always things to pick out, but 700 tall is different than 460 tall... I don't see much of a difference between 600x600 and 700x700 other than 600 fits much better onto a 860 screen. I liked the game, the only things that stuck out a lot were the size and the run speed. Not trying to pick at just anything, I think being too tall is an issue that should be realized. I don't know if the size would have a noticeable effect on run speed also...
