I thought he bought and beat 56 of them...

Either way, that's retarded.

Learn to type.

Power Fighters wouldn't beat Marvel VS Capcom. At least M VS C was an actual fighting game.

You get two guns, but you only use one really.

If you're hesitating, don't worry. We all had to do it. Even Sano.

Oh yes. The speech will be 5-7 minutes long.

I didn't get the packet though. I just straightup asked her.

I couldn't even tell it was a splice. All 3rd series PokeMon are ugly and I pay no attention to them.

I thought it was a recolor.

Big D. Large U. GRANDE H.

I think that was pretty obvious since they both typed the same way and both were banned at the same time.

Best arcade games? Seriously?

Wow.

I haven't played in a few years, nor do I really want to pick them back up.

Edit: We need Bronic.

Oh dear lord...

I thought Lunchero was pretty well done.

YEAH WELL U SMELL

BATTLE ROYALE!

...

More old AF members, I see.

Who's next? Megababy?

EDIT: Uhf? Uniting? *shivers*

Yes, Xello is very special.

Hello there. We've definitely met before.

If it's just the internet and not the computer, it's gotta be the connection.

... I used to have to deal with that.

._.;

So does the Gamestop closest to me.

I used to see a small bin for used N64 stuff nearby the counter before the Wii and PS3 were released though. It had a sign saying that regardless if they were sold or not, they'd be removed from the store for good soon.

They still have used Gamegear and Gameboy stuff, yes. I got my Mega Man Xtreme at a Gamestop.

I'm thinking about mentioning Pong first, but the space game is the first one apparently.

Also, I knew about Jump Man in Donkey Kong, but I thought it was "Jumper Man".

Especially if it's a long-ish post.

I don't believe she's set a limit yet, but I was supposed to get a packet on how to research and what she's looking for, but whoever copied the packets royally messed up so I'll probably be getting the correct ones tommorow.

My last speech was supposed to be a minimum of 3 minutes, so it's most likely going to have to be either just that or longer. Length doesn't bother me with a topic like this, and I'm not exactly going to go into every knick and cranny of the subject. I'll just be stating the rise and fall of the industry, introduction to familiar icons, and so forth leading up to today.

Basically, imagining the length of the speech, I'll probably just be naming facts and history, go into a little explaination as to why, then move on.

It'd be quite a gem if I found one at a Gamestop. My best shot of getting the game is the flea market, and everytime I ask, they don't have it either. I'm desperately wanting a game that's out of my grasp.

Oh yes, I'm aware to take Wikipedia as a grain of salt, not to mention I'll probably be burned at the stake just for citing it. I'll be needing websites cited off of the Wikiarticles or otherwise googled.

Also, that gave me a good laugh.

Barely.

That article leaves out a few popular game icons. I just searched the whole article for "sonic", and nothing came up. I intend to mention the birth and doom of famous VG characters.

I only fought him once, and that one time I had a struggle. I probably will again, if I fought him again.

I'm telling a speech about in Speech class. I need to compile as much info as I can. Anyone wanting to contribute, please post here along with citations of course, and I'll improve the research. I need as much as I can by Sunday, since we'll be starting on them Monday.

I'll compile as much as I've collected here in the meantime.

What I'll be saying in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Arcade gaming begins with Jukeboxes dating in the 1930s, and Pinball machines in 1954. Computer games were being developed after universities got ahold of computers of their own and game software emerged in the 1950s. Simple programs consisted on games like Tic-Tac-Toe and Tennis with pixelated graphics.

True video games arrived in 1970s. The first video game to date was Spacewar!, created by Steve Russell.

"If I hadn't done it, someone would've done something equally exciting if not better in the next six months. I just happened to get there first."

It was a popular hit in the 1970s. It has undergone several different names since then, such as "Galaxy Game", "Computer Space", and "Space Wars". The game consisted of playing as a space ship shooting another player's ship while avoiding plummeting into the sun. A Honolulu-based company in 1940 called Standard Games branched off into Japan, known as Service Games of Japan (SEGA). They produced coin operated games such as the Periscope after merging with Rosen Enterprises. It was a submarine simulator that became a worldwide hit. In 1972, The Magnavox Oddysey is the first home video game console. It uses white and black pixelated graphics, knobs and switches, and no sound. Since the technology wasn't advanced enough, games came with overlays, cards, chips, and dice. One of the most popular games of the console was "Table Tennis", a basic game that develops with your electronic coordination. The console sold well, but would've sold better if customers weren't confused about the fact that the console didn't have to run on a Magnavox TV. Atari releases Pong in arcades in 1973. In 1974, Home Pong was released. However, Magnavox files a lawsuit against Atari and wins, arguing Table Tennis is the original over Pong. This is the first video game lawsuit in history. Magnavox also continues to win lawsuits over different game companies such as Nintendo, Mattel, and Activision for copyright infringement. In 1976, Steve Jobs creates a single-player Pong game called "Breakout". Midway produces Space Invaders, the first arcade game to involve a high score. In 1977, there's a crash in the market and many game developers go bankrupt. Even then, Atari releases a cartridge based console in 1977 called the VCS, later dubbed the Atari 2600.
A jukebox and repair business named Konami joins the market, as well as Namco who also used to be a machanical rocking horse manufacturer. Space Invaders becomes redistrubuted under Namco as Galaxian in 1978. Later, a colorful improved version known as Galaga one year later. However, Namco stops making military-esc games and looks for a game that appeals to both sexes. Puck-Man is released in Japan, and dubbed Pac-Man in the US to avoid vandalism. It is the most popular arcade machine to date. Nintendo pops into the scene, from making cards, to toys, to electronic games. Nintendo clones Space Invaders and makes "Radar Scope". The game wouldn't sell, and Nintendo was left with 2,000 unsold units in a warehouse. To quickly stay in business and salvage their loss, Shigeru Miyamoto was placed in charge of developing a new game using the unsold units. The result was the 1981 release of Donkey Kong, starring Jumpman. When it came to dubbing names in the states, Jumpman's name was argued over when the landlord of the warehouse, Mario Segale, demanded overdue rent payment. The staff renamed Jumpman "Mario", after he left. Nintendo uses Mario in many games, including the Game & Watch handheld series. The Game & Watch handheld games were liquid crystal display games, a concept that Tiger Handheld games use to this day. In 1982, the market crashes again when little games are bought and retail stores are flooded with games on the shelves.
The Atari ST enters the 16-bit era in 1985. In this same year, the Famicon (Dubbed in the US, NES) is bundled with Super Mario Bros. and becomes a great hit. The Sega Master system is also released. Sega's main market character was Alex Kidd, who was later replaced by Sonic The Hedgehog. Nintendo and SEGA became rivals.
In 1989, Nintendo releases the Gameboy handheld system. SEGA releases the Game Gear, and Atari releases Lynx. SEGA produces the Sega Genesis. In 1991, Sonic The Hedgheog is released on the Sega Genesis and becomes a popular hit. Nintendo works with Sony to create their new console, but depart ways. The SNES is released in 1991 without help from Sony. 1994-1995, The Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation is released. The Playstation becomes the best selling game console, entering the 32-64 bit era. A year later, Nintendo releases the Nintendo 64 with the populat title, Super Mario 64. In 1998, PokeMon becomes popular. The Gameboy Color is released. SEGA releases the Sega Dreamcast. In 2000, the Playstation 2 hits the market. 2001 - The Nintendo Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, and Xbox release. Halo becomes popular, and Sega discontinues the Dreamcast and becomes a 3rd party developer.
2003, The Gameboy Advance SP is released. Nokia creates the N-Gage. 2004 - Halo 2 is released, along with the Nintendo DS, and PSP.
2006, Nintendo DS Lite. PS3 is released, and chaos ensues. Nintendo Wii is released.
2007 - Sony discontinues the 20 GB version of the PS3, and reduces their console price to $499 USD. Halo 3 is released and becomes a wide craze worldwide.

Note: This research was for the purpose of just a grade therefore some of the information displayed may be innaccurate due to rush.

I kinda think so too now, but with my first couple of tries fighting him... that #####er wouldn't die...

And Sigma in X1 is definitely a peace of cake. Sigma in X6 was just about as hard as he was in X2. Maybe easier. It was pathetic.

If I can some it all up in one word?

"DAAAAAAAYYYYYUM..."

If you can get into it, it gets fun...

... but yeah, it's a poor racing game. At least they tried.

As for MMXC, I found X3 to be the hardest of the first 3, and Sigma's difficulty seemed got harder after every game.

... that is, excluding X6.

That is why I left TMMN.

I went back to pick on Machine Man 2, 'cause a few weeks after Abe updated MMM, he still believed he was dead.

But that was it. They're pretty immature and if you point that out, they're in denial. No offense to the AF staff, they're all cool.

Wow. I started a fad. 

Yup.

I'm also the creator of this site.

Pfffffffftttt...

Code Lyoko.

Yeeeeah, I watched it for five seconds, then changed the channel.

Goodbye Zello recolor.

Hello awesome Kirby hat.

Oh Corruption...

 

Har har har.

I have seen all of the first season, I didn't like it. what was up with that kids hair, who did he think he was? Goku, lol?

Goku > Yugi, in just about every aspect. I didn't mind the hair though. It was new and unique to me, so I welcomed it.

All Yugi cosplayers should be shot though.

I didn't care about that, really. It was just the fact that it was a game I could get into, and had a decent storyline.

Battle City was it's peak. After that, they started #####ing the pooch.

EDIT: More YGO ranting I want to add. It should have been:

Duelist Kingdom > Battle City > Save the world, go back in time into Egypt, explain what happened, and end it.

And GX should've STRICTLY been a random duel show to keep the franchise running, but that's just me.

Oh, but GX had to use a storyline, and not just any story. They were going to do the whole thing all over again. Seen it. Yawn. Not to mention I'm done seeing duels with souls ante'd up.

Yu-Gi-Ohs! It's crap anime, FOR BREAKFAST!

I try to defend the show, but 4Kids doesn't help.

GX is loaded though.

We're talking about the show though.

Exactly. I'm expressing how much I don't care for PokeMon anymore.

I stopped watching around the Gold/Silver era and now I've stopped with the whole franchise now.

That's like saying "I didn't know Sonic collected rings".

Mewtwo, anyone?

... well, technically, he didn't talk.

I haven't touched Pokemon since the days of Gold and Silver.

Last time I saw it, was on the bus last thursday where my friend was battling some random kid with Diamond and Pearl. My friend had lv.30ish PokeMon going against lv.70ish PokeMon.

I hollered "You're about to get boned!", and then went back to my business.

Obviously. 

I'm smelling a dead baby joke coming...

... Nope, just dead babies.

BACKFIRE'D.

Damnit Winged, you're a party pooper. 

What Zero recolours?
