Title: Re:xmas lists
Post by: darkphantomime on September 15, 2006, 02:38:55 PM
As for me: I'm not really sure what I want, except for Twilight Princess and Ghost in the SHell DVD's. I don't wanna get a wii or a DS just yet, I'm waiting for the time when the market is literally SATURATED with awesome games.

I find a lot of games today are not that good, and aren't really worth paying attention too.
Title: Re:xmas lists
Post by: Pale Dim on September 15, 2006, 02:40:07 PM
True, but theres a few games I've got my eyes on that are coming out. Hehehe!

Uchiha Sasuke, are you an Athiest or something? And Athiest means, you dont follow Jesus. I ask this because of the "Xmas". Is it too hard to type Christmas? :-* I guess you have your views, and i have mine. Ive repeatedly said what im getting, so im not going to bother typing it again. ;)

Title: Re:xmas lists
Post by: Pale Dim on September 15, 2006, 04:59:34 PM
So, this is a belief in Christmas without a belief in Jesus Christ? His birth, I mean.
Title: Re:xmas lists
Post by: Zelda Veteran on September 15, 2006, 08:11:06 PM
No, you arent listening link104.

Christmas is what we celebrate. Notice Christ, referring to the birth of jesus, which is why we celebrate christmas. However when you put an X over the name, thats when things get athiest like, and yes, thats a more defined term Jack. I put jesus, because the birth of God is not celebrated. Frankly we have no idea where he came from. :-X

Post by: alical on September 16, 2006, 09:53:38 AM
I am probably getting a Creative Zen MP3 player.
i also probably have to get ski clothes as well as a present.

But for my bday I am getting the Wii but that means my bday present will be like 20 days late, oh well, I am also getting cowboy boots!
Title: Re:xmas lists
Post by: LadyNintendo on September 16, 2006, 10:43:13 AM
I do not intend to get a discussion started (or to hurt anyone's feelings), but Christmas isn't really a Christian thing. If I remember correctly, the Romans and lots of other people already celebrated 25/26 dec, but of course it was for their own gods. The way they celebrated was not that different from the way we do now (of course no "elves", reindeers or the hohoho-guy, who is a big Sinterklaas rip-off). It was so popular, the Christians adapted it to their believe. I remember a big article about who/what Jesus actually was, and it stated that it was more likely he was born during summer.

Just to point out Christmas is for everybody.

Darkphantomime, those are sweet games, but if you care really really deeply about a good story, be careful of ToS. The gameplay was awesome, perfect and you will enjoy the game. But the story itself was one of the worst I've ever played/read/watched/heared. Do you have Skies Of Arcadia Legends? I can recommend that one and it should be pretty cheap by now.

I don't really celebrate Christmas anymore, mainly because I don't like getting presents.
Title: Re:xmas lists
Post by: Gamefreak on September 16, 2006, 11:09:56 AM
Everybody, calm down on the religious stuff.

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 3 DS
Final Fantasy 5 Advance
Twilight Princess

Probably some other stuff I can't think of.
Title: Re:xmas lists
Post by: Pale Dim on September 16, 2006, 11:13:22 AM
Good call. I've made a desicion that I may want a Wii. I'm now looking at a game that's going to come out like, in two years, maybe?
Title: Re:xmas lists
Post by: Gamefreak on September 16, 2006, 01:06:50 PM
For the price of one deluxe PS3, you can get a Wii, and a 360.
Title: Re:xmas lists
Post by: alical on September 16, 2006, 01:10:15 PM
So you are getting a Wii AND a PS3?
Title: Re:xmas lists

I plan on buying the PS3 myself when I get a job.

I highly, HIGHLY doubt that anyone on this forum will get a ps3... Simply too freaking expensive it is. Gonna be hard to find too, because of sony's low low production.
Title: Re:xmas lists

I beg the differ, I am, so if they make a kingdom hearts game for it, I can get it.

Calm down? Christmas is to celebrate God's son being born, to use that day merely to give gifts when you don't beleive in god is a mockery.

Thank you gamefreak! Now for some other things that would be a good idea: Paper mario: 1000 doors.

my mind is a total blank of one games I would really want.. I guess I just got fed up with the game industry these days... Games don't seem nearly as fun as they used to.

Well for Christmas I doubt I will get anything to do with games.

My iPod sucks and I smashed my other Mp3 players screen.
Uh I dunno about anything else, clothes makeup that sort of thing.

Guitar Hero is a game for the PS2.  It comes with a Guitar plug in that corresponds with the PS2.  On the guitar there are buttons that are similar to the strings of a guitar.  You have to hit each button that corresponds to the note on the screen.  Here's a couple gameplay videos.

Like every year for Sinterklaas (dutchie-only and Santa is a big Sinterklaas rip-off. ???), Christmas and my birthday, I have only one big wish: Snow. It's getting rarer each year.  :(

Anyway, I wanted to use Christmas to get some games I once wanted, but not for the full price. But instead of a price-drop, they suddenly were just gone. I found two great shops that still sell them, though.
So I'm trying to get my hands on Hunter: The Reckoning and Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer, Alice, a new copy of Little Big Adventure 2 (of all the games I have, why did that one have to get damaged?), Syberia 2, Killer7, Broken Sword and some others.

Alack, gamefreak, it is realy getting rarer, especially in parts of northern europe where it used to be REALLY common. It's affected the climate in quite a way, in both polar circles.

It is also very rare and weird here in PA. This year, there was no snow durng the winter, but it snowed during APRIL! And in vermont, I hear they have to use fake snow just to cover Burke Mountain, just so the poeple could go skiing! It makes me so sad to see one of my favorite states to have to live like that!

by the way, fixed :)
