[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

It's all grey and rainy and I feel bad again.
No change there, I'm British.

[Retro]

Aaaaaaaaargh.

I've been playing Megaman Battle Network 3 lately on an emulator, since I've recently discovered my GBA is busted (not that I played it much in the last few years, but anyhow). The games are pretty repetitive and boring plot-wise and sidequest-wise and a huge pain in the ass cutscene-wise, but I've always enjoyed the combat. So I figured hey, why not challenge myself to finish all the 'after the end boss' stuff? So I go hunt down all 200 regular chips and beat the main secret area boss. Then I go through all this boss rematch time trial stuff, which was even more painstaking because I had a limited chip folder with which to kill some tough cookies in under twenty or so seconds. I finally beat them all, plus some other side stuff, and see that next on the to-do list is collecting all 85 mega chips. Fine, I already have 70, can't take too long. So I spend an hour or two, check my progress, and see that I've got 81/85. Wicked! Only four more!

So I skim through my list, to see what I'm missing (as most of the mega chips are in sets of four). Oddly, all my sets are complete. A quick check against the full list of megachips and it appears that I actually do have them-- oh wait. The last four are from a boss in MMBN3 White. I'm playing MMBN3 Blue. The boss isn't in my game. If I want them, I have to trade with someone else who has them oh wait I can't because I'm playing on an emulator because my GBA is broken aaaaaaaaaaaa

[dragnar]

Yeah, fun games even if the story stinks, but that extra stuff is ridiculous. Even when you aren't on an emulator.

[Retro]

Yeah. And I would've had to fight every boss all over again in their 'even harder!' mode as well afterwards. Oh well; I think I'll try out MMBN1 again then. I recall it being much more unforgiving. Always liked that 'real' difficulty over the 'not that interesting but look we made it faster!' difficulty the later games had.

[dragnar]

That's actually the only one I haven't played. I'll have to try it out.

[Retro]

I'm finding, it's... a little more dated than I remember. First two levels down. Hopefully it picks up a bit later.

ed- Oh, there's the Nintendo Hard I remember. Grouping enemies that steal my panels with enemies that destroy what's left of them at early stages of the game. Good thing the sequel warmed me up.

[Lumbajak]

I just found out my feet need orthotics.

Either that or get a job that never requires me to stand up, and then have swimming be my only form of excercise.


Not that swimming isn't the best form of excercise regardless.

[Aqizzar]

I know all too well how much life sucks when just walking is a painful chore.  But even curing that aside, don't let a little thing like orthotics get you down.  You're like halfway to being a cyborg.  And that's cool.

Especially considering I'm also Lumberjack Batman.

[Heron TSG]

Half robot, half lumberjack, half batman? What's your other half, Lizardman?!

[Lumbajak]

The last half is Dr. Girlfriend.


By your powers combined I am the deepest voice in the universe.

[Euld]

Your missing the fifth element, heart.  Meh that power sucked anyway.

[ToonyMan]

The Fifth Element stars Bruce Willis and some chick.

[Solifuge]

Contrary to what Captain Planet would tell you, the Fifth Element is "Hot Red-headed Chick".

I get you.
