SantaCluaseiskewl, Darc Grimlin Madgrad: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the product of a public school education. Seriously, thanks for the memories of Mario Brothers DC, at least, I think thats what in the hell you were talking aboot... RtR: Aboot? Madgrad: Oh ****! Don't tell me I've caught Canadian again! RtR: This sucks, eh? Even worse than the EVILE plague. Here, have a Molsen Lite and lets go watch the Habs game. Madgrad: NOOOOOOOOOO! BMS: This makes you guys all want a cold brew, eh? Mark: Hey Darky old pal, how's it been?
This is easy. The NES revolutionized gaming during the eighties, and it still holds up against all of the current "next gen" systems. Of course my favorite games were any Miyamoto title on the NES, and my favorite sports game of all time...Mike Tyson's Punchout!(I still enjoy beating Glass Joe's @$$ daily). Oh yeah guys..I almost forgot...I'm 18 in a month.=) -Scott Madgrad: Congrats upon almost reaching adulthood Scott. I agree with you on the NES idea. Atari started the gaming age really, but the NES brought for many of the ideas we see on current consoles. Hail to the king baby! But, I hope you are joking about Punchout.*shudder* The horror, the horror... RtR: BLASPHEMY! Just you wait, once I get my old NES controller fixed I'll hit the SELECT button and knock you out with my super uppercut! BMS: I think I'm going to play the daily hours of Mario All Stars.
Whoa! This letter almost didn't make it because I was attacked by big mean, scary dinosaurs...oops, wet my pants again, that word is just so frightening. It's especially frightening when you call 'em "dinos." In yesterday's letter, I forgot to mention just how cool I thought the title "Dino Crisis" is! I mean, the name just screams "horror." By no means did it make me think it was an educational game for toddlers. Okay, before you all need to be taken to the detox center for sarcasm poisoning, I'll move on to your topic of the day. Right now, I have my eye on Silent Hill (which looks like it's of H.P. Lovecraft sort of scary, wouldn't you agree Madgrad?), Legends of Legaia, Shadow Madness, Final Fantasy VIII (in spite of any criticisms I've made), and Street Fighter Alpha 3 (can never get too much Dan). And yes, I will buy Dino Crisis, because the execution looks great despite the corny concept. Oh, and even though I don't own a N64, I am looking forward to Perfect Dark (and getting my ass kicked by Cory Bond in deathmatches). Infernal Spawn of Hell Madgrad: Dude! Crack a f****** window for God's sake, the stench of yer sarcasm is overpowering me! *cough**hack**rasp* Okay, be tough man, be tough. Okay, I'm better now. I'm sorry, but there has never been a single videogame that really really scared me like H.P. Lovercraft does, and I doubt that one ever will. Most of them are too contrived. I refuse to buy Dino Crisis on the grounds that I have dignity. And due to the fact that the minute I walk up to the cash register with it, there will be a really hot babe there, who will proceed to laugh at me cuz I'm holding a game called "Dino Crisis". I'll be like: "wait! Its a horror game I swear!" And no one wants to see that. And come on Chris, don't waste your money on another Street Fighter game. The series died two years ago, and no one has noticed. The games are bought due to the name alone. Its a pure case of "The Emperor's Clothes". Mark: So what, you don't think I know who H.P Lovecraft is? LIKE A VIKING, ISH! RtR: Whoa there ISH, the Sarcasm BOT can't handle that much stress. Yeah, the "Dino Crisis" name does sound kinda cheesy, but its really not a WHOLE lot worse than, say, "Syphon Filter" which is a bad@$$ game that has been really selling since its release. BMS: Come on Madgrad Street Fighter Alpha 3 is the final installment of the excellent Alpha series. It really has a style of its own.
Hey guys, I think you guys should bring back the tabloids. They were kind of funny and got me interested in your site in the first place. I remember my favorite gaming memories. 1. Beating Super Mario 3 for the first time with my cousin. 2. When I first got Super Mario 3 and the electricity went off right when I started playing. 3. My first time playing Sonic the Hedgehog. BTW: I just noticed that when Sonic turns into Super Sonic his hair looks like Goku's (from Dragonball Z) when he turns into a Super Sayin. Cool huh!!! Neon Funster Madgrad: Well, I never worked on the tabloids, so its up to the other editors to do them. I do remeber my first gaming memory: It was playing Moon Patrol and Battlezone on my Atari 2600. Those were the days. I got into PC gaming much much later, but my first two PC games were Civilization 2 and DOOM 2. Needless to say, I was hooked. And don't make any references to Dragonball Z, those games suck. RtR: Like it sez in my bio, my earliest gaming memories go as far back as 2 or 3, standing on stools in dark, dank, sweatshop-like arcades just to play Battlezone, Tron, Sinistar, and everybody's favorite arcade game/pinball machine hybrid, Baby Pac-Man. BMS: Ah, Moon Patrol, that was the first game I really started to play (around three). I then frequently whined for my parents to take me to Showbiz Pizza or Chuck E. Cheese (or whatever the place is called) and playing until my parents forced me to leave. I was really addicted when I was given a simple pocket game called Monkey Kong and was then given an Nintendo and it was over. Total Addiction. Mre heh heh!!! You may hear about the Presidente scandal in the tabloid soon.
Actually, Generalismo, I did lead one of the initial Pikachu assaults. But you are correct in that you did kill the parasite version. It's all moot, as these are not his first deaths and likely will not be the last. I also guess it doesn't matter as you demoted me to the same rank I already held. As for old game memories, I would have to say the NES, and the original Zelda. My second copy of the games also ended up with a dead battery, so if I wanted to play through I had to do it all at once. I did it once or twice too. I should hope this doesn't happen to my copy of Ocarina of Time, as I would be at it for weeks and probably go mad. Not that it would be the first time. I think that, in general the games were much more fun. I also felt a greater sense of accomplishment that I hadn't felt again until I beat Ocarina of time a couple weeks ago. I think that with all the build up with the newer systems and the technology they have, people are more worried about the glitz than making the games fun. That isn't to say that there aren't some fun games out there now. Epics like Zelda and MGS retain some of the mastery that was apparent all those years ago. They use the technology as an advantage, and not a gimmick. And that is the key to making truly great, fun games again. Captain Daniel Squires Madgrad: Beautiful man, just friggin beautiful. For that speech, I promote you back from Lieutenant to Captain. Oh, and for anyone to get above the rank of Captain, I think that I have come up with a fair process for all to acheive rank. Its simple: Bribe me. Yes send in free games, cash and hot women, and you too could be an illustrious Major or even Colonel, depending on the qulaity and quantity of the bribe. So don't delay, bribe today! RtR: And I thought there was only corruption at the top, apparantly it extends down into the lower ranks as well. Alls I gots to say 'bout that is: WHERE THE F*** IS MY CUT?!? El Presidente Sanchez: Just keep sending me interns. Mark: My reward is the simple pat on the back that Madgrad gives me at the end of the day.
