I've still got a chunky DS. I got it at the same time the Lite was released for $20 less than a Lite or a regular DS with Mario Kart... and mine came with Mario Kart. :D

[nackhe]

Looking forward to the vinyl release of this so much.

So, my dad just killed a black widow spider. On the dining room table. While we were eating. Tacos.

. . . Pretty scary, huh?

[Jomingo]

You should have let it bite you. I hear that gives you super powers.

[KremKrawl]

Yeah, the ''Super Powers'' of almost dying.

[DKCplayer]

Maybe the spider liked eating tacos.

[Kiddy14]

Tiptup tacos.
With salsa verde, yum!

So, my dad just killed a black widow spider. On the dining room table. While we were eating. Tacos.

Spiders don't scare me that much.

[Rodent]

I hate spiders.

I don't know what to do today... Brawl, Metroid Prime 2, Advance Wars or Diamond...

[Tiptup Jr.]

Spiders don't scare me that much.

But they're spiders that can kill you. Deeeeead. (I think.)

And Rodent, you're so lucky that you can play Brawl. It's like Nintendo can't make a game that you can just freakin' play without having to ship your Wii clear across the country . . . Really ticks me off that some of the systems won't read it. And, I just bought an SD card reader! I really want to show you guys some of my snapshots. Grrrr.

[BlueTronic]

I'm terrified of spiders, but at the same time I kill every one I see.

I don't think the black tarantulas bite, but the brown ones will kill you (Deeeeead)

At least you are physically able to play it. My brother lost Brawl, which I payed good money for. He's just lucky he didn't lose LittleBigPlanet.

[gamer_boy997]

UGH. There's this one guy on the DKC board at GameFAQS who asked what your best time was, and he said HIS was 0:56. I posted that mine was 0:47 with Candy's Save Spot. Guess what, HE DIDN'T BELEIVE ME! And he was saying stuff like, "that's impossible", and "you are NOT 9 minutes better than me", then I rolled my eyes and said that's not even the best time, and I posted the speed demos archive video link, (which is a time of 0:44, by the way), and he just said, "I'm not looking at your stupid videos, now DON'T use save-state or your pocket watch, and play for REAL this time!) I responded with the fact that I used a pocket watch, and I played on the VC not an emulator, and that there's a guide RIGHT THERE ON THE SITE for getting a time of 0:46, and some speed-running tips, because I think he just doesn't know the deep dark secrets to speed-running, and assumes 0:56 is the best time in the world. That was only a few minutes ago, so he hasn't responed yet.

Sorry about that , I'm just angry right now. I don't think he wants to admit defeat or something .

[Tiptup Jr.]

At least you are physically able to play it. My brother lost Brawl, which I payed good money for. He's just lucky he didn't lose LittleBigPlanet.

Ah . . . Apparently, I have lost Brawl. That, Marble Mania, and Super Sluggers are all missing from my Wii game collection. Odd.

[Jomingo]

The black widow robbed you. It happens.

[Rodent]

And Rodent, you're so lucky that you can play Brawl. It's like Nintendo can't make a game that you can just freakin' play without having to ship your Wii clear across the country . . .

I had some great snapshots last time I checked. I'll needa upload them. One has Diddy climbing out of DK's ass. :D

[SmudgeKWOOD]

Why are Alton Brown's lawyers named Itchy and Scratchy? (Google "Good Eats")

[PotoGamer]

Wow, I never thought someone else here watched Good Eats! It's one of my favorite shows. (because I prefer food shows with a lot of science involved)

Itchy & Scratchy? Well, I think that was the name of a cartoon in The Simpsons...

[gamer_boy997]

For some very odd reason, I'm not able to delete any of my posts. I can edit, quote, and report, but I can't delete. Is this happening to anyone else?

YAY, you know!
How did Eldrick "Tiger" Woods get "Tiger" as a nickname? (Google him)

[Rodent]

If someone posts after your post, then you can't delete it. If it's before that, I'm not sure...

[The Guy]

Ding dong Gruntilda's dead...

Or wait a moment!

[DKCplayer]

Itchy & Scratchy? Well, I think that was the name of a cartoon in The Simpsons...

It is. It's a much more violenter version of Tom & Jerry.
Speaking of The Simpsons, if you decrease the speed and pitch of a mouse or rodent (etc) chittering or making noise, it's actually sound clips from earlier episodes from the show. Most mice sounds are a sped up version of one of Bart's prank calls to Moe's Bar.

[gamer_boy997]

I'm a little late on this, but it turns out that two days ago was my 1-year anniversery of being a member on the DKC-Atlas Forum.

[Tiptup Jr.]

Cool! And my cat just pooped on my laptop. I think she was telling me to upgrade.

[Rodent]

I need a new computer bad. Internet Explorer is the only program I can use right now.

[PotoGamer]

I'm getting a new computer, but I'll probably get it next year, just in time for Windows 7 (my laptop is already four years old and the speakers and the headphone plug don't work well ).

Today I watched Citizen Kane, and now I know why it's so good...

[The Guy]

I'm sure it'd be hard to remake that movie. It'd be horrible if they throw stuff in the remake like the things we ussually see in modern movies...

[PotoGamer]

Yes, it's impossible to remake that movie and make it better, Orson Welles really did an amazing job acting, directing, and the whole story about the life of Charles Foster Kane by the different people he knew...all because of his last words.

One thing I'm tired of is the many remakes we see nowadays. Why can't people create something we don't know the ending to?

EDIT: 777th post! Lucky.

[gamer_boy997]

^ No, that's the 776th post, THIS is the 777th post, yay!

[PotoGamer]

Well, mine was the 776th post if you consider the first post to be the reply to the first post, so you made the 777th reply (778th post), and I made the 776th reply (777th post).

[Jomingo]

Well, if you're counting edits, than there are probably well into a thousand.

[Rodent]

No one mentioned edits though. That'd be borderline silly.

One thing I'm tired of is the many remakes we see nowadays. Why can't people create something we don't know the ending to? :roll:

I agree. Cartoon remakes are too common now, and most of them just aren't that good with real actors. That's why they were cartoons.

[Jomingo]

Ah yes, I severely misunderstood. Borderline silly indeed.

[gamer_boy997]

Just throwing this out there, but my Donkey Kong 64 review got accepted on GameFAQS, woohoo!

[Jomingo]

Ah, very nice. Could you provide a link?

[gamer_boy997]

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/n64/review/191702.html

Scroll down to "Full Reviews", then click on the one that says *new*.

[gamer_boy997]

I apologize for the double-post, but I just submitted a review for Donkey Kong Country 2, and I mentioned Swanky in there. After submitting, I went to contribution status, and found this message:

The word "wank" was found in your review text; this may be considered offensive and prevent your review from being posted.

Do they count words inside of words?

[Jomingo]

Breaking the rules and then apologizing doesn't excuse you from breaking the rules.


As for your message, I found that quite funny. Do they not want people to use words like association, or Dick Cheney either?

[gamer_boy997]

W00t! My Donkey Kong Country 2 review got accepted! I don't mean to brag, but the best part: It's at the top of the list, (almost, it's under only 1 review).

EDIT: Here's the link: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/review/588283.html

Just click on the one that says *new* next to it.

[Rodent]

I only skimmed through it but noticed you mixed Extension Pack up with Expansion Pack. Looked pretty good though.

I'm really hanging out for The Conduit and Silent Hill right now.

[Jomingo]

The conduit looks cool, but I also want Excite bots, and Punchout. If only all Wii games were as cheap as the NPC titles!

[Tiptup Jr.]

Oh, man. Even if it is pricey, the new Punch-Out!! is definitely worth every penny. My brother got it with some of his birthday money, but you can't go wrong with renting a game before you buy it if price is an issue.

Spoiler!

And the Donkey Kong fight is EPIC! Always good to see the big ape gettin' some respect.

[Jomingo]

Well, I have heard nothing but good things about Punchout, but I don't have any money...

[gamer_boy997]

I'm really into reviews these days. I just got a Paper Mario 64 review accepted .

Also, thanks for pointing that out Rodent. I thought it was called an extention pak because it "extends the data" .

[Jomingo]

Yeah, I noticed that too and that that it was weird. Expansion Pak it is.


By the way, what is the deal with the Expansion pak for DK64. I haven't played it since 2000, and I thought I remembered it requiring the Expansion Pak to play, is that true? I've seen the game on more than one occasion for sale without the expansion pak, and I hesitated to purchase it because I thought it needed it.

[gamer_boy997]

Yes, you do need the expansion pak, I remember renting Donkey Kong 64 a long time ago, but when I first tried playing it, a message came up saying the expansion pak was required. That ate away 1 or 2 days of my rental , but that's why I put the message at the bottom of my review.

Hopefully everyone will know it means expansion pak. I don't want to make a whole update just to fix the name .

Well, I guess I will once the *new* is gone, I just want to wait until it's a little older for some reason...

[Jomingo]

All this review talk has got me wondering why nobody has mentioned my own reviews posted on DKC Atlas. Does nobody read the main site?

[BlueTronic]

Does nobody read the main site?

Not really, no.

[Jomingo]

I guess I'm the only who checks the main site as often as I do the forum.

Does nobody have comments on our hard work?!?!

[gamer_boy997]

I once visited the site very often, but almost three weeks ago, the updates stopped, and now I don't really have much to look on the site now that I know what's there .

I apologize for not reading your reviews Jomingo, but I looked at your scores .

I might read one of them soon to get a taste of it.
