"Awesome! Dragon Ball Z!"

"This is stupid."

"This is so much better than those old games that came out in the 90's! Those sucked!"

Your turn.

"What's is this game looks like Goku turned to SSJ5 and have a katana. Bulma wear glasses and Piccolo turned into a frog."

"Cell is on the back too, he looks bigger."

"Is just another copy of DBZ, phw."

I'll brick their face if I hear someone saying something like that. :lol:

"ZOMG that Katana kid. Is he Gohan's son? O_O Chrono Trigger and time traveling? Seems like Trunks's sidestory! Do they even make DBZ anymore?"

"Holy cow! Dragonquest OWNED!!!"

"I hope I don't play TETRIS all over again..."

".....*glaring at the old Toriyama style art*" (ROFL mind you, my art is somewhat similar, blending a bit of CLAMP and Yuu Watase style)

"Is this a prequel to Chrono Crusade?"

"I hope they didn't use that one site's retranslation."

To both of those answers, I'd tackle, then beat the shit out of the people who say them.

"Why is Marle complaining about being a princess!? I wanna be a princess then I can do whatever I want!" -From some tragic little girl who has been corrupted by Disney!

"Bah it's just gonna be another stupid guy save princess game!" (after Marle disappears, since let's be serious the fact is unless you where five and suffered from ADD (no offence to anywho does) and thus wasn't paying attention that wasn't really a shocker! or you just didn't talk to anyone!)

"I wanna buy the Hannah Montana game not this stupid trash" - The day I hear something along these line is the day I completely become apathetic to the entire world.

"They changed all the characters names and color schemes! Is Marle supposed to be Chi-chi?"*

*I don't remember exactly how her name was spelled....Goku's wife.....who mysteriously kept her figure perfect after what was it 3 kids or 2...bah that show makes no sense anyway!

"Magus rules, he's so emo" (after seeing his picture) - I will kill anyone who says something along those lines. I like Magus, but not because he's emoish (which when you think about it he isn't). I liked him because he's cold, never speaks of his motives until he has to, (thus not emo since emo's drown themselves in eternal misery and never stop talking about or at least hinting at why they are the way they are!) , is a powerful magic user (My like 100th mention of being a spellcaster lover!), and frankly turned a farmers tool into an awesome ass weapon! (I know the grim reaper has been "using" one, but that was the whole reaping thing so it was mearly a farming tool you see...)
Also I have a personal hatred for emos, whiny ass****s, yes I felt bad for you...when you told me the first time, but by the 95th time I just wish you'd take your own life or get over it! After the 100th time I start my plans for homicide!

"Humans didn't exist with Dinosaurs" OK this isn't annoying, unless you hear it like 100 times for some  ass next to you who thinks your to dumb to know reality from fantasy.

"Lavos is the stupidest villain ever, (________) is so much cooler!" We all know what happens to anyone I hear say something about this! Unless the words "Kefka from Fina Fantasy VI" are inserted here they won't have to worry about the future much longer!

Jeez what an idiot, you think the profiles saying First appeared in FF7 (since mostly FF7 characters appeared) might have been a tip that FF wasn't a rip off.

My least favorite comments when you tell someone their wrong about something that stupid (or in my case telling anyone anything.)
"Are you serious!?" - For some reason that ticks me off, I'm not sure why, maybe since no matter what I say people seem to say that as if it's an answer of some kind (I'll even say yes and they'll be, I know I was just saying! or even  "really I'm shocked!*")
*Me to, up till now I thought you were a lucid, intelligent and sane person.
"No your wrong" -IN using your little FF after KH fluke of your classmate in a sarcastic way

Me-"Kingdom Hearts came out LONG after Final Fantasy Started"
Random Idiot-"No your wrong, it's a ripoff or a Spin-off"
Me-"Gee you have made such a compelling argument, I was so wrong, I completely for got that when I watched my brother play Final Fantasy on the NES when I was between 5-7 (I'm 20 now) that he'd always take brakes to Play Kingdom Hearts due to our frequent Time Traveling to the future!"
RI- "Thank you!"
Me- Procedes to kill random idiot for the Good of Humanity!

Any who if I hear that I will kill someone.....

I'd like to believe children are smarter than that though......Emphases on "I'd like to"

I may have taken that pointlessly to far....

If a kid said that to me, name, phone number, address, shotgun, and he's gone.

Really you'd wait to collect infomation.... I'd kill'em the moment they uttered such blasphemy

 lol, this is starting to remind me of how fans react to the character model for the original Legend of Zelda. They honestly can't accept a Link that isn't blond. Also reminds me of an event in high school where some kid was calling Metroid a ripoff of Halo. I tried to explain that he can't compare those two titles, but before I could explain why, he responds "yes, because there is no comparison! Halo is better!" Dumbshit...

 Now, let's look at some realistic responses. Like, stuff you'd hear while playing a game demo at Walmart...


 boy: What's this game, dad??   hey dad, what about this game??    It looks kinda cool (holds up Chrono Trigger)

 dad: but that game doesn't have Mario on it.

 boy: I wanna get this game.

 dad: let's get something with Mario on it

 boy: but dad, I don't want a game with Mario, I want this one!! this one!

 dad: nah, we're gonna get this one, with Mario on it. see? the title says there's a party, too!

It is the parents fault, really. Parents need to start their chil'un with the basics.  Get them an Atari or if need be an Atari emulator when they are little, then gradually move them up to NES, SMS, SNES, Genesis etc.  Its tough when you start with the games nowadays and try to go 8bit.

Too true. Kids nowadays don't even know how to appreciate some of the amazing graphics of those old games, just because they aren't as "realistic" as today's game.

It is really amazing the level of detail that old video games had, given that they had somewhere around 4 colors to work with and 8x8 (or sometimes 8x16) pixel squares/rectangles to work with. There is an intense beauty in something where such attention has to be taken with every single pixel.

 As cliche'd as it sounds, Super Mario Bros. for NES is really the first game they should ever play. I'd like to say the same about The Legend of Zelda: The Hyrule Fantasy, but the thing is, Link's Awakening may work just as well...   actually, no. DO start them with Hyrule Fantasy, simply cause it's the first Zelda, and it lets them appreciate the additions of Alttp, especially after the original's engine took a hiatus with Zelda 2.   When they have the basics down, pull out some Konami titles like Gradius and Contra. Then, Megaman 2 and 3. Move on to SNES after this.

Worst thing would be some 10 year old kid who thinks he knows everything saying to someone else "You don't want that game, I already tried it. Its like zelda, but like a gazillion times worse. Try this game. Call of Duty 4."

Me: *eye twitch*
Gamestop employee: Oh yeah, it is one of those chinese knock-offs of Phantom Hourglass
Me: *permanent eye twitch, jaw slightly agape for all eternity*

Also, is it just the Gamestop I go to, or are Gamestop employees all over total liars. Because not a single one has ever known anything about a game unless it was an FPS. And they act like they know about other games, even ones they didn't know they had.
Yes, I made the mistake of trusting them on the Lunar game for the DS. I found out the hard way it wasn't a remake of the original.

I tried that game out, and did not like it.
And trust me, there are good Gamestop employees. Namely the ones who used to work at Eb Games stores before those places got bought out. The places that were always Gamestop I've found them to not be that good.
Which reminds me of something terrible I heard them say bout Cross that I can apply to Trigger.
"Woah! Dude(talking to this kid holding game), trust me I am saving you from a disaster! Get that only if you want Final Fantasy but made by a chick tripping on god knows what. What you'd rather try out is..."
I didn't hear all of it, but he was recommending some pretty bad games like Anubis 2 for the Wii, some of those old 360 Burger King games, Spiderman for gameboy, and there was two others I didn't quite catch...

I don't know why but this reminds me of my Chrono cross experience.  It all started when we got our first copy of it.  It kept on freezing on disk two when we would go to certain places.  Then we tried having it cleaned at Best buy.  It didn't work.  We got a new copy from Game Stop.  It didn't have the problem anymore, but it had a different one.  Whenever you would go into a battle it would freeze.  At that point we just decided to get a copy off Ebay along with Final fantasy Chronicles.  We have this copy to date.  So it wasn't a case of an annoying person, it was an annoying game.

Well, Gamestop employees have had so many dicks in their mouths their brain has shaken about, thus giving them the delusion they're gaming experts.

I once asked a man at Gamestop if he had the new Xenosaga. he responed, "Eh. Fina; Fantasy is way better." and then asked him which one, and his genius rebuttle was,

"There's more than one?"

So I live in a good part of Birmingham, AL.  Pretty much all the employees at Gamestop are rude and are generally only moderately (if at all) polite and helpful. 

However, if you go down the road into the rougher part of town (borderline ghetto), the Gamestop employees there are bangarang.  Seriously.  They wear white button ups and nice pants and are actually EAGER to help you.  They act like they want you there and are will informed, they know all the Gamestop policies (they could tell me how much I would get for a Gamecube trade-in without looking).

And they are two of the "thuggish" types who live in the ghetto.

Most likely, anyway.

My wife and I tried to contact corporate to tell someone that the two employees there were awesome.

Well they cracked out games for the previous titles, I'm sure it's only natural they'll milk the third one for all it's worth. My big hope is that it bombs so bad at the movies, it hurts them so bad they fear making any further HSM's.

Seriously though, Disney pisses me off. Most people argue "<insert current Disney superstar> is making more money right now that <insert person or band with more talent>", to which I reply "Dude . . .

actually I'll just say here that, dude, Disney pops out random chicks who become singers and are popular for a short time before falling back into nothingness (i.e Hillary Duff, Miley Cyrus, ect ect). You see, it bugs me because Disney pops out their new stars whom appeal to young girls between 5-14, and then they die out, yet while these stars become popular, bands I enjoy, get guff until the Disney star dies out . . . until they pop out a new one >_>

I still don't get why HSM is so popular.  I saw the first one, it was alright, but nowhere near as good as the advertisements say.  I think I'm just prejudiced against musicals.  There are only like 2 or 3 I actually like.

It's not your prejudiced in this case, HSM is a mundane musical at best. Most of the Music is insipid and boring. Sounds almost all the same. What makes it worse is Disney hyped it like hell! Then had the nerve to make 2 more (Now take the logic that sequels tend to be worse) , not to mention an Ice Show, a stage show, and a reality show! Damn disney should just admit they suck and get this over with! All they do is make lousy pointless sequels, pop stars, and shows that you could put side by side and forget which is which.

Christ, I thought Mamma Mia was better. I don't think a movie should be called a musical if all the the songs sound the same.

Quote from: Wikipedia
Scar is widely regarded to be one of the greatest Disney villains of all time. Scar's role in the story is based on that of King Claudius in Hamlet while his personality is reminiscent of Iago from Othello whilst also bearing some allegorical resemblance to Nazi dictator, Adolf Hitler.
You can't get more bad-ass then Scar.

Yeah Scar ruled, although I also like Hades. By the way, remembering the point of this topic(the worst thing stuff)I was at Gamestop the other day and something similar happened with it. A kid looked at a Chrono Trigger case(they just have the title on them so far)and their first reaction was "What the? Is this another Final Fantasy III? Jesus! They need some more than just the title on their covers." I politely corrected him since I was right next to him, and then his reaction was, "Oh, you mean this is like a sequel to that Dragon Ball stuff?" I corrected him again and he changed his mind entirely to Megaman Starforce: Pegasus?

This kid was really on edge. He could've at least gone Dragon version, but pansy Pegasus?

Yes, Disney had wonderful plots, no sequals, and no popstars (or the then equivalents) in their old movies...

Yes. Damn such crappy shows as House, Bones, Numb3rs, NCIS, Doctor Who, Torchwood, and The Office. Mordern TV shows just can't compare to I Love Lucy, Alf, Blue Thunder, AfterMash, The Dinah Shore Chevy Show, or Dallas.

Wow quite a big dream to hope for. It makes sense, but it may be more difficult then it sounds. What old feel are you talking about for example. Every women in the show is a housewife? Hehehehe just kidding of course but if people try to hard t make something have that "old feel" then there's a good chance they will completely miss the point and everything will turn out bad.

Oh wait, one modern show I do enjoy is Stargate.  But I get the DVDs, not on  TV.

Eh I never really liked Stargate hehehe, it's a matter of taste right? Everyone has diffrent tastes.

I feel there is a lack of true varitiy in TV now-a-days. To much hype towards shows that are following the same formula. Most shows don't even try to be original anymore.

Oh just popped into my head "Seinfield" (did I spell that right) I never liked it, I mean I know it's not really an show thats brandnew but I felt it was a show that was popular for the Sake of have a Popular show, no one was likable at all, it wasn't funny (I had more fun working at a soup kitchen*), I was kinda hopeing that the last episode would have them all die a horrible death. It never made me laugh..ever...and now like 100 shows follow it's example in some way or another. Where is that show that has Heartwarming moments that characters actully learn from without frogetting the lesson the next episode or a show where the characters aren't all heartless assholes (Like Still Standing, if they where a real family I think Child endangerment and neglect would by just a few of the charges they'd face)

Hey does anyone realize this topic is way off what it started as. Hehehehehehe.

Unfortunately the CW is what happens when you get newer people in charge. They're ALL evil, it doesn't matter how old they are.

Anyways, Heroes is at least halfway decent...Season 2 kind of put me off because it was kind of bleh, but I'm willing to assume that was mostly due to effects of the writer's strike and will give it another chance with Season 3: Villains. Lost never really interested me especially now that I hear it's insanely convoluted.

One of my fav new shows is Life, which is actually well written and acted. It reminds me of Veronica Mars in structure because it has an underlying story that continues while episodic storylines occur (& sometimes fit into the overall story). Certainly the best cop-based show on.

Absolutely true.  Season Two was sort of lame... Except for Kinsei.  And the ending was so... anti-climatic.  I've heard people say the same thing about Season One, but I thought Season One's ending was fine.  Let's hope that Season Two only sucked because of the writing strike (my belief).

As for Lost, it's one of those shows that you can't jump into.  You have to start at Episode One or it won't make sense at all.  You pretty much can't miss and episode.  But the story is great, the writing is usually top-notch.  It's such a great show if you put the time into it.

Wanna here something funny, I was just think that earlier. I was reading from a website  called TV tropes and Idioms and I found this

Quote from: TV TROPES Americanitis page
And the cerebral BBC four-part TV miniseries Eleventh Hour (UK, 2006), with Patrick Stewart as government scientist Professor Ian Hood, gets an American remake, too, due out in 2008. To judge by the available plot summaries and casting, they seem to have dumbed down the science to make space for action, removed every topic considered "controversial" in the USA (like global climate change) and apparently added a love story between the professor and his female bodyguard (who was played by Ashley Jensen in the UK version). Certainly the actor they cast for the scientist's role (Rufus Sewell of Dark City fame, as the protagonist Jacob Hood) is younger and "hotter" to draw female target viewers. (Disclaimer: this [1] editor does not consider Patrick Stewart old and ugly, quite the contrary.)
Compare the IMDB plot outline for the US remake ("A government scientist and his attractive counterpart try to save people from deadly scientific experiments.") with the plot outline for the UK version ("Eleventh Hour is a new TV series which stars Patrick Stewart as a scientist who works for the Home Office"). Just saying...

Um except is a spin-off of Docter Who that is British. We were refering to takeing a British show and remaking it in America....and Torchwood had it Good moments. (Never as good as Docter Who...or even Sarah Jane Smith's show. It got more interesting as it went along....except for a few epiosdes...I don't like the season finale all that much, mostly becaused they killed off my fav person...and the episodes made about as much sense as a lucid, sane person trying to flap there arms to fly.
