Chrono Compendium Discussion / "The Chrono Compendium Podcast"
« on: September 10, 2008, 11:21:12 pm »
I had an idea today.
A lot of us have been here for years, and some very interesting occurences have happened. Considering people have the tools needed, why don't we do a podcast? Like, a one hour program of a few members discussing Chrono related subjects, or anything in general. We could do it once a month, and post an audio file in the forums for everyone to hear.
Here's what I'm thinking, We have one or two "Hosts", with a few other members on there, switching it up every time. A group call is made on Skype, someone records it via audio ripping program (Audacity or whatever they'd like to use), somene serves as the editor to delete voice lag or silence and wrap it up nice & pretty, and voila. Topics could include Fan projects, theorizing, and world appenings thaat don't even have to be Chrono related.
This isn't anything official, just throwing the idea out there. Thoughts?

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Robo's Theme and Rick Astley.
« on: September 07, 2008, 03:53:13 pm »
I'm sorry but, is it just me or does Robo's Theme sound a heck of a lot like Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up?" I was playing CT earlier today, heard Robo's theme, and then I instantly rmembered the song. Has anyone else noticed?

General Discussion / So, the Dragon Ball movie...
« on: August 30, 2008, 01:36:16 am »
Looks like utter shit.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonball_(film)
1) They've dropped all talking animals.
2) Goku now looks like a whiny futureshirt.
3) Goku, as well as other characters, now go to high school.
I want to cry.
(Onthe plus side, though, Chow-Yung-Fat will be playing the role of Master Roshi.)

General Discussion / Annoying Commercials
« on: August 27, 2008, 09:26:06 am »
We all have a few commercials that just get on our nerves.
For instance, any kind of Automotive advertisement on TV just annoys the heck out of me, to no end. It might just be a local thing, but that voice for car retailer commercials is something I hate to no end.
What about you guys?

« on: July 26, 2008, 01:15:31 am »
"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.

General Discussion / The 6-Word Story thread.
« on: July 23, 2008, 02:45:53 am »EDIT: This isn't so bad I guess...
But are contractions one or two?
~V_Translanka
The key here is to write a story, message, peom, whatever using only 6 words. I'll give a simple example.
Tommy was a boy in Nebraska.
I hope you guys can come up with some good stuff. Here's one.
Love Dies When Vengeance Smiles. Forgive.

General Discussion / Most satisfying moment in a video game.
« on: July 17, 2008, 12:50:05 am »
Have you ever played a game that at one moment made you pump your fists in the air in pride? That gave you a strong sense of accomplishment, and just overall made you feel totally badass?
Here's a few for me:
Completing the original Super Mario Bros. for the first time.
Getting four lines to dissapear at once in Tetris.
Defeating Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts 2.
Finishing Ninja Gaiden (Fuck yeah!)
And many, many others...
What about you?

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / The True Meaning of "Chrono Break"
« on: July 04, 2008, 05:34:20 pm »
Five years ago, Square registered the trademark "Chrono Break", also known as "Chrono Brake" in Japan. After learning of the release of Chrono Trigger DS that's going to take place in Winter, something came to my attention;
What does "Break" Really mean, or allude to?
To start off, let's take a look at the first two games.
Chrono Trigger
In-game meaning: The item used to "revive" Crono on Death Peak by allowing the Crono-less Co. to venture to a time freeze at the Ocean Palace Incident, during which he is replaced by the Crono Clone gained at the Millenial Fair.
Alludes to: A "trigger", when pulled, leads to an epic series of events that transcends time itself.
Chrono Cross
In-game meaning: The long-forgotten Element of the sacred 7th innate, which, when used in a certain order with other innate elements, destorys the Time Devourer and unites thw two seperate dimensions.
Alludes to: Traveling, or Crossing, through Parralel dimensions, the Time-Space continuum, etc.
Keep in mind that the allusions are my opinion.
Now, with that cleared up, What could "Chrono Break" be? Let's take a look at the good ol' dictionary.
When taking a look at the definitions, one would come to the conclusion that it pertains to something "Destroying Time". For now, this is the best plausible answer I can think of. However, the Japanese name "Chrono Brake", intrigues me. Perhaps it's simply a translation difference, but I'm not leaving any stone unturned.
This would show some relation to the act of slowing down Time until it stops compeletely. My only answer to this is an in-game item or force that is used to sow down time, or compeletely stop it. This could either be used by the protagonists as a form of weapon, or be used by the antagonist as a way to destroy time, which seems to be a recurring theme in the series.
Alas, these are only speculations. Only time will tell what the enigmatic "Chrono Break", or "Chrono Brake" means.
I'd love to hear anyone else's speculations.
