[Ursa major]

A seahorse, surely, not a pig, Loopy-Kit.

 

[Erin99]

Seahorse or dolphin at the bottom left. Bottom right is a pig or an anteater.

Loopy is being loopy again.

Oh, actually, now I see 2 dolphins!

 

[Sephiroth]

A little less boring, although I dunno how long I'll keep this one.......

 

[Erin99]

Whoa! What's that thing?

Or, more specifically, which game is that from?

Are you stopping long, Mr. Ultima, or is this a passing Wybren-thread visit?







Oh, and it's better than a blank page.

 

[Sephiroth]

FFVII, of course.

It's someone's impression of Knights of the Round, the most powerful summon......




And it's a Wybren-thread visit, mainly, though I might not log out RIGHT this second.






Oh, Nomad, what am I supposed to view those with, btw?

 

[Lenny]

They look somewhat like Judges from FFXII, but they also don't...

Does that help?

EDIT: Curses. Too slow. At least I got "FF" and "II" right.

 

[Sephiroth]

Heh. Yeah, easy to tell it's FF, innit?





They are they, yes, but they are also it. They are one. And thirteen, IIRC.





[edit] LOL! And 'V' and 'X' are quite close in the alphabet too, Lenny.

 

[Wybren]

OH wow that is very groovy. The big guy at the back makes me think of Sauron

 

[Sephiroth]

Except he's on our side.

 

[Erin99]

Well, Len, considering I (*starts ducking*) have never seen or played a FF game, it doesn't help much.

And he has too many weapons. Boys and their toys.

I might be off soon, too. Cheese on toast is calling... (yeah, I actually hear it in my head: "Eat me... Eeeeeat me.... Eat meeeee!)



And I didn't bother with nomad's links. The site says it doesn't like my cookie settings, so I left it. I can't be bothered to tinker.

 

[Sephiroth]

Well, when you're a summon monster whose sole purpose is to pwn your enemies, there's no such thing as too many weapons.



Thirteen attacks, each dealing maximum damage (well, unless you've somehow got your hands on KoR while you're still on a pretty low level, which is unlikely for most. Heh.). Hence, thirteen weapons.


129,987 HP per use. To be honest, I stopped using it after the initial excitement, it makes it too easy. I beat both the Emerald and Ruby Weapons without it (and without the underwater materia either, for Emerald).


I know, I'm full of it.

 

[Lenny]

Oh, Nomad, what am I supposed to view those with, btw?

And I didn't bother with nomad's links. The site says it doesn't like my cookie settings, so I left it. I can't be bothered to tinker.

The .exe's install the animated wallpapers, I'd imagine (I downloaded one but didn't install).

The .gif's will run in a picture viewer like IrfanView, and maybe even WMP. If not, you can download them and then drag and drop it into your browser window, which will open up a new tab showing the animation.

And they're not bad. You probably answered the question, nomad, but I'm too lazy to go back and look - What did you use to draw/make the animations?

 

[Sephiroth]

Cheers, Lenny.






And that's the thread back on track. We get our tech forum at last, and I start going on about gaming in it.

 

[Lenny]

And how is one supposed to game without technology?

Give me five minutes and I'll sketch out an idea for my custom wallpaper (just to make the post legit and not spam, you know ).

 

[Sephiroth]

Oh no, we can't game without technology, but theoretically one can have technology and not game.


Although why one would want to do that is beyond me.....

 

[Erin99]

Hmmm... perhaps I'll go back and look at them again, once I've changed my cookies, then.

(Wohooo! Sorry, I'm still so excited because I'm posting in the tech section. THE TECH SECTION!)

Yes... easily excitable, I know.


Bolds unknown words:

Thirteen attacks, each dealing maximum damage (well, unless you've somehow got your hands on KoR while you're still on a pretty low level, which is unlikely for most. Heh.). Hence, thirteen weapons.


129,987 HP (I take it this isn't the sauce or Harry Potter ) per use. To be honest, I stopped using it after the initial excitement, it makes it too easy. I beat both the Emerald and Ruby Weapons without it (and without the underwater materia either, for Emerald).

See - a bit pointless for me. Loopy is waaay behind on games.

*feels inadequate and backs away slowly*

 

[Overread]

hmmmmmm Loopy should try FFIX - I think you would like that one!

 

[Sephiroth]

Uh, KoR is just short for Knights of (the) Round, since it's a pain to write it out in full each time.

HP is hit points, which you'll find in a wide variety of games, not just RPGs.....


Emerald Weapon and Ruby Weapon are the most fearsome optional bosses in FFVII, and the underwater materia means you don't have a 20 minute time limit to win the Emerald fight, you can take as long as you like. But you have to equip the materia into one of your materia slots, thus sacrificing something else.

And no, I won't explain 'materia' or 'materia slot', or else we'll be here all night.



I think you'd love the stories and the worlds, Loopy. I dunno if the gameplay is your thing or not, however.

*shrugs*

But you should try!!

 

[Erin99]

Hmm... two of you saying I should try it....

One specifies (FFIX), the other does not...


And yet all of this is not getting my editing done...


(I bet you'll all be wishing I was more like Momo, who plays games...)



And I've just noticed my use of ellipsis... Hmmm...

 

[Sephiroth]

Doesn't specify?! Are you kidding?!!!


Leish, I'm a living advert for Final Fantasy VII, whaddya mean I don't specify?


The other one I'd heartily recommend is FFX, although I think OR's right that you might enjoy IX, too.


But no, I don't wish you were different, or else you wouldn't be you, would you?

And yes, I'm not getting much editing done here either, although I'm about halfway through the line edit now.


Must....log out......NOW!!!



(And I've just noticed your ellipsis is missing an 'L'. Oh look, you've fixed it already. )
