1. Why couldn't you put the Guidelines in properly? :P

2. How awesome is Mario Galaxy?

3. Favourite food?

NismoR34 - November 29, 2007 05:30 PM (GMT)
Am I less of a Nintendo fanboy because I prefer the Metroid and Zelda games over Mario?

Do you agree that this has been the best year in gaming for quite some time, possibly even beating out 2004's brilliant line-up?

Are you happy that I finally finished Twilight Princess and therefore shut Borg up about it? :P

If a banana walked up to you and said, 'Hey man, this just isn't working', what would you say?

Who's going to win: Janice or Biggins?

Am I the only person that wants a relationship, and as soon as I get one, I don't want one anymore?

Frequent any other forums?

Do you think I should switch toothpaste? I use Euthymol. Too strong.

I wouldn't say anything, it bite him. I love a good banana.

Janice, she has been through it all and is now getting excluded from the group. Biggins is a wolf in sheeps clothing

I know what you mean, when i'm in one I crave more games and want to hang out with my friends more. And when i'm not I want in... it's weird.

A couple but they are so big i'm pretty much invicible anyway. :(

Yes, bubblegum flavoured FTW! :D

Not at all. as long as you have a mtual respect for all of them because they're in my opinion the three bext franchises in gaming. Uh oh.... my inner fanboy is emerging. :P

I'd say so but there is a little doubt, if brawl and gta4 had of been released this year then that would seal the deal completely. Who knows, maybe 2008 will bring us even more AAA titles than 2007. It's sweet being a gamer either way. :D

Shutting borg up seems to be a major accomplishment hey? :P I'm happy but you should've finished it AGES ago though. One good thing to come out of your 360 breaking nismo! :lol:

Out of this world awesome! The true sequel to Mario 64. :)

Pasta, Alfredo specifically.

More Questions!

1. How old are you? Are you still in school, or are you in some form of higher education? Tafe/Uni?

2. What is your current job (if you have one) and what do you want to do in the future? (if you're not doing it now)

3. Have you played The Longest Joruney / Dreamfall? Yep, didnt forget that one :P

That was a good answer actually and in terms of absolute quality gaming experiences in each franchise, I'd absolutely agree with you in that they are the best franchises around. I can't think of a bad Mario, Zelda or Metroid game.

Three words. Mario is missing. A black mark on mario's awesome reputation. :(

A pet dog. Sleep all day. Free food and drink. And lots of other female dogs up for grabs with very little to no effort at all required! :lol:

Who is this Costanza you speak of?

It's an accomplishment because nobody here can get you to shut up about dreamfall! :P

1. Tafe, studying as an apprentice chef.

2. No job, i'm a bum in that regard :lol:

3. No story isn't the main thing I look for in games so i'd probably be wasting my time. Saying that is probably like putting a stake through borg's heart. Sorry. :P

borgster101 - December 4, 2007 02:24 AM (GMT)
You don't know Costanza? Haven't you watched Seinfeld?! :o

Andy - December 5, 2007 08:05 AM (GMT)
I haven't scanned through previous questions, so bear with me if I've repeated any questions.

1. most memorable gaming moment?

2. what would you consider the main landmark moment in gaming over the past four years?

3. As discussed on another site recently: Do you prefer tightly scripted, highly linear experiences... or open "sandbox" games?

1. Watching my older cousin finish super punch out on the snes with all his friends when I was really young. Pretty sure that was the catalyst for me and gaming. A great moment.

2. Nintendo's amazing comeback from the sub-standard gamecube, they have penetrated the market in a massive way, similar to the glorious snes days. Shiggy and his crew never cease to amaze me with what they can pull off.

3. Tough question, hard to say. I really prefer a perfect balance between the two, too much of either can be a real turn off.

1. Are you exicted for the upcoming Wii game No More Heroes? If not, you should be!

2. What about Zack & Wiki? (conceals lead pipe)

3. Are you annoyed that we haven't done another Podcast in a while?

4. Why do you come back to Evo?

5. What's a typical day like for you?

1. Kind of, how censored will the PAL version be though?

2. Hell yeah, it's gonna be pure piratical fun. Now put the pipe down and be a good borg! ;)

3. Well it would be good to have one more regularly but you would run out of things to talk about. Once a month is cool. I miss the comics though. :(

4. Sweet comps. Your actually heard and noticed here. I generally hate forums with tens of thousands of members and millions of posts.

5. Get up at around 8, eat breakfast while browsing online. Go to tafe, get home and game it up, meet up with friends/watch tv/movie/go online... bed. Pretty much the same as a lot of peeps out there I think. :)

Ah yes, it seems the PAL version will be the same as the Japanese version, which means no fountains of blood like the US version, when you kill enemies they explode into a cloud of black pixels, a bit of a shame.

However I don't think you should not get the game merely because the blood isn't in it, mainly because more games like this need to be on the Wii, and the only way that will happen is if people actually buy them! Looks like the course language and sexual content will all be there, just like the Japanese version anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much about the censorship!! :D

1. Power metal - yay or nay?

2. Mohawks on girls - how do you feel?

3. What is your idea of hell, or your own personal hell?

4. What would your own personal heaven be?

5. If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

1. Yay
2. Each to their own but I couldn't deal with it on a daily basis. Say if it was my girlfriend or a good friend.
3. A world without Nintendo. :P That was very lame but oh so true! :D
4. Definitely a cloud city, that would be sooo sweet.
5. The ability to fly, used to be invisibility but hollow man ruined that for me. God that movie sucked eggs.

The female mohawk is excellent!

I still maintain though that a mohawk is only such if it completely impedes any attempt to make it through a revolving door.

Thank god because I have acquired one, minus the head-shaving.

MORE QUESTIONS!

1. Do you know who Neil Gaiman is, and if so, how awesome is he?

2. Boxers or briefs?

3. How do you feel about tattoos?

4. What was your favorite story as a child? Like, your favorite fairy tale.

5. Does classical music really make babies smarter!? I think it's bull...

3. How do you feel about tattoos?

Is this another thing where you reveal a tattoo in the anti-bitch thread? :lol:
Angra's next question: "How do you feel about an adult that wears a diaper?"

1. Actually that could be a real question! In order to save the amount of water being wasted with flushing toilets, would you consider wearing a diaper for the rest of your life?

2. Would you rather be born old & die young? Or the normal way around? (like gradual reduction, you start at 100 and go back to 0 then disappear/explode). People say being a kid is the best time of your life, so why not save the moment?

3. Do you think there should be some sort of auto-censor in videogames that detects how old the gamer is by using some kind of laser & modifies the game accordingly so Jack Thompson will shutup?

4. Can Indiana Jones 4 turn into a turd of a movie? Or will hype surpass beliefs?

5. Would you rather have all the continents in the world joined together like it was once or are you happy with how it is? (minus the wars)

1. :lol: sums up my thoughts on that one.

2. Tough question, it would be to confusing and weird becoming a kid after being an adult and would probably ruin being a kid. Plus being old and reflecting on your life and spending time with family won't be so bad.

3. Lasers lol. Fact is Jack Thompson is a useless lawyer and won't make anything stick, yes he won't shut up and is uber annoying, but he'll never succeed in his pursuits which makes me a happy panda. :)

4. With speilberg and lucas at the helm it is impossible for it to become a turd. Especially because they're not using much cgi at all, old school special effects FTW. :D

5. I gotta say joined together again would be much better. Cool question.

3. As long as it's completely unique, getting barbed wire of something wrapped around ones arm is just stupidily boring. I want one but don't have the guts or money to go through with it atm. :(

4. Peter Pan

5. It's 100% bulldust.
