Some people in my school actually "celebrated" that day. It was more-or-less in good spirit, though.

I...oh god. That's just sick. Twilight fans just crossed the Moral Event Horizon, as far as I'm concerned. Whining about how much of an emo prick you are and generally irritating the public is one thing, but when you resort to killing and mutilating an innocent animal to prove how much of one you are, you need [tornado fang]ing help.
I for one would be glad to find these people and chemically castrate them. Or would that make us Twiliphobes just as bad as them?

I'm partial to a bit of both, but what I would very much prefer is just a classic bouncy soundtrack without lyrical or orchestral accompaniment. I've always felt the classic games possessed a vibrant, colourful and child-like charm that recent games have not chosen to or succeeded in replicating. I just think they had a lot more, shall I say, personality than the other games.

First draft.
"Zahahahaha! You are weak!"
"I'll show ya weak, ya big galoot!"
Zelgius swung his axe, and Jango ducked underneath the sweeping blade. He struck back with an uppercut, and Zelgius swung a punch right back at him. Jango threw another round of punches against his opponent's armoured chest. Zelgius took these and intercepted with a sudden headbutt.
Jango countered by grabbing his opponent's head and slamming his fist against it, throwing Zelgius's head upwards and causing him to stagger back. Jango took advantage of this to swing a few more punches. Once Zelgius regained his balance, he immediately returned with a few swipes of his axe.
The blade tore through Jango, but for him it was only a flesh wound. He ignored the pain and kept pressing on with his punches. Zelgius stopped him by ramming his hefty shoulder against Jango, knocking him off his feet. He rolled over, crouched down and dived upwards, both fists connecting with Zelgius in succession.
Zelgius grabbed his opponent's arms and easily threw him over his shoulder. Jango's body crashed into a stone pillar, sending it crumbling down in a heap of grey rubble. He very quickly got back to his feet and gave his opponent a grin.
"You're pretty good," he said, wiping a bit of blood from his mouth. In the heat of the battle, with the excitement of the fight and the warriors' urges overcoming them, Jango almost forgot this was supposed to be his enemy. Truth be told, he was enjoying the thrill of the fight and the chance to fight such a strong opponent.
The feeling was mutual. Zelgius, too, though he wouldn't say it - lest he show any sign of weakness - felt the same way about Jango. It seemed both fighters had found in the other challenger the powerful opponent they had sought for so long.
But there would be no more banter now. They had to fight.
Zelgius, now apart from Jango, slammed his axe into the ground. A web of cracks spread outwards, and a crown of jagged rocks burst out from underneath Jango. They threw him into the air, but he managed to regain himself. As he fell to the ground, he smashed the stone spires with his fists and sent a red-hot blaze through the cracks towards Zelgius.
This continued for a brief while - Zelgius would slam the ground and buffet his opponent with rocks and stones, and Jango would either dodge, break or take them and counter the volley with flames of his own. The crew watched from the sideliness helplessly, unable to intervene in this titantic clash.
Eventually, Zelgius decided to switch tactics. He raised his axe again, and Jango put up his guard. But instead of slamming the ground as he usually did, Zelgius barrelled forward. Though he was not very quick overall, when he did get moving, he was like a speeding train: large, heavy and almost impossible to stop without getting run over. The feign had worked to trick his opponent, and he took advantage of this to grab Jango by the throat.
"I have you now, little man."
Jango grunted and tried uselessly to pry the giant's grip off of him. While his captured opponent was struggling, Zelgius jumped onto the pile of rubble left from the broken pillar. He used this to scale up higher, using stones he summoned to leap onto. Finally, when he was high enough above the ground, he stopped. He looked at Jango with his mad eyes and brutal grin and laughed terribly.
"Now I will break you."
Zelgius, with Jango in his arms, leapt. Jango tried all he could to break free, but it was no use; the hold was much too strong. Then they were in mid-air, high above the ground below, and Jango knew what was to come next. In that moment, he felt something he hadn't known since he could care to remember.
Fear.
There was, suspended in the air there and then, genuine fear in his eyes. Zelgius could see it, and he relished it. Time seemed to grind to a halt, though in reality, it was a mere second before they fell. Dread overcame Jango for the first in a very long time, and he knew this was it.
Zelgius, holding tightly onto Jango, let himself drop. He plummeted to the ground, dragging the helpless Jango with him. In one swift motion, they fell down.
Down.
Down.
Crash.
When the dust at last settled, Jango's crew-mates were horrified to see the outcome. The ground surrounded the centre of the arena had been ruptured and torn apart, with huge gashes ripped out and great big points of earth jutting out madly. The entire arena floor looked as though it had been dragged up from the edges, smashed together in the middle and left to fall lamely back in pieces.
Standing at the centre of the tarnished ground was Zelgius, whisps of chalky white dust drifting past his enormous form. With his axe held upright at attention, he stared down in triumph at the body of Jango on the ground.
He was broken. Lifeless. Destroyed.
Dead.
Lucky was the first to respond. He just fell to his knees, mouth agape in horror, as he looked at the lame and broken body of his friend, his mentor. He couldn't believe it. He refused to believe it. Tears began to stream down his face. It wasn't possible. It couldn't be possible.
"Jango!" Amphi screamed his name. "Jango! JANGO!" She cried his name as if hoping it would bring him back up. She was sobbing, and she wasn't the only one. Fey, too, had her face in her hands as she was weeping. Ki'tah couldn't even bear to look at his body, turning her head away and biting her lip tightly. Even Zetti, who found it difficult to display any sort of emotion, had to fight to keep herself from breaking down and crying.
Of all of them, though, Marx was hit the hardest. Even though it had only happened a moment ago, in that very instant he could feel something wrench at his very essence. All he could do was stop and stare numbly at what left of his closest friend in the universe.
"Zahahahahahahaha! Ahahahahahahaha! Hahahahaha!"
Zelgius couldn't help but bellow with laughter at his slain opponent. Though he had enjoyed the fight, he held no remorse for Jango. Those who challenged him were, in his eyes, deserving of their fate.
"Such a pity," he growled through his monstrous grin, "He was quite a challenge, I must say. I'm almost sad that I had to kill him. But then, no matter how well he fought, he was still weak. Weak. Weak! There is no place in this world for weaklings! Only strength matters! If you are not strong, then you will die! Eat or be eaten! Kill or be killed! That is the way of the warrior! Zahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
And while he couldn't hear the laughter, in his own world, Jango was looking into total darkness.
"Zahahahaha! You are weak!"
"I'll show ya weak, ya big galoot!"

I don't quite agree with the notion of his mother assaulting her own son, if that's what you're getting at, but somebody ought to slap some sense into the guy. Going into a major hissy-fit and then posting it on the internet for all to see is just rubbing salt into the wounds, and this Josh guy is only going to tease him further because of it.

"I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
I quite liked Unleashed, but Flash has very valid points. It was far, far from being perfect. It is a very "on-rails" sort of game, and that's not something I'm very fond of.
I would type up a big post about this, but I idiotically assumed you were talking about Rush, so I instead made a big post about that instead.
Still, the main gist of the matter is that Flash is entitled to his opinion just as much as anyone else. Just because his may be stronger and more caustic than yours doesn't mean it isn't valid, nor does it mean you should chew him out because of it. Turian, I have nothing against you personally, and I'm not biased towards Flash either - I don't know either of you very well at all - but I do feel you ought to relax and not be so twitchy around people stating what they didn't like about the game.
Opinions, people. Opinions.

Quote from: Said post.
There are plenty of times when I felt the stage layout was indeed flawed and perhaps broken, and the boost button gimmick has many a time led me flying into an enemy, a wall/pit of spikes or even instant death. I understand the train of logic behind including it - "Sonic is fast, let's make him constantly fast" - but Sonic games are, at their core, a platforming series. When you give the player instant top speed at the press of a button, wherever and whenever you want it, you're opening up a whole new realm of problems: you can retain the platforming sections to appeal to older fans or people who are more interested in a run-jump-run-jump affair, or you can choose to appeal to younger gamers (I am generalising here, but I was quite young when I played this game, so please bear with me) who want speed and excitement to hold their attention. If you choose the former path, you risk alienating people who will feel it's too slow or "boring" without break-neck speed, and if you choose the latter path, you have to heavily edit or omit things like enemies, spikes and pits placed in ways that are almost specifically designed to punish the player for going too fast. As far as I'm concerned, that's almost like letting a child run free in a toy shop to choose what they want, but scolding them if they want to buy too much. Though maybe a better analogy would be that it's like getting a great new car that's billed as being the fastest one on the market and with unrivalled acceleration, but it breaks down if you try to actually reach this top speed regularly.
Anyway, the point is, Rush had some good ideas, but it also had plenty of flaws that seemed to result because of these ideas. It's a double-edged sword, really. You can't please everyone, and perhaps in appealing to a wider audience with the simple pick-up-and-play-boost-at-any-time approach, it alienated another camp of fans who don't like this playing method. The best Sega could hope for is to cut their losses and just take the cynical root of whatever makes the biggest buck the fastest.
Still, the main gist of the matter is that Flash is entitled to his opinion just as much as anyone else. Just because his may be stronger and more caustic than yours doesn't mean it isn't valid, nor does it mean you should chew him out because of it. Turian, I have nothing against you personally, and I'm not biased towards Flash either - I don't know either of you very well at all - but I do feel you ought to relax and not be so twitchy around people stating what they didn't like about the game.

OH GOD YES STAND USER HITLER. That would be insanely awesome. Ridiculous, but awesome. And that's what JoJo is all about.
I think the idea was that Pucci wanted to erase the Joestars to create Dio's "perfect world", but since he was killed before he could finish it properly, it snapped back to a slightly-altered timeline and the Joestars remained.
EDIT: Also, am I too snarky these days?

It's not like the mere presence of milk makes me fatally nauseous. I just can't stand the smell or taste of it, and actually drinking it makes me violently ill. As a kid I couldn't even swallow the stuff, I'd just choke on it and spit it back out again. Probably stems from my dad, who's highly lactose intolerant.
Oddly enough, it's only milk itself that I'm allergic to, and only cow's milk. I'm fine with any other dairy product - cheese, ice-cream, yoghurt, I can eat it. Which is good, because I love all of those things.
Nah, that's precisely why I changed it. To confuse the newbies and people who don't know me.
