[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]After just reading Zeke's post, I can say that I know with reasonable confidence how it feels for Charlie Brown to have his socks knocked off over and over and over and over again... :O :smile:


First off, I [iost_uid0][bost_uid0]love[/bost_uid0][/iost_uid0] all the new blurbs on the main page!

Too much to comment on all of it, but I can list some of my favorite scenes:
[quoteost_uid0]Lara: Isn't it about time for some actual background for this Scion thingie?
Ancient Texts: Here lies the last great ruler of Atlantis, Tihocan, who had a Scion thingie. Go to Egypt.
Lara: Well that was helpful; this being the first of a big adventure franchise, this had to wind up in Egypt eventually.
Ancient Texts: Scram already, you're talking to yourself.
Lara: I thought I was talking to you.
Ancient Texts: Considering that I'm ancient and textual, that's worse.
...
Atlanteans: Go to hell, Natla!
Natla: I'm from there, idiots.
Atlanteans: Hmm... Then you will be forced to live the rest of your life in-- Des Moines!
Natla: Nooo![/quoteost_uid0]
[quoteost_uid0]Samurai: AAHH! I/We can't tell whether I'm/we're plural or singular!
...
Lara: Eh, screw China. I've got my peaceful dagger in my peaceful home. What's that? I do believe I hear a peaceful van pulling up with peaceful goons that are beating up my peaceful servant with peaceful baseball bats.... Hmm, screw peace. Pow![/quoteost_uid0]
[quoteost_uid0]Shiva Statue: Hi, I'm sacrilegious. Questions?
Lara: Yeah: do I have to shoot you? It might seem offensive to those of the Hindu faith.
Shiva: Don't worry, you'll offend plenty of Christians in the bonus level. We're equal-opportunity here.
...
Lara: Ah, there's nothing I like better than aimlessly jumping from building to building in hopes of randomly meeting someone with information I can use.[/quoteost_uid0]
Heh, me too.
[quoteost_uid0]Lara: ...Good thing I brought my Capital One card!
Tribesman: What's in your wallet?[/quoteost_uid0]
[quoteost_uid0]Guide: And once again, Miss Croft has asked for the assistance of a guide.
Lara: --one who will die very shortly.
...
Lara: What are you going to do about it, summon ninjas in jeeps?
Guide: Of course not, they all had to cram into one so I can escape in the other.
...
Factoid Box: During the mummification process, ancient Egyptians would pull the brains out through the nose.
Lara: Arggh! Every Egyptian anything mentions that fact!
Factoid Box: Not this game, surprisingly.
Lara: But --
Factoid Box: Cool it, I'm not in the game either.
Lara: But --
Factoid Box: Shh.
...
Hammerhead Shark: Rats.
Lara: Oh, don't you start.[/quoteost_uid0]
The first four [iost_uid0]Tomb Raider[/iost_uid0] fivers were great, especially the second and third ones. The fifth one was pretty dull; I've seen that "Page not found" page more than enough before.


I loved the blurbs for the Mega Man fivers too.
[quoteost_uid0]Cloud Man: Hey! You! Get offa my cloud![/quoteost_uid0]
Now, I [bost_uid0]know[/bost_uid0] I've seen that just recently :suspicious:.....17, was that you? Â

Then Derek's fivers were very funny too.
[quoteost_uid0]Para-Troopa: No, I was too busy playing with my new wings.
Mario: That doesn't make you hard.
Para-Troopa: Maybe not, but I'm still the prettiest.
...
Toad: Sorry, but our princess is in another castle.
Mario: Must... control... fireballs... of... death....[/quoteost_uid0]

[quoteost_uid0]Link: Speaking of bombs, would you mind swallowing a few?
Dodongo: Not at all. (BOOM)
...
Link: The Master sword -- now that's what I'm talking about. What's it made of?
Old Man: Leola root.
Link: Heh. They don't stand a chance.[/quoteost_uid0]
:lol: Great one!
[quoteost_uid0]Link: Alright, Ganon. It is down to you, and it is down to me.[/quoteost_uid0]
I suppose there are worse obscure quotes to recognize, Derek. Very nice disclaimer, too.

I loved this conversation:
[quoteost_uid0]Flying Flemoid: Hi, I'm a one-eyed-one-horned-flying-purple-people-eater.
Chex Guy: No, you're a one-eyed-one-horned-flying-green-flemoid-that-says-"GAK"-when-I-shoot-it.
Flying Flemoid: GAK!
Chex Guy: See what I mean?[/quoteost_uid0]
followed immediately by another great discussion:
[quoteost_uid0]Chex Guy: Hooray! A big bowl of cereal!
Flemoid: Wait a minute, you're a piece of cereal -- you shouldn't be eating cereal.
Chex Guy: Be quiet.
Flemoid: Cannibal!
Chex Guy: That's it. DIE EVIL FLEMOID!
Flemoid: GAK![/quoteost_uid0]
and every time the cereal said
[quoteost_uid0]DIE EVIL FLEMOID![/quoteost_uid0]
:lol:

House of the Dead used to be at the entertainment center at the shopping center, at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the eating area above, from which one could hear and see the screen too easily...so I'm not very fond of it. I'm surprised it offered as much material as it apparently did; obviously, I don't know much about these arcade games. I'd quote the whole fiver here, because it's all hilarious, but that would be overkill.[/colorost_uid0]
