assistant: He saved the echo asswipe!
There would'nt be an echo right now if he did'nt re-list it because
no one else was about to do it (also everybody here is talking about n64
and not arcade games, so I'm pretty glad someone will be turning it back
to an ARCADE echo.)

Write your reply.

assistant: I guess he'll throw you out as well.. probably should, never
seen you post something about arcades here. I never saw any moves lists
from you (or anyone else for that matter) in a long while until I posted
those few some days ago.  All you do in this echo is post about nintendo64
(or reply to it which still makes you off topic.)
What I'm also wondering is why you're all in a fit that there's a moderator
here, in the arcade echo?   I think I remember you replying to my vf3 faq
some days ago saying that you did'nt go to arcades. All I can think
is that you want to keep up your little nintendo64 off-topic chats (and
swear while doing it because the moderator in vid_game won't allow you to) ,
and whine that you have to save up money to buy all these games coming out
(or is that just in the vid_game echo, where it should be.)
You see, I can get moves lists from the internet newsgroups and I post
them here to help people out.  If you get kicked off here, I would'nt care
less. If I get a warning for this message I would'nt care less either,
but unless someone else posts moves lists there won't be any arcade echo
anymore.  I'll still have my sources, and you'll probably still whine
about not having any money to buy all the great games coming out.
Ask your mommy to drive you to the arcade once to see what you can
actually discuss in this echo, and leave all that other crap in the
appropriate echos.
... Objection, your Honour! My client is an idiot!

hell of a lot faster then a CD... sure it holds less, but hell the only
reason u could need 600mb storage is if u had a lot of FMV, what does FMV
achieve? Nothing... It's just to make the game look a little snazier... Hell
some of the worst games of all time have the best FMV.
The U64 is a wikid games machine, better then the current Playstation etc.
But the Playstation is not a bad machine, maybe not as powerful, but as long
as good games r released on it, it will be cool... It's not about power, it's
about game play. GAME PLAY. Not graphics or sound, but good old fun.
