Hello. I feel a subject like this is long overdue, so I'm starting up the Pigeon Army Ultimate Video-Gaming Thread, where you can talk about anything from Xbox, PS2, GameCube, the handhelds, emulators, old consoles, the next generation - you name it, if it's video game related, you can talk about it.
FRAG THEM ALL!
Hilary Duff makes a cameo in The Sims 2: Pets.
*throws up* Get BEYOND GOOD & EVIL. It's so much better.
I'm still broke.
I can wait.
You'd be better off buying it for me, it's not like I ever have money.
Pidgey my man, recently I have been playing Pokemon Crystal and when I caught a Pidgey I named it Bacon in your honor.
I am truly honoured. I must play it, catch a Staryu, and call it Shone.
Oh hot, so it's not like the random Avril/Christina cameos in Superstar.
My kingdom for a $%&#ing Phanphy.
Phanphy? That elephant thing? Go to the Safari Zone, Shone. I'm pretty sure they're always there.
I'm way too early in the game to go to the Safari Zone
I know where to get them, I'm just never there at the right time (because I am not a morning person).
Do you play it on your computer or on a Gameboy? Because if it's on your PC, just press the turbo button for your emulator. Otherwise, can't help you, sorry.
Hope you get your Phanphy, though. For all our sakes.
It's the holidays, baby! Which of course means I'm addicted to The Sims all over again. God, is it any wonder I've never finished a Final Fantasy. I have gotten one Sim up two stars of Fame
whereas her partner sits around home painting or training the cat or churning butter, I really should get her a job, or a love square.
GET BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL. NOW. IT IS MUCH, MUCH BETTER THAN EITHER FINAL FANTASY OR THE SIMS.
I have drooled over it in past. That is about as far as it gets because I never have any money.
At least you've drooled over it. That's enough. FOR NOW.
If you want me to actually play it, you might have to buy it for me
Hm, I'll need to give back the Sims Makin' Magic soon. Woe.
I'm going to push this game now. Buy Beyond Good & Evil. Hunt it down and find it. Old Ubisoft game for PS2, Xbox, Gamecube and PC. You play Jade, a freelance photographer in the fantasy world of Hyllis hired by an underground resistance movement to provide photographic evidence so as to cause an uprising against the evil Alpha Sections leadership in Hyllis. Absolutely spectacular action-adventure game.
My brother is OBSESSED with something called 'We Love Katamari'.. it's a helluva strange game.
My brand new SingStar Rocks kept freezing on me. It seems to consistently freeze in Dakota. If you pause then resume it, it'll keep going again, but then it'll always be behind where you're singing and still getting scored.
*Bumpity bump bump*
*kills old lady in San Andreas*
Hurry up November, I need a PS3.
My fav game at the mo is Hitman: Blood Money.
Woohoo! I finally got my lesbian Sims couple told off by Ms. Crumplebottom for snogging in public!
Bump.
Old school GameBoy found at an old Gulf War barricade that got bombed the hell out of.
It still works.
I have been very slack. Next week, I will start up the game releases again. Can someone please remind me on Friday to do so?
I've had GTA:San Andreas sitting with me in Auckland for 3 weeks!
I wanna go home and shoot some old ladiessss
I have an urge to play PS2. :|
Aha. I had my boy (also Zsofi) over today and we spent most of the time playing Zsofi's brother's Tony Hawk Underground 2.
We played most of the 2 Player modes, and I PWNED him in EVERYTHING. Except Slap. BUT I PWNED HIM IN EVERYTHING ELSE. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Okay, so he'd never played Tony Hawk before, but it was such a nice change, usually I get pwned by Louis, Josh, or Iggi.
Also maybe I had another slight advantage over him in that I was leaning on his arm practically the whole time and it went numb harhar.
Er, Admin? Could you help? The computer I'm on just posted something three times. Can you delete two of them for me?
thats easy PAdude. just go back and edit them to something else or put in another post

No idea :| it got posted in the girl gamers community I'm in on LJ.
w00t for Don't Stop Me Now!
But Gwen Stefani? Her song is the most watered-down pop **** my ears have ever laid eyes on!
I don't think that makes sense, but I don't care.
Gwen Stefani being on a rock SingStar makes even less sense than that sentence did, you're cool.

Anyone a fan of Parappa The Rapper? It's my brother's all time favourite game.
I can't wait for the third Golden Sun game...I'm just extremely disappointed it'll be on DS instead of GBA, I didn't have any intention of getting a DS but now if I want GS3 I have to. :'(
Has anyone played Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories on the GBA? I'm considering asking for it for my birthday cos I've finished my main GBA/C games (Pokemon Sapphire, Pokemon Crystal, Pokemon Trading Card Game - shut up, Golden Sun, Golden Sun: The Lost Age - I've also got some Dragon Ball Z game, Digimon: Battle Spirit, and the first Spyro game, but I'm crap at DBZ, I get up to the last boss in D:BS and die a horrible death and it doesn't save, and Spyro doesn't save properly because it's pirated), but I haven't finished Kingdom Hearts on the PS2 because I am tragically stuck. Would this non-finishing of KH be a problem if I want to play KH: CoM?
Here's the Pigeon Army Press Update for this week.
New releases this week ending 17/2/05-
PS2- Jacked, SEGA Classic Collection, Shadow Of The Colossus, Devil Kings, Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends, We Love Katamari, ATV Offroad Fury 3, Urban Reign, Psychonauts.

Game Of The Week-Because of the quality games out this week, I have two games of the week. The first is Shadow Of The Colossus on PS2. This artistic masterpiece from the people who created Ico follows a young boy who, with the aid of a magic sword and a horse, must kill seven massive Colossus to save the life of a princess. This game looks absolutely massive. RRP: $99.99.
The other Game of the Week is Psychonauts, on PS2 and Xbox. This quirky platformer breaks all the platforming rules as you play as Raz, a young boy with psychic powers who must rescue the minds of his fellow psychics from an kidnapper of brains. This has been critically lauded, and you'd be a fool to miss it, just like you would Colossus. RRP: $89.99.
