It's been brought up recently in the OT stupid question thread that there should be a gaming version. So I just figured I'd make one. Lets get the ball rolling!

So Zelda, she's like a witch or a ghost or something?

Enjoy the thread!

Why do so many game characters have such tiny heads?

DownLikeBCPowder · (08-16-2010, 11:14 PM)

Can anyone tell me something about PSN? I'm wondering, if I play say FF IX with my discs on the Ps3 and save my game, is that save then compatible with the PSN FF IX if I choose later to download it? Also if I transfer the game to PSP, can I also transfer that same save as well?

According to various in-game references, most of the Zeldas have magic powers of some kind. These are especially strong is she possesses the Triforce of Wisdom, but have also been attributed to the Light Force or just Force in general.

Basically, she's a little bit clairvoyant in addition to knowing some powerful magic (strong enough to seal off entrances to other dimensions, sacrifice her own life for another's, manipulate the flow of time or communicate psychically.

Plus, she weighs less than a duck.

Keebler's Law of inverse anatomical proportions.

The smaller head suggests that they have a significantly larger phallus, and thus is a subtle way to suggest that these characters are virile and know how to satisfy a woman.

If the character is female, it suggests that they are dynamite in the sack.

Why are 90% of the main characters in FPS's 3 feet tall?

Why did you have to hold reset then power to save your game on NES?

When I try to play Call of Duty on my computer it doesn't let me join a game, it just lists lots of these "servers" with weird names and numbers. Where are the bars that tell me how good my connection is? And where's voicechat?

Yes.

Here's my question - why the heck is the player character so short in Killzone 2?

How can Mario have so many abilities and interests, but not once have I seen him do plumbing?

Diablohead · (08-16-2010, 11:39 PM)

Was there any reason why japan and the US had to pay a hunters license fee for the dreamcast PSO games while the UK and EU played for free (outside of dialup modem costs to the ISP)?

In regards to Mario is he supposed to be human?

And are him and luigi the only people who can visit the mushroom kingdom? what if the whole game was them tripping out in their apartment imagining it all.

He was pluming in the original Mario Bros. Except instead of using tools, he just killed the problems.

I've always heard it as Sam us.

Gravijah · (08-16-2010, 11:46 PM)

FWIW, Mario is pronounced "Mare-e-oh"

UraMallas · (08-16-2010, 11:46 PM)

Can someone please tell me why in fuck CivIV (or any Civ game) is so addicting? I just played the game for two days for 17:08 hours, beating it and now I've started a new campaign without even being close to burnt out. It's like... there is no stopping it.

- different business model (they wanted money from the user base on a monthly basis)
- they though they could get away with it
- I believe PSO v1 was free everywhere except Japan, PSO v2 was paid everywhere except europe.

Fallout games are good.

Just because you transform names to english doesn't mean it's the correct way.

You got it right on Aran though.

Why doesn't CAVE do games on the PS3? Why can't I have the option to put the camera angle in 3rd person in a FPS game? And how do you side step a attack in Tekken 6? I think I done it once when I saw black Jesus in my dreams.

Like the real life name Aaron or Erin.

Interesting. Haven't played any of the MP games other than a bit of MP1 so I wouldn't know.

They don't know how to pronounce the "A" correctly. Wasn't it the commander who said her last name? You can't get more American general than that.

This probably needs a thread lol

The question I always wonder about...

How the hell do RPG characters carry all the equipment you pick up. Especially JRPGs and the whole 99 of every item mindset.
