Who knew again?

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I never really thought it held up as well as S. Morganstern's original.

While it was certainly novel for its tie, the context is lost on a modern audience and I don't think we can properly appreciate it anymore.
Goldman has stripped away the topical excesses and really delivered the heart of the tale. It is a different adaptation but one more suited for the audiences who will read it.

Update:
No explanations! All ranking all the time:

Shit I’m not Ranking:
Fifth- Wind done gone- haven’t read it and only really know of it in conjuction with copyright dramas.
Seil-Princess Bride- Not count

Rejected Again- X3
Blues- Dracula Dead and Loving it
Masked Jedi- Superman Returns
Overcast- Young Frankenstein
Hawk-Fallout 3
Archbio- Aliens
Krogothwolf- Star Trek 2 Wrath of Khan
ApeBoy- SuperMario RPG
Si Civa- Empire Strikes Back

SiCiva wins!

[Si Civa]

Somehow I think that pulling Empire strikes back was just too easy.

But yeah, gimme me job that I would like to have so I don't need to get haircut. Basically, what my dream job would be.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Rainbow technician. It involves riding unicorns across rainbows to fix them.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

dream job

A technican at the Firearms and Ice Cream Testing Facility.

[krogothwolf]

Roadie mwuahahaha

[The Wandering God]

Film critic.

Get paid to watch movies and tell others what you think.

The Wandering God

[Overcast]

Owner of several vacation resorts.

Head to a paradise of your choice whenever you want. Get paid to do just about nothing save for getting qualified individuals to run them. If you get tired of paradise you can head back to the real world still getting paid by foolish tourists. What's not to love?

[Rejected Again]

Porn star, Get paid to get laid. Best job ever.

[Fifthfiend]

A technican at the Firearms and Ice Cream Blowjobs Testing Facility.

Hawk sissied out so I am making the correct answer my answer.

[POS Industries]

The Mighty Thor.

[Zilla]

Rock God. (http://content2.myyearbook.com/zenhex/images/quiz31/151418/151418_res5_Toki.jpg)

[42PETUNIAS]

Video game developer

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Hawk sissied out so I am making the correct answer my answer.

Surely that's a dangerous combination. Occupational safety requirements would be an absolute nightmare.
The job would be all redtape.

[bluestarultor]

Official Video Game Player for your company of choice.

Note that this isn't a video game tester, since that kinda sucks and is actually work. I'm talking, like, you play the games in full and get paid to do it, and have the option to become the face of the company if you choose at any time to take up on one or more commercial deals.

[Fifthfiend]

The job would be all redtape.

It's in Texas. They burned the tape plant down and shot the owners.

[Si Civa]

Rock God. (http://content2.myyearbook.com/zenhex/images/quiz31/151418/151418_res5_Toki.jpg)

I have to ask that what does this one means, because I'm not similiar at all with that character, so I don't get the reference.

Or does it just mean that rock god is worshipped as one of the best musicians ever kinda of stuff and the picture is just additional bonus?

[Archbio]

I'm very suprised that nobody has suggested astronaut or the president of USA

Moon Empress/Emperor is a job that combines both, but with less paperwork.

[Krylo]

God.

[POS Industries]

That and you totally have to get a haircut if you want to be President.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

God.

6 day weeks...

[Si Civa]

The sad thing about all these answer is that all of them are probably far more enjoyable than what I'm going to do in future.

13. Hawk-technican at the Firearms and Ice Cream Testing Facility- Nah, while I like ice cream, I'm not interested at all about guns. And it's testing, which could mean that they shoot ice cream to see if their gun has enough power.
12. Fifthfiend-technican at the Firearms and Blowjobs Testing Facility- Same as above, but blowjob>ice cream. It would also mean that they would shoot all the hos there after the blowjobbing.
11. Overcast-Owner of several vacation resorts- While fooling tourists would be amazingly sweet, it's not actual work. I would rather steal them without lying about its nature, as dream job means job that you would enjoy doing for me, it's not all about the money.
10. bluestarultor-Official Video Game Player- I would probably get bored after day or such, 'cause there's so much more interesting things in life than playing video games.
9. Rejected Again-Porn star- I really wouldn't like to meet idiots from streets who will say that hey, let's compare our penises. If you had suggested a a freelancer whore (you select who you fuck), however, you would probably won. You get paid that you fuck with people, there's probably less plastic boobies and fake orgasms there, and you can smirk when you see that lady with her husband.
8. POS Industries-The Mighty Thor- It's rather what your being is than work, and I would be comic book character. The real Thor would have ruled more, as now I would be beaten by Wolverine.
7. Archbio-Moon Empress/Emperor- I really don't have any interest at all to be ruler (of nothing but stone it being Moon). This, however, would have ranked over president of USA and astronaut, if it makes you feel better.
6. The Wandering God-Film critic- Good job in a way, but sad part is that this would mean that I would also need to watch complete crap. But also fantastic films. Heck, chances that I'm getting paid while watching some old comedies are enough for me.
5. 42PETUNIAS-Video game developer- Suggesting ideas, being in the story department would be actually kinda cool.
4. krogothwolf-Roadie- I would be like "fuck those rich bastards, I will pee on their instruments" all the time while listenning good music in concerts for free. And I would get paid.
3. Smarty McBarrelpants-Rainbow technician- This was basically the dream job, but it aint winner. Because it lacks dragons.
2. Krylo-God- Again, more of what you are than about job, but it's an actually god this time, and well, controlling everything would be interesting. Needing PR work in the form of Jesus because of the old testament would be embarrassing. Being non-believer would also make things interesting, I would imagine.
1. Zilla-Rock god- My artist name would be Pink and I would rip everything from the Beatles. Also doing drugs, sex and rock 'n roll would be also neat, so hell yeah.

[Overcast]

Heh I am a bit of a bastard in that if I could be paid for nothing so that I am essentially being paid for doing whatever the hell I want I could find great pleasure. Lazy as I am the less I need to pay attention to anything beyond the simple pleasures the happier I become.

[Si Civa]

My very, very mature hatred towards to capitalism also lowered it, as it's nearly a perfect example what is kinda wrong about that system.

But really, everything about that round was nice except that I had to choose which answer was the best.

[Overcast]

Heh I am no huge fan of Capitalism either, but as long as I am under it I am entirely willing to manipulate the system. I tend to be just a little evil and greedy because I like myself more than I hate the world.

But in the fear someone is gonna call me on a bit of jacking I shall shut my mouth now.

[Zilla]

I have to ask that what does this one means, because I'm not similiar at all with that character, so I don't get the reference.

If the bolded was unintentional, that is hilariously ironic because that character talks that way. He would literally say exactly that, and I'm pretty sure he has said something almost exactly like that. "What does this one means?"

But I won for a change! Instead of second, or fifth in some cases!

I had some really good questions, give me a bit to remember them. I wanted to win this game for a while...

Edit: Most emotional moment in a video game, go!

And this doesn't have to be a negative emotion like crying. Any strong emotion works too (anger, frustration, etc.)

[krogothwolf]

The Opera scene in FF6 involving Celes

Edit: Whelp, since she's never played FF games how about the Zelda: Twilight princess in the water temple where Zant turns link into a Wolf, steals crystals then nearly kills Medina?

[Rejected Again]

Edit: Changed answer based on Zilla's post below!
The ending of CoD Modern warfair.

[Zilla]

I should say right now that I have never played a Final Fantasy game.

[krogothwolf]

I hope you've at least played Zelda Twilight princess lol

[42PETUNIAS]

Any Zelda game where a motherfucking Like Like eats your goddamn shield.

[The Wandering God]

If you didn't have some emotional reaction to Still Alive (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAnfG3KfPB0&feature=related) I don't know what to say.

The Wandering God

[Overcast]

BioShock when you finally meet Andrew Ryan face to face (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bncxTilQKAs). A man chooses. A slave obeys.

[Zilla]

Any Zelda game where a motherfucking Like Like eats your goddamn shield.

Be specific to improve your chances.

[42PETUNIAS]

Specificity ruins it. You see the same goddamn monster in every game, and every game it eats your damn shield, even though you knew exactly what it was, you still walked right into it for the 5th time and that failing stings the most.

[Zilla]

Well, nobody said you had to take the advice of the person who's judging...

[Masked Jedi]

Another Portal example: Euthanizing the Companion Cube

[Kerensky287]

The scene in Prince of Persia SoT after Farah steals your dagger. You know the one I mean.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

The death of a certain character at the end of Half Life 2: Ep 2.

[greed]

The death of The Boss at the end of MGS3.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I reckon something from MGS will be a winner.
Haven't played any of them so we'll go with one I don't think is very good but is all I can think of:
Chrono's resurrection scene (with Marle in party) in Chrono Trigger.

[Mr.Bookworm]

If you took my advice and played the Darkness, you will agree with me. Otherwise, not so much.

The scene where you're forced to watch Jenny die, and your subsequent suicide.

It's like getting gut-punched, especially after the heartwarming scene where you and Jenny just sit and watch TV together.

[Zilla]

I have played the Darkness (not on your advice though, and I don't even recall your suggestion of it... Good suggestion though).

I haven't played Chrono Trigger. Well, I have, but maybe the first 10 minutes and then some random parts in the middle.

Edit: I'm waiting the full 24 hours for this since there's some pretty good answers in here.

[krogothwolf]

It'll be interesting to see how you rate them cause I think almost all these are pretty good examples powerful moments in gaming

[Archbio]

Fallout: The Bad End. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfyqlMBeQFU)

Even had me feeling bad/rooting for the Overseer a moment, there.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

In that case I'll gow ith:
Shadow of the Collosus- the first time you see a collosus in movement.

[Seil]

After Sniper Wolf dies and Otacon and Snake have that conversation. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wriaT32v2T0) Or Grey Fox's death scene. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IimjoFyUktY&feature=related) Wait, no.

When The Boss dies. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK8__cKkw0g)

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

When The Boss dies. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK8__cKkw0g)


Already taken by greed there Seil.

[Seil]

Damn. Well... then I guess I'll go with this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRm5xWY8GyU) Everything that Raiden does, or happens to him here.

[Ape Boy]

Let's go with the death of the Metroid Hatchling in Super Metroid. So many different emotional levels without a single word of dialog.

First time I played through the game, I think my exact reaction during that entire sequence was:
"YEEEAAAAAHHHHHH--oooooohhhhhhhhWWWWWWWWAAAUUGGGGGHHH!! YOU FUCKING BITCH!! I'LL KILL YOU!"
I then feel really good about kicking her ass.

[bluestarultor]

The Legend of Dragoon has several of these, but I think the most frustrating part of the game before the end is when the idiot MC gets his magical macguffin stolen by some shitty random thief and has to go through an area with fucked up gravity, a boss battle, a ruin filled with larcenous enemies and traps, and another boss battle with the thief and his boss to get it back. Oh, and for the second boss battle, you're forced to use basically the most useless party member, who you probably have put zero work into up until that point because everyone else is just that much more effective until he gets weaponry with decent effects later that make him workable unless you want to cast magic. Then the boss dies and they make a big deal of this because they can.

[krogothwolf]

ooh, i remember that part that was a really annoying trek!

[Krylo]

Final scene of Earthbound. The prayer

[krogothwolf]

I've yet to play earthbound.....im a disgrace to all RPG players aren't I?

[Zilla]

I didn't play Fallout, Super Metroid, or MGS 4 (I plan to play MGS 4 at some point), but I like some of the lesser known suggestions. That's one reason I'm saying right off if I've played them or not, so people can try again instead of having answers that aren't even in the running because I haven't been through them.

I also haven't beaten Bioshock (I plan to at some point), but I know enough of the story to consider that submission.

Edit: Seil was SO CLOSE to going with the instant winner, but then he kept backing off and going for more and more distant placers. The instant winner was Sniper Wolf's death scene. Even yesterday, when I was looking through the different moments just to compare their impact, watching that scene brought tears to my eyes again. Even now, just thinking about it, I'm getting that pre-cry feeling...

But then he went with Gray Fox's death scene, which was also really powerful, just not quite as heartstring tugging as watching Otacon break down over the situation. I'm pretty sure that would still have won if he had gone with it.

Then he went with The Boss's death scene, which I felt was a shallow mirror of Sniper Wolf's death, but I'll get to that in 42's rating.

Then he went with a scene I haven't even seen or experienced, with a character I hate.

Alas...

Other very close contenders are:

- Getting the gun in Out of This World (or Another World outside of the US). This gun is my favorite weapon in the entire game universe, and the amount of power it puts in your hands is amazing.
- Being confronted by Ganondorf at the drawbridge in Ocarina of Time. I was scared!
- (impossible for anyone to guess) Fighting a close match in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It becomes a dance, and it's exhilarating!
- Defeating Malcolm with his own spell in Kyrandia: Book 1. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTXnUB3P3x4) He was one of the best villians in a game for being so extremely cocky, that making him cause his own downfall was the best comeuppance ever.
- Fighting Iron Knuckles in The Adventure of Link. Similarly exhilarating to SSBM.
- Fighting Iron Knuckles in OoT/ Majora's Mask.
- The credits sequence in Ocarina of Time. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge8zd1ZR-hc) Specifically, the party at Lon Lon Ranch.

I'm sure I could go on, but it's ranking time.

Last: Rejected Again - COD's ending. I haven't played Call of Duty, and I don't care for it. I don't like the design elements in that game, and the "story" usually seems cut together from movies, which loses points. I didn't experience the ending, but I don't subscribe to any military mindset that would make an ending to this game have any resonance with me, so this gets dead last. :/

15. Bluestar: Legend of Dragoon. I didn't play this game, and I'm not easily frustrated by such things. I actually would have enjoyed using an underused character, most likely. Also, this sounds like those grindfest turn-based RPGs like Final Fantasy that I don't like playing at all... Sorry, wrong person for this one.

14. Seil - Raiden. I didn't play MGS 4, and I don't give two shits about whiney "We've managed to avoid drowning!" Raiden from MGS 2. I've heard he's a lot better in 4, but as it stands, I haven't experienced it yet, so this goes way back here. So close to victory, and then you second-guessed yourself down to here!

13. Archbio - Fallout: Bad Ending. I didn't play Fallout, but I can appreciate the "EVERTHING IS GOING TO HELL" in that video enough to rank it here on the list of things I didn't experience.

12. Masked Jedi - Euthanizing your faithful companion cube faster than any test subject on record. This was enough to elicit a laugh from me when it happened, but nothing more. It was funny, not emotional.

11. TWG - Still Alive. I didn't get to experience this in-game, unexpectedly, like a lot of people did. I first heard about it, and then saw it as a video. I'm sure it would have had a lot more impact on me if I had done it myself, but since I was spoiled on it, it was more a novelty than anything unexpectedly awesome. Amusing, but not emotional.

10. Ape Boy - Metroid's death. I know there was some heavy story significance in this, but I didn't experience it either. It must have been an emotional thing at the time, but Zero's death in Megaman X would have done a lot better than this for me, and I think the two are similar. This ranks better than the companion cube though, and that I actually DID experience! It would have helped if it was more intelligible creature instead of something that has a hard time communicating.

9. Hawk - Death of... someone... in Half Life 2. I'm still kinda half-heartedly playing Half Life 2, but I never played episode 2. The characters in this series are a little flat for my taste, so I can't imagine the magnitude of anyone's death being as moving as the entries further on. Not a bad try though!

8. 42 Petunias - Like likes eating my shield. I'm not an idiot, and this only happens to me in the original Legend of Zelda. If you had been specific with it being the original Legend of Zelda, this could have been second place, since I always manage to get knocked into one by a bubble, which means I CAN'T SWING MY SWORD and I know my shield is done for, and I have to go track down a shop and buy a new one. Every other game with like likes, they are either easy to avoid, or it's easy to get your shield back.

7. Krogothwolf - Zant being a badass. I was pretty mad at him for this scene, and there was emotion involved, definately. However, as much of a bastard as he was in this scene, and basically robbing you of your hard work, it isn't as much of an impacter as the later ones. A good entry!

6. Overcast - Andrew Ryan. A man chooses. A slave obeys. I didn't ever get to meet the man behind the talkbox, but I've heard enough about it to get a by-proxy experience. I'm sure this would have ranked higher once I actually get to this part of the game myself, but the excellent buildup they've done so far in the game guarantees this is going to be a scene to remember.

5. Kerensky - Farah steals your dagger. You spend the entire game relying on it, and suddenly your crutch is gone. This is an important scene, and there was an intense feeling of desperation associated with it.

4. Greed - MGS3 ending. It echoed Sniper Wolf a little too much, but it was still rather powerful. Good cinematic effects. For MGS3, The Sorrow's part with the river of the dead would have placed better.

3. B-HS - Collosus moving. OH MY GOD, I have to kill THAT?! This left me awestruck and humbled, and I certainly got a shot of adrenaline when shown the beast I was tasked to slay. The cinematography was amazing, and it was quite immersive. The feeling of "Holy shit." was tuned way up for this.

2. Krylo - Earthbound endgame thing. This is the highest ranking thing I haven't experienced, because I've seen the youtube and read about this, and even though I didn't play through the whole game, I got enough feel for it to understand what's going on. I really want to get to this part of the game.

1. Mr. Bookworm - Jenny's death scene in the Darkness. There was a ton of empathy for Jackie at this point, and the damn Darkness wouldn't let him move! All the stuff involved in this scene, delivered from a great first-person perspective, make this scene REALLY powerful. It wins.

[krogothwolf]

I think that'll teach seil from changing his answer 4 times

[Zilla]

Oh, and link to that video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmW3qUrb66I), because it's quite powerful.

The only backstory you need is that Paulie is a total dick, and the only real crime you committed against him is that you couldn't get the money from an extortion job.

[Overcast]

I would suggest taking the time to get to that moment in BioShock. It was a rather powerful scene.

[Seil]

Edit: Seil was SO CLOSE to going with the instant winner, but then he kept backing off and going for more and more distant placers. The instant winner was Sniper Wolf's death scene. Even yesterday, when I was looking through the different moments just to compare their impact, watching that scene brought tears to my eyes again. Even now, just thinking about it, I'm getting that pre-cry feeling...

Is it too late to change my answer?

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

9. Hawk - Death of... someone... in Half Life 2. I'm still kinda half-heartedly playing Half Life 2, but I never played episode 2. The characters in this series are a little flat for my taste, so I can't imagine the magnitude of anyone's death being as moving as the entries further on. Not a bad try though!


Well then, it's a good idea that I didn't spoiler who it is that snuffs it. All I can say is; finish the game. Seriously.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I totally played Legend of Kyrandia Book 3 first which ruins the first one for me.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Hey, I won. I think when I said "If you took my advice" I was thinking of Seil. Or someone else who I was recommending play the Darkness a while back.

So, favorite movie/book/game/anime/manga/thing that is either a total mind screw or would be best enjoyed on large amounts of drugs.

[Zilla]

Cromartie High School

And B-HS, WHY, WHY did you ever play the third game? I watched a longplay of it and I was thoroughly disgusted at the gaping plot holes they managed to punch into the first, much better game. There is absolutely no way both the first and third games are part of the same continuity.

The first game, he is CLEARLY a malicious villain. HE GOES TO KALLAK'S HOUSE AND TURNS HIM TO STONE. He's going around blowing up trees because he feels like it. He torments Brandon by taunting him throughout the quest. He brainwashes Herman into trying to kill Brandon with Brandon's grandfather's saw. And he CLEARLY stole the kyragem, as seen in the last part of the game. And he turns himself into stone WHEN HE'S TRYING TO KILL YOU! All of this means that the third game's Malcolm is completely different. If he didn't really kill the king, then why did he go on a mad power trip and steal the source of magic, and WHY DID THE FIRST GAME EVEN HAPPEN?

Not to mention the horrible inconsistency in his motivation in the third game, I mean, first he's trying to prove his innocence, then he wants to attack Kyrandia with a band of pirates, then he wants to save Kyrandia from those pirates? What?

[Ape Boy]

Best movie while tripping: Brazil.

I am disappointed in your game playing experience, Zillsner! No Super Metroid, Fallout, Final Fantasy, MGS4 (to a lesser extent), and haven't beaten BioShock yet?

For shaaaaame! Also, Zero's death is a good bit diluted because he dies in just about every X game and keeps coming back, on top of X not being Zero's parent.

I change my answer to Arfenhouse 2. (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/110131)

[Overcast]

I change my answer to Superjail.

[Fifthfiend]

It's been 48 hours and change, if Bookers doesn't post by midnight I'm declaring the question up for grabs.

[Zilla]

If Arfenhouse is crack, Superjail is LSD.

[Krylo]

You know, fifth, saying midnight on a forum with users from multiple time zones doesn't really help.

Midnight GMT -6? -5? -7? +2?

[Osterbaum]

I vote for +2.

[Fifthfiend]

Since it is up for grabs the new question is: timezones - which one counts?

The answer is: Pacific time, and everyone else can go get fucked.

New topic: Sandwiches. Most delicious answer is the winner.

[krogothwolf]

Genoa Hot Salami, Calabrese Hot Salami with insane country fair hot sauce, mayo, and Havarti cheese served on white bread.

[POS Industries]

A goddamn burger.

[krogothwolf]

I just listed what I brought for lunch! and now i've eaten it cause i got hungry writing about it so I have no lunch :(

The Wish Sandwich.

See, it's empty, and then you wish there was something inside it that tasted pretty good, and then with your imagination you can have an incredible experience eating this sandwich that you imagine doesn't just taste like crappy bread. I took it from a Bill Cosby thing.

[01d55]

So there's this place at UCSC, it's called Joe's Pizza.

They sell subs. Really good ones. My favourite is cheese, peppers, and sausage (cooked).

They also sell pizza, but it's not really good pizza so everyone just buys the subs.

[Osterbaum]

A delicious bible sandwich.

[Si Civa]

Homemade sandwich. :|

[Fifthfiend]

Kerensky - The Wish Sandwich:

As a friend's father used to say, wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up faster. Sir your sandwich is objectively of less value than a shit sandwich.

Osterbaum - A delicious bible sandwich.

I guess I can say this is objectively not of less value than Kerensky's sandwich.

Si Cava - Homemade sandwich:

I have no grounds for gauging the value of this sandwich.

Overcast - Knuckle

42PETUNIAS - PB&J

I am highlighting these particular terrible fucking attempts to sell me on a goddamn sandwich. I mean, come on.

POS - A goddamn burger

See above. There are delicious fucking burgers in the world, but this just makes me think of all the shitty, McShitalds-quality burgers out there that make me want to hate a goddamn burger.

Krylo - Sex

This will generally be a pretty enjoyable sandwich, but as far as deliciousness goes there are really no guarantees at all with this kind of sandwich.

Numsie - Cheese, peppers, and sausage at Joe's Pizza:

Local sandwich place that everyone goes to sandwiches have at least an 85% chance of being delicious.

DBS - Meatball

Bookworm - Philly cheesesteak.

Still pretty spare on details but the thing here is I don't think I've ever had an undelicious one of either of these kinds of sandwich, basically anything competently executed attempt that can reasonably go by either of these names will be a pretty fucking good sandwich.

A delicious one that may give me the raging shits twenty minutes later, in the case of the Philly, but still, fucking delicious.

Greed - Thick slices of ham(or lots of thin sliced ham), sharp cheddar cheese and coleslaw.

Man you know what? Now we are starting to talk sandwich.

Ape Boy - Roast turkey, lettuce, tomato, swiss, mayo, and bacon on wheat.

I look at these ingredients and be like why not chuck the turkey and have a BLT? Or man if you had said cranberry sauce instead of bacon, you would totally be looking at a winner.

Rejected Again - Ice Cream sammich:

Just, you know what? Good fucking answer. Bonus points for 'sammich'.

The Wandering God - Roast beef with bacon, red onions, lettuce, tomato, honey mustard, and horseradish on a multi-grain batard. (I make this at the sandvich place I work at. It's so good,
it's like a sucker punch to your taste buds.)

I love some fucking honey mustard and horseradish and sandwich shop sandwiches that the employees make for themselves as a rule are like 95% better than any standard sandwich. My only issue here is with no statement on the quality of the roast beef I can't be assured of its deliciousness since I've honestly had some pretty lousy dry roast beef in my sandwiches and it has colored my overall impression of the meat. Still I've also had some amazing fucking juicy, tender, just-cut fresh and still red roast beef so this makes it near the top of this list of sandwiches.

krogothwolf - Genoa Hot Salami, Calabrese Hot Salami with insane country fair hot sauce, mayo, and Havarti cheese served on white bread.

This is a delicious-sounding sandwich. This is such a delicious sandwich that if I had been telling someone about it as I was looking at it I would have had to stop right there and go eat this fucking sandwich. This is a delicious-sounding sandwich.

Krogoth you are a winner.

[Archbio]

Grilled cheese sandwhich, with Emmental.

Where's the "Curse you Reed Richards!" smilie when one needs it?

[Fifthfiend]

My bad.

Yours would have been between Ape Boy and Rejected, on the grounds that I've never had Emmental but it sounds pretty delicious.

[krogothwolf]

It was a very very delicious sandwich ad I wish I had made 2 instead of just one that day.

Question: Favourite slasher/horror flick!

[The Wandering God]

Evil Dead

It's got Bruce Campbell.

The Wandering God

[Osterbaum]

Oh surprise surprise. The answers of both the two finns in these forums reach only last place. Plus you intentionally misspel one of their names. You are such a racist.

[Fifthfiend]

Technically I'm a classical Chauvinist!

Or if you prefer, Jingoist!

On topic: TWG wins but for my answer I'll go with Nightmare on Elm Street III because that was the one in the mental asylum where the series went for-serious fucking crazy.

[Masked Jedi]

Halloween 1

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Scream.

I know it won't win but whatever.

Actually fuck it, question asks for horror without further specifying the genre, so I'm going with Event Horizon.

[Osterbaum]

Technically I'm a classical Chauvinist!

Or if you prefer, Jingoist!
You my friend are a RACISTER!!!

EDIT: Oh yeah, need an answer. I'm going to go with Saw.

That was a horror movie??? :confused:

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Let's go with first one I can think of: "It" mostly because it had Tim Curry as the villain.

[krogothwolf]

Krylo - Eight Legged Freaks - thought this was a bad comedy then a horror movie.

Osterbaum - Saw - Never overly enjoyed the Saw movies, the death puzzles annoyed me more then anything but it did cause for some great gore!

Hawk - Scream - Good movie but didn't enjoy the "twist" villians seemed they tried to hard to make it suprising

Masked Jedi - Halloween 1 - Michael myers the silent and slow tank of a killing machine

RA - Friday the 13th - The Mother's thirst for revenge. Horror in a Hockey mask.

TWG - Evil Dead - So Bad its good and Bruce Campbell rocks

Zilla - Dead Alive - Wow, This movie was just wow, blood guts and everything inbetween.

Moogle0119 - The Exorcist - The puke scene actually made me puke when I first saw it an now has made me feel like puking everytime someone else pukes around me

SMB - It - This was a great movie and i generally enjoy it.

fifthfiend - Nightmare on Elm Street III - Jesus fuck, this was the first horror movie i ever saw and it gave me nightmares as a kid, jesus fucking christ did this scare the shit out of me I didn't want to dream for weeks afterwards

Ape Boy - The Shining - Heeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny still gives me the creeps Jack Nicholson knows crazy

Archbio - The Thing - Really enjoyed this as its man vs man vs one fucking disgusting alien thing and its one of my favorites of all time.

So take it away Archbio!

[Mr.Bookworm]

Awwww. I was about to post Alien.

[Masked Jedi]

Evil Dead is not so bad its good! Damn people wouldn't know a great horror movie if it bit you on the ass.

Heath Ledger's monologue-ing about his scars is more than a bit unnerving.

"Well, you look nervous. Is it the scars? You wanna know how I got 'em? Come here. Hey! Look at me. So I had a wife, beautiful, like you, who tells me I worry too much. Who tells me I oughta smile more. Who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks... Look at me! One day, they carve her face. And we have no money for surgeries. She can't take it. I just want to see her smile again, hmm? I just want her to know that I don't care about the scars. So... I stick a razor in my mouth and do this...to myself. And you know what? She can't stand the sight of me! She leaves. Now I see the funny side. Now I'm always smiling!"

Hey Krogo I totally changed my answer in that last round! I feel cheated now.:(

[Krylo]

Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of the everyday routine. The security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration whereby important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful, bloody struggle are celebrated with a nice holiday. I thought we could mark this November the 5th. A day that is, sadly, no longer remembered by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are, of course, those who do not want us to speak. Even now, orders are being shouted into telephones and men with guns will soon be on their way.

Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation. Words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning and, for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of Surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Certainly there are those who are more responsible than others and they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty you need only look into a mirror.

I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you and in your panic, you turned to the now High Chancellor Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night, I sought to end that silence. Last night, I destroyed the Old Bailey to remind this country of what it has forgotten.

More than 400 years ago, a great citizen wished to imbed the 5th of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice and freedom are more than words. They are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest that you allow the 5th of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek then I ask you to stand beside me, one year from tonight outside the gates of Parliament and together, we shall give them a 5th of November that shall never, ever be forgot.

Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace.

Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse. I AM William Wallace. And I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What would you do without freedom? Will you fight?

Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!!!

A speech on using quality brake pads, by Thomas R. Callahan III (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AaN0pK-Q6A)

[Professor Smarmiarty]

From Princess Bride- there are some interjections by he is really just monologing.

Guess?....I don't guess. I think. I ponder. I deduce. Then I decide. But I never guess....It's all so simple....All I have to do is deduce, from what I know of you, the way your mind works. Are you the kind of man who would put the poison into his own glass, or into the glass of his enemy?...Now a great fool....would place the wine in his own goblet, because he would know that only another great fool would reach first for what he was given. I am clearly not a great fool, so I will clearly not reach for your wine....[But] you knew I was not a great fool, so you would know that I would never fall for such a trick. You would count on it. So I will clearly not reach for mine either....We have now decided that the poisoned cup is most likely in front of you. But the poison is powder made from iocane and iocane comes only from Australia and Australia, as everyone knows, is peopled with criminals and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as I don't trust you, which means I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you....But, again, you must have suspected I knew the origins of iocane, so you would have known I knew about the criminals and criminal behavior, and therefore I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me....You have beaten my Turk, which means you are exceptionally strong, and exceptionally strong men are convinced that they are too powerful ever to die, too powerful even for iocane poison, so you could have put it in your cup, trusting on your strength to save you; thus I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you....But you also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, because he studied many years for his excellence, and if you can study, you are clearly more than simply strong; you are aware of how mortal we all are, and you do not wish to die, so you would have kept the poison as far from yourself as possible; therefore I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me....I have already learned everything from you....I know where the poison is....What in the world can that be?....I could have sworn I saw something, no matter....Let's drink....[I guessed wrong?] You only think I guessed wrong....I switched glasses when your back was turned....Fool!....You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well known is this: 'Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.'

Be Cool:

Have you lost your mind? I mean, how is it that you can disrespect a mans ethnicity when you know we've influenced nearly every facet of white America... from our music to our style of dress. Not to mention your basic imitation of our sense of cool; walk, talk, dress, mannerisms... we enrich your very existence, all the while contributing to the gross national product through our achievements in corporate America. It's these conceits that comfort me when I am faced with the ignorant, cowardly, bitter and bigoted, who *have* no talent, no guts? people like you who desecrate things they don't understand when the truth is - you should say thank-you, man? and go on about your way. But apparently you are incapable of doing that!

[Archbio]

Apologies for the delay:

Overcast - Break Pads - Funnier without the animation.

SMcBP - Battle of Wits - Maybe it's the film's version that comes off more as a dialogue, with the Man in Black as the straight man? The low position is because I couldn't decide if it was cheating or not.

Ape Boy - The Gold Watch - Trauma!

Krogothwolf - Macbeth Monologue - Some other Shakespear solliloquies would have won against the same competition, but still great.

Zilla - Portal, the entire freaking game - Why didn't I think of that?

Zilla wins!

[Zilla]

Wow, I didn't expect to win, actually, just because I was iffy on whether the game would work as an answer. :P

But I had a really good one:

Favorite video game composer.

Since Zilla is the weirdo that didn't play any Final Fantasy, I'm changing my pick to:

Koji Kondo!

[Rejected Again]

Hideo Kojima?

Kojima isn't a composer.

These composers worked on different games in the Metal Gear franchise:

Takanari Ishiyama
Gigi Meroni

[Zilla]

Last place: Overcast - Jeremy Soule
It's okay ambiance, but there's nothing very phenomenal about his work, at least from the games I've played with him behind the score.

9: Seil - Gregson Williams
MGS 1 had all the good music, and he worked on every OTHER MGS game, which had only decent music.

8: Moogle - Nobou Uematsu
Everything I've heard by him, while having a good symphonic feel, isn't my cup of tea. I understand why people like his music a lot, but it doesn't really mesh with my taste very well.

7: Mr. Bookworm - Jonathon Coulton
He only composed one song for one game, and this hurts him a LOT. While Still Alive is an amazing song, a one-hit wonder isn't going to make him my favorite game composer. I do enjoy Code Monkey and his cover of Baby Got Back.

6: KrogothWolf - Toru Minegishi
I don't know for sure what parts of the Zelda games he worked on, but he wasn't the main force behind the music in those games, which was Koji Kondo. I'm sure he made some valid contributions though.

5: Ape Boy - Tommy Tallarico
He gets this spot for his work on Earthworm Jim, which had an amazing soundtrack with a wide genre of music. New Junk City is a very good song, and there's hardly a track from that soundtrack that I dislike. Unfortunately, his other works aren't as good. Honorable mention is Another World, which only had one song, but the ending theme was great.

4: TWG - Taro Bando
Now we're in the serious business. The F-Zero X soundtrack was hands down the best work of the F-Zero series, and the music alone makes F-Zero X superior to F-Zero GX. The guitar work is absolutely incredible! It's only in 4th because he focused too heavily on one instrument, and although it's a masterful guitar track, it's too focused.

3: Rejected Again - Kazuki Muraoka
The first Metal Gear Solid had an utterly amazing score. I have the soundtrack on my .mp3 player, and the Tank Hanger music is one of my all-time favorite pieces. The heavy percussion emphasis and sawtooth synthesizers and strings are extremely well put together, and it fits the atmosphere of the game perfectly.

2: Archbio - Koji Kondo
Koji is the best Japanese composer. His work on the Zelda series alone is enough to put him ahead of everyone else, but then he has to go and do the Mario series as well? He's a master at writing catchy tunes.

1: Hawk - Frank Klepacki
Command and Conquer's soundtrack is amazing enough, but then you find out he also did Kyrandia Book 1. I don't blame him for Kyrandia 3, that was the design team's fault. "Industrial" is one of my all-time favorite tracks from any game.

Hawk wins. Now that I think of it though, Greame Norgate would have been the instant winner for his work on Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, and the TimeSplitters series. Another strong contender (would have placed above Taro Bando) is Daisuke Ishiwatari, who does the music for Guilty Gear. He's as good as Taro for guitar, but he also knows how to place other instruments into the score.

[Overcast]

Hmm I just thought of who I should have picked. Hideki Naganuma, the Jet Set Radio soundtrack is one of my favorites of all time.

[Zilla]

It still wouldn't have netted you any better. I played one Jet Set Radio game, and I didn't care for the music.

[Overcast]

Oh I didn't expect to win with it, I would just have preferred to lose with that guy. Losing with Soule just makes me feel bad.

Erm, topic.... erm....

Let's go with favourite superpower that I would like to have.

[Archbio]

To transform myself at will into an elephantaur. Which would grant me superhuman strenght, superhuman durability and the ability to sit wherever I want.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Results time;

14)Fifthfiend - The ability to tell based on a cursory examination of a person's facial features whether or not they prefer grilled, ungrilled, or no onions on their sandwiches - If I worked in some sort of fast food establishment, then I could see the benefit of this power, however I dont, so I dont.

13)Si Civa - The superpower of being awesome - As awesome as that would be, I think actually having a tangible, less vague power would be significantly more awesome.

12)Archbio - To transform myself at will into an elephantaur. Which would grant me superhuman strenght, superhuman durability and the ability to sit wherever I want - Elephantaurs look lame. If you'd gone with a standard Minotaur you'd have ranked a little higher.

11)Masked Jedi - The ability to makes people's brains explode by break-dancing hard enough - Sounds like a lot of work just to make peoples heads explode. Would be pretty cool though.

10)Overcast - Quicksave - Undoubtedly useful, but less so without its counterpart power; Quickload.

8 & 9)Ape Boy & Krogowolf - Immortality and healing factor - Grouped together due to them both being fairly similar. Never really wanted to live for ever personally, and being able to heal really fast still means getting hurt, something I'd prefer to avoid. I'll pass thanks.

7)The Wandering God - Telepathy - Never really liked the idea of hearing peoples thoughts either. People are generally weird, the things they think should remain private. However...

6)42PETUNIAS - Mind control - I have less of a problem with controlling peoples thoughts, so long as I don't have to hear them. However, mind control would just be a little bit boring.

5)Mr.Bookworm - Flight - This would be pretty cool. Well, cooler than the others so far anyway, but on its own it doesn't really offer much else.

4)Smarty McBarrelpants - Invisibilty - The ultimate dick power. Man I could get away with so much shit and be an ass to everyone I ever disliked and never get caught. I don't think I could get bored easily with this.

3)Rejected Again - The power to shoot fucking lasers out of your eyes - But now we're getting to the real good shit. Who wouldn't wanna be able to make shit explode just by looking at it? The only thing better would be...

2)Krylo - Control of wind/weather - Because in my eyes, tornados --> lasers. And then you throw in calling down lightning strikes and all that other good shit and you can just act like goddamn Zeus! And Zeus is awesome.

1)Zilla - Time control - But nothing is quite as awesome as fucking with the very fabric of the universe itself. If I had this, man, I would slow that shit right down, and fuck with everything. You could do whatever you want before anyone else could even blink. That's badass enough, but then add actual time travel in there, and well, yeah, not much beats that.

Zilla wins. Of course, the two insta-wins would've been telekinesis and teleportation and I'm surprised nobody said those.

[Overcast]

Hmm I thought quickload was a given, after all if you can access the ability to save the universe and reactivate it later then you ought to be able to all the time. And TK was my first choice, unfortunately I decided to doubt my first choice for once.

Super-speed is actually better than basically all of those, but I had onions on the brain.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I totally should have thought of super-speed. If you are fast enough you can effectively mimic nearly any other power.

[krogothwolf]

Super-speed is actually better than basically all of those, but I had onions on the brain.

So you were thinking of Fighter, BM and an onion?

[Archbio]

If you'd gone with a standard Minotaur you'd have ranked a little higher.

Everybody knows cows don't sit! Also, I didn't quite envision a Ganesh kind of deal, which would be hell on one's neck.

Would have time travel counted as distinct from time manipulation?

[Fifthfiend]

I assume "manipulation" = travel plus stop/speedup/reversal/slowdown.

I totally should have thought of super-speed. If you are fast enough you can effectively mimic nearly any other power.

Years of reading Flash comics has taught me that throwing enough speed at a problem can solve absolutely anything.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Except making things move without touching them. Seriously why would I want to bother moving at superspeed if I could just think shit to happen. And why bother moving at all if you can teleport??

Besides, only the Flash has that level of Power of Plot type superspeed, the same way only the Hulk has that level of Power of Plot type superstrength. So really you could say that throwing enough anything at a problem can solve it too. Throw enough TK and you can control all matter in the universe and re-write reality.

underwater.

Underwater ruined city!

Totally robbed.

You probably won it with that :p

[Zilla]

SMB's second place, but the moon base still won.

Really, those two were the only ones that had serious clout in my book. Third would go to the beach, then Valhalla, then Hell. Last would have gone to the field. That's about as "meh" as you can get!

Masked Jedi-FLCL-FOOLY COOLY! I absolutely loved all 6 episodes of FLCL, so random and so good.
Russian Reversal-Trigun-What can I say, its a classic that everyone should watch
Kerensky-Gurren Fucking Lagann-No explanation needed. Its just full of awesome.
Fifthfiend-Spirited Away-Hayao Miyazaki is one of my favorite animators of all time. Princess Mononoke is one of few that could have ousted...
CelesJessa-FMA-Not many Anime have grabbed me like FMA has. By far one of the best ever. The Story is very well done, the take on alchemy is interesting, and the bond between Ed and Al makes me smile. Take it away CJ.

Auto wins were Ruroni Kenshin, Hellsing Ultimate, and Peacemaker. Nerima Daikon Brothers, MAY have beaten FMA depending on the mood I was in at the time.

[Krylo]

Krylo-Dragon Pink-...What?

Look it up.

Just don't post any links on the forums.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Psssh, I know your secret shame!

[krogothwolf]

Look it up.

Just don't post any links on the forums.

Why not? It's clearly an innocent non-adult oriented anime!

[Fifthfiend]

Princess Mononoke is one of few that could have ousted...

AUGH I ALMOST WENT WITH THAT

GOD DAMMIT

I WAS ROBBED

Edit:

Peacemaker

Really?

Like I thought it was kinda good but I mean, better than all the other stuff at the top of your list? Huh.

[Overcast]

I was not aware that Krylo had any shame.

Meanwhile I am having this terrible feeling that I'm going to force myself to keep putting Azumanga for every anime/manga related Who Knew until the day I actually win with it.

[Archbio]

Archbio-Hellsing-The Ultimate Series is a auto win, Watch that if you haven't. I assume that you, however, are suggesting the original so you end up here.

Through the power of cheating, I was suggesting whichever series that (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=943878&postcount=1635) is, since that was the basis for my pick. I have no idea how "ultimate" or "original" it is, though.

Look it up.

Ngh. Wikipedia has failed me.

[deanh22a]

Exploding heads are the best. Fist of the north star is your favorite.

[CelesJessa]

Oh sweet! I didn't see that coming.

Okay.... how about...

My favorite character design? (visually) It can be TV, movies, video games, whatever. Adding pictures or links to pictures doesn't hurt too in case I don't know who you're talking about.

Yeah, you should have went with that one. Also, I actually enjoyed Peacemaker, it was the lowest of the instawins.

Pandaikon (http://fc00.deviantart.com/fs20/f/2007/299/5/5/Pandaikon_by_yaminoarashi.jpg)

[Zilla]

Let's go with Ed Elric.

[Seil]

Naked Snake undisguised.

[krogothwolf]

Deadpool!

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Claude Frollo from Notre Dame.

[CelesJessa]

Hmmm alright. This was hard to choose.

5. Pandaikon (rejected again) - I'm not much for the "cute fuzzy creature" esque design. Just doesn't do much with my imagination.
4. Deadpool (krogoth) - I'm not a big superhero fan, but Deadpool is one of the cooler ones, I understand. Design-wise he's pretty cool, but I'm not a huge fan of the whole-body-covering-spandex-suit design.
3. Naked Snake (Seil) - I quite like this design. Snake costumes need more shirtlessness.
2. Frollo (Barrelpants) - He's a pretty cool villain design. He always gave me the creeps anyway.
1. Edward Elric (Zilla) - Somehow I was hoping not to pick something FMA related for 1st place, but, alas, as much as I thought about it, I really love Edward's automail design. I just think it's really cool.

So go for it Zilla. From now on I'm going to say no guessing anything FMA related for my categories. :sweatdrop

[Zilla]
