The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • There's nothing more annoying then watching a friend playing a game when they have no idea what the hell they're doing.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

I usually tell them "Quit masterbating the joystick and smearing the buttons!" That usually makes them stop.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Modern; text-align: left; '>My friend is using the charged shot, it doesn't work on the boss, but he keeps using it again and again. ARG. He's also in all range mode, so like a second after he passes up the boss he does the 180 move and pass the boss up again, or ends up running into the boss, I've never seen somebody die fighting the first boss in StarFox 64 but sure enough my friend pulls it off.

Then on the next stage, the boss likes to absorb your laser and shoot it back at you if you hit his front frame to much, so what does my friend do? He keeps shoting the damn frame, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out shooting the shield = retaliation, even Peppy's CPU ass kept saying it *Sigh*. I figured it out the first time I played the game, when I saw the shield charging like it was about to shoot back at me.</div>
