     That was a bit of a sarcastic quip on my part Trey for recently 
getting kicked off for what *I* didn't consider a swear word and 
than Greg himself kicked himself off (for 2 days mind you) for 
saying the word Bastage. I think that's a little carried away.

Greg would you please post to the list the edited versions of the 
exact words we are not allowed to use on this list, because it's 
getting to the point where you can't safely express yourself for 
fear of getting removed. This is the only list I'm on that is 
administrated at all let alone so tightly.

Thanks

'Hell' is definitely not a swear word.   I don't think it's necessary to 
print out all the words not allowed, since there are new members coming

Good rule of thumb, guys, on language, is to not to say anything that you
wouldn't hear on American TV. I know, I know, your thinking, "Those prudent
bastards!" but that's the way we work.

On another note, I just got my order in from the Nintendo Super power Supplies
Catalog. I got five N64 game protectors, and 6 buttons, one with the N64 logo
on it, the other with Link on it, the third with Donkey Kong on it, another
with Mario on it, another with Banjo-Kazooie on it, and the final one with
Yoshi on it. They're pretty cool. I also got the new Nintendo Power. My last
issue before my subscription runs out. You think I should renew? I get Game
Buyer, EGM, and Next Generation from the news stand, so I am unsure about
renewing to NP. Should I?

Thanks in advance,

~Matt

Well, I myself and subscribed to NP, EGM, and Game Buyer, and buy T&T off the news
stand.  If I had to pick only one to subscribe to it would be EGM probably.  So it
depends if you like NP the best.  I personally only like previews and like Pak
Watch, since everything else is biased.  Game Buyer is pretty good, they got
awesome reviews, but not much else in it is special.. EGM has it all though.

I just downloaded the 21 meg movie file from ign64.com   , 
took me 1 minute :)
If u have just a 56k modem or less, I don't think it's worth the 
download.  Although it is nice to watch, the game seems great.  This game 
seems perfect.  I'm more anxious to play the game now.  Maybe it is worth

On IGN64 today did you see them talking about Vigilante 8 for the N64 as being
the next big thing for N64 multi-player. Or as they said, 

"The N64 Vigilante 8 faithfully recreates the insane deathmatch battles of the
PSX original, but with its better visuals and the promising four-player mode,
this could become one of the top multiplayer games on the platform."

Sounds more like Activision wrote this instead of Imagine. Vigilante 8 for the
PlayStation had promise, but it got boring when every weapon was a seeker 
type. No strategy, just sit on a hill and shoot. I just wonder if I'll be able
to use 
the Digital Pad too...

Okay, thanks Trey, and thanks Wezzer. My check to EGM is in the mail, as is my
check to Game Buyer. Thanks again.

Have you guys heard about Turok 2 being on a black cart? Acclaim is pulling
out all the stops on this game. It's huge (256 Mb, huge for and N64 game, at
least), it's on a special color cart, and it uses the 4MB Expansion Pak. Go
Acclaim. Speaking of Acclaim, what are some of the features you all would like
to see in South Park?

Just because weapons on cars is not realistic doesn't mean everything
else doesn't have to be realistic. Think sci-fi books or movies. Obviously
there are tons of unrealistic things, but it all works within the confines of
a "realistic" environment. The characters still have to be realistic, the
physics still have to seem realistic, the weapons and vehicles have to
seem realistic, etc...

I do see your point, however. Whith an arcade style game in the genre of
auto combat, what aspects are important to make realistic?

I haven't tried Vigilante 8, but Twisted Metal has some pretty weird
controls and car physics. Not at all realistic. There doesn't appear to be
realistic damage either. To me, I think that realistic car physics would
improve the game marginally. What would improve the game a lot would
be realistic damage, not just to the cars, but also to the environment. The
"arena" or "track" should look like a total warzone after the vehicles are
done trashing each other. It looks like the upcoming Battletanx might be
doing this, with "realistic" environments that you can blow up. I hope so!

Have you ever played the role-playing game Car Wars?  The entire thing is
all based on numbers and the physics of things that occur within realistic
environments.  When a car flies up in the air due to a massive detonation of
some type, it doesn't hit the ground and bounce to roll back onto its tires
and keep going.  The driver dies due just to the force of the impact, the
engine STOPS (imagine that!), The side that the car lands on is ripped off,
exposing and destroying everything on that side, and anything explosive
within the car, erupts then sending it back into the air for another ride.
This is the natural way of the auto duel.  DOWN with the arcade style CRAP.

Subject: [N64] Turok II+Fzero

Horray!!! I'm back on the list :)  I was just wondering who was getting
Turok II, who was buying F-zero X and who was getting both.  I'm still
uncertain if I should get Fzero-X eight days earlier than Turok II and
ask for it for Christmas or go for Turok II.  (I dont want any games to
be 'unfinished' by the time I get Zelda, I like to concentrate on ONLY
one game at a time.  It's funny but its just me.)  BTW, just for
reference, who was kicked off with me last week, regarding, the... uh...
incident?

Please post any opinions or reviews you've read.  I had written this
game off but I'm hearing that its improved significantly over the
arcade.

Thanks,

Justin

It's not all that important, but i think 2 people were suspended, Tim Danko
and ...uh...I forget who else. But that Tim Danko guy joined the next day
under some other name and sent a mean message that got him banned for life.

	Now let us never speak of "that" ugly incident ever again.
