Really? Am I the first to vote for rock? I find that funny. I don't know why, but rock just isn't that popular anymore. I kind of feel like one could say we are in  a dead age of rock. We need a new Nirvana to step up and  start a new era!

I'm proud to say that I've finally begun watching an anime series in order and on my own time. I'm watching Death Note and loving it. It's awesome that I can talk about it with my friends now.

I for one really like this topic. I am very interested in the world of dreams and therefore have recently been trying my hand at the art of lucid dreaming, or the ability to realize you are in a dream and can control it. I started this because of how vividly I dream and I began to wonder if there was any way to use such an ability for my own purposes. I now write down my dreams regularly in a dream journal (which has helped me to realize how secretly insane I may actually be :p) . Overall, I find dreaming a very fascinating experience and I love to lucid dream when the opportunity arises.

   I find this a very interesting thread! I don't think I could ever date one of my cousins, but I'm not totally against it. Who am I to say who can't love who? Of course, I do think my cousin is quite pretty, but I just couldn't. We are family, and it's about the same as if I were to date my sister.

Yes, we have chess and game club, tech ed club, and home ec club. Actually, I'm the president of chess and game club (so I'm really popular and loved by all the girls in our school, as I'm sure you can imagine.)

Okay, here I go....... redxf
Wow..... red XF??? Maybe it's a sign. A sign that my head hurts....

Yes, someday I hope to be married, but only to the right girl. I don't want to get married just because it's part of traditional culture and because my parents want grand children, I want someone to love. Perhaps it isn't necessary though, it's just seems like another way to say "I love you"

Indeed, I'm really attracted to a good personality. I like smart girls. I don't really rely on physical traits. Of course, I'm not usually attracted to someone as soon as I see them. I originally didn't care for the girl who I like now because I didn't know her well and my idea of her was based on what others told me about her. Now, I swear I'm in love with her. She's smart, funny, and creative(that's the big one to me). Plus, we share a lot of the same interests which is very important too.

Well, I'm using Ubuntu Linux to make this post, but only because I can't afford a Mac. Honestly, I completely agree with NotJon. Windows is just a lot more common and a good bit cheaper, so it has gained in popularity. But, if you use a Mac just once, you'll see a big difference. Macs are less vulnerable to virus's and any windows program that you need can most likely be run in an emulator. They're better machines, for a bit more money. The price is worth it though.

This is a tough question. First off, I'd like to say that Seth Macfarlane is comedy genius and I've never seen something made by him that I didn't like. Both shows are clearly designed for humor, but different styles of it. Family guy is designed for pop culture references and cutaway gags, so the more you know about pop culture, the funnier it is. But, the show is still quite funny if you don't get any of the references. American Dad relies more on spontaneous jokes and situational humor. This allows for more time in the main story and less diversions. Honestly, I like Family Guy a bit more as it's been around for a while longer, gained more popularity, and become a bit more memorable than American Dad. I still like American Dad a lot though.

Now Cleveland Show, that's a little different.

Wow, it's been a while since I posted. *blows dust off keyboard*

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone here has ever had a lucid dream. Lucid dreams are dreams that you know you're dreaming. Once you've realized you're in a dream, I've been told that you can control it. This is something I've been studying lately and I still can't quite get the hang of it. There are lots of methods at attempting to get lucid, but none work for everyone. So, if you've had a lucid dream please post what it was and how it happened.

Crickets. In the middle of the night they just chirp and chirp. Oh, and nails on a chalkboard (that seems to be a common answer here)

I love this game. It's one of the best 3D platformers on the Nintendo 64 and I think deserves to be ranked up there with other games like Super Mario 64. I, like the reviewer, would also recommend this game to any fan of  platform games.

It's cool to see that Vizzed board has come such a long way. I had no idea the site even existed back then.

   Ah, Contra. Contra is really the game that invented the "run around with a machine gun and blast the heck out of anything that moves" type of game. The game is a classic that anyone will recall as "fun", "addictive", or even "epic". Why is the game so great? Well, it's simple yet addictive and challenging. Anyone can see Contra and understand the concept within seconds; you play as a guy who has to shoot the bad guys and avoid getting shot himself. With that info you can play the game, but it requires a lot more to master the game. In order to master it, you'll need to keep playing it which works quite well because Contra is a game that will make you want to keep playing. It's a classic game that was owned by many hardcore gamers in the NES era.
   The graphics are good replications of the arcade original. Of course they had to simplified to work with the 8-bit console, but everything is still recognizable for what it is. Bill Rizer (protagonist of the game) sprites clearly show that he is shirtless and sports a red bandanna. The enemies are seen soldiers equipped with read armor. Overall, the graphics look about as good as the arcade version on a console with 8-bit graphics. I believe the graphics deserve an 8/10.
   The sounds are about as good as they could be on the NES. The music is really what's great. The theme for the jungle level is stuck in my head as I write this review. Every level has the kind of catchy music you would expect from Konami. It really gets you in the fast paced, action-packed setting of the game. The sound effects aren't much, but you understand what they are; gunshots and explosions are the two main sounds of the game. The sound merits a 9/10 due to the great music.
    One of the core aspects of the game is how addictive it is. Every time you die you'll just want to play more. Why? Well, when the game kills you, it's your fault. The game makes you want to keep trying until you can get past the part you keep dying on. You learn more each time you die. With what you learn you gain the skill to overcome challenges which kill you and attempt to prevent death altogether. It's an arcade style game that you don't pay quarters for. Each retry is free which means that there is nothing stopping from trying again. It will beat you down until you beat it which only makes you want to beat it more. Overall, it's super addictive and greatly a 10/10 if not 11.
   As for story, well there isn't much. According to the manual the year is 1987. 30 years ago (1957) an object from outer space landed in the Amazon. Of course, no damage was done and this was forgotten. Now, an alien army has come from the object with an evil leader known as Red Falcon. You are one of two specialists chosen to defeat the alien army. It's not very in-depth story, but it gets the point through. Story gets a 6/10.
   When it comes to content or depth, the game does well. There a 8 zones to get through each with boss battles at the end. There are two types of levels in the game. There are platform levels in which you must get your player to the end of the level by running and jumping on platforms whilst shooting your enemies and there are levels inside of bases where the player is put in a third person 3D perspective shooter. The goal of these levels is to blast open the door of reach room in order to progress to the next one until you reach the end of the base. The depth of the game is boosted by the multiplayer mode where two friends play the game cooperatively. Player 1 controls Bill and Player 2 controls Lance who is exactly the same as Bill with different colors. The multiplayer is really fun and adds a lot the game. The game gets a 9/10 for depth (it would be 7/10 without multiplayer).
   Lastly is the difficulty of the game. It's a very challenging game. One bullet from any thing will kill you instantly and you only get three lives. Plus, it's kind of hard not to die with all the crossfire in the average level. You are given continues which will start you at the beginning of the level you died on, but these are also limited. However, the game does balance the difficulty in one way. The thirty life code. A cheat code that gives the player 1o times the lives they would normally get. This cheat code is good for beginners and is universally known by everyone who received the first issue of Nintendo Power (and if you don't know it I suggest you Google it). Despite how hard the game is, you never feel like the game is cheating you with broken controls and bad level design. If you lose then you just have to get better at the game. The difficulty gets a 7/10.
   Overall the game gets a 9.4/10. This game is just great. It's a timeless classic that has worked it's way into gamers' hearts and has spawned many great sequels. I'm glad it's on Vizzed and that's all I can say.

Once to twice a day. I can't say I care about my appearance if I'm not going anywhere or not going to see anybody.

Mine would be orange. In fact until this thread I was quite convinced that orange was the ONLY Fanta flavor. I guess I've just never noticed the other ones.

I pace constantly. I just can't sit still. For some reason I have to walk. Back and forth and back and forth.
