I don't think Verbatum is a liar about what he's accomplished, but it should be noted that he drops the difficulty below normal to beat the games. At least that's what he said about his 1CC of Blazing Star.

ta ta for now...

No offense, but judging by all of your posts...

Do any of you guys in MN have friends other than people on this website?

I meant to say, do you guys have lives other than the internet?

Now now, let's be fair... the MN guys are sticking up for their friend, which is pretty admirable. If you were in Verbatum's shoes I'm sure you'd be happy if your friends stuck up for you too.

Personally, I think some of Verbatum's claims about his jet-setting game-playing PCB-toting Japanese teacher sound a little too good to be true as well, but enough people have chimed in about his game-playing skills, so it's hard not to believe that he's good at them.

Now if he'd only post some pics of the equipment that everyone wants to see the story can end happily.

Yeah, but this whole thread reeks of staleness...

Number 1. I'd NEVER in a BILLION FUCKING YEARS have my wife post on my behalf... she would probably think I was a degenerate if I asked her to defend my "game playing skills" on the internet.

Number 2. I don't care about how good he is at games, not 1 time in this thread did I ask him for proof or pics or anything.

Number 3. +1

Id love to see "Slasher" complete castlevania

All these fuckers from MN are a little cliqueish and wierd though

C'mon

Tonk is sort of right- like they all hang out and know each other and shit

Like if the Peanuts gang all met each other over the 'net and lived in Siberia together, going to see every new movie and defending each other's online reps

After reading Verb's pal's responses I'm thinking that shared foreskin maintenance and obligatory full release are not far behind

Oh, and Bobak- we all know your an honorary member of the 'Icicle Bunch' too- traitor

Well, Charles Schultz is from St. Paul and he did start writing it here... so the example is particularly well suited.

You sad little thing... you sound like you need a friend. I'll keep a space reserved for you at the next MN Neo Geo party. :kekeke:

Yeah I've got several friends outside of the Neo Geo dorks, but hey, these are good people and they have been my friends for a long time. We all have relatively common interests outside of gaming so of course we hang out.

Meh, besides all that, I'm here for some info about Castlevania. Where are the fookin' FAQ's!

HA! That's not a cross... it's the weight of that freakin' sub-arctic proof parka your always wearing. A few more years here Bobak, and you'll be wearing shorts in March when it hits 45 with the rest of us.

I got owned by Medusa in stage 2, I also got owned by the flying Medusa heads, knocking me into the pit.

If you're talking about the original NES Castlevania, then the trick for an easy win on that stage is the stopwatch. Provided that you manage your hearts correctly, you can stop the flying medusa heads when you need to, and have enough left over to completely rock the boss. I mean, you can reuse the stopwatch to the point where Medusa doesn't get a single attack off the entire fight. Just don't get tricked into picking up a dagger after you have it. It drops from one of the candles early in the stage, I think.

If you don't want to burn hearts on the flying medusa heads, the trick is to wait in a safe area until 1 reaches you, either whip it or dodge it, then use the time you gained to move to the next safe area before the next one shows up. It gets easier after awhile.

Anyway... I'm certain that he can help with whatever Castlevania problems you were having TonK (in addition to telling you the programmer, producer, main artist, and musician of the particular game )

Look guys, Verbatum is an amazing person. Not just a good gamer, but a wonderful boyfriend, citizen, teacher, musician, magician, gardener, lover, journeyman plumber, home security specialist and entymologist. He one time made the entire Men's Choir at St. Paul Baptist simultaneously orgasm in their pants with his Acapella version of The Who's rock opera 'Tommy'.

He's a special, special person.

One time I was over with his girl and him and I mentioned casually I was having trouble orgasming through masturbation without picturing the piston-like asscheeks of Lakers star Kobe Bryant. Verb mentioned that he could help me by showing me "An overwhelming display of ghostly great white northern man ass"

Now I can climax when picturing white men. Thanks Verb- you're the best!
