Here a question.

How long do people think the N64 has left to live?

With games like Perfect Dark, Zelda: The Continuing Sage, Turok 3, A Resident Evil game, Top Gear Rally 2, and a bunch of other wicked games this year. How long will the N64 live for? Specially with the PS2 and Dolphin on the horizon how much longer can the N64 last?

The trouble with Squirrels is that they explode far too readily. Of all the tree dwelling creatures that could be used in an army, a small spider monkey would be the best, combining the agility of a squirel with the toolmaking ability of the lower primate.

Lets do a discussion on the history of monkeys in games - from the King Kong in Rampage to the N64 platfroming mayhem of DK64. Monkey games are the best!!!! HOORAY!!!!

I would like to share my impressions on Legend of Zelda: Mask of Majora, the upcoming 3D Zelda game. I had the chance to buy this game in Japan and I should say that this game is at least as beautiful as the Ocarina of Time. Even if you are one of those guys who collected every heart piece, every skultulla, every item, explored every possible place in the first game and still wonder what lies beyond Spirit Temple in your dreams, let me assure you that you won't be disappointed with this sequel. This one is not just a clone with vast worlds, but also has a different game design. However, just don't rush to buy it from import unless you trust on your japanese, otherwise you won't be able to see this game's charming worlds, since your time is limited to only three days to stop the moon falling on earth, and if you can't figure out how to travel in time it really falls. Instead I would say to preorder it from this day on, to be sure that it is in your hands at the day it gets released. Take my word, there is just coming another best game for N64.

hhhmmm, play-squirrel?? I havn't heard of that, it might work.
AAAAAHHHH, what do you mean that PD does not live up to the hype?? theres a song I couldn't sing, but you know what??.....I won't. you probably wouldn't know it anyway. I havn't yet played the full game, I have only had the chance to blow things up on the challenges and Multiplayer modes, i can tell you that playing 2 players on a 4 player screen is not good for your eyes, and i really want to kill as many of my mates at the same time as possible, they're getting really bored of me killing them one after another!!! one question, did you ever take on 3 mates at the sma etime on Goldeneye?? it's great, they all gang up on you at the same time, but because your better and faster and you have most probably played the game a million times and know every millimetre of the level, you can run away and blow them all up at the same time!!!! I want to do that on this game, but maybe I'll use a remote missile, or trap them with a N-Bomb and then waste them with a cyclone discharge!! how can you say this game isn't good, you obviously played Goldeneye too much and realise it's the same type of thing! except on Goldeneye you can't play against 11 other people at the same time on a mulitplayer challenge!! oh and did you realise that there are over 40 massive weapons, they had this on Goldeneye but you included all the doubles, and every gun could be doubled!! so really Goldeneye only had about 20-25 individual guns, PD has 40!! and you have to be able to perfect them all!!!
I can't wait until the 26th then I can experience the full capabilities of the N64!

By the way, do you think that I should order a copy of the play-squirrel?? it might just be the edge that I need to get those fluffy tailed rats! I have everything set, my bomber pidgeons are set at my window sill, and my army of ants and termites are ready to make them itch for all their worth! plus my trusted hampster is ready to climb the winding pipes of their tree to sabotage their nuts.
The magazine might be needed to keep them inside the tree while my troops go to work.

I've had a better idea to protect from the squirrels (whatever statistics show, they'll always be mainly red, not grey, to me). I will soon be implimenting it at my place.
Take the nuts, peanut butter and copies of play-squirrel magazine and hide them in your neighbours garden, thus any squirrels wandering through your premises will be tempted to the other side of the fence to bother someone else, and if you get rumbled for the scam, you get to be on TV. 'Neighbours from hell'. Great.
I think this midnight I'll get the ladders out and spread a peanut butter trail up the side of the house next door (with a small rope ladder) leading to a hole I will make leading into their attic. Then I will fill their loft with all the previously mentioned squirrel goodies, and I will be protected for ever.

On the not being playing perfect dark for ever note, it wasn't as good as I expected (not to say it isn't a good game, it couldn't live up to all the hype for me) and so I'm back with less battered fingers than I anticipated.

I don't get you?? your full of these strange stories, they're funny I have to admit, but I want to know if your like this when your around mates, or if this is where you can change your identity and get away from the hustle of modern life, whatever happened to you not talking on this site, you said that when Perfect dark arrived you would vanish to the depths of your house with your cart and TV and hibanate in the corner eating chocolate digestives! well maybe that was a little exagerated, i have been told a million times not to exagerate!
Anyway, back to your squirrel army idea, it's a brilliant scheme to take over the world, because no one but squirrel experts would dare to confront them head on! but in the other hand, ol' farmer jiles would take his tractor and his loaded 12 bore and kill a few of the tiny rodents! they're not indestructble, that is the only flaw in this ingenius plan! maybe you can write to the Warner Bros studio and make up a script for `pinky and the brain!` If you havn't had squirrels before and I don't think you have in according to you last letter, then you should take drastic precausions as soon as possible!!
Build a 10ft concrete wall around your hause and then employ your own highly trained army to gaurd it, plus add some tiny holes in the wall for archers to shoot from(purely optional, but has a great affect!) get rid of all squirrel temptations from your house, these include: penut butter, nuts, mini TV+Video sets(the ones in your little sister's doll house) Perfect dark and Goldeneye carts(this is they're way of making the world fall to their feet) I stopped them quickly in their tracks when the mother of squirrels got mine! and last but definately not least, underpants!! they use these for their runny noses and blankets, obviously not at the same time because that could get messy if you have a cold and can't move from your bed!
TAKE PRECAUSIONS AND BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THE GREY MASSES!!!!

I am now off to to the kitchen to make myself a breakfast! there is no one in my house so i can plug my N64 into my dad's new widescreen TV and munch on some tasty walnuts.

You know that if you invited all the squirrels into your house to live with your family they wouldn't need to take your house apart and rebuild it in a tree, and you could probably get some rent from them, albeit in the form of nuts and stuff. But then you'd have all the nuts you'd ever need cos you could fill the place with a thousand squirrels and every day send them out to get 25 nuts each before you'd let them in again in the evening, and then you could eat the nuts, or sell them on and get real money to fund a garden shed where you could keep still more squirrels, and get more nuts and before long you'd have a huge squirrel filled castle reaching thousands of miles into the sky and you could grow a nut orchard within the castle which the squirrels could look after in return for accomodation, then you could gather your now infinite numbers of squirrels into a huge tree-swinging army to storm the land, pilaging towns and cities with your rodent army, lead by yourself, and before you'd know it you could be king of the world, living a life of nuts, and now it'd be your captive human slaves who'd work for a living while you and the squirrels sat back and grew fat. The only problem would be that they'd eat all the honey nut cornflakes, and if you developed a nut allergy you'd be exiled to the north pole, the only region of the world the squirrels didn't claim for themselves, then a new squirrel leader would emerge, and would hunt you down and kill you with a primitive cheese grater to prove his power to his squirrel minions.
So maybe drowning the squirrels was best after all. Humanity just better hope the squirrels don't visit my place, nobody in my family could kill them, and the ancient prophercy would come true. That'd be bad.

I had squirrels up in my loft last year, those bloody rodents don't give up, there determined to detroy your house so they can make their's better, you know, they took out the insulating from my house!! anyway the point is they have very good lungs and can survive for long amounts of time underwater, we have this cage that catches squirrels and the occasional cat(dumb cats) but we fill this barrel in my back garden up with water and try to drown then, they take at least 3 minutes to kill, if you want to do this to full effect, don't get a tiny baby squirrel because they don't put up a good enough fight.

Okay, the good games theme. I've heard things about most, but nothing to do with Conker's BFD. I know what the letters stand for, and I understand that it's about a squirrel who runs around peeing on people. Huh. Well, at least you can call it original. It just seems like somebody made it up and pretended it would be a game, and the rest of this website joined in, cos there's nothing anywhere else.

Hang on, I promised a question. Okay, this joke I just remembered. I'll write it in 2 replies to this message. The question wil be;
Do you want to hear my squirrel joke?
