What to do with 250 bucks???
Well my brothers and I are pooling together 250 bucks and spending it on games for our Gamecube.  The only question is, which games should we get.  We are leaning towards Medal of Honor, Mario Kart, and NCAA March Madness 2004 so far, but we don't know what else...

Smash Brothers is pretty damn fun for parties. Soul caliber 2 is a pretty decent fighting game as well.

Oh, Mario Sunshine is great fun if you like those kind of games.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

X-Box and PS2 suck.  I'm going to buy Mario Kart, I've already decided.  I have Smash Bros. already, I just need other games.  Anyone else have any recommendations?

Eternal Darkness is a great game.  I don't have a GC myself, but I've played it with a friend.  Good stuff.  If you don't have the N64 version, I'd also recommend The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time + Master Quest.  Hands-down the best Zelda game ever.  Wind Waker was far too tedious with its sailing, and its plot turned the whole damn Zelda legend into a convulted mess.  F-Zero does indeed look awesome.  Metroid Prime is godly.  And Smash Bros. is a very fun game, provided you have people to play it with.

I would also like to note that PS2 does not suck.  <<;  Because of that system, I have my mecha fix satisfied.  Zone of the Enders, Robot Alchemic Drive, Gundam...  And let's not forget other classics, like Devil May Cry, the Metal Gear Solid series (yeah, so 2 was kinda loopy), the Final Fantasies..  I could go on for a while.  ^^;

Lol Shrike.  Well here's a list of the games that I currently own:

Metroid Prime (best game ever)
Madden 2004
NCAA Football 2003
Starfox Adventures
Super Mario Sunshine
Timesplitters 2
007:  Agent Under Fire
Super Smash Bros.  Melee
Wind Waker
Mario Golf:  Toadstool Tour
Sonic Adventure 2:  Battle
Splinter Cell
Eternal Darkness:  Sanity's Requiem

Tomorrow I''m most likely getting the following games:
Mario Kart:  Double Dash
Medal of Honor:  Rising Sun
NCAA March Madness 2004

That leaves me with room for one or two more games.   Oh, and no Resident Evil, my parents won't let me get it, although i've bothered them about it.

Bananas and Blow.

Sancho brought a message from the Fat Man
"Sorry, boy, to leave you high and dry,
but I went to see my mom in Ensenada,
and I left a little something to help the time go by
Just a little something to help to keep you high"

Bananas & Blow (oh - oh), Bananas & Blow
Stuck in my cabana, living on Bananas & Blow

Now the rainy season reminds me of Maria
The way she danced, the color of her hair
Now I'm locked inside a stall at the cantina
Eating the bananas and the cocaine off the mirror
Looking for a ticket to take me away from here

I got a GC last year.

Mario Kart is way fun, but alittle easy.
007 Nightfire is cool, alot better then Agent under fire
SSX3 is really fun, I only was able to rent it though
super monkey ball is a GREAT party game, you need 4 controllers though.

I wouldn't bother with Resident Evil anyway. Sure the graphics kick ass, but try killing that first goddamn zombie with the crappy combat-knife. Took me about 20 lives to figure out I was screwed no matter what I did and turn off the GC.

I suggest you get one of the Rogue Squadron games. I prefer Rogue Leader (Rogue Squadron 2).

There's nothing like blitzing TIEs using the TIE Advanced and its multi-rocket thingy you unlocked by finding the downed TIE on the training level.

Well I got Mario Kart and Medal of Honor.  Both are totally kick ass games.  I still have 100 bucks to spend, and i'm leaning towards Return of the King.  I'll have to rent F-Zero before I buy it.
