Stupid Kids
<div class="IPBDescription">and their need to cheat</div> I don't get it... what's every kid's obsession with "godmode."
My cousins, who're 9 and 13, constantly tell me about how they found a cool website with a million cheats. They also tell me about the cheats they found for GTA3. They watch me play DoD and they urge me to shoot my team mates just to see them die. These are the kids I'd just love to punch if I was playing NS or another online game with them.
Anyway, for the last few days, I've been playing FFVII again in my off time. When I got the game five years ago, I managed to have everyone with 9999hp, 999 mana, all limit breaks, defeated all the weapons, had a gold chocobo, knights of the round... everything. I was attempting to see how quickly I could do this again.
I spent 25 hours - 19 actually getting to the end, and an additional 6 collecting various items and breeding chocobos. All I had was to do some mad levelling for an hour or two to get Omnislash/Seventh Heaven/make 2xCut 4xCut before I could take on the Emerald Weapon.
I went out for lunch with my girlfriend today, and my cousins came over to my house to melt in front of the TV while their mom was at work. Of course, they brought their GameShark with them. I guesed they figured they'd be doing me a favor when I came home and saw that every single character had all limits, all weapons, every item in inventory, level 99 on everyone, with all of my materia mastered.
That's right, 25 hours of my freaking life are wasted because kids can't stop a cheating fetish where they cheat on OTHER PEOPLE'S GAMES.

On another note, younger kids tend to like the mentality that they're all powerful and thus like to be all powerful in whatever they do, whether it be games or being "king of the fort".
And another thing...I used to find it amusing to shoot team mates for the hell of it.

I find that Mime materia and Demi+ omni slash makes quick work of emerald weapon <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
that's the only way kids learn, and i know because my cousins are absolute horrors [i mean it.] and the parents have no control over them
bad parenting.
And if they don't stop I suggest you hide the Gameshark somewhere,I suggest putting it in a non-biodegradeable plastic bag and bury it in your backyard
Next thing you know they'll start whining about where's their Gameshark....but then again they could buy it,so you know the drill <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
But aye, i get what you mean,
I used to find cheats for games, but ONLY AFTER i had actually completed the game in the first place...
Now, the only reason i go to cheats websites is so i can find out how to get past this one annoying little bit....

I soon grew out of it once I got a PC and some games which didn't HAVE cheats.
GG simcity 2000 <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
(yes i realise SC2000 did have cheats)
I am seeing more games that only let you access cheats after completing it, which is fine by me. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Nay - I suggest you take that <i>Lameshark</i> or theirs and break it to bits <b>on their collective heads</b>.
*pssh* That's what I would do <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Hopefully they don't know how to connect but sometimes they do. Like a kid dosen't know that it's bad envolving to a gorge up in a vent then fall down, go skulk then envolve to a gorge again in the vent while the whole team screams out loud. (Note: example is 1.04)

Things I do:
Speed up ZSNES (I think about all snes games are to slow <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
save state liek a bastd for games that I am primarily playing b/c I like seeing the new parts and what not <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> (and b/c I hate having to back track)
I will also save state for those games that have stupidly hard parts (often b/c the engine is flawed)
And I am slo not above the ocasional god mode rampage just for the heck of it (I think we all like that <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
So basicaly, my REASON for playing games is diff. I like seeing new things, Alot of the times that is why I like playing games. I meen once I am god liek wit all de purdy toys der aint no reason to kep playn
hehe, ok, that last sentance was me being silly <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
That is sad...
i completed all the FFs i had before even looking at cheats...
i have guides to help me when i got stuck, but never reffered to them otherwise...
now try explaining the wisdom in this too a 9 year old with ADD
eventualy most people learn that they will get more bang for their buck if they actualy go through the game instead of simply cheating at mach 3 <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Aw the heck with it, I forgot where I was going with this... time to play some NS.

well, we all decided to activate our speed hacks (this is when they first became a serious issue b/c ANY one could find one. I ussed mine to kill speed hackers <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
