Doesn anybody know anything about Scientology?

[fredster]

YAAFM

It goes to show that people need some kind of hope.  That they need to believe that this is not all, that there is more to life than just life.

They want to believe that they can live on after they die, and that their problems can be solved and they are not at fault for what happens to them.

It's a fear of mortality. It's a fear of responsibility for your actions. It's fear, period.

But, it it works for Cruz, we can capitalize on this and make a few bucks.

Let's tell them we'll pay them back with interest in the Arcade in the sky....

[RayB]

Anyone here want to seriously start Arcadeology?
From what I have read, in order to qualify as a real church, we need at least a few followers. Then one of us can be ordained as a real minister of this church.

Hopefully "Wakka Wakka Wakka" can be our "amen"

[fredster]

I nominate RayB to be the Pope of Arcadeology.

Anyone second me?

[AC.]

2nd.
All in favor?
All opposed?

the ayes have it.  RayB is now declared pope.

I'll be the treasurer.  Start sending dues to my paypal account.

We even have the bible of arcadeology.

[Harry Potter]

That's a shameless plug Poonga.

[fredster]

Hail The new Pope!

Now you'll have to adopt a new name.

Like Pope Mario the first.

[SirPoonga]

That's a shameless plug Poonga.

You can't handle the truth yet.  You haven't bought leveled up enough to be told the truth.

What scientology does isn't a shameless plug?

Actually, the leader should be called "1UP" because he will guide you to receiving an extra life.

[AC.]

Has Saint entered his bid to run?

Has he sent the campaign-running fee to my paypal account?

[SirPoonga]

Why would he have to do that.  He wrote a book.  That was good enough for L Ron

[AC.]

Hmmm,maybe we should reconsider this arcadeology religion.  There is already too much disagreement and infighting.

On the other hand, Saint does not seem crazy enough to be an effective leader.  What are his views on the celestial origins of the code for Atari's Star Wars?

Galileo realized stars flickering was actually binary code?  That's the real reason people thought he was crazy, not the sun being center of galaxy thing.

Computer Techonlogy was only granted to us by the Galagans because they needed to contact us and train us for the impending war in space.

Against the bees.

Be warned, the swarms will be many.  Few will survive.

I htought it was the Galaxians?

[AC.]

Sir! we are loosing ships! What should we do?

Drop down one level and speed up.

[SirPoonga]

Instead of 8 operating thetans we have 255 levels (8bit, right?).  In order to achieve the next level you need to confront and conquer your inner "boss", collect something, or gain enough experience points..

[SirPoonga]

Sir! we are loosing ships! What should we do?

Drop down one level and speed up.

Drop down one level , reverse direction, and speed up.

[RayB]

You guys seem to be doing a good job working out the details.

Thats good stuff.  Next Level, inner boss, experience points. 
The negatives will be bad maps, clipping, lag.
After nirvana, after final completion, its GOD MODE.

[fredster]

Indeed you are wise SirPoonga.

Fygar has blessed you. To achive final credits, you must confront the boss.

Atari, chapter 2 verse 3: Dig at what has been dug.

Ummmmm, Zelda? Mario? Leisure Suit Larry? . . . . . ET?

No, the Chronicles of Arkanoid, Chapter X, Verse VI

You will move left or right just to stay alive, but if you do, good things will fall upon you.

I recognize that - Contra for the NES.  that code even works on the emulator version.

[SirPoonga]

Yep, and it works in so many other Konami games   Konami even uses in today's titles, like metal gear.

[fredster]

While cheat codes make life easier, do they really fulfill us?
Are cheat codes allowed on the way to final credits? No. They are not.

For cheat codes are hollow, and allow us only to pretend to walk the path.  We can claim no level, because they were given, not earned.

The great prophet Qbert was once quoted "@!#?@!" 

Indeed.

[AC.]

Thats right -- what place to cheat codes have in Arcadeology. 
I guess there does need to be good and bad.

[hypernova]

my memory tells me it was ^ ^ V V < > < > B A (select) start.  (select being optional if you were playing 2 players.)

using cheat codes will afflict you with pneumonia, (i think that's what the test said on xenu.net) because you will be taking in information that is beyond your comprehension!

the jedi can be our "brother" religion, on account of the star wars games.
