In this very special edition of Letters, Slush lost 75 percent of his due to computer problems, so if you wrote a letter and sent it to him, chances are it's not here. Sorry, bud-deeee...
1.I was in Scribes again. Cool, I'm starting to get through to them.
2.I'm not discussing BFD until my parents make a decision.
3.All right, I think we've waited long enough for the Banjo codes. Does it
really take 4 MONTHS for a game to be translated for each country? Rare
hasn't commented on their site on the matter in the least. They really need
to say what the deal is or I'm giving up all hope on a connection.
4.What's your opinion on all the Nintendo/Sega rumors? I personally don't
think Sega will be bought by the big N, but they're definitely going to make
something special for Gamecube.(I'd die for a Sonic Adventure game on a
Nintendo system...)
5.Pokemon Stadium 2 comes out in March. Pokemon Crystal comes out in late
summer. Pokemon Advance may make it out before the year is over. The
gaming world is hooked on Pokemon Puzzle Challenge. The 3rd movie comes out
in March. Doesn't that make you happy?
6.Have you played Paper Mario? After an addiction like no other, I finally
beat it Friday night. REALLY good ending.
7.Are you sad at the lack of news on DK-centered games?
Cheerio,
-Behonkiss
Chad: 1. Yay! Mindless Mr. Pants fodder for all! I swear, thanks to the general write-in public of Scribes, that character has been stripped of all humor.
2. Well I got it, so asses to you. Seriously, though, good luck in your underage Conker quest.
3. The game still isn't out worldwide, sir.
4. Yeah, Sega's definitely a third party, what with the 11 Xbox titles announced. Expect Sonic's Photoshop Adventure screenshots to grace the web soon, in which Miles is kidnapped by Robotnik, and only Sonic and Knuckles can wield lens flares to blind their foe, letting Miles make his getaway. And sure, there's going to be some inevitable GCN titles.
5. Actually, yes. I already bought Stadium 2, and I plan to see the movie next Friday when it comes out. If you oppose me, screw you off a cliff.
6. Played it, haven't beat it. Good game.
7. I'm more sad over the lack of a properly working News submission script. Our server administrator had better get off his lazy ass and fix that soon...
hey do you know any single cheat for dk country for game boy colour at all if you do send em this way THANX HEAPS
-sincerely mike
Ben: As I am an L33T HAXX0R, my kewl cheatz for "dk country" will be too L33T 4 u. So, let's pass this on2 Chad
Chad: There are none.
need any cheats ya got for DK country for gameboy colour.
-Michael Lane
Slush: Smash the cartridge with a hammer. This code breaks your game.
This morning on Z100, New York's #1 radio station, this lady called in to
win tickets to some concert. Then, this kid screamed in the background, and
the DJ asked why is he screaming. The lady said, "oh, he wants to play
Donkey Kong." And then, the DJ goes, "Yeah, I'd scream for Donkey Kong too."
So u see, even 40-something DJs will scream for Donkey Kong.
-an observation by Lemoniefresh
Chad: Thank you for that.
ZomerdagDo jou want to e-mail me how to get the new character.
( Vanilla Ice ore somting )
Please e-mail me today..
-Stephan van der Beek
Slush: Right...
hi Chad!
I am a crazy mom on a mission.
My special needs son has collected all of the lunchable boxes that were out
in September 2000 with Donkey Kong characters. He has lost the Lanky Kong
and Donkey Kong boxes and is going Ape! Do you have any idea where I can
purchase some more? Is the Kraft Company still producing them? We have
searched every local grocery store!
Help!
-Becky
Chad: Well, Becky, in the height of DK64 fame I bought all those boxes and wrote an article about them. I don't think they've been produced for well over a year now, but you could try eBay to see if anybody's selling the boxes.
Hey Ben!
I've got word from Rare that Conker's Other Bad Day will be at this year's E3. Expect to see it there.
-~BaronKrusha
Ben: Geez! I haven't even played the first one yet, and already you want me to play the sequel? What is this world coming to? Why, back in my day, we played the games in order (well, there was that case with Super Mario Bros., where I played 1, 3 and then 2... and I haven't played Mario RPG but I HAVE played Paper Mario...) and we were grateful with what we had! We only had four buttons and a + Control Pad! None of this fancy L R Z X Y stuff. Pshaw. Honestly, what will you expect next? Force feedback? Dvd cutscenes? Infra-red wireless controllers? Honestly, now you're just talking crazy talk..
Why am I emailing you? Information that I received from the Student Search Service of the College Board (the people who administer the SAT) suggests that you are the type of student who could do well at Fordha---
-John W. Buckley, Dean of Admission
Chad: Whoa there, cowboy. You're supposed to send this to my junk mail address.
Sorry about my last letter, i can not remember WHAT i was on at the time, although the fact that i don't remember is a bit of a hint.... I happen to highly agree with Steve Marseille from your last edition of letters, because i happen to read biritish humor almost daily. I have read about half of the 25 book and growing Discworld series, written by famous Brit Terry Prattchet. They are all extremly funny, and have helped me in identifying Birtish and American humor Differencs in Jokes, Or all Kinds of unEdited material.(BAD JOKE). and on an ending note, to keep this other kindly/author/comedian/arist from going broke, WORSHIP THE COMIC!
FROM,
-Sean Riediger, the Mighty Really large jump/faster then average feet hero of HOK
Ben: Hrm...if you can't remember what you were on, you must have ground a valium into your coffee again. Puts you to sleep, but the after-effects are shocking. Just look at Chad. Anyway - I read and watch British humoUr (notice the U, heathen) too, and I think Chad bases his life on it. As for Slush, well, I don't know. Chad wasn't saying that no Americans watched British humour, he was saying MOST. MOST. As in the majority, but NOT ALL. *cough*
And sure, you've read half (only half?) of the Discworld series (I'll bet you don't have the games though, do you - DO YOU?), but you can't call yourself a true British humour fan unless you've read/watched any Red Dwarf book or show. Or Monty Python. You'd better get cracking, mister.
Yeesh, I feel like a bloody advertisement.
PS Hmmm...looks okay, but I like this one better. YOU MUST BE OVER 18!
Who was the girl in the conker comercial? Please tell me?
-blindryder@yahoo.com
Chad: What sort of pervert readers does this site attract? First furrotica, now no-name sex icon stalk attempts. Yeesh.
After a long absence, I have come back. That's right, Little Luigi has returned!
Things sure have changed around the site. New look, new webmaster (Congrats Ben!), a chat room, and uh, well I haven't really looked too much around but there will be plenty of time for that.
Where the hell have I been, you ask? Well, the mushroom kingdom has been quite busy as of late... Actually, I sold my old computer and I finally got the time to buy a new one.
Well, I'm going to Paper Mario...
-Little Luigi
Ben: *thunderous applause*
Congratulations on your return, Little Luigi! Nice to see you again! Yes, we're all quite proud of the new look (it certainly was for the better), but I wouldn't go as far as to call me a "webmaster". Perhaps "Web-content-editor/lackey" would be better.
Off to Paper Mario, eh? What a coincidence... ;-)
There should be a section of your site commemerating running gags such as YBK
and DKvine's image war, Pikachu mutilatings, and "What's the Deal With That
Connection" which has all the pictures of Piakchu killings, all the letters
that featured "What's the Deal With That Connection" and all thediffrent
images and stuff on DKvine and YBK that involve the image war.
Just a suggestion.
-Grllawoyer@aol.com
PS: How did YBK and DKVine's image war even start, anyway?
Chad: Maybe some day, yes. We really don't have a good section for something like that to go in. Please disregard the existance of the Features section.
P.S. I used an image from YBK for a B-K sandcastle code feature and gave credit. Their obviously inbred Bhlaab writer assumed no credit was given, and stole an image that I made from Slush's SSB2 feature, which had no relevance to their site, and no credit given at all. And things went down from there.
Dear chad, i just wanna say, about my "stop fighting with YBK" letter, i also sent that same message to all the other people at DKVine. You probably wanna start flaming the crap outta me, now. Well, i also sent letters to YBK saying to stop fighting with you guys. I just wanna say that this fight is senseless and has no point whatsoever that i can see. Not only that, but the 1st sighn of rivalry i could see in this fight was where one of the YBK people said that you used some of their pics. Now after that one little thing, you two start a war. Why? You could have just taken the picture of and this would be over with. Well, i'm not aginst either one of you. You both have great sites with a hilarious sense of humor. I guess i prooved my point. If not, your'e odveously not reading this.
-plherrell@apex.net
Chad: Hi, plherrel! Welcome to DKVine!
hey i bought dk country about 2 weeks ago and i am stuck on tricky track treck you know the level with the mini escelator kinda thing with the squirrel related guys who fall on your head from that platform and way i need your help do you know any codes secrets cheats and hints fo the level
-Michael Lane
P:S i will have any codes ya got THANX HEAPS.
Chad: Trick Track Trek is a great level. The only advice I can really give is to try to use Donkey through the whole thing. Near the end you'll have to take out some Klumps, and with your limited space on the platform, you really don't want to attempt Diddy's roll.
Dear Chad of all creation,
If you make a game that i am in would you make me a large red zed.
-The Ever Demented Zinggy
Chad: HoK2? After the way the first was treated by the public? Wishful thinking, sir.
hello it's me pikachamp with a new e-mail address, and i happen to know how to get all 6(yes 6) eggs anbdn the ice key, and if you are nice to me i might tell you, and just to prove that i am not lieing i will tell you the first
go into the treasure trove cove and into the sandcastle then type ion cheat, finally type in "dont you go and tell her about the secret in her cellar" just take out the spaces and it will cause that barrel in mad monster mansion in the basemenbt place with the barrels thAT YOU bust open it's the barrel that had the metal X on it and you couldn't breakinto, it's open and inside is a blue egg
-pikachamp
Slush: WOW! Thanks for the info that would have been relevant if you sent it MONTHS ago, not to mention the fact that we've already stated we don't believe those codes are the geniune way of getting the secrets. It makes you wonder though ... what are the legitimate ways to get the Banjo-Kazooie Stop 'N Swop secrets? Maybe Bob Barker has the answer...
"I wanna pork my Barker's Beauties. When Rod says COME ON DOWN, I imagine them coming down on me. I'm such a horny old man. Let's play Plinko!"
Well, Bob Barker sure answered nothing. Who out there can give us a
clear answer? Tune in next time for "What's the Deal With That Connection?"
please excuse me, i have just read the page about the codes for the eggs and key and am sorry for sending that e-mail, but i have come tobelieve that if these codes can mess up your game then nintendo is in trouble because they published the codes in the official nintendo power magazine, and if these codes actually mess with the game and are not noirmal codes than it is very similar to gameshark (which i am strongly aposed to) and of course nintendo is against those kinds of codes.
-pikachamp
Slush: Nintendo Power is out of the loop when it comes to the secrets. They originally thought the connection was dead, before Rare said otherwise. These codes ARE in the game, so I can see why they reported on them. The thing is, Rarewhere hasn't yet. We still suggest holding off using them...
I figure it wasn't over seeing as both of you guys claim you won and used the
same stupid animation with only character changes. Let's face it. You guys
don't know when to stop do you? In other words, If you make fun of me for
liking the DKC TV Show I'll kill Klungo again whether you like it or not.
-Ness554@aol.com
Chad: Hello, Ness554! Welcome to DKVine. Wait, hang on, you're a not a newbie. Then perhaps you can tell me what the hell "Mepsipax" means.
Umm... Can I talk to you a minute? If you've been to the dance club Rock
Solid in Conker's BFD then you must notice that it's the same dance club as
the one in the Spaceworld 2000 Demo that featured Banjo, Kazooie, and Mumbo.
And those drones are actually those rock creatures. Please tell you knew
that. Because I think you need to fix the errors on the Banjo-Threeie page
and create a Conker's Other Bad Day page with this info. You've probably
heard me say this before but I'm just getting my point across. Thank you.
-Ness554@aol.com
Chad: You again? Any word on mepsipax? No? Well, sir, at the time that demo came out we really had no idea what the characters in CBFD were. Since the demo is in no way related to COBD, I don't think we'll be making that section until solid information is released.
You know in Scribes, Rare makes the titles of the games they make bold, and
the ones of the games they didn't make were in italics. When Banjo-Tooie was
first heard in B-K, they made them bold. In the December 22, 2000 edition of
scribes, on the Rare Game Expert's letter, he mentioned Banjo-Threeie, and IT
WAS IN ITALICS!
-
PS: I have nothing else to say.
Chad: Hmm, yes. Probably because it's not in production.
P.S. Door's that way.
I've read about the "debug" sandcastle floor codes. You wouldn't happen to know how to reverse the effect would you, say the sharkfood island code?
-arthurn99@yahoo.com
Chad: Put in a ton of the codes in succession and let Grunty format your cartridge. Haw haw!
yu know what would be realy cool? i think dkvine should focus ALOT more on mp3s
... coz one u make mp3s that are not in the official game soundtrack - they
become very popular.
i'm gonna ask you some questions now --
1) whats ur fav. game?
2) are u gonna buy a PS2, and do u like final fantasy?
3)do u like to hear game music on ur spare time?
4) what n64 games do u have?
5) where do u live? (i'm guessing... england?)
6) why do u keep on reading this?
7) you cant stop, can you?
8) whats the color of banjo's blue backpack : green, yellow or red?
9) how many gruntilda legs can u stuff in a yellow rabbit?
10) i can draw each character from bt/bk/dk64/conker/zelda/mario, you think i
can do a comics for ur site?
answer me those (especially 6 to 9) and write me soon,
so..like..goodbye.. i mean like.. now! (obviously!)
ba-bye
-ben shpayer
Chad: On new games that don't have corresponding Nintendo CD soundtracks, we'll likely grab MP3s.
1. If I hadn't grown up with DKC2, it would be Conker's Bad Fur Day. I'm just too attatched to Donkey Kong Country 2 to let any game take its place.
2. I will not buy a PS2. I've never played a FF game so I can't really give an opinion on the series, but I'm looking forward to the movie this summer.
3. Sho nuff, boss.
4. *phew* In no particular order, here we go: Super Mario 64, Zelda 5, Zelda 6 (with fancy holo label), Jet Force Gemini, South Park (it was a gift), Pokemon Stadium 2, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo-Tooie, Mario Party 2, Mario Party, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Mario Kart 64 (enough Mario already), and Super Smash Bros.
5. Houston, Texas. It's right outside of London.
6. Because Our Friend has me at gunpoint.
7. I fear for my life, sir.
8. plaid.
9. Twenty seven.
10. Probably not. You can always draw stand-alone pictures for Artwork though.
im doing my homework and need help whats kentucky's capital? (and if
cranky kong is the original dk in donkey kong how come mario is still
the same answer that one you idiot.)
-david@hda.com
Chad: Warwickshire. And th Mushroom Kingdom is like Peter Pan's Never Land in that the characters never age. mario and Luigi were sucked into the Brooklyn warp pipe shortly after the Donkey Kong arcade, which explains why they stay the same age when Cranky 'n' Co. don't.
I went saucy in my panties? Is this anything to do with the Great Mighty Poo?
Oh god I hope not. I hate his singing.
-Ness554@aol.com
Slush: I was thinking of more along the lines of what happens to most guys when they hit puberty, and get a little bit too excited. Assuming all guys just hitting puberty also wear panties.
This is Ivytoise2001, btw. Kris and I are sharing e-mail until i get off my lazy arse and make a new account. I don't know if you'd put this up, but it's a little fanfic I made based on you guys. If you like it, I was thinking of making it a series...
DKVine Adventures Episode 1: "Conspiracy Theory"
-Ivytoise2001
Chad: Whoa. I'm a bit frightened at how accurately you portrayed us. I had no idea we ever said publicly that Slush and I had Scotch lineage. Great job on that, and I certainly hope you submit future ones. The line, "Aye, today we're in bloody Africa looking for apes..." is too wonderful to not request more. You get the Mr. Mooney Award. Ye-us!
