Co-worker: Hahaha. I thought you left; the lights were off, your chair was empty, but the game was still playing -- you were sleepin' under the table!

"Table"... rofl
 
[quote name='Brak']Tony Hawk's American Sk8land was, surprisingly, the shit... albeit disposable, like all of the other DS games I've played.[/QUOTE]I don't know of any game, in the history of gaming, that isn't "disposable". :lol:
 
I'll put it this way: DS games have, on average, 3 hours of gameplay -- if you're lucky.

Nintendogs had, like, 3 minutes of gameplay, before you realize that the technology is pretty "neat" (and only "neat"), but not fun at all.

Animal Crossing and Mario & Luigi had the most gameplay, I thought. Well-worth the ride... but never worth picking up again.

Super Princess Peach... wow. I hate describing Nintendo stuff as "kid games"... but, wow; I beat that shit in, like, two hours -- effortlessly. I should have known better, though.

Replay value, to me, is limited to multiplayer for the most part. Something I have no interest in on a portable.

The last decently long game (15 hours) I finished was Resident Evil 4, over a year ago. I usually don't make it past the initial hour before I set a game aside, forever. :lol:
 
There are many games outside the conventions of levels, though. I'm starting to shy away from level games, as nobody seems to make them like they used to -- like Super Mario Bros. or Kid Chameleon; no matter how many times you beat them, or come close to, you sit down and play through it again. A lof of games in that mold, today, don't have the same simplistic charm, and come off too heavyhanded in the wrong areas.

I have 90 hours on Oblivion... and I haven't played it in a week. I'm not anywhere near done.
 
It's funny how Brak has become more and more anti-Nintendo in the last few months. Mostly since coming here.

Don't deny it, fucker.

How do we know that you're not becoming more and more pro-Nintendo and your perceptions are all that's changing?

THE WUP BOYS

MySpace comment, from a girl: WTF is the hammer for? And how come he looks like a sticker?

http://myspace.com/wupboyz

I can't believe I went to high school with some of these assholes -- I guess that's what you get when you go to public school; richy preps, alienated suburban kids, thugs, hillbillies, etc. When worlds collide.

A funny thing about the Wup Boys, and I read this in the paper a couple years after I graduated: they got AIDS. You see, the Wup Boys are a rap group... but doubled as a gang (and some of the gang stories I've heard are a riot). They had a gang house (in the hillbilly portion of town), and shared two or three girls -- someone had AIDS, and you can't see where it goes from there.

Natural selection acts in strange ways.

I used to pick on them back in high school, too. I'm lucky I didn't get shot. :roll:

"Wup" stands for "Wild Uncontrollable Playaz", by the way.

God damn, I hated high school.
 
Half of those guys are trying to compensate for being in band camp most likely.
 
Nah. The band kids in my town are into that screamo horseshit. These kids are straight-up ghetto / hicks.

It's funny that they're embracing eachother.

well when no one embraces them, they have to embrace themselves.

It's so weird, though. I thought they'd be mortal enemies, and only embrace around the time of the county fair.

Thinking of this just brought something to mind. I too live in a Hick town and there is a group of like 4 emo rock kids, there used to be like 8 of them, but I guess the other 4 realized how pathetic they looked. Anyways now there are 4 of them and they were in my store the other day and the were looking at some guns. Anyways This one kid had all black on with a died red pony tail mowhawk thing and a red bandana. Probably about 16 years old. I ask him if he needs help with anything and when he turns around to look at me, I kid you not, the kid was cross eyed, and half retarded! I would say fully retarded but he talked normal so I'll give him the benefit and say he was only half.

I just found this to be the funniest shit in a while, a cross eyed retarded emo kid! :rofl:
 
[quote name='beerguy961']My roommate's brother likes emo music but hates emo people. I don't know how that works out.[/QUOTE]

I think it might be something along the lines off like how I like watching lesbisan porn, but hate women.

Good point. How can I expect emo people to respect themselves when nobody respects them? I think this is my view of punk music; I like the Sex Pistols and the Clash, but those loser freaks that go to the shows?
 
You guys ever get the feeling that if you think about something the opposite of what you want/expect happens? "'Trust-' 'fuck Trust!'" "She's sneaky and smoked out. And its starting to show." You see where I'm going with this.
 
Hey guys I havent been posting much anywhere lately cause college life is a bitch and my girlfriend has been keeping me busy. So I got a new job doing dispatch for executive transport group, not a bad job just anwsering phones all day but today on a sunday I have a 12 hour shift...ill be here from 7 until 7 and probably wont have access to the internet all day. Whats worst is that last night I went to see the World/Inferno Friendship Society and got to sleep around 2....so I have to work a 12 hour shift with 4 hours of energy....sucks.

The emo people I have seen at shows are just so typical and irritating. They talk too fast, are too loud/obnoxious and have more pep than a bottle of pepsi. It makes me physically ill to be around these people, but there is good and bad in every scene.
 
I think I need to stay away from the Internet until Nintendo's E3 press confrence....

That being said, I'm not sure if I'll have internet access when I move into my apartment a week after that. It'll be random visits to the local McD's and stealth posts from work. I'll miss this place.
 
So my cellphone is jacked up. My friend tried to call me 2 times within 5 minutes when I had 5 BARS!!! and the call didn't go through to my phone. Should I smash it and get another?
 
I got 6 and a half hours to go before I'm free, did all the freebies in the contest forum and now I'm just looking at games. Can any of you recommend a game thats a quick playthrough, action/adventure style game for either ps2 or gc, something interesting and affordable. Also anyone enjoy fight night round 2?
 
My brother's friend's girlfriend wanted her boyfriend to pitch the idea of all of us pitching in for an apartment / townhouse. She said she'd cook dinner and clean.

It'll be like moving out... but still having a mom. :whistle2:k

Original Prince of Persia? I think I beat that in about 7 hours and it was very enjoyable.

I'm at work now. I don't want to be here... On the plus side, I picked up a non-GH version of God of War at Best Buy for $14.99 after GGC.
 
Finally got around to playing Soul Caliber 2.

Forced to take a break, or else I'd chuck the controller at the wall.

=\

Unless you're talking about Prince of Persia for the Apple II, I'm kind of pissed off. It's like all of those kids that think RPGs didn't exist before Final Fantasy VII.

Oh yes, this will obviously end well.
Hmm. The smart money would probably guess that the brother's friend is probably some obsessive and possessive asshole who'll pitch a fit that anyone is spending time with his girlfriend when he's not there.

My guess is that within 3 months someone will want out of the lease, either because they learned they don't have any more privacy than they did at home (where rent was free) or because they can't pay rent that month for reason X.

He's actually one of the weirdest human beings I know.

Imagine Charlie McCarthy (the ventriloquist dummy) meets Kevin Bacon. He plays table-top games, is quiet and has neatly parted hair.

He thinks I'm a comical genius, and I've done this numerous times to him, where I push his buttons, and piss him off... and then tell a joke, he laughs and all is better. Wash, rinse, repeat.

The two brothers actually had an apartment a couple of summers ago. My friend brother met some girl online, who looked like Hellboy (and I'm not kidding), and just up and left my friend to fend for the rent on his own. He didn't have enough money to pay the rent (or the lease), so he had to move out, and the apartment complex sued the two brothers.

I know my friend wouldn't ditch, but his brother... well, he's done it before. I don't know about the girl, though. On the contrary, I usually see them stick to whatever financial binding they're in, even if it's a fucking rip-off.

I'm thinking about suggesting living in the same complex; I'll room with my friend, and the brother and girlfriend can room together. Then we'll just live near eachother... or something.

I hear you. I guess I should've been more specific... the original PoP from the recent Trilogy.
 
To those of you who have imported Naruto: GNT, a few more questions:

which site is the best to go through, in your opinion: lik-sang, play-asia, another choice I haven't heard of?

also, I know you need to get a loader disc... are there different versions and if so, which one would you recommend?

Thanks.

My suggestion would be that if you really want to move out that you don't have your name on the lease but rather sub-rent part of the apartment through your friend. It would be easy for them to kick you out if they wanted extra space but you can't easily be sued if the lease is broken.

Yeah. My friend (the one who got sued, thanks to his brother) suggested to sub-rent through him -- this was before his brother and his girlfriend debuted their idea.

I wonder if they can even have their name on a lease, though. I thought they looked into that shit. I don't want my fuckin' name on a lease, involving other people.

Shit-ass thing, too -- my friend and his brother had a couch surfer (another friend), who they were trying to get rid of. We wanted to get a house next door to my current home -- a new house, too -- but we wanted to get rid of the couch surfer, so he wouldn't butt-in. It was only $900 a month. 3 bedroom, one bathroom, kitchen, living room, some weird extra room and a basement. Would have been charming; the shit-ass thing being that it's not available any longer.

I could walk next door for homecookin', too... :B

Typically if you have "bad" credit you can still get an apartment you just won't be able to get the best apartments and they will require more money up front. For example I only had to pay first month's rent and a deposit for my place whereas someone with poor credit might be required to pay first months and the last 2 months rent plus deposit for the same place.

That's why I'd caution you, perhaps they're having problems finding a place and your good credit would help them out.

Yeah. Around these parts, you pay a deposit, first months rent and get nailed with a lease. In their situation, which was similar to the one Strell posted, they had to pay the entire rest of the year's rent, even though they didn't live there.

The lease was in my friend's name, and his brother, who dicked him, payed through my friend. Come to think of it, because the issue was resolved, my friend's credit wasn't harmed. My friend and I have talked about getting an apartment, but have never looked -- save for the house next door. We kind of dropped it for a while, until his brother appeared with his girlfriend's plan. (She got kicked out of her joint-apartment deal for the "we want more space" excuse you mentioned).

I can tell my friend is avoiding the issue, but I can also tell he really wants to move out of his current living situation, and hints that him and I should get a dump... And I don't know if I want to live with his brother. Although he looks like a youngman from the '50s, he's a sloband his bedroom smells like sharpe cheddar, for some reason.

And living with three other people... privacy is a big issue, to me.

But do you really want to move? Sounds like you'd like a bit more space and privacy, the cost however is going to be higher and it's going to require a lot more time in matinence and upkeep.

That's my biggest dilema. I'm not sure, yet... gotta do more thinking.
 
Brak knows he can come live with me if he wants, or at least around here. Especially given the changes around here that he's aware of.

The move would be a bitch, though. Plus he knows I'd be using him for his 360.
