[quote name='sixersballernum3']I think he was also the one who made a thread about buying the Wii, then continued to call it a gimmicky piece of shit in the DK Bongo Blast thread because Bongo Blast control scheme sounds like shit.[/QUOTE]

Yea, he was that one.

He was all "I FINALLY BOUGHT A WII YEA AWESOME I'M SO EXCITED!" then the next day in a Wii game thread he said something to the extent of "All Wii games are a gimmicky piece of shit"

I'm glad he came to that conclusion within one day of owning the system :roll:

He'd also fly off the handle for no reason and type in all caps about the most trivial shit.
 
[quote name='rabbitt']Thank you shrike.[/QUOTE]Seconded.

Oh, and rabbitt, guess who's coming to Austin for ACL (you're gonna hate me for this)? QotSA, baby.
I can't wait :D.
 
[quote name='AK85']Anyone in the OTT watch The Unit? Just checked speedy's dvd thread and CC is going to have it for $18 and was wondering if it was a good show.[/quote]

The Unit is an incredibly awesome show. Thanks for the heads up .. I'm gonna have to grab that.

Its a good show but I never go into it to much. I've seen about 5 or 6 episodes.

I'm going to have to get a haircut soon. My red locks are being to flow in the wind. Well not really but its time for a haircut.

It is from the ad starting on 5/20, so you still have a little bit, but I was just kind of curious after seeing the thread.
 
The Reds need better bullpen pitchers who won't give up the game. I swear about 8+ of our losses have been because of our shitty bullpen. I don't even want to watch the games anymore. We will start winning then a relief pitcher will give up the game.

I'm excited for my wii. I need it know, I need to go to the store, and get the lan adapter before it comes. I've already got some ethernet cord laying around I can use.
 
Pyrogamer also made a thread complaining about how "gameplay" is the worst word in the history of the gaming industry.

I don't remember what I replied with, but it should have been "I think Pyrogamer is the worst word in the history of the gaming industry."

On that note, re: replay value. Man, you people are CAGs. I bet you have a huge backlog as is such that replay value should never be considered something to worry about it, because you've always got new stuff to play. At least thats how it is with me. And yeah, I realize I'm speaking only for myself here.

Well I'm out for a while. It is my dad's birthday and my gf are meeting him and my mom for dinner. I got his the Godfather trilogy. One year I got him Chariots of Fire, back when it was discontinued and the only copy I found was shipped to me from Canada. Then they reprinted it. fuckers. Oh well.

Yeah I just posted in that thread. There's a lot of great deals at CC that week. Wire Season 1 is a must buy at $17.99 as well.

Sorta, when I first joined here any game that was on sale for under $10 I bought. I then ended up with a gaming collection of games in the hundreds. I had some 50 sealed games at one time. Then middle of last year I realized that I'll never get around to playing them. So I took them to EB during the trade 3 get an extra $10.

I ended up with $700 store credit which lasted a year. But now replay value matters to me. Cause I'm keeping my next gen collections small. I have about 30 360 games, and I would like to keep it under 25. Cause I know from last gen that I'll never play all of them fully. I still have game on PS2 that I'm halfway through. Have been for 2 or 3 years now. Won't ever go back.


So yea replay value means a lot to me. I don't want to pay $50 for something thats only good for one play through. I want a reason to go back, and spend more hours on a game.

Damn dude, I have like 9 next-gen games to my name right now, and less than 40 previous gen total.

It boggles my mind how many games some of y'all have.

:shock:

And for the first 6 months to year at this site I went crazy with game acquisitions whether it be through trades or purchases. It was more about the hunt and getting stuff cheaper than normal then it was about actually wanting the games. Thankfully I've outgrown that mentality but I still have an enormous backlog of games I havent even opened the case to yet.
 
I have 7 Wii games, including Wii Sports. That's it for "next gen".

I have a decent number of PS2 games and a few GCN, and a lot of DS. Some GBA. I should redo my IGN collection sometime.

I think i have like 200 games i haven't played yet :D (more if you count pc games)
Yet I still have my eye out for a 360.....which i already have about 8 games for.

I've got some serious backlog. If the game industry collapsed tomorrow and there were no new games being produced I could probably get by on my backlog for 2 years at the very least.

It's humid as nuts here in central PA as well. I think all the thunderstorms have passed though.
 
[quote name='sixersballernum3']41 PS2 (I really need to play Dragon Quest), 13 GCN, 46 DS, 23 GBA.[/quote]
Be prepared to set aside a whole hell lot of time for that game. I think it took me 120+ hours to beat it. Then again I did a lot of unnecessary grinding.

Damn.

I dunno when I'll play it, but I will eventually. Maybe this summer.

Just clocked something like 36 hours... My hero is level 36ish and I just pounded Dhoulmagus into the ground. fuck that motherfucker. fucking jackass.

Because of this site, and the $700 in store credit I had. I went crazy buying stuff. A lot of the games I've bought for the 360 have been under $30. Only games I remeber paying full price or close to full price ($50-$60)

Oblivion
Battlefield 2
MLB 2K7
Call of Duty 3
Smack Down Vs Raw 07
Tony hawk Project 8
Saints Row
GRAW 2
Gears of War

Remember I did have $700 in store credit at eb. So I didn't really pay for those games.


Everything else was obtained for under $30 off of ebay, or from a deal here.
For example

Tiger woods 07 $20
The outfit $15
NHL 2K7 $20
College hoops 2k6 $10
Table Tennis $20
Top Spin 2 $20
Gun $10

plus some other unmentioned under $25 titles.

I'd say you're about halfway through the game. Maybe a little less.
 
Quillion Just called me on my cell phone. He's at walmart and they have a Wii in stock. He asked me if he should buy it. I told him yes, I just bought one. He wants to buy it but he's on the edge.

I told him yes, he told me I was supposed to say no. I said look man I just impulsed bought one yesterday from Amazon. I'm not going to be alone in that boat. :D he is a big Nintendo fan, not a fanboy but Nintendo makes his favorite stuff.

I thought the First One was good, while not the best zombie movie ever, it was quite enjoyable, anyone heard anything good about this one?
 
Sorry to ask the same question again....but what the hell happend to the dating thread? I cant even find it when I look at my post history. I wanted to show someone.

mod proly deleted it.

the interracial one? I was just looking for it too.

I suspected nothing good would come of it...and that is probably what happened.
 
[quote name='PlumeNoir']the interracial one? I was just looking for it too.

But nothing all that bad was happening in it.

I read almost every post in that thread and it was far more tame than the average OTT.


Thats kinda bullshitty.

Well one night someone made a white chick or Asian chick thread, and a mod deleted it. So I'm guessing they won't allow it for the small chance it might turn into something bad.
 
[quote name='musicnoteless']no interracial love? And we were getting along so well in there...[/QUOTE]

It does seem overzealous to delete but what can you do.
 
But the OTT isn't just a racial debate. It may wander there, but it wanders away. A thread about race exclusively won't wander from that topic, so if it's something they don't want discussed they'll get rid of it. The OTT and a specific thread aren't really comparable.
 
around 8 i cracked open ChibiRobo for the first time and threw it in. i must admid, i'm more entertained by it than i thought i would be. lionhart too. he's playing now and managed to blast his way into the carden. We've only been playing for about 2 "days" in the game, mind you.
 
[quote name='dallow']Well, the cute white girl that I've had the longest crush on in the cafeteria was really nice to me today.

I had given up on her over a month ago. My random chats with her were going nowhere.
I had even made her a mix CD that wasn't received with very much enthusiasm.

Sigh.

So eventually, I stopped talking to her, still smiled and nodded hello when I saw her. And that was that.

But today, she seemed very happy to see me, she even said my name!
We had a quick, very pleasant conversation, we both laughed and smiled at each other.
It's made my day, but what does it mean?[/QUOTE] It means you should probably just cut your penis off now. You're never going to use it anyway. ;)

Well, not just that, the OP (who was it again?) started out with a very vague question. It was somehting like "What are your experiences?" and I called him on that. Experiences with how others percieve you? Experiences with the first time parents met?

It is a woman or man - overall, dating an asian is little different than an irish person or a black person. More important (and relevant) is the differences with culture, lifestyle or attitudes of the different race and the coming-together.

I like to think we're decades past the "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" phase...but in my travels through the country (especially in the, as Bill Hicks said, towns that only aliens visit because they're so small and backwater), we're far from that, sadly. I live in the state with one of the biggest predominately black citites, but on the other side of the state, I have been called a half-breed. My wife's MySpace page was getting email one time by wanna-be Klanners making nursery rhymes of my son hanging from tree. Nice.

That is why I figured that the topic would end badly. Not so much CAG, but the U.S. as a whole has a long way to go as far as tolerance goes. It's better to call it quits before some knucklehead says the wrong things and everything blows up.

EDIT: Sorry for that semi-rant. I wanted to say it yesterday in the original thread, but bit my tongue to see where it would go. I'm pleased (but not surprised) that Sood said it was tame.
