Today, I deem Bad Moon Rising from Creedance Clearwater Revival as the most appropriate song for the crappy weather we're having.

Man I think I remember some games in the Saturn/N64 era required cheat codes to unlock control settings. Who the hell thought that was a good idea.

I also remember Quake on Saturn having an unlockable 'Jevons Control Method' named after Dan Jevons (I think that was his name) from Sega Saturn Magazine. He suggested to the developers that they should have a control method that used the NiGHTS analogue pad for looking around, while usingthe buttons to move.

Years later, that became the standard for movement/look on Dreamcast FPS games. Pretty clever stuff, am I right?

Trust me, I know how you feel. When I first got my PS3 I was fucking angry about updating shit. I remember I was just going to return it but when you have them down its a smooth ride.

What games did you get?

Just wait until you get a job.

Speaking of which, what the fuck is with the ridiculous experience requirements for every job above entry level now? "Requires 5 years experience as CEO of a major International corporation, in the exact same industry, and preferrably with the same first 3 letters in the company name."

Thanks for the tip. I wish I had composite hookups but I'm kind of stuck with what I got. I actually found a D-terminal version of that with a swtich and everything for just a few 100 yen more. Oh well, I just figured I'd put all the game systems affected on a power strip with independant switches.

It seems to do the job well enough and helps keep my systems from siphoning off power when they aren't in use. My fat PS2 and 360 are horrible offenders at this as they are the primary reason the cable I have won't play nice. They draw power even when they are off.

But I did get a refund.

However, with a Easter's Greetings Sale for Street Fighter 4(for 7£), it's already been two full days and my order has been dispatched yet. Darn it.

I helped my uncle move a really really old sitting down style freezer through a few corridors throughout a basement and up a lot of stairs and out of his house into his garage. It is literally the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life, as it was just under 1000 pounds. My legs were shaking for hours after and right now I can literally feel all of my muscles expanding within every one of my fingers.

The worst part is that we had to stop halfway up the stairs and I had to balance it just right for about five minutes. Not only was I extremely exhausted by then, but the steps were about 5-6 inches long (never saw steps so thin in my life... Just my luck) I was in a section of the walkway that if I were to have dropped it, I would have instantly been decapitated between the ceiling and the freezer and the rest of my body would have been completely smashed, so that is pretty neat to think about!

At least I got a steak and cheese sub after, and I had not done anything with that uncle in a really long time, so it was nice to catch up on our lives after we moved some crap out of his house (the freezer was not all we moved!).

So Anna Paquin says shes bisexual, and yet she is engaged to a man.  :roll:
I'm assuming they're committed to each other, so whats the fucking point of "coming out" as bisexual when she will be exclusively f***ing a man for (presumably) the rest of her life.
It's like going to a restaurant and ordering the pizza, and then while you eat it you tell everybody "I also eat pasta, and I could have ordered it and eaten it". Well guess what, you ordered the pizza, you're eating the pizza, and unless you leave the pizza and reorder pasta you are stuck with the pizza.

They are based on what you google search, custom for each person.

The PS2 sold around a million, PSP around 450,000 and PS3 250,000.

Well, I did wax my chest and back recently, so I looked a little slimmer.

But no, the tires were too smooth, that is there is supossed to be a 0,006 inch of space between the tires and the tire marks, and I got a 33$ fine that will be mailed when I replace the tires(I haven't been fined yet, I have to fix the tires, go the police station to get their documents signed, get my papers back and then I will be fined.

Why do you shed the manly coat of hair? If I had a lot of chest hair, I would wear low cut shirts for the ladies to see.

Sadly, I'm not as fortunate.

I do it mostly, around late spring/summer time as that's ussually the time where my chest and back hair bother me a lot.

Long story short, but when Chris started the "deals" about the Kartel, it was not called that at all. They had like "Nerd Herd" in all the pictures I saw. Lame, I know.

They also had a way better deal in place, then it changed when Chris was away and G was in charged.

<MadeMan>: oh yeah, and also I found my long lost father, who happened to be guus hiddink, and he quickly committed suicide seconds before Aki-at returnd

<MadeMan>: It was horrible

<MadeMan>: I'm going to write a screenplay about it

<Aki-at>: OH SHIT MAN!

<MadeMan>: his death will not be in vain

<Aki-at>: That is pretty shitty =/

<MadeMan>: Yeah

<Aki-at>: At least you still have your fake father

<MadeMan>: you mean...

<MadeMan>: Arsene?

<Aki-at>: =OOOOOO

<Antikrist>: My father and Mother died when I was a kid, car crash

<Aki-at>: You are part French!??

<Antikrist>: my father used to drink and drive

<MadeMan>: My step father is Arsene

<Antikrist>: then on Oct 9th, they took their last ride

<MadeMan>: he took me in after guus hiddink lost me

<Aki-at>: Oh that...

<Antikrist>: I was 8 at the time, I had to move and live with my Grandma

<Aki-at>: So do you play at Arsenal? =O

<MadeMan>: Yeah

<Aki-at>: =OOOO

<MadeMan>: I once beat Manchester United by myself

<Aki-at>: Who are you?

<Aki-at>: OMG!!!

<Aki-at>: PATRICK!!!

<Aki-at>: ITS YOU!!!

<MadeMan>: I had to play Goalkeeper and Striker and Sweeper at the same time

<Aki-at>: What the fuck sweeper?

<MadeMan>: yeah

<Aki-at>: Some guy Austrilian term for winger I guess

<MadeMan>: no

<MadeMan>: I had to sweep up the stadium after the game

<Aki-at>: OHHHHHHHHH

<MadeMan>: we fired the janitors

<Aki-at>: YOU ARE EBOUE!

<Aki-at>: I know it!

<MadeMan>: because I did a better job

<Aki-at>: Ebouuuueeee!

<MadeMan>: yes?

<Aki-at>: But you never beat Manchester...

<MadeMan>: the game wasn't televised

<MadeMan>: because the Man Utd sponsors

<MadeMan>: were too embarrased

<MadeMan>: to see their team lose by so much

<MadeMan>: to one person

<Aki-at>: =OOOOO

<MadeMan>: I thrashed them 27 - nil

<Aki-at>: Eboue why are you never awesome on the televised games? =(

<MadeMan>: A handful of reasons

<Aki-at>: Such as?

<MadeMan>: I'm holding myself back so I don't get traded to another richer club

<MadeMan>: because I'm loyal to my team

<Aki-at>: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh =O

<MadeMan>: so I only play to my full capacity on the un-televised games

<Aki-at>: That makes sense

<MadeMan>: so that nobody will bid huge money

<Aki-at>: But wait...

<Aki-at>: I;;d rather you have one good seasons with us, win something and get sold for big bucks, then have no good seasons and win nothing =(

<Aki-at>: Also Arsenal are the third richest in the world anyway...

<MadeMan>: but I do win mad crazy games

<MadeMan>: but, the TV companies refuse to televise them

<MadeMan>: because the ratings would be shit if it was just me winning every week

<MadeMan>: so they don't televise the real games

<MadeMan>: and re-enact the games on Fifa 08 and televise that instead

<Aki-at>: So are we really winning everything then?

<MadeMan>: yeah

<Antikrist>: HELPING THE WORLD TO SEE

<Antikrist>: That this soccer talk is gay

<MadeMan>: we haven't lost a game in the last 4 years

<Aki-at>: 0.0

<MadeMan>: but FIFA has been providing false results to teh world to keep their ratings up

<Aki-at>: Shame about your real father though

<MadeMan>: its the single most elaborate and intricate conspiracy in the world

<MadeMan>: I have a feeling that Guus didn't commit suicide

<MadeMan>: but rather

<MadeMan>: he was Killed by Fifa, because he knew too much

<MadeMan>: he was going to go public and reveal everything

<MadeMan>: so they had Vieri kill him

<Aki-at>: OH SHIT THE ITALIAN?!?

<MadeMan>: yeah

<MadeMan>: he's actually an assasin

<Aki-at>: MUTHAFUCKER

<MadeMan>: a soccer player is just his cover

<MadeMan>: think about it

<Aki-at>: We should take him down Eboue

<Aki-at>: You and me

<MadeMan>: He travels the world, meets important people, has loads of money

<Aki-at>: And Fruits

<MadeMan>: its a perfect cover for an international assassin

<MadeMan>: I agree

<BuzzTron_451>: hi

<Aki-at>: But that's like every football player ever

<MadeMan>: you, me and fruits, and Maybe Buzz

<MadeMan>: we are going to blow this thing wide open

Just checked out Sega Uranus's 'The Sega Source' and I've got to say it... needs to find it's own niche. As it stands it's like everything already posted on SegaNerds and SegaBits with a smattering of Junkyard/Memories reviews and Sega history highlights.

I wish them the best of luck with it but... I can't see myself visiting it often. Now if the blog focused on the star employees and divisions, THAT I'd visit often.

like: 'Sega Legacy' focusing more on the business aspect, or highlighting Sega devs and their impact on the industry.

like: 'Sega Legacy' focusing more on the business aspect, or highlighting Sega devs and their impact on the industry.

What I and the staff set off to achieve is a more robotic, factual approach than most gaming sites do, like Joystiq or Kotaku. Notice how they make jokes constantly or drop names or references most non-gamers will not understand? Not only will the industry never be taken seriously with crap like that, but not explaining some of their references will just confuse non-gamers or anyone really trying to get into them and might put them off the medium entirely, in the worst case scenario. It does not help that most "Gaming blogs" look very nerdy and childish, this can be embarrassing and annoying even for huge gamers.

I am not out to say we are better than anyone else, but we just have different concepts and plans than most have. We will be updating every Friday with very detailed reviews (which we try to not make too long... my Bayonetta review for SEGAbits is a good example for something that is too long) and every Sunday we will have a biography or just a general history lesson of sorts that can be about just about anything in SEGA's past. I think you are missing the point if you want me to focus on the "Stars" of the company, a big reason I made the site was to hopefully help people understand and respect SEGA for the truly advanced and revolutionary company they are. Everyone knows about Yu Suzuki now, but how many know about Makoto Uchida? Sure, a few of his games are of questionable quality, but that is not the point. He is part of SEGA just the same.

Sorry if that came off as rant-ish. I just want to get my point around. I am very excited about what we want to do and hope you will enjoy it more as time passes. I appreciate the constructive criticism, I really do.

I getcha now. :) I didn't mean to come off as an asshole, I was just typing my thoughts on the site from a Sega fan perspective. Of course, you already noted that you knew that, so I just typed that I know that you knew I knew... y'know?

As far as the "robotic, factual approach", I wish you the best of luck! It's a tricky line to walk, go too far and you come off as snobbish, while another extreme would be too robotic (people partially read for some personality and commentary).

Take TSSZ, for example, they are a shitty shit site. The owner treats each article like it's the 10 o'clock news and even goes to far as to bash other sites. Hardly a friendly place to read and definitely leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

Anywho, looking forward to what you make of the Source. :)
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Sega Uranus on April 26, 2010, 10:04:14 pm
S'all cool, man.

And what I meant by "Robotic and factual" was just explaining everything like a robot would... If you know, they could like do this stuff. I figure most people do not care about jokes when they are reading game news because they are reading game news and not game webcomics.

As for TSSZ, I am well aware of the galaxy of shit they are in, I am going to avoid that as best I can. And for being snobby, the only one like that can muster that up on my staff is Kogen and he only does history articles and reviews anyways.

Thinking that I, quite honestly, sometimes don't understand the mentality of people who buy and sell in an online auction website such as Miau.pt.

It puzzles me to put an online auction up by trying to sell an item for barely 2€, plus shipping costs and someone almost always asks in the Q&A section if the seller would accept shipping for less than that and with shipping already included. :evil:

It could be worse, Labor got in power over here and so far all theyve done is waste money on rorts and shady enterprises.

They set up 'Insulation' subsidies that meant anyone could become an insulator for homes, and resulted in several deaths and houses burning down due to extremely lax regulations. Not to mention people that got totally ripped off by shoddy work.

They also introduced a ridiculously stupid building program for schools where they would have certain approved building companies (ie: the Union boys that got them elected) would build $50,000 buildings for $800,000 paid by the government. Also, they refused to build anything but large sheds, if you needed a new gym/cafeteria/landscaping/computers, "Fuck you, you're getting a million dollar shed".

Also they are spending huge amounts of money on some stupid broadband network for ultra high speed interwebs. Sounds sensible, until you realise it will take EIGHT YEARS for this to be done, by which time it'll surely be obselete anyway. Also, only one Telecommunication company is actually capable of winning the bid to do it.

Also, they want to censor the whole internet by introducing a filter that only allows government-approved sites to be viewed in the country.

Also, on a state level, they just blew $5 Billion on a 'Metro Train' system plan. That's right, the 'Plan'. They never actually built or did anything, just thought about it for a bit, bought loads of land, hired shit-tons of engineering companies then said "nahhhh".

Also they want to introduce 'Death Duties' so your family has to pay taxes when you die, because apparantly they haven't made up enough retarded taxes to take our money yet.

Your Labor government sounds stupid.

Actually I'll be honest.

Your Labor government sounds like our Conservative party.

Maybe you should take our Labour party, they built more schools, hospitals, fixed the NHS, introduced a minimum wage, free bus passes and so much more. A lot which the Tories hate (Well they really hate the NHS, they tried to make a PUBLIC SECTOR SERVICE into a PRIVATE SECTOR SERVICE, how can you be so dumb maaaaan)

Just saw this on /wooo/. It's the English election if it were booked by Vince Russo

Quote

    *Brown, Clegg and Cameron face each other in a 'Keys To 10 Downing Street' triple threat match, held inside a three-tiered cage, with a scaled-down model of Big Ben on top of the third tier. *

    The keys to 10 Downing Street themselves are suspended on a wire above the big ben model. In order to win the match, the three cage tiers and the big ben model must be climbed in order to retrieve the keys, which then have to be used to open a replica of the 10 Downing Street door, which is placed on the entrance ramp.

    However, the only way for the participants to get through the cage tiers is via a live online vote, which would determine the order of who could climb into the next tier first.

    Halfway through the match, the Queen unexpectedly shows up and proclaims herself to be the special match enforcer, despite there being no mention of an enforcer at all beforehand.

    The match is a back-and-forth-affair between brown and cameron, with clegg pulling off cruiserweight flippy shit to try and get an advantage, but getting effortlessly shut down by brown and cameron every time.

    The match soon turns into a clusterfuck, as an endless stream of various lab/lib/con party members make run-ins and saves, with the online vote rule going straight out of the window as brown, clegg and cameron climb the tiers to try and escape further beatdowns.

    A massive group of illegal immigrants suddenly swarms the ring and breaks through the cage, taking down everyone inside - except cameron. Nick Griffin and his BNP cronies emerge from the audience, joining cameron and the immigrants in the cage, a conservative victory looking all but certain...


WHEN IT COMES CRASHING DOWN AND IT HURTS INSIDE

Hulk Hogan suddenly makes his entrance, saving the Queen from her immigrant assailants, before joining forces with her majesty and clearing out all the politicians, foreigners and racists inside the first cage.

They both climb into the tier currently holding clegg, brown, cameron and griffin, staring the unholy alliance down. cameron and griffin get the upper hand-

UNTIL BROWN, HOGAN, CLEGG AND THE QUEEN ALL HULK UP OUTTA FUCKING NOWHERE, decimating griffin and cameron with big boots and legdrops, earning massive crowd pops all round.

Hogan is handed a microphone

"Well you see, brothers, I couldn't just stand there and let the red and the yellow get beat down like that, no way, brother. Because it's not the red, white and blue that's gonna win tonight, brother. It's the [spoiler:19xff788]BLACK AND WHITE![/spoiler:19xff788]

Hogan grabs the Queen's sceptre and clocks everyone with it. The referee reveals himself as Eric Bischoff in disguise as Scott Hall and Kevin Nash make their way to the ring. They hold an impromptu 'coronation' as Hogan takes the Queen's crown, proclaiming himself and the newly-reformed NWO as the new rulers of britain.

Subsequent weeks see the former royal family locked in a feud with the NWO for the crown, only to get beaten down and screwed everytime.

"Fucked up so bad", is the understatement of the decade.
The imminent collapse of the portuguese economy is what Sócrates is aiming for and PPC better damn well do something about it.

Of course, unfortunatly(if that's where you're getting at), the problems in Portugal's mindset go way beyond the Left vs Right battle:

Recommended reading (http://http://blog.iea.org.uk/?p=2683)
Quote
Apart from the far-left parties (which have an electoral weight of close to 20% and hold radical anti-capitalistic views) there is a large social-democratic consensus in Portuguese society favouring Keynesian  views that is shaken only by the prospect of imminent financial collapse. The Keynesian consensus pervades most political, media and academic contexts and leads to a dangerous state of denial and to blaming external agents (greedy faceless speculators, the US, the ECB or even Germany) for the crisis.

Update: And another thing, if PPC is apologizing now, then he shouldn't have the agreement with Sócrates in the first place. Now he has blood in his hands.

I never said things were good and that I agreed to our PM's delusional state of mind. There are unemployed people inside this house. I know the drill. I said the right wing did nothing about the overall state of affairs and that is true. When they got to power in 2002 all they did was blame the other party for everything that was going on, acting as if they were still opposition, instead of, at the very least, show an optimistic view towards the future. It helped sink their ship and gave Durão Barroso a good excuse to run for the EU Commission. It will be prestigious for Portugal, people said at the time. Yeah, right. Shove the prestige. The only thing I saw them do right was hunt down tax evaders.

I'm not sure if PPC is starting the right way. He did agree to the tax increase (leading to his apology) however something tells me it will be very hard for next year's budget to be approved.

"Fucked up so bad", is the understatement of the decade.

Please. I took it from your "f***-ups of over 14 years of PS dominated government" expression. Not everything was bad since the current PR left the job of PM. If you really can't see any good done in so long... Heh, there's nothing I can do about it.

Sorry to hear.
But true for PSD-PP blaming each other, but playing the blame game and "the country never advanced because of pessimism" became Socrate's slogans and he became severly hostile towards people who dissagreed with him, oppostion, journalists and bloggers.

And true, Santana Lopes was also a total jerk for getting Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa out of RTP.

Consider yourself lucky, no one is as bad as the Conservatives.

Cancelled the third runway in Heathrow, announced they will build nuclear power plants without spending any public money (Despite there not being any power plant that wasnt made without public money...) 70 odd million cut in police and far less employed, 22 billion pounds to help line the pockets of the well off and rich, the Olympic budget being cut, Home Information Packs abolished which has already taken away 10,000 jobs and trying to pass a law that means you can only vote a no confidence against the government with a 55% majority, instead of being able to vote no confidence with a majority of just one. All within two days of being in power.

The age of Austerity is well and truly back for Britain. I expect far worse in a week or two times.

Hehe, that's silly! ^__^ But I was referring to their personalities in the DiC show, not the Nelvana one. I'm not sure how similar they are.

Anyway, Kazuma's personality really is similar. The way he talks when he's helping someone with their personal problems or their feelings is just like a Care Bear would when they help. Despite being a known Yakuza member, he's very sweet, caring, and sensitive. He wants everyone to get along and be friends with each other instead of fighting. When he does get into fights, it's only his version of the Care Bear Stare. Also, before the final boss battle in Yakuza 3, [spoiler:2diy6exf]he and the final boss have a nice discussion about their feelings and what true friendship is all about.[/spoiler:2diy6exf]
 
So yeah... he's the Yakuza's version of a Care Bear. ^__^

Their latest album is really poor but I still like the band a great deal. Their live shows are great, even with all the shitty new songs. It's too bad the band are becoming massively famous thanks to the Twilight films. I think that's doing them more harm than good. Bellamy's strength never were the lyrics but these days *all* the songs are awfully cheesy. I honestly miss Muse from Origin of Symmetry and Absolution. There are B-sides from these eras that are better than pretty much anything in the latest record.

I actually think their albums got better with time. You know, actual lyrical content and a less alternative-heavy influenced music style.
I love Resistance and Black Holes.

Maybe that's the reason of their success. This shit appeals to more people, like me..

I think that Twilight is not the major factor of their success though. It may have opened them up for a new public, but aside from this new song I don't think that's their main demographic target..

Hey, Sonic Battle is actually really good fun! Not the most polished fighter around, but the replay value is fucking solid, the character selections are literally the best you could do with a collab of Sonic stuff (shit, even Chaos 0 is playable!!). It also has a very nice style and nice music. One of the most overlooked Sonic games IMO.

Remember that old text game "Torture"?

"Use thumb screws"

how many thumb screws would you like to use on your victim?

"999999999999999999999"

your victim has died

also: YES! my promotion (aka raise) kicked in this month! I'm finally making MORE than my living and entertainment expenses! Only took 25 years to get here, but it's worth it!

Here in Canada we've got 3 levels of Police. Federal, provincial, and municipal.
Bigger Cities have their own police services. Ontario and Quebec both have their own provincial police that cover small towns and provincial laws (liquor laws, highway laws, etc...).  The Mounties (RCMP) cover federal laws (guns & drugs), and pretty much everything else outside of Ontario and Quebec.

If I went out for RCMP, I could get shipped anywhere in Canada (it's a big country), so I'm going for OPP (provincial police) because I'd like to be kinda close to my family.

The OPP uniform looks more like this

That is pretty interesting. Too bad you won't get to ride a horse, but those are some of the better looking police uniforms I've seen. Do police carry guns in Canada? Can't tell from that pic.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: SOUP on May 29, 2010, 10:40:02 pm
Yes. The standard gear goes like this: Gun, baton, OC spray, taser, and handcuffs.
The kind of guns used depend on the police service (RCMP use different ones than the OPP).
In Ontario, it's all regulated as far as exactly what types of guns officers are given.

You'll appreciate this extract from Snow Crash:

Quote
The franchise and the virus work on the same principle: what thrives in one place will thrive in another. You just have to find a sufficiently virulent business plan, condense it into a three-ring binder -- its DNA – Xerox it, and embed it in the fertile lining of a well-traveled highway, preferably one with a left-turn lane. Then the growth will expand until it runs up against its property lines.

In olden times, you'd wander down to Mom's Cafe for a bite to eat and a cup of joe, and you would feel right at home. It worked just fine if you never left your hometown. But if you went to the next town over, everyone would look up and stare at you when you came in the door, and the Blue Plate Special would be something you didn't recognize. If you did enough traveling, you'd never feel at home anywhere.

But when a businessman from New Jersey goes to Dubuque, he knows he can walk into a McDonald's and no one will stare at him. He can order without having to look at the menu, and the food will always taste the same. McDonald's is Home, condensed into a three-ring binder and xeroxed. "No surprises" is the motto of the franchise ghetto, its Good Housekeeping seal, subliminally blazoned on every sign and logo that make up the curves and grids of light that outline the Basin.

The people of America, who live in the world's most surprising and terrible country, take comfort in that motto. Follow the loglo outward, to where the growth is enfolded into the valleys and the canyons, and you find the land of the refugees. They have fled from the true America, the America of atomic bombs, scalpings, hip-hop, chaos theory, cement overshoes, snake handlers, spree killers, space walks, buffalo jumps, drive-bys, cruise missiles, Sherman's March, gridlock, motorcycle gangs, and bun-gee jumping. They have parallel-parked their bimbo boxes in identical computer-designed Burbclave street patterns and secreted themselves in symmetrical sheetrock shitholes with vinyl floors and ill-fitting woodwork and no sidewalks, vast house farms out in the loglo wilderness, a culture medium for a medium culture.

The only ones left in the city are street people, feeding off debris; immigrants, thrown out like shrapnel from the destruction of the Asian powers; young bohos; and the technomedia priesthood of Mr. Lee's Greater Hong Kong. Young smart people like Da5id and Hiro, who take the risk of living in the city because they like stimulation and they know they can handle it.

The giant inflatable bat from Meat Loaf's Bat out of Hell tour and one of Eddie Murphy's 80's standup outfits made an appearance. Walker Texas Ranger Lever (called the Chuck Norris Action Policeman Handle for legal reasons), Triumph (via video) and masturbating bear all showed up. 3.5 hours of entertainment = Good times.

I saw every episode of the History Channel's 'America: The Story of Us' and need to say I am really annoyed by it. First off, they get extremely high quality (for television) actors and take great shots of the country mixed in with some impressive tech (again, for television) to show off how things built in America grew over the years and then they skip half of the facts about America or just get a lot of the info wrong or tell it in a way that it looks more convenient for how the viewer should probably respect the country. Basically, propaganda.

Though, they did have some interesting and well written bits, it is just not enough.

Canned Grapefruit?

Well now I've heard everything.
I KNOW

When I saw it in the store, my first reaction was "WTF?" and then I had to get some because cans are convenient and it was rather inexpensive, to boot.

How does it taste in comparison? I could really go for some grapefruit but it is pretty rare here, so I might look into some of it canned in the future.

It tastes gooood, like grapfruit should! ^__^ I'm not sure if they added sugar or not, but it's good fruit nonetheless. I had the other half of the can today. It will possibly be a common staple for me from now on.

It's 3AM, I forgot how to fall asleep. I just wait around and wait till morning is here.
She's waiting for me to call her, I've forgotten how to care. No matter how much I love her I'm just too afraid of the future to do something about it.
I've cried yet, I forgot what it is to be sad. I did so many bad things I don't allow myself to feel miserable.

I love life, I hate myself. I don't think about it because it isn't worth affecting myself and her because of it. Still, it's 3h30AM and here I am alone wanting her here, praying she's awake too, crying over me and my damned weakness.

I'm sounding off a bit unfair though. Maybe it is true. I may just wish she yearns for me, but I want to spend my life with her. But not this way.. Not apart.. Holding each other, loving each other.

I don't realize what she means to me. Maybe I never will.. I'm just happy to have her.
Love of mine, wherever you are I hope you are aware that I love you.

Fuck my sins. I've awaited your kiss for too long.

Just got back from a day at the shooting range, I did fairly well I think. I got a score of 253 for Pistols (getting a bullseye every shot would score 500, so I did alright I think. I only missed the target once out of 50 shots from a range of 25 yards).

In rifles I got 399, which isn't that impressive considering they were scoped.

Thinking about getting a licence now, I know that a few others are interested in it, might be fun. Wouldn't buy a handgun though, at least not right away as theres so many regulations for it.

Pathetic that I can get the main Xbox franchises for like $20 that all take tons of hours to beat a year after they are out, but the remake of Punch-Out, a two hour game is still fucking $40, and that is one of Nintendo's cheapest games. Not to mention that all of Nintendo's games that do not sell do not drop in price, but disappear forever, only to be bought ever again by rich collectors. Fuck.

Sonic Colors was the straw the broke the camels back really. If the only good games SEGA is only going to put on it are 20 minute long lightgun games on it, then no loss to me.

Not to mention that all of Nintendo's games that do not sell do not drop in price, but disappear forever, only to be bought ever again by rich collectors. Fuck.

Sonic Colors was the straw the broke the camels back really. If the only good games SEGA is only going to put on it are 20 minute long lightgun games on it, then no loss to me.

Will you also burn all your NiGHTS merch?

I am willing to take a video of me burning NiGHTS Journey of Dreams, though.  :!:

But yeah, looks like I am going to get rid of my Wii. I know of someone who would like to buy it, I am looking towards getting a PlayStation 3 to pretty much only play Yakuza and Naughty Dog games, maybe some imports. Once I get it George's head will probably cave in from confusion.

My real annoyance is not because I do not think Wii has any good games, it is that all of the ones I am usually interested in are so expensive and so short. The last Wii game I bought for retail was Wario Land, which is a good game, but it took me like 4 hours overall to find almost everything in the damn game to begin with. What kind of crazy bullshit is that? I mean, I constantly spend under $10 to buy Xbox 360 games new and play them for over 20 hours. I know I can do the same with PlayStation 3, so it just seems like a way better deal for me overall honestly. If I turn on my Wii at all anymore it is just to play some Virtual Console games or use the Internet Browser, what a joke.

Metroid Corruption was the second game I owned for Wii, and is now one of the three games I own that I never beat, one of which I only just started anyways. I absolutely hate it and think it is extremely boring, one of the worst in the Metroid series.

Muramasa is lame hack n slash crap that was already confirmed to be coming to HD consoles later on anyways, so why play it on weaker hardware with less features? I do not even like the gameplay and rather play the companies better games, like Odin Sphere and Princess Crown.

Never liked Monster Hunter, either. Wii's online stuff sucks beyond reason and I do not know anyone who is even interested in the game and do not want to make Monster Hunter-only friends.

For other games like Epic Mickey, I can always play them on a friends console or something if I really need to. For instance I beat Uncharted twice and never owned the console, so I am not too worried at all.

That's a bit harsh on muramasa. and it's not 'Confirmed' to come to HD consoles, Shadi just pretended it was when the publisher mentioned something vaguely talking about HD consoles or something.

It's a pretty good game, not perfect, but good. I was just pointing it and others out because it's quite long and not at all a game you would finish in '4 hours' like you said. Ditto De Blob.

I can understand selling your Wii, but just wanted to point out theres quite a few long games on there.

They said some content was cut before release, but that happens with every game. I still remember people flipping out over it on Sega.com, like they'd never seen 'deleted scenes' on a DVD before.

Heading to Minnesota tomorrow! I'm not going to visit ShadiWulf. I'm visiting my family and heading to my cabin which is a dead zone for internet and phones. I'll have to play real life games like "IRL Bass Fishing", "Cheese & Deer Meat Eater Xtreme" and "Bonfire Party".

So I won't be round these parts for a good 8 days, though I might pop in once or twice.

My goal: to find the copy of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch for SEGA CD that I remember being at one of the local antique stores ten years back. I'll bet it's still there.

Awesome graphics, and the controls are really well done, but all of those games have terrible storylines. Well, Bass Fishing has a funny incidental mission where a guy loses his phone in the water, but it's rare. The last boss in Cheese and Deer is really hard though.

I loved Iron Man 2
, and I'm hoping to see Toy Story 3 within the next week or so.
I'm also going to try and see Predators when it comes out. I love that franchise.
Now that's an odd sentence.

Well, I did love it. I enjoyed the film very much. =)

Anywho, I start some volunteer work at a day care center this week.  It will be fantastic.

"we still can't be together, i can't stand having you so far away for so long. let's be just friends for a little while longer"
How to revert this? Just wait?

Either way, had a pretty nice date today. Got tired as fuck. I got home and started to sleep like a freaking tombstone. Then I got a text from another girl, and my phone buzzed all over the place waking me up. I called her some nasty stuff, but still can't get back to the sleeping. I've got a massive sunburn as well! I'm laying down on top of a wet towel. I feel like a Green Hill crab. Awesome feeling.

Sometimes I don't know if I love my life or hate it. Either way, I'm pretty good at it. I'm lucky.

PS3's FIFA online play is god awful. Every game ends in an about 5 goal difference either with me winning or losing. It's a simple matter of WHO is getting the lag. Suddenly the players stop running, start spinning around, the goal keeper doesn't come out of the net, and the controls stop working.

Fuck that. I'm not playing this shit again. I'm sick of this. It's infuriating. Wins feel cheap and losses make me wanna punch puppies.

That's weird, I thought EA was supposed to be pretty good with their netcode. I know I didn't have too many problems with Fight Night at least.

I'm currently trying to install a new printer. It's wireless!

I used to play the exact same FIFA games on the 360. It was great!
Now same game, same internet, lousy play? Do they have different netcodes for the PS3 and 360?

I hate playing online anyway. It just gave me more coins for ingame spending..

I finished Friends. wow it was great. One of the best series I have ever watched. I wish there was more..

That Games Radar website sucks.

Their list article of VG characters that died totally spoiled a game I've yet to finish. You could say shame on me for reading it, but I was assuming they would list games that have been out for long enough that most people know the ending and have had time to finish the games listed. Instead, they stick in a game that has only been out for a month and has so much content that few people have actually reached the ending.

the game was
[spoiler:393sv19e]Red Dead Redemption[/spoiler:393sv19e]

I say there should be a good 2 months before endings to movies/games and books are publicly spoiled. Even then, there should be a spoiler warning. I remember Bayonetta's ending was already being mentioned in articles just a week after the game launched.

another thought: I'm gearing up for more original content articles here at bits! 5 Things, SEGAbits All-Stars and possibly a retro review. :)

Thank you for your opinion, but I'm still doing my 5 things articles.  :P Note that it's not a top ten, it's five things that should or shouldn't be done to a future game/IP. 14 responses to my previous 5 things is a pretty good signal that I did something right.

Just got back from some indoor rock climbing. First time i've ever done it, my fore-arms are killing me! I need to learn to put more weight on my legs rather than my arms. The first two runs or so I was mostly using my arms, then the next few I couldn't even make it past half-way since my hands just gave out each time.

Lots of fun though!

Even the most retarded and ugly kids in my old school hang out with more girls then I do these days... Not that I'm bothered by this, just an observation I've made via facebook.

I think my problem is I can't remember the last time I spoke to a girl and I wasn't completely repulsed by something they said, their personality, the way they look or more often then not how stupid I find them all.

Thank god I got a girlfriend before I became such a jaded and hateful prick with low enough self worth that I could shape her into the kind of girl I can stand though strategic insults.

I had a dream. In short, I was in a South Asian country and a boy stole my wallet. I chased after him. When I caught him, I beat him. Then somehow I found his home and I saw his room with a few Sega action figures, some games (Virtua Fighter Remix, Sonic...) and a few Sega posters. There was a Dreamcast controller as well. For some reason there were Transformers posters there too. I cried and then I woke up.

My subconscious is totally fucked up, I never cared about Transformers.

Strange... That's the kind of thing that my straight friends complain to me about, except involving women. So I don't think it's a habit that's exclusive to one gender. ^^'''

Good to hear, I bet you feel so relieved now! Hope you can rest a little easier now.

I've been going mad with job interviews today. Had one yesterday (which was after a phone interview), now they want me to call today to organise a third. This morning I had another unrelated one with a recruitment center, and they've already asked me to travel to the client this afternoon for another interview.

Fingers crossed!

A guy's furnace broke down 3 months after he bought the place, so he picked the most expensive repair shop, that convinced him he needed to replace the furnace for 3 times what it should have cost, then sued us (the 2 Realtors) for the cost, plus a new refrigerator.

What kind of job are you looking for?

Marketing related work, most likely a marketing co-ordinator or assistant marketing manager position. Today has been absolutely insane, when it rains it really pours.

I got back from meeting the clients this afternoon, and I need to send an email to the recruitment place in regards to another job that just came in yesterday. I also had to call and organise the one for tuesday like I said earlier.

Then I checked my emails and found one from the manager of a place I went for an interview weeks ago saying a position just opened I might be interested in, so to get back to him to organise another talk/interview.

Maybe one of you guys can help me:

So at my work I am one of four people on a Mac. Rest of the staff is PC. From as far as I know the company and tech support has no direct control over what I can do with the internet, and our access is shared with a University. However, since yesterday I have been unable to access sonicstadium.org. I receive an error reading "This link appears to be broken. could not locate the server (DNS error)." I get similar errors (same error, different wording) with all of my other browsers ( Flock, Firefox, Safari). All my other sites work fine, but sonic stadium never shows up. Not even the forums.

I then tried  a proxy site and got through fine, and could completely browse the site via the proxy. Why is it that Sonic Stadium is the only site that has this error for me? Am I being blocked by TSS or my work? I'd think porn, ebay and facebook would be locked before a Sonic fan site.

Any tech help would be awesome.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: max_cady on July 23, 2010, 12:18:54 pm
Yeah, maybe I can answer that...

It sometimes happens, but websites often times have a list of IPs that are blacklisted. It might be that for some reason TSS is blacklisting your IP.


But most of these cases, it's mostly because the network administrator has blocked the access for that particular site, hence having to use hidden proxies.

Network administrators are jerks like that.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on July 23, 2010, 12:33:07 pm
Thanks for the info!

Yeah, you never know. There might be a Sonic fan at the University who pissed off TSS, thus ruining it for everybody else.

I might contact a few of the mods, who I know well, and see if they can't look into it. For now, the proxy works fine.

The internet is an amazing and magical thing.

Well, after two very harsh weeks, things seem to be going my way right now.

Today I had the exam for Algorithmic Analysis and Optimization(it's mostly about Operations Research). And last time I got burned so badly because the exam was nothing like I had expected and two of the exercises had a total of 14 out of 20, and predictably I had only 6.

But today, man, I'm almost certain I'll get a high score. I had all the first 5 questions, which were 8 points. And the Transportation Problem which was also 8 points. So unless I screwed up at the Two-Phase Method, I'm looking at a 16 out of 20(which is like the highest score I've ever gotten in college).

So it might be alright.

And I'll have to do a presentation about the Chinese Postman Problem next week. I already finished a 32-page report, so now I have to worry about the presentation.

If I get a least a 10 out of 20, then I'm one step closer to getting my bachelor's degree! Oh, yeah!

I'm a week into being a blu-ray owner, and I gotta say that I'm loving it!

The good:
+ Picture quality for animation, particularly CG and stop motion, is awesome. I watched Up and the latest Wallace and Gromit short.
+ Menus are slick. Very easy to jump around mid-movie
+ Commentaries are actually fun again! The audio-only got boring after a few years, thankfully they now have video and production art whizzing around the screen as the movie plays. The commentaries for the Clone Wars movie and Terminator Salvation were great.

The bad:
- Things like comedies and independent films are not any better in HD. The $10 HD price hike for stuff like Superbad and The Hangover isn't worth it. I'd prefer buying non-effects driven movies on DVD and simply rent the blu-rays via netflix.
- blu-ray cases still annoy me. The blue usually clashes with the cover art (baby blue does not suit horror movies) and they're an inch shorter than a DVD case. Not a huge problem, but an annoyance nonetheless.
- I'm going to have to get used to loading times. Nothing has exceeded 20 seconds, but it still feels like a long wait when you want to watch something.

No, as a tv viewer and gamer I hate kevin butler. The commercials are stupid, sexist and way too "aw snap dawg" internet slang. Also, it doesn't focus on the actual games and hardware, more on stupid jokes about men playing video games and women not understanding how a remote works (lawl, haw haw).

Quit the fanboy accusations, and that goes well beyond this post.

I must not have seen the ads you are talking about, because the earlier ones I saw (probably over a few months old now) were really nice. =P Though I will agree, I was taken aback by the Marcus PSP ads they showed at E3.

However, I still say that you'd hate Kevin Butler just on the basis that he's in Sony ads. If he were advertising for the 360, you'd be trying to find ways to defend any claims of sexism (just like you Sega nerds put up a defense for you-know-who).
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread

Nah, I hate 360's ads when they try to be quirky and funny. Thankfully, they usually just play clips from the game. Give me SEGA ads or give me in-game footage any day.

Yeah, Marcus is pretty lame.

You're telling me. I was talking to my younger cousins a while back (one is 18, the other is about 15) and one was getting a PS3. I told him he should get Yakuza and was telling him about it and he said.
"Oh that reminds me of this really great game on Xbox, it was awesome. You were in Japan or China and you could talk to everyone and explore everything and do martial arts. It was amazing!"
ME: Do you mean... Shenmue II?
"YEAH! That game, it was the best!"
then the younger one said
"SHenmue!? I loved that game, it was awesome!"

Yakuza 3 was the first game they bought for the PS3  :afroman:

Hey guys I'm back.

I had a quite traumatic vacation with friends.. I kinda end up breakin with my girl and stuff for at least a while. We're gonna be just friends until we sort some things out in our own separate lives.
I had to make some heavy decisions, so I took the opportunity to set some goals in my life and do things in a reasonable way.
I stressed out quite a bit, but had some friends helpin and I got through my problems.

I just need to fill my mind with stuff right now. So I joined a gym, started taking driving lessons and bought lots of furniture at Ikea. I'm redecorating my room.

A lot of change is going on in my life right now and I have not had the time to come here and talk to you guys in a while..

Perfect, just as I was about to start up Resident Evil 5 to play the new downloadable content. I get an error screen saying that my disc is unreadable.

Puzzled I turned the disc around and I see some freaky black blotches on the edge of the disc.

It is probably humidity, which means that Game might not repair it.

I freaked out and made checked all my game discs one by one, they were all fine. Apparentely only Resident Evil 5 was the unlucky one.

Be careful though, burned discs wear out your Dreamcast pretty bad. I've switched to full-legal with my DC, except for one or two rare games. She still breaks down sometimes..

Also new rules made actual serious discussions get locked at the first sight of trouble.

I stopped going there a long time, the Sonic Games section is too big of a section to keep up with, though I was responsible for one the largest topics there at the time which was the Sonic 2006 topic. It had about 500 pages of posts.

Looking back now, I wasn't expecting the game to generate that much debate, considering how bad it turned out. But I was drinking the kool-aid back then...

SONIC BLASTMAN!

And what you mean NON-CANONICAL. It is pretty obvious Sonic and Sonia and Manic have been looking for their mother ever since the first Sonic game. The part in the end of the game where Sonic takes out his 6-string and rocks out to the sound of So Much More was epic.

Also, Knuckles should always wear a hat.

-the introduction of the green saber would be weakened as we've already seen it

I dunno about surgery... It sounds like getting hair plugs/transplants would be painful and probably not a permanent solution, or it would be noticable.
Then  again I haven't really done all that much research into it, I think I would rather just shave it off myself though.

I wonder what it's like to be 20+.
You realize you aren't immortal, you feel like your actually ageing in a bad way, you start to get aches and pains, You realize every year you are less likely to have sex with a virgin, girls you knew in school now have children,  you no longer want to run everywhere... or anywhere... You die a little inside.

But you can drink yourself retarded so everything equals out.

When you get older, you feel like the days and weeks go by faster than ever, and I can only picture it getting much worse as I get even older.

While I have no major regrets, there are things I already will never be able to accomplish because I messed up, did not plan something as good as I should have or just was not aware of at the time. That is just all part of life, and I am sure we will all be fine in the end.

The dude's at GameTrailer's Bonus Round are dicks.

In a preview on new IPs, Vanquish talk was almost 90% rant on Sega's marketing.
Michael Patcher even used EA as an example with pre-order bonuses, Best Buy panflets,etc. "If it was EA doing it says..."

First off, Sega announced way back in July, an exclusive pre-order bonus deal with Gamestop, the single largest video game retailers in the United States. That's not enough for you? Mad World also got ads put up by Gamestop. And they are confident Epic Mickey will sell?

Bayonetta was also heavily adverstised on UFC, that kinda looks like the right crowd for an item such as this.

Can you imagine a Best Buy employee handing out panflets with a voluptuous witch without looking like a creepy pervert?

"Everyone should be treated the same" is a load of bull. Acknowledging that some differences might be shortcomings and work over them is the way to go.

I once read (it might have been an hypothetical story, but still interesting) that a lady had a job at a library. She would climb up the ladder and get them books to the people. Sadly, she later lost the ability to walk and was confined to a wheelchair.
Since she couldn't really do her job now, the library managers decided to let her go and get someone else for the job.
She sued the library, claiming she wanted to be treated exactly the same and that they should construct infrastructures in order for her to keep her job.

Personally I think this situation is insane.

We should have same respect for everyone, yes. But people can't all be treated equally since everyone is different.

It is nothing like that. It isn't about ethnicity. It's about a physical aspect. They are simply too fat for the chairs. If it were me they wouldn't even be allowed to sit and risk breaking a chair.
Overweightness is a physical limitation. Fat people can't expect to have everything the same way as slim people.

Apparently the issue is not that they do not fit in the chairs, since the customers are still being serviced for a fee. I just think if the people are getting the same care and obviously have the 'ability' to provide this care for them, its a bit stupid to charge extra.

I mean, as a business person.

In the case of fatty vs skinny asian, I side with skinny asian in that the owner should not have to refit their entire salon with chairs that are made for folks 250lbs or more. If folks of massive size and weight wish to use the salon's equipment, such as sitting in chairs, the owner should have the right to charge extra in the event that the chair breaks or have them sign a contract stating that if the chair breaks it is their own fault and not the fault of the owner.  

If US law changes and obesity is deemed the same as race, religion or sexual orientation the country would go to shit. Every chair in America would have to be altered to suit folks who are twice as wide as the average person. City transportation would be sued, airlines would be sued, public places of leisure would be sued, private businesses would be sued. It would be chaos. Seating space that once was made for 100 people will be cut down to 50 just because each seat had to be altered to fit a larger frame. With populations rising, I think the last thing the country needs is seating capacity being cut down to suit the obese. Rather the money that would be used for chairs should be used for fitness programs and dietary education.

Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on August 24, 2010, 09:14:56 am
Personally, I think it's totally cool if a taller larger person takes part of a second seat, I mean you can't expect them to do anything else. Tall folks can't help their height and body weight ratio any more than a black person can their skin color or a male or female can their gender. In fact I'd back a tall person who was having issues with public transit or airline seats. Those things really don't give any leg room.

Thing is, there's a difference between a person who is tall and in turn their body weight matches their stature and a person who is short and is round like a plum because they eat too much. Living in Philadelphia, one of the fatter cities in America (#15 on the list with a D rating), I encounter people all the time who are shorter than me (I'm 5'7") and are extremely fat and wide. They sit next to me and usually their thigh and hips encroach on my seat. Not fun. Compare this to my home of Minneapolis, MN (#88 on the list with a B+ rating). Growing up I'd see tall big people, of course, but when it came to shorter folks or average height folks very rarely would I see people who were obese. So quite clearly obesity is something that CAN be helped, and it seems the people in Minnesota know how to keep fit much better than the people in Philadelphia. I blame the cheesesteaks.

If she's running the salon in the southern United States instead of a small east Asian country, then she should consider buying new equipment. The obesity statistics in these states are around 30% of the total population or above.

http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/trends.html (http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/trends.html)

Living in Philadelphia, one of the fatter cities in America (#15 on the list with a D rating), I encounter people all the time who are shorter than me (I'm 5'7") and are extremely fat and wide. They sit next to me and usually their thigh and hips encroach on my seat. Not fun. Compare this to my home of Minneapolis, MN (#88 on the list with a B+ rating). Growing up I'd see tall big people, of course, but when it came to shorter folks or average height folks very rarely would I see people who were obese. So quite clearly obesity is something that CAN be helped, and it seems the people in Minnesota know how to keep fit much better than the people in Philadelphia. I blame the cheesesteaks.

Not always the case. Sometimes, especially in regions with many of them it could just be their genes half of the time. Fat parents have fat children etc.

eBay question for y'all:

I bought a DVD on ebay the seller swore up and down in his listing that he is 100% legit, no bootlegs and had 100% ratings. So I bought the DVD. Just got it today and it is a clear bootleg. Colors are off, everything looks scanned, discs are poorly printed, colors are missing from the outer sleeve that legit copies have. Biggest sign: it's region free yet is labeled region 1. It's a Simpsons DVD so I doubt it would ever be region free.

I contacted the seller and he was acting oblivious, apologized but said he does not sell bootlegs. I don't believe him as he clearly sells multiple copies of these things, claiming they are "used and in near mint condition". They weren't used, they were new but opened as they were never sealed to begin with. He offered me to send the DVD back for a refund. Thing is the set cost $15, and return shipping is a half hour at the post office and $5 postage. Am I better off simply keeping it and reporting the guy? Or should I return it and then report it?

I saw the Scott Pilgrim movie and played the demo of the game... I was really disappointed with both. The movie was enjoyable enough, but I cannot see myself watching it again. The game I was really pumped for and love the style, but I really hate leveling up in these kinds of games and the block button is just a hassle... Oh, and no online co-op? FUFKUFUFCC

I was really expecting to be a huge fan of this stuff, so I was pretty surprised. I might give the game another shot when it is the deal of the week though.

It's a good model. Not official, obviously, but if you let it sit in one place and not dangle or stacked under stuff it works well. Also, the RGB switcher is a nice addition. I see these all over the place online, so I'll bet you'd find one in time.

Just 199 more to go to get Sonic and the Black Knight!

That trailer for Back to the Future on Blu-Ray really made me want to watch the trilogy again. I was thinking about it the other day and that is pretty much a big sign telling me I should.

Speaking of Xbox 360, did you guys see the new controller?

[youtube:3els70sk]-nJCn5F66nA[/youtube:3els70sk]

That is such a strange alternative... I think most people would not have even considered that idea. But why get rid of the colors? Why is this only available with the Play & Charge Kit? Why are they just now fixing stuff like the sticks and dpad? Why was this recorded in someones garage? WHY WHY WHY?!?
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: crackdude on August 31, 2010, 11:52:32 pm
The colors have always confused me, cause the Dreamcast colors were all mixed up another way. No other controller uses colors so I don't see the problem.

I hope Sony comes out with a better controller as well.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Sega Uranus on September 01, 2010, 01:48:08 am
The only controller that does not have colors is Wii stuff. Before that it was like... the Super Nintendo probably, and even the Japanese version of that had different colored buttons.

A lot of games now have color coordinated actions. I cannot think of a game off the top of my head, but I remember playing some stuff on the Xbox 360 that would use the colors of the buttons for hints of what color you need to use for a specific areas. Extremely clever idea.

EDIT: Oh I know Sonic Unleashed had minor ones. The blue button (X) was supposed to make a blue blur, the red button (B) was for feet related things and the yellow button (Y) was used for doing the light dash on rings. Pretty neat.

It certainly is. It's still considered the best D-Pad ever made. I can't believe nobody has matched/surpassed it yet. It can't be THAT hard to copy can it?

In any event, the colours for the Xbox 360 pad are quite good I think. A is Green for Go, B is Red for 'Stop' (seeing as it's usually the 'back' button).

I never ever saw that controller before though, all I've seen were those Piano Black ones for the new console.

As for current thoughts: Man, working for a big company can be exhausting. So much beurocracy (I can't be fucked checking the spelling of that).

About the new 360 pad:

The new d-pad is a novel idea! Looks better than the current one.

HOWEVER...

What. The. Fuckity. Were they thinking in losing the controller colors? They are essential to game tutorial screens and QTE's. If a game shows a red circle with a tiny "B", I'm going to see the red before I ever see the tiny "B". Stupid stupid decision. Not buying.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: crackdude on September 01, 2010, 08:38:36 am
What?
Only the Dreamcast and Xbox controllers have ever given colors an important role in controllers.

AND WHAT THE FUCK:
"If a game shows a red circle with a tiny "B", I'm going to see the red before I ever see the tiny "B". Stupid stupid decision. Not buying."
You haven't remembered the positions yet? If you see red on the screen do you look down to see where it is? If not, then WHAT MATTERS if it has colors or not.

You guys are seeming so retarded over this. And it's a common reaction I've seen around the web.

Seriously, does ANY of you even LOOK at the controller during gameplay?
And if so, how did you survive playing MegaDrive and Saturn without colors?
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on September 01, 2010, 09:26:42 am
Sonic Unleashed's and Shenmue 2's QTE's were moments when the button colors were important to me. Also, candy colored buttons make me think of the Dreamcast... gray toned buttons make me think of Death...

Yeah I do not know what you mean by this Barry. The colors in the game will not change, just the controller itself. I doubt this is going to be the standard. I think the next console will have that dpad though.

As for the Saturn dpad, it was one of the biggest around. You cannot really emulate this one perfectly as the space on most controllers now are very limited because you need room for both that and an analog stick, not to mention the back button and Xbox Guide button too.

Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on September 01, 2010, 10:49:08 am
What I'm saying is that why take out an important piece of visual information (that being the button colors) and replace them with bland gray tones? The button colors are referenced in the UI and in-game, so why remove them from the controller?

An important part of branding is too keep the brand consistent. Even with the new 360, they maintained the basic shape of the console so that the loading icon on the hub would match both the old model and the new model.

My only thought as to why they went gray scale is that this is MS's small attempt at reaching out the the hardcore crowd. With Kinect on the way, I'll bet they wanted to revamp the d-pad for the 1337 players and gave the gray tone to the buttons to strip the controller of the "family friendly" look.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: crackdude on September 01, 2010, 10:52:02 am
That won't happen Barry.
Yes, this is an hardcore-oriented pad. I doubt casuals will bother about the D-Pad. But it won't be the norm. New consoles will always come with the standard controllers.

Dreamcast:
A - Red
B - Blue
X - Yellow
Y - Green

$box 360:
A - Green
B - Red
X- Blue
Y- Yellow

Dat Triple:
X - Blue
O - Red
Parallelogram - Pink
Triangle - Green

I will never ever ever memorize the PS controller buttons, both in color and symbol placement. I think it has to do with my internal wiring. I am shit at Parappa and Umjammer and yet I've logged hundreds of hours on my PS2.

As for the XBOX colors, having memorized the Dreamcast I mess up quite a bit. The Tornado mini-game in Unleashed was murder.

DC is perfect as they grouped A/B with corresponding colors Red/Blue and X/Y with corresponding colors Yellow/Green. Also, the placement makes sense as it perfectly matches a color wheel:

(http://http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/1076/dreamcastcontroller.jpg)

SEGA = perfection

Then XBOX decided to copy from the best, but had to make alterations to avoid lawsuits. I guess I see what they tried to do, by placing corresponding colors across from one another rather than next to each other, but in my opinion it doesn't work. WHat they should have done was taken a queue from the Dreamcast and simply rotated the color wheel, making A/B Green/Yellow and X/Y Blue/Red.

See, it's almost there but not quite:

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

FUCKING

NO

Sorry, but that controller is okay, but it's a monumental piece of shit d-pad compared to the Saturn one. As someone who owns both and plays fighters on both, I can honestly say the Saturn one is leagues ahead of that still. It's better than the Xbox 360 standard D-pad, but not as good as the Saturn one.
Don't take offense by the way Crackdude, anger isn't aimed at you, it's aimed at the pad.

There is a reason top players are still modding Saturn pads to use with PS3 rather than using those fight pads.

Quote
Then XBOX decided to copy from the best, but had to make alterations to avoid lawsuits. I guess I see what they tried to do, by placing corresponding colors across from one another rather than next to each other, but in my opinion it doesn't work. WHat they should have done was taken a queue from the Dreamcast and simply rotated the color wheel, making A/B Green/Yellow and X/Y Blue/Red.

Actually Barrington, I have to respecfully disagree here. I found the 360 pad to be much better with colour placement, for the aforementioned 'Green = Go, Red = Stop' connotation. I know that A is always used to progress and B is always used to stop.


In any event:

Well, don't let me talk you out of it completely, I was just saying it's no where near the quality of a Saturn D-Pad, but overall I was pretty happy with my purchase. It works well for non-fighter games on XBLA, and it also works on all PCs so you can use it to play Mega Drive and Saturn Emulators!

Some girls are just pretty idiots.

I asked this girl to come to my house for a 3-day party. She's underage so she called up her mom and stuff. She got her mother's consent and everything was arranged so that she comes tonight and leaves sunday morning. I buy all the food and stuff for her stay.
Today she calls me up sayin' she'll leave tomorrow so that she (get this)can prove to her mother that she's responsible enough not to stay more than a night so that next time her mother allows her to stay longer.

As for the show, I also didn't like the first 2 eps much, was doubting my purchase until about half way through the second episode (or whichever one had Prez, Carver and Herc cause that riot in the low-rise).

I got back from a day at the drag strip watching Top Fuelers. Those things are insanely powerful. 5000 HP, fire breathing monsters that shake the concrete grand-stands when they shoot past, it was unreal. When we were at the finishing line watching them start, they were about 100 meters down the track before we heard the engine noise.
Holy shit.

Then we went to a steak-house. It was awesome.

I'm not going to the big gaming convention this weekend because none of my lazy cheap friends want to go. Oh sure, they'll drive to my house for pizza and movies, but when it comes to driving an hour and spending $10 admission, it's too much for them! Friends suck. I'd go alone, but 2 hours in a car and walking around is incredibly lame by yourself.

Next time a friend wants a favor, I'll say "I'm too busy and am short on cash dude! Sorry!"

Holy cow. It seems like you have some really bad friends. =/ Do you actually buy the pizza for them? No splitting the bill? 'Cause yeah, it appears that they have no problem taking advantage of you.

What gaming convention was it, anyway? I bet I totally would've gone with! ^__^

Guys, its not really their fault.

Not everyone is interested to drive 1 hour, spend some bucks, and look at games. I could totally see they rejecting that.

Driving to someones house that is few minutes away and having a party is much easier.

Actually, one hour isn't that bad a drive at all. I have to drive an hour and a half to visit with my family. Also, $10 is really inexpensive for a con... That's why I'm wondering what convention it was. If it's a full-fledged one, then they're missing out. Cons are a lot of fun. ^__^

Barry, I say you try going alone and meeting people to hang out with while you're there. Nerds in general are very relaxed and easy to get along with, but gamers especially have a common interest that they can sit down and bond over. I think you still might enjoy yourself. =)

PS3 is def a better offline console. While its online gameplay is good, it is not 'constant' with all titles. Like, Modern Warfare 2 and Uncharted 2's online play is very good, as good as 360 (outside of cross game chat). Other titles feel like complete shit.

I suppose that one of the very, very few advantages of living in the southern United States is that the winters aren't nearly as harsh as anywhere up north. Aside from last winter (when El Niño was acting up), we rarely ever have much in the way of snow. ^^;

Since we're on the subject, I lived in Penafiel, a little town up North, it's situated in a valley called Vale de Sousa.

It has one major issue, in the Summertime, it gets way too hot and in the winter it gets way too cold. It's easy to catch a cold up north.

Now that I've been living in a coastal city for over a year, I can safely say that it's much nicer, because it's never too hot and never too cold.

Just got back from a concert "These Kids Wear Crowns" opened for.
They played here in town on their first tour last year, and I think there were like 20 people, including myself that showed up.  Completely unknown band, opening for a barely known band, playing in a very small venue, in a smaller city (80 000 people).  Thing is, they were really good.  My friend and I chatted with them a bit after their set, and picked up some t-shirts and their EP.

Afterwards, we subscribed to their fan-run twitter feed, and spent the last year getting others into them.  This summer they got a spot on a Canadian battle of the bands type show, and ended up winning. Last month, they put out their first major label single, and have a video playing on Much Music (Canadian version of what MTV used to be like).

After their set tonight, we stopped by the merch booth where the bass player/singer was being pretty much mobbed by girls of various ages to get their picture taken with them.  He saw that my friend and I had shirts on from their first tour, recognized us, and invited us backstage.  We all had a good chat for the duration of the second act's set.  I guess they only made 50 of the t-shirt that I had, so he said he was really surprised to see it. Got some info on when their new album's due, and what'll be on it.  Then he gave us is contact info, so we can all get together whenever they're in the area.

Good times :)

After carefull consideration, I have concluded that it's simply not worth the time and effort to pursue a Dreamcast VGA Cable, for starters, the few stores that still sell them are way too pricey and Dreamcast VGA only supports up to 640x480, a resolution so low that my Asus LCD monitor may not even support it.

So I'm just gonna call it quits.

I feel like converting a really terrible portuguese song into english...

This song is from Zé Cabra.

I left everything for her. I did... I did...
I left everything for her. I know... I know...

I left everything I wanted, I left everything for her.

I stopped watching movies,
I stopped watching soccer,
I stopped going to the beach,
I stopped seeing the sun,

Na,na,na,na,na(This is actually part of the lyrics)... because she though it was OK.

(repeat)

We should have more Portugal moments here.

After all there was another one
And I without knowing a thing, smiled

And for him I walked around crazy
To be his wife, someday

After all there was another one
A family, a home, a house

And after all I was
The spare time love

Who the fuck said "Sorry to hear about your site. I hope everything works out." to TSSZ on the SEGAbits twitter? Looks like somebody here wasn't informed that tssz is a ball of shit masquerading as a news site. Honestly, I'm glad they got hacked and hope it happens again.

edit: to clarify, I'm not pissed off at whoever showed kindness towards tssz (I assume it was Sharky or George), I just find it mind boggling that there are still people out there who Tristan hasn't made enemies with. his "article" on the hacking includes, for no reason but to stir up trouble, a dig at TSS writer Shadzter who is an all around awesome guy, i think he even joined the forums not too long ago. Shadz suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome, and Tristan thinks it's fun to include an insult about the disorder any chance he can get. It's just low, and makes Tristan come off as a cunt. Lest we not forget all the times TSSZ ignored C&D's from sega and how they remove any comments that might be critical of their site. Hell, I pointed out that he didn't cite TSS in an article and the dude banned me. Of course, he had to slip in an Shadzter insult even though he had nothing to do with me mentioning TSSZ's mistake.

Anyway, tl;dr version: TSSZ is a waste of internet space.

I'm not the biggest fan of TSSZ, but having a site hacked sucks. Its his work, it was not just his site but his personal stuff. He has attacked Sharky and our site before, but the act of kindness had nothing to do with his content or site really.

Giving him comments like "I hope you burn in hell and your site is hacked again" and actually hacking his site, causes drama, thus fueling traffic to his site. I rather have the SEGA community ignore him and not cause drama. Thus his site wouldn't have to exist.

But Christopher Nolan will be the Producer so I'm hoping we'll get a good Superman film. It would be really cool to see someone like Braniac or Metallo or even Darkseid as the villain! Lex Luthor is a great antagonist for Superman but it's about time they use someone else for feature films.

Producers do a lot less than you would think. Many times it is just a title that people take to seem important while not doing anything, like what Iizuka does now.

Still, whatever this turns out to be... It will be a billion times better than that movie that had a scene where Superman's dog Krypto fights Lex Luthor's in space...

I'm a little divided over this. I honestly think he won't be that bad for a Superman movie, even though he's probably not the best.

He did Watchmen quite well (Except for the action scenes which were far too over the top for Watchmen I felt.), and stuck to the comic as close as he could in a world run by producers.

I think that the movie, if nothing else, will at least have great visuals and hopefully he can capture that magic Superman has in comics like 'All Star Superman' and 'Kingdom Come'.

I also hope that Kevin Spacey returns as Luthor, but for once make him the more threatening/darker Corporate/Super Genius Luthor who is determined to kill Superman to 'save mankind'. I want to see that hatred of Superman and the determination to destroy him rather than just the usual "i'm going to rule the world!" bit.

I hope they bring back Brandon Routh. As much crap as Superman Returns gets, I thought that he was great in it.

I can't remember it all that well, but I do remember thinking he did a good job. I particularly liked his "I hope this doesn't put you off of flying, it's statistically safer than driving"

One time I took the elevator after college and all of a sudden, the elevator got stuck, with the door sliding open, only to reveal a WALL! I panicked, thinking I was trapped, and hit the Alarm button a couple of times before the elevator opened again and got out of here, thanks to a random guy. I should take the stairs from now on, seeing as how a small elevator mishap is somehow a reference to the movie Devil :shock:.

I was a little high on cold medicine this morning while watching the news of the Chilean miners.

It sounds wrong now, but at 6am it was very funny.

I was in a Databases lecture today. I wasn't paying any attention to the class, instead browsing the internets and reading my RSS feeds. This news about the new Halo Reach map pack appeared and I opened the link, which said in fat letters NOBLE MAP PACK FOR HALO REACH or something. Almost as soon as I opened the page, a girl on the row behind me asked me what was the news about, adding she is a massive Halo addict. We exchanged a few words about games. No Sonic 4 chatter fortunately. She touched the computer too.

Current thoughts: Odds of a woman liking Halo of all things and starting a conversation over that. Wat.

I still don't like the blue cases, but the rest i enjoy! even the load times that have been hyped up are minimal, I hardly notice them. looking forward to BTTF. I am a blu-ray hater no more. :D

As for Clone Wars, I recommend it! The theatrical movie isn't too hot, but definitely rent season 1 and 2. Lots of good season 1 episodes, especially: Rookies, Lair of Grievous and the Ryloth trilogy. Nearly all of season 2 is at the quality of those season 1 episodes.

edit: when is the double tie coming into style? We only have 5 more years!

So today I bought a chili con carne, which was supposed to be super hot. In fact it came with a real warning lol. Now I ate two portions of it. I really like hot food, granted by the second plate of it my nose was running and i needed to drink milk with it... But frankly it was enjoyable and was far from 'too hot' for me. The girlfriend on the other hand had about 3 mouthfuls and gave up.
 
So here I am, about 8 hours later... Nature calls... (It’s a number 2!)

 OMFG...  fire and brimstone!

The warning on the label should have specifically said 'if it doesn't get you on the way in, it'll sure get you on the way out'
 
How can I even restore the PH balance of my arse? I cant drink milk through it!

 My arse looks like the Japanese flag right now!

I accepted a bet to eat two ghost peppers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naga_Jolokia_pepper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naga_Jolokia_pepper)) earlier this year. To quote wikipedia, "In 2007, Guinness World Records certified the Naga Jolokia as the world's hottest chili pepper, 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce."  I didn't know this at the time.

I'm also a huge fan of spicy food, but this was no fun.  Just really painful burning, and an intense stabbing feeling in my stomach that reduced me to a fetal position several times later on that day.
Let's just say when it came to "Round 2", it came out black.  For 2 days.....

As far as dealing with "second stage pain", the only advice I can give is to use a warm, moist cloth after post dump, and the pain will go away in a couple days.

Just came back from a four day vacation in Dublin, in the land of the emerald aisle.

In short, Dublin city centre looks like the largest shopping mall in the world, the full irish breakfast was kickass, Temple Bar Pub was fun, the Guiness Factory is also a pretty sight. Had fun talking to some norwegian girls on my last day there.

The only downside: Only fast food restaurants are cheap and everything and I mean everything closes at 6 pm sharp, hostel service was a downer, a drunken guy smeared my face with sallad dressing and we got stuck in the airport this morning for about a hour and a half due to french air traffic restrictions.

Dark Knight Rises? Eeehh.

It uses 'Dark Knight' from the last film and just adds rises.

Should use something from comic that it will be based on. LIke Knightfall, Knightend? How about just Batman: Gotham City?
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Aki-at on October 27, 2010, 06:29:34 pm
Considering this is the last Batman film (Or under Nolan's direction) Gotham Rises would probably be the best name I think.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: SOUP on October 27, 2010, 06:43:14 pm
Makes sense as a title.
"The Dark Knight" is the name of the movie that did obscenely well at the box office. Count on that name recognition, as well as paying homage to the Frank Miller stories (Dark Knight Returns, Dark Knight Strikes Back).

It's also probably a big part of the plot.  The Dark Knight was all about him being the behind the scenes protector of Gotham.  This one'll probably have something to do with him rising from the shadows to true hero status or something......I don't know.
It's only a title. Christopher Nolan's making it, so you know it's going to be good. Nothing to worry about :).

That shit is so frustrating.  :evil:


As for Dark Knight Rises, I wonder what comics it will be based on this time. Batman Begins was mainly based on Year One, Dark Knight was based around The Long Halloween, I wonder what they will do for the last. It almost certainly won't be Dark Knight Returns... Maybe Aki-at can help with candidates since he's the resident Bat-Man-Fan. I would say Hush, but that's only because it's the only other one I've read.

Hopefully they make a good World's Finest Superman/Batman crossover.

Yep, its from Joker.

Well we know two of the actors from Inception will be 'lead characters' in the new Batman.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be a confirmed actor and he sort of looks like the late Hedger:

Post by: Barry the Nomad on October 28, 2010, 08:34:28 am
Nolan said Riddler is not in the movie and continues to state that two-face is dead. The first I believe, the second I'm split on. Nolan's early plans for the trilogy was to have two-face return. He stated it once, then didn't talk about it for a while, then when he talked about it again he restated that two-face died in TDK. My guess is that studio execs shut him up and want to have two-face returning as a big surprise. Just a guess though.

As for the Joker, not sure if he'll return. I think Nolan is happy to keep him locked up. At least the character is alive though he'd go unseen. Best they could do is mention his status in Arkham and maybe have him pulling strings from the inside.

Personally I'd like to see two-face return and see the introduction of the Penguin, of course I'd want the new Penguin to be less freak and more aristocrat.

Nintendo posts half-year net loss, a first in seven years
By Thomas Ricker  posted Oct 28th 2010 5:07AM

After three years of record earnings, the mighty house that Mario built is reporting a net loss of ¥2.01 billion ($25 million) in the fiscal first half ending 30 September versus a profit of ¥69.49 billion a year earlier. In addition to the adverse affects suffered under a strong yen, Nintendo's sales for the first half of its fiscal year were down 35 percent to ¥363.16 billion due to lower demand for its Wii console. According to the Wall Street Journal, this represents Nintendo's first net loss in the fiscal first half in the last seven years. The future outlook is pretty grim too with Nintendo forecasting an annual profit drop to the lowest level in six years as Wii console sales decline for the second year in a row. Ouch.

Post by: SOUP on October 28, 2010, 08:52:48 am
After Batman Begins, I remember Nolan and Goyer mentioning a basic outline of the second and third movies. It was basically this:
Movie 2, Joker is the villian, Harvey Dent helps bring him down.
Movie 3, Joker scars Dent at the beginning of the movie while at trial for his crimes, Two-Face is the villian.

The thing is, they combined it all in the second movie to make Dent the big character.  I've read in interviews that Nolan wants to wrap everything up in this movie. In a way that you can't really do in comics, because the story never stops going.

I don't think Bane, Killer Croc, or Poison Ivy are going to be in it, just because Nolan wants to go as realistic as possible.

Honestly, they'll probably go with whatever villain fits the kind of story they're trying to tell, as opposed to picking a villain and writing a story around them.
I could see Catwoman being in there somewhere. Mostly because there's got to be some female lead involved.

^If he really wants to go the realistic route, Penguin could probably fit nicely. I think in more recent times he's just been an eccentric mob boss rather than being a wacky bird-man thing.

Maybe something relating to Hush?

Oh and Ulala5, Bane was in a movie, but I think everyone is trying to forget about it...

I don't Nolan is too crazy about re-casting Joker, apparentely Chris Nolan was shocked at Ledger's death and he doesn't intend to revisit the character.

Now, as far as a villain, I'm surprised it's not The Riddler, that would be the next logical conclusion considering the events of TDK.

I hope that they don't bring back Two-Face, it would be like pulling a Spiderman 3-esque plot twist out of thin air.

They already did Ra's Al Ghul, so that's the another other high profile Batman villain that I can think of. And Scarecrow.

So that would leave Penguin(doubtful), Black Mask, The Mad Hatter(doubftul), Bane and Catwoman.

Well even though everything is different than what is used to for the main series, Penguin is technically dead because when he was Danny DeVito he died or something. PR guys told me this is related so I have complete proof!

When Danny DeVito comes back to life I am going to marry him so we can get all of the benefits one would expect with a marriage. However, it will not work out and we will talk about a divorce, but then I see the elephant drawing he made for me and rethink my plan of action.

I don't know how interesting some of those would be for as the main antagonist for the whole movie.  I'm pretty sure Catwoman would be in there, but there's got to be somebody else. I'd second your pick for Black Mask, and MadeMang's mention of Hush as being in the mix too.

Speaking of Batman villians again, was Black Mask ever a big deal in the comics? I've heard his name thrown around a lot as a potential baddie for the movie and upcoming game, but never heard of him at all before reading his bio in Arkham Asylum. I think he's a cool sounding villian and fits the universe of Nolan's Batman, but he just seems kind of low-profile. That might be a good thing though, I do love when people take low-profile characters and do something great with them. They might be able to include Deadshot as his hit-man or something. I think he would work really well after reading up on him on wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadshot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadshot)
Quote
Within the DC Universe, Deadshot is often a hired assassin, regularly boasting to "never miss." He is capable of using a large variety of weapons, but is most frequently portrayed as using a pair of silenced, wrist-mounted guns. He initially appears in Gotham City as a new crimefighter, but is revealed to be an enemy of Batman when he attempts to replace the Dark Knight. He is sent to jail when Batman and Commissioner Gordon publicly expose his plot to become the king of Gotham's underworld.[1]

@MadeManG74

To be honest, I myself didn't hear much from Black Mask, it wasn't until the most recent Detective Comics, Batman and Catwoman issues that Black Mask turned into a major villain and the defacto mob boss in Gotham.

I endorse Catwoman in this, if only because Selina Kyle was rumoured at one point to be Carmine Falcone's niece.

Black Mask isn't a huge villain in Batman, but he could make a good secondary villain in the movie.
The main reason I'd go with Catwoman over Harley Quinn, is just so that there's a love interest for Batman.

There are a few dtp and image editing jobs floating around the net, otherwise I might have to do admin at my brothers workplace for a while.

They are taking on staff in advertising on the floor above me, I'll be creating ads for the paper instead of designing the pages but it'll at least still be creative.

Good Luck Monkerooney, I know how it feels to lose your job through no fault of your own. Hopefully it ends up working out well for you. I'm now in a far, far better job than I was at the last place, so I hope you find something you enjoy!

Thanks!

To be honest I would like to start creating ads, even if it will most likely involve a pay drop- the last day for people applying for the role is this Friday so hopefully they'll give me an interview!

My old boss has spoken with the head of advertising and hopefully put in a good word or two.

My brother-in-law (as well as most of my family) is expecting me to write a letter with words of encouragement for my father before his "Walk to Emmaus".

What is a "Walk to Emmaus", you say? Here, read for yourself:

Quote
The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leader. The Walk to Emmaus experience begins with a 72 hour short course in Christianity, comprised of fifteen talks by lay and clergy on the themes of God's grace, disciplines of Christian discipleship, and what it means to be the church. The course is wrapped in prayer and meditation, special times of worship and daily celebration of Holy Communion.
By the way, this is going to be a surprise for my dad. He doesn't know he's going to be participating yet... that is if they can make him be willing to participate. This just doesn't *seem* like something my dad would do, unless he felt like he HAD to - and then he'd only do it begrudgingly. He's far too anti-social to volunteer for this kind of thing, really. But, organized religion does have a habit of pressuring people into doing things they don't want to.

I honestly don't know what to write. If you noticed the phrase "intended to strengthen the local church" in the description, then all this seems like it's going to be is a brainwashing session of the church exercising its control over its members. There's no chance something like this would make the attendees "closer to God". If I recall correctly, the scriptures say that just by believing in God, you're already as close to Him as you're going to get in this world. God isn't going to look at my dad in extra favor just because he spends an extra weekend worshiping Him. For this group to believe that it would only means that they carry a self-righteous ego, which is something I'm sure that Jesus would not approve of. Therefore, its only purpose must be to have the church demonstrate its dominance over the daily lives of its people.

All it adds up to is a colossal waste of time. I'm tempted to tell him to just go home and enjoy some nice football games instead. He can pray on his own time and on his own terms, and forget about these cult-like Christian groups.

Bold: I guess you don't recall correcly at all then ;P

But as for the rest... meh.
I don't think your "conspiracy theory" is really true. Jesus used to gather huge groups of people too. Nor do I think the church has intentions of dominance.. more like money. They must be getting some Gs for this, and that indeed would not please Jesus.
Also, "strengthen the local church" doesn't quite sound like spiritual renewal. More like "let's feed you bunch of crap so that you go to church more often".

So yeah, I agree with you.. There are better ways of pleasing God (if you believe in Him) and clearing up your thoughts (regardless), which don't involve some church trying to get some bucks outta people's stress.

Yeah, Samus has lengthy monologues in Fusion, and interacts with her CO. You really got to see her thoughts and feelings about her past and what was currently happening.
And as I said, we've seen the type of person Samus is since the ending of Metroid II.
I just find it funny how so many people are whining about Samus in Other M when her personality has been shown in many previous games.

Wow, there's a bit of a double standard going on in Microsoft Japan.

They have put up with Tecmo's oversexualized fighting game DOA and it's even more sexualized fanservice spin-off DOA Xtreme 2, but this Gal Gun shooter is suddenly too much?

It's probably a publicity stunt, though.

Gal Gun has way worse stuff than those games. You can shoot milk at the girls, and you get extra points if you hit the lowest part of their panties. It also has very, very young girls in it.

Thus why it's a sequel. They knew that people wouldn't be drawn in by the same level of raunchiness twice, so they had to up the ante.

For the third Bayonetta game, they're going to forgo gameplay altogether and just have porn. xD

Well thanks for the concern! Haha, yeah sometimes fighting games can get a bit intense, but usually it's a good kind of intense. I usually just play against friends so I don't really get riled up, but it's still competitive.

Fallout is even better, just wander the wastelands discovering new stuff.

Haven't done a jigsaw puzzle in a long while though.

In any event, today was much, much better than yesterday, everything actually went quite smoothly, and tomorrow is Friday! Boo Yah!

So... impressions on the first footage of the GL movie?

Personally, while I was surprised at first, they seriously picked the footage that made it look like some comedy and the fact that Blake Lively is mentioned before the lead actor kinda tells that they(ET) aren't serious about this.

Having said that, I hope they tweak those special effects for the next 6 months, cause it looks a little cartoony.

Just finished taking down all the decorations from a big Christmas fundraiser put on by the Lung Association of Ontario.

Driving loads of boxes and risers from the hotel/conference centre was pretty perilous. The weather here's gotten particularly nasty.  Snow to freezing rain = black ice everywhere.

Thursday! Not long until the weekend, where I'll probably once again just stay home and play Vidya games. Not that I'm complaining, since i do all my going out on weeknights it seems.

This Tuesday I went out with friends to dinner, then last night I was at a Michael Jackson party for the launch of the new game and album, so now I've got two (probably busy) days of work and by friday I'll be ready to pass out at 9PM in front of the Xbox.

Oh yes, hopefully I can get some perspex by the weekend so I can finish working on my Arcade Stick that has just been a cube for a fortnight.

So a couple days ago the most awkward situation arose.

There I was at my University's library, studying with a friend of mine for the then upcoming Mathematical Analysis exam (which went down horribly by the way).
Out of the bloody blue, my ex-girlfriend comes in with a colleague of hers (not her boyfriend, if she has one).

So she comes over me and gives me a two-kiss compliment (normal hello in Portugal). She asks if she can stay there. I'm baffled! "Sure I guess" I reply with a confused look on my face.

So for the next hour and half she just sits there listening to her classical music while the other dude is reading some book. I start to get nervous and lose my focus, so I can't concentrate on my studying.

I text my college chick cuddly friend in an attempt that she coming over might scare my ex off, but she's in class.
Meanwhile she grabs my laptop and goes facebook all over. I'm in no mood to even care.
So I get up and go to the bathroom. At this point I'm mindfucked beyond comprehension an can't figure out what the hell she's doing there!

I fresh up, and again I sit, this time with renewed confidence.
She starts small talking and stuff. We talk for about half an hour, me struggling to not spit on her face like I should. At this point my friend is up to the happening and is looking at me like "dude, what the fuck".

So she finally decides to leave (the other dude is long gone by the way). And she asks me if I may walk her out. I may say lots of shit about her, but she does know how to persuade a dude.

So after a minute long walk to the door she says something like "so I guess I'll see you around some other time.. chaau"
I'm just staring now. I have no idea what was that all about. I am mentally tired.

I go to the nearest cafe and ask for a bica (strong short expresso).

And that's my story of the week.

I'd say just confront her about it.

She wants to see that you miss her. Don't let her get what she wants. Act like her presence does not effect you and she will be miserable and leave. She will most likely act like she likes you. Women are brutal beasts.

Then I woke up and realized that he wasn't real, and those brilliant game designs weren't his - they were mine! =O So I immediately got a pen and a notepad and drew them all down. ^__^

Too Human was restarted like five times. It was not in development for a constant stream of time, there were whole years where they did not even work on it.

I think it is funny how you brought Forza Motorsport 3 in here though. The company that developed it made three games within the time between GT4 and GT5, so it is hard to compare directly. Every game has glitches, though, of course!

The last video you posted made me laugh incredibly hard.

Right on, man.

Anyway, back on topic, I was very dissapointed by that MD Play portable Genesis console, I went to Mediamarkt this afternoon and they had one of those on display for people to try it out.

And boy, did it suck badly, I learned that this was manufactured by a chinese company called AtGames which had an agreement with Sega on this, but actually trying it, the whole thing just feels off, first the games, the sound is off, the music is either too speed up or two slow downed, the Sonic & Knuckles rom was the worst, the mushroom hill stage sounded slow as heck and the ring sounds were completely different. And Golden Axe also sounded off, when hooked onto a LCD TV, it actually looks pretty bad. The Mega Drive Ultimate Collection is a GodSend compared to this.

I didn't test the ROM features for obvious reasons, but as it is I don't think it's worth the 50€ price tag.

Also, my VGA HD cable just arrived from Hong Kong and either it's damaged or it's just the way it is, because the image is horrible, either way, I hope they give me a refund or ship me one that's working properly.

I know there is bad people in all religions, but you have to question the motive of the church that doesn't punish priests that do this sort of stuff and go on to say homosexuals will burn in hell. I encourage people to believe in God, but drop Catholic religion, not even Jesus or God would approve of this shit.

Also Chrome App Store is open. Meh. Its  OK. Most is HTML5/Flash/Links to sites as 'apps'.

Get an open-source handheld like a GP2X or Pandora. I have a GP2X and I can play all mega-drive games perfectly emulated, Neo Geo, SUper Nintendo, PC games, arcade games, listen to mp3s... they're great.

@George

Ya know,I get the impression that some people haven't followed Pope Benedict at all, he has been condemning child molestation left and right and reaching out to said victims of abuse. As far as "protecting" the priests of alleged wrongdoing, the catholic church(and other organized religions), like the military(heck like just about any corporation, even), having an hierachy and an horizontal structure, handles their own insubordination from within in the same way military tribunals are used to handle problems. If there's an internal problem, then the situation has to be handled from within.´

Tutition fees going to 9,000 British pounds a year ($14,214, 10,738 EUR and just for mang $14,415) after today, looks like Labour lost, the Conservatives have won and the Liberal Dems have been chickens.

A shame, a dark day for British education. I expect our system to fall rather dramatically into the deep end overall with only a few excellent universities left in the country.

I can totally understand the college student's frustrations, however, they are wrong to think that a college degree is an entitelment, it is an investment that may or may not pay off, depending on how well you do in College.

It is not about something being an entitlement or not. And in any case, they pay that investment through general taxation if they begin to enjoy a large income. But that was not entirely my point.

Providing free education for all is beneficial to everyone in the country, it allows us to train the greatest minds ready to improve our country further and improve all the needed sectors. Having state funded courses for hair cutting is silly; having state funded courses for further education in engineering, science etc is not however.

All this will do is bring down many universities, damage our education system further and give us a fair few less graduates in the future. With a damaging recession we've just come out of, I'd expect many people having a hard time justifying going to university.

I realize it may same strange to Americans to see us complaining about tutition fees, but the fear is, and a justifiable fear too, that fees will continue to rise. Plus, we already pay a large level of taxes (Which I personally do not mind myself, not sure why people are against general taxation as long as it's put to good use)

Which they have, introduced in the late 90s, at 3,000 British pounds, then top up fees were added and now we go to a maximum of 9,000 British pounds a year. It is not exactly out of the norm to see believe it to continue to rise.

Wow, the average tuition for state-owned public colleges in Portugal is roughly 800/950 GBP/EUR year. However, the real cost of a student in said public college is roughly 2.500/3000 GBP/EUR per year, so about 75% is supported by tax payer money.

That's what's been pissing a lot of people off in Portugal, mainly because the current goverment, whom our PM makes Tony Blair look like Margeret Thatcher, has dumbed down education for one nasty reason:

To statiscally improve school drop-out percentages by dumbding down education so much that nobody flunks;

Which in turn results into colleges getting filled with people who, despite their best intentions, don't have the stomach or simply don't have the capacity to actually go through college.

Hopefully, this isn't the real issue with British colleges.

Trippy! Yeah, I got that rolly crate thing back in the early 90's. The top lid is made to hold an NES or Genesis, however with the SEGA CD attached it can't fit in there. So that space has become a garage of sorts for my Nomad and Game Gear.

I just finished watching the Spike TV VGA Awards.

Honestly, nex year, just show the trailers and have slideshows about the winners.

Because, whoever scripted that show is under the impression that gamers are 15 year-olds who just like to shoot things.

The fact that the studios awards came first, kinda proves that they have no respect for these institutions and they pretty much just nominate studios from the same country or close enough, otherwise they won't bother showing up.

Notice how all the nominees are basically the games that they talk about non-stop on Invisible Walls.

And Neil Patrick Harris... seriously?
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Sega Uranus on December 13, 2010, 01:42:47 pm
Neil Patrick Harris is awesome... You shut your mouth!

Otherwise, I completely agree. The 2010 VGAs was a complete joke - Which is not to say any year prior was ever any good. It seemed more like a bad skit show this year though I think, with a bunch of nobodies. It was really annoying how in the first hour and a half they gave out like three awards, then the last half an hour had like 12 given out in a quick slideshow... WTF??

Loved that Halo Reach violin piece though (MAJOR SPOILERS though), and the Uncharted 3 trailer really had me pumped. Otherwise, I felt bad watching the whole thing, specifically My Chemical Romance which single handedly made me never want to purchase Gran Turismo 5.

The Disc battles and Light-Cycles are the highlights of the movie for sure.

I AM BACK FROM THE DED GUYS

I haven't been able to spend some time around here lately. Now it's christmas break but I have a shitload of shit to study and compile. Life's hard now.

Quick update on my life:
-the first row of exams went on terribly well. I passed at everything with acceptable to excellent marks. Pressure is on for the final semester exams. We'll see how that goes.

-I've started going out with this girl. She is very sweet. She had a boyfriend but they broke up. How do I keep getting in the middle of these situations? Anyway, she makes me happy and I'm hoping something good comes out of this relationship.

-Holy shit. NeoGeo games on PSN.

-Since I barely have time to wipe my ass, I'm considering selling some of my games for some cash. First off I'm selling my N64 and all the games. If anyone's interested, hit me up ;)

-I'm loving the roundtable articles you guys are pumping out. Would love to be involved once I get some time.

I miss you guys. I think about you everyday ;)

Well.

All we had in the house was Vanilla chai... which i heard is really sugary.. so I figured it would be fine once.. but I want something else next time I drink tea.

Anyways. I took the advice Sharky gave me and had it with sugar and milk. Although I got a feeling I didn't leave the tea bag in the cup long enough.

It's OK, I can deal with it.

The vet is currently looking a way to see just how serious her condition is and maybe ease the pain. Hopefully, the cancer(which has mutated into a huge lump on her upper breast) hasn't reached her lungs yet and maybe they can tone it down or remove it partially. Even so, the vet told me she doesn't have much time left, regardless of the outcome.

To keep things on a negative vibe, I've been feeling pretty depressed lately for some reason. I don't really know what it is, since everything in my life has been really good to great except for one thing which has kind of been hanging over me half the year.

I think it's the fact that I'm now off work for a little while and i've just had a lot more idle time meaning I've been dwelling on it unfortunately.

Oh well, Panzer Dragoon Saga is a very good anti-depressant at least. I think it's just that I haven't been able to spend as much time with friends as I had hoped since many are working through holidays or going away for the Christmas break.

I am planning to finally work on my new arcade stick again though, so on a more positive note: Suggestions for arcade stick artwork GOGOGOGOGOGO!
Feel free to suggest any cool pictures, I can't guarantee i'll use them though!

I'm thinking about using this; Rugal is one of my favourite fighting game characters along with Mature.

As Geese Howard would say: Predictable!

Although, out of those characters I do actually sometimes use Chris, but I use Orochi Chris, not regular.

EDIT: May as well show my progress,

Here's what the parts looked like early on, I just cut the inner supports and had the perspex and MDF board for the top plate cut earlier. The box had been assembled for a while.
(http://http://i54.tinypic.com/30tqmis.jpg)


And here is is after gluing in the inner supports and drilling all the holes, placing some buttons in for place-holders and to see how it'll look. The top plate is actually perspex, but it's covered with the protective film at the moment. I'll put the art underneath the perspex so that it's got a clean finish but I can interchange the art.
(http://http://i55.tinypic.com/qogi75.jpg)

It's currently hanging in the garage with a coat of varnish, so tomorrow I'll probably be sanding it down and giving it another coat. If I have time and the inclination I may start on the soldering too. I might leave that for the weekend or next week though.

As for Storm though, I don't know what happened to him. I guess he's just been busy.

IDEA!

For each board list we should change it so that the instead of a giant S on each one it could spell out SEGA. Think about it!

S - SEGA New and Discussion
E - Eh, them sure is some old SEGA games you got there
G - GAMES, OTHER
A - Also other things

And why is the gabage puyo not being used?! It is grey already!!
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Sharky on December 31, 2010, 02:25:20 am
That did cross my mind about the gabage puyo

The reason the gabage puyo isnt being used is that, normal threads can be both 'normal topic' and 'popular topic' both need to have grey versions (to indicate no new posts) but they need to also let you know if they are popular topics or not.

I did want to use the garbage puyo but... it wasn't as useful as it first seemed.

I also, really like the expression of the Star/Crown and Moon. So needed to use them.

My arcade stick is nearly done, the varnish is drying and all the holes are drilled.

The colour scheme is going to be Red buttons for everything except Back and Start which will be red, and red Ball Top. Because of that, I want to do a Black and white background, I've been messing around with some images and monochroming them etc and I've narrowed it down to these two:

Good picture, but I'm not sure how it would look for the background of a stick. Plust I wanted the black and white thing for this one.

Virtua Fighter stuff is usually too detailed to be used a background where most of it is covered by buttons anyway.

I did consider these though:

Rockmelt, a form of Chrome is pretty sweet. Doesn't crash like Chrome use to on me.

Honestly I think all browsers have good things and bad things about them. You'll never find a browser that is perfect, because the webpage could be designed poorly or overcomplex (like facebook, which I find always has problems) and people blame their web browser for that. I say just stick to whatever you use and call it a day :)

But yeah, it's not surprising that people thing Sydney is the capital, it's much bigger and more well known than Canberra is. Canberra basically has it's own Territory within New South Wales, solely to hold parliament.

Well, I got off the phone with the company I'll be working with. I'll be punching in on Monday 9 am, next week. We still haven't worked two things out: How many work hours exactly and how much will my pay be?
It's a part time job, so obviously it's below minimum wage and I don't have classes till March, so I'm completely available for the time being, so that's not an issue.

The pay is the tricky part: How much is my time worth? What should I factor in?

I'll start doing some research.

Well, I went to a job interview this morning. If things go smoothly, I'll be a part-time web admininstrator and web page designer starting next monday. I really need to thank my cousin for hooking me up with those guys.

I am so freaking out right now... Of joy, of course.

Out of curiosity what do you charge hourly for freelance work?

I had that talk with my future employer, but I still don't know how much will my fee be.

I know web designers get payed by the hour, but apparentely I'll be getting a comission for every website(about 10-15%) I build for the customers.

Other than that, I'll be mostly watching the company servers and being a small company, I'll also be doing some menial tasks for them.

I also went back today and upgraded my older arcade stick with new art and removed those unseemly brass screws. Unfortanately I wasn't able to get a new Perspex plate for the front case, so it's still a bit ratty. Hopefully I can update it later with a new panel. The varnish makes it look a lot lnicer than it used to though.

Only on a very superficial level, there's a few books out there detailing some Hitler's Worker's National Socialist Party(yes, that was the full name of Hitler's Nazi party) overall social experiments as both Staline and Hitler's idea was to create a completely state-dependent and state-controlled society. And much like state-dependent societies, everytime something went horribly wrong, they would just pin the blame on someone, preferably something vague and invisible, to scare people...

What some today call "market speculators" the root of all problems, back then, they went by a different name: "Jews" and Christians as well.

So completely random arrests and executions were the bread and butter of both these regimes, because they were also never given any actual profile of what an "evil-doer"  does or how they look like.

Hitler was also a strong advocate for gun control, because he didn't want the people to put 2 and 2 together suddenly realize their mistake and impeach him, by force if necessary.

Both Staline and Hitler wanted a controlled news media and both had their fair share of "useful idiots" and "puppet celebrities" to help their cause.

The short answer is: Different means, but ultimately the same goals.

Yes. The standard gear goes like this: Gun, baton, OC spray, taser, and handcuffs.
The kind of guns used depend on the police service (RCMP use different ones than the OPP).
In Ontario, it's all regulated as far as exactly what types of guns officers are given.

There are only two words that can describe the current portuguese goverment and that is: "comically corrupt".

There was an auction where a lot of portuguese public debt was apparentely bought by an unspecified number of countries.

China appears to be have bought some of Portugal's debt in some unspecified and murky deals that were made. The Ministry of Finance comment on this? "It's possible that China may have bought some of Portugal's debt". That is all. Transparency at it's best. I laughed when I read the headline.

I'm certain Chris Nolan will make it work. I mean, the dude took a teen heart throb that I admittedly didn't like at all at the time and made him the ultimate Joker.

Far more excited for Dark Knight Rises than I am for "Spider-Man: the reboot of Spider-Man 1 that is being filmed less than ten years after the first and only 5 years after the last one". I prefer a continuation of a story rather than another freakin reboot.

I actually don't mind reboots myself, especially if the first attempt just didn't work out or wasn't really true to the source. Good example is The Punisher. 2004 film was a good action flick, but it wasn't The Punisher. I was stoked to find that Warzone was going to be a re-boot rather than a sequel. Unfortunately that didn't turn out too well either. Needless to say, if they made ANOTHER reboot I would be very happy. I love seeing different interpretations of the same character like that sometimes.

You forgot the 1990's Punisher with Dolph Lundgren.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on January 20, 2011, 07:44:48 am
Yeah, Punisher and Hulk have been rebooted like crazy. Well... the Hulk sequel was more of a semi-sequel than a full on reboot. Though, with Ed Norton not in the Avengers movie it'll be yet another Bruce Banner. That'll be three in one decade!

Thing is, with Spider-Man, they really could have made a great fourth film with the old cast. Only reason 3 wasn't so good was due to the studio pushing Raimi to include Venom. If a director has no interest in a character, then don't push them to include one in their film. Sandman, on the other hand, was well done. However he didn't get a lot of screen time. Same goes for Harry Osbourne, he had a great character arc through the three movies and yet didn't get enough screen time to develop in the third film.

Spider-Man 4 with the Lizard and Kraven would have been awesome! Weird transformations, horror and whackos with weapons are right up Raimi's alley. Since 3 did away with Harry, Venom and Sandman, there would be no baggage to hold down the fourth film. It could have been just Spider-Man fighting the Lizard, while at the same time trying to save his mutated professor from Kraven. Toss in J.J.Jameson (who is not in the upcoming movie), stick Mary Jane in the background and you've got yourself a great movie. Or at the very least, something better than 3 and equal with 2.

Check out Brokeback Mountain, or Rachel Getting Married. She's a really good actress, and I'm sure that she'll do a fantastic job in the role. Especially considering she was cast by Christopher Nolan. Remember the reaction when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker? A lot of fanboys were pretty critical of that one, but it resulted in one of the most iconic movie villains in recent memory.

Tom Hardy should also be pretty cool as Bane.

I haven't actually seen that one, and it was so long ago I think it doesn't fall into Barry's idea of 'fast reboots'. Thanks for bringing it up though, I've been meaning to check this movie out.

Does just changing actors mean a reboot though? I would argue it's just a sequel.

Also, I agree that Spider-Man 4 could have been done well with Raimi, (also we never saw Bruce Campbell is Mysterio ;_;), but at the same time, if it's not gonna happen, I also don't mind a re-boot.

Finally, I would love to see someone attempt a Dark Knight Returns style Joker character.

I actually thought by the time of Spiderman 3, Sam was starting to lose it and it was evident it was time to let him go;

[spoiler:22947iy5]I mean seriously, hey Mary Jane you're an enormous bitch, you're boyfriend goes out there risking his life from day to day and you have some sort of stupid ego that you're issues, which are just acting, is bigger than a man who risks his life on a daily basis? If I was Pete I would have been done with her

Harry got amnesia, then he remembered, then he got half his face blown off, then well, it's a bit of a mess

And hey Sandman, you just so happened to accidently shot my uncle by some guy tapping you on your shoulder and I'm meant to forgive you?

Oh and you kill off Venom when he only has 20 minute screen time? Like I know some Spidey fans absolutely hate Venom but come on...[/spoiler:22947iy5]

It's funny because when I first saw it, I thought it was an okay film, but looking back at it, Spiderman 3 was really terrible and not just because of Venom...

Anyway, my first month of work is coming to a close, I did mostly a lot of warehouse tasks(gutting packages, inserting labels, pilling up boxes and preparing them for shipping), you know, kind of like what Ryo did at the harbor in disc 3 of Shenmue. But since we're having a slow week, I finally got my hands on some actual web design tools and let me tell you,guys, Joomla is awesome! You can literally do all kinds of websites and there's thousands and thousands of extensions that do a ton of things.

My recent assingment is to transfer all of content (assets,pdf files,etc)  from my boss's company website which operates from Joomla 1.5 to a brand new one that's already on 1.6.

Takes a lot longer than I thought, we tried exporting all of his press releases and articles, but since there's no export tool that's compatible with both versions, we decided, well screw it, let's just copy and paste the whole thing over.

Awesome!

Yeah, that's true, I'm having a little trouble getting the skin to work on Joomla 1.6. The company who created the skin hasn't released a version compatible with 1.6. Fortunately, it's not a high priority right now.

Wordpress works better for blogs, so not a bad choice at all.

Moving on...

Really been depressed the past few days due to terrible family stuff, but I should be alright soon. I got a lot of junk food ready for Yakuza 3 as well as NANOMACHINES: Guns of the Patriots and 3D Dot Game Heroes, but apparently these are super junky. Like these soft pretzels alone are supposedly a full days worth of calories, and that is just going to be a snack I have during some cutscenes.

I will turn into Kage from Yakuza in a week.

Just realized I have enough money to buy this forklift:

Of course I'd be broke for the month and would not be able to pay for the wedding, but I'd have a forklift!

edit: this one would be better for Shenmue cosplay, but is far too expensive for me:

I think my copy of Super Street Fighter IV hates me all of the sudden.

As I've played it over the past week the Arcade mode difficulty suddenly cranked up to super-difficult, despite being set on "Very Easy". I can't even get past the first few battles now versus the computer players. I changed it to "Easiest" thinking that maybe it would go back to normal, but it is every bit as hard on that difficulty. What's going on?!? I like to set a game at a difficulty and I like it to stay there unless I tell it otherwise.  Now it seems the game is refusing me the pleasure of running through arcade mode without getting me frustrated.

Since this is the technical assistance thread:

My mod chipped Japanese Dreamcast plays every game, except for San Francisco Rush 2049 which I just bought. It gets to the "produced or dev'd by SEGA..." and then kicks back to the system menu. I tried a boot disc, which got the game to a black screen after the "produced or dev'd by SEGA...", VMU displayed the game logo, but no game started up.

Then, hoping it wasn't a laser problem, I tried about 5 other games (Japanese, euro, US, indie, burned), and all played flawlessly. Then I tried SFR2049 in my other Dreamcast (standard US model), it played perfectly on VGA and RCA booting up every time.

So I've concluded that for some odd reason, SFR2049 just does not work on a Japanese modded Dreamcast. Not a laser problem or scratched disc, just an oddity.

@Barry:
That's pretty messed up.
My PAL copy of Rez only works intermittently when I use the DC-X disc on a North American Dreamcast. Big reason why I picked up the Japanese version. I wonder if the PAL Rush 2049 has the same issues.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on February 08, 2011, 07:25:57 am
Yeah, if you can give it a try, I'd be most intrigued to hear what happens. I doubt it's a faulty disc, as like I said it works perfectly on my other two consoles (both unmodded US models). Also, my tests ruled out a bad laser. Perhaps 2049 is the ultimate region protected disc? Like it was bitten by a radioactive lawyer or something.

God, I hate the internet sometimes. First the story came out that PSN was hacked and that Credit Card info that is sent to Sony via PSN isn't protected... few hours later we find out out that it is protected via SSL, same shit used on the web.

BUT in theory, CFW (Custom Firmware) could have it so if you 'send' Sony 'credit card' information, they will send it to them, uncompile it then send it to Sony.

But ... you can't get on PSN via CFW anymore... mute point?

Honestly, the first season of Human Target is well worth your time. A throwback to the old Mission Impossible/James Bond type of adventure with a little bit of Macgyver thrown into the mix.

Great characters, gorgeous babe-of-the-week character and overall good action series.

Season 2... on the other hand... Is a complete trainwreck from episode 2 onwards.

Human Target's producers should've gone with the old sayin':"If it isn't broke, then don't fix it".

Instead of action, we have to put up with two "Jar-Jar Binks"-esque characters.

Really? I consider it to be tiny! Wahahaha!

Actually, back in college there was this girl (tiny girl, like 5 feet tall) who had a tall boyfriend (he was black, but I don't like to stereotype). Anyway, he was the only man she had been with up til then, and he reportedly had a 10" dong. So to her, 10" was normal. Then they broke up, and she slept with another dude and claimed he was tiny because he was, in her words, 8". Women.

Anyway... yeah. Peninises.

What the fuck??

What weirds me out even more is that I have a private cell phone number, so clearly its somebody from senior year of high school to now. Only person I can think of was a friend of mine who I haven't heard from for years. Last I heard, he was about to be married, then broke things off and got a sex change. lol

Maury saga continues:

So I'm home sick today, get a knock at the door, it's Pizza Hut (WTF?). The pizza has a note attached saying the same thing the Maury people told me on the phone. THEN the pizza lady dialed a number and was like "I was instructed to call them when you receive the pizza" and was like "yeah, he's here" then she whispers "they wanna talk to you, but i gotta go, i got more deliveries and they only paying $5."

so i got on the phone and rushed the Maury woman along due to the pizza lady having to leave, I received some hints and was like "is it Lincoln, my friend from college?" and the Maury woman says "well I don't know if she- er, they gave that info" and I said "did Lincoln get a sex change like I heard he did?" and the Maury woman said "uh, I think you guessed it. So can you come? Two days, this Thursday/Friday, we can pay you $150 and cover travel". I declined, due to having a job and projects need to be finished, plus 2 days notice is impossible. LOL then the woman then offers up $300, like that'll get me! I would lose more than $300 in unpaid vacation days, lol. So I said no, but gave her the phone numbers for two friends of mine who knew the dude/dudette. What a day...

I hope I don't offend anyone, but is "taffy" some sort of deragatory term to describe people from Wales?

Parents, eat a dick.

Also, taffy is a sweet right?
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on March 10, 2011, 08:12:37 pm
Taffy is typically sugar, butter and flavoring mixed and pulled into a sticky mess then dried, chopped up and sold at state fairs and ye olde timey candy shops.

Watching a taffy pulling machine can be hypnotic:

Wonder if those taffyheads in Wales like salt water taffy?

I got banned from NeoGAF for making a joke. Basically the 'producer' of Team ICO said that women can't hold on to ledges like men, so that is why he didn't make the leads female. Is he sexist? I commented that I didn't care what he did with his free time, even if he beat women, as long as he made great games.

Banned for life. No warning.

Just because someone's talented doesn't mean they are a good or bad person. Just saying.

Man, this whole HDMI cable thing is one heck of a scam.

Now that almost every electronic equipment comes with an HDMI port (many DVD players and Blu-Ray players don't even have a Scart port anymore), a lot of electronics retailers clutter their stores with the most expensive HDMI cables possible. Even the store brand ones are very expensive. What a rip-off!

I don't know, I think they've sold quite well. Crazy Taxi and SA1 are still in many of the XBLA featured lists, like highest rated and best sellers. I'm certain the profit was more than made.

This is where i get HDMI cables, dirt cheap!

I don't know if it would be worth it after shipping costs and stuff since you aren't in the US, but I figured it would be worth a look

Yes I would do that, except that there is an import restriction in Portugal for ordering from the US. Basically anything that's above 30USD(except books) has to be withheld at customs and I have to pay for import taxs.

And beleive me when I say this: marking down the price or sending it as a commercial sample or gift doesn't work. The customs officials are smarter than you'd think.

We had a transit strike in Philly last year and it was fucking awful! All the buses and subways were out of operation for a week, yet the region rail (takes people out of the city to the suburbs, etc.) was in full operation. So all the trains went to, like, quadruple capacity with all the ex-bus and ex-subway riders. And since they only run hourly, your 5pm train isn't your train anymore. You had to wait for the 8pm train due to all the lines. It was a hell of a week.

I'll take some more tylenol before going to bed along with more mucinex :) will be better in no time hopefully.

Wow, Invisible Walls is really heartless, you know...

This week, they touched on Motorstorm: Apocalypse being delayed (for two f***ing weeks) for them not wanting to offend people's sensibilities. They talk only very briefly about the other few very obscure games and not a peep about Sega's PS3 title.

So Sega essentially having to throw money away after so many resources into it's big Japanese tentpole title, which is usually a best seller in Japan, just because they didn't want people to be offended, is unworthy of any acknowledgement. But Motorstorm: Apocalypse being delayed for two weeks, God Help Us... Dicks...

Had endo sinus surgery yesterday morning. They put me under, went into my nose and chopped out some shit that was causing me to be unable to breathe. Woke up 2 hours later, chilled out in the hospital for a bit, then went home. I've been changing gauze out from under my nose every few hours, yesterday my nose was bloody as hell, today it's minimal (thank god). Just a few drips. Also, I have to wear an ice pack on my face for 20 minutes, then off for 20, etc.

So I've been watching Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings, Venture Bros. seasons 3&4 and am hoping to play some games today. Should be back to work and SEGAbitting tomorrow.

Then I have to pay my taxes... GULP!

In full disclosure: the shit were nasal polyps. They're small growths in the nasal passages that can become easily enflamed if allergies or flus or a fever hits. From the sound of it, I was born with them and they only recently were infected. Last year I felt as though my nose was completely blocked for a month, then it cleared up. Then, last month, it happened again and I went in. The doc spotted them and I went in for surgery. I'm a-o-k now, very little chance of them returning. Just gonna be taking a lot of saline solution and some steroids for the next few weeks.

When the fuck are they gonna remake RE2? In fact, I would love to see a re-release of 2, 3 and Code Veronica on XBLA or something too. Even just upscaled to HD would be cool with a few minor upgrades and fixes. I would say RE1 as well, but we already had REmake. Maybe just chuck that on a service somewhere?
RE4 and Code Veronica where announced a few days ago for PSN/XBLA.

How is RE4? Is it fun and will I shit my pants?

Have you ever played RE1 throught to Code Veronica? That's pretty much how RE was for the first four games. It's a slow paced actual horror game, not a fast paced action game like RE4 and 5. Personally I like the old style gameplay just as much or more as RE4 and 5.

And RE4 is all kinds of wonderful, honestly it's one of the best games ever I would say. Get it when it comes out and bring a change of underpants (not because it's scary, but because it's awesome).

I want an iMac.. and an actual desk... lol my current desk sucks. then again, it would be just fine for an iMac... just needs to be painted or something.. paint has been chipping off it for years. It's a desk that was in my dads house when he was a kid.

My current setup sucks though. so sick of using my TV as a monitor, sounded like a cool idea at first, but it's just one huge inconvenience. I mean it'd be great if I wasn't doing graphics work.. but it makes doing web design stuff really really hard.. xD. I looked up what kinds of monitors graphics designers use.. a lot use IPS cause of the color accuracy. IPS monitors are pretty expensive... cheapest one I saw at newegg was like 300 dollars.

So I was thinking I'd just get an iMac instead.. since those are IPS monitors too, plus then I get to use OS X! yay! Plus I've been using iMacs at school.. they are just so amazing and i want one really bad XP

Wordpress, the older versions when I was at SN would always crash on me for some reason. One time I did a review and it crashed. LOST. Did it again and it crashed, LOST.

I was bitching at Chris and his like "Dude, I thought everyone just used word then transferred it?"

=.= "I do too man... what do I look like an idiot?"

I still don't like to transfer from word or openoffice. Something about it just creeps me out.

It wasn't quite WP itself. My Toshiba laptop crashed for absolutely no reason.

I used to write on Word then transfered it over, but I felt it was a lot easier to just write on WP and save while writing. I rarely saved because I would finish a piece quickly and just post it.

This one was much longer than what I'm used to, but like I said, my latop, ever since I updated the latest BIOS, it very rarely crashes.

A writer for Kotaku wrote a story about how he can't get into games anymore. I think he is in the wrong business. Not only that, it got a ton of agrees with people at N4G, who whine about every game ever. What do they say? All games now suck.

It's weird, I feel this way right now about movies in general. Hollywood is creatively bankrupt as of late.

I've been enjoying video games far more than a couple of years back.

I feel that paying full price for a video game is more than money well spent compared to to buying a full price DVD.

But I can understand why some gamers feel this way, after the 11,460th Call of Duty clone this generation, there's very little creativity outside of the established tentpole franchises.

But as far as Kotaku goes, I'm done with them. Their new blog design is horrible and frankly, they should stop reporting about games and do more reports about Japanese culture instead, because that's all they're doing these days anyway.

And even then, IGN did a feature about Yakuza 4 where they invited a US reporter to chat about Yakuza. I learned more about how the japanese mafia works in that IGN feature than reading half of the crap on Kotaku.

I have to disagree, I mean there is so much great stuff out there this generation that I don't get how people can be bored. There is literally at least one new game every single week available to the public, and that's only the more mass-market retail stuff. When you take into account the more obscure titles and online only titles etc there's just tons of games to play. I mean, there really is such a huge wealth of variety and titles out there that it's almost mind-boggling to think that you could dislike all of it, or get bored with all of it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you think that the industry has gotten boring or that games are all dull and samey, you are just not looking hard enough.

Go and buy Zeno Clash on XBLA or Steam for a prime example of something really unique.

Yeah, it really bugs me when people say the industry is ruined or games suck now or something. In every case I know of this is from people who are upset games are not the same as when they were played them most, like when they were growing up.

I can understand getting exhausted by genres or certain franchises, but there has never been more choices when it comes to ways to purchase, find or even make games. In my opinion, the industry is better.

Of course I miss the days when every other game was a platformer, but some great platformers are being released for petty cash and have dozens of new reasons to play through them multiple times, whether that be online stuff, add-on content, online multiplayer, almost anything nowadays. It is just hard for me to complain.

Probably the most common phrase people use to hate on a company is that they're "greedy" or "only care about money" or something. Maybe sometimes there is some truth to those sayings, but it's either said too much, or sometimes the people who accuse the company of such don't seem to know much about the people who work at the actual company.
EDIT: And besides, what if some of the people saying such things also do things for money as well?

Whining about Kotaku, they are now banning users for suggesting stuff. This user suggesting that giving the 'star' power to anyone that submits just anything is stupid, since most of the older users had to do a ton of good comments over the years to earn theirs.

Guess what? Fuck you, you are banned.

So shitty site layout, shitty week old articles, bad original content and now banning long time users? Kotaku wants to drive users away.

Random thoughts on Wrestlemania 27:

Surprisingly good PPV.

Edge vs Del Rio was too good to be the opening match. Del Rio showed that he can take it.

Undertaker vs Triple H was cool, but we all knew how this would end.

Randy Orton vs CM Punk was very good, nice fithing psychology.

John Cena vs The Miz: Unfortunately, I knew how this would turn out. You see, here's the problem, Miz is a great heel and Cena's twice the size that he is. It's one of those peculiar situations where the heel feels very underpowered against the face. And considering that Cena can't seem to sell hits, it would be pretty obvious how it would turn out. You see, most of Miz's early matches with Cena went roughly like this: Miz throwing everythin' and the kitchen sink at Cena and he swiftly burns out and beats him.

Dwayne Jonhson highjacking the show was kinda meh...

But overall, great PPV, very little botching, not like... that other show.

Well this was all I wanted to watch, and I did.

When Tripple H gave Taker the tomb stone, I was sure it was aware and I was screaming with my eyes for that not to be the way Undertaker's streak ends.

The whole Tripple H yelling "stay down and die" was an extreme version of What taker told Shawn last year, but I don't understand how Taker was getting his ass kicked so much. I mean he is capable of putting more of a fight.

The way the match ended was surprising, I think the ideal thing would've been to use the sledge hammer to brake free.

The whole Taker not being able to stand up with Tripple H still standing up strong after the match ended was probably a good way for him to loose the match.

Even though taker one the match, he lost the fight kinda thing.

I dunno, it seems that in WWE especially the face is ALWAYS dominant unless it's a monster heel (eg Andre the Giant vs Hogan, Umaga vs anyone). It seems they love having the heel get their ass kicked day in day out and only win by cheating or something like that.

Wrestlemania 27 was the first wrestling PPV I'd seen since Wrestlemania 18.
The whole thing was a bit of a let-down for me. Having the World Heavyweight title as the first match of the night seemed pretty odd. Especially when a match with Snooki was the second match last of the night.
I'd never seen The Miz or John Cena wrestle before, and for a main event, it was a bit depressing. Hulk Hogan probably had way less wrestling ability than these guys, but he could put on a good show. (and ring-out call...in a main event at Wrestlemania???)

The Rey Mysterio match kinda bummed me out, because I was expecting more of a high-flying match. The US title match wasn't even shown.

On the plus side, I was really impressed with the CM Punk and Randy Orton match (again, I'd never seen either of them wrestle before).

Undertaker vs. HHH was the main reason I checked out the PPV, and I wasn't disappointed. Great match from the two of them. They do a great job of making it look like Undertaker's going to lose every year.  The end of the match was a bit anti-climactic. I don't have any problem with a match ending via submission. I'm sure that that move the Undertaker did would hurt like hell, it's just that it doesn't have a lot of showmanship to it. Sharpshooter, Figure-Four, Crippler Crossface, Ankle Lock, all great finishers. You immediately know what they're hurting, and you can see the face of the unfortunate soul stuck in it. That way they can really sell it, and bring some drama to the whole thing.

I fell out of watching wrestling a while ago, and missed this year's WM. I know what move you are talking about I think, it's that gogoplata move, and yes it's stupid for pro-wrestling. It's a move used in MMA, and it's meant to be a counter against someone who's tackled you ar trying to mount you, since you are on your back. In wrestling, just doing it like that is dumb because it looks dull, and it puts you in a pinning position. ALSO it's a blatant choke hold, which is supposed to be illegal anyway! WWE have had horrible, horrible finishers recently though. Like Big Show just punching people in the head, which has all the same problems. Undertaker should have stuck with his Triangle Hold if he needed a submission.

And yes, CM Punk is a very talented wrestler, and Rey Mysterio is getting pretty old and Roided up and fat, so he doesn't do much high-flying anymore. Sin Cara/El Mistico is in WWE now though, so he might fill that hole

I too, am a loser for SEGA stuff. If I go into a grocery store and see something related to SEGA, I always end up buying it, like how I bought a lot of pop based on THOR that literally has nothing to do with the game, but still says SEGA on it. Even funnier how I kind of wish the game did not exist.

But yeah, I do not think you are looking hard enough. Tons of games have an arcadey feel to them, like... Arcade games!

Usually I only buy games I know I will want to play years and years later on anyways, so I am rarely upset with my purchases anymore, but I tend to overthink some of these. It should not take anyone dozens of hours to decide if they want a $15 game or not...

A punch in the head seems pretty lame. A chokeslam from a guy that huge seems pretty devastating enough.  Too bad about Ray Mysterio. I've got all these memories of him on WCW Thunder, so that's a bit depressing. I'll have to keep an eye out for this El Mistico. I don't really watch much TV, but I might check out the next PPV. Hopefully he makes it onto the card.

^He debuted on RAW a few nights ago, I found a youtube vid (he just runs in and beats up Seamus a bit), i'll see if I can link you up.
Here it is:
8 Minutes 10 Second in:
[youtube:19en5mm7]I6bJ_aQYVQ8[/youtube:19en5mm7]

And yeah, the punch to the head from Big Show was ultra lame. It was after he came back from his brief stint of trying to be a boxer, so I guess they thought it was a good idea despite the fact that it's ultra boring and technically illegal in kayfabe 'rules', so he should have been DQ'd each time.

But take Batman Arkham Asylum for instance. I freaking loved that game. Totally worth the money. Still, there it is gathering dust now. I'll probably never play it again!
And holy shit I still play Sonic Adventure.

I hate those characters, they seem so lame. I guess they were easy to make though which is why they were included. At the same time, there will be probably be some balancing required.

In any event, I'm sticking with Vega.

Thinking of selling my Volvo to the dealer.

It's a 1997 model, and the laundry list of repairs has gotten too long to handle. Check engine light on due to bad catalytic converter and front O2 sensors (I've already replaced a ton of things due to the light, but it remains on thanks to more problems occurring), squeals when driving long distances (break pads and possibly axle problems), air conditioning won't work (crack in the a/c system causes it to leak, so it will only remain charged for a few months before needing to be charged again), tires need replacing, big plastic bit on the bottom came off, it won't start in wet weather due to a bad main relay.

On top of all that, due to the check engine light I cannot pass state emission inspections. So I've been driving about for a year without the sticker. :P Thankfully, car is registered and insured, so lack of emission sticker only gets a citation and $120 penalty... which I got hit with last week.

Total cost of repairs could be over $2000, possibly going into the 3k range. Not worth it considering the check engine light could remain on even after repairs.

Meanwhile, blue book value for selling to the dealer is $1,175. Downside, no car for me.

No, wait! Max. Max. The-the-the bruise - the bruise on your head. I know how that happened! You told me the whole story. You were standing on your toilet, and you were hanging a clock, and you fell, and you hit your head on the sink. And that's when you came up with the idea for the Flux Capacitor...

Naw, what I did was I wanted to close the bathroom window in the ceiling(it's one of the those bathrooms that are very close to the roof). I have a metal rod especifically to open and close it, but I didn't know where it was, so I climbed unto the toilet sink but I misjudged the height and I bonked my head in the ceiling.

The funny thing was, at first, I was like "Whatever" and closed it shut and didn't give much thought, took a shower, had breakfast and drove to work. It wasn't only until about 5 minutes before my lunch break, just when I was finishing up my chores in the warehouse, I felt a sharp pain and I clutched the back of my head and yelled out: "Owww, my head!!".

Of all the rotten luck...

Here I was going through the final dungeon in Resonance of Fate, where I had spent 2 hours fighting off the toughtest bosses I've ever seen. But I pulled through, regardless.

Just as I was watching the cutscene before the final boss battle, but I noticed that the Xbox 360 S power supply was very far from the console and pushed it back, but apparentely the cord wasn't completely connected and the console reset itself.

I was pissed, but the good side of this, is that I managed to do roughly the same thing in an hour and kept a lot of cash I had wasted on Retrys.

I saved just before the final battle. Tomorrow it is...

It does suck. But its not as bad as some people are making it out to be.

Usually when people steal credit card information they would use it right away. Sony said they are not 100% sure if the CC info was taken. I think if it was taken, we would be seeing a ton of fraud charges, unless the people who got the information are the worse hackers of all time.

Now most users know that cc could be effective.. now people changed their CC numbers and banks will be watching for people who use the old numbers...

Not very logical thinking for hackers. This all has to do with the key that Geohot released. Now the whole system has to be redone... which should have when he released that key.

Sony: Give me MKV codec support and we will be fine.

It's great to hear that you're so politally active. As long as Harper doesn't end up with a majority government, I'll be happy. I'm mostly concerned about the NDP winning in my riding. If they get a ton of seats nationally, that'll be a nice bonus.

With Osama Bin Laden's confirmed death, most of the justification, criticism and rhetoric against the US actions die with it.

It is pretty ironic that after so many years of people wanting to turn the hunt for Bin Laden into a joint global effort and not some lone cowboy playing by his rules, it turns out that the CIA and a group of US Navy Seals did the job after years of research and a well planned attack.

I guess the "The Dark Knight" approach worked after all...

We might need to open a politics thread, but I would want the mods to approve it first as such subjects can get heated. I will say however that I disagree with how the United States has handled itself in its' middle eastern wars, and think that both Bush and Obama have been terrible presidents.

A politics thread could be interesting.

Speaking of which: today's the big day here in Canada. I'll be out there volunteering for a good 13 hours. Right now it's looking like another minority government for the Conservative party, but the everyone will know for sure tonight when the results roll in.

Also:
It's pretty tough to find clothes that don't line up with the colours of one of the parties involved in the election. It's kind of a thing here where you're not supposed to wear the colours of one of the parties if you're going to be volunteering at a polling station. The idea is that you might sway the vote if an undecided voter comes in. So I've got to stay away from red, blue, green and orange.
No orange chucks today :(.

Hence why I'm having second thoughts about joining NeoGaf.
But I guess we've done OK, we've had some arguments about a number of matters (gun control, military operations, the whole student protests in the UK thing,etc,etc) and it almost always never went out of control.

To answer the question, I tend to be more pro-right wing on a great number of issues, though many of my closest personal friends are, for the most part, left-leaning.

I limit my personal spending weekly, that's how I (usually) stay out of the red. I usually spend 150-200 a week, not including groceries. A third of that 150-200 are essentials (toothpaste, cat litter, potting soil, any random stuff we need from Target that we ran out of). Other third is dining out. Usually spend $50 a week on going out for dinner/lunch. Final third goes towards things I want, like games, new movies, movie tickets, ebay buys, etc. Usually I spend $25-50 a week on unnecessary stuff.

Last week, for example, I spent $55 on Famitsu, HOTD Overkill and a Dreamcast game. This week I'm hitting a video game convention, limiting myself to $60. Week after that is Virtua Tennis 4, so I plan on not getting anything else.

First still from the upcoming Pixar short "La Luna"

Plot:
"La Luna" is the timeless fable of a young boy who is coming of age in the most peculiar of circumstances. Tonight is the very first time his Papa and Grandpa are taking him to work. In an old wooden boat they row far out to sea, and with no land in sight, they stop and wait. A big surprise awaits the little boy as he discovers his family's most unusual line of work. Should he follow the example of his Papa, or his Grandpa? Will he be able to find his own way in the midst of their conflicting opinions and timeworn traditions?

Its the story of Georgie, young Mexican boy who was brought to America by the river by his Grandpa and Dad.

Not a peep about Binary Domain, nothing on Yakuza of the End, nothing on Sonic Generations. They did talk about Yakuza 4 at one point, in the most indepth, yet non-chalant discussion about it.

It's amazing, crap games like Sonic & Black Knight are somehow worthy of getting attention, anything else is not.

I know, I practically shat my pants. Gonna get framed and put up next to my poster from his tour. Also, I figured out who did it; My brother. He apparently ran into Vivino's girlfriend in NYC, furthermore, she can apparently get me backstage passes if I want to go to his show in Cali.

I trying to record a video of myself talking about a couple of things here and there, and unlike talking to someone or adressing a live crowd and I can't help but lose my train of thoughts pretty rapidly, because I'm just talking into a camera, that gives me absolutely no feeback.

@MadeManG74

Well, the problem was is that Human Target started OK, it took a while for people to understand what it really was, but it turned out to be a huge surprise and a thrilling experience.

However, with season 2 came a new show frontrunner who took the show in a completely different direction, which was a trainwreck from the start. After I had seen the first two episodes of season 2, I knew this was going to be cancelled.

I don't mind the music score change, but Human Target had the burden to introduce not one, but new two Jar Jar Binks-type main characters (Ilsa Pucci and Ames) and completely lobotomize and neuter the other three major protagonists.

Watching an episode of season 2 is really a painful task.

Fox learn to stop canceling good shows early? They're the worst network around for that. (Undeclared, Firefly, Drive, Wonderfalls, Brisco County Jr, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Arrested Development, Family Guy, Futurama....)

FOX renewed Bob's Burgers, which was surprising considering FOX and McFarlane are butt buddies. I would have thought Bob's Burgers would get the axe and we'd get a fourth Family Guy clone.

Speaking of Bob's, it has become a rather great show! First few eps are alright, but the show has really gotten a lot better with recent episodes. It's like having Home Movies back on tv with a touch of King of the Hill. And the family actually cares for one another, something other animated shows fail at *coughfamilyguy!*

I'd have agreed with you on the Simpsons back in 2004, but I think the seasons following the movie have had a step up in quality. Definitely better than seasons 11-14. Season 15 was actually quite a strong season: "The President Wore Pearls", "Today, I am a Clown", "'Tis the Fifteenth Season", "I, D'oh-Bot", "The Ziff Who Came to Dinner", "Simple Simpson", "The Way We Weren't" and "Fraudcast News" were all good episodes. They ditched most of the over the top goofiness of seasons 11-14 and went back to focusing on secondary characters and more normal events.

Seasons 16 and 17 were quite bad, with only a few good episodes each ("My Fair Laddy" was great). Season 18 wasn't great either, but it did feature "Springfield Up" and "24 Minutes", two great format benders. Season 19 was filled with a number of good episodes. This season followed the movie, and I think this helped as since the movie brought in a lot of great old talent from the classic days, the current team learned a few things and cranked out some great episodes. "Husbands and Knives", "Funeral for a Fiend", "The Debarted", "Dial 'N' for Nerder", "Mona Leaves-a" and "All About Lisa" were good episodes. But the crowning achievement of season 19, the best episode of the post-classic era and one of my top ten favorite Simpsons episodes of all time was "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind". Such a great episode. It almost acts as a series finale. If focuses on the series as a whole, puts Homer's life at the forefront (from a baby to an adult), has a ton of trippy animation moments and ends with all the main characters throwing a party. Loved it.

Season 20, I'll admit, wasn't as strong but it did bring the series into lovely HD with some excellently animated episodes. "Take My Life, Please", "No Loan Again, Naturally", "Gone Maggie Gone" and "Coming to Homerica" were good eps. Best of the season was "Eeny Teeny Maya Moe". Again, one of the best post-classic era episodes.

This sort of trend has continued since, with all episodes looking great in HD, each season producing eight or so very good episodes and each season always brings about one or two great episodes. I really liked 21's "Treehouse of Horror XX" and "The Color Yellow", and really liked 22's "Flaming Moe", "Homer the Father", "The Great Simpsina" and "Homer Scissorhands".

Yeah, after SEGA (or as much as SEGA), I'm a huge Simpsons nerd.

Haha! Thanks! Yeah, I've been drawing the classic versions of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles for yearz, so it's really all I know. Even my modern Sonic turns out to look like classic. I did have to lol at Luigi after stepping back from the thing. He looks like such a little pipsqueak.

I tried to cancel some accounts on a few message boards that I stopped going to eons ago.

But sadly(or perhaps not), I noticed a few of them don't actually have an option to cancel said account and others are either so old that I don't even remember the login details on some of them anymore or the actual message boards no longer exist.

Which made my efforts kinda pointless.

OK, this morning I had a really freaky Twilight Zone/Vanilla Sky/Inception moment...

I caught the noon train and I just managed to catch the other train on time at the other terminal, it was 3 minutes late, but it was all the time I needed.

If I hadn't caught it, I would have to wait a full hour to catch the other one and wasn't planning to wait that long past lunch hour.

It was a crowded train, so I had to stay up at least for a solid 25 minutes, so I wanted to ring my Dad and tell him the good news, that I was right on schedule.

I don't know exactly what triggered it, I made the call, my dad answered and then, either it was the very chummy manner and tone in which I spoke to him or the slighty higher pitch, but about 10 pairs of eyes, that is the people on the wagon to which I was standing and chatting, snapped and just stared at me, all in silence, as if I said something that triggered a hive mentality in which they had all responded at the same time.

I think I overeacted to the situation and since I was wearing black shades, so even if I freaked out(which I did), they would never notice it anyway.

But I froze mid-sentece and told my Dad I would call him later.

That didn't go too well either...

@Taro Yamada

It's technically impossible to fire someone working in Portugal, public-sector or otherwise.
They are having strikes because they don't want a 3% pay cut, the thing is, is that what they are doing a little pointless.

The suits at CP are the ones who call the shots, but it's the goverment that has the last word on the matter. The election is tomorrow and until the end of the month, they won't be able to get anything out of the strike anyway, except anger people.

After 6 years of operating, and 3 years in my possession, my 360 has RROD'd.
R.I.P. little one. I'm actually very surprised that a late '05/early '06 model has lasted this long. Sent it in for repairs, so hopefully I'll have it back before July. Or even better, they'll send me an S model (doubtful).

In the meantime, I have a buttload of Wii SEGA lightgun games to complete as well as a few PS2 titles to occupy my time. It's all good.  8-)

Post by: Sega Uranus on June 09, 2011, 09:42:06 pm
Out of game consoles, I have had the worst luck with PlayStation 2. Seven have died on me, and just from basic use.

I am fully aware of the problems with the Xbox 360 as my original 2006 model died on me after a year of use, but the one I have had ever since has rarely had problems, the most notable one was when I put in SEGA Superstars Tennis, the first game I had for it and it almost instantly crashed. For like three years after I was super worried that with every new game I got the console would die, but if anything it works better now than ever and people like Shadi were just trying to scare me. It worked, you bastard!

Regardless, I am still looking at getting a new Xbox 360 next year. The only reason I bring this up is that I am honestly thinking of getting a Kinect bundle with it. If you look at the prices, adding Kinect to it is fairly cheap considering the core price, and price drops are very likely by next year too. Nothing really excites me honestly, just I think it would be 'Neat' to play Binary Domain and Mass Effect 3 with it, and some games I will want like Halo 4 will obviously have it. I would buy Sonic Free Riders, even if it is not that good, but otherwise I am having a rough time figuring out if I should do this. Everyone's opinions except George and Shadi are welcome!

Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on June 10, 2011, 08:07:52 am
My console death list:

Aside from the 360 just RRODing on me, I've had my older model PS2 die thanks to a f'd up video out. Basically the system boots up normally half the time, the other half the video and audio is all distorted and broken.

My old XBOX still works, however the disc tray sticks. I have to hold the open button when powering up, otherwise the thing won't open up when the system is on.

My SEGA CD is functional, but isn't great. Half the time I boot up the Genesis, the SEGA CD isn't detected. When the SEGA CD does work, the game will sometimes crash, though I've only had this happen very occasionally with Sonic CD and Silpheed.

The Dreamcast and Saturn have been my most resilient consoles. My first Dreamcast died, but it was in a power surge, so it is hardly a system fault. Just my own for playing PSO during a storm without a surge protector. Since then, I've had two perfectly working Dreamcasts and two perfectly working Saturns. All hail SEGA!

@Sanus: I say go for it. Kinect titles don't take up a lot of my time right now, but once Gunstringer, Child of Eden and Rise of Nightmares hit, I'll be using it much more. Dance Central and Your Shape are probably the most solid titles out right now, both control near perfectly and their use of the Kinect is really slick. Kinect Sports is also solid, but if you've had your fill of Wii sports titles, I'd say pass.

I noticed that I actually use the voice control a lot. Since we don't have cable, we use Netflix and Hulu most of the time. "kinect, play" and "kinect, pause" are great for when I'm running for the bathroom or am heading to the kitchen. I've found that I can even control the thing from other rooms with my voice. Fun stuff. At first it was a novelty, but now it's second nature to use the voice controls. The Mass Effect 3 stuff looked very cool, I'd prefer that to button pressing. If you go for it, might as well get Sonic Free Riders for a good price. It's not perfect, it's not amazing, but it is fun. Reminds me of a game you'd find in an arcade that is so crazy looking, you can't help but play it. It also beats the other titles in the series, in my oh-pin-yun.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: max_cady on June 10, 2011, 10:16:02 am
Yep, my console death list is as followed:
-Game Boy: broken at school all the way back in 1993;
-Dreamcast: First one died out on me while playing Virtua Striker 2;
-Xbox 360:

-First RROD(2006-2008): I was playing the Eragon game and then bam, pop goes the console;
-Second RROD(2008-2009): I was going to show RE 5 to a couple of my friends at my birthday party and the console crashed mid-play. I was so pissed.


My advice: Switch to the Slim model as fast as possible.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on June 10, 2011, 10:19:25 am
On top of the RROD, I received a $15 fee from my gym for missing a payment (my credit card info wasn't updated). I told the manager I've been a paying member for 2 years and that I had only missed updating the card info by 2 days, but they wouldn't budge. So pissed at them. I think I'm going to start throwing towels in trash cans, instead of the dirty towel bins, until I feel satisfied. That's my method of revenge, petty vandalism.

Honestly I would say Sanus should skip on Kinect until there's more to play on it. Right now I don't think there is a single title he would like. Maybe when Child of Eden, Rise of Nightmares and Gunstringer are out he could go for it (and those might not even be that good. Plus CoE doesn't need Kinect), but right now I think he would be wasting his money.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread

I think Sanus should sell his PS3 and get Kinect.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: MadeManG74 on June 11, 2011, 03:57:34 am
I think he should sell all his possessions and move to the country, renouncing gaming forever, then settle down with a nice girl and start a family.

One day his kids will accidentally kick a loose panel in the barn and find a safety deposit box inside. When they break off the lock they'll find a Sega Dreamcast, two controllers and a copy of Shenmue 1 & 2.

As they look on in wonder and amazement at this strange hidden treasure, one will ask "Who do you think it belongs to?".

Sanus, unknown to the children has been watching them from the house the entire time. Knowing this day would come, he walks to the barn and places a reassuring arm over his youngest child and ruffles the hair of the older one.
"Children. It's time I showed you something very important. Something your mother doesn't even know about."

Scared, but curious the children follow him to the back forty acres of the Snaus estate farm, to a building they've never been to before. Sanus opens the heavy door and leads the children in. Inside the building is a cacophony of sound and excitement and several asian men all huddle around a fenced off area.
"What is it dad? What is this place?"
With a glimmer in his eye as a single tear falls from his cheek, Sanus responds;
"This is where we place large sums on money on the outcomes of racing. Duck Racing."
As the three of them stand at the doorway of the families greatest kept secret, a pitch black night unfolds with the morning star as its only light,

And thus the saga...begins...

He was using ATMs as an example of automation replacing roles that could be filled by employed humans, and I agree that many job roles are being made obsolete by automation or trimming the fat of processes. I think it would help for successful companies to create more job roles, rather than trimming their work force.

edit: having watched the interview, the question asked was about why companies' spending on equipment have gone up 26% during the recovery while hiring is only up 2%. So in that regard, the answer fits.

I was given a guitar a few weeks ago by my dad. It used to be my sisters but she hardly used it. but she abused it well. The place where the strap is supposed to go is broken =P

So i was pretty depressed yesterday and figured I needed to do something new. So i took out the guitar and looked up a tutorial online. I think I will like it.. whenever my fingers decide to stop hurting. It's so hard to hold down the thickest string. I also woke up this morning with really swollen fingertips on my left hand. Still swollen, but not as bad as this morning.

So I went to the doctor last week and he prescribed me two new medicines for my anxiety/depression.

One is Valium, which I haven't noticed any bad side effects from and it might be helping me and i might not be realizing it.

The other is this crap called Venlafaxine which got OK'd by insurance yesterday so yesterday was my first... (AND LAST) day taking it. That stuff is just bad >_> Lol. I was up all night, feeling sick to my stomach, feeling weak, and an aching body. I don't feel like typing a lot so if your curious to see how bad that medicine is, here is a URL: http://crazymeds.us/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Meds.Effexor (http://crazymeds.us/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Meds.Effexor)

Needless to say. I'm not taking the Venlafaxine stuff. I'm gonna work on keeping myself happy in natural ways. I don't think the valium is gonna hurt at all though, I mean i haven't noticed anything bad yet =P and hey if its helping me feel less anxious then that's great.

I gave archery a shot for the first time last night :D.
I've always been interested in trying it out, but really had no idea how to get into it. My great grandpa made me a makeshift one out of a twig and some twine, but it was just for messing around in the backyard, and didn't work all that great.
Anyway, a friend of mine (that I met through martial arts), is really into archery and she invited me out to a local shooting range. I got to try out a compound bow, wich was super intimidating, but pretty easy to aim with. It's one of those ones with the pulleys, sights, and a counterbalance.
I tried out a recurve one too, wich was super fun. It's basically just the curved piece of wood, and you rest the arrow on the back of your hand. It's a lot tougher to aim accurately, because you don't have sights or anything, but it's much easier to pull back on the string.

With the compound bow, I used this little trigger mechanism that would clamp onto the string, so it was easy to pull back, and release. I just used my fingers for the recurve bow, so my fingertips are still sore today.

I love archery! During high school, my friend would carry around two bows and a pile of arrows in the trunk of his car. He lived very close to a thrift store and an archery range, so every once in a while we'd hit up the thrift store for targets (usually ugly plush dolls) and then shoot 'em up at the range. Ah... memories.

I think we had a compound bow and a standard bow (not sure what those are called). One time we found a massive plush raccoon, the one from Pocahontas, and shot it full of holes. Then when we got home, we gave it to his little brother who loved it... until he discovered the holes and he threw a fit. We argued we had to kill it before he could play with it. Can't have a live raccoon in the house.

I've been trying to sell my car. So many fucking idiots respond. A lot of them ask if there is financing (what? like I'm going to let them pay in installments? No, I clearly wrote full payment and cash only) and others want me to do all this homework for them. Like this one dude wants to know the cost of the repairs needed. How should I know? I'm selling the car with the problems listed, I'm not an auto shop who can give estimates. Even if I did call the dealer for an estimate, it wildly varies from shop to shop. This other dude typed all in caps. Stupid people, just buy my damn car.

You've got a 65 Chevy Malibu
With automatic drive, custom paint job too
I'll trade you for my old wheelbarrow
And a slightly used sombrero
And I'll even throw in a stapler, if you insist

You can change it by going to the theme settings. I really liked my Tea House theme but since they are forcing everyone to switch to the new theme in the next 3 months I figured I might as well get myself used to it now.

Firefox is having a new update every month or something so I guess it'll be fixed eventually.
I really dislike how they are doing these updates. It was cool and all how we got small updates every month before (3.0 --> 3.1 --> 3.12) and then we got a HUGE update later on. The new focus on a new number for several updates just to make it look more "recent" kind of throws off the updating system. Firefox 5 is almost the same as Firefox 4, nothing huge was made to make a difference. Are we going to have Firefox 25 by the end of 2012?

On that topic:

Quote
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Hoo boy… it wouldn’t be Comic-Con without that moment of pure “I’m fucked”ness and that happened today with the Sony panel. I was lucky enough to get some time with Andrew Garfield, but that meant I had to race to Hall H and pray to the Comic-Con gods I could still make it in.

Luckily the Comic-Con Gods smiled upon me and I got in during the Ghost Rider panel. I missed some Behind the Scenes stuff with Neveldine and Taylor being crazy and flying off of cliffs holding 3D cameras and stuff, I hear, but I did make in in time to see the panel and the footage presentation.

Outside of one really iffy CG shot of screaming Nic Cage head turning into screaming Ghost Rider flaming skull, the flick looked crazy fun. As you’d expect from Neveldine and Taylor everything was over the top and dark. For instance, there’s one shot of the Ghost Rider face to face with a badass biker dude as the bad guy pulls an Uzi and fires straight into his face. The Ghost Rider is screaming, the Uzi clip unloading into his mouth. Clip runs dry and the Rider screams again, spitting out a spray of hot molten lead.

And, unless I’m mistaken, the footage ended with a little kid asking Nic Cage what happens when he needs to pee when he’s ablaze and then we see a back shot of Ghost Rider literally pissing flame. I mean, I know my eyes saw it, but my brain is having trouble processing that actually happened.

Other flashes… Ghost Rider whips a molten chain around a dude and tugs, causing him to erupt into a flurry of ashes, Ghost Rider standing on top of a giant truck-like machine that is his new hell-ride, looking like a demonic version of a Mad Max shot, flames shooting from the wheels and all that jazz.

It’s hard to tell if it’ll all gel together, but when you put something as crazy as Ghost Rider in the hands of maniacs like Neveldine and Taylor it’s a good fit. The footage supported that insanity and I hope the movie is even more batshit than I’m expecting.

The panel was pretty short, but here are a few tidbits from the guys on the panel, including Idris Elba, Neveldine, Taylor and Nic Cage.

-What comic book character would you like to play? Idris – Luke Cage, big time and is actively pursuing it. Nic – Ghost Rider “because it happened and I’ve always sympathized with monsters.” Taylor said Catwoman.

-The giant truck we see Ghost Rider riding all Lord Humungus style is a Stripminer, which has the ability to cut mountains in half… So we can expect to see him cause some shit to go down when he turns it into a Hellminer.

-More Ghost Riders for Neveldine and Taylor? They loved making it, it’s up to box office.

-How is Johnny Blaze different from the first movie? Nic Cage said that the biggest difference is that he’s had a few years to live with his head catching on fire and it’s had a noticeable effect on his mood.

-What crazy camera stunt wouldn’t Neveldine and Taylor do? “What would you suggest?” The audience member who asked the question replied with “Waterfall?” Neveldine: “Going over a waterfall in a barrel? Sign me up!”

And that’s about it for Ghost Rider!]

Highlights of the week:

The good:
Saw the Green Lantern movie again. In 3D this time, actually liked it more the 2nd time.

The bad:
F*** you, 911!

The hilarious:
I was asked to be a translator for my cousin and her english boyfriend so they can sign the papers for their civil marriage. The look on her boyfriend's face when the man who's doing the paperwork asks him if there really is only one Essex in all of Great Britain (even though the same papers clearly state that he's from English nationality) was priceless. That was just one of the major WTF moments in those 50 minutes.

HA! So I have my car on craigslist, just renewed the ad so it is at the top of the list, which means a number of new email requests.

This douche bag, probably a mechanic, sends me a list of fifteen questions (!) many of which are confusing (lots of mechanic terms) then he goes on to say that my mentioned repairs are expensive and diagnoses why he thinks my a/c doesn't hold a charge. All that, and he expects me to write back. What does he expect? Me to answer all his questions, admit that repairs and expensive and then give him the car for free as a prize? So many wierd-o's on craigslist... my god...

Last week a kid and his dad checked my car out, seemed impressed, said they'd email back. Never did. :P THanks for wasting my time, guys.

Ha, you are in the wrong business if that upsets you. I used to flip cars for extra cash in high school and this is regular. If they don't offer you money on the spot they generally are not buying. Many just feel uncomfortable saying they aren't interested as they feel it might be offensive, so they are kind on their way out essentially by saying they are interested, but they usually are not.

Chances are those are flippers. We offer a low price on a lot of cars, eventually one won't sell they call us back and say 'fine, we'll take $XXXXX'. It's a numbers game, flipping is risky though, sometimes you lose out. I did a couple times but overall I definitely made money.

I just noticed how dependent I have become to Google's online services and software. I play my music on all my devices from Google Music Beta, I browse with chrome, I use Android phone, I use Gmail daily, and I use Google Docs for brainstorming ides.

That's precisely why I want to make some changes, you see the only reason I had a Hotmail account at the time was only to use the MSN Messenger. And since it already had a Windows Live ID, I use it for my Xbox.com account, but in light of recent problems I'm gonna have to make some serious changes.

i have like 4 different accounts on various email services I use. lol
You really should switch to gmail as your primary email service, its awesome. It's got a really good spam system too. Doesn't hide anything important most of the time.

Also has secure login options, which I have been using ever since all that crap hacking ever started.

The corner where I have my games and dvd shelving has a leak, so the walls are damp and theres a bit of mold. :P so I spent the past half hour clearing out the corner. Good news is nothing was damaged, since my shelves are about 6 inches away from the walls.

Weird thing is, we're on the third floor and there is a floor above us. So it's like the leaking is coming through the outside corner of the building. I think it might be the corner of a little overhang that's f'ing things up. Thanks though, I'm glad I spotted it and moved my stuff. Would suck to get water and mold on my DC mags and games.

There's one tech company that I hate with a passion and that's LifeTech (http://www.lifetech-world.com/).

Everything they've produced thus far that I bought, is garbage. From horrible speakers to even optical mouses that break down in less than two weeks. And it pains me even more because it's the first major portuguese PC hardware and acessories company.

But I'm about to add another company to my "Never Again" list and that's... Hewlett Packard.

I'm done with them too. I hate their laptops and I hate their Printer-Scanner-Photocopiers All-in-Ones that seem to break down for no apparent reason.

My 2nd one, only the printer is actually working. This is bulls***!

On Sunday morning we had a fundraiser run to raise money for breast cancer research.
There were around 700 participants, and over $100000 raised.

It was the first competitive run I've done in 2 years, and the first time I've really pushed myself since my surgery.
I got 2nd place overall, and first place in the men's category :D.
It was only a 5km run, but it was a pretty fast 5k.

Gotta find me a nice DVD light scratch buffer. One of my games just isn't working. I applied a cloth and it's good for a little more plays, but ever so often...

One of the oddest situations I had with my Xbox 360 is with the Who Framed Roger Rabbit DVD, there is no stratch on it, it is brand new, it plays on every single DVD player in the house including the laptop. It doesn't work on the Xbox 360...weird.

My dad went out of town over the past weekend with my step-mom, and youngest sister on a trip to Toronto. They asked if I'd watch their two dogs, for a few days.
Not really a big deal, so I said sure.
I went back to the place for my lunch break from work, and it turns out the power went out. Not really a big deal normally, except that there was a pretty decent storm going on at the time. This ended up knocking out the sump pump, which resulted in the basement flooding. Needless to say, I didn't make it back to work, and the rest of my weekend was dedicated to cleaning things up in the basement. All the rugs were hung up in the sauna, and the remaining water was taken care of by a shop vac, and keeping a wood stove going for the 3 days.
The bad weather continued over the entire weekend, so I couldn't really leave the house, on the off chance that there was another power outage. On the plus side, I took this opportunity to finally finish the first Professor Layton game.

I like the Sonic Stadium forums, but my god can they be far too introspective. They make entire topics devoted to "the state of the community" and "the state of (insert story/gameplay element here)". A game will release, and two months later they're already reflecting on every aspect of it. It's fucking annoying. Also, the Personal Discussion forum is freaky. Like, keep your personal lifes OFF the internet. I just ignore that specific forum, because I'll usually learn that the dude I was discussing Eggman with is a suicidal bisexual who is beaten by their mom and had an abortion. TMI.

Well their primary audience is Kids and Teenagers, so I guess that it's not surprising that's the kind of stuff you get over there. I mean there is adults there too, but the ones I know who are adults don't seem to make drama over everything... except some of the mods..

*Hits backspace on his personal life issues involving his evil twin from Italy that is secretly the reincarnation of John Wayne*

But no seriously, I left that forum because of that, I had amassed quite a few posts but logic and common sense is often lost on them and I can never agree with most of them who want more storyline in Sonic games. Want plot, go play a damn RPG, failing that, go read a book! I finally snapped when some people were trying to make the Sonic series as some deep routed science fiction, it really is no such thing...

@Aki: I mostly frequent the upcoming games forum, as its the best source on the internet (after SEGAbits) for the latest Sonic tidbits.

I also frequent the merch forum as I've gotten into the 20th anniversary classic era figures.

Beyond that, the personal stuff and the fan art section scare me. Though I do drop the occasional 1337 photoshop job for positive rep. It's a nice ego booster.

If SEGA ever agrees to let Nintendo make a Sonic game, Nintendo would probably have to agree to give something up in return to SEGA, so the chances of that happening is very little, ha!

How was Marraquexe?

Well, Marrakesch is an interesting place to visit I'll give you that much. Me and 5 other friends stayed at a Riad, which is a guesthouse bed with sheets, fully supplied bathroom and good breakfast service.

The town so to speak, is largely a commercial town, there are tons of shops, a couple of museums to go to and the ruins of a massive castle.

The town square is where it's all at. Tons of food and drinks stands, namely the famous orange juice. Cars generally don't go into the town square, but there are literally tons and tons of bikes there. Also, if you like cats, don't worry,there's like a bajillion of 'em there.

One thing to keep in mind, though, generally speaking, there's a network of vendors and restaurants, who will charge you for cheap on food, but will politely ask you to visit their commercial partners to buy some herbs and tea. Make sure to have some extra money for tips, they like it.

Snake enchanters are a pickle though, they seem to seek out the people who are close enough and extend a hand. If you shake it, they will proceed to wrap a snake around your neck and perform some sort of ritual, as well as demand some money, doing so you can blow on a flute while a rattlesnake is staring at you. It's not as dangerous as it looks, though, the snakes are clean and their fangs have been removed, so there's really no danger.

The morrocan dishes are good for the most part, there's the famous couscous, shisk-kebab, tajine (boiled chicken with vegetables), grilled chicken with yougurt sauce. Bread is served multiple times free of charge.

The only downside is that you can pretty much experience everything there is to do in 2 days.

Snakes don't bother me at all. One of my best buds, on the other hand...

Another downside of Marrakesch that I should point out is that, first time visitors will likely come back home and either:
-throw up randomly;
-have a case of mild fever;
-complete exhaustion;
-all of the above;

That's normal. And temporary.

So far I've been doing a good job not looking at spoilers for Batman: Arkham City and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Considering I've looked too much up for some other games I was interested in, I decided to avoid looking up anything for some other games including the later two because I want to feel surprised when I play them the first time. I might try to apply this strategy to most other upcoming games.

That's a good strategy. I've been doing the exact same thing for both of those games. I've avoided every review out there, and dodged all the game footage. It's made me even more excited to play them :).

I think I'm gonna do it. After putting it off for so long, I'm going to get the portable Genesis handheld.

The Firecore model with the SD slot from AtGames. It was too expensive at 60USD, but right now MediaMarkt(our version of Target) is clearing them out for less than 20USD. Best bargain ever.

Better snag one before the X-mas rush.

It's tough to find high res art (trying to stick to photos, artwork and renders) of some games. Like Virtua Fighter 1&2 are tough. Lots of arcade flyer scans, but they're all pixelated or dirty (in a dirt and hair way, not a porn way).

No problem :D. I'm not sure of all the ones that have been done so far (I can't see them when I visit the site from work. Only when I get the chance to go online form home), but a couple that could be cool are Wonder Boy, and the Rub Rabbits/Feel the Magic.

Last night I used my brand new passport, and visited the United States last night for the first time in about 4 years. It was a pretty short trip, but we hit up the sites that would be open between 6:30 and 10pm. KMart had a few good deals, and we discovered a shop with a decent amount of comics from the late 80's/early 90's. I'll make sure to bring a list of the X-Men/X-Factor issues I'm looking for next time. It was a bit odd when the owner of the shop lit up a cigarette in the middle of the store. Smoking indoors has been against the law here for so long that it just seems really bizarre to see it happen.

We grabbed dinner at a place called the Country Kitchen. Some of the differences between eating in Canada were pretty entertiaining. The booths have a lot more space between the seat and the table in Michigan. I got the healthiest thing on the menu (it was called the "skinny salmon"), but everything was pretty loaded with salt with lots of butter on the side.
It was a pretty fun trip overall though :).

This VGA thing about to start in a couple hours right.

Just imagine that the surprise PS3 exclusive is Shenmue III. That would be awesome.

I've been reading some articles lately, if I was one to construct conspiracy theories I could easily argument and conclude it makes perfect sense for Shenmue III to be announced tonight.

Still, I know better, and I'm in for some massive let-down.

Have you guys ever felt that Shenmue was coming? How you deal with this? New feelings. fuck.

Took nineteen years for Indiana Jones to return, took sixteen years for Star Wars, Duke Nukem took fifteen years, Futurama took seven years...

So I guess there is always hope for the Shenmue franchise to return. His SASASR appearance and the mobile game were the biggest things to happen in the past few years. So I have a small bit of hope.

Though, I do get peeved when other SEGA IPs get sequel after sequel, meanwhile Shenmue has yet to get a third.

Speaking of Shenmue, the Shenmue Gai page has some awesome awesome wallpapers:
http://www.ysnet-inc.jp/shenmue-gai/wp01.html#wp004

I made this one a SEGAbits banner, to represent the mobile game.

If they utilized existing engines (Yakuza? VF5? Whatever is in progress for VF6?) then I'm sure they'd save some money. Also, I'll bet all the development in terms of plot and characters is complete, and has been since the 90's.

I was thinking more about the time when Suzuki was "missing". He did some trips to China and such right? Maybe did some new research, new inspirational photos, that sort of thing..
Development of new game mechanics, concepts. New artwork.

I think that some of that stuff is going on right now, they are just waiting for the chance to get to actual programming.

Maybe I'm just delusional, but lately I've been increasingly being more and more interested in the series.

Instead of takin' the slow train, I decided to take the bullet train from Oporto to Aveiro. It was expensive, but it was totally worth it. Got there in less than 35 minutes. For a trip that ussually takes an hour, it was awesome.

The seats were confortable, they serve food and drink, but I just wished they had plugs to charge batteries. It makes sense, since this train is meant to go all the way to Lisbon.

I like the rotating banners (my idea, Shadi implemented it) keeps the place fresh.

I got to thinking what the best console combo was for Sonic games. 360 and Wii has got to be it, thanks to the backwards compatibility allowing XBOX, 360, Gamecube and Wii games:

Bought a silver Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 last month, powered it up and spotted a dead pixel, immediately sent it to canon. It took a month+ to repair, turns out they couldn't fix it so they sent me a new/refurb model. Opened it up, turns out its not silver, it's black. I actually don't mind the black, the finish has a better grip. But still, sorta stupid that they can't send the same color I sent them. Also, stupid that I sent them a day old model, they sent me a refurb.

It took a month+ to repair, turns out they couldn't fix it so they sent me a new/refurb model. Opened it up, turns out its not silver, it's black. I actually don't mind the black, the finish has a better grip. But still, sorta stupid that they can't send the same color I sent them. Also, stupid that I sent them a day old model, they sent me a refurb.

Canon has great products. And support here in Europe is excellent. Don't know bout MURRICA though
Sucks that you don't get free returns there. Here all you have to do is go to the store, and change for another one. The store then deals with sending it back to the manufacturer.

Problem was, I bought it via amazon, and tore the thing open, making it hardly return worthy. Took a week for me to spot the dead pixel too, which transferred over to my photos and videos. Figured Canon would be easier to deal with than amazon. Canon was very helpful, guess it was the holiday season that caused the long turnaround time. Only odd bit was getting a different color back. Thank goodness it wasn't the PINK model.

Wait, what. If it transferred, then it's not a dead pixel. Must be something much more complex lol

Also, that's my biggest fear with amazon. What if I get a game that doesn't work? I send it back? Just shipping would end up with me paying near double..

I think Amazon sends you a shipping label, but yeah, just too complicated.

The Canon dude told me it was probably a much bigger problem, caused by the lens or whatever magical chip is inside digital cameras.

He realised he was living a lie and decided to grow up, read up a few books on quantum physics, figured out how to shot lasers through space and sold his invention to the United States government, he now lives on a Caribbean Island were he is selling recomissioned Mega Drive units.

Nokia is dead to me now. My Nokia 5530 Xpress just went completely haywire on me, battery doesn't work, charging with or without battery also does nothing, worst of all, my 16 GB micro SD card appears to have been corrupted. I had important files, photos and videos in there, they are gone...

Yesterday, I had a conversation with an old friend, a huge cellphone geek, in which we talked about Nokia's hardware in general. Now I see things his way.

Glad to see Nakamura might have a big game on his hands, after the disaster that was Silver 06 (One that almost even killed the Sonic series... ) It seems it was just a trainwreck he was forced onto and that he still can make good games. Not sure if it's a million seller (Seems at tops, to me, 400k) but glad he seems to be doing well.

Also wish I could speak Japanese just so I could talk to Kodama heh.

I don't get why people are hating on companies because they support SOPA. SOPA is good for the companies, and a big company couldn't care less about an incredibly residual number of offended customers.

And what if Sega supported SOPA? Would any of us stop being a Sega fan?

I think people are blowing everything out of proportion. Hate SOPA, not companies.

I find it very difficult to exist on the official Sega forum, I'm trying my damn hardest not to break any rules... Yet I've been warned twice.

This time, i said:

Quote
Dear Burning Strangers,

You have received an infraction at SEGA Forum.

Reason: Personal Attack
-------
There's no room for personal attacks like this on the SEGA forums. Additional, domestic abuse is NEVER funny.
-------

This infraction is worth 1 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.


Now here is what was said, to get me the warning:

Some guy was arguing that Nintendo games are perfect on release and thats why Nintendo does not patch their games. He said:
Quote
You said Wii Music should have patches, but you also said patches wouldn't fix it. What was the point of your statement if you're going to say it wouldn't have done anything?
You seem to misunderstand. Mario Kart caters to the casual demograph. A lot of people like having a chance to recover if they're doing badly. It makes the game more fun for those with less skill. Nintendo didn't even change the balance of the game in the next game iteration, so why would they patch it?

In reply I said:
Quote
I have to scratch my head when I read things like this... Just because Nintendo DON'T balance the game doesn't mean they SHOULDN'T. It's a pretty simple concept, when it comes to multiplayer games balance is everything. Just because they are aimed at casual players (I'd dispute that) doesnt suddenly mean that they can forgo balance. Balance is a crutual part of what makes a good game and if you can't get it right the first time then you should damn well patch it. It isn't like Mario Kart and Smash Bros aren't popular enough to warrent the extra care.

Honestly you acting like Nintendos beaten wife.
"Oh it wasn't Nintendos fault, I deserved to be treated like crap... I'm just so silly sometimes."

Really? When did I say it was funny? If anything it's quite sad!

Awesome Royal Rumble is awesome.

Kane vs John Cena was not your average John Cena match where he takes a beating then miraculously gets up and starts pummelling his opponent leading inevitabily to the Attitude Adjusment and culminating in the "STF".

Not this time. It was just perfect. First off, Glen Jacobs is still physically impressive for someone with his height and age in general. His new masked gimmick has quite sold me yet (the mask under the mask is kinda pointless though), but it will.

I'm enjoying this storyline.

@max_cady:
I'm right there with you on the Rumble. It's the first one I've seen in 10 years, and thought it was a pretty good time. The CM Punk/Dolph Ziggler match was really solid, and the Rumble itself was lots of fun. CM Punk took a pretty nasty looking turnbuckle bump pretty early in the match.
As always, they do a good job of keeping the near eliminations pretty exciting. It was nice to see Road Dogg, Mick Foley, and Jim Duggan show up. Kofi Kingston's handstand save was probably the highlight of the night for me.
I was hoping Chris Jericho would win it, but hopefully he'll still still get to fight CM Punk for the WWE Title at Wrestlemania.

It's nice to see that the WWE is also pushing the younger talent into the spotlight, specially since they really need new big names.

I'm enjoying the fact that guys like Koffi, Zack Ryder, Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, CM Punk, Wade Barrett and Jack Swagger are getting more airtime.

CM Punk is definitely my favourite of the bunch. I'd never seen him wrestle before last year's WrestleMania, but he's been consistently great in every match I've seen since.

Speaking of Ebay, I'm fortunately being able to do bussiness quite well. All the items I've listed have had had bids. I've already shipped off two of them. It's great to do business in a much larger market.

The portuguese market is a good one, but we lack a refined auction system like Ebay that makes selling and buying a whole lot easier.
We have a few platforms, like Miau.pt and Leiloões.net, also a few different versions of Craigslist-style websites where you can post garage sales and such, but none of them even come close to what Ebay does.

There's also another inherent problem with the portuguese market is that the local online shopper tends to be very picky. What I mean by picky is that often times they behave like tourists in Morroco trying to forcefully convince the seller to lower shipping and handling, sometimes the actual value of the item.

It happens because most of the times because there's only one buyer that wants that one item, it's a very rare case of buyer monopoly and thus low-balling becomes common pratice. As a general rule it is never wise to sell an item at a very low price.

The other major complication is that on portuguese auction sites you do not have sort of system that allows you to send out invoices or such, basically, you pay for a listing fee and when the auction ends you have to work it out with the buyer through e-mail. But what if the buyer has a change of heart and refuses to pay? Tough luck and that's none of the auction websiste's business. I neglected to mention that there's also a sales fee based on the final value.

I've been stiffed out of 75 bucks(note: that's a total from a series of auctions where I was owed money, not including sales fee for each sale), that's where I drew the line.

I now only sell stuff on Ebay, at least, people there have standards.

OK, guys, if any of you actually use Facebook on a regular basis. Clue me in on this... My mom's been using Facebook on a regular basis as a nice distraction.

But since pretty much the since the end of January, she's been having this constant blank page whenever she tries to just access it. She can't see wall posts from close friends or play with any of the games there, since she has to type everything in in the upper search bar.

I've exausted all possible options:
-It's not a virus;
-It's not spyware messing with the browser;
-I've e-mailed Facebook's help page at least twice a day taking snapshots and recording video of what's going on and they still haven't fixed it;
-I've cleared the damn cache so many damn times, I've lost track;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you guys have any suggestion on how to deal with this?

'Cause I'm literally praying for something right now...

Giving Sonic the term "Blockbuster" seems weird to me. Gears of War 3, Red Dead Redemption, Arkham City, The Force Unleashed, Halo 3... those are gaming blockbusters to me. Games that are pushed as heavily as movie blockbusters, and are just as big on story as they are gameplay.

The only Sonic title to get close to this was Sonic '06, but for some weird reason GameTrailers thinks SA2 is a horrible blockbuster release (???) and then they also give Mario & Sonic a mention?

Pretty badly done video.

Anyway, I finally got NullDC to work properly with a USB gamepad. I was desperately trying to get a wireless 360 controller through Charge & Play Kit to work with it.

But as I've been told, those do not work. And it makes sense, the charger is meant just for that, to charge up, while the gamepad is still wireless. You need a wireless gaming receiver, which are cheap.

But you are better off just buying a regular USB gamepad that has one digital stick, one analog, two sholder buttons, a start button and four main buttons.

You can get some really cheap pads on a few discount retailers and Mom and Pop stores.

Includes: Beetlejuice / Batman / Mars Attacks! / Batman Returns / Pee-wee's Big Adventure / Charlie and the Chocolate Factory / Corpse Bride

I skipped out on the Batman blu-ray box because I had the DVD version, and really all it added were HD versions of the four movies. I only liked the first two Batman movies (Forever was OKAY). This set has BOTH Batman movies PLUS every Burton film that I love and don't have on blu-ray: Beetlejuice, Pee-wee and Corpse Bride. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was alright, I liked how it was true to the book but I prefer the original. Mars Attacks! was awful, but one dud out of seven isn't bad at all!

Found my old Digimon DVD and gave it a watch. Forgot how much I liked the series! The watercolor backgrounds are really nice, and the English voice acting is surprisingly good. I think I like the series mostly for the opening credits.

Shame the series never got a decent DVD release, aside from the first 13 episodes. In fact, the DVD I own I got used for $5 six years ago, and I just looked up online and it's selling for crazy prices!

This past weekend, a friend of mine had their Stag and Doe.
It's a pretty common thing around here, but I gather it isn't elsewhere, so I'll try to explain. It's basically a big party put on by the future bride and groom, with the main goal of raising money for the wedding.

Usually you rent out a hall or something, and sell tickets to as many people as possible. This is also another way for friends/family to be involved in th wedding, even if they aren't nessecarily invited to the wedding (to keep the guest lists smaller). The ticket prices cover the cost of the venu, food, and entertainment (dj/band).
Most of the profit is generated by things at the event. They'll usually have silent auctions where you buy raffle tickets for prizes that people have donated. They'll do games as well were you put some money in for each try, and the winners at the end of the night get some kind of prize that's also been donated.

The event itself wasn't all that organized, but went pretty well. Being the best man, I was informed at the event that I would be the master of ceremonies for the night shortly before the event started. They got me a microphone, and I was pretty much left to run the show.  I'm not super comfortable with public speaking, but I think it was a success. It looks like I'll be reprising the role of MC for another friend's wedding later in the summer. Should be good times :D.

That's awesome! I remember trying a friend's roller blades out when I was eight years old, I was terrible at it and didn't have any patience at the time for practicing it. I was decent at riding bikes and scooters and that did take some practice, but I was just like "the hell with this" for roller blading. Good luck.

For the most part what's on my mind lately includes Project X Zone, how stingy I need to be with my money (I've been good about saving this year, but now I'm sort of questioning the degree to which I need to save. Saving is good, but I'm considering lightening up), and the future of American politics. Is it the case that in order for more to be accomplished, one side has to have the upper hand? Perhaps so.

Good luck dude. I don't know what your circumstances are otherwise but the economy is indeed tough despite what anyone else may tell you--the labor landscape has changed. Plus I would think it'd just be difficult to be a freelancer, though you get that much needed freedom.

I myself am looking for jobs right now--I'm about to graduate from undergrad, and I'm hoping I might be able to get the sort of job I'm looking for in the future. Everything I really want to do involves having more experience, so I realize I'll be biding my time doing jobs that aren't necessarily my dReAm Jobzz0rz!11 (unless what I'm looking for changes in the future) for a while.

I'm also finding my own approach to college graduation odd--I am ambivalent, I'm going to miss New York (and I want to go back someday, though not necessarily live there), the people I met here, the experiences, that whole sort of feeling of being in the last bastion before I am compelled to assume a greater responsibility for my life. Yet at the same time I want to move on and see what the future's going to be like. Considering this, I don't have any real....strong emotions, about graduating, most everyone else out of my friends seem more emotional about graduating than I do. This doesn't trouble me, but...perplexes me I guess.

I am just astounded at the amounts of money some people waste on collectors items. That modern Sonic statue's price was revealed, $220, and people are just like "yeah sure! I'll buy that!". I've also seen a lot of fans dropping $600+ on those 20th anniversary statues.

Yeah yeah, pot calling the kettle black, I admit I do buy silly Sonic merch. But it's usually a $15 figure or a book or something. Most I've ever spent was $125 on the Generations collectors edition, but I figured it was a special event and $50 of that was on the game itself which I was planning to get anyway. Plus I really didn't buy anything else by the way of games for the next two months.

I guess it's because I've become accustomed to living on my own, and I pay rent, car payments and buy groceries. I can still easily afford stuff like the occasional blu-ray or game. But anything over $100 requires thought, and I usually only buy something "big" once or twice a year, which ends up being an entertainment device that I can get milage out of and not just a shelf decoration.

I'd like to say I wish I had the money to spend on something as cool looking, but unnecessary as, a statue. But if I did have the money, I'd probably save it or use it towards a trip or a Vita or 3DS.

Fuck this shit!


I have 3 exams I need to pass. There are 2 chances for passing them. So I decided to leave the hardest one (Mathematical Analysis III) to the second coming next month, and nail the other two right now so I could study peacefully.


Spent 2 fucking weeks studying for this single exam that I wanted to nail, fucking Numerical Calculus.
Fucking shit fuck fuck. It was HORRIBLE. Now I'm screwed! This shit was supposed to be easy. It was ludicrous.


I much rather had spent these 2 past weeks studying for the hardest one.

-people buy cute rubber hammers and plow people on the head with them; 
-eat grilled sardines and drink wine from street vendors;
-Dance in the street;
-Watch an amazing firework show;
-Launch balloons with candles in 'em;
-Go up the infamous Escadas dos Guindais and attempt to count every single step;

Bought Sonic Adventure 2 for the Dreamcast. 10 euro, a bargain.


Thing is the disc is scratched. It doesn't seem all that bad, but one of the scratches may be deep enough to freeze the game at random loadings.


Sometimes it doesn't even get passed the SEGA screen. The system identifies the disc as legit, starts it up, then backs off to the menu.


I've tried toothpaste, shoe wax, eyeglass cleaner... Am now looking for some store with those disc polishing machines.

I'm on the same ballpark as you.

I was upset they lost, but not crushed or anything. Penalties shots are something that's always random. It can go either way. The important thing is that we stood toe-to-toe with Spain. I've been listening to the ESPN podcast on this and everything they said rang true: Spain jumped the shark. They became way too predictable for their own good. They played all their tricks from 4 years ago: Gang up on Ronaldo, do their dominating passes, do solid defense, send Fabregas in. None of that worked here.

They aren't gonna have the same luck with Germany, or Italy.

One of my best friends from highschool is moving away to British Columbia at the end of August. He lives in Sudbury right now (about a 3 hour drive away), so we don't get to hang out all that much as is.  We decided to get a camping trip together for this past weekend, and headed out to a provincial park on Lake Superior with our girlfriends.

The weather was awesome, and the water was actually warm enough to swim as long as you'd want to (pretty uncommon for Lake Superior).  I kayaked for the first time in my life, and we all had a great time swimming, hiking, cooking by the campfire, and just hanging out.
The waves were pretty wild on Saturday night, and we had a ton of fun with those. A big thunderstorm kicked in right around sunset that night. The sound of the rain on the tents was great to fall asleep to after a hot day packed with activity (not to mention, my friend proposing to his now-fiance).

After packing everything up, we had an epic water baloon fight before heading back to town.

I'm hoping to head down to Sudbury for a few days next month for one more visit before they head out west.

@Shadi:
Good luck. There's always the tuck and roll maneuver. That was my go-to move when I had Heely's in high school.

With the gaming backlog I've built up over the years, I tried to figure out how many games I'll actually be able to finish this year. I figured out approximately how many hours I'll be playing (maybe 7hrs a week), and added up the approximate finish times of a good chunk of my games.

Looks like about 15 or so, from now until the end of December.
Not really putting much of a dent in the 300+ games I still have to beat, but what can you do?
Looks like Xenoblade and Sakura Wars V are getting pushed into next year :(.

Gonna be a little controversial:

Sometimes my thoughts drift to religion and how silly of a thing it is. Particularly when election season comes round. It's not that I hate religion, I think good can come from religion. But I just think the whole idea of a creator and a higher power is a complete pile of shit. Which in turn makes me reread this brilliant essay from Douglas Adams. I think I shared this before and Sharky loved it. I know I love it, such a simple yet fascinating reason for why god exists (or exists just as much as Superman and Harry Potter exist).

Yeah, I've been very ill-tempered in these last 3 months.

It's just that in Portugal the economy is in the dumps, and because of that businesses are very reluctant to hire new staff, so freelancing is the more popular choice. Except that sometimes freelancing doesn't help much when there really isn't much work available either.

But that's life really, it'll kick you in groin every once in a while, but focusing only on the negative side of life won't really help either.

It's likely this isn't the sole reason that these two left BioWare, but I'm certain it was a part of it. I mean, I'm not even really a huge fan of their games but there is no denying there has been a sea of negativity towards BioWare ever since Dragon Age II. I can understand criticism towards something, but some people on the internet do take negative feedback to the extreme. It makes me sad.

Humm.. I feel the need to advise you not to.
Half of my family lives in the UK. They work like dogs to get "much more money" than they did in Portugal, yet they are living in worse conditions and have next to zero buying power.
Also, they have shit jobs, and live in shit houses where they shove all the immigrants.


If you seriously consider moving to the UK, expect to have the kind of life Ukrainians have in Portugal but in a less friendly environment.


I don't know, maybe you'll be successful there..  But don't bet on it..

I don't know, maybe you'll be successful there..  But don't bet on it..

Although you have some points regarding the UK, but the less friendly environment isn't one of them.

Like everywhere...it all depends on where you live.

Portugese, Romanians and Maltans are pretty much welcomed here with open arms generally because the UK have no bad history between those countries...

The weather isn't great here, but that doesn't make the UK a place with a worse condition then say...France or Italy.

The wage thing I have to agree and disagree on...every country is struggling and it all depends on your class (I am of working class btw), saying about working like dogs even applies to us natives you know? In fact, foreigners have a better chance at getting a roof over their heads then us!

Since the government would rather treat foreigners with something moreso then the people who still live here.

I'm not recommending max_cady to work here, since it's not great here either...but don't mention the bad parts of the UK without mentioning the good parts to it also.

Health care is better here regardless of what others say, and since you get it free whether you work or not should be something to be encouraged. If I had to live in any other country, I would need to be insured...and since I am already poor, I wouldn't be able to afford the insurance.

Anyway, max_cady, I would say to have a look at New Zealand (I am thinking about going there one day), as it seems like a good country to start again...sunshine, a similar healthcare to the UK, natives who are friendly no matter where you come from, and it provides many job opportunities!

You could say Austrailia is the same...but you need to be under 40, have $100,000 in the bank to support you AND you need a few checks in your records to make sure you are okay to live in Australia...if you even have a blemish on your record, you will not likely get in...

Nameless, I wasn't (at least it wasn't my intention) talking trash about the UK. But I was comparing some points with life in Portugal.


Portuguese people are usually very emotionally tied with the weather and some simple but unique cultural details.
Mos portuguese people drink a very short and strong coffee (we call it a "bica") for example. It's the most basic thing here, and absolutely impossible to get in the UK.


You may think that is a bullshit example of something so minute, but it extends to everything.
The UK has a constant rainy weather, and generally people aren't as friendly as Portuguese folks. Mainly because of the high crime levels and overall lack of confidence in your neighbors (I'm talking from my family's experience).


Housing in the UK is the most expensive in Europe (bar Monaco) while Portugal has some of the cheapest housing in the developed world. And the construction in the UK is inferior as well.


The UK government gives money-troubled emigrants a shit ton of benefits and charities, but you won't be able to maintain the same lifestyle you would have with an equal job in Portugal.
"lifestyle" is in bold because in the UK people have MUCH MUCH more money. But they spend much much more as well.


You can't get a full 6 giant picanha steak meal with exotic fruit and fries for 3ppl for 15 euros in the UK.


Portugal has some of the best healthcare as well. Problem is, since we're short on doctors, unless you have some major condition, it's very slow.
UK's car insurance is pants. Fucking pants. Even worse for foreigners who have no credit to begin with.


The UK has more opportunities to have money and living a more consumerist life. That's why Portuguese people who go there get fascinated even with lesser lifestyles. Some people love living fast.


But ultimately life's hard everywhere at the moment.
Portugal is in the shitter. Politics are hitting the fan, and the economy is pants on head retarded. But it's still our home country you know.. And I'm still proud of that.


I've heard a lot of good stuff from New Zealand and have thought of starting my life there.. But it's really far.

lol, it's no worries dude. I don't think you'd insult the UK without good reason (and I have my own as well).

Interesting...maybe should I visit Portugal I should try this out?

I guess I am privileged that despite my poor background, our neighbours aren't that bad (and they are friendly despite their...ahem...shady tactics).

Depends what you mean by high crime though...it depends on the area you live in. Overall, crime rates are just above average...but again it depends on the areas of the UK...

Yeah, prices here are ridiculous, but I slightly disagree with the inferior housing...it's basic, yes, but it's mostly reliable...and I would say (without offending anyone), that it's better then some US areas with worse structure.

I see...I can't disagree with that, we do spend more money...but it depends on where you spend it I guess...being on a Welfare State like ours is bad in terms of not getting people to work (native or foreign).

We have specialist stores for that dude, you can't blame the UK for that type of stuff, no offence of course. :P

I agree there, someone I know said how effective paracetamol was over there!

Agreed again, I don't like the state of Car Insurance here...but I got lucky because I looked on the internet for the best deal.

Fair enough, I wouldn't deter anyone from coming over here, but I will point out the downsides of living in England. Sharky has one up over me in terms of Tax for example..you are best living on an island that belongs to the UK for lesser tax.

I am sorry to hear that dude...I know what you mean about being patriotic though! I have little knowledge to know how bad Portugal is, so it's interesting to know from you.

Far? The world is connected by the internet dude! The world is getting smaller in terms of communication...just be warned that electronic prices there are so high...you are best taking your systems with you and hoping for a current converter (I would be fine in that regard, I recall them using the UK Plug Pins).

Did you know that the Dutch found New Zealand first? Zealand is an area in the Netherlands, it seems we took it from them...which is pretty cruel, lol.

Nameless,
I think you'd love coming to Portugal.. Most people do :) 

About crime.. Well, I was there during the London bombings. Pretty intense stuff seeing machine-gun-armed cops running my way closing down the street xD I could go on about other stuff my family tells me about, but it's besides the point.. I'm glad my country is never under attack, and most crimes are petty robberies or failed bank hostage situations.

Housing in the UK isn't all that bad (it depends from place to place of course), but if you ever come to Portugal I guarantee you'll be amazed at the sheer quality of the average habitation here (something most people here unfortunately take for granted and don't value much)

Oh yeah, taxes in Portugal right now are off the charts. Literally 50% of a worker's earnings are tax. Same thing with cars: 10k car costs 20k (10k tax). Signs of the economical crisis going on right now.

I did not know that! Colonial times were fucked up bro! Portugal also screwed with most of Africa and America back then

I enjoy any country I go to, but I guess Portugal is on my wishlist in this case!

Maybe because no one thinks Portugal is somewhere to make headline news I guess, which is a good thing.

My boss has a villa there so I'm sure it's better overall (and sunshine too).

Wow...that's messed up!

I see, that's interesting to know.

Also, my thoughts on LoZ: LttP (almost beat it). Finding everything is pretty hard unless you use a visual guide (I did btw). Even moreso then Super Metroid!

Well, portuguese and spanish both come from latin, and since we live right next to Spain... Weird thing is that portuguese people understand spanish, but spanish people go all "no compreendo" on us.


But it's pretty similar:
"Quiero un Zumo de Naranja" is "Quero um Sumo de Laranja"
"té con leche" is "chá com leite"

Surfing craplist, I came across a Genesis model 2 with roughly 60 games.

I was intrigued for a moment until realizing nearly all of them were worthless sports games and Street Fighter was in the mix but no six button arcade bananas to be found. Just one beat up 3 button controller.

Hopes were dashed but with a $75 asking price or trade for a Playstation Vita!?

This dude had high hopes for a pile of loose cartridges.  :o

Considering taking a break from TSSMB (aside from a few merch forum topics) or outright leaving. Honestly, I'm 28 years old arguing with teenagers. I need to move on at some point.

Still <3 this site though. But frequenting Sonic fan forums at my age is starting to feel weird.

Welcome to the club, Barry. I know exactly how you feel. I stopped engaging into Sonic fandom a long time ago. I am a huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan, but these days I prefer to keep that to myself.

On another unrelated topic...

I can't be doing with the Sonic fandom no more...became a SEGA fan more anyways.

I still like Sonic as a franchise, but the reputation of the fans gives me a low impression on the franchise now, since it influences how Sonic fans act like.

One of them argued with me about Music Clips on there (their logic knows no bounds), and some 20 something chick decides to say that I have no logic (yep, using my own words against me...real mature).

SSMB is okay...but some of the members are so picky on stupid things. The hate on Billy Hatcher there is too extreme also when Sonic has been to lower depths...but you can't tell the crazy Sonic fans anything. (I like the concept of the game despite the bad controls/camera)

Non-SEGA related....ugh...had to block someone out of my internet circle after 3 years because of their pandering to some guy who has issues...I also seem to not get any responses from them because apparently I "overwhelmed" them when it was in fact the opposite.

They'll also willingly put themselves in dangerous position because of this guy also, which is very abnormal for them, being the one who's cautious online.

I won't cater to hypocrites and sheep (in this case both), so I decided to end it abruptly by doing them a favour....it still hurts me as I assumed we were on great terms with one another, but apparently not.

My main problem is the administration they have over there, or lack thereof. I can't quite figure it out, but it seems Writers get cut lot of slack when it comes to making rule breaking posts. Regular user says "Maybe you shouldn't react with a fucking hissyfit when someone criticizes something you wrote, because you're the one sounding like an asshole here if you ask me." and I'm certain they'd get a warning from an admin, but a writer says that same thing (which is what happened) and at most an admin comes in, outright deletes the offending posts (from all sides) and lets the writers continue to leave rude, insulting comments like that. The regular users, meanwhile, have nothing to direct admins to if they wished to report the Writers.

Imagine if two members here (two regular users) are getting into an argument and Shigs, as a writer, tries to break things up by saying "mademan, quit being a whiney bitch and shut the fuck up. you are being a bigger asshole than maxcady." . Then, before mademan can report Shigs to George, I come in and delete all the posts mademan, max and Shigs made and pretend nothing happened, allowing Shigs to continue to break forum rules and insult users.

---

And I hate to say it, but I think age is also an issue. When you have people aged 15-19 given authority, it seems they think insulting language and a general disregard for others is cool. Like some sort of vigilante state trooper in an old 80's movie. I'll admit, I get peeved at people on forums, and say mean things at times, but generally moments later I rethink what I said and try and apologize. In the end were all fans of the same thing, and we're not doing the community any good by being mean and caddy towards one another.

So having said all that, I'd prefer not to waste so much times in communities that are run that way.

That's the way I've seen many forums over the years go. I used to post a lot on IGN under my same handle. Just another user as I never bothered with the staff as it's too large of a community to keep in check. After the boards format changed, I really hated the wasted space for more adverts to give you a seizure flashing at you and killing the battery on my phone or my Macbook.

Here, technically, I'm not an official writer. I used to do that every so often back in the day with Sega Visions Magazine. Moonlighting when work was slow I'd get a review or two in. My masters degree is English during my college days and then computer science and applied engineering courses for hardware and software. That made me the perfect shoe in back then (in addition to hands-on experience at Atari games when coding handling physics of the additional cars on the Saturn port of Virtua Racing.

Overall, I did all that for the dream job and reached my goal. Pay sucked for a while but I kept at it.

It was all those years of digging deeper into embedded systems (console platforms) that was true "nerd nirvana"...



The hardest part is explaining or trying to simplify something complex into what the average reader will understand. That's where writing skills are most important and a requirement for the position I held during that time.


Edit. Fixed a quote overdose. Hard to deal with on a touch screen phone...

I ordered Dragon Quest VIII, only for the seller to refund me saying that my order got lost in the post.
The copy of Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters is MIA since August, trying to get TheHut.com to refund me for the 15th time.
And Max Payne 3... Ordered on November 30th, it was my X-mas present... A no-show as of right now.

I know it's Christmas season, but come on! Most of the stuff I usually order near Christmas time doesn't arrive this late. This is just BS!

I've been through that before. I remember getting banned from one Sonic fansite for posting Sega related pictures in the chat room and admins we're telling me I was off-topic. Yeah, like food is a good subject to talk about.

The whole Nintendo/Sonic thing is a bit nerving. People shouldn't forget that Sonic & SEGA are one.

I still remember many console wars threads on IGN. Even with my prefs set at fifty posts per page, topics would rabble on hating every console ever. The Wii was a easy hate subject and if you didn't post pics that you actually owned a console such as the PS3, people wouldn't believe you. On the flip side of the coin, if you didn't have everything, you were often called poor. Silly children. I stopped posting there around a year ago but have been a member since 2001!

It even stated on IGN back in the day, that console wars topics were against TOS, yet board admins and moderators were posting in them.

I want that wasted time back.

On another subject over on the IGN boards, when the PSP had gained the ability to use your own wallpaper. I made various computer/OS theme backgrounds from various favors of Windows and Mac OS for the IGN users... I requested time and time again to not repost them but of course later on, I busted some twit taking credit for my work on a old theme site (who happened to be the site admin) I told him either credit me for my artwork or remove them. He banned me from his site, so I had his site taken down for piracy/copyright infringement.

One snot nose punk got the royal bitchslap that he never expected. The OS elements I credited to the respective owners, but the XMB wallpaper was my own photo. As a photographer (hobby) any picture you take, as long as you can prove the original print or source file, is a smoking gun.

The day after his domain was pulled with a cease and desist, he was ban bait on IGN. That put a smile on my face and never made any more images since due to people who just don't understand.

Just like getting a silly ban from a Nintendo fan site as I often jokingly called my own GameCube a lunchbox. Topics about anything not Nintendo related and hating on Sega or Sony was rampant.

Talk about touchy! I still have my lunchbox somewhere around here but since I still have a backwards compatible Wii, I can't find it a new home even for a reasonable price.

Apologies for carrying this on but if I may...

I agree with you about the board should be primary on SEGA with Nintendo discussion being a mere discussion point.

I don't get why you can't say if you don't like a console or a company (I don't hate any company personally...just decisions of x company when they do something stupid)....but I guess the internet is serious business.

I wish people were friendly online as well as IRL...some of the trolls and nasty message from anon members wouldn't dare say this to your face....most likely because they don't have any muscle or fight in them...the rules should apply here too (not SEGAbits, I mean the internet in general). You say something really messed up or bad? IP ban...unfortunately some sites don't ban the bad eggs or worse yet...they take part in the trolling due to being chums with those bad eggs...

Anyway, glad to not see that as much here and you can express yourself how you wish!

I just needed to say this, I'm glad I see more open minds here who not only love Sega and Sega games and hardware, but still have an open mind and not afraid to admit owning a Wii or other object or subject that's easy to hate on or bring up a complete flame war.

I quit posting on IGN being a member (and regular) there since 2001 mainly for the reasons you describe. The mods were rather abusive in some areas while completely slacking in another (sometimes fueling the fire too) and I simply grew tired of it there with the bloated board code which was slow and clunky.

They finally did overhaul the message boards, but the tightly knit communities left due to a insane number of ads (even after paying a yearly subscription to remove them) and a huge waste of screen space.

What game news and reviews that were exclusive to paid members (including posting permissions on many forums) wasn't worth it any longer. What forums I did visit eventually became ghost towns or were deleted.

Made me rather sad as it was a way to keep busy on a boring day or I'd discuss in game help topics which Metroid Prime was a popular spot. The black eye of the entire community was the Gamecube General Board. Nothing but system wars and far fetched hopefor the Gamecube faithful who decided that was the only console they wanted. The other was the free access board known as "Teh Vestibule" (autocorrect gave me a real fight on that).

I hope that this place never becomes that awful nightmare.

I remember when I was hired at Sega and a interview moment I and my future department bead never forgot.

That odd moment of silence that creeps in when a employer asks if you if you have any questions. Less than a second later I replied 'When do I start?"... That really caught him off guard as most people are rather timid under pressure in a situation that they are not control of.

Take the bull by the horns and stand out, make them feel that they need you instead of being in a room of others who may take another potential chance from you.

They liked my response and acting like I'd be starting the following Monday. Just as important as I teach most doctors and staff to treat the patient instead of the paperwork. It makes a huge difference in how a doctor / patient relationship works. Allowing trust without transference. Still a long article I'm working on hoping to get published in the future.

Long story short, confidence goes a long way even in the most awkward situations.

Best of luck on the job front!

Right now, I'm kinda pissed that I made a C in C++ class. I've talked to a couple of classmates of mine and they all made Cs too. I'm really wondering what the hell is wrong with my teacher. I mean really a freakin' C?! It should have been a B or at least a A. He only assigned one homework assignment and forgot about it. -_-

I don't see why grades are important if it's an assignment.

Anyway, don't be too hard up over it, everyone else got the same it seems....thinking you should get a higher grade probably gives the impression that you deserve better then what you have done...and believe me, teachers don't like that attitude.

You'll just have to try harder to prove him/her wrong the next time.

Star Trek Into Darkness screened early to cancer patient:

http://collider.com/star-trek-2-into-darkness-images/221396/

Quote
Hi everyone, it’s Daniel’s wife, we are of course sworn to secrecy, BUT we are officially allowed to say we saw it and we enjoyed it IMMENSELY as a film and as a gesture…However; Daniel ‘hates’ being an ‘inspiring cancer story’ we his friends and loved ones would prefer for the update to have more of a heartfelt message of giving, especially during this season:

This is a story of us giving something to him, the ‘internet’ community giving something to him and ultimately being a heartwarming gift to our friends, family and so many others. This story of us (and of course JJ Abrams & Bad Robot) being able to give this surprise gift of a screening to a huge movie buff like Daniel, especially a film made by a film maker who obviously makes movies with such care, with a fan like Daniel in mind (and a person like me who knows slightly less about these things). Also, it was truly amazing that a film-maker so secretive as JJ Abrams was kind enough to show this to us.

It is also so wonderful for his friends & his family to finally hear some good news from us, They know how important film is to Daniel & could not think of a better way to please to him. So this gesture really has brought a lot of smiles all around.

It was a wonderful thing to see with Daniel and a wonderful thing to see Daniel enjoy – Making someone as ill as he is smile for any length of time really makes a difference. (At this point making me smile is good too)

This is also so poignant as JJ Abrams took so much care in the first Star Trek movie to at least TRY to get everything ‘right’ for the fans and we were so touched when he was concerned that we wouldn’t 100% enjoy the screening as it’s still being worked on…….Be assured we enjoyed it 110%! We are so grateful thank you, thank you, thank you…..

i dont hate u. i think your allright. but you get your downs as well.

me spamming? look i dont necessarily make topics based on facts or statistics. yes these topics are important as well. but we all donate an amount of read content. one may be emotional. one cruel. one neutral. one facts only etc...

Semmie, you're really not helping your case. Here's how it works: you break forum rules, you get warned. You don't listen, you get warned again which leads to a temporary ban. When the ban is lifted you shut the fuck up and quit talking about it. Seriously, shits getting real old.

why are you so fed up? i thought you were mentally trained well. never did i insult you. and most of the time i actually interested in your topics. so when someone is different then the average person who pretends to be politically correct.

i can only count one time where i was really wrong. and im really thankfull to you to bring me back into this. but isnt it a bit over reacting what you do? i mean your a moderator and therefor im bound to abide the rules. and so i do. and if i tend to break the rules as u claim.

so if im a console warrior( i know u think that of me) you gave nintendo game nerd the attention to even embed his youtube movie inside the segabits. ok and if u didnt embed it. i didnt see you remove it. and i dont have problems with that. but there should be a thing called justice.

so now that i have said this. and i feel good now i want to mention the yakuza topic. i was talking to grants. and we allready pm. something u didnt know ofcourse. then when u see a text u suddenly become like shakaa zulu tripping on magic mushrooms that i am not cool. crackdude backing this up perhaps made u feel better i dont know. but the fact is that grants is cool with me. so as an advice to you as a moderator(i was one to at sega2000 back in the days). then be a pious and righteous person.
no one is the same and some of us are extra different. and i admit to be amongst those

but if you would ask all my friends
and i swear by god the allmighty. and you would ask them who is the one that actually helped us when we were in a fight? who ws the one giving us money in times of hardship? u see im not a saint and i dont wanna show off. but i wanna make that point. that even tho loads of peeps in past and the present. they found me as the only reliable friend.

to get back onto it.
this forum has a standard in her speaking about topics. so when i came into play that changed. and me being excited i basically look in this forum freaking every 15 minutes if not every 5 minutes. and i just hope someone is going to say something new or some good rumor or news. and with this excitement i talk happy crazy for the fucking sega fan that i am.
this excitement brings an explosion of a reaction

you are not used to that
i know you are used to random news like: this game has come out. sega is doing good. or sonic generations discussion
or sega classics

unfortunatelly barry shit aint like that . this site is not a religious base. this is sega. and u should know better that the sega fan base are the real man. we ARE the real MAN. im serious when i say this. and we real man make some noise sometimes .if not all the time
i even like the crackdude who is with u. he flames sometimes and thats allright. but when you point at me im rude im gonna be honest and tell u that this person did the same.

and ok to quote you
shut the fuck up and quit

thats a rich way of being human towards another. u just did the same as me minus the xrated picture.
its ok tho. but barry you may be a mod. but it shouldnt be the case to shut up cause you are a mod. that would make you devine. and you are not devine. im neither.

as for the rules. i broke the rules explicetly just one time. and u banned me and forgave me. i thank u for that im serious. i was cool with that.
but for puting me on mute this time. it just didnt make sense. im sorry man that was sad.
there were moments where i actually thought like yo is this guy in his mentrual period? is he even a guy?
im not kidding you barry.
but i have a great news for you.

i will put sand over this. and im ok with you. maybe you had a bad day i dont know. when i have a bad day i do this to sometimes and later on i realise what a nerd i was. i said what i said ill continue in peace.
i will abide the consolewarrior rule. although i think it contradicts me as a sega fan.

have a nice day barry
and even if you are not happy with me. you never touched me or attacked me. yeah verbally. but that doesnt hurt like a punch right?
im cool with you. i like jet set radio to. so we do have soething in common

peace bro

Enough, Semmie. Don't make anymore posts about Barry, okay? It's a bad idea and will get you into more trouble with him. Just keep making awesome posts about SEGA and everything will be good :)

I don't want to see you get into trouble again.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on January 13, 2013, 10:01:27 am
What Will said. No more, semmie. You are on serious thin ice as is. Reconsidered it: The ice broke.

Having read your whole post, I am issuing a warning. The console warrior part? Goes against the rules. You have got to stop thinking that a love of all things SEGA is some all-powerful protection for the shit you say to others. An on the reverse of that, you have to stop thinking that any time somebody enjoys something outside of SEGA, it's some attack on SEGA fandom or some bizarre insult to SEGA fans everywhere.

The bit where you think it's funny to say somebody is on their period or if they're "even a guy"? Insulting, sexist and straight up stupid. Again, insulting user/staff is against the rules. Another warning.

You need to learn to take warnings seriously, and you haven't. Again and again. So you're going right back to being muted. Consider this a double warning: Breaking multiple forum rules in a single post, and not learning a thing straight after a ban. Hopefully, once the ban lifts, you'll learn a lesson for once. If not, then a third warning will be issued which, per forum rules: "three strikes and you're out."

The Dragon Ball bug has bit me again. I'm thinking I might starting getting the Kai season sets on blu-ray. There are only four of them, and the first three are only $28 each. The complete series of DBZ on blu-ray stopped after two releases, and doesn't look like the rest is coming any time soon.

On the verge of getting a GameGear.
Would love to find a tutorial on how to mod the thing with an LCD and battery packs.

You get solid battery life on Game Gear nowadays. I've already put about 15 hours of gameplay on those puppies and they're still going strong. It was six months ago when I first put batteries in it. I've been keeping track for a future review of the unit.

If you should find anyone that can MOD the system, I'm still looking to rig it so I can hook it up to a TV. Better than recording footage off the screen.

Game Gear and other old battery eating portables get a lot of shit for short battery life, but people seem to forget or don't know that battery technology has come a long way since the 90s. Pick up a pack of quality rechargeables and a multi battery charger and I think you can get quite a bit out of a Game Gear or Nomad. Far more than a 3DS for sure, plus you aren't buying new batteries like the old days.

I used to be a huge X-Men fan, but literally stopped because Marvel puts out so many fucking X-Men related books. Like...

X-Men (all woman team)
X-Men Legendary (So far about Xavir's son)
All-New X-Men (Old X-men time travel to the present)
Cable and the X-Force (X-Force is a side team of the X-Men)
Uncanny X-Force
Uncanny X-Men
Wolverine and the X-Men (Wolverine has his own school of mutants)
A+X (X-Men team up book with Avengers)

All this is going on right now, monthly. FFS.

I like this and the fact that they are doing Days of Future Past, too bad I think its too long to do in a single movie and they are bound to fuck it up. But I'm optimistic .

Having major trouble on Fire Emblem lately.

I never expected it to be harder then Valkyria Chronicles to be honest.

I like the concept of Fire Emblem, but I hate the perma-death (worse then VC in my honest opinion), and since I am playing the HARDEST Fire Emblem released in the west, I have my work cut out for me on EASY mode. D:

But....I can't wait for Awakening....I hope SEGA rescues me with Valkyria Chronicles....as Fire Emblem maybe my "go to" SRPG if they don't start making VC games for the west again. ;)

In all seriousness though, I have two options should I come to play SRPGs this gen....Square seems to be done with Final Fantasy Tactics, so I have little choice in the SRPG genre.

Beat Disgaea 3 but I am not interested in the post game whatsoever, and Jeanne D'Arc doesn't interest me at all.

6AM. Still can't sleep.

solutions

sleeping pills
counting sheep
smoking weed


solutions to forgetting that u cant sleep:

watch tv nce program.(u might just fall asleep and if u dont it doesnt matter cause u like what u look at)
have sex. adrenaline will do the rest. u will like it and u wont complain that u cant sleep.

ok what if u have insomnia?

be creative. usually when people cant sleep and pick up a pencil or pen to write u will actually find yourself inventing a new sega console.

where it was revealed
which situation it was revealed
and why it was revealed.

my current thought is that people nowadays are blind.

and no doubt the dumb asses will accept the human chip in their head. and when u do sell your soul.


but im free from this torment.
if there is any muslims here : salaam eleikoem

and for the non muslims
read the quran
read the hadiths
read the explanations of ibn kathir

and then judge

dont ask cnn
dont ask the media
dont ask the free masonic government of america

ask the muslim man and woman

I'm so depressed and worn out, can't get anything done. This hive problem is driving me nuts. I had hives a few years ago, eventually figured out it was ibuprofen(NSAIDS) causing it.

I just recently broke out in them really severly a few days ago. and they aren't going away. It's beyond frustrating and is SO miserable feeling. I have no idea why i got them either, there hasn't been any major changes in my life style.

I already know that going to the doctors and getting treated is useless from my first time experiencing hives, they don't know what's causing it, and all they can tell you to do is take anti-histamine or prescribe you steroids, which they don't put you on for very long cause they say they are dangerous for your body.. lol

so... I've read something about how water is a natural anti-histamine, and that if you keep yourself fully hydrated, it will help fight off hives.

ive already read that people take 100mg of benedryl for severe hives, and that emergency rooms give you 200mg of benedryl in IV form for hives.

so yeah.. i guess i'll try taking 75mg-100mg of benedryl tonight, don't know what else to do. i've been taking average sized doses, which sorta helps.. i mean the hives are still spreading, but they aren't getting worse in terms of swelling, but they arent going away either.

i guess if none of this works i'll have to go to the doctor and get blood tests done and see if there is an underlying cause making me break out in hives. sigh.

and yeah, these hives don't just itch.. sometimes they got a really bad burning sensation.. which is horrible. but ive read it's normal for hives to do that.. sigh

Oh? I'd like to read that paper. I love Psycho. Recently wrote a review on the new TV series.

@Will - I'm really sorry to hear that. I used to break out into hives when I was little. Doctor's couldn't figure it out then either. My mom suspects it was that experience that made me afraid of doctors. Over time, my mom found that the hives always coincided with my father leaving. We lived in Big Bear, but my father was LAPD. Only saw him on the weekends. Once our living situation changed, the hives stopped showing up. Figured they were induced by stress. May be something to that. They'd show up whenever I was stressed, followed by the ocassional panic attack.

However, my stress level's maintained a bit better these days. Haven't had hives in years.

I hope you get better, bro.

ooh, yeah, ive read that hives can be onset by stress. i think that's happened to me in the past, but this is too severe what i have rightnow to be brought on by stress.

so this morning i woke up completely swollen, lips, hands, everything. pretty sure i was going to have to go to the emergency room later today.

So i decided to try a last attempt and take some wal-zyr, which is a generic for zyrtec, it was such a little dose though that i didnt think it would do anything, its meant for seasonal allergies.

but it seems to be helping with my swelling, so fingers crossed that it continues to!

also going to buy an air filter for my room, It's obvious im never gonna figure out what is causing this for me, and ive cleaned lots of stuff and it didnt help much.. so im thinking its gotta be something airborne.

Perhaps in a few hundred years reason will overrule superstition. In the meantime, looks like I'm goin' to hell! :D

u are nothing more then any other. u blieve in theorys. science hasnt proven wrongs or right in fact it is scientifically proven that there is a one source that runs this whole thing. so it is proven one thing

u can call it whatever. or timmy jimmy
but it is one source and i say it is god.

u say darwinissm? that theory has been refuted a while ago
u say cells bla bla donsaurs evolution. evolution has never been proven.

so i dont really like to debate this not because i think ill win or lose that one. but its basically that u go for theorys and i go for facts.
80 prcnt of the quran have been proven for a 100 prcnt by science that it is truth. and guess what it was nonmuslims who confirmed this

ok yeah the other 20 prcnt is about djinns and other dimensions.

in the quran it ws written that world ws round. europe thought it was flat. i could go on and on.

but u love theorys
i love facts

ofcourse im speaking of myself

u might say u believe theorys and i in fairy tales

but even so. u aint anything better then me in that one. cause if that is truly the case that u believe in these theorys that have NEVER been proven.. duh there were big man duh there were dwarf races in indonesia. a neanderthaler shaven and given a smoking suit looks just like us. basically adding hair was the dumbest thing.

theorys have never ever been proven.
it has been proven that there is one soutce based on mathematical calculations w all basically cant deny

so all with all

let us just say u believe in a theory as i say so

and u will sy i believe in a tale


then unfortunate barry yo. your living the same delussional life

but ofcourse i claim ur wrong and u claim im wrong


but in the end we shall see who was really right


to end this here and right now

to me my believe and to u yours


allah says:

1.O Al-Kâfirûn (disbelievers in Allâh, in His Oneness, in His Angels, in His Books, in His Messengers, in the Day of Resurrection, and in Al-Qadar)!
2.     "I worship not that which you worship,
3.     "Nor will you worship that which I worship.
4.     "And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping.
5.     "Nor will you worship that which I worship.
6.     "To you be your religion, and to me my religion (Islâmic Monotheism)."

i respect you and i love to live a life where peeps can coexist. so ill give u props and i hope u will find your enlightment in this conquest of life
verily life will finish soon and when were 70 years barry.( ask the elders)
you will find out that these 70 years were like one day or less. and all u have is memory acces to the ast like photos and films in your head speaking of the good old days.

@Will,
Perhaps you are allergic to something new that you haven't noticed yet. Are you using new washing detergent for your clothes/sheets or perhaps a new kind of soap/shower gel? There are lots of little things to think about. Though I've never had hives and don't really know what courses them.

@Semmie,
On Segabits you'll find people who believe in all sorts of things, or don't believe in them as the case my be. That's life, you just have to learn to let it go.

Oh, boy, we are getting into a much broader discussion...

We can explain how the universe works but no amount of research will determine how it came to be.... what was the cause? It's just two ways of looking at the world, really.

For all the accusations of there being no God, I'm just sayin' that it is not unreasonable to assume otherwise and that's as far as I go.

I'm agnostic, so I don't give two shits either way. If there's a higher power at work, when I croak I'll just have to say, "My bad, bro!" If that fucks me over in the long run, then it won't be any different than life.

In the meantime, I'll live, laugh, eat, drink and fuck until my heart's content. :D

I can't eat, drink or smoke during sex. Too distracting. It's perfectly acceptable afterward, but not during.

Laughing's good though. My ex once said something really fucked while in the heat of the moment. She said - and I quote - "I want to break your dick off in my pussy and carry it with me always." It was easily the weirdest fucking thing I ever heard and just started laughing. Thankfully, she wasn't offended. So afraid I pissed her off.

Been debating if re-arranging or mixing classic Sega tunes is in my best interests or not. I don't want to spin my wheels if there's nobody that cares for them. My other favorite game series is Ys which I was first introduced to on the TurboGrafx 16 CD and then Ys III on the Genesis (great sounding game considering the hardware). I now have all the games on my PSP classics page and the publisher Xseed really has done a stellar job on porting these games for fans of the series.

Essentially, my mind is a train wreck with little squishy bits littered about my house.

My iPhone is tweaking on me, my climate control has a mind of it's own, and the worst of all... I'm out of thin mint Girl Scout cookies! #first world problems ya ya ya.

Yeah, we talked about this before we moved to Sonic Retro's servers. I'm thinking of asking one of them to fix the RSS feeds for good. I'm as bothered by the issue as you are. Trust me, we put in effort on those podcasts and it sucks that the RSS feeds are down. I'm going to try and see if I can get it working by this upcoming Friday.

We might not even have a show this week because someone that used my computer thought my Desktop was too 'messy' and decided to delete the podcast before I uploaded (the site was down last night). Now I'm using data recovery software.

In before Barry yells at me.

Congrats AJ. What is the max score?

I still listen to your podcast every episode, and it's worth the effort of downloading and moving it manually into itunes and syncing it to my phone, but you also deserve to have a bigger audience.

I am probably 48 hours away from throwing out a somewhat inexpensive but vital piece of video game capture device. Why? Because I cannot, for the life of me find an adequate way of recording footage without running into a multitude of issues (sometimes, even the regular SD TV just screws something up).

Tried 'em all... S-Video outlets, Component... all of 'em have nagging audio and video issues that just make me sick!

The only time I got a decent video was also the time I discovered that the darn audio was on mono. Most people don't notice it, but when you stick earphones into your computer, ouch!
I'm gonna save up for something better in the near future, hopefully HD capture devices will become more afordable by then.

Holy Shit Fire Emblem/Sacred Stones is fucking expensive complete in the box.

I missed out on Sacred Stones that went for £40 CIB...and that is CHEAP!

FFS Nintendo, distribute your games with better stock next time....geez....

On the Awakening bandwagon, but I feel like the GBA games to be honest...and I don't want it in Cartridge only for two reasons:

1) Fake cartridges rarely have a box, so it's easier to buy the genuine article with a box.

2) Best to get the box so the cartridge can't get lost in the post...like they can do with Amazon/eBay.

And I finally realise how untruthful some gamers can be (on another website of course).

Was deleted by someone without them telling me why I was deleted....happened with another a few weeks back (because they squealed on me a half-truth, half-lie confession to a crush of theirs), so now I am three members down and the community are all in just has elitists/Weeaboos all listening to each other doing stupid kawaii stuff and ignoring the new people (or people who aren't as into JRPGs) who have more to contribute then the whole community in the stream. (even more laughable is how the guys who were streaming are the ones who control the site (nothing against them), and they are all "OMG GOOD GAME!" and ignore me when I say, "This looks boring, sorry to say that as it looks like a Minecraft clone", geez people, do you have your own will to form an opposing opinion? I know the admin has good taste in games, but now and again you CAN go against what he says...)

I'm done with the community there...it's just a place for gamers to show off and drop people when they have a small problem with them.

Benfica fans stuck in the past again?

Reminds me of when United fans say the same thing, but being the "best" doesn't necessarily mean you have to win a trophy...just consistent...and besides that, United pay the refs when it comes to the big matches (I'm a Man City fan).

I do honestly believe United don't deserve half of those trophies because Fergie bitches and whines when they lose or the referee isn't buying their BS on tackles when United are the worst offenders in tackling players.

However, I am more hateful against Everton....simply because they don't play football, their tactic is to "hit hard" and get a lucky shot to win by obscuring the defenders/goalkeeper. I mean, sure Liverpool fans go on about their "History" but they are simply living in the past too since they're not a "big" club any more, but Everton...ugh....how do they stay in the Premier League with the least money (even less then the other clubs who are managed WELL!?!) and get away with Red Cards/Tackles that can ruin a career? Yet they bitch when City buys one of their players for 4x the amount? I have to wonder where the fuck that money goes every year since they don't seem to spend it nor do they get any known players (the ones they do get, seems to have the "hurt your opponent" mentality, which probably doesn't cost much).

lol Sorry Crackdude, I seemed to have waffled on from your Benfica post....overall I like both teams (and Braga), but I see what you mean.

United has been pretty consistent over the years.. Though I ran out of voice celebrating City's late championship winner last summer, United is a beast team gotta admit it..
It's wonderful what money has done to City tho. Great team, great football. Call me a fan. I'm just weary that when the big boss gets bored and takes his money elsewhere City might be in for a downfall. Seriously hope not.

Got a lot on my mind lately...

This month of April in particular has really helped me stay motivated, it's also a great month for parties, because me, my mom, Grandma and one of my best buds, all have our birthdays in the same month. It helps get over my immediate uncertainty about future endavours...

Which segways into one thing that I've noticed, all job hunters in Portugal should know this: Unless you live within 8000-5000 yards to the company you wish to submit your resumé to, chances are they won't be interested. Proximity matters, a lot. And I learned that the hard way.

Now segwaying into somethin' a little less gloomy, my final audit job is done and the paycheck is in the mail, hopefully tommorow or on Tuesday, I'll know if they still want to work with me on any upcoming projects.

I don't mind personally, since City's won something for once, and United can't taunt us for at least 10 years of not winning a trophy.

I don't like Fergie one bit despite his achievements....especially when he cries foul to shit HE gets away with...I hate the man...but I don't hate United all that much (perhaps the United fans who don't "live" in Manchester).

I hope they win for you! They play good football.

Talking to nobody in particular:

If you're online, and you read a story, why in the world would you head to another site and give them grief for missing the story? You got the information, shouldn't that satisfy you?  And if you care enough to tell other sites that they missed it, why not submit a news tip instead of acting surprised that a piece of news did not get posted? Not to mention that inevitably, the site that posted the news first, likely missed their fair share of stories. I should note that often, the news being touted as being "missed" was actually posted at some crazy hour that somebody in my timezone wouldn't be awake to even see just yet.

tl;dr - submit a news tip. its better than giving me grief for "missing" something.

Thanks I guess, lol.

Although the football team that is closest to me is in the Non-League and likely not exist by the end of September...and City fans seem to hate on them just because they get beat by them in every friendly, which is pretty petty of City fans.

Regarding things, you do get dickhead City fans also...as I've experienced for nudging a guy once and apologised and got a "Prick" in response, a role model to his kid I say....

We could sing the same song United sung at Chelsea to United.

"United today will be grinning. Fergie keep that trophy glistening. We'll be back next May, to take it away. Walking in a City wonderland".

Who do you support anyway? I pretty much like most English Football teams and hope Wigan survive this year.

So you were banned for making a small comment to someone who was bugging you? Wow...why is Gaf so serious about almost everything?

That thread in particular is known for getting members banned too.

I really see no point in posting on NeoGaf, unless you have the same opinion as everyone else or you stand out for being "unique", getting banned seems to be an easy indicator of you being different to every other member on there, or in your case defend yourself from someone's annoying posts.

Politically-themed topics never seem to have a happy outcome for anybody on NeoGaf.

Update: Though, in hindsight, my comment was a bit heavy and broad. NeoGaf is broadly liberal/left-leaning and the sense I get is that non-positive remarks about Barack Obama and the Democrats in general are unpopular and not well accepted.

There's also the Most Wanted port, and the upcoming Deus Ex port.

Most people don't blindly hate the Wii U, and it'll probably be worth the money once Ninty get's it 1st party stuff, but there legit complaints about it(namely the lack of games and a touch screen feature which none of the target audiences seem to be interested in).

This is best left to the Wii U thread though.

Fair enough. I am so glad I am not into politics...I think that all politicans are cut from the same cloth (not really caring for the general public, only doing things to benefit themselves).

I am more shocked that a gaming forum is so serious about politics really.

I once remember seeing a guy at the Escapist Forums get banned for including a crying baby gif in his post about "tired of cynicism". It didn't really seem like a bannable offense, maybe something for a suspension.

But then again...

Some of my online friends decided to talk behind my back. (one compared me to another guy because he was jealous of me....needless to say, he was the better friend (apparently) for having a brain like mush since I talked to this person with more of her interests) So I end up blocking them both and never speaking to them again...because having a gang mentality of a person should NOT be tolerated on the internet....giving someone an opinion of someone else is fine, but when they influence others or are influenced...it's despicable.

On the opposite side of the coin, I don't like how people listen to your problem with a certain person, and they either:

Ignore you entirely and speak to them as though your opinion doesn't matter or they tell them what you said behind their back.

Happened to me as well in both scenarios....with the latter I decided to come clean with the dude I spoke about (even claiming I didn't say anything that negative....the person twisted the story and blocked me so I couldn't defend myself), but chose to believe her....so I don't speak to him now because he should know better when I mentioned one of his known flaws to someone so infatuated with him (and I even said most people accept it, like my flaw).

I should have known as I recall you having an Arsene Wenger avatar.

Wenger does make me laugh with his "I did not see it" quotes when something happens on the pitch.

It's not a problem, it's not like United stole your striker or anything...which sucks in the highest order to be honest.

Yeah, he pisses me off with it all the time...and that Fergie time....and yet the fans bitched when a team came back at them with more time then expected...

Third strike. Was banned once for posting a photo of a big black penis, and I foolishly let him return (turned out something like that is a zero tolerance rule, shoulda been a permaban). Second strike insulting users and staff in January, strike 2.5 console warrior talk (insulting anybody who likes nonSEGA stuff), third strike insulting users and staff again.

Really, the dude couldn't learn a lesson.

You know what... I really want to see My Life With SEGA take on Shadow the Hedgehog.

In fact, I'd love to see a month of games (or hell, just a few videos) where you take on games outside of your comfort zone or games that are not targeted towards you. lol, would be an interesting experiment.

If I ever get around to animation, I'll keep Shadow in mind.

There are very few genres outside my comfort zone, such as RPG and Sports games. However, I'll be reviewing Panzer Dragoon Saga very soon, along with Jammit. I'm even planning a board-to-video game adaptation....Clue!

He manages Tottenham now. He is forever ruined, I would have accepted him at ex-Chelsea, but now he went too far. Can't believe I use to feel sorry for the guy!

I also think most of our problem fall back at board room level, we have an American owner who wants us to be run as a business, he needs to go or adjust his strategy, Arsene can only do so many miracle jobs before we fall out of the Champions League like Liverpool has.

lol, he should know how Arsenal fans feel about Tottenham.

Ah right (edited, as I realised what you said)

Yeah, for now it's looking rosy, but I am looking at long term for now....given everything, it's better than United's long term future....and to a bigger extent, Everton's. lol

The squirrel rat is actually fantastic, very much inspired by the great classic Tex Avery shorts. But the rest of the material... yeah, pretty mediocre to bad. I actually love the first movie, it had great heart, funny characters. The little girl interacting with the animals reminded me of Jungle Book or Monsters Inc. I saw the sequel and it was awful. Caught the third one on dvd and it was worse.

Really, your best bet it to watch the first movie, and then watch only the Scrat shorts and scenes on YouTube.

Now that I've got some more open time again I'm gonna try and start to exercise regularly, would be nice to be in shape by the end of the year. I think I'll start off with running, pretty simple, and no equipment required. Just gotta ease into it, and it'd be fun to try rollerblading again after my failed attempt last year.

Asshole professor is trying to screw me over. For some odd reason professors usually don't fancy me, but this guy was pretty evil. I have a dozen-page report to write in 2 days about an experiment that no one has been able to reproduce.

Other than that, I have another 2 reports to send in next week and 4 tests. Killer week. I need to maintain calm..
I know that feels. My Circuit Analysis teacher is the same way. He keeps getting on me about something while another student does absolutely nothing in class other than looking up shoes and Facebook. Not to mention that I have him for the summer semester and might have to deal with his farts during breaks.

Good thing I don't have a summer semester this year. I haven't had a break from Uni since July last year though.. This is the final stretch and it's a pain.

Today I did a test in which I only need a 2/20 to pass the course, and I have serious doubts I'll make it.

That's pretty nice of you, but it's no good if you're the one freezing. I hope i dont sound.... pessimistic or whatever the word is, but people will keep taking advantage of you if you don't put your foot down and start telling them to bring their own stuff, make them freeze for the night if they forget.

i know that sounds mean, but you're freezing off the night for them, so if you can survive it then they can too.

Number 2: I've been fiddling around with the infamous AV2HDMI converter box for a while and have reached the following conclusion - it was made for older consoles. I've tested out this box with a PS2, Dreamcast and Gamecube at 4:3 settings and it looks really good.

I just realised that by the end of next year, Hugh Jackman would have played Wolverine in 7 different films.

Great dedication for the role from him unlike most actors who want to bail out after only a few films and still mixing it in with some great work in between (Les Misérables and The Prestige being the notable ones)

Manchester was apparently the hottest region last Friday (which is odd since London I would have thought of as hotter), and I couldn't even bare 28 Celsius (81 F)!!! I can't bare heat...which is why I dread to think what I'd be like in America.

Also I sleep in a loft (which you guys call an Attic), which makes it a Sauna. ;~;

i sleep in the same kind of area too

so i feel your pain, but there is solutions

open a window, put a fan infront of the window, if that fan doesnt hit you, get another fan and position it somewhere so it hits you, and that will keep some airflow going. Not ideal like AC or anything, but its better then nothing.

Also, lights create heat, so if you leave any lights on during the day, turn them off and just have a small light on instead

How good SEGA are, but also how overlooked many of their games remain, especially arcade titles or older console small print runs, like Snatcher or Panzer Saga.

I'm not so much sick of it as I wish there was more stuff happening. There are events, but they don't happen often. Mainly it is character's birthdays and the usual weekly stuff. I liked the bug hunt. Really hope the game has fun Halloween stuff. I am a sucker for Halloween.

I agree with this :)

But in all honesty, I'm not sure about that thread..
I mean, everyone has a different point of view, and as much as we all like to stray away from controversy, ideas clash and someone says something you know it's "wrong" so you feel the need to post... It will lead to angry discussion eventually..

I don't think it'll lead to anything positive. It's a very personal subject.

ive been losing hair since high school... the "bald" spots have been pretty easy to hide cause of my thick hair, but it seems like they are

getting harder and harder to hide. Do I just face the fact that I'm not meant to have hair, embrace my manly genes and shave my head? I mean

I'm not even half way through my 20's yet! if i was in my 30's i wouldn't give a shit >_> but it feels akward at this age.

What if I look absoutely hideious? I'll have to wear a hat forever...

Damn it.. this isn't something I want to think about, but i have to, my hair isn't just going to magically grow back.

Pretty self-concious feeling about this

pretty personal secret ive been hiding for a while, but its getting worse, not very easy to hide anymore. I felt that maybe if I talk about it i might feel more confident in shaving my head.

Anyone got any advice?
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Happy Cat on August 21, 2013, 01:48:00 am
Actually i think i got a solution now. I think I was over reacting, i mean it's obviously balding, but its not severe as i imagine it. I've always had mediumish length hair, and

ive read that longer hair empasises baldspots more, so i think what I will do for the time being is cut my hair shorter and style it that way its not a complete shock for when i do eventually have to go bald, whether that be in 1 years or 10 years. i like that idea. :)

I'm not balding at all, but I am getting little gray hairs to the left and right of my forehead. Not many, just enough that I pluck the noticeable ones. Hopefully I get the Mr. Fantastic look. Or it stops where its at and I don't get more until I turn 50.

So for anyone who is curious, i cut my hair short. Don't have to go bald just yet, luckily. Seems like it will work for the time being, looks much better then it did when it was longer (sadly). But that's life :) lol, no need to get all depressed over it. Dealing with situations life throws at you makes you a better person.

SEGA should totally release a Chao app for the next Sonic game. Have it be an iOS title with Xbox accessibility (I know this is possible, as Wordament is an app that allows you to play a game that is linked to your Xbox Live account). Could probably do the same with Playstation.

Well, at least the option to buy a 3DS is still there, 2DS is more of a kids handheld or cheaper alternative to people who don't care for 3D.

As much as i don't game on 3D, i do enjoy turning the 3D on every once in a while. The intro for KH3D was pretty sweet in 3D and MGS3D looks trippy in 3D as well.

Current thought: I used the word 3D 8 times in my post..

See, thing is I like to have the choice. I don't play in 3D all the time, but it is nice to have the feature there and it IS great with select games. Mario 3D Land and Kid Icarus come to mind. The SEGA 3D classics whole gimmick is the 3D. In 2D only you might as well play an emulator.

Plus, like I said before, the price isn't THAT drastic. The extra money is well worth it for the clamshell and option for 3D. The XL model even moreso for the bigger screen.

I hope so. But this signing has more than just an impact on the quality of the team as well as the perception of the club.

For a while now we've been known as misers, unwilling to spend any sort of respectable figure to get the player we want as well as selling our star players. Basically a selling club, the purchase of Ozil is (Hopefully) a signal of intent, trying to drag us back with the elite clubs of Europe and furthermore, back to the top of the English game.

Still early days, we've had a horrible transfer window (Only one proper striker in our team! (No I'm not including Bendtner, destroyer of Portuguese dreams (r) )) and signing players of Ozil's calibre should become the norm for us, not the exception. But I am hopeful that this might be the turning point, last time our accession started and ended with Dennis Bergkamp, maybe Ozil can do the same.

The entire season felt flat, the inclusion of so many useless new characters was a drag, but I am enjoying how people are having different reactions/interpretations of the ending. It manages to make you think in spite of horrible writing.

So not great, but whatever. I never wanted to like this show anyway, it was too dark and was filled with continuity and incongruousness. I recommend watching Death Note for a more congruent experience with a similar subject.

Let's see if we remember this show a few years down the road, I still remember every single scene of Lost.

It's a shame you couldn't really appreciate Dexter a little more, even as much as i didn't care for the ending, i still loved the series. It took up a big chunk of my life for a while, been watching this show for years, so it definitely won't be something i'll be forgetting about any time soon.

If it makes you feel any better, the ending to Season 4 was spoiled for me by my wife's mom 10 minutes before the season ended.. Yeah, that shit happened.

Oh no, I'm not mad at you or anything. No worries. You just said it was a disappointment, which really doesn't give anything away. I've found everything post season 5 to be a disappointment.

I was spoiled by season 4 thanks to Google. The week after the episode aired, I searched Google for the closest "Rita's" which is a local ice cream chain. First Google result for "Rita's"? "Rita's shocking death". lol

Haha, that's a pretty hilarious way of having something spoiled. It's a hell of a lot better than having someone say, "i remember this episode, it's the one where Rita dies at the end, right?" =/ ...

I did try and put a spoiler warning before the post.

I am sorry.

Anyway my post just had an analogy type quote which illustrated how the ending is open to multiple interpretations and how everyone seems to have vastly different reactions towards the ending.
_________________________

Dexter lost me from Season 1 only. It was a good show but it was dealing with Anti Social Personality Disorder and his father (Harry) was a dumass, he was not helping the kid (Dexter). He was reinforcing his condition, and that is just stupid. Nonsensically. While their is no cure for ASPD, a therapist can make a patients lack of empathy, socially manageable.

And the thing that just blew away my suspension of disbelief was the Season 1 finale. Why would Harry adopt one brother and dump the other one in an institution. Why don't psychological institutions work in this show?

So I learned fairly early on, not to take this show seriously and always expect a shitty finale and a Season premiere that would obliterate any continuity with the previous season. That said, some seasons did perform better than my expectation like the preceding one.

I was feeling depressed earlier. Shaved and did some drawing and in a much better mood now. I've been feeling pretty negative as of late, especially with regards to my future of wanting to pursue a creative career.

While i was drawing I was thinking of what I've gone through to get to where I am today. It's taken a lot of self control and good decisions and I should be proud of where I am today, not depressed. I mean I'm nowhere where I want to be, but I'm better off then I was years ago, or even a year ago.

I think similar line of thinking applies to anyone who lives life. So if you are feeling down, think of the things you have gone through/accomplished to get to where you are today, and tell yourself you are awesome for achieving what you have achieved and to keep pushing forward through life :)

Yeah. We tend to think negatively about ourselves a lot, well I know I do at least. I assume most other people do too, it's what causes depression. Sometimes its good to look back at everything you've done and see how those decisions that seem small have affected your life.

I try not to judge anyone, we are all at different places in life and have had different challenges thrown at us through life. It's how we handle those challenges that make us better people in the long run. We are all different, no one person is going to have the same life story if you start getting into details. We have to stop comparing ourselves to other people all the time.

Good luck, Will and pirovash. And to Will, following off of your other post here, I can only imagine how stressful it is not only to be warring with a depression that refuses to leave, but also to experience massive personal angst over future career options. Especially for something creative.

I've never been depressed, though I have been depressive. I've been around depressed people. The feeling of inability to escape that loop of negativity is overwhelming, and sometimes people do need help in the form of counseling, medication, or someone to talk to.

Continue working toward your goals! It's a great way to focus your mind on something, and other than just being "distracted" (and you are not just distracted) motivation is a powerful tool and a great way to combat depression.

I sort of get the idea that major risk is endemic to creative professions, especially for people just starting out. Sadly there's no Basic Income Guarantee in the world, yet, to give people who are interested in underpopulated professions the chance to try things out and see if they like it. =P Not sure what sort of art you're into, but even if it doesn't become a career, under the right life circumstances you may never have to stop, like you could continue to sell things online or at Artist Alleys at Comic Con/any convention, whatever local art and craft festivals.

What sort of art do you like, by the way? What medium?

And yeah, comparing ourselves to others sometimes makes no sense. It doesn't help a novelist to become better by thinking about how much he or she sucks. There's inspiration from your surroundings and favorite artists, there's writing circles where people take a look at others' work, and then there's debilitating fear of rejection. I think it's important that everyone have a little self-esteem to function properly

Web Design, or maybe a better term would be graphic design. Print seems to be dying out and the two fields seem to be merging. Of course print will never completely die out, but it's not important as it used to be. I know that's probably not what you thought of when i said creative field, sorry...

When I first got into web design it was from the coding perspective. When I was a teenager i was amazed how you could make things appear on screen with code. So i learned HTML, and eventually CSS, but I struggled with CSS for a while, found it confusing.

Anyways, I just really doubt my skills in designing. When I first got into web design i was really naive and thought code did everything, but of course actual creativity is a huge part! It's been a struggle for me with my classes, but, I appreciate those classes for pointing me in the right direction.

I designed SEGAbits, if that is anything to brag about.. i don't think it is, but people tell me it is. I'm trying to take things more seriously, I've been drawing everyday since August, no matter what kind of mood I'm in, even if I have a throbbing headache or am super tired.

I feel that getting better at drawing will help me a lot. Even though I've seen there is a lot of web designers that don't draw well and still make a living, they just aren't as well off as people that can draw. I started doing some hand studies yesterday because I really need to get better at drawing hands. I also need to practice getting better at shading. I drew this on the 8th, don't look at it if you hate weird things, it was a quick sketch for body drawing practice and i wanted to draw something weird/awesome http://i.imgur.com/HshQhLB.jpg

Sometimes I wonder if i should just purely coding.. but then I try to do some simple Javascript and fail horribly! Programming is really something that confuses me. Although I have coded a simple CMS in PHP before. For some reason i find PHP to make more sense then Javascript.

Anyways, yeah, working towards my goals definitely helps me manage my depression, I used to get deeply depressed, and if I wasn't working towards my goals everyday, I imagine i would still be getting that deeply depressed feeling a lot. Ive been on medicine, been to psychologists, none of that helps me. What helps me is feeling happy and working towards my goals.

But yeah, you nailed it, i just feel really inadequate when I compare myself to lots of other work I see. Makes me feel like I'll never make it as a web designer. It also doesn't help that I'm very socially awkward to begin with. I find it really hard to talk to people sometimes. You might not notice it here, I actually feel just fine on the internet, but in real life its a completely different story.

Of course I want to get good at drawing for more reasons then just web design. I like to create things. Getting good at drawing and being able to create things that I see in my mind would be a really satisfying feeling.

Ah damn, sorry If i went on too long. Realize I've almost made a 1-2 page length paper... just kinda got emotional and let a bunch of stuff out. XD

Thanks for the good luck wishes.

 @Will

Totally fine to share that, no need to apologize. I don't feel put upon or awkward or whatever. It was cool of you to share, and I think Segabits is a great website. It's not a big deal that I was wondering if you were trying to make a living selling clay pots or something either :P, if I'm wrong on my guesses it's okay. And I don't see what's weird about the sketch...

I actually find your comments on the death of print interesting. I mean it seems obvious, since advertising was the main way to make it profitable (and I guess prior to print there was no alternative), but since online stuff eliminates the cost of distribution for traditional print, it's interesting to see that the eclipsing of designing for print is already underway, in the form of what gets taught, or reflected in conventional wisdom.

It sounds like you naturally have an inclination for art, and you already know what you want to do, having a sense of self. Kudos.

Full disclosure, I am an abominable artist, can't sketch or draw to save my life. I like creative visual arts, as self expression, and took a class in high school and college for both. Whenever I moved past the theory parts, I struggled. I performed about as well as one might expect from someone who's not actually an artist, usually getting B's, but it was rough. Also, I took a programming class (Java) and web page creation class (using some very training-wheel, guided program that removed a lot of the difficulty from programming) and it was torture >:D. I liked the complexity of programming and how different functions and pages and etc could be connected together, but I also just didn't have the patience for it. I withdrew from the second class after a month. So kudos for your ability to handle both.

I've since not really taken it further, but I still do love to read books, watch movies, as far as my creative side. One of these days I'm going to get into cooking more and creative writing.

There's not really much I can say to help make your current wordpress theme better. You're currently using the default wordpress theme. It's a nice theme, but since lots of blogs use it, it's not super unique. To make it unique you would have to get into the code and make your own modifications.

There is something you could do though, there is a lot of sites that sell great looking wordpress themes for people to use

http://themeforest.net/category/wordpress/blog-magazine

This one comes to my mind right now, but there is many more sites out there. There is also free themes you can use if you are satisfied enough with one of those: http://wordpress.org/themes/ there is a lot of free themes to look through.

Thanks so much for replying! I really appreciate it. I was feeling soooo self-concious about the post I made. xD. was afraid to look in this topic. Would of assumed i did something wrong if i never got a reply. Glad you don't find anything weird about the sketch, it's one of my favorite ones as of now. I just know some people are weirded out by guys in skirts and such, heh :P

Making websites is fun, but yeah it can be a bit confusing. HTML isn't true programming though. It's just another markup language, similar to bbcode but more advanced. CSS isn't programming either, but its more confusing then HTML. When you do PHP/Javascript and stuff like that, that's real programming.

Also I wouldn't say I'm naturally inclined when it comes to drawing, maybe have a knack at arranging info and images in a visually pleasing way. Lots of it though is just training yourself, it takes effort to know what looks good, to be creative, to be good at drawing(i dont think im good at drawing yet). Anyone is capable of becoming an artist as long as you put the effort into it. Of course there is some people that are born with crazy good talent, but most artists are good because of all the effort and time they've put into improving their skills.

Cooking sounds fun. I've always been interested in cooking something, but ha, always end up taking the easy way out.

wow really? it looks just like the default wordpress theme.

http://wordpress.org/themes/twentyeleven

well, the old default theme. it has a new default theme now. There is an option in that theme to change it black, even though it's white by default. The theme on your blog just looks like the black version of that theme.

anyways, the SEGAbits theme is a custom template i made. what i did when i made the SEGAbits theme is code it in plain HTML/CSS first, then put in the wordpress specific PHP tags to make it work as a wordpress theme.

Not the worst thing in the world to do, but is tedious and time consuming.

Awesome! looks much better. You're banner is way too big though and is making the page stretch. See if there is a setting in the theme somewhere to set a banner width, if not, you'll need to go into the code and set an image width on the logo element. not sure what else to say, ive never used their themes before, but since you payed for it, they are obligated to provide you support :p send them a request for help if you have to.

edit:
also the individual article pages seem to be broken

I feel really stupid today...

I was cussing over the headphone jack in my ZTE Blade. For whatever reason, I couldn't get the friggin' headphones to fit. It hurts my ears, because when it isn't connected properly the sound fades away or I can only hear on one side and it give me a migrain.

Was the socket damaged? Or were the earphones? I spent 10 bucks on earphones today to test my theory. Then I looked it up online.

It never occoured to me that the heaphone socket could be full of lint inside. I used a toothpick and scooped out two really big lint balls. I'm happy but I also feel really stupid.

The Haunted Mask is legitimately good. I remember when it premiered, it was shown at night as a lead-in for the series.

Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes is pretty scary, mainly because it's little people in heavy prosthetics at night with creepy voices.

I wish they rereleased the full series of books with original covers. I'd buy one a week. I'm on a kick right now reading books from my teens. There is this one that I can't remember the title to. It had a sweet cover, with a dragon attacking some people at a campsite, and the plot involved this girl who went undercover as a knight to kill a dragon. It had a really generic name, which is why its so hard to remember.

Ah, it wasn't a Goosebumps book, but it was released around the same time. I think I ordered it from a school book club. I loved those Scholastic book club flyers where you'd take the flyer home and beg your parents to order something - I was also a big fan of the Clue books:

You've brought back memories for me regarding Goosebumps' Knock off books series....Creepers?

What I found ironic that it was probably released before Goosebumps (it mentions the SNES at the beginning), or probably around the same time (the fad for Goosebumps here happened when the TV Series hit)...I still love Slappy the Dummy's mini series, but only ever watched the Third one in full. There was that other one with the Masks, was The Haunted Mask the one Barry mentioned the one I am thinking of? I am sure that had two books...

Either way, I wasn't into the books, but I WAS into the TV series.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Barry the Nomad on November 19, 2013, 07:54:30 am
The Haunted Mask was a one hour premiere for the series, and I believe it aired at night on FOX (rare for FOX's kid's programming to be shown at night) on Halloween weekend. R.L. Stein appeared at the intro and ending, sort of like the Crypt Keeper, but he didn't appear in any other episodes after that (unless you count him in the opening credits, but I think that's an actor).

The episode itself was one of the more creepy episodes of the series, with a mask that grew onto the wearers face, and these creepy floating other masks. The whole series is on Netflix, The Haunted Mask is sorted out of order in "season 5" which is actually all the two parters bundled together.

---

There was a gross out parody series called "Gooflumps" that traded scares for boogers, farts, pee, and barf. I read one as a kid and it was really fucking weird. Like... I felt like I was reading fetish porn due to the gratuitous use of gross out gags. I guess it was meant to make kids laugh, but when a book is all about farts and barfing... I have to wonder if the author was just getting off on writing about that stuff.

Interesting! I think he was an actor, the one who pretended to be him on every other episode.

That episode was pretty scary if I remember correctly...I was around 8 or 9 when I watched it...definitely spooky considering the guy who has those masks stated that they were his OWN faces. :\

Never got to watch the second one.

Never seen a parody to Goosebumps quite that close, but then again stuff like that isn't all that popular in the UK (Sexual gags usually are. <_<).

I wish I knew the "other" scary book series I read, as it was really awesome when I read it, and wasn't like Goosebumps in some way...it went into some detail about the protagonists emotions of him passing out and stuff and entering this ghost like world.

Saw R.I.P.D last night on VOD.

Oh, boy... Now I understand why it was a a flop and died a quick death at the box office. The CG, for one. My God, I've seen movies with terrible CG but this one is the ultimate winner. The story is TV quality at best. This might have worked as a pilot to some new sci-fi show, comedy is bland. And Jeff Bridges never shuts up! I feel bad for Renolds, Green Lantern was flawed and he tried his best, but he didn't deserve this movie.

Haha, I think it's awesome too. The only issue with buying a ps4 right now is that it's gonna be extremely difficult to find one. They sell for about as much as an Xbox One on EBay..

try walmart's site and see if there is any in stores near you

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Playstation-4-Console-PS4/28802344

there is some stores near me that have it in stock, order it as pick up in store, that way you don't go there and find out its been sold.

edit: actually they dont offer in store pick up on PS4 it seems, i guess it would cause some conflict with how fast it seems to go, heh :P

There aren't any available at my local Walmart.. I checked Bestbuy as well and all they have are Xbox Ones. I really don't wanna opt for an Xbox One instead either, should I just wait?

I'd wait. You probably won't get one before Christmas, but stores will probably have them in stock again in January. Stock has been replenished 2 times since launch. Walmart said that their last stock replenishment was their biggest shipment of PS4's yet. So, Sony seems to be pumping them out fast as they can.

Gotta get the PS4, it's HOT HOT HOT!

You'll know when walmart has more in stock, they've been making announcements ahead of time letting people there is going to be more in stock.

You're probably right dude, I think I'm gonna wait. The downsides to getting an Xbox is that I don't have live anymore and they don't offer free games from the get go. With Sony, I have a Plus subscription that offers free games for download already. Is there any way I can add free ps4 games to my download list without having the console yet?

So... I sorta just bought an Xbox One online.. I seriously wouldve bought a PS4 if they were available right now. Sony shoulve done a better job with their supply, especially  considering how hyped the console was after E3. Either way im still gonna buy a PS4 as well, my bonus was bigger than expected so i can definitely  afford both. My wife was also pretty encouraging about buy a One, so i couldn't  pass down the opportunity, haha.

Awesome, enjoy it. It's got good entertainment capabilities. But PS4 has the naughty dogs, and xbox one will never have that :) so do make sure you get a PS4 soon too!

Ah. Sorry you missed it!

Anyways, did you hook up your Xbox one yet? I've seen videos of other people using them, but curious to see how you are enjoying yours.

I got a friend who has both PS4 and One. 360 was his favorite console last gen, but he says so far he likes his PS4 far more then his Xbox One. He said PS4 feels like a gaming console while XBOX One feels like an entertainment box. Which is basically what each one is being advertised as, so I guess that means both MS and Sony had solid goals in mind of what they wanted and achieved those goals :)

No, I haven't yet. I bought it online and it's scheduled to arrive on Monday. My favorite console last gen was definitely the X360, but after the PS3 started gaining speed I started moving more towards their way. Games like Last of Us, Uncharted, and Beyond have shown me why I need to buy a PS4 at some point. I'm a huge Halo and Fable fan as well though.

I'll be sure to leave impressions once I get my One up and running.

sounds good!

when you do get it post about it in the xbox one topic in the gaming forum. We're kinda turning this topic into something it's not supposed be by keep talking about xbox one and such xD. Not saying it's anyones fault, its just a natural flow on conversation. but i'd like this topic to get back to it's original purpose and for xbox discussion to continue in the gaming forum.

That topic was getting a lot of attention with many people giving their own perspective, some arguing that the wife might be partially responsible for incident, others not caring much about the wife's alleged infidelilty and sayin' that the husband was a monster, others were stunned that some people seem to think crimes of passion are unheard of (none of these remarks were be unreasonable)

My comment was simply "Moral of the story: Don't Cheat on Your Husband / Spouse." (I took special care to make sure I wasn't making a gender specific comment).

My reply was among the early ones on December 3rd, 48h later I get a notification.

Not sure in what universe my comment would be deemed so unreasonable as to give me a temp ban, but like I mulled recentely... Don't know, don't understand, don't care.

i didn't get it severely luckily, no discoloration, just really sensitive and tingly. I can still feel them just fine. It's just annoying / hurts if i put them under hot water.

See, that's as cold as it'll probably ever get in Hawaii, barring some aberrant weather system. Once I experienced real Winter on the East Coast, I actually grew to enjoy the cold. But I don't think I put up with stuff as bad as what's going on now. And luckily, I didn't have a car then, as I was in college. So I didn't have to put up with the real bad shit that happens like getting your car unstuck, bad roads, etc.

I hate myself right now. feel 100% worthless and crap and feel like I can't do anything. Just wanna disappear and take myself out the world, but I can't do that... gotta stay strong and keep going.. hard as it may seem at times...

Don't give in! You've done a lot. More than I have, I am sure.

Thanks :) I'm 100% sure you've gone through much rougher stuff than I have. I'm just a bit pathetic I guess... but on the bright side classes have been cancelled for tomorrow, so no having to walk to the busstop tomorrow at 6:30am in -50 degree F windchills. Thank god. lol. That's not the reason I'm feeling down, but knowing I don't have to put up with that certainly brightens my mood a bit.

I'm not trying to say that you're pathetic or anything like that, nor am i saying that your issues are minute when compared to mine. Everyone's got their fair share of issues, haha. If you ever need someone to chat with or anything dude, just pm me or send me a message on PSN.

Thanks for the kind words, but don't put yourself down like that. There is always time to do things you feel you need to do :) Speaking of things I need to do, I need to invest some serious time into working with Zurb Foundation Framework today.

Yeah, you usually get what you pay for when it comes to electronics. Better luck next time, I guess. Even the famous Nexus 7 is known for having lots of random issues with build quality and stuff. That's the cost of a lower price.

I'm trying not to have any expectations for our US Men's Hockey team just so I'm not disappointed if we don't win gold. There's a slim chance of us winning gold, but Canada is definitely stacked and Russia has home ice so that helps me a lot.

Jonathan Quick our LA Kings net under is starting in net for Team USA tomorrow, so it's a really big deal for me. I requested the day off tomorrow a month ago so I can watch our first game against Slovakia at 4:30am pacific, can't wait!

Well our team is very similar to our team from Vancouver and we didn't manage to win then.. Id just rather not say, I don't want to be jinxed. Team Canada is easily the favorite to win this year and have the best roster by far. We just have to believe in Miracles like we did in 1980.

Many of the criticts said that it was a good game, but for some reason I am not convinced. It's an online multiplayer only-game with Call of Duty-esque perks and whatnot. I'm sure it's good, but the near perfect scores this game is getting are just not convincing.

Let's try to not call other members of the SEGA community names or insult them behind their backs. It's not a nice thing to do. You're free to have your opinion about someone of course, but let's keep those opinions off SEGAbits. You're just stirring the hornets nest if people you talk about ever see the posts you have made.

Thank you :)

@Max and George: Fair enough. It does look interesting from what I watched the Trailers once, but I'm not really big into online Multi-player.

Regarding Cochrane, I think he can be rude sometimes when you do have a legit problem with another member (or posts they do), but otherwise I guess he's seen as a strict moderator compared to other places, given that some people troll there but if you call someone a troll, you get warned.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread

I'll be honest, the times I ran into his 'bad side' was my fault. I disobeyed the rules and saw what I could get away with on the SEGA Forums. I would come back, he would ignore it, but then ban you for almost anything (link you posted had a curse word? BAN!).

It is what it is, what I hear is that SEGA doesn't really care as a company about the forums as much and honestly I can see why. I've met some great people on there and was great to talk to people but about 90% of the conversations there are about other things and not SEGA related.

He's just constantly making fun of people's punctuation and poking fun at other stuff. There's something about how he talks to people that gives me this "better than everyone" type mentality. I just hate when people are that disrespectful and obnoxious.

Shadi i'm sorry for posting up something like that cause i know you and Fluffy are pals. Cochrane is  a dick though. It's people like him that make me want to stop going to Sega boards all together and i've been a member for 8 years.

I personally find Lumines more like that, he's pretty cruel on members who tend to speak their opinion.

Had a few arguments with Fluffy when I was new at the forums, but I think he's all right these days.

Still, I'll defend myself if I believe I wasn't in the wrong!

It gets good traffic. The problem is there are too much high-school level antics and this means you can get better discussions elsewhere. I don't have much experience with the mods except for cochrane locking one of my threads when I tried to promote the OPRainfall poll in the relevant subsections (VC, Yakuza, etc.). I rather it exist if only for the fact that sometimes SEGA people will note things you say. Or even rare opportunities showing up like Sam Mullen answering several questions over (http://forums.sega.com/showthread.php?507849-Please-welcome-Nullpointer-to-the-Miku-forums!) on the Project DIVA section, and Aaron Webber asking people about which conventions he visits (which, he does similar sorts of things every so often on Twitter too, but perhaps this medium was more conducive to what he wanted or is more readable.) Of course, there was also the time period where S0L haunted the place for SASRT.

There is always something more epic about DC heroes compared to Marvel for me. Now if Warner Bros could ... get their shit done right.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: max_cady on April 24, 2014, 03:39:01 pm
I've always been bothered by that but... After digging a little deeper I figured out that it's not easy for Warner Brothers to fast track a DC Universe slate of films.

You see Marvel Studios was created as a seperate entity so they could shop around with other studios be it Disney, Paramount or whatever.

DC belongs to one single movie studio and as such they are limited by default. Because the brass has to deal with a variety of projects, not just superhero movies and the studio's budget can only be allocated to so many projects.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: George on April 24, 2014, 05:38:07 pm
Yeah, but its not even that though, like Green Lantern was an easy movie. Totally fucked it up. Man of Steel pissed a lot of people off and the script obviously wasn't the best. Some stuff totally didn't make sense. Was it entertaining? Yes, of course.

Its strange that DC Animated movies are better done then the live action stuff with 15x the budget.

Yes, absolutely. Only 4 teams in NHL history have come back from being down 3 games in a best of 7 series to win it.

The only teams that have done it are below:

Toronto Maple Leafs came back and beat Detroit Red Wings in 1942
New York Islanders came back and beat Pittsburgh Penguins in 1975
Philadelphia Flyers came back and beat Boston Bruins in 2010

And now

Los Angeles Kings came back and beat San Jose Sharks in 2014.. Incredible.

Man loses over $2,600 trying to win an 720. Left with bannana with Dreadlocks, and matching Tam.

You know what, it was funny for me, okay. I am not really getting anything out of "mainstream" or "current events", and in terms of the "Game world", it is just hilarious. I haven't read anything about this, and just decided to do a random search.

If I haven't seen it, then it is news to me. Like take the law, unbeknown we are allowing people to bann all sorts of things that are harmless to the commoner/saint. By this I mean to say the enthusiastic, of people as a whole in the nation ( or any nation ), is damaged.

If feminists, non-heterosexuals, and immigrants from various nations, can be organized, then why can't we, as a centralized consumer force? Materialistic goods is not something that is respectable, unless it is a Noah's super intergalactic ark??? Is that the world we are living in.

Instead we are decentralized, and de-motivated as a group. What we see is the fall out of that decentralization, or dismemberment. Like going to an convention, we do not see what people really think, as videogames, we see what the newspaper sees, and within that is what we really feel. Then again, we might not open up, because of those invisible barriers that have been raised.

Got two things on my mind right now:

I can look past the videogame-y name it has, but the premise doesn't seem to appealing to me. I am much more interested in Maleficent than this one;

- Once again, game studios gave a middle finger to the press by announcing all their big titles a week before E3.

Just disappointed with it. I guess it doesn't help that this awesome Phantasy Star Nova trailer came out the same day SEGA releases their horrible E3 line up. I'm over it now though. Just.. there's games I'd love in English... like Puyo Tetris, PSO2, Yakuza, Phantasy Star Nova... etc. Atleast we get Project Diva 2nd! I definitely look forward to that game. I'm over it now though, can't let it keep me angry. It's just videogames after all.

I understand what you are saying. It is sad because SEGA have the potencial to great things if SEGA west and Japan could be united in games, it is like they are having a cold war or something XD.
But i believe this is something with all the companies. Like the whole industry is having this cold war and companies like Capcom, SEGA, Bandai-Namco, ETC have tons of problems bringing games here and companies like Ubisoft, EA, Activision have a very hard fight with games made in Japan in Japan.

Well, I think at least 1 IP from Japan is here. I think they try to make some confidence with the Hatsune Miku series. If the sequel sells well like the first (Sega said that the first game has sold very well), I think is the perfect opportunity to make some good feedback (For example: Telling to Sega this:"Hey I see that the Hatsune Miku Series sells well in the West, so maybe you can try bringing another IP with the same treatment like that franchise. I will support it :) .)


The trick in here is saying "another IP", not saying "Yakuza,Phantasy Star, Etc." because they REALLY KNOW what we want. They don't need to figure it out (That forbidden questions joke in the Momocon Interview is an answer to that.).


So, If this happens, please, do it. We can make it happen if we are lucky. Use "the lucky hit" wisely :)

I've begun to just loathe E3 was a whole. So I'm on team "I don't care".

I've seen most of the major announcements happening way before E3, so obviously what announced for their line-up was going to effectively be about stuff they had announced a few weeks anyway.

The only surprise was the Hatsune Miku game that seems to have become the new Yakuza-esque title or the closest to.

Tired, headache, feel depressed. But hey, E3 is tomorrow, starting off with Microsoft! Not excited for anything SEGA related, i already know what Project Diva F 2nd is. No need to be excited to see it at E3 even if I am looking forward to the game.

To hell with the fem-nazi regime. Don't give them any inch just to hell with them, they are inhuman, and make it impossible for normal men to live. Seriously, any woman who calls themselves a feminist and have no reason for it.....do not deserve to be apart of that movement.

Also phuck that big-lipped writer who bashed Street Fighter II. I don't care if he/she/it has big-lips, I mean to say, that the damn person had to spout utter bs about the worlds most beloved series. I hate mothers, who write garbage.

I dunno, but she has a 'Facebook page' about her: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lauren-Formiller/132065816856333

(before I get called creepy, all I did was right click that image and put 'google image' lol)

I guess she gets her images used online lots by scammers or something.

A lot of online game retailers are starting to get a little dick-ish.

Zavvi has suddenly decided that they don't ship to Portugal anymore, but they still send me ads with the latest sales.

TheHut.com cancelled my order because they were "out of stock".

CD-Wow delayed my pre-order for nearly three weeks and it's still a no-show on my doorstep.

And Amazon.co.uk no longer has free shipping.

The list of online retailers is shrinking fast.

Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Sharky on July 02, 2014, 08:21:17 pm
Real-talk.

Well, I just had the final conversation with the girl who was once my girlfriend for 8 years. We had broken up before Christmas 2012, long story short we wanted different things, she wanted to move away to study and she did. We broke up, she found someone else and moved on.

For the good of my soul I deleted her from facebook and removed her from my life as much as I could bare too. 2013 was the hardest year of my life bar none. Felt like I'd lost my best friend, the person I loved and the entire future I had envisioned. It really sucked all the colour out of the world... Que depression, anxiety, panic attacks and self imposed solitude for a good 6 months.

Eventually, in Spring 2014 when I felt human again I added her on facebook, like I told her I would when I was ready, we greeted each other and spoke formally once every couple of months just "hello's" and "hey do you remember's" nothing close and that's the way I wanted it. At this point I no longer loved her and I was semi-happy again.

Fast forward to recently, she sent me a message saying that facebook is proving too much of a distraction and she had chosen to close it down and asked did I want to go through her old albums and save old photos. Which we did together today for 2 hours while chatting, catching up and remembering the past. Que the nostalgia bomb... 8 years of memories I had not dared look at for the past year and a half...

Once we saved what we wanted, we said our goodbyes and wished each other well in the future. It felt like a real goodbye, some kind of closure on that era of my life... With a feeling of nostalgia, relief, happiness and peace.. But also sadness, emptiness, loneliness.... And tbh some hungriness... I closed my laptop, went out onto my porch and cried like a bitch, while eating a block of cheddar.

Also this is the reason I have been absent from Segabits... I don't know how I feel, but cheese is slowly filling the hole.

Depression and anxiety suck, a lot. It's not fun to deal with those feelings.

Although I gotta say you mostly seemed fine on facebook, but the fact that you were gone from SEGAbits so long did seem to suggest that there was something going on, especially being the big SEGA fan you are.

Anyways, welcome back! I don't have much more to say on the matter. Just happy for you that you are doing better.

Life is frustrating

During all of my childhood I was really silent, and still am most of the time.

I know online I probably seem like a really outgoing and nice person.. but if you ever dealt with me in person it'd be a much different experience. I'm pretty quiet, I can handle small talk and communicate effectively when talking about work related matters, but, when something turns into a personal conversation i start feeling quite awkward.

I've started playing Tales of Xillia 2 and that main character is so silent, made me think of myself.

Just depressing. I guess it's just a matter of learning from your mistakes and doing better next time in regards to socializing with people. Feel a bit defeated and depressed at the moment.

Anyways. I'm probably saying too much, but I had to let out my feelings somewhere. Been bothering me so much recently.

I wouldn't get too down on it dude. You can definitely change that if you'd like. When i was younger, i had the same problem. Growing up with 5 brothers and 1 sister, i always seemed to fall into the shadows of my siblings, mainly because they're all older than me. I was always the very quiet one, didn't seem to care for socializing with others, unless they were people i already knew, cousins, some friends, etc. I, like you, had no problem socializing online, it felt like a completely different world for me, and made it quiet easy to speak my mind. It wasn't that i couldn't carry out a conversation, it's just that i didn't really care to.

It wasn't until about 18 when i got my first retail gig. That pretty much forced me to speak to strangers on a daily basis. I worked there for almost 5 years, so that constant communication allowed me to be a more open person. That pretty much set me on a path for new things. I met my wife in College, got married, had a kid, and have a pretty good job. Mostly because i taught myself to carry out random conversations, and fake interest in what people are talking about.

One of my brothers has had this issue as well, just on a bigger scale. He was consistently sheltered from a lot of things by my parents, so now he's having an issue with relationships. He's got a great job, great work ethic, but no social skills. While, i have taught myself to bs conversations, he hasn't, and it's been difficult for him to date anyone. I mean, he's still a virgin at 28 years of age, so that gives you an idea as to what i'm referring to. I've tried to get him to speak a bit more, but it's a constant struggle. Like i told him, he just needs to go out more. Leave his one bedroom apartment, and meet people. The only way you're going to lose this hermit habit, is by forcing yourself to.

Remember when we took those MBTI Tests and you were confused as to my INTJ. That's pretty much what i am, but i don't come off that way. Just think about that.

With that said, i think you'll be fine dude, just keep your head up.

Thank you. You are right. Just gotta keep my head up and keep going. I edited my post because I decided it was too much info. On the bright side, I got an email today saying I've been accepted for an interview next week. So, fingers crossed!

It is indeed true that you have to keep going and face your fears. I've improved a lot over the last few years because I've been facing my fears. I still feel like I have quite a ways to go though in terms of social interaction.

See, good things happen, you just have to keep a positive outlook on life. Things will work out, just keep your working at it.

I do want to apologize if i've offended anyone by saying that my bro is a 28 year old virgin. Just so we're clear, there's nothing wrong with that, and the only reason i brought it up, is because it really bothers my bro.

Also, if you ever need anyone to chat with, send me a PM.

I guess you don't know what the other people that were interviewed were like though. The person who can sell themselves the best is the one that's going to get chosen. That's just how our society works. I'll have to continue practicing my social skills.

USB 2.0 is slow and doesnt have enough power through its cable to power an HDD. Which is why you have to use a Y cable on the Wii U with an HDD. This is why XBOX One uses USB 3.0, to keep things simple.

I took my driving test this year and passed on a Manual first go. I'm European.
From what I hear, taking a test using Manual in the US is pointless anyway since there is no restriction from using Manual after passing in Automatic. Here if you pass in Automatic you cannot drive Manual.

Ive only once driven an Automatic and in my opinion it really takes the fun out of driving. Yes it is much easier when you are learning, but once you have got the hang of a Manual there is a certain thrill in the extra control. Slapping that gearstick around feels really satisfying.

Yeah, I passed in automatic when I was 18 and now drive a manual car, so you can do either. The only difference in licenses is you need to get a motorcycle license If you want to drive one here. I don't mind stick, but every once in a while I want to be lazy and drive auto.

Will - yeah, I sort of get why it doesn't work, but it sucks cause i definitely don't need 1tb on my Wii u. I never buy games in their e shop cause there's nothing of interest for me in there. On live; however, i buy a ton of games.

Back in college. Might have to take out a loan because I want to take some extra curriculum at least for this term. Still not decided on term but otherwise. Computer programming, theater, or television. IDK because their are so many choices. I know their are more things I could be doing. Like Boating, Cartooning, animation, or even teaching. I just need a small job to feed my vet.
I keep hearing about bioligy. Eitherway I am taking one of those classes ( as it is forced on us ). In Bio I remember my teachers making vodka with the ingredients. Fun things to do. The best thing about college is realizing. Hey you never know.

Just bumpdated my little project ( website ) see all the sheer madness that flow from my hands. Tell me what you think about my "Affinity Sorrow" mock up. I had made it small to fit on a TV; but I just decided to recolor the original so people can see how huge it was originally. That was before they finished the game....are they still working on it????

So tempted to get a WiiU this weekend from Ninty Refurbished. Basically it's going to be a Platinum box, maybe with some other Ninty exclusives thrown in.


I can afford it, but I feel like I don't really NEED it. It'll be about $330 including everything to get the console + Mario Kart 8 and Wonderful 101. Not a bad deal but again... I'm just being stingy.


Not to mention I have so many games on PC I could be playing...


Maybe I'll just splurge...




Life is obviously good for me right now if this is what's occupying my mind.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: RegalSin on September 05, 2014, 02:30:22 pm
Dude just hold out until the WiiU hits $50 dollars. Only reason to get one is for the online play via the "official Wii/WiiU method" or any DLC ( which I could assume could be saved or backed up ).

Also if you folks haven't seen it please checkout my artworks I uploaded. I am just coloring all my black and white ( maybe I will get around to some design work as well ). I will update it from time to time. Gotta get my portfollio up and running might update to day.


Anyhows...... back to college. Nothing but lame gay core classes. This means classes that have no forfillment but to take up space and fund the college. To make things worst I am not an honours ( however that is spelled ) student. So I can't take any of the auwsome classes like " Art of the world" Art of the current location" or "Art of the changing times". Or "Life and death".  More cores but they call them honors and I am too lazy to go to the department leader and change switch my class.
More crappy cores basically. A whole nest egg of cores. I have this one class in stage making that I enjoy. I am only sticking inside of it; for the fun of the hard labor. I get to ride the "Orchestra pit/decending elevator" however.

Speaking of my doctor hand writing ( chicken scratch ); I was in class and this girl needed notes. Since she can't speak the language. She took one look at my writing and turned away. If I have the energy I might just try to impress her with all the notes.

So basically it is core, writing talking, and more writing talking, with one Science ( which I do not need but because it is the new thing now; I have to take that no matter what.

So right now I am safe I guess. Because I am only taking core classes. So I have to find out if I can transfer with them to another college that suites my needs. However .................................................

So I checked out the anime/sci-fi club..........Boy that was a nightmare.

They practically took over the entire club area; leaving the other clubs to go inside. They rented out the table and have like four tv's in total. It is like my room but it is 10,000 Anime/Sci-fi stuff.

However most of the people are zoned out. They were playing this card game with "Space Police" type characters. Some sorta Japanese card game ( Basically MAgica the gathering/War of the gems but a bunch of Anime/Blue-Seed characters type thing ). I was talking to people here and their. One dude about girls, another about making games, of course a huge a percentile of them was CS majors.

Speaking of CS the college basically divided it into three portions.

Multimedia CS = Game design/Graphic design
CS = programming ( more math oriented )
Business CS = IT

However the program I signed up for also says IT in the Degree. So I guess it is okay??? I want over qualification. I know A++ ( Operating systems class?? ) is one of them, but either way I was hearing I would have to take Linear Algebra ( Or was it Linear Calculus as well as satistics ) at some point.

That is why CS major sucks. To make things even suckier. at Some point I have to take an WI class. AKA writing intensive. ZOMGSh...................................

To make things even more horrible or wonderful their is not too many classes I can choose from to filter the above classes. Meaning Next term ( Spring ). I migh have to deal with the horror of taking an ( Dear I say it....

Math course with Writing Intensive ( dum dahh dahhhhh )......

I am so scared.

....................

To make things worst a person have to learn all these things by themselves. Meaning all they really preach is the lowest level of computing and programming. Everything else is up to the learner.
Eitherway on the outside I have to get my Apple/Windows Qualification. Again the plan is for me to be useful in an game company as well as be able to do IT work. Somebody has to pass away, and I want to be that person to take their jobs ( and live forever.....yahhh me!!!! ).

Sad part is that I took Chinese 1 and 2 already. So I can't take Japonese. However I am sure they have clubs and groups for that. Back then Chinese was super popular and stuff but now it is Japanese and even Korean. I wonder if they have any fukanese on campus. Their is Arabic, Bengali, and even Creal ( French dialect of Haiti ). I think.........yeahh

Try and find somebody to talk Chinese with.....................They seemed to be impress with me attempting to reading/writing Chinese for some reason. That was back at my old school ( says the girlie girl magic school bus ) when we had tons of Chinese types all over the place. I miss that Alienation.

So many confused yuppies and foreigners on campus. I wish I was a yuppie too. Instead I am like a vampire inside an orchid patch... I vant to suck the blood.....

Seriously if I won the lottery or some miracle ( like I marry a working woman who does not mind me being an house husband ). I would go back to school for animation right now.

I am real tired. Just got done tying loose ends. Gotta find the lease ( the thing you sign for your apartment ). I was also playing some basketball a bit. Shooting hoops. Since the weight gym was closed. Have not done in an long time.

Gotta go back on my Remon.. diet. Last time I went from like 220 to like 130. That was like one year or six months of that dieting. Keep trying to maintain it. Then I got locked inside of a room with a diabetic who keeps inviting me to eat.

Speaking of current thoughts. I really wish neo-feminist would stay the hell out of videogames. They are just a bunch of attention seeking college majors; who try to get as much attention so they can feel they are making a difference ( when it is negative ).

THERE IS NO REAL WORK GETTING DONE.

To make things worst the people who attempt to make any contact with these monsters are not college trained. Nore they are not taking their treat seriously. To make things worst people do not understand why the "womanists" ( who are composed of Lesbians as well ). The "others" never responds and if they do; they are lying.

It is like a person who

WHY I MENTION THIS. Between the big-lipped ( Meaning bruised lipped or runs one mouth the wrong way ) writer who apparently is seeking attention after writing negatively about the most greatest game since life. Their are sooo many people attacking or abusing the consumer-race of videogame players. They just want attention so much and it is negative attention never really giving or generating any information at all.

It is so depressing because if this was the east nobody would care at all about these things. I mean ZOMGSH this and that. It is stupid and a waste of time; when we could be creating things. It is like we will never do greatness at all.

Back in college when I was making minimum-wage. Their was this special area where they hold seminars. Anybody can rent it out and do whatever they want their. We could even hold an convention as well. This lady ( who seems to have a book in the Opera magazine from my memory ) was giving speeches. At the end a woman broke down ( like if it was a church ) crying about her problems.

I am college trained and have taken etc course in that subject. Apparently they are not our friends. They just want attention without anything positive to give at all.

Also I am looking for a device to display my images. trail and error I guess. I  already know what program I will be using but the device has to run it ( and not take snapshots of my files ).

Just cancelled my NHL 15 preorder. In case you guys haven't heard, this is why:

Quote
No GM Connected
No Online Team Play
No EA Sports Hockey League
No EA Sports Arena
No Online Shootouts
No Live the Life
No Be A Legend
No Winter Classic
No tournaments or Battle for the Cup
No season mode (you can only play seasons in Be A GM, which is limited to NHL teams)
No NHL 94 Anniversary mode
No custom music support
No create-a-play designer
Cannot customize each team's AI
No create-a-team
No way to edit individual players
Practice mode is now limited to one skater vs an AI goalie

Serious bs, EA made a statement about fixing some of these issues within the next two months. What i don't understand is why they would release the game now, rather than fix the issues first? I tried the game through EA Access and that pretty much showed me the game was shit. Lame move by them if they planned to get some excitement out of letting us play early, i'm sure plenty of others cancelled now.

Feminism as we generally understand it has less of a presence/isn't as developed of a movement in Japan, in particular. In any case it's pretty ridiculous to think that things done in the name of feminism are impeding greatness in video games or even creativity at all. Contrary to the general noise surrounding the subject gamers who either explicitly identify as feminist or are sympathetic to feminism are a minority, compared to people who aren't invested in social issues as they relate to gaming (majority) or represent the side opposite feminists or various social justice things (another minority). It maintains its mindshare because video gaming is becoming more of a mainstream/accepted hobby and the concept of being able to appeal/be sensitive to more audiences (by marketing or by what gets made) is of note to some companies. "Our game is LGBTQ positive", "this is sexist", "the lead protagonist is an independent female," etc. That is marketable to some people. Games sometimes recycle tropes to appeal to conventional tastes and easier money - ranging from the socially non-insidious (spiky haired hero with a sword defeats bad guy with power of friendship) to bs like "women are harder to animate" and such

A+ dude, A+

---

As for hashtag gamergate, though I actually support a lot of the things she stands for I've soured on her writing over time. It started with this piece she wrote on Sonic the Hedgehog for The Guardian that was pretty poorly handled. This is another one of those things - it's something that's poorly messaged so it was too easy to take issue with the concept of "gamer" being an outdated term (I don't really use it myself because I think it's too broad, but w/e) and then after that you have the customary application of identity politics. Yes I agree that video games and the industry are often easier to enjoy for straight white dudes, and that the sense of persecution/ostracizing felt as a gamer is sometimes more imagined than real (plus the whole nerd to hero thing is so played, just look at Silicon Valley). I even agree with the general idea that you can't truly separate gaming from social issues or the views of a group

and I do think the meaning of objectivity in gaming media is looking its consensus definition, at least in part because sometimes "objectivity" has to serve some goal by the person defining it. Objectivity doesn't always lead to one opinion; on a separate note, sometimes gamers have a skewed definition of what objectivity is, for example a hypothetical "Mass Effect is objectively the best game of 20XX" statement. I can't turn down journalistic integrity - it's just not always the best place for identity politics when critiquing authors/outlets. Polygon does write something good once in a while, even if they're shuttering most of their long form pieces. It's one thing to be suspicious of consistent positive promotion of Microsoft games. And like, I just cannot weigh feminism and misogyny equally. I'm not going to get with a movement that presupposes the devaluation of a gender for no reason. Hate misogynist jokes also.

her piece reads like a rallying point but they don't need a rallying point. Social justice sympathizers however small are pretty mobilized already. We don't need polemic right now. The worst part of misogynist groups are the Anita Sarkeesian harasser types. Now you have this stupid thing where you have people showing some people saying that these people are worse than Hitler, and the other side showing that the people on other group are worse than Hitler. Whatever. A feminist teacher has attacked a kid once, it was on the news a couple of weeks ago. I feel sorry for the kid, feminism is not devalued as a school of thought because of that.

regardless I do take away from this a reinforcement of the idea that gaming media, like commercial media  at large, easily converges to "infotainment" like 25 Reasons Mass Effect is lol or signaling to tastes you're already interested in, as Eric Kain wrote about. What's editorial and what isn't and when it's there and when it isn't is more a product of design.

Can someone explain to me what happened after Zoe Quinn cheated on her boyfriend and slept with Five Guys(TM)? As I said that's as far as I got before I lost interest, just after seeing people repeatedly mention an article about 'Gamers are dead' or something like that.

Is there some movement happening now?

A breakdown of the events and reaction;

- Over the past year or so, gaming publications have been telling fans of games like Killer is Dead, Dragon Crown etc that their games are terrible for the sexual objectification of women. One even labels them as paedophiles if you happen to like the sorceress in Dragon's Crown.
- A developer's angry ex-boyfriend claimed she had close ties with several individuals who in turn helped her get favourable treatment for her game. He released countless chatlogs and images that backed up his claims.
- Said discussion of these accusations was suppressed at NeoGAF, Reedit etc and people were calling conspiracy. It didn't help that GAF's admin decided to make example of some of the users who contacted him about it by parading around their emails publicly.
- Soon after this went live, people were up in arms that game reporters were reporting on their indie friends instead of disclosing that they were actually friends.
- Around the same sort of time, a bunch of articles about gamers being dead etc came out (10 or so) that enraged people even more.
- The hashtag #gamergate was born on twitter and people have been spamming it ever since.
- Kotaku came out and said that their reporter was infact in a relationship with a developer but made it clear he got into a relationship a day or two after posting the article.
- Kotaku and the Escapist updated their ethics policy to satisfy their readership.
- The other writers, whatever possessed them, decided it was a good idea to try and fan the flame, in kind people in 4chan and Reedit decided to counteract.
- Now both sides have lost it and drawing up the best cherry picked quotes from either side, one trying to paint the other as "misogynist, radical woman hating monsters" and the other as "hypocritical online bullies attacking nerds"

Hope that summaries it. I personally think these journalists have not helped the situation by lacking tact in their approach and then crying foul at the other side.

Man, what a drama :/
I have many things to say but I can resume in one phrase: They sought it, both sides.
One, the developers and the journalist because they've think that noone can stop all the infotainment and hate/paid articles for promotion for their sites and being aggresive all the time.
The other, both "raid the hate forums" and stupid people that use the term gamer for whatever they want to say without any knowledge in gaming media whatsoever.
That admin of Neogaf is stupid. When he say that their site doesn't have any permission for being recognize as an official gaming press entity but Sonic "furry people"fan sites have that and they don't deserve it, it reveals his true colors.
Just ironic as the karma is.

I agree with Nirmugen. The indie developers have been asking for attention and they love it. They also love showing all the comments troll make and pretending its the whole #GamerGate movement, while the other side does the same thing but say its all the 'feminist'. Really just hate cycling more hate, really unfocusing on what people should really be talking about.

Journalist like Kotaku and such being scumbags, like always, just for a quick buck and busting a nut. Its sick.

Kotaku and Polygon really make themselves a disaster. Their Sonic's opinions are the most irrational and corrupted articles that i've never read. Naka doesn't know why they make Sonic?!? That wasn't even funny, only helps to destroy their credibility and trust for being a professional site.

It's just kotaku being kotaku. Seems like they like reporting more on tabloid gaming news than actual gaming news. Probably run by a bunch of frat boys that wanted to start a site.

Either way, I'm done with gamergate crap, sick of these so called gamers going back with journalist about bs in the industry.

Soooooo...  Today I decided to join a bunch of clubs ( just for the fun of things ). I also took up teather shop. However one of the days landed on my computer programming II class ( Advance C++ programming ). The professor a smelly farce of a man ( looks like super-mario if he was alive and aged accordingly to eating only Pizza. In fact he looks like Robotnik if he was a real person. Dear god....) said "If you plan on missing three weeks of the course you might as well drop the class. However I am only doing the teather thing just to see how it is going along. That will be inside the month of October. Christian Club looks nice. Got some straight up Christian punn. Anime club and Sci-fi is what you expect. A bunch of us ( back-log my post in this thread ).

Asides for that; I read the wrong chapter so I was unable to answer questions in the classroom. I have this reading/writing class and the class was shot today because not too many people did the reading/writing. I read/wrote the wrong section.

Tomorrow is another glorious day of Theater shop, more writing/reading/core, and Theater classroom. They it is back to vonderful C++ with the Dwarve from FFIV.

Seriously Doctor Robotnik/That slimy dude from Akira/Snatcher/....is my Comp teacher for this term.

I do agree with him that the feminist/SJW gamer thing recently has been fucking bizarre and kind of hilarious.

It is probably the greatest thing to occur. Finally we can abandon the lameness of "Indie-gaming" and get it on with some auswome "B-girls" and "B-gaming" jawsomness. Maybe we can get our PS2 days booth babes back. You know when they had game shows with adult shows in the next hall.
Could I buy that x-box with your xxx-box.....Just like in the car shows.

Can someone explain to me what happened after Zoe Quinn cheated on her boyfriend and slept with Five Guys(TM)?

Hopefully a great song will come out of it. Maybe a webcam with her and her stuffed animals?? IDK but I am so happy she started this "Depression Quest". So far it is making me loose my depression. Maybe a center-fold or Playboy or hussler issue. IDK but thank god for powerpuff girls.

Back on topic. Remember your fellow men. Remember your fore-fathers. Abe Lincoln had twenty kids and only two survived. Just because we have medical-miracle science does not mean a dude should give birth to children and call that equality.

Wisdom.


Also thanks for the summary Aki-at, I didn't realise there was a spate of articles afterwards that kicked things off. I just think it's hilarious to see repeatedly juked statistics like '50% of gamers are WOMEN! Why are there not more women protagonists!?' etc and not just Women but every other minority in existence (although calling women a minority is probably incorrect).

Fact is games are creative works, people should be able to create whatever they want according to their vision. I don't think that shoe-horning in things to games because of pressure from outside groups is going to benefit anyone in the long run. Assassin's Creed doesn't have female protagonists? Because that's how they wanted to make the fucking game.

Lawrence of Arabia is probably the greatest film ever made and has no female speaking roles. Would that really be improved if they included a black female in the movie in the name of equality? Of course not.

I have to share the same sentiments Mang, infact opinions like this bother me greatly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqVpD31LAfs

Content makers should be allowed to make whatever they want irregardless of what people want them to make, I'm always of the opinion if you want to change or bring that type of content on the market place you should try and force the change yourself through your own means as content makers or businesses are not entitled to change their games.

Working on a game myself, I wouldn't like being told I should make this or that. I want to make what I want to make and I dislike how people are trying to both shame people for enjoying games like Dragon's Crown and it's producers (For what it is worth, I dislike Dragon's Crown because of it's artstyle but people in a free country are entitled to make, and enjoy, such games)

Even though I dislike titles like Gone Home, Heavy Rain etc (More narrative based than actual gameplay) I am fine with them existing, even though I dislike titles like Killer is Dead, Dragon's Crown (Art style, gameplay) again I am fine with them existing. Hopefully people will eventually realise that there is room for all types of games.

::Current mood:: Kinda upset after reading above post 

VideoGamerTV is a fag.....................That is it...........he is stupid and is a fag.....he has no penis ( which is what the primary term of fag is asides for being a "car without gas").. I would punch him out ( or at least tell him to fakk off ). Seriously that reviewer is a dickless Prick. I mean seriously I wish this guy would STFU. Uhmmm you know what.......no no this person is a loser for saying such things. I don't care. Below the belt; punchie.

Seriously this "person" is speaking bs. They are making some of the auwsomeness and greatest games right now. Now I am thinking. I regret selling my copy of "Killer 7" ( keep in mind I brought Killer 7 twice ). I mean Killer 7 was a fair start for them but seriously this review person needs to think ( what do I have between my legs and who am I defending  ???? ).

They are making great games out of the cake-hole. Games that I aspire to make and they are doing something. What is this guy doing?? Ruining the British language and image of the common wealth with his crude reviews. If Europe did not have enough problems already.

THE GAME ITSELF ARE BASICALLY WATERED DOWN. Also about giving girls money. In the far east giving a presents like clothing, gold, or even money is ten times better. It means a lot to them. This is the kind of things they do.

About observing women. Back in college.... Once upon a time I knew this girl who was Japanese. In Japan this is common for men to be "Hentai". It is so damn common it is natural. Picking up girls is what young men do. Knowing women is what men does. It is part of interaction of people. I am not saying this is every girl but for the most part people are like that. BOTTOM-LINE FLIRTING IS NORMAL. GIVING THINGS IS NORMAL. THAT IS WHAT MEN DO. WASTE TIME PAYING GIRLS ATTENTION FOR NO REASON AT ALL. It is better then getting a ticket from an officer.

This poser comes along and starts talking Feminist-garbage to videogame people who barely have a voice for themselves.

Keep in mind he is a man. Mens entertainment on the spectrum is sexploitation. The next kind of entertainment is "Talking to women" AKA flirting. If not then it is pornography. I am sorry to say this but this is true. I am inside of an ice-station and I am surrounded by dudes. What am I going to do??? Get comfy with them??? No I am going to break out something. Maybe my ero games.

For some people that is how life is.

To be continued...

About the word Creepy.........Yeah girls who are in-exprienced or who barely have an romantic life are like that. Basically as time goes along girls ( women in general in term of opposite sex ) becomes more and more against men. We have probably three or six generation of women who are barely want to have sex at all. As you go down the line it gets bigger and bigger. I see it all the time.

In-experienced women. Women who just barely talk to anybody and who barely have anything at all. Then to make things worst these women look really really good. They have "Tank-girl" torpedo's riding their chests, and look maneuverable. It is just sad you know.

I remember when I could be at an get together; associating with girls physically. I remember just walking up to women trying to kiss them or get something from them.

OOHH MYYY GOSHHH WHAT HAPPEND TO OUR GENDER.  I mean seriously the only reason I play
"Catherine" is because it is the closest thing to a sexploitive work. Again that is what it i meant to be young. It is part of growing up. It is part of life. Not just

Computer dating service  ( Facebook )
The Glu Glu room "Cherry 2000" ( typical night club )

Whatever happen to just meeting up with somebody at random and associating with them. I mean omgsh AIDS/HIV. omgsh saving one-self ( virginity wise /religion sense ). I mean omgsh racism. Or even omgsh broke-like-a-joke. So many fears to "separate the sexes" and make people apart. "They" ( whoever they are ) just petty much took the common interaction between two people( of the opposite sex ) and turned it into an catastrophe.

Then this dickless person comes along here and starts bitching about a game maker who trys to give everything like in the good days before Rated-G and "Carebears" rubbish.

Yeah I mean OMGSH OMGSH THIS GAME DOES NOT HAVE AN NON-HETEROSEXUAL MODE. In fact I double dare you ( whoever you are ) to go on youtube; rehash this morons video and complain ( why isn't their an non-heterosexual pick up mode in this game ). Come on. I dare you. I double dare you. You better do it before I do or else people will call you a poser. I garentee all these lame people will respond to that video. Yeah Yeah that is what is thought...... Omgsh the game does not feature an non-heterosexual mode. The travesty and heresy.

(http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/32600000/That-is-no-hershey-bar-alpha-and-omega-32618450-750-600.jpg)

Omgsh ( boo-hoo ) Omgsh ( old woman crying ) boo-hoo.... ( flower wilts in tears ).

How could they not have an non-heterosexul mode. Where I could probe a dude and if he catches me; he will punch me in the face. It goes on this  basically.

That is what this person is basically saying. In an nutshell of an argument. Again videogames have ratings on them. AGAIN VIDEOGAMES HAVE RATING SYSTEMS ON THEM. Garments like "swim-suits", "thongs" ( ex-swim suit ), and "granny panties" ( under garments that extra fancy ). is not the greatest thing in the world. Women run around in those "Leotards" all day long; even in the winter. Not a big deal and is not a bad thing at all.

So seriously the game itself is harmless....................

:: Now my original thought ::


Starbucks coffee is offering free tuition to go to college in Arizona. That is right you can go to Arizona to college for free all thanks to Starbucks. Checkout the deal folks. It is big news for coffee fans.

Speaking of paying of Tuition. If your an grade A student and feel you can teach in college. Various colleges are offering to pay off your tuition to work ( with pay ) as professors. However they will send you to various states ( which is the problem with most people ).


So for the wonderful month of October I will be doing a show making props and stuff on stage.

Good bye RegalSin. Having you around was...interesting, I suppose.

I have to share the same sentiments Mang, infact opinions like this bother me greatly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqVpD31LAfs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqVpD31LAfs)

Content makers should be allowed to make whatever they want irregardless of what people want them to make, I'm always of the opinion if you want to change or bring that type of content on the market place you should try and force the change yourself through your own means as content makers or businesses are not entitled to change their games.

Working on a game myself, I wouldn't like being told I should make this or that. I want to make what I want to make and I dislike how people are trying to both shame people for enjoying games like Dragon's Crown and it's producers (For what it is worth, I dislike Dragon's Crown because of it's artstyle but people in a free country are entitled to make, and enjoy, such games)

Even though I dislike titles like Gone Home, Heavy Rain etc (More narrative based than actual gameplay) I am fine with them existing, even though I dislike titles like Killer is Dead, Dragon's Crown (Art style, gameplay) again I am fine with them existing. Hopefully people will eventually realise that there is room for all types of games.


I don't usually like engaging in these types of discussion on message boards anymore...but given that one of the things I do on this site is write criticism of games, I feel like I should chime in on this real quick.

You're right, content makes should have the right to make whatever they want. And they (within reason) do. But just as the content maker has the right to make what they want, the consumer has the right to be critical however they want. They have a right to demand changes in the products being sold to them, they have a right to express disgust, and they have a right to say "you've crossed a line and this should mark the end of your career". Should content makers be forced to change their games to appease these criticisms? Of course not, but that's not even something on the table right now. Content makers are already entitled to make pretty much whatever they want so long as it doesn't involve murdering children or pornography (and the latter is actually a fairly popular genre of game in Japan, anyway). But consumers likewise have the right to attempt to force changes in these companies through criticism, boycotts and other legal avenues. Whether the company listens to these consumers is up to them.

If you don't like people telling you what to put in your game, you'd best hope you don't become too prominent a game maker because otherwise that's exactly what's going to start happening. Art is never released in a vacuum, and there are always going to be opinionated people out there dishing out criticism, often without regard to the amount of work that goes into the content they consume. I'm working on a comic book right now and I've been prepared for (and occasionally sought out) this kind of criticism for years. I'm hoping to have something to show for it sooner rather then later, and once I do I know there's a chance I might start getting a lot more of that.

That's great that you are fine with these games existing. Criticism is not really about "whether a game should exist or not" (though that is a question every critic ought to ask about a product at some point). Hell, even the guy in the video you posted doesn't have an issue with the EXISTENCE of Killer is Dead, just this particular part of the game. He finds this part of the game to be creepy and it makes him feel uncomfortable and he clearly thinks it is to this game's detriment, and as a consumer he has every right to not only say that, but claim that as far as he's concerned, Suda 51's career is dead. Frankly, I don't see what's so bad about that video. It seems perfectly well reasoned and calm, without any of the over-exaggeration or other bullshit these types of criticisms tend to be prone to. I've seen some feminist bloggers use far less evidence to say someone outright hates women or doesn't see them as people. XD

Finally, as nice a sentiment as something like "instead of criticizing, they should make their own product" is a cop out argument. The vast majority of critics and consumers lack the skill to make what they consume. As I know your well aware, making a game is hard work, and it's unrealistic to expect all of these critics who likely have other interests and time sinks to sink their time into learning how to make a game so that they can force change in the marketplace. Back in the mid 2000s I criticized the hell out of Sonic's poor games, but there was no way I was going to be able to make a Sonic game myself, not when I had other interests at the time. Should this preclude me from criticizing the game? Of course not. Likewise, I'd love to see more diversity in big triple A game protagonists in terms of both race, sex and gender. Obviously I can never make such a game myself, but I'll be damned if I don't complain about it when I feel it appropriate. I am a consumer, throwing money at these companies and spending time with their products, and if I feel like this thing I spent money on is lacking something I have every right to let them know.

At least, that's what I think you mean when you say "force change". It occurs to me that you could have also meant forcing change as consumers, not content makers. But then...that is EXACTLY what criticism does.

Video games are an art form, and art is criticized for more than just its technical merits (the skill of the brush strokes, the word play in poem, the arc of a character in a play). Art is also criticized in by how it portrays and interacts with a society's culture and values. This kind of criticism is not only expected, its necessary for video games to BE an art form.

Knuckles: Interesting post, and I agree that consumers have the right to not like or complain about a product or content, but I guess what I'm saying is that I hope developers don't start catering to what I feel is a small and vocal minority for these things. Especially as I also think that most of the arguments are completely inane and really feel more like chest-thumping and a self-serving rather than bettering anything in the medium.

But then that comes with what you expect the medium to be.

Deep progressive storylines with thoughtful and unique gameplay to further it into the artistic field or just pure entertainment, with emphasis on rewarding the player for mastering the system the developer intended for his/her audience?

I had initially saved this text while drafting a response to the discussions earlier about all the previous stuff about making games, zoe quinn and etc., and hadn't put it up because I got caught up doing other stuff while working on it. ignore if so desired, it doesn't require a response or debate but I figured I'd just put it up for posterity.

---

I don't often see people calling for games to flat out not exist. Criticizing an artistic direction as tasteless or offensive and desiring people to move away from that isn't the same thing. And besides, I think that the reasons for disliking a game for its craftsmanship or design, genre, etc. are different than noting that a certain aspect of one game, whether it's portrayal of a character or dialogue, can reflect and reinforce certain demographic trends and what's "popular" in society. there's a decent logic in saying that money moves with it. Just look at this NeoGAF thread for another example: "...but don't make them TOO black." (http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=893027) It's about the "soft whitening" of characters like Vanessa from Virtua Fighter and Jade from Mortal Kombat.

I don't think creativity is a divine force. Make no mistake I appreciate people who are creative, but it can be as much contingent and a reflection of one's tastes, favorite games and art, upbringing and environment as it is a function of willpower. I feel creativity is like personal taste in that sense, influenced by all those things, and not a fixed essence that is eternally true to one self. I don't really see why it's an issue when people criticize a game for being pandering or sexist. It can't be an issue just about content control, because gaming marketing and demographics already creates narratives for how to showcase characters and the presence of designing by committee is already known. Nathan Drake is a prime example of that. Also, project management sometimes demands the cutting of content. I just think it's overestimated, the ease and virtue/merit of maintaining something true to the self or one's vision - or at least, it's not always clear. I don't see an author's absolute control over creative production as an absolute good.

Sure, I don't think anything that shows off a woman with little clothing is sexist - I don't think Morrigan Aensland is sexist, and feminism has a history of believing a women defining her sexuality can be a means to empowerment. But the audience for games with fanservice content that appeal to straight white dudes simply seems to receive the most mainstream attention and the idea of just making more games that appeal to other audiences isn't going to work by itself. It will take ages for the audience to organically appear without sympathetic people already drawing more attention to it. And besides, art with personal values or messages imbued in it is as old as Guernica, and older. the same applies to art with subconscious meaning and influence.

As for the Reddit and NeoGAF thing, NeoGAF has exercised discretion over coverage of certain things in the past. They disallow "cool story bro" and "PC master race". They already disallow links to vgchartz, I believe dualshockers, and some bad news sites. They recently disallowed topics on Criminal Girls because the resulting discussion is often toxic ("fanservice/pedo trash", posting waifu pics, ensuing vitriol) and requires more attention than other fanservice-y games and more time than the moderators are willing to devote. It's a volunteered job, moderation, and I can understand if they say that they are tired of devoting free time to consistently toxic discussion that often retreads the same things regarding content (read: Criminal Girls) that they already find in poor taste generally. This is why they say they can't always create hard, strictly defined rules, because some moderation policies are purely in response to the userbase (read: creepshots) and aren't universal, fundamental principles. FWIW, the decision was democratic amongst mods, which is what sometimes happen on big issues, and there were a couple of dissenters IIRC but none objecting more strongly. That being said, this, in tandem with what I'm putting below, is why I understand their decision - which is to centralize the discussion into one thread.

as for Reddit, eh, that varies upon subreddit because there's a tendency in reddit for ideological congregation (neither bad nor good, necessarily) and I'm less familiar with that discussion in general because unlike GAF there are too many discussions going on in reddit at once.

The Zoe Quinn thing also had to do with the publication of a female game dev's sex life without consent. The ex-boyfriend's motivations are murky at best- he's at least as much bitter as he is apparently invested in a narrative about industry corruption. And the boyfriend admitted that he was bitter when he made his expose - every right to feel bitter but here's the thing. nepotism is a thing in the industry, and I think it's bull that Eron Gjoni became more concerned then about nepotism and used an ex's sex life and dysfunction to make his point, because this has obviously been something on his mind for a long time. When he was confident he was done with their personal relationship, and decided that publicizing private FB and Gchats was appropriate.

I still think that there are things that Zoe Quinn has done that are exceedingly ugly but the narrative that produced the airing of this in public is gross as is the obfuscation of the reaction to it. She's immature and messed up and she admits to it repeatedly, and on some level over the course of whatever term described couldn't stop her destructive behaviors. I'm sure she dealt with some major stuff in the past, and she will probably insist on changing and have immense difficulty stopping. The totality of what she's dealing with will take a long time to change. I feel bad for Eron somewhat because he was cheated on (with an unconfirmed number of guys) and Zoe told him what he wanted to hear sometimes because my guess is she wants to maintain a relationship with someone who she thinks knows her. It's hard to know, from Eron's POV, exactly who you're dealing with in that sort of situation. But he handled this poorly and a bit dishonestly, and hopefully some things change for both of them (for example, it's not true that when you have sex with someone there has to be something emotional there.) All of that has less to do with an overarching narrative about corruption in the industry than it does with immature people. Which is both of them by the way - look at some of his responses and attitude like the five guys thing, even though he didn't cheat. You'd find similar behaviors to what Zoe Quinn's accused of in most any industry and either gender - it's a human dysfunction question. But that the core of this issue is about defending or supporting her, and that taking either side affirms some sort of stance on corruption in the gaming industry is nonsense.

I'll end all that with this, which sort of covers what I was getting at above:

"In a well-run media organisation, advertising and editorial are separated, everyone understands the boundaries. But often, from the outside, these interconnections can be read as subjectivity" (http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/03/gamergate-corruption-games-anita-sarkeesian-zoe-quinn)

"...There’s a sense that social justice warriors are going to “ruin games”. But how? This is a tiny subset of writers and developers sharing a left-leaning ideology – they are big on Twitter, but they are not going to convince Activision, EA, Capcom or any other multinational games corporations to stop making games that conflict with their beliefs.

The games industry is a global, multi-billion dollar giant, fuelled by money, not dogma. There will be no social justice revolution – just as the rise of feminist film criticism in the 70s and the explosion of indie cinema in the 80s did not stop Hollywood from making blockbuster sexist action flicks..."

I just want to say NeoGAF seems like it's full of people racing to be offended about anything they can, and it makes me laugh.

Manned Spaceflight is finally returning to the United States (http://www.iflscience.com/space/human-spaceflight-launches-will-return-united-states)

Won't officially start until around 2017, but it is happening.

Also, Amazon and Boeing are going a step further by attempting to source production engines in the US as well. (http://arstechnica.com/science/2014/09/jeff-bezos-space-startup-partnered-with-boeing-for-crew-delivery-bid/)

Little more evidence that life exists, existed, or can exist on Mars. Seeing actual photos of the planet is something else. It's just like vast nothingness. Typically I find huge landscapes like that cool, even in nature but it just looks like arid desert. Maybe it's the lack of color or something.

That's great news! I went to Canaveral after the program ended and it just didn't have the same spark. It was a lot of fun, but to know that launches were in the past was sad.

My wife's grandmother has a condo that overlooks the ocean and you can watch the launches from there. Great to hear that they will soon return.

It makes for an amazing wallpaper anyway. See this is why I don't live in Florida, or Tornado Alley, and wherever else. Storms are the worst. And trying to make a living as a storm chaser sounds horrible.

The weather's just been bad in the US all over this summer. It's the summer from hell, even on the coastal areas. Hotter than usual for the West Coast, and cooler/more storms on the East.

Yeah.. i noticed Europe generally tends to have very nice weather. Especially when I see UK people freaking out on social media about a snowstorm dropping 3 inches of snow or a lightning storm like that one. :) those are so common here hahah.

Although this year it's been quite nice in terms of storms, we've gotten quite a few warnings in Minneapolis, we even had two lastnight, but nothing has ever really happened with the warnings this year. The ones lastight ended up being nothing more than a heavy downpoor with thunder in the distance. It's not uncommon for the power to get knocked out multiple times in one year. So this year has been really surprisingly nice.

Weather is an amazing thing.

Never run FROM a job, always run TO a job.

If you leave something you hate just to escape, you might find yourself in an equally bad or worse place. Find something that sounds like it'll make you happy then go for it.
I'm speaking from experience here too.


Personally I'm hoping to start a business at some point in the next couple of years when I get back to Australia.

I've watched this episode of Scrubs today once already

Are we living the same life? Or do we just both have crappy TV channels that repeat shows...


Ooh delightful!

Let me try to fill the void for you.

Delightful? How could you say something like that when there are so many volcanic eruptions? Have you got no shame? There are people living in Iceland who've got to suffer volcanic ash clouds and you're delighted? Of course this lack of empathy is typical of mountain goat sympathizers such as yourself. Once you've drank from the yaks teat there's no returning to a normal mans life. That's no to say you may never find yourself in arms, or dare I say bed of a woman.  But what self respecting turnip would take comfort in women when they spout such venom? You'd sooner find me in a snake pit cooing like a dove. At least snakes cannot lie or paint tasteless nudes of your genitals while you sleep.

Fuck you cowards who potato quietly, let it out and proud! Don't let women and jews run your harvest. I for one have found comfort in the gardeners handbook, nurturing in spring, watering in summer and the pruning back of the dead leaves in fall. A beautiful image no? But no, It's surely a metaphor for unclean woman who bleed publicly on their lunar cycle... Smug and unshunned from public eye. So remember you westerners who drop your fire from the sky, low hanging fruit is often soaked in the urine of tall dogs. THAT MY FRIENDS, IS THE CURRENCY OF PAIN.

RegalSin got too close to the ban hammer. I would of let him stay, but Barry tells me I'm too nice. Plus RegalSin was technically breaking rules. We have to stick our rules otherwise any structure in place falls apart if the rules aren't followed.

I feel mildly depressed today. And I'm not sure why, I but I can't concentrate on anything and just generally feel really down. I'm sure I'll probably be better by tomorrow, but this seems to be a recurring thing.

I feel that way a lot. Theres really nothing you can do about it. You can do things you know you enjoy, but it doesn't help you feel any better. Depression is just horrible. It comes and goes if you got it mildly. If you have it more then mildly then it can be quite bad.

Building in Minecraft is about creativity. If you aren't creative often then you're going to have a harder time building things. Kids are naturally more creative then adults. As adults get older we lose our creativity unless we keep exercising it. I'd recommend checking out building videos on youtube to give yourself ideas. Lots of inspiration there.

I don't know if I actually have depression or not, but I just get really down sometimes, and it can be really small things that set it off. It's been extremely rare in the last year since I moved out, but I've been getting it from time to time again. I don't think I'm actually depressed though, I imagine it's much worse than what I get. Probably just garden-variety self-loathing.

I've been the same lately too. Could be that things at home are incredibly stressful and work doesn't help one bit. I deal with a ton of shit, then go home and deal with family issues. My wife gets stressed out staying home with my 14 month old daughter, then she takes it out on me when i get home, not very fun..

Sounds a lot like mild depression to me. It's affecting your ability to accomplish things which means it's some form of depression. Mild depression is what I've been getting over the last 1-3 years. It used to be more serious then that. I would go to doctors offices or psychologist offices and they'd always give a form asking questions related to depression. I always lied on the "have had thoughts about killing yourself" question. If you admit to such they can put you in a psychriatic hold and even though I did have thoughts of killing myself in the past I would never actually do it. Being forced to stay in a hospital for 72 hours or possibly longer would just make my mood incredibly worse.

hating yourself is a normal sign of depression. welcome to my world ;) (well, not just my world, i was just using that as a figure of speech. there is a lot of people suffering from depression)

Yeah, I'm kinda moody as well for two reasons:
-This Summer blew and the fact that October has had the warmest weather all year long doesn't really cheer me up;
-The other thing is that I'm about 3 months away from losing my Social Security extemptions, ie the real bane of all freelance workers.

To put it in context, under portuguese law, when you start working as a freelancer, you are generally entitled to two years of making no payments to SS, provided that your earnings are below the mininum brackett (you still have to deal with the IRS and VAT regardless, but that's beside the point). This year I expect to exceed the mininum brackett to which I will start making monthy payments starting from January of 2015, I just hope it won't eat away too much at my monthly income.

Don't bother. Anti-depression medicine sucks and you don't want to use it unless you're really bad off or something. They hand it out like it's candy in the US, too. Don't know if Australia does or not. It can really affect your emotions though, and in not so good ways. It can even make you suicidal even if you never were before. Not something to take lightly.

If your wife needs help, then get it to her. Just be sure that either you are there with her or she knows that medicine should be a last option.

Will is right in that the US tends to just throw prescriptions at everything hoping it will go away. Opting for drugs such as those will only increase the dependence on them, quite literally like an addiction and should only be used sparingly.

TLDR Get help and avoid drugs at all reasonable costs.

I mean i don't wanna give advice to anyone who is super depressed. If you're super depressed then yeah, seek help. Try seeing a pyschologist first if you can, though. They can help you talk through your problems. All a psychiatrist is gonna do is get drugs prescribed, because that is their job.

I was talking in MademanG's case though. He's only mildly depressed. He doesn't want to go anywhere near anti-depression medicine. I've been on various pills through out my life for both anxiety and depression. Anti-depression medicine is used to "fix" both problems.

I never really felt a difference. Until one day when I was visiting my normal doctor, he prescribed me two full bottles of Effexor. Didn't even see a specialist. Effexor was the first anti-depression drug where I felt a difference, within a day even. It wasn't a good difference though. I was feeling like small electric shocks in various places in my body, probably nerve related. I looked up Effexor side effects and was like

(http://i.imgur.com/vCecNQC.gif)

That's when I first realized how serious the side effects of anti-depression medicine is. It has helped people though. it's not like its evil. but, it's not a good thing either. It's something you want to tread carefully with. Anti-Depression drugs are serious stuff. They can completely change a person's personality. They have made some people emotionless. Also some of them, like Effexor are downright hell to stop taking if you've been taking for for an extended period of time.

Try googling "Effexor withdrawl" if you want to see some horror stories.

I agree that Doctors do throw prescription drugs at every little issue, but I do think that anti-depressions do work if used correctly with prescription and therapy. If you need help and think "I just feel shitty and don't know what to do".

There is a withdraw, but that is with every drug you take for long peroids of time. They slowly take you off of it. I had a friend that was super depressed and never talked to ANYONE and hated EVERYTHING, he took it for a course of a year, totally different person (he has been off of it for like 4-5 years).

Yeah, well i mean it's going to affect everyone differently. just like anything else. but in general, it's just something you wanna be careful with anti-depression medicine, they are known for having bad side effects if you get them.

If you got mild depression like I get occasionally is better to just deal with it and try other methods like eating more healthy or taking Vitamins. Lack of vitamins can affect your mood.

you can switch to the old theme in your user account preferences. then maybe you'll notice the difference.

i guess you could say this updated theme is a bridge between current SEGAbits and the upcoming SEGAbits. The design is being nailed down later this month, then after that it's off to working on it in wordpress. I'm excited about it so I thought I'd change the forums up a bit. I'll probably be making a few more changes to the forums around when the new design is going to go live. but the forums are going to look different from the main website due to technical reasons. The forums have really old table based HTML code and it's not easy to change. You can apply CSS to its tags but it doesn't always look how you'd think it would.

We also have a PSO theme I made a while back which is forgotten about, it works and looks great though.

When he was taking the shitty pills, I didn't hang out with him. I hung out with him like months before he was on it and a few months after he was almost off the pills and it was really night and day.

He used to never want to talk to anyone, never look people in the eye and generally be more of a lone wolf. In the past 5 years dude has been going out all the time and generally way happier person. So it worked for him.

Everyone is different and get a Doctor that knows wtf they are doing and not some drug shill.

I downloaded the demo this morning. It's pretty fun. I was surprised cause everyone on Gaf was saying the game is unplayable on the original 3DS and almost unplayable on the XL.

I don't know if the game is worth $40 to me though. something to think about. The graphics look good, i almost think they'd look bad on the XL due to being stretched out.

Bit late to the party, but I wanted to mention that I wasn't considering getting onto any meds. It might be nice to talk to someone and be able to vent to a professional, but I wouldn't want to get onto any pills. I generally feel that way about everything regarding medication though. I like it as a last resort only.


I've been better in the past few days, I think I got hit really hard at work and at home within the space of a week or two and it just overwhelmed me.


On a positive note, I bought a refurbished Wii-U the other day for $234 including all taxes and delivery. Considering getting MK8 and a Pro Controller to go with it while I wait for Bayonetta.

I'm thinking of getting MK8 and a pro controller, partly because I want that for Bayo and then I'll be able to do 2-player races offline. It's going to be nearly $100 for both (Shipping and tax included). Where is the best place to buy games in North America?

Electronics are generally much cheaper in US, but I thought shipping and import fees would make CA cheaper. Nope.

I was looking at ebay, but it's mostly dodgy stuff like 'MK8, no game case, no manual, otherwise good condition. But the artwork says Mario Kart 64, otherwise fine' and it's only like $10 cheaper than just buying from Amazon.

I might have a look at some Second Hand stores and see if they have controllers and games for cheap, but Nintendo prices don't usually drop until they want to clear it out.

Amazon is cool especially if you have Amazon Prime (which I don't =P)

But all Amazon members are eligible for a one month Prime trial period, so you can use that Amazon Prime trial to shave off the shipping costs. You can just turn off the trial period on the last day that it's available to avoid paying (what will then become) an automatic Amazon Prime renewal fee after the period is scheduled to finish. The only real problem with Amazon is that it's super fucking hard to game their sales and predict when prices get slashed and sometimes prices just get stuck. Checking out marketplace sellers can be a risk but sometimes you'll get good deals. It's how I get Skies of Arcadia Legends and a couple of Gamecube controllers.

(btw it seems MK8 is $50 right now)

Past Amazon I dunno. There aren't really ones I like anymore, and my local import store close which freaking sucks. Gamestop is just something I indulge if I want to get certain preorder bonuses, most of the time I can wait for games

I ended up going with Amazon US, got a copy of MK8 and a Nyko Pro Controller for $96 including all shipping and taxes etc.

Checking Amazon.ca I could get the same for $113 with all taxes + Shipping. Checking local stores (Even second hand copies of games) the best I could get would have been about $115~$120.

It's all going to arrive around the 24th October, just in time for Bayo 2. Not sure when the console gets here though. Hopefully sooner.

What do Amazon do that's considered evil?

And yeah, sometimes price just wins. Not always, but my local game stores don't offer me any reason to shop from them, I'm not going to do so out of a sense of 'supporting them'. I do pay to play VF with friends at one store/console parlour, so I support them in that way at least :)

I'd be interested in knowing about the book pricing. Book pricing seems to be really unique in the world of retail, I know in Aus books were the only product you could advertise as 'saving' off the RRP. I believe this was because books were the only products that had an RRP printed on the product?

It was all very strange and led to retailers advertising books as '$19.99, RRP $49.99' or something.

Well, Gotham had a terrible pilot,IMO, but so far so good! Loved these last two episodes.

The Flash made a very good first impression with that pilot. The main villain was kinda meh and some of the effects were a little wonky (TV standards, I guess), but overall Grant Justin was perfectly cast as Barry Allen / The Flash. I'll be following his shenanigans fo' sure.

Arrow Season 3 Premiere was also wicked cool. New villains, Ray Palmer, bonus sequence with Barry Allen, more interesting flashbacks and a major WTF moment at the end.

DC Comics is gonna take a while with their Movie Universe going, but right now, their shared TV Universe is making me ubber happy ATM.

I am glad we live in different countries!

Congratulations are in order though! What did you pass your test on, manual or automatic?
Trying to pass in manual in the states is a mistake. I don't know a single person that has passed on manual here.
Thanks everyone btw. Very late reply i know lol.

Here in holland the main method is manual so thats where i passed in.  I can understand what piro was saying because indeed it was very tough.

I'm a lot more loose now tho. The fear of losing your exam money was still ingrained i think lol

Maybe...? =P

Honestly I have no idea but I've never heard of it. We just get a license and it allows us to operate any automobile on the road, manual or auto transmission. For our state, we have to bring in a vehicle for your road test and whatever transmission type you bring in doesn't matter. but there'd be nothing to legally stop me from just taking a manual transmission car on the road if I wanted, but for me  probably being terrible at it

In any case it wasn't an issue brought up to me by the exam proctor or my state's laws when I got my license, but that was a few years ago. Sounds like Portugal makes their drivers put in some work

I'd be interested in knowing about the book pricing. Book pricing seems to be really unique in the world of retail, I know in Aus books were the only product you could advertise as 'saving' off the RRP. I believe this was because books were the only products that had an RRP printed on the product?

It was all very strange and led to retailers advertising books as '$19.99, RRP $49.99' or something.

If it's stuff about Amazon you're trying to read on, I never really looked into it much, but a decent springboard could be looking up Amazon and the publishing company Hachette. It was prominent in the news a couple of months ago

Permanently finished with my girlfriend and fiance of two and a half years. We tried to at least be friends but even that didn't work and now sounds like I've lost an awesome friend too.

It seems like almost everything that can go wrong with my life is going wrong at the moment. Not even a few nice breathers in between, just a consistent sea of depression.

Breakups can bring a man down. Just remember that later in your life you may look back and be happy that it happened and paved the way for something awesome.

Sorry to hear as well akhi. Wishing you a lot of luck and patience. I think most of us know how it feels. I kind of went through the same thing in the last months (which is why i was so absent lately). But the good news(license) plus me celebrating that by going on vacation helped a little bit. Its good to change environment and be surrounded by good people every day in situations like this.

Adding to what crack said, ask yourself what you would say to the akhi from 2,5 years ago. I know it may sound silly and may not help when putting it this vaguely. But it helped me a lot selfreflecting and convincing myself that i'd be better off if i had never invested my time in "her" i would have been smiling a lot more right now....... Yeahh...

Thanks for the well wishing guys, but maybe I should expand on the sea of depression phrase. It wasn't just my relationship trouble, it's just everything that's going on with my life at the moment. I warn you it get's pretty damn depressing.

Firstly my girlfriend breaks up with me in August (And I'll admit I never saw it coming.) we were pretty damn happy. Just a few days before our breakup she even baked me brownies and presents too so it was a complete shock. At least we were friends still, eh?

Then the even worse news hits. My father spent sometime in the hospital in September after what we thought was a heart attack, his been having irregular heart beats for a while and when the doctor's finally brought him in at first they thought it was a stomach ulcer that was causing him to lose blood that lead to his heart being out of rhythm. Then the day he got discharged they told us it is infact stomach cancer. Worse still whilst the doctor's at first thought he had a timeframe of living between a year to five, seeing a cancer specialist gave the news that he's on the last stage of his cancer and might have between 6 months to a year to live.

Then I found out some people I trusted and had my utter most faith were going round my back and taking things that should legitimately belong to me. The realisation didn't hurt me as much as I thought it would, just completely disappointed in myself for trusting them in the first place.

And then Saturday did a complete number on me as it seems my friendship with my girlfriend is lost too. Damn all of this.

In the end I'm just burying my head more in my work, anime, comics and video games. Basically anything.

Sorry to hear as well akhi. Wishing you a lot of luck and patience. I think most of us know how it feels. I kind of went through the same thing in the last months (which is why i was so absent lately). But the good news(license) plus me celebrating that by going on vacation helped a little bit.

Anyway.... good luck bro

Sorry to hear that man :/ I thought about going vacation but all the stuff with my father means I had to put that on a stop. I'm not sure how much more better of I was if I never met my girlfriend, infact she helped me a lot in my life that I didn't realise I might have needed help on, but just got to keep moving and finding a reason to live I guess.

depression has been building up in me the last couple of days. i just. i dunno

i dont keep posting about it here everyday cause it doesnt do any good, but at the same time i find it

i dont know, maybe it's the gray sky today making me feel so bad.

Thing is, everyone suffers from depression, but when your experiencing it you feel like your the only one experiencing it. You have to remind yourself its not just you. So I feel that in a way it's almost selfish to talk about how your depressed when there is probably people you know experiencing similar feelings and just not saying anything. I just got done deleting a post i made on fb. no one wants to see that crap. It's not easy to hold in though, so I find this topic a good place just to vent i guess. even if i don't say much

does anyone else who is depressed feel the same way?

Usually break ups lead to better things man. I was dating a girl for 4 years when we split and i took it pretty hard, at the time i thought it was the worst thing that could have ever happened. 5 years later, i got married, have a kid, a decent job and quite honestly i couldn't be more thankful for that.

Aki, i know the last thing you want to hear is that things get easier and you move on. It's gonna be rough, so i'm not going to say that you won't be consistently reminded, but it does get better after a while.

Thanks man, I'm trying to pull through it, I have to admit that being able to get things off my chest has helped me a lot.

It has been tough, I honestly thought this was going to be the girl I was going to marry. We talked about getting married soon, the sudden announcement of the breakup and subsequent bad news was just slowly pushing me over the edge. Just when I think things couldn't get worse, something else props up! But
thanks for the support man.

The best thing that you can possibly due is keep yourself busy. Go out with friends and dive into work and i mean a ton of work. I've found that the best way to get over things like these are to go out and meet people or work a shit ton, haha. Things may look horrible now, but you'll be fine, we always are. =)

Do not bottle it in, I would say for you and anyone else. enough bottling in and you might not realize when you've bottled in too much, and when you get that agitated just more likely to do things you'll regret later. It may sound dumb, but consider buying a journal or writing regular "diary entries" on your computer. Sometimes you just really need an outlet, and if someone can recognize that they're experiencing hard times or depressive moods I think that expressing oneself can be helpful. I've never been depressed, but I have been...depressive, so to speak. In any case, venting turbulent emotions onto paper or a Word document did help me out and journal-keeping is perhaps helpful for anybody. I felt ridiculous at first but sticking with it and giving it an honest shot, I became more comfortable over time.

If you're wondering about the social part of just sharing your personal troubles in a public space like Facebook, well at the very least, I think the odds are people won't get super invested in it. But of course do share in places that are comfortable

Android is a great OS. It's just a matter of which kind of experience you prefer on your phone / tablet. iOS is a very consistent and smooth experience because it only runs on Apple devices. Android is more open and on 100's of devices. The downside to that is that UI isn't always consistent depending on what app you are using, and you can sometimes run into compatibility issues. Android also gives you a ton more customization than iOS. It's a matter of what kind of experience you prefer. I don't think one is necessarly better then the other.

Yeah thats what ive got fron the weeks ive been using it. Apple's ios is very very accesable but also very closed. That was never the issue for me though. I actually liked ios a los alot even without jailbreak. Its just that i dont like how ios 8 isnt any different from 7 yet it seemed to have slowed down the experience and fluidity. It literally looks the same and does nothing more substantial or heavy on the hardware yet it made my iphone 5 slower. I thought efficiency is supposed to be a thing of a well designed OS. Instead apple is playing shitty games with its customers and i imagine losing a lot of them instead or succeeding in their goals in the process as their market share is shrinking. I didnt want to change either but i noticed a trend around me of people making the jump as well. Ios is perfect for non tech savy people tho.

Anyway after screwing around a bit im convinced i should have done this sooner. I like the more open and customizable os. kind of like windows you shouldnt screw with it too much and be a bit careful not adding the wrong software. I already prefer being able to watch youtube clips without being forced to full screen. Being able to read comments anf keep the video playing. Let videos load while doing other stuff. multitasking is much better.

Cons are the touchscreen accuracy, touchscreen reactiontime. color profile(contrast too high but i fixed that a bit) and worse camera images.

Its an LG nexus 5. Im not saying its bad, im saying iphones are superior those things. The reaction time in IOS is 1:1. When you swipe it moves immidiatly, while on android there seems to be a very slight latency. Not sure if this is the norm or just a few exceptions. Also camera photo results are great with the iphone. Great color and lighting. And the same goes for the screen as well. So I know what i left behind but its worth the trade off honestly.

Oh okay that's what you meant. I thought you meant extreme lag or something.

Yeah Android has always has been a tad slow when it comes to responding compared to iOS, but they've really improved it a lot over the years. Android 5.0 Lollipop is supposed to improve speed and performance even further. Seeing as how you have a Nexus device, no reason you shouldn't get 5.0 when it goes live. If you have a manufacturer specific phone like i do chances are you might never get 5.0. It's up to the manufactures to provide the new OS in a firmware update.

speaking of firmware updates my phone has been bothering me to install one. i suppose i should. always afraid something bad is going to happen when i install a new firmware.

Becoming a father is definitely one of the greatest experiences that life has to offer. It's a scary one as well, but seeing your baby smile, laugh, and walk for the first time makes it all worth it.


Congrats to your friend though, that's awesome.

Do you guys think we need a drunk thread? I noticed neogaf has one. I don't drink myself, so I can't make such a thread. But if anyone thinks we need one, feel free to make it! lol

Quite impressed with your Pikachu, Will, looks awesome.

Thanks! I noticed Pokemon Art Academy came out this week and figured I would buy it cause, one, im in the mood to draw pokemon, and two, the art academy games are known for being really good.

I'm still on the novice lessons cause it's taking forever to get used to drawing smooth lines on the 3DS screen. Really hard, especially on the normal 3DS like I have, i imagine it'd be a bit easier on the XL.

this was made by building up shapes already in place, before this it was all tracing stuff, but that is good practice too, gives you time to get used to drawing on the slippery 3DS screen.

Actually, we ARE them. That is to say, SEGA Retro is our wiki. George and I do not manage and maintain it, but we share a server and there are plans in place to give SEGAbits more of a presence there (and vice versa) so users like yourself don't mistake SEGA Retro for being separate from SEGAbits.

I watched a couple of WWII movies this weekend.


Bridge on the River Kwai: Brilliant movie, been wanting to see it since I read the book. Alec Guinness did an amazing job with his role, beautifully shot and such a great premise that shows the madness of war and the bizarre misguided loyalty.


Fury: Pretty Gud, got too hollywood-y towards the end for my liking, but otherwise a very well made movie, very intense. The scene around the dinner table in the occupied German town was my favourite.

I can say that forums will not be merged and that SEGAbits will not be renamed - though "Retro Bits" is a term we do use behind the scenes when referring to both sites and the server, but it is not an official name we will ever implement.

If you want a good cross section of films to watch from all angles of WW2 I highly recommend these films in this order. I think it gives a good indication of how far reaching and terrible the war was and how many people in effected.

-The boy in the Striped Pajamas
-Enemy at the Gates
-The Book Thief
-Goodnight Mr. Tom
-Saving Private Ryan
-Letters From Iwo Jima
-Downfall

My dad DID have my Wii to watch his Netflix, but I decided to upgrade him to an appropriate 1080p output as well as an easier control, because the Wii was horrid for him to control on an HDTV.

Hell, my dad can actually navigate with the Roku without my help lol.

Needless to say, now that he can watch Netflix in 1080p, late at night as loud as he wants...he's never been the same.

Might redeem the free month of Hulu plus that is offered with my purchase soon. Maybe get him to sub to that >.>

Also Sonic Generations is shit. I say this based on about 5 minutes of gameplay. Everyone else on this forum will say it's great and you should buy it, but they also think Sonic Colours was good, so they clearly have severe mental illnesses.

I thought Sonic Generations was great and I actually didn't like Sonic Colours, the level design felt way too blocky and felt more like a old 2D Mario game. It felt too hard trying to be something it wasn't.

Sonic Generations needs a bit of time to warm up and the first two levels don't paint a great picture for the game. Which is an incredible shame since Chemical Plant Zone was my absolute favourite Sonic level, but once you hit Sky Sanctuary the game actually picks up a lot, the levels are a lot more layered, the gimmicks are pretty damn fun and the care in the product seems to have shoot up.

The downsides are you have to do a classic Sonic missions and a modern Sonic mission each level to unlock the next, most of the time they aren't too bad but it's just retreading the same stage. It also doesn't help that there's more modern Sonic than their is classic Sonic (Personally I would have added in Sonic CD and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 as separate games to keep the count more even.) and even though stages like Crisis City and Ocean Palace are really well designed, I don't have much affinity for them. There's some stuff they did with Speed Highway that I thought was a massive shame too (The stage for the most part is still great to playthrough.)

Also the final boss is one of the worst in video game history (Okay maybe not video game, but very poor final boss.)

I still liked it a lot despite it's flaws, a solid 7 or 8 out of 10 game.

Don't know about that, I've been asked to root a lot of devices (including Acer Liquid Z4), the entry-levels might not be as risky, but some of 'em are pretty hard to root, mainly because Kingo Android Root isn't updated as often due to the insane amount of devices being released every week. Finding the correct drives for a couple of the entry level chinese Android smartphones, for example is a b*tch.

Mang you're wrong about this, dead wrong. I won't allow you to slander this game's good name anymore, there are infact MULTIPLE Sonic the Hedgehog 2 levels in this game. Infact in respecting the original title, Sonic Team decided in their kind hearts to include TWO Sonic the Hedgehog 2 levels, a sure fire reference to the TWO in Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

But the references didn't stop there, infact they wanted to showcase their extended generosity by allowing gamers to experience Sonic the Hedgehog 2 as if it was made in this day and age. And that is why they developed the highly sought after Casino Night DLC, now Sonic fans can experience what might have been of their classic Sonic games had they been made now instead of yesteryear. Finally to stamp one their love of references, the DLC was infact not a level but a pinball board based on gambling! No doubt a reference to being part of Sammy. With such care and love put into this game I ask you Mang, how can your black heart still hate this loveable title?

Sonic Generations confirmed for shit, and Aki-at confirmed for misleading! >=(

Well, now i'm even more pumped cause Chemical Zone is my favorite Sonic 2 level. How much would i have to pay for the Casino DLC?

It's $1.49 but I wouldn't bother, it's just a pinball board.

I want to look into joining a gym, but I won't be in Canada for a full year, not even sure about 6 months at this point thanks to Visa expiration. I don't know if they offer month to month options and how much they cost though.

I dread walking in and asking, because as soon as you do they jump onto your back and harrass you to give them all the contents of your wallet.

Considering going to the YMCA that's somewhat near work, but it's still 30 minutes by bus and apparently gets crazy busy on weeknights.

Man, Pure Cocoa is nuts...

So much concentrated. I can barely put a damn tablespoon of the stuff with my Ovaltine chocolate and it STILL takes forever to dissolve. Scary stuff, but tastes so good....The result I mean. Cocoa itself is awful and reminds me of consuming cinnamon *shivers*

I've been having trouble getting myself motivated to exercise recently, but since I'm getting old and gross it feels like now is the time to keep on top of it. So I have created myself a reward scheme tailored to my individual needs.

First I went to the store and bought myself a delicious steak. Got home left it on the kitchen counter as a reminder.... When I got hungry and went sniffing around the kitchen for something I saw it, wanted it and knew what I had to do!

I was not allowing myself to eat the delicious steak until I'd done my exercise! So I put on some badass 'gets-u-pumped' eye of the tiger style music and some sweet ass internet porn to spur me on...

I actually got through my exercise in like record time! Had a celebratory jerk off, then headed to the kitchen to get my steak hammer! The irony that I was beating meat directly after id beat meat was not lost on me. Fried my steak (rare, fried in butter and a bit of pepper.) Felt incredibly good about myself.

Thanks baby Jesus!

So it's started proper snowing last night, forgotten what it's like to walk through snowy sidewalks to work.

I think I'll get used to it, not sure if I'm happy or not about it. Snow is nice when you have a quiet weekend, but daily commuting is harder now. Still trying to adjust to a lot of personal things too, I don't know if this will be a good distraction or just make me feel worse.

Walking on snowy walks isn't so bad, unless it's a lot of snow or its a wet snow that turns into ice following a deep freeze.

If there is a lot of snow or if it's a wet snow and there is a deep freeze on the way I make sure to shovel right away. I know I appreciate it when people do such, and I'm sure people appreciate it when I do such. Just an act of kindness.

Well I live in an apartment block, so no shovelling for me. Otherwise I would do likewise I guess.

The walking isn't too bad, it's rather wet around my work and home though, a bit slushy which isn't as nice.

At least it'll be nice and cozy in the evenings or weekends.

Start looking, the sooner you start looking, the less time you have to grind it out at a place you don't like. Remember, run TO a job, not FROM a job.


I tried to take up fencing as a sport/hobby in the last week, good lord it's expensive though :( I've got a free trial week I can use at a club near work, but it's so hard to get to without a car (and in the snow). I might have to put fencing on the back-burner and pick it up when I'm more able, it was so much fun when I tried it!

It's great to see so much positive feedback on this new design. I was actually feeling negative about it before it went live. I guess we tend to be harsh on ourselves.

This is probably our last major redesign for a long time. There is no reason to dramatically change anything for a long time. Of course stuff still will be added and tweaked over time. There was stuff I wanted to be part of the launch of the new redesign that I had to leave out due to time constraints.

First introduced by a Democrat senator. This is what you can expect. Democrats consistently lose the messaging war on their policies to hawks, so we get all sorts of bizarre compromises. Like Chained CPI proposals. That and sometimes it's just typical you scratch my back I scratch yours stuff.

This really sucks for newer students. We're going to give more money to private contractors like Nelnet to hopefully get better customer support or something. Suuuuure. This is a very effective private-public partnership (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/27/obama-student-loans_n_4674071.html). :p This system is bad. Degrees are often income boosters, and beyond that, higher learning is fun. But not when you have this.

Meanwhile half of our discretionary budget is probably going towards the military. :S While the Pell Grant cap is going to be raised a bit, MUCH fewer students will have access to it.

Meanwhile countries like Germany and Sweden are offering free post-secondary education, albeit one can still take on college-related debt.

Holy hell, what a rotten day. Certainly one of the weirdest results I've ever heard. Shoot once and win 2-0? Did they win on penalty kicks or something?
The first goal was a hip-thrust into goal from a throw-in.

Yes, it was one of those days. Fucking hell

Porto lost. How can a team that builds up ZERO plays, shoots ONCE, win 2-0?

Fuck football. This is worse than Fifa Online

You know we recently lost to Manchester United 2-1 after they had 2 shots on target compared to our 14.

I know how it feels.

21GB worth of Android API updates.....This is what I get for putting it off for so long. 4 1/2 hours ;_;

On the bright side, slowly but surely getting more Open Source programs to replace freeware/nagware on windows whenever feasible when I'm not messing around with Slackware in a VM.

I never really understood that episode. Does it imply homosexuality or being a pansy/effeminate in the US?
It never really had that connotation in UK/Aus usage as far as I can tell, it was just like 'bastard' or 'asshole'.

Dang Piro, hope both your wife and aunt get well soon.

Was attacked on Wednesday night when I was out with my GF. Was walking back to the train station after dinner (I just came off of work so was still in my suit!) Guy came running upto us cause we bumped into him (Is this Yakuza??) I apologised but he swung a punch towards me and then hit my GF, then I went and hit him with a bag full of curry (Wait what? This is definitely Yakuza.) that ended up exploding all over his face. After a few swings from me (One free hand and one carrying a bag full of items.) the guy ran away.

We're both fine and can laugh about it though, shame my suit is ruined now, I seemed to have ripped it during the exchange of blows but at least neither of us got seriously hurt.

Aki- wtf! Was he some kind of addict or something? Guy sounds crazy. Hitting him with a bag full of curry is god-like though.  Little disappointed you didn't use monkey kung-fu like Eileen.
Thankfully I've never been in a situation like that, I always wonder how I would handle it. Sounds like you handled it really well though, kudos.

That sucks though, Aki. I was at a post office last week and this dude strolls in and yells "Everybody against the wall, this is a stickup!" - then he proceeded to laugh and look at Christmas cards while saying "Ain't anybody gonna listen to me? haha!"

I left, didn't want to find out if he was joking or not.

In case you've been wondering why I've been so silent recently. I got a web development job earlier this month and have been busy working. Decided to finally share the news. It's pretty stressful at times, but what job isn't? I really do enjoy it though. I'm learning a ton and it's nice having something to do every day, even if it is a drag getting up at 6am every day. I've always been a morning person though, so  it's not horrible for me or anything.

Congrats! I know the feeling of the 6AM start, I've been doing it for the better part of 5 years now (in two different jobs, two different countries! Can't escape!).  It's not bad once you get used to it, and it helps you enjoy the weekend more as well  I find, since a 'Sleep in' becomes 8AM and you still have the whole day to enjoy.

I think I'm good enough. I've been told I'm good enough. Everything seems to be going good so far so I think it should work out. There is definitely demand right now, of course that could change in the future.

After the announcement of SEGA's American business being closed and the focus on a digital only future, I feel that perhaps it's time for me to leave too.

I understand I haven't been on much lately due to life's pressures, but I have followed SEGA games from a physical stand point from the beginning and saddened that they'll be streamlining their services and going mostly digital (to which I am not a fan of, regardless of company).

So I say goodbye to SEGAbits, it was nice to read the odd SEGA news when a game was coming out for the west, but given their new focus and their western output not quite interesting me (not a fan of RTS' or Football Management, although I did play some a few years back), I have little reasons to return for discussion.

I wish every member here the best, and I hope to see you elsewhere on the internet. :)

Wait what? Why are you leaving? :(


Well we'll be here when you get back. Honestly, people are making way too big a deal of today's news. SEGA focusing on PC and digital has been a thing since a few years ago, and 2014 itself was light on physical releases. Physical is not going away, in fact I know of two physical releases this year (Miku 3DS and Fighting Climax). Also, SEGA is sure to still have a few big titles each year like Isolation in 2014 and a Sonic game in 2015.


And of course there is the back catalog of everything from 2014 to the early 80s. One's fandom shouldn't end because of today's news.


Given SEGA's recent talks of putting more effort into the Sonic brand and classic IPs in movies and TV, I think we have a very active and interesting future ahead of us.

Most of their output at least. Yakoozer, Vee Eff being games I love (although Sega doesn't even translate Yakuza anymore unless Sony pays so, lol). Total War is currently in the toilet with Rome, CoH2 was good, but Sega bought that when it was already finished anyway.

I thought you were taking exception to the fact that I didn't list Yakuza as an exception to the rule. Because I still like Yakuza, it's pretty good.

Except Dead Souls, that game wasn't great.

Also the game strongly implies that Majima is bisexual or homosexual. If fluffy were still here he'd have a field day on that. I remember him implying that Kiryu was gay because of a male character's death caused him to cry.

There was also that scene where he kisses another man, but that was out of context.

I gotta respect your decision in the end, but please reconsider. Communities thrive on discussion and people stopping by. You seem like a chill person.

I can understand feeling the way you do, because if my guess is right, God knows the picture for the stuff that interests you is bleak. However I think it's worth involving oneself at least to see how everything ends up moving, and spreading around more information or even trying to engage the industry if you feel up to it.

Plus, we have our handful of chances to capitalize on things - like Yakuza 5 heading westward, Valkyria for PC, DBFC (hey, everyone counted it out), etc. I think it's worth taking the time to evaluate how you see yourself as a gamer as the industry changes and what you're willing to put up with and etc. But I do feel personally that there are some things worth waiting to see. As it is the straits are better than they were a year or two ago.

Today is a bad day. Not just the SEGA news, but it was a crappy day for me in general. I feel really bad for the cool SEGA Employees who are affected by the layoffs or relocation. I hope everything works out for them.

Just want to put this day behind me.

I can't wait until winter is over. At least another month or 2 to go though. Minnesota winters last forever. Admittedly, aside from being super cold unusually early, this winter has been pretty mild. So, i guess I can't complain too much. Still, things could suddenly change and wreck havoc.. but for now.. things are decent in regards to winter weather.

Tell me about it. Here in Canada I just had to walk through knee-deep snow to get to work. The fifteen minute walk felt a lot longer.

Good luck and best wishes. I'm sure it'll be fine. Knee Surgery should be pretty routine stuff for the docs!

No way man! Even without the games there's still a great community to chat with and hey we still have memories of the classics.

But if you must go than all the best bro! : (

It's not just that I guess, I've been slowly getting away from games in general, and my lack of appearances here pretty much confirm it.

It's nothing against SEGAbits or any other community I go to, but I don't really have anything to add here or anywhere else these days.

I visit to read a few articles, but otherwise I am not very present on the internet.

Please don't see it as a reason like I am giving up on SEGA entirely, but looking forward I don't really see myself buying as many games in the future in general.

@Barry: I recall PMing you last year about something, which may have a little bit of impact on why I am leaving, some of it to do with my life's struggles that I won't go into on here, that's a another (very) small part of it, but in general I am not that present on many websites these days due to not playing games (burnt out on the hobby).

I thought I'd at least post my reasons before I go!

I have seen the off-topicness go as far as talking about some British slang terms!

I do understand what you mean, but I've had some burn out on the internet for the last few months that I need to get off it really (work related stuff also is a part to it).

It's nice to know that I can return when I want, although I hope I return more passionate and enthusiastic than I currently am.

In regards to City, we won't win this year, I've been to the FA Cup match where we lost (shocking how brutal the lower tiered teams are) and that Arsenal game was there for the taking. I think City's in a rut personally and need to bolster their defence a little (Mangala sucks!).

While I'm normally a person to look up to the newest viral message youtube videos, I must say Boyinaband's #Dontstayinschool is by far the cringiest video of the new year.

His message is nice in theory about practicality, but ironically it doesn't work in the real world like he's advocating to. Lots of people agreeing, personally has me baffled.

Thanks! as for why I don't pirate software, personal reasons. What I want to do can be achieved with other software. I'm perfectly happy paying and supporting software if it's something I use. Photoshop I hardly use though, so I don't feel like I'm getting my money's worth if im paying for it. That's just my personal feelings though. I don't care what other people do. Although I do think people who make money using software that they have pirated should pay for the software. Adobe software is very complex and requires a lot of people to update and maintain it. It has many more features then free software and there is a reason it costs what it does. It's for professionals, people who use it to make their living.

I use sublime text to make my living and I had no problem buying the license to use it. It's a great piece of software and I want to support the people who created it. $70 may sound like a lot for a text editor, but with it's great performance, all the features built in, and the extensibility of the plugin system I'm happy to support the creators. Features that help me get my job done.

Yeah, Adobe isn't that bad. Does the thing cost alot? Yes. But I think Adobe Photoshop CS2 is free (and old, it was the first one I ever used). Most likely worse than Gimp.

Glad you like the new format! And I swear, the grim SEGA of America news is what brought this place back to life, as strange as that is.

George has been kicking ass on Weekly Five - I'd like to claim some behind-the-scenes responsibility for the new videos, but its like 99.9% George, so kudos and karma points and kartel swag bags to him!

The theme weeks and theme months gave George and I some much needed focus on content. In the past, we had our features, but what to focus on was all over the place. Having the ability to freely pick from whatever we want sounded great, but it was difficult to break from our comfort zones. Theme weeks and months force us (in a positive way) to write about stuff we usually wouldn't and try games that we haven't gotten around to trying. I'm especially looking forward to Smilebit month where we hope to talk about Smilebit's lesser talked about games like their big headed baseball games and GunValkyrie.

Hello guys, it had been a long time, the last thing i write here i think it was about my mom and all what happened to her, she had (still have actually) a slipped disc. But i am relly happy to say than thankfully she is MUCH better now.
After really hard months she did a couple of times what i think is call "block" which help to stop the pain basically. With that and long yoga and chiropractic sessions she has really improved thankfully, today she did some studies than confirm that.


I was for the most part in others sites during that time, i found a really cool spanish site which is much more confortable for me to speak (for obvious reasons), but i will make time and write here when i can.


Anyway, it may not be look like but in the last months my mom problem was worrying me a lot. She still had a slipped disc but is nothing compare with before.


I think thats all i wanted to say, see in the forums. Thank to the people who give me support messages by the way, you pirovash was one of them, ALL the luck in the world with your grandma.

I visited my grandma last night at an ICU, she's still in intensive care, but I think she's gonna be okay. She's only able to say "okay" right now. My mom is a mess, literally the 2nd time in my life that I've seen her cry, the first being when her grandmother passed away.

Anyways, glad I'm getting a 3 day weekend, need the rest.

Also glad you found a Spanish site you feel comfortable with, I can't imagine myself going to a Spanish site and trying to keep up (and to think Spanish used to be my first language growing up).

Thanks man, i really appreciate that.

Funny, Spanish was my first language growing up as well. Now, my Spanish is pretty broken and i can hardly put together a decent sentence. I can definitely understand it though. Not sure if i ever said, but i'm half Spanish and Mexican, although i consider myself Caucasian. My dad and his family are from Spain and my mother was from a small pueblo in Mexico named Zapotlanejo.

I hardly consider myself Hispanic though, mainly because i don't associate myself with the culture very much. My wife is Caucasian and i think my Spanish/Mexican decent will end with me because my daughter probably won't know much Spanish.

First of all, very happy to see good news from Piro and Mariano! Nice to have Mariano back on the forums too, we need someone positive to off-set my negativity :p


I realised in the last couple of days I've been feeling really depressed and I think it's mainly down to the fact I'm leaving Canada this year. I've been here about a year and half and while I definitely want to go back to Australia long-term, it's hard to know I've got to leave the friends and life I've made here.

It's a strange feeling too, knowing I'm going means I feel like I don't want to commit to anything because I can't stay, which also makes me feel like I'm being held back in a way. It's very odd.

So it seems that Sega won an award from PC Gamer.
The coveted
"Best comedy pig during a genocide" Award for 2014
Quote
War is hell. A lot of good soldiers don’t come back and the ones who do are never quite the same. So, for the sake of squad morale, it’s important to adopt a flying pig as a mascot while out in the battlefield. Hans, the porcavian friend of Valkyria Chronicles’ Squad 7, brings the much-needed joy of a winged pig who can only say “moink” to the otherwise drab setting of genocidal war. Nothing cheered me up more than Hans’ enthusiastic moinking just after my favorite character died while liberating a concentration camp. I mean honestly, he’s wearing a little bow! Nothing can bring me down when Hans is around.

Looking at internships over at Cape Canaveral at NASA and also looking into jumping into the DHS's Cybersecurity internships when they open up again after I start 4 year BS hopefully sometime next year. Both programs for students. Random thoughts of possibly Joining the Navy as a reservist have made their way in as well, but I'm not too sure about it all right now.

So it seems that Sega won an award from PC Gamer.
The coveted
"Best comedy pig during a genocide" Award for 2014http://www.pcgamer.com/goty-simulator-2014-the-alternative-pc-gamer-awards/

I take it this is the most prestigious award

RIP Youtube.

They took up a huge chunk of users for video streaming. Surprised they haven't tried to do a Netflix type deal or something and have big content creators go behind a Netflix type paywall.

Our CEO has officially been fired. They're going to be passing some more responsibilities onto me and other colleagues. I smell a raise finally coming!

Piro, congrats on your maybe to be promotion.

JRcade: Yes! I have a girl that I went to HS with and she was talking about doing this to her kid. I strongly advised her do more research on the matter and pointed the fact that Autism is a new diagnosed thing and thats the reason for the increase and not vaccinations. Shit storm came in and she called me a cunt basically. I swear, people need to sue those people spreading those falsehoods.

This was one of the mist heated arguments that my wife and I had when deciding on whether or not my daughter should get them. My wife was really against it, but I kept telling her that most of the vaccinations are necessities in this State and some schools won't allow your kid to go to school if they don't get them. After a lot of disagreements, she finally gave in and my kid has gotten them all and she's been fine. She's had a fever maybe twice after her vaccinations, but only for a day or so. I would definitely recommend it, I've heard of some terrible cases where children get sick and pass away because their parents weren't responsible enough to take care of their children.

I don't mean to offend anyone if they're against these, but I would rather not risk it with my daughter.

Wishing the best for ya Piro! Sorry to be a downer with my own post below hahaha.

But yea, after the first few sentences were something along the lines of:

"If you have the guts to see the truth"
"You should be open to reason and argue fact not emotion"
"You should feel ashamed with gambling with your nieces lives"
"I would never want my kids around a parent who plays Russian roulette with injections"

I was frankly ready to flip the fuck out on this person. I didn't though. I looked at all the articles he posted, showed him how his own articles either contradicted each other or actually linked to studies that contracted the article(misrepresentation) and basically corrected several "facts" pointed out in each.

In typical fashion he brushed off all of my points because I didn't address the numerical data in his links(probably because the text data itself was fraudulent in mots cases), and basically told me that he "hoped I would see the real dangers some day".

So that's enough out of me anyway.

Don't most public schools force you to have immunizations? My state did, but I guess it makes sense if it's a state by state thing. I can't imagine states like Alabama or Mississippi wanting to force immunizations at a government level, what a communist thing to do! I clearly remember because i absoutely despised needles... and still do, just not deadly scared of them. When I was young I apparently made doctors chase me around a doctors office once for a few minutes cause I didn't want a shot that bad! I apparently ran right out of the room and through the hallways! Lol

Anyway, go kick some inventory ass, Piro! Work hard and I'm sure the higher ups will see you are a good fit for a raise.

Valve is a save choice. Nintendo isn't that bad, Sure their blundering the Wii U but they always have ideas to comeback (see amiibos, new 3DS, tons of games). The real thing is looking for a smaller publisher that has had quality titles and you think will be big.

Investing in a big company even worth it?

pirovash88's Magical Quest 2: Piro's revenge

gg's! So happy you got it.

random thought. ive been doing a lot of reading about money recently.

just a random thought that came into my head. if you had to invest all your life savings into one company, what company would you choose?

If you really wanted to do this

Apple or Google. They're continuing to diversify (Apple with cars, Google with car insurance and acquisitions) and if you're just looking for things with investor confidence I feel like those are good ones. You don't have to be an insider to notice that investors feel confident about tech and big names. Investors/companies will create a self-reinforcing hype bubble at least for the near term, and it won't matter what roadblocks they hit along the way. The timing is good for Apple Pay and Google Wallet, smartphone use is on the rise, etc.

Alternatively, you could look into mutual funds. More stability. Back in 2012, Apple's individual share prices ballooned to like 6 or 7 hundred and then took a hard plummet, so you were screwed if you weren't one of those early sellers.

Personally, I would just like...not do this, put aside some for retirement and give to charity or NGO's =3

Last friday my girlfriend was involved in a massive car crash.

A guy ignored a Stop sign at over 100km/h and crashed sideways into the front of her car. His car then went airborne and smashed two other cars (the 4 cars went to the junkyard). Miraculously, both he and my gf survived with just a few scratches.
I was in my car in front of her, I watched it happening from my rearview mirror. I panicked and rushed to my gf. She was ok, and the guy jumped his car window (door was smashed) and started to run away. I chased him and RKO'd him to the ground.
He was drugged of some shit. Some people, me and my gf identified his face before he ran away again anyway after some minutes.

He didn't have insurance.
The next day he himself goes to the police to claim his car was stolen with the keys on ignition (because he left the keys in the car upon crashing). Coincidentaly I was at the police station and he shat himself upon seeing me there.
The police are now taking several witnesses accounts to turn the motherfucker in.

I never regreted so much not punching a guy in the face. But that's life. It would probably only come back to bite me in the ass later on.

My gf appears to be fine.. Has a bruised foot and an itchy eye due to contact lenses (I hope).
But for the slightest moment...I really thought that she was gone.

I've been having nightmares every night.

He got caught, but he won't be prosecuted until it is proven he actually was there. Portuguese justice protects people that are injustly accused a lot, but in turn it ends up protecting scum like him as well.

Still don't quite get what these kids are thinking they'd accomplish? I mean Daesh are killing their own, blowing up Mosques, sites of heritage etc generally the thing that most in the Arab world would pin on a Western power and why they should be hated. But Daesh do it and it's fine?

It's worrying that they've been able to tap into some really efficient propaganda that brainwashes what are very susceptible people unlike any organisation before them. Thankfully I don't know anyone from my family or group of friends who sympathise with these monsters.

It was my take on the Junkyard blogs, which I was an avid reader of back in 2007. I saw that all but the SG-1000 and Nomad had Junkyard blogs, so I went with the easiest one to cover. I ended up blogging about Game Gear and Nomad stuff, but also did iOS since it was new at the time. Pretty soon, SEGA Memories, Saturn Junkyard, and Dreamcast Junkyard asked me on, which lead to me joining SEGAbits in 2010. By now I am like 98% SEGAbits, 2% Dreamcast Junkyard, 0% everything else. Figured it needed a proper "goodbye" post. :(

Someone new to the site might not find it so funny, at this point it's more of an inside joke. But, back before SEGAbits existed, it was just SEGA Nerds. Then SEGA Nerds sold themselves out to a site called The Kartel. A site all about videogames and pop culture. It was loaded with ads, a ton of bad content to appeal to pop culture, and top 10 lists. and the admin called himself "The Godfather". The site also had rewards points called "$karma".

SEGAbits was created because of that, and one year it was decided we would do our own version of The Kartel as an april fools joke. it was a hit. lol

Not just the ads, but it was so clearly just an empty money making operation, and Karmabux meant it attracted prize pigs from all over the internet posting shit to get their post count up.

As an example, I think Lost Odyssey or something was coming on 4 discs on Xbox 360 and the site owner/moderator whatever was like "a game on more than one disc!? What an interesting concept! I wonder if other publishers will adopt this? Anyone know of this ever being done before!?"

And the cartoons and the self aggrandizement (one of the owners talking about how he was a wall street wizard who spun billions of dollars or something).

Offfft.


I do miss the OLD OLD SegaNerds from when I first joined and met Aki, Snaus, George, Sharky, Shadi and even...KOGEN.
I still remember the jank-ass forums and people accusing Kogen of printing out the topic 'Tails inspires bizarre sex fetish!' when they monitored his usage.

Kogen was the tits. But he was already banned when I joined.
Then he was given a second chance. Then got banned.
Then there were the new forums. Then got banned.

Well, I left because I wasn't too into the Kartel's look and stuff for the site and I didn't really want to write on another blog and risk it having the same issues so I started SEGAbits. Basically a platform where I can do whatever I want. I was lucky enough that people wanted to join and help out.

Very cool man, I'm glad you came up with the idea. This place is way better than the Sega Forum and it's cool to see some banned people on here. I remember you got banned, right? Lol.

So I'm looking at buying a car. Really want a hatchback. A sedan just seems useless to me. I'll never have more then 1 or 2 people (me being one of those one or two people) in the car for extended periods of time. The hatchback's just seem to be uncommon compared to normal sedan car bodies. I just feel like a 4 door sedan car body is a waste for me, I like the hatchbacks because you can fold down the back seats and get more cargo room in a pretty small form factor vehicle body.

I noticed cars cost less compared to hatchbacks though, and this would be my first car... i don't know. Buying used of course, I need it by this summer. Trying to not go over 10k but if I find a car i think is a good deal i might, but i'd rather not, considering its my first car and all the kinds of abuse it might go through. Although I think i'll be a pretty careful driver.

Do you guys think I'm being overly picky not wanting a 4 door sedan? I mean. in the end.. i guess anything is better then a cramped bus ride, but I'd like to be able to like my first car, too.

Not sure why anyone likes Kogen either, he's one of the worst people I've ever had this misfortune of talking too... But if you like incredibly racist, abusive, bullies then I guess he's your man. He still posts around as 'YarfFoxy' or something and he's still a shitheel.

A lot of people's first cars are a hatch-back. Most of mine have been, great model of car for city driving and general usage. Good room in the trunk, good on petrol, easy to park.

I know in Australia Japanese hatch-backs are the go-to, since they are cheap to repair and maintain and in good supply and generally good build quality. Honda Jazz was a great model and the Toyota Corolla is always a good bet.
Not sure if Japanese parts etc are different in North America but I imagine it's similar. Not sure what models of hatchback US car companies make.

I was very close to buying my first new car before moving to Canada, was going to get a Toyota 86.

Not that I particularly 'liked' him, but he just made for a lot of funny moments on the forum. He seemed so angry all the time, I can't help but think it was all an elaborate act.

Hatchback's just look really good! in my opinion at least. They seem quite practical too. Either way, I got another 3 months to put away money for a car. So maybe I'll end up getting something more expensive then I was planning. For some reason I thought you had to hold a permit for 45 days, but its actually 3 months(90 days). Another 3+ months with the crazies on the bus =)

As for American hatchbacks... Ford Fiesta Hatchback, Ford Focus ST, Chevrolet Spark (really small and cute, has a pure electric version called EV, too), Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback.

Indeed, because it kills bacteria, though salt water is more gentle. In the past I've also used pms-benzydamine oral rinse. Looks just like Listerine, only it disinfects and numbs the mouth and throat. Though In recent years I've kept listerine as part of my daily dental care regimen. 

Warm salt water is great for inflamed gums too.

(SPOILER WARNING)

Gonna be totally honest right now... Arrow Season 3 has not been on par with the previous season. Arrow S1 was half-soap opera / half superhero show, Arrow S2 was full-on Super Hero Show from start to finish. Arrow Season 3 started kinda strong with Felicity and Ray Palmer jumping in. Lost a bit a steam half-way. The Arrow / Flash crossover episodes were really, really good. The Climb and the three-parter mainly focused on the rest of Team Arrow facing off Brick was by far the strongest story arc, because it allowed the other characters to get the spotlight (namely Arsenal who has been very lackluster up until that point). Ray Palmer was by far the best addition to the cast with his ATOM suit. Makes me wonder why Marvel hasn't sued Berlanti because ATOM is so much like Iron Man. Other things, Ra's Al Ghul is the big baddie but doesn't have the same menacing presence like Slade Wilson did in the previous season. Slade Wilson was also terribly wasted in one single episode "The Return" where he got beat up with Thea Queen, also another character in which I feel they have no idea what to do with. The Ray / Felicity / Oliver love triangle was one of the  big highlights and I wanna know where this goes.
Don't get me wrong, Arrow S3 is still good but there are a few issues with it that keep it from being as good as the previous season. The Flash  right now is the strongest of the two shows so I hope they kick it up a notch for season 4.

I was going to say it reads like the script to Big Bang Theory, but that would be more like.

Sheldon: Hey Penny
*Audience can be heard sniggering in anticipation of a joke*
Penny: Hi Sheldon
*A few audience members begin outright laughing, but are quickly smothered angrily by other audience members in fear they won't hear the upcoming humour*
Sheldon: I recieved some Kudos today...
*Audience members let out moderate laughs that last for the full one minute of silence, many try to stifle their laughter in anticipation of the punch-line but simply cannot contain it*
Sheldon: it's a form of praise on a video game forum.
*Several audience members are killed instantly from ruptured lungs as they laugh so incontrollably hard the begin vomiting blood. Others drown from the blood gushing into their mouths as they are laughing so uncontrollably hard they could not close their mouths to stop the liquid. Still laughing, audience members attempt to move out of the way of the carnage of dead and drowning people but trip over corpses as they begin to lose bodily control from the laughter. In an attempt to quell their inane reactions they begin clawing at themselves, rending flesh from bone, a futile excercise as the entire live studio audience dies a horrific but enjoyed death*

Im in a pretty bad situation right now. Ill try to keep it a bit vague because id rather not be identified.

Anyway, someone in my family seems to be suffering from depression. The person has been using drugs because he/she thinks that its helping him/her to hold on and to "survive". Honestly though i've never seen him/her so miserable in my life after being on the drugs for like, probably a couple of months. I think more suicidal as well as the person mentioned that he/she wanted it all to end in our last conversation.

My only references really is myself. I know how drugs can sometimes make one feel worse, cause a lot of anxiety etc. I also know when on the stuff you can be in great denial about whether its harming or helping you. Usually it does more harm than help.

Then there's the celebrities on tv that have everything in reach, but end up using drugs as well. Its pretty interesting that guys like Robin Williams, with a nice family and everything would actually be so depressed. And what a coincidence that most of these suicidal tendencies come from these people. I think drugs really adds insult to injury in a lot of cases and could be a push into "dark thoughts".

Thats just how I view it all. But I dont know how to deal with it. I dont know what I can do to help this person. Actually its gotten so far that I wouldnt be surprised if something bad would happen in the near future. Despite me having prepared myself mentally, I just cant handle all this stuff. I really just dont know what to do. Im hopeless and I feel like nothing can stop things from happening. Basically if someone could give me some advice, it'd be appreciated. I've grown to like you guys a lot otherwise I wouldnt pick this place of all to share this stuff to.

Depression is horrible. The most you can do is talk with them and support them. If they are talking about killing themselves the you gotta get them help.

Every country is different, but even in the US, where involuntary psychiatric confinement is a thing, it's still extremely hard to get someone into the hospital without their consent even if they are talking about killing themselves.

You need to do whatever you can to support your family member if you truly care about them. You might be the only one who cares. Dealing with depressed people isn't easy and most people just kinda give up. I know so because I've been depressed in the past, and still am at times, and have dealt with a friend who was once deeply depressed. Depression is a horrible thing.

I hope the Star Wars Rebels season 2 trailer was added to that list. Rebels Season 2 is like The Clone Wars version of Batman Beyond - so many returning characters and plot threads!

Also, the stand alone Star Wars films are referred to as "Anthology Films" now instead of spin-offs. Which makes sense, because they really aren't spinning off from the main series. Characters could be new, or they could be returning and events could take place at any point in time.

I'd love love LOVE to see an Obi-Wan on Tatooine movie, filmed in the style of a classic western.

Do tell, I want all the hot, steamy gossip.
It's about this table of major portuguese football honours, right.

Benfica fans have a superiority complex. They have to be bigger (higher seating stadium), louder (have their own channel to show their games) and better. Problem is the "better" aspect. Obviously they are not the best at every single aspect, neither is any other club, but their fans are convinced they are.
As such, it's impossible for a Benfica fan to think that their club isn't the most titled one.

Unfortunatelly for them, it isn't. They are one title short of Porto.
So these two guys edited this table, and inclued "competitions" they won. Problem is, these competitions were unnofficial invitation-only events.
After a lot of editing and trying to contact said users on talk pages (every attempt was deleted) I was banned and the page locked with the incorrect information on display.
They go as far as to count a friendly game between Benfica and a second-tier club as a title, counting as much as a Champions League trophy win.

In my opinion it is pointless to count a total number of titles because each has it's own importance, the total means nothing (even if my club has more).
Either way, I really don't give two shits.

thanks will. A lot has happened since and i took a bit of your advice. I think the mistake ive made was to try to find solutions. But forgot about actually understanding. Sometimes people simply want  to be understood instead of having solutions thrown at them. I hope it made the person feel better..

Its true that people give up. Its at times like this when you find out who really cares. Tho i can understand both sides. Theres a lot of negative energy so I cant really blame someone who's doing well and feelin good, not wanting to be brought down to that same level. Usually I when I go through hard times, i try my best to not bother anyone with it. All good will is welcome though

Joss Whedon on leaving Marvel:

Quote
"It's only going to have more characters and be longer and be a bigger movie ... I feel like I'm trying to grow up. And when I look at this movie, there are some things in here I can say, 'This is a step forward,' and then there are other things I'm like, 'Is this a giant step back? Is this me running in place?' And if I were to shepherd an enormous — I mean really enormous, two-part mega monstrosity — I don't think I'd have the opportunity to grow as an artist. I apologize for using that phrase. I feel like I need a different challenge other than, 'Oh my God, that's huge.'

http://www.polygon.com/2015/4/22/8468945/joss-whedon-on-why-he-still-doesnt-want-to-be-part-of-the-avengers (http://www.polygon.com/2015/4/22/8468945/joss-whedon-on-why-he-still-doesnt-want-to-be-part-of-the-avengers)

Sorta my way of thinking for Avengers: Age of Ultron. I don't even care about Thor, Black Widow or Hawkeye since the last movie and now they have Quick Silver, Scarlett Witch and The Vision to flesh out plus the main cast that barely has depth (see: The Hulk). I can see why he quit. When I watch Avengers it just seems like 2 hour long toy commercial with no depth in character development.

That's precisely what they are. Dat merchandise dollar.

I still enjoy the movies for the spectacle, I also really like that they don't take themselves too seriously like Transformers etc. They can have the jokes and loud personalities etc. Considering how hyped I was for Avengers 1, I actually forgot A2 was even coming out so soon and I'm not particularly geared up to see it. I'll still go and enjoy it, but it's not the 'event' it used to be.

I was much more excited for GotG because it was a different realm of Marvel, going into cosmic territory with different and crazy characters. I'd LOVE to see Dr Strange do something similar, going into fantasy Marvel with lots of magic and crazy ass monsters and demons like Mephisto, Blackheart, Shuma Gorath etc.

SMF released an update to make their default theme responsive. I installed the mod and it didn't work well at all on our theme since I have tweaked it a lot over the years. but since all the heavy work was taken care of by SMF, i went in and tweaked things manually.

Some things are still a bit buggy, but it beats having to pinch and zoom on the desktop layout.

Of course, if you like tapatalk, then you can keep using that for now.

We are looking at different forum software and plan to switch sometime this year, so this is only a temporary mobile layout.

Well, all the text is wrapped to fit the screen of a phone so there isn't really a need to zoom out anymore. that's the point of a phone layout.

I can and probably will implement a feature in the future to completely ignore the mobile layout on phone, its not too complicated of a thing to do. I just thought it was time to get the forum readable on a mobile device.

I've been trying to get my 6 year old Niece into classic SEGA games recently, unsurprisingly Sonic has been a favourite. She was asking about the characters, what they're called, where they come from, why are all the animals in robots etc... She asked me if Sonic lives with his mum and dad... And I had told her I think he doesn't have a mum and dad. Later we came to a dreaded water level where she kept drowning, she told me she doesn't like these levels and I agreed water levels always suck.

'It would be better if Sonic could swim.' She said, I told her how they had always made a point that Sonic had never been able to swim. She thought for a moment and said, 'I know why he cant swim, he hasn't got a mum or dad to teach him.'

It's interesting the way children's minds work.

Archie Sonic filled that void in Sonic's life, though since the comic's reboot I think SEGA told Archie none of the SEGA characters could have relatives so characters like Uncle Chuck and Snively are still present but their relation to Sonic and Eggman have been removed.

I was on the SEGA Retro wiki earlier and i was editing the Nomad and SEGA Genesis Organizer pages because they constantly referred to the Mega Drive rather than the Genesis. While I get that the MD is the go-to name for the hardware, the original name, and the name of the main page - this does not mean a site wide use of Mega Drive works. For example, the Nomad page said the handheld was a portable Mega Drive and that it can play most Mega Drive games. Issue is, Nomad is US only and was marketed as a portable Genesis. Also it is not region free and only plays most Genesis games. If somebody changes it back, I'm sending them a DM.

Oh, i didn't know they were moving out here to Burbank. I might have to scope their website for any career opportunities.

I'll definitely check out Justice League issue #40. I've been meaning to get more into DC, but when i started reading Convergence, it reminded me why i don't care for their Universe very much.

I've been keeping up with Marvel's Secret Wars and that's a bit strange as well. I'll continue to give both a chance.

OR you can argue with people on wikipedia. :)

The best thing about Convergence is reading old DCU character short stories, the main event Convergence isn't so great and thats beceause its a 2 month filler event as DC moves to the west coast.

I would suggest picking up Justice League from issue #40, Darkseid Wars is going to be awesome.

Picked up Justice League #40 and.. I liked it, I think I'm gonna keep buying these. Also, I want to get back into Green Lantern, but I don't know where to start. Last issues I read were during the Blackest Night.

Also gonna start buying Action Comics, I read the preview and it looks great.

Green Lantern just got a mini-boot in issue #40. YOu can read the wiki to learn about the last big wars. Most of it was a crossover, which I really dislike in the series. But it seems right now its 'solo' since Hal Jordan is rogue (on issue #40).

I only pick up like 2 Marvel titles, so I'm the worse when it comes to talking about that side of things. But I do enjoy Silver Surfer in its current run, its got really fantastic art.

You know, in all the years I've been reading Marvel Comics I've never read Silver Surfer. I've thought about it cause I've always been interested in Galactus and Nova.

The series they are doing now is written by the Amazing Spiderman current writer (and who blocked me a twitter after a gun debate)  Dan Slott. I read up to issue 9 so far and its very one issue based, I think the first two issue part stories. But yeah, they have Mike Allred on art and its unique little book:

(http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/3/31666/3560530-silver+surfer+and+dawn+greenwood.jpg)
It has a quirky tone and fantasy that reminds me of Guardian of the Galaxy movie of sorts.

Wow artwork does look nice. I've heard of Dan Slot, but I've never read any of his work. I'll put this on my list as well, probably check it out once I catch up on other runs.

I also want to read some of Bendis' new Miles Morales Spider-Man. I've always been interested to see what his character is like.

If any of you ever get tempted to read a manga called Doubt, don't.

The ending is worst piece of shit I've had the misfortune of reading recently. For a comic that is suppose to be a psychological thriller, the main villain using HYPNOSIS to carry out her killings and getting away with it is such a cheap resolution.

Should have known when Square Enix was publishing the story it was going to have a poor conclusion.

Come on, critics, do you hate George Lucas that much that you're willing to overlook a movie's that's kinda of unconvientional for the genre?


The plot isn't hard to follow, it goes places that you don't normally see in these animated movies. It's refreshing in a way, there's no real antagonist, no forced three part story arc and while it uses too much singing, it's also clever enough to acknowledge how singing can get in your nerves.


All of the movie's songs are covers, some are good, some are just meh. I think they use it way too much in the first 45 minutes. They almost felt like "shortcuts" (like instead of giving us dialogue to get a point across we will just use singing, which ocassionally can be clever but often times feels like a gimmick).

Been feeling like shit recently, there's a lot going on in my life right now, but when I think about it I shouldn't be upset or worried. I think it's just too much happening all at once and it's affecting me. I've decided I'm moving back to Australia in a few months, which I'm both excited about and nervous about.
Excited to get back to my home, but also sad to be leaving behind so many friends and the life I made in Canada.

Came out really nice.

No job lined up for Aus, going to move back and look for work afterwards. I wanted to do some travelling before going back to work as well, so hopefully I can get that in. I might even find a contract position or something first, considering I'll be going back at the end of the year.

I haven't seen the movie, but singing "covers" has really worn out its welcome in feature animation. It's happened in Shrek 1/2/3, Madagascar, Horton Hears a Who, Igor, The Nut Job, Hotel Transylvania and a list of others.

It's actually really cool in the VF scene around here now. I introduced VF to a lot of people who had never played it before, or who are younger than me. For many of them VF5:FS is their first experience with the game, or sometimes only VF:Evo.

Explaining how amazing VF1 & 2 were at the time, and the impact they made is really fun. Telling them that when VF2 (and especially VF3) were released, they were the most amazing things anyone had ever seen. The graphics were absolutely unmatched by anything.

Not to mention telling them how huge VF2 was in Japan, showing them the Anime, music videos, comics etc that spawned from it. It's really cool. There's even a player who used to be a gun back in the arcade, playing the old VF2 machine and playing in tournaments back in the 90's.

If nothing else you can watch E3 recaps or all the trailers afterwards, which is how I've done it the last few years (living in Australia it always happened at our midnight so I'd find out about it in the morning or the next day). Or you could use your neighbours internet if the packing is done in time.

yeah its pretty terrible and surreal, they haven't released his name publically or any info yet really so I can't really talk anyone locally about it. murders rarely happen in Jersey, last one was about 5 years back. Came back from a beach party to find my parents very upset and I knew something bad had gone down. My parents are very stiff upper lip British.

Was heading over theirs tomorrow because his dad services my car. It's just really weird and hasn't really hit me yet.

Yes, seems this is all part of the restructure in April as 'SEGA Holdings inc', maybe its a good thing. Only time will tell.

Like I have stated: It is smart to focus on your money makers, the issue is you have to be smart and not ruin those brands since your relying on it as your bread and butter. Sonic Boom fiasco half a year ago shouldn't have happen. Total War: Rome II early launch shouldn't have happen.

I think SEGA needs to start shipping games when they are ready, this generation even the 'heavy hitters' have been shipping half produced products like Assassins Creed Unity and Batman Arkham Knight (PC) .

I hope he never has to talk about 'low quality' games again, because it gets fixed. Also people listing like 80 old games they want to return... hum... maknig quality products doesn't me resurrecting franchises.

Well me and my mom are sitting in a motel right now. The plans she made fell through and now we're kind of scrambling. The main plan is hope the place we're looking at isn't bought up, and our backup plan is to get into a weekly rental place if that falls through. We're kind of banking on the former happening...although it doesn't seem extremely likely (someone already applied for it today).

All our stuff is sitting in my sister's garage and I'm just worried where the next roof over our head is gonna be.

Sounds rough, hang in there! From my experience life is all peaks and troughs, highs and lows, ebbs and flows (you get the idea) things always pick back up in time!

Just hang tight Moody, things may seem difficult and dark right now, but it'll get better. Your mother is probably just scared and stressed like you are, but doesn't want to admit it, nor show it in front of you because it might make it more difficult on you, knowing that she's afraid as well.

I wish you the best and if you need anyone to talk to, you can PM me anytime.

I don't know if that would actually be that cool. Considering Pacific Rim is already full of Godzilla Analogues anyway, would it really be that different?

I understand that Godzilla is stronger, but still.
Actually, would the Jagers even stand a chance against Godzilla? Isn't he broken powerful to the point where nobody can ever beat him ever under any circimstances?

Just how powerful is Godzilla? Can he survive nukes? Hydrogen bombs? Does he have any particular weakness that can be exploited?

Do any of the other monsters ever beat him (was King Kong a mis-match?)?

King Kong had to have powers given to him to stand a chance against Godzilla, OG Kong vs OG Godzilla is just horrible mismatch.


Also depends which Godzilla we're talking about, since he's ranged from being powered by nuclear subs to the spirits of the Japanese war dead. Saying that, weakest Godzilla survived a hydrogen bomb.

Ah, okay. I remember seeing those old VHS tapes of Kong vs Godzilla and thinking they were just giant animals duking it out.

The weakest Godzilla survived a H-bomb!? How does he ever get defeated? Just straight up magic/supernatural stuff?

It was also suggested by the character Yuki in Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla that Godzilla has a soft spot under each armpit. However, the validity of this claim was highly dubious and this weak point was never exploited.

It differs, he can be subdued but never stop. He's meant to be viewed closer to a tornado or an earthquake than a living being if that makes sense? Other giant monsters (Like Mothra) have stopped him but only for a while. But he has been severely beaten a few times.


Godzilla 1954: [spoiler]A device called the oxygen destroyer was used to kill him but it made Tokyo Bay completely devoid of life[/spoiler]
The Return of Godzilla: [spoiler]He didn't die in this one but was lured into volcano where he had a nap until the next film.[/spoiler]
Godzilla vs Destroyah: [spoiler]He went into meltdown, his death was going to cause the destruction of Japan through nuclear fallout. However his son was there to absorb the excess radiation.[/spoiler]
Godzilla vs Mothra & King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters all out Attack: [spoiler]They rode a sub into Godzilla's body and caused a massive cut that caused his body to explode when he used his nuclear breath. His heart survived though, beating in the depths of Tokyo.[/spoiler]

As for me, I'm just feeling tired but in a good way. I'm looking forward to this weekend since I'll have the place to myself again for the first time in 3 weeks and I'll be able to just go see a movie, and relax. I need to lose the few extra kilos I've put on while in vacation mode with my sister. Lots of eating out, drinking and no time/space for working out. Going to try and get back to a healthy lifestyle in the last couple months before I leave.

Need to sort out my travelling next month too. Going back to New York for NYGX in August, as well as trying to see some of Canada's east coast.

So my laptop's LCD inverter decided to go hayware on me. Sent it to my usual repair shop. Unfortunately the parts they need will take 15-20 days to arrive (August, sad to say tends to be a very slow month). So I gotta make do with my dad's laptop. A 2006 Packard Bell MX EasyNote with 2GBs of Ram that has Windows 8.1 installed on it.

Works well for about 80% of my usual work. More intense graphics are no go. It's gonna be a really long month.

I just watched the Babadook. Really fucking scary...up until the ending where the horror that was so effective throughout the movie is gone when [spoiler]it's revealed the Babadook is a real monster and not the result of the mother's imagination. The film worked up till that point because it was never clear if the monster was real, aside from maybe one scene which hinted at it.[/spoiler] While I don't think the movie is bad by any stretch, it's absolutely terrifying, I think if the film were far more ambiguous, it would have been way scarier and way more effective conveying its message.

Yeah, is relatively close to where I work. I'm able to stop by a store on the way home and still make it home around the same time my ride currently is. If i don't stop at the store, it's a much shorter ride then what I'm currently used to my busride being, which is currently an hour and 10 minutes on average on the way home. I'm really happy with the area. Still want to get my drivers license of course, but now it isn't as big of a stress now that I won't be having 1+ hour busrides home.

As cool as it looks, I think it is a huge mistake to not recreate planets and locations from the movies. As is, it's a brand new planet that is not from any of the existing or upcoming movies, plus it is set in the sequel trilogy timeline. Concept art looked good, but it didn't look like Star Wars... or, I should say, it didn't look like the Star Wars that many people know. I'd much rather see a Bantha and the Cantina than a giant whatever that thing was in their presentation and some new bar. Even the aliens they used to populate the art weren't recognizable.

It's like if Universal's Harry Potter theme park was a new place not seen or mentioned in books or movies called Hemlock Court and it took place in the time period of the early 1900s which is when the upcoming Fantastic Beats movie takes place. :P

They're remastering Iron Giant and putting it in theaters again near the end of the month with two brand new scenes, AND it just so happens to be playing in several nearby theaters AND I actually have enough money to get a ticket! I'm pretty stoked, but I don't think I'll have enough for two tickets, and I can't drive to the mall on my own, which sucks for the person to take me. But either way, I'll be figuring out some way to go see it because god damn I love that movie, and seeing it in theaters is going to be amazing.

Bad news:
My feline friend has passed. His name was Simba and he was almost 17 years old. My parents gave him to me when I was in 1st grade. I'm turning in my Masters thesis next week.. It's both endearing and ironic. It was very hard..

Good news:
I have a new car. An Alfa Romeo Mito. It's gorgeous and very powerful.

It has been a week of mixed feelings, and hard work. A lot going on right now.

But mostly...I miss my friend

Just fixed the issue where youtube videos were overlapping text content here on the forums. Was a easy fix. Hoping to spend more time working on learning and working on personal projects again (such as segabits) now that I'm starting to get settled in my apartment and am in a much better living situation overall.

Need to install linux on my desktop again now that I've given my friend my laptop to use as his computer.

Being that my favorite super hero has always been Green Arrow, I really wish they got better actors but the show (in season 4) is still lacking in a lot of respects. They did a lot of things right but I feel like stuff just feels cringy.

The flash back actor that pointed the gun at Oliver was one of the worse actors, his sister being Red Arrow just isn't working, Diggle's helmet looks retarded and most of the characters just act bizarre.

At least Oliver is smiling and actually talking, like the comics.

I feel like the show will always want to be Batman lite and never be Green Arrow we know of in the comics. Le sigh.

Why do Apple products have to be so expensive? Need to get a laptop but my ideal setup is $1700 in Apple Currency. Not that my other choice, the Surface Pro 4 is priced any better.. really really like the way the Surface Pro 4 looks, looks really fun to draw on, but, i need OS X. I don't have 1700 to spend on a laptop.

Well yeah. Everything is priced the way it is because of market demand. I don't mind paying for a premium device, but $200 extra dollars for 8gb ram and $200 extra dollars for 128gb more storage is what kills me. Even Microsoft is headed in that direction now though because people buy it.

Pulled the Trigger on a 2015 15" rmpb base model on the Apple refurbished store. got for $300 less than the normal price. 16GB of ram, so that is future proofed and should last me many years, Hopefully don't have to buy another apple computer for at least 5 years, or maybe ever again if for some reason OS X goes really bad or something. Can never predict the future. I'm feeling really uneasy about spending so much, but everyone who buys these laptops say they are worth the cost. So, fingers crossed. If worst comes to worst.. i can return it to the Apple store too within 14 days.

Also.. holycrap, that presentation sounds like torture. You got guts for even attempting to do it! I'd drop out of the class! haha

Yup, very expensive. Unless your made of money don't buy an Apple laptop unless your using it for work, otherwise it's just an overpriced toy. Apple hardware is very high quality compared to average PC hardware and there is a reason it's priced the way it is. It's a premium product, just like the MS Surface and Surface Book. They are priced the exact same.. if not worse.

Although I think the macbook air is a good value for an average person who only browses the internet and uses office, but so is the basic surface 4 for those tasks.

Nah, holiday doesn't effect it. Corporate was here for 1 week and they just added more bs to my workload. Sometimes it can be difficult to be a Manager. There's a girl i work with that will be on leave soon for 3 months because she's pregnant. So i have to interview and bring in a temp soon, just for a few months.. It's gonna be a pain in the ass.

That does sound stressful. Hang in there! It makes your time off all the better too. I try to take care of all chores on Saturday so I can relax on Sunday. Of course things don't always go according to plan. Gotta make the best of out free time though. It's too short!

Status update on the macbook. Really beautiful machine. Now I understand why people say they are worth the money. You don't really understand until you have your own. Of course it takes getting used to OS X if you've never used it before, but that's not a problem for me.

Really glad i went with the more powerful 15in model. It's definitely on the hefty side, but, amazing screen space, amazing speakers, and quite powerful. I'm really happy with the purchase.

Here's a basic rundown of all the shows I'm watching so far:




- The Flash season 2: I was afraid that introducing the multi-verse would make this lose focus, I'm glad it is not.
- Arrow Season 4: So far, a major improvement over season 3's tired Dark Knight-esque act.
- Gotham season 2: I feel like this series is still suffering from an identity crisis, it trying to be three things (Batman origin story, mob drama and police procedual), it never does all three well, I would have given up on it if it wasn't for Nygma and Penguin. The Batman origin story had me interested early on but right it's become stagnant again. Bruce Wayne doesn't seem like a particularly interesing character at this point and right now it just feels like the main storyline from S2 is almost over;

Go for it. Even if it doesn't work out, you've tried.

I'm currently at the stage of going back into education. I don't have bad grades as such, I just finished college and wasn't sure what to do next. Took 2 years out and just worked. I regret it now. I'm not sure where it's come from as such, but the last few months I've had an incredible drive in to do far better. I haven't even started a course as such yet (they had already started), but I'm going out my way to learn what I can from books/Internet etc in preparation.

I think my current job (very basic) has got to me. I keep looking for better jobs, but I keep getting the same responses. I just want to do so much more with myself and I refuse to sit in that sort of job level for much longer. I just sit on break at work with others and they all seem content and I'm wondering why? Surely they want more then this? Surely they realise this job is nothing compared to what's out there?

I may seem a bit greedy etc, but I just have too much ambition to be happy with this life right now.

If it takes care of the bills and puts food on the table, i don't really care if i enjoy it or not. It's a very stressful job, considering how many positions i take on, but i think it's worth it.

I dont think most people who work in the corporate world ever saw themselves becoming a corporate head. For most people though, it is like you said, it pays the bills. A lot of corporate jobs pay really well too, allows you to buy stuff like fancy cars. Some people do really well in corporate jobs and some don't.


I guess it's up to the individual person to decide. Everyone is different. If someone loves corporate jobs, then that's great for them. For someone who doesn't though, do you go the route with more money (corporate) and work jobs you aren't particularly fond of your whole life, or do you follow your dreams (and make less money) doing something you really like? A web developer can make a good living, but they'll never be making corporate president type salary for example no matter how hard you work or how great your work is. Unless you start your own company.

Yeah i know what you mean. If i knew what i wanted to do, meaning i had a "dream" job, i probably wouldn't pursue it. When i was younger i wanted to be an audio engineer. I ended up meeting my wife in college when i was about 1 semester away from transferring and that pretty much changed my plans. We got married and she got pregnant about 1 year after that. It was definitely a wake up call for me. Pursue this "dream" career, or get my shit together and do something with my life now. Do i regret it? Not in the slightest. My daughter is the most important person in my life. For the sake of keeping my family happy, i don't mind being miserable at work. I just feel like that's a part of life. My father being an immigrant. He always wanted me to use my mind at work, rather than work a labor intensive job, and that's what i'm doing.

I happened to install W10 on my PC only, everyone else is using W7, haha.

How you liking Windows 10, bro?

It's not bad. I feel like my PC is running smoother. I like being able to customize my start menu and using Cortana is pretty cool too.

Reading some comments on n4g.com some people actually think this is being backed by SEGA, or they have inside people who believe that they are getting back into hardware... Unbelievable.

My issue is that JK just did a poor job describing the character in the books, so when that door was open she just figured "fuck it" and went with it because it would get more of a reaction than just casting another white actress as Hermione and remaining consistent with what we saw in the movies, illustrations, video games, and even JK's own early sketches of the characters. Meanwhile, she clearly mentioned characters who were black in the books. So its not as though she was one to leave race ambiguous, asian, indian and black characters were clearly mentioned.

And no, I'm not against her casting a black actress in the play because of race, I'm against it for consistencies sake. If she wants strong black characters, instead of retconning them in because she failed at describing a character after 7 books she should create new strong black characters.

Exactly! She's now come out and said she never described Hermione as white despite in PoA it clearly states Hermione is. During the time travelling she says: (I'm paraphrasing) Hermione's white face stuck out in the forbidden forest. JK is clearly just pleasing the PC types with this.

I couldn't give a hoot what colour who is, but as you said, you don't try and change it after its already happened like George Lucas does. At least with the dumbledore is gay remark it sort of made sense as he and Grindelward were known to be very close in their teens.

I don't like it when writers do that too. Rather than create more compelling black characters in comics, movies, etc. They just replace them with previously white character roles.

I finally made up my mind. I'm gonna get a Playstation 4 for Christmas. Why, you ask?

Reason Number 1: Most of my friends are going to get one;
Reason Number 2: As of right now, the Playstation 4 exclusives are far more appealing;
Reason Number 3: To the same argument, most of the major third-party titles will be out on Xbox One and PS4 all the same;
Reason Number 4: Retrocompatibility was a good move for Microsoft, but really if you can keep your Xbox 360 around there's no real need to wait around for Microsoft to update the compatibility list for Xbox One;
Reason Number 5: It's water under the bridge, but MS really made a first bad impression on their E3 reveal for the Xbox One;

Few days back I think I came close to losing my license... Went for a drink with my friends at the pub like most Fridays, I had two pints over the course of about 4 hours because I knew I'd be driving. So I'm driving home and about half a mile from my place and I start to feel the tiniest bit tipsy, hardly noticeably but it's there... Why? Then it dawns on me I've basically skipped every meal since breakfast so the alcohols got nothing to soak it up... Oops! I'm close to home on a back lane so I slow down and head on. Then around the next corner... A bloody police check, they're stopping everyone... Just my luck!

Police guy knocks on my window.
'This is a routine drink driving check, have you had a drink today?'
'Yes.'
The cop sticks his head in my window, 'Pull over, I'm going to have to breathalyse you.'
So at this point I'm pretty worried, it doesn't help that my friend beside me is absolutely wasted... The policeman is a cocky bastard and he thinks he's got me too...
'I smell alcohol, I think you're drunk,' he says, examining a crack in my wing mirror as I get out of the car. (Like that before I got the car, I've never so much as scratched the paintwork.)
'That's my friend you smell, I'm not drunk,' I say. But I'm suddenly worried I won't pass the test and the cop can tell, he's looking as smug as a pig in shit.
'If you don't pass this, you'll lose your license,' He assures me with an air of confidence.
So I blow into the machine and for whatever reason it doesn't register.
'If it fails to register three times, or you refuse to blow, or you fail this I'm arresting you, you know?' He says, loving it. He knows in his heart he's already got me. So I blow again, second times a charm. We both stand watching the screen in tense silence as it analyses... My heart is thudding, I'm pretty sure his is too...

GREEN! PASS! FUCK YOU I WIN!

The cop is visibly upset. He tells me I must be stupid for drinking and driving...
'I'm under the limit, I'm fine,' I protest.
'NO, THERE IS NO SAFE LIMIT.' He knows he has lost, I've poured a bucket of ice water on his arrest boner.
'So... I'm free to go?'
'Go straight home and to bed,' he commands.
'Na, the night's young I might head into town.' I lie as I get back into the drivers seat. I look at my mate, a silent celebration passes between us... Eyebrows wiggling like excited maggots.
'Merry Christmas.' I say to the cop as I roll up my window. He does not reply. And we're away, off into the night, Bonnie and Clyde!


Anyway... the moral of the story is... Eat before you drink and get behind a wheel, even if you only have a pint... It was a honest mistake and it almost cost me my license... But also don't let power tripping coppers punk you.

I never got the taste for the stuff. Remember when I was a bit younger and trying different drinks. They all tasted awful to me.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: Sharky on December 29, 2015, 06:58:59 am
I don't love the taste of alcohol either really, I do like a Guinness, from time to time. Most drinks are piss, but so are most sodas to me. I think as a kid, you drink with friends because it's 'cool' and being drunk feels fresh and new when you're a teen; it's the first rebellious act. It also dispels awkward teen situations, aids in making new friends, talking to girls and so on.

When you get older, drinking is almost a nostalgic thing, the taste, to me brings back loads of memories of good times and old friends. It's associated with having fun, freedom and youth- for those of us who drank as teens anyway. I think this is why social drinking is far more popular in Europe than in the USA. It is not at all uncommon to find people in the USA who don't drink at all, perhaps because the law states you must be 21 and so for many when they finally try it as an adult they don't have those nostalgic connections and see it for what it really is.

That said, some people just really like the taste, there are a few drinks I really do enjoy, but let's face it, none are as good as tea, coffee or banana milkshake. ;D

I think the term is alcoholic. J/K :D

On the odd occasion I really enjoy drinking alone, if I drink alone I am usually drinking to be drunk, not to enjoy the flavour or anything. I just get the hankering for a bit of drunk me time... It helps that I tend to like my own company.

Ehh i lied, i do enjoy the occasional beer, but never get drunk. I haven't gotten drunk in years, last time was probably when i was 18, at a party.

Every once in a while, i'll watch a hockey game at a local bar with friends and enjoy a beer or two. Typically when the wife is out doing something.

But yeah, i agree with Sharky. Drinking does work the nostalgic factor in a way.

I think if 'A New Hope' came out today everyone will complain that nothing really happen. Which is true, I think people have nostalgia for that movie due to it being a part of a trilogy. They saw all three and judged it. Let's be honest, most of us here weren't around when they came out in the cinema.

I think judging the Disney films as bad due to the FIRST of the three movies is a bit stupid. Honestly this is one of the first 'trilogy' movies that made me want more and satisfied with what happen. I feel like movies like 'The Hobbit' left a terrible taste in my mouth with it comes to trilogies.

Damn, it was a great ride. Some amazing shots in this movie, the light saber battles being more gritty was good too. I thought the prequels' spins and stuff was way too fake.

One more thing I like about these movies, we finally have DANGER and likable characters. The prequels really lacked that: the characters that were introduced where badly written so you didn't care if they died (cuz they will stop talking finally) and the ones that you did care about because they came from the older movies wouldn't die cuz they can't. Sorta made the movie feel less powerful. I feel bad for Lucas, really hard to do 'past' stuff.

While the new ones anything can happen. Also love that the dialogue in this movie is very toned down and not over explainy. I hated that in the prequels.

My pet Black Bird 'Jerk-Bird' died today... I found him a decade ago, when he was still pink and featherless, he had fallen from his nest onto the road. I took him home, hand fed him worms and he lived in a cage I built for him. I was the first one to pick him up and 10 years later he died in my hands. I'm not sad or anything, it was good to give him a life.

I just had the most bizarre moment of the day: I doing my afternoon jogging, I stop by a vending machine to drink some soda and I decide to take a leak in the train station bathroom. Just so happens another guy is there and he starts chatting with me as I'm drying my hands on the blow dryer. After a brief conversation I start walking away, put on my headphones, I go up the stairs, I notice the guy is still following me and he's trying to chat again. At this point, I just give him a handshake, try to say to goodbye to him, but he's still talking about me, trying to be ubber friendly (I have no idea what he's getting at), he's pointing to his car and then he says I'm well endowned. I get a little freaked out and after a few seconds, he finally gives up, says his goodbyes and takes off. So I start jogging again and then I had to stop at least four times to finally put the pieces together: the guy had a very good haircut, stylish clothes, drove an expensive Audi and worked in the entertainment business.




Long story short, a gay guy tried to hit on me at the train station. I feel so weird and confused right now...

Think it's just a generational thing really. When you're a kid, everything is exciting and new, but as you get older you realise a lot of these things aren't that new and as more bands etc arrive in the same vain, you just start to roll your eyes at them. Some do deserve credit of course, but it's difficult to see what's good and what's just nostalgia talking.

When you're a teen, it's normal to be negative about these things as reality has hit you. But, when you get a bit older, you just stop caring and focus on the stuff you enjoy instead.

Dude totally ignoring me, so I follow him out and he goes to shake my hand (???). I pointed out my car and told him I was well endowed and the dude acts all freaked out. Like, I tell everybody I got a nice car and big dick, but he seemed to take it personally. Ah well...

Something really sad happened and I'm totally bummed out,

An old Irishman named Jim has died. I put it that way because really that's what Jim was to me. An old man, dressed a bit like a scarecrow, always carrying a bag of something or other... Jim has been walking past my parents house since long before I was born. He lived alone in rundown old building not far from my place. His passing by was as regular as clockwork and was a familiar, oddly comforting sight all around the parish we shared.

Whenever I got the chance to speak to him, Jim was a bit eccentric to say the least, but an incredibly intelligent man. He was up to date with the world events and he had taught himself multiple languages. He was a good laugh too.

He would often speaking to himself as he walked by and I wonder if it was out of loneliness. He had no living relatives, no wife, children and as far as I knew not many friends, but perhaps that's the way he liked it. Still, it seems sad to died alone.

R.I.P Anthony James (Jim) Walker, I barely knew you and yet I feel my world is a far dimmer place without you.

Nah, friends can be great, but I usually find its people in general that make things needlessly difficult. It's the sort of people in the work place who aren't good at anything, so they create new rules to make things "better" when in actual fact, they're just making it worse for everyone else. The sort who create pointless loops to jump through. Them or those who seem to just go out of their way to make your life difficult.

I have no time for them sort of people.

Yeah having good people around is nice.

But I get what you mean. It makes me wonder, you cant expect all people to follow the same kind of concept of good behaviour. I mean what would be the motivation to not be a jackass if it helps achieving your selfish goals? Some people are only pleasant to others if it benefits themselves, or if they're dependent on the person. Im just thinking that its expected for "people" to be like that when there's never a common ground of morality, and even thats subjective. At least I do feel like we're losing it more and more lately.

Life is super stressful, and usually because of people, but without people and a modern day organized society life would be a lot harder in a different way. Rather then stressing out about other people and jobs, we'd be stressing out about finding enough food to survive and having to kill stuff by yourself, also defending yourself cause there'd probably be other people that want to kill you for survival reasons.


Life is what you make of it. You literally got the freedom to whatever you want. Not all everything is a good choice, but in the end no one is stopping you from making a life destroying decision such as blowing all your money on gambling or drugs.


Smart people learn from the stressful parts of their life and use that knowledge to make life better for themselves. Anything is possible if you have your mind set and the motivation to keep going despite all the setbacks you might face.

Yup, well said.

Honestly im fine with whatever as long I have an income. Like Tad said, its easier when you just avoid annoyances (people). Also patience and being able to keep your cool during stress moments can help.

I have been without a job for a while but the outlook is not looking too bad. Hope things go well

This whole attack helicopter thing is stupid.

But worst of all is the "offended by support" mentality of this bullshit PC society. I'd love to see any trans/pan/multi-gender/sexual/fluid person that actually took offense at a tweeted meme reference to an ancient satire reply to an ancient thread on a videogame board. It's all people pointing out that it's offensive, but is ANYONE actually offended by it?


Grow a pair.

And if any intelligent transgender person reads this, please don't take offense as none is intended

Edit: upon re reading this comment I think I may have come off as inconsiderate, so just to clarify my true feelings: any person can be a stupid ass. Trans, gay, hetero.. This is not the issue. It's an escape goat that people use to pile up and complain. The whole post is directed at those people

Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: George on February 26, 2016, 05:41:19 pm
I don't think its a insult, its just people not really understanding the point of 'Black Lives Matter' and changing it to be cute. The facts are, black people have been treated lesser than humans and no one listens to them. Sure, its not as bad as it was 40 years ago, but you got to understand they where being fought OPENLY by Police back then with segregation. Now they are being killed unarmed in the streets and the cops get away with it.

So yes, I don't see a issue with the movement. If anyone is being 'PC' is people that use 'All Lives Matter' as a way to downplay their message.

Bit of a tricky one as nostalgia plays a huge role in this, but I am interested in your opinions.

Basically, here in the UK there's a TV show called "Back in time for the weekend" that has a family spending a week in each decade starting from the 50s. Their house gets redecorated, they have to use the technology, wear the clothes, do the activities etc of that decade. Everything! They then give their opinion on each decade before moving to the next.

They've just gone past the 90s and as that's when I grew, I decided to take a trip down memory lane through youtube. Comparing it to now and...well. My first thought was what the hell happened to cartoons? Seems like the great Saturday morning cartoons has completely died. There's literally nothing buy "reality" TV and friends for kids like shows now? :/

Then there's the social aspects. In the show, it brought back memories of going out and playing etc. Fast forward to now and that seems to have completely gone. If you're wondering, I'm basing this on parents I know, but it seems everyone's too scared or they've got a ridiculous amount of homework to do. I dunno...It just sort of hit me that a big part of childhood has died now.

Yep. Happens here in Portugal as well.
TV is directed at old people, playing in the street is a big no-no (unless it's for playing football), no cartoons..

Truth is, nowdays kids gather at home. Bringing friends home was an event when I was a kid, kids I know do this regularly, seldom feel the need to play outside.
Also, the internet is the main entertainment source, even for little kids. They watch cartoons there (spongebob, for example). There are also cable channels for cartoons like Cartoon Network


Basically, habits changed, but kids will always have fun. Just not like we did, same way our parents thought our generation was miserable and doomed.
Homework is a bitch today, but it all comes down to parents actually caring about their kids' needs and wants, or caring more about their self-assurance that they are good parents.

I know a couple that spent 600 euros on a vaccine for their baby of a rare virus that you can only catch on northern countries (where they have no plans of going in the next....94 years), also no one was allowed to touch or kiss the baby. How do you think that kid will develop?

I see. Seems a shame really. I feel really lucky to have grown up when I did now as I had far more freedom.

To me, it feels like the 90s had the best of the best world's. I had the freedom of running around like they did in the 80s, while kids TV was actually getting good. Rugrats, Recess, the simpsons in their prime, hey Arnold, doug, the crazy of Power Rangers, Pokémon, Harry Potter, Star Wars re released etc. That's not to mention games!

Heh, that show I was talking about has now finished and I think you are right. I don't think it was just that of course, as there was a certain element of naivety and blindness to the dangers of the world, but I do think as a society we have become very suspicious and aware, which has made us inadvertently close ourselves away from the world in a way we never used to. 

Technology has also played it's part in that too, but I think a lot people lean on that as an excuse as to why people are more closed off. The show talked about this and their concerns, but I have to say, it's down to the person to be responsible at the end of the day. I love technology of course, but there are days etc where I can go without checking emails, phone, TV etc. It's only since I moved to the suburbs I kinda felt closed off.

Not surprised Bat vs Sup has landed with a thud. It sounded like a bad idea the second I heard it was being made and once I saw the trailer, I thought it looked hilariously bad.

I'm not sure what to make of audience views, Barry. People seem to think Jurassic World was good, but I can pick that movie apart easily. I mean, I get you need to suspend reality in Jurassic World, Hollywood blockbusters and comic book heroes etc, but the core story still needs to be good.

I bought a 720p 42" plasma way back when. My research found that at 42", a 720p TV is pretty much the same as a 1080p when sat at the proper viewing distance. Also, plasma's are not manufactured as much anymore, and they have some of the best black levels. The recent Godzilla on a Plasma looks so inky black, it's lovely.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: crackdude on April 15, 2016, 11:55:02 am
Yea. I was split between a 48" Samsung and a 55" LG IPS panel.
I read that the IPS screens don't achieve true blacks, only very dark grays. Personally, that irks me. I went with the 48" Samsung as it seems to have very superior picture quality. It's still mid-low range, so it was pretty cheap (450e) and in a couple years I'll get an high end 55" OLED or something (if I don't go broke by then)

I'd love to have a good quality plasma. I hear that you can still get them for an affordable price in the US and UK. Here in Portugal it's impossible really, they are either very old SD models or very expensive imported HD models. We have a very very tiny market for high quality displays.

Post by: Barry the Nomad on June 27, 2016, 10:48:27 am
Mega Visions Magazine is a risky venture, both for backers and for those running it. A digital only magazine focused on a company like SEGA – which is far smaller than they were 15 years ago – is already targeting a very small and niche market. A paywall for digital content that is restricted to e-reader applications is an even smaller and niche market. Several SEGA fan sites exist online, outputting free content and releasing news and interviews as they are new and relevant (SEGAbits, SEGA Driven, Dreamcast Junkyard, SEGA Nerds, several Sonic focused sites). There are also several general retro gaming sites out there (HG101, Retro Collect, Racketboy) offering free content on a regular basis. You also, of course, have all the mid-level and big name commercial sites outputting news and original content. As for magazines, there is the excellent UK Retro Gamer magazine and the so-so Retro Videogame Magazine – both physical and covering SEGA happenings while also covering all other corners of gaming because why would they focus on one single company that is now just a third party developer and publisher. So I have to ask: Why report SEGA news and feature original content on a bi-monthly basis behind a digital magazine paywall?

On the topic of digital: Why is it that the Kickstarter description speaks to the nostalgia of having physical SEGA magazines, but the final product is not physical? Also, isn't it kind of deceiving that every tier after the $10 level omits the "digital" wording and claims to be "18% off the newsstand price" despite the product being digital and the magazine never being available on physical newsstands?

The Kickstarter description has the audacity to name drop The Official Dreamcast Magazine in its opening sentence, but Mega Visions itself only has ODCM designer Kevin Convertito as a consultant, and the examples shown of Mega Visions are a far cry from what ODCM looked like. ODCM was great because of its team, which Mega Visions does not have. Having a former designer who is probably just seeing the pages and giving some advice does not an ODCM successor make.

It is worth noting as well that the magazine's Art Director Kopke left SEGA Nerds before the Kickstarter went live and has since not shown any support for the magazine, leading me to wonder if he is even a part of the team any more or if his credit is due to Mega Visions retaining some of his art (logos, drawings) after his departure. I also have to point out that much of Mega Visions aesthetics are not original. Mega Visions = SEGA Visions, the tagline "Mega Visions Does." = "Genesis Does." Very little originality and no real look that makes the magazine its own.

There are also many questions about the quality of the writing. SEGA Nerds can be very hit or miss when it comes to the quality of their content. One writer, who the editor-in-chief of the magazine believes to be hilarious, has been given "free reign" in Mega Visions. Here is an example of this writer's work: http://www.seganerds.com/2014/10/31/one-on-one-with-the-requiem-bayonetta/ (http://www.seganerds.com/2014/10/31/one-on-one-with-the-requiem-bayonetta/)
He primarily writes sophomoric fake interviews loaded with jokes about women and his and the character's sexual orientations. The jokes are horrible and the content adds absolutely nothing to the site or fandom as a whole. Read that whole "interview" and then let it soak in that this is writing that the editor-in-chief of Mega Visions believes to be high quality and this is somebody that has been given free reign. Would you really want to pay money for something like this?

Other staff members for Mega Visions have not written for Nerds for months, even years, and seem to be on the team simply because of their association with Nerds. Can such a team really be trusted to hit deadlines for a bi-monthly magazine? Other members were seemingly added because of their social media reach. A savvy tactic, as it promotes the magazine more, but I have to question if members were picked based on the quality of their writing or how many twitter followers they have.

I have many other questions, such as why are the Kickstarter tiers for ads so expensive when the readership is so small. The $13,000 goal divided by the standard $20 subscription price equals 650 readers. I know this is not how the end result will work out, should it be funded, but I also know that this is a high estimate for what their potential first year readership number would be. As of this moment a $250 half page ad sold and a $1000 full page ad sold. The total to date is $4,815 and ads sold total $1,250, so 26% of their current total is from two ads while their current number of potential subscribers is 145. Should more ads sell, which are the higher tiers, more of the total will be coming from ads while the readership remains low. It just seems like a broken system to me that has not been thought through.

Thankfully, the Mega Visions team have posted a helpful FAQ answering all these questions
: http://www.megavisionsmag.com/pages/faqs/ (http://www.megavisionsmag.com/pages/faqs/)


Hilariously, I posted the above link because even a week in to the campaign it was dummy text. Thankfully they updated it, but the answers are not what backers will want to hear.

Here's a novel idea:
Make a magazine which is literally released with a 20 year delay, and with the power of hindsight write articles and share "news" tidbits on the best games "coming out".

The best magazine ever, 20 years too late

Moody, don't worry about writing.
You're in a tough place right now. People will say you need to stay positive, but you really don't. Because deep down you know no matter what happens you will come out on top if you do what's right, step by step.

I know I'm a million miles away, but be sure to PM me if you ever need anything. I'll do my best in whichever capacity I can.

Moody, if writing this out or speaking to us helps, by all means go ahead. I hope things get better for you soon. I really do.


Seems as though the whole world has gone crazy at the moment. All these horrific killings :(

Sorry to hear about your troubles, dude. Hope everything turns out for the best. ;)


This is kinda of a stupid thing to rant about but I think I finally had my moment of clarity with smarthphones. I am done with entry level no-name brands. This time for real. I can't even trust the middle range devices for said no-name brands anymore. I've had one too many bad experiences since my Jiake Find 7 (which was arguably the best smartphone I had in years) died out.


And here's the crazy thing: I actually do research on the devices I'm buying. I look up reviews, I read a lot of stuff online, I watch Youtube videos of unboxing stuff and after all that's said and done, I feel like the model I get doesn't work as well.


Right now, the device I'm using is a Elephone P6000 Pro. Great battery life, damn good phone all around but it's main camera died in just two months and it's been frustrating as heck. I ordered a spare camera and I'll replace that part. If it's still not working, I'll just wait a few months so I can invest on a higher end model. Namely an Asus smartphone or Huawei (NO SAMSUNG, I HATE THEIR UIs)

Well, I guess I still got a long way to go if I want to be a decent smartphone / tablet repair man:


- I have successfully replaced the rear camera on my current smartphone without much of an hassle;
- However I failed miserably in replacing an IPS screen of an old smartphone I had, rendering it completely useless;


This time I got the idea of ressurecting my grandma's Nexus 7 tablet since the battery for it is now dirt cheap. I ordered the part. Let's see if I can do this.

So 2 Saturdays ago we found out that my bro's storage unit had been broken into, only 2 weeks after we had helped him move his stuff into it.(Pretty sure someone saw us moving his stuff in because even the cop mentioned that a 2 week break in was a record for her)

A ton of retro games and consoles were stolen along with other electronics. As far as he can recall, he lost 120 SNES games(which includes tons of rare games: Chrono Trigger, FF Games, etc)70-80 NES games in a silver briefcase, 2 Turbo Grafx 16 consoles, Virtual Boy, XBOX One, PS4, 40" HD TV, 20" Computer Monitor, a custom built $1700 PC, and 2 Atari Computer Consoles..

We called the cops and an officer wrote a basic report of everything that he knew was missing. A few days later a guy on Facebook is selling a bunch of expensive retro SNES games. We though, ok, this may be a lead. Until the guy posted a SNES cart of Ranma 1/2 of which my bro recognized. The cart had 3 grease stains in specific locations that sort of set it apart from the others. My bro went through his old photobucket images and there it was. A picture of the Ranma 1/2 cart which he had taken in 2010, with the same grease stains.

That was basically the proof that we needed that this fucken asshole had stolen my bro's stuff. We contacted a detective earlier last week and have basically been waiting since. At first they didn't believe that it was the same cart, but after my bro explained it to them in email with more details, they agreed it was it. This week we find out that the case had been thrown onto someone else's lap.. Then we were told that they had made contact with the thief. After numerous phone calls that went directly to voicemail through the entire week, they tell us that the guy is refusing to meet up, and it has to be done before 5:30 because the detective is off duty after that time..

The asshole started posting more of his shit on a local craigslist, Virtual Boy, 2 Turbo Grafx(so now we are 100% sure it's him)so we managed to get his cell #. My bro has now contacted him advising that he's interested in buying some games, etc.

So now it's basically a waiting game. If my bro can set something up, the cops will then be able to help us bust this guy. It's been an absolute fucking nightmare waiting on detectives to try to solve this. It's incredible how difficult it is to bust someone for stealing even though you have evidence to prove it.

So they caught the asshole that stole my bro's stuff. They set up a sting at a coffee bean and nabbed em. Claims he bought the items from some dude in front of a Gamestop. They were able to recover some nes, gameboy, snes games, along with his virtual boy and turbo grafx consoles. There are still over $1000 of Playstation games missing and a few others.

The kid that was selling the games is going to cooperate with the cops(cause he has no choice) and try to setup the guy that supposedly sold em the games. We're hoping to recover more stuff, but who knows at this point. So long as someone gets busted for this and my bro gets some stuff back, that's all that matters.

he probably sold em on ebay.   If you aren't able to retrieve all of it, then sue.

Sadly Shun-Di is right. It's great they managed to get him and what they could. All the best to your brother, pirovash88.

It must be utterly devastating. :(

Thanks Shun-Di and Tad, i appreciate it. He was devastated for sure, but he's better now that we were able to catch one guy. The day it happened was really hard on him though, that was over 20+ years of collecting that went down the drain.

I will advise him to sue if the other games don't turn up though. The guy admitted to selling some of his rare games like FF3, Chrono Trigger, and EVO through Craigslist. That's easily like $400 between 3 carts.

My HP laptop just decided to die out on me. For real? My Toshiba laptop by comparison, lasted 5 full years. Way lower hardware specs, in context.

I'm done with HP, I'm getting a meatier Asus Laptop and that's that.
Title: Re: Post your current thoughts thread
Post by: max_cady on September 30, 2017, 08:20:36 am
Well, this is awkward...


So I decided to pick apart the HP laptop so I could get the disk, turns out it's working fine... the f***ing power strip that attached the power button to the power supply was disconnected at the tip where the power button connected, the wires were just loose. Kinda random but whatever...


Who cares, I'm setting up the ASUS laptop right now and HP is going to find a new owner... ON EBAY!

Nice, glad you were able to get it fixed, at least you can sell it and buy a new one!

I gave a few weeks notice at my job yesterday. I've been with this company for 5 years and was relatively happy working here. Aside from the daily stress, it's been a great place to work. I found out in June that the company was closing by the end of the year. Our entire sales force was fired that same month and i was essentially put into the position of interim CEO/Operations Manager. I've been trying to make things work with 2 temps and a warehouse staff.

A company closer to LA reached out, offered me a remote gig and a bigger salary, so i had to take that chance. My boss wasn't happy about me leaving, but i honestly don't care. There is no future for me here, it's time to move on.

Lots of achievements that may seem normal for a lot of people but for me they were kind of getting me back to sanity. Got a new job, got to know great people, my girl and have been living in a better place. It all came together in 2017 for some reason while before every year was just another year of me having sort of a good time, playing video games but nothing noteworthy to mention. I'm 27 now and I guess it comes at some point for everyone at a different time.

It never hurts to update your resume, bro.

Been at my job for a little over 3 months now. It's certainly getting better, but days are long. Can't complain though, takes care of my family and the benefits are good.

Totally... For one thing, less is more. I erased a ton of information that was unnecessary and tweaked it a little bit. Also I cleaned up my LinkedIn profile. Which helped a little bit too. So far so good...
