    Beautiful sarcasm on so many levels. The icing on the cake is the signature line "Currently Playing: League of Legends..."

    I think you should at least be able to have your body donated to cannibals after you die. When I die I want my body either donated to cannibals or necrophiliacs.

    I'm sure this has been talked about before but I just want to state how douchy I think people are that go around proclaiming they don't watch tv, use the internet, or play video games. This most often comes up when I am first getting to know someone. I maybe tell them about some tv shows I like or some video games I'm into and they respond with a snarky little "Oh, I don't watch tv (or even own one) or do any of that kind of stuff." So I ask them what they like to do and the response is always the same: hiking, volunteering, and church stuff. These are usually people I work with and without fail, each one has turned out to be a major douche who thinks they're better than everyone else. Fuckers.

    I didn't think there was a chance in hell anyone else had ever played that game. I'll never forget getting the final piece to the GWAR tickets and going to the concert at the end. There was a lot of shit in that game that terrified me but the poodle was the worst.

    Somewhat related to this, I always find it funny how seriously people take quotes and hold them to be universal truths. "The grass is greener, etc" "An apple a day, etc" We always tried to make up our own. A couple of mine are: "Instincts don't always lead to survival" "Not everything is due to karma, sometimes it's genetic" It's a pretty fun game. It's surprising how easy it is to come up with a real sounding quote.

    Another message from that stupid sign: "A Bible that is falling apart belongs to someone who isn't" I think the opposite is true.
  7. New Forums! Post feedback, notes, etc here

    Looks like everything's working now after not being able to navigate here for most of the day. False alarm I guess?
  8. New Forums! Post feedback, notes, etc here

    Earlier this morning I lost the ability to navigate to this site from all browsers on my work PC. It's weird because it doesn't bring up the Websense thing indicating that the site has been blocked, it just can't be found. Can still get here from my phone browser though. Weird.

  10. The great Valve re-play

    "We always wanted the headcrabs to be more realistic and be creepy baby heads with tentacles coming out but the technology didn't exist yet. Now that dream can finally be realized in the re-re-re-release of Half Life 2: Dead Space Edition."

    And then he probably thought, "Damn, those kids really were stupid. All just standing there waiting for their turn to be mauled. I'm pretty sure a bear can really only maul one kid at a time." - 1st Corinthians 13:17

    It's been quite awhile. I knew it started with an 'E' though. Thanks!

    That was Ezekiel getting made fun of right? I've used that story when arguing against religious people and they never believe me that the Bible said that. I love using my years of being brainwashed against the very type of people that performed the brainwashing. It blows their fucking minds. "Everything you are about to read is fiction and is to be heard in James Earl Jones's voice" -Genesis 1:1

    1. Circumcision is cutting satan off your penis. 2. Bibles are flammable so make sure you are holding one whenever you sin so God doesn't rain fire down on you from heaven. Also, one day I started randomly finishing every sentence I spoke with a Bible verse. It was fucking hilarious (I thought). For example: 1. I really need to take a crap - John 13:5 2. Hey babe, what's for dinner? - Isaiah 7:4 3. I don't really feel like putting the dishes away - Psalms 20:15 4. Man I drank too much last night and I feel like shit today - Revelations 12:8 Edit: And as a fun challenge, try this out when you are in the middle of a fight with your significant other. It will totally catch them off guard.

    The original one on the NES. Specifically, that giant Samurai boss that I could never get past. But the whole rest of the game too because death was lurking around every corner.
  17. I Had A Random Thought...

    There is this church next to the freeway that I see every morning on my way to work and every evening on my way home. They have a giant sign with random religious messages that they display at all hours of the day in an attempt to brainwash innocent commuters. Here is the message they had just the other day: "Babies are God's opinion that the world should go on" What the fuck are they smoking?

  19. Difficulty and balance in Video games.

    Quick update on CoD WaW. I finally fucking beat that subway mission. Turns out, one of the main guys (Reznov or something) glitched out and had got stuck at the entrance of the subway in his "waving people in" animation. I kept getting to the end of the tunnel and it was just an endless firefight with an objective that said to regroup with my squad. Problem is, since Reznov was stuck at the tunnel entrance it never triggered the final sequence where he unlocks the door. I tried over and over to get him to move and kept restarting my checkpoint but never had any luck. So I finally decided to just restart the level and this time around the objective updated correctly and he moved into the tunnel with us. I must have gotten pretty fucking good at this game because this time I went from beginning to end of this level in about 25 minutes where it had taken me around 2 hours before. I actually got through the whole subway on my first try this time no problem. I fucking hate glitches and I wasted hours of my life. Fuck Treyarch (I need someone to blame).
  20. Difficulty and balance in Video games.

    I read through the earlier posts and I agree with the Halo argument. Halo and Rainbow Six Vegas (although in a completely different way) are probably my top two games for how to do difficulty the right way. They're not perfect but they're leagues ahead of most other games in that department. And yeah, the health thing in Halo is a little bit of a bummer, especially with the knights in Halo 4.

    That's awesome! I hope your brother continues with a speedy recovery and glad to hear people are taking some responsibility for their actions.

    Okay, if puffin penises and penguin assholes aren't sexy I don't know what is. On a related note, is there a subgenre of beastiality that covers flightless birds?
  23. Difficulty and balance in Video games.

    That... is exactly what I did. Found a little outcropping by a building behind enemy lines and just hid there until the chopper arrived. Then threw all my grenades at the line of enemies that had their backs to me, ran past them, picked up the dude and escaped.
  24. Difficulty and balance in Video games.

    Just noticed your edit. I think what you're saying is accurate. It's been several years since I played the original MW but I really don't remember it being quite as frustrating as WaW. The sniper mission was the only super bitch mission in that game that I remember having to retry a bunch of times (the end part where you have to wait for the chopper). And it probably took me somewhere between 60 and 90 attempts to beat the hostage mission at the end in under a minute but it didn't seem that bad because that was only around 1 1/2 hours of attempting it. I seem to remember the teammate AI being a bit better and nowhere near as many grenades getting rained upon me throughout that game. Plus the level design seemed better to me. Yes yes yes yes! 1000 times yes! This perfectly describes my experience with almost every checkpoint. I attempt it and die. Restart, die. Do that a few more times and maybe get a little further but then hit a roadblock. Convince myself that I need to try a new route, die. Try again, die. Do that a few more times and maybe get a little further but then hit a roadblock. Convince myself that I need to go back to my original route, die. Die die die die. Oh my god, made it past that roadblock, oh wait, die. Make it past the roadblock one or two more times and am convinced I'm figuring it out, die each time. Then suddenly every attempt has me dying 30 seconds in. Now I can't even get to that first roadblock any more. What the fuck, I thought I had it figured out? Try several more times, get frustrated and throw all of my smoke grenades, run as far as I can, die. Do the same shit I've been doing this whole time and not even that well because I'm so worn out, get lucky, checkpoint reached!!! I'm elated. I've never been happier to see those two words, and I'm dead again. Then start the whole process over again for the next checkpoint. AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

    Thank you. It feels good to have someone agree with me after the anguish this game has put me through on Veteran. I am also not a big CoD fan but I do like how they control and the high frame rates are nice. Played MW through and enjoyed the rollercoaster ride campaign but didn't get anything more out of it after the credits rolled. Same with MW2. Spec Ops was a fun little diversion in that game but I never had anyone to play it with so I only did a few missions. I told myself I was done with CoD games after MW2 but then saw WaW for $7 last black Friday and couldn't say no. I wish I would have. I can't ever bring myself to quit a game before finishing it and now that I've made it so far on Veteran difficulty I just have to finish it. Good thing my controller throwing/breaking days are behind me because I would be out of controllers by now.
