I kind of feel the same way. A person should not be judged by the actions of their parents. But I also think it makes for a really cool game mechanic. The problem is when it starts to become a little too... human. When human attributes get blamed on genetics, its weird. Whereas if it were a breeding game about... bears, and the bear breeds changed speed strength etc, I feel like it wouldn't be as weird because its a little like how genetics actually work? (I am not a scientist, and did not take even basic biology in high school, so this statement is most likely very wrong)

I've never really been in a relationship*, so I don't really have any practical advice. All I can say is, I'm sorry to hear it, and I hope things get better for you. *Edit: This isnt strictly true. There was one, but I fucked it up kind of I think. I'm still not sure what happened there. But its not really fair to say there wasn't a relationship there. So...I don't know.

And go back around to poop.

That's how I feel in real life. And in most places I go online. I haven't really been here long enough to feel like that's happened yet, though. That said, I don't feel irritated by anyone here. In fact, coming here is genuinely one of the best parts of my day. Especially in this section of the forums (the rest I feel like I need to be respectable and on topic and add to the discussion, here I don't feel that pressure, and its nice).

I just got back from playing Journey online with other people. I didn't realize until the end that there were multiple people I was connecting with, for some reason I thought you get connected with one person for the entire... journey. It felt kind of weird because I spent a lot of the early game just sort of rushing through while the other player(s?) were going off and getting stuff. But later on I was sticking close to the other player(s) no matter what. I started feeling like I was getting closer to the other player (again, at this point I thought it was the same person I had been with since the start...)

Well I didn't really have a choice, I didn't have an internet connection at the time. (Hear that Microsoft?) Anyways, there was no AI partner, you just go through it alone.

I actually played it offline, so I have no idea. Would playing it online with other people have actually changed the experience that much?

I just showered with my glasses on the entire time. I am not a bright man.

I think the big difference is that the XBone needs to connect every 24 hours. My iPod Touch needs to go online once to get the game(s), but after that I never need to connect to the internet ever again. I have gone several weeks at a time without Internet before, and if that happens with the XBone then I suddenly have no console.

My reaction to hearing about all of this XBone stuff is as follows:

Journey: So yeah, I just played Journey the other day. It was... a thing. I don't know what I think of it. I think part of it is that this game has been hyped to an insane degree online, I've never heard a bad word about it and I've heard so many people tell me its a masterpiece, it's emotional and intense and brilliant... but I just didn't feel that.

There's an Idle Thumbs Steam group? ...and... Joined. I'll try and be on during the events, but I can't guarantee anything.

I'm not going to lie, I like this idea. I would watch it.

... "We are sending an agent over to pleasure you while we look into the issue. Also have some money to make up for the disappointment. And hey, while we're at it, we'll have the agent bring chocolate chip cookies as well." (Probably not, huh. I suck at guessing this stuff.)

-Kings 2:23 While there is a lot of arguing about its morality and its historical legitimacy, I have to admit, I kind of like reading the bible once in a while, there's nothing like it.

Soul Calibur 3. That game could have been great if people could keep an uncorrupted save file for more than a couple of months.

Then we'll start our own church! With hookers, and blackjack!

The music as Sonic starts to drown. Every ounce of pain, desperation, and fear that appear when Sonic gasps for his final breath are concentrated and bottled in pure musical form. I really don't like the idea that people are looking for me... until I have a good hiding spot and know they (most likely) won't find me. So, say... Metal Gear Solid, I get spotted by a guard. Ohshitohshitohshit... Aaaand I'm in a locker. Still super nervous, scared I'm going to die. Then the guard looks around the area, goes "Huh, I guess no one's here." And he goes to patroling the area as the alarm timer thing counts down. And as I see him patroling, looking for me, not finding me at all but not really looking hard, I get this insane glee from knowing that I'm just feet away from him and he will never know... It's quite a rollercoaster ride of emotions for me. Oh, and not really "terrify", but a kind of fear: I will never use really good items because I'm afraid I will need it later. One of the most recent manifestations was in The Cave, where I went to extremes to keep a hot dog with me just in case. (It turned out to be useful, so, hey.)

I look at it, and all I can see is the virtual reality living room from "Doug's 1st Movie". ...this is where I would put a picture or video clip to illustrate the part of the movie I mean, but it seems to be something the Internet forgot.

So, the Barenaked Ladies did an AMA on Reddit yesterday. This inspired me to actually check out their music, especially when I realized I had actually heard a few of their songs before. For some reason, growing up I had assumed they were of the ilk of groups like Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit, and that really wasn't my cup of tea, so I stayed away. It turns out I couldn't have been more wrong, and I am really liking what I hear so far.

Id say its a mix of not having seen those movies and still waking up.

...I don't really know what you mean. But this now means I have some movies to check out sometime, so... yay!

That is certainly good news!
