Intrepid Homoludens

Hey gerbil, have you read my analytical essay on Syberia yet?

You have the option of the game auto-pausing the moment an enemy is spotted. You can also choose to play the combat in real time, or pause it with every single order you issue your characters and party members, which I preferred.

Yeah, I forgot about that option. Fuckity fuck fuck fuck I love the KoTOR series!!!

Huh? You go there? HA!! You studying painting? You know that spray booth on the 3rd floor in the Columbus Drive building? There were stories going around how the security guards would find people having sex there. Which isn't surprising because it's nice and dark, no windows, there was an old ratty sofa, and the loud exhaust fan masked out all the moaning and groaning sounds. Low on funds? Where did you hear that? That's absolute bullshit. SAIC is the richest art school in the Midwest, they got money coming out of their asses. I mean, look at the all the property they own or rent in downtown Chicago! When I used to go there they'd throw 'Welcome Back To School' parties at the local clubs like The Metro or Neo's. Complete with beer and submarine sandwiches! You call that low on funds? HA!

Now that I think about it, I actually hate the idea of having to share a room with someone I've never met, much less know. Even the thought of having to share communal bathrooms freaks me out. This is because when you start college, you are doing it with hoards of others who have just come out of high school, thus moving out from home, from their parents' house, where they grew up. So, their filthy habits come with them, they have to pick up their shit on their own and they're not used to that. And I have to deal with that. I mean, I consider myself relatively tidy, I wash my dishes promptly after using them, I put things away where they belong, my clutter even has some order in it. And what if I ended in a tiny dorm room with some guy whose mother wiped his ass all the way up til he graduated from high school and finally is out on his own in the world? EIW! I have to be witness to his learning to wipe his own ass, dropping used Kleenex tissues on the floor, leaving piles of dirty dishes in the sink til the roaches come, masturbating on MY computer and leaving the used towel on the chair? On top of that, he NEVER changes his bedsheets, and leaves his dirty undershorts in full traffic area alongside his socks which he was worn every single day for the past two week? Excuse me........

KoTOR and KoTOR II allow you to save anywhere at all in the game, even during combat. Also, they auto save when entering new levels or if you yourself haven't saved in the last 15 minutes, whichever comes first.

Knights of The Old Republic and Knights of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. Played them both on Xbox. Total hours combined: 150. Some of the very best gaming moments of my life. I tried playing the original Halo on my nephew's Xbox. I dunno, I can never get used to playing a FPS with a console controller. Why can't I play it with a goddamn mouse/keyboard setup?

Are you trying to come on to me, Schtevan?

You're a profoundly sad case indeed.

I hope you're not shutting yourself up with your Sims as an excuse not to actually LIVE some kind of life outside your house. Believe, real life can be be more fun if you let it.

I kinda miss those horny Italian kids. Actually what I missed most about that dorm in England was the toilet. Man, do you Brits actually have excellent plumbing or was it just that local area? That was the most powerful toilet. It didn't so much flush the water as it practically sucked it down, like a vacuum cleaner. No way anything can ever get clogged. And the toilets were damn loud! "SSSCCCHHHHWWWWSSSSHHHHH!!!!"

I never had a dorm during my art college years at the Art Institute Of Chicago. Which may have to do with the fact that I lived at home in the same city where I schooled , so I simply took the train and bus and all my meals were cooked by my mum (love her!). Hmmm, I guess the only dorm I ever had was at Middlesex Poly (Enfield) in London (outskirts) when I did an independent study there one summer. That little room was great, but more so the campus because it was on the grounds of what used to be Belville Sasoon's huge ass estate (complete with live sheep and their shit on the pasture). It was a trip, 'cause I was an 'indie' and was studying with a group of other American college kids. We had to share the school with bunch of bitch spoiled rich kids around our age whose parents wanted to get rid of them for the summer, and they were total assholes who were mean to the staff. On their final night's stay on the grounds they trashed their dorm hall, and we non-rich kids decided to apologize to the staff and hoped that incident didn't shed a bad light on all Americans abroad. Then this big group of younger Italian kids showed up to rent the dorms during their summer tour, and they were hilarious. They would go into the common bathrooms and make out and either one of us or the staff would catch them adventitiously. Sometimes someone would walk in on two young Italian boys having sex in one of the stalls. Man, they were ALL horny!

Real Life. Drink it in!

D'you think this game deserves the Most Eerily Close To Actual Everyday Reality Ever Award?

Strange, my niece & nephew's box was purchased in Germany, but we haven't had any problems with it at all, even after several straight hours of non-stop gaming (by me of course ).

Hooray for 90 day waranteeeeeeeees!!

This mean that you and Yufster are destined to be inseparable lovers forever and ever?

My sympathies.

So does that mean Richard is an 'overlap'? After all, he's very masculine, has a nice hard bod from all his kayaking, cycling, swimming, benchpressing and being a fitness instructor, but is also the softest pussycat and loves to cook and cuddle. Or am I just one lucky son of a bitch?

Um, no. The research FGM brought forth is not the absolute, it's merely a generalized summary. There are variables all over, but those conclusions are basically more or less true in gender differences. After all, we are still evolving across the board.

You're pathetic.

You want me to 'Likle' Marek?

TORCHED?!!! Oh FUKC THAT SHIT!! I am NEVER getting the PS2 Kate Moss version, period!!!

So Fuzz couldn't just leave it alone after he pressed the standby button? Cuz I know sometimes it can take a minute for systems to go into standby/off.
