I feel like speaking of anything in general opens up conversation about your penis.
-
I don't know I actually just made all of that up. I don't know what it's like to have sex with a vegan or whether it is a good idea or not. But posting in threads, eh?

The Business Side of Video (Space) Games EXCLUSIVELY ON IDLE THUMBS
syntheticgerbil replied to Henroid's topic in Video Gaming
I mean does this grant Nintendo the ability to force ads on any user's video of them playing a Nintendo product? Or is it a case where if someone opts in to ads on their posted video, the money goes directly to Nintendo if it is IDed as one of theirs? I don't quite understand how Youtube works in response to acknowledging you are posting copyrighted material or not outside of taking it down or removing audio. -

Bravo! -
Having sex with a vegan is one of the grossest things you could do in life.

Well maybe it will convince people to stop putting ads on all of their videos, I don't know. I'm fucking sick of every Youtube video now requiring me to wait for an ad to play when it's often the user reposting someone else's video or putting copyrighted content on display with ads on their own channel. I can't see how this would hurt anyone who legitimately loves throwing Let's Play videos together just for fun. That's how it started in the first place, not for cheap ad revenue. -
I'm sorry but was the goal to make a robot that struggles to shop like a rickety old man? What a complete fail.

Which thread is this again?

I saw Drake at the Hobby airport in Houston in that strange period where he stopped being a Jimmy on Degrassi Next Generation and was just starting his rap career. Thinking about it, he was probably recording with Lil Wayne. All I wanted to do is take one of the wheelchairs from the front door to him, but I'm just not that gutsy. It also would just be confirming that I was watching Degrassi still as a 23 year old male (at that time, I switched to Skins to get my X-treeeeme teen drama fix). Seriously though I've met a few people from the internet and it's been pleasant. One I've been friends with for a while since it turned out he lived in Houston when I did. He and I are both somewhat socially awkward, but I like rambling to fill silences, so I think it helped somewhat early on. Inane small talk and smiles is my usual protocol in new social sitautions. We both moved to Austin around the same times and have hung out more often here. He's a good guy and I'm going to his housewarming party Saturday. Hooray. I don't condone ever listening to Lil' Wayne or Drake. Please don't. -
I could definitely see the improvements, but I was just so bored. Grinding weapons for little reward to 100% through two playthroughs and uninteresting enemies was never tedious, but just so passive. All of the new challenge modes were just a bunch of unremarkable gameplay repetition. I think what killed it for me though was just a complete lack of any kind of story that made any cohesive sense or said I should care about something. It was mostly just a bunch of mock infomercials which was funny about twice, not a dozen times. I suppose Insomniac felt their humor was cute, but just so much snoozing. I don't even know where to begin with that whole unexplained lombax with tits not-girlfriend thing that was going on and just completely unexplained or resolved. Oh well.

The problem with you guys acting all awkward is because you are a stranger to someone who you know of but they do not know of you. The way to solve this is to first get very drunk and speak directly and loudly to the perso. This ensures that they will understand that how fun you are when you talk and know you just as intimately as you know them while you invade their personal space. This works at the dentist. -
Completed Ratchet and Clank Going Commando. What a grind. What a useless garbage story. Definitely a slog compared to the first game. Hope the next one is better.

But then I could never read this for the billionth time: "Please correct me, I won't be offended. Its the only way I'll get better and that's what I want. DISCLAIMER: I'm kidding!"

Nah his name is blank but his description is Toblix.

Custer's Revenge for all three. Now I know what you're thinking in the "quality" department, but those were some exceptionally rendered graphics for the time.
-
Did Toblix make it?
-
Damn it Toblix, you jerk. Although you have a new bee avatar, so it's hard to stay mad.
-
Kingz, if you were looking to move you might even be able to convince them to let you work part time and remotely on a contract basis. But yeah, I'd put up money for a Hobo Lobo Kickstarter.

This thread could have been something but all I do is picture Urkel playing with his penis and I will have nothing to do with that.

The problem with branding it Xbox anything again means people with just call it Xbox forever and we will be forever confused about what system we are talking about exactly. Most people don't expect you to play original Xbox games, but I think the shelf life for the 360 is going to be be milked for 5 more years at least.

I feel like I need to write something here the next time I get drunk, but I usually watch or play something and go to bed when I come home drunk. Look at you guys, you interesting drunks you.

Yeah I don't know, I would count many adventure games I've loved as nonviolent, but it seems some of you feel because you may commit an act of violence to a character or that there is a violent part in the story it constitutes them as violent games, but I'd disagree since like Harvest Moon, that's not often the basis for an adventure game. That's not to say I wouldn't classify some as violent though, Grim Fandango has an end game where you blatantly murder someone. I would never get into Harvest Moon myself, but it was interesting when my girlfriend, who hardly plays games if ever, sunk over 100 hours into Animal Parade on Wii. She kept showing me all the tricks her otter/ferret learned. I think though this burnt her out from ever playing another Harvest Moon ever though. But yeah, there's also some nice puzzle games I wouldn't consider violent, unless maybe you think Dr. Mario throwing a pill on a virus is violent. Wario's Woods both SNES and NES versions were awesome. I even won second place in a competition for Wario's Woods SNES once, 25 WHOLE DOLLARS!

Idle Forums Game Club 2 - Shadow of the Colossus edition
syntheticgerbil replied to Sno's topic in Video Gaming
Erm.. beat this Sunday, but I'll wait for everyone to catch up because as this point I'd rather just talk about the ending.
