    "Chai" is Arabic for tea. To me, it sounds like you're drinking "tea tea". Don't say that out loud if you don't want to get weird looks.

    My real big mistake was letting all the JRPGs and WRPGs pile up, while I don't believe in game burnout, I do believe their length is going to make more critical and likely to quit.

    But I actually feel confident now, not many of the upcoming games seem to interest me and my list of older games I want isn't that big anymore!:tup:

    This post made me list all my RPGs. I have a fairly big list, and you know what? I'll still play them all, and there is a high chance I'll beat them all too. It'll take me a decade or two, but I don't care. I still have a pile I want to get and play.

    I've listed them in this .txt file for your convenience.

    I feel like I miss out on a lot by not having a DS or Wii, because I haven't even started playing the N64 stuff. It's part of why I wish I lived somewhere in Europe or NA, as trying to go the Nintendo route here is simply not worth the hassle of shipping stuff over. I had a hard enough time with PS1 games.

    I've developed a thing for difficult games lately. Not adventure game dream logic hard, but stuff like what Demon's Souls sounds like, where it's always your fault for losing. I need to get around to buying that.

    To be fair, the fight in Phantom Menace is pretty aw

    some

    .

    I distinctly remember finding it boring when I was 10 or 11. I just checked on Youtube, and it's still very off-the-mark for me. The annoying lightsaber bvvv bvvv effect make it sound like a fight between angry bees.

    But that's just me.

    Subbes! No, my earlier comment is something unrelated to Valentine's Day. I used to be fairly terrified of sex (I'd go pale in bio class and stuff), then got comfortable with it and now it amuses me.

    Fuck hospitals though.

    On the other hand, you can get a shitload of reading done.

    Whenever someone says they want TTG to up their games, my brain translates it to: "Screw logical puzzles! I want moon logic! Bring back the honey car stache puzzle!".:getmecoat

    Nah, I mean I wish their games were less buggy and more consistent. Even their great games - Tales, The Devil's Playhouse and Sam and Max Season Two - drag in places they shouldn't (TMI and S2 in the beginning, TDP in the middle; I think the first episode of that one is the best).

    They also have two really good games - Strong Bad and Puzzle Agent (haven't played the second yet, though) - and they both have slight problems that prevented them from eternal greatness.

    Their other stuff varies.

    Oh man, I hadn't even worked condoms or socks into the equation. And beds. The more I think about sex, the more funny it is. And oh man, I'm going to die alone. But I'll probably die laughing.

    Something that's been on my mind lately: if you think about it, kissing is pretty funny, right? I mean, if you just think of it as an action, and then try and take the feelings associated with that action, it's pretty funny. If you got the feelings you get when kissing someone, and were told to try and match those feelings with one action from a list of actions, and, say, you were an alien with no understanding of human emotion, you wouldn't immediately associate those feelings with the act of putting your lips on something and applying a little pressure; this is ignoring the tongue bit, or anything similar.

    And sex is, if you think about it, the art of making someone feel a certain kind of pleasure by understanding how applying certain pressure to certain areas in a specific way, all while saying certain words, with, maybe, the proper mood and lighting, can make them release certain fluids in a way they find relieving. And that's the tender stuff; in actual fucking, all you're doing is slamming one bit against another, switching things when necessary and doing a lot of kissing and grabbing. All of this eventually leads to moaning that stems from equal parts sweet pain and fulfilled desire.

    So why don't feel laugh? I mean, think about it. Sex is one of the most hilarious things in existence. I know I'm mature. I know I'm an adult. But man, lately I have been unable to hold in my laughing. I haven't even been able to kiss someone on the cheek because of this. I think about how ridiculous it is for one second and I immediately double-up. I remember how people look like doing it and I absolutely lose it. I need to get the idea out of my head, but surely I can't be the only one who has ever thought that sex and kissing are funny?

    I sometimes wonder how many people manage to first see Psycho these days without having some sort of awareness of most of the key scenes; that is, how many people are able to experience the same surprises that the original audiences did. It's an almost paradoxical element to it being such a classic.

    It's funny how sheltered people here are in some respects. I watched Casablanca with one of those dudes a while back and he thought it was glorious - he had, however, never heard of it before. The result is that I can genuinely see how well certain things work minus the hype plus the dated film techniques. It can be loads of fun.

    Alas, another one of my friends decided we'd watch Mean Girls the next time we did something similar, and she's taken the initiative of inviting no less than five other girls to help make sure this happens. Oh well. I saw clips of it on Youtube, and it looks kinda funny. I'm more worried about playing host to ~10 people. :fart:

    In :tup: news: I re-watched Hot Fuzz. That is a damn fine film. Like Shaun of the Dead, the script is extremely well-written.

    I also showed Psycho to a couple of friends who are normally averse to black and white films. These two friends are also the perfect audience, gasping in all the right places and going "Ah" and "Oh" when the movie wants them to. They didn't see

    the shower scene coming

    and freaked-out at

    the bit where the private investigator enters the house, looking for mother

    . It was loads of fun all around.

    I bought The Fades (BBC) over the weekend and watched the first episode. I like it, but it's a tad bit cliched so far. We'll see how it goes. It definitely has potential, but there's a few clunkers. Weirdly-cheesy and lazy exposition, for instance.

    It does that really stupid thing that horror films or shows are so fond of, though: a monster running across the camera for no reason other than to make the main character turn around a bit and feel nervous.

    On the other hand, it's properly spooky and the characters seem well-rounded. The acting is mostly good and there's little moments of brilliance throughout. I suggest checking it out.

    In :tdown: news:

    I can not find season two of Community anywhere. Ugh. I caught an episode on TV, though, and it's crazy good.

    I won't pirate, since that means I morally have to buy the DVDs on full price, so I'm crying or something. (I only pirate when I have already bought and am waiting for my crap to arrive during the ocean voyage.) I'm a big fan of the show now. I still find the first episode somewhat painful to watch, and there was one that was rather sub-par, but mostly it has been great.

    Oh man, Speedy. Haha. I don't blame her for being scared.

    Man, that's like the perfect opening for conversation. At that point, you can go no lower, and might as well roll with it.

    Nah, I know this dudette. We hang sometimes; she even doodles in my notebook and scribbles misspelled lyrics to terrible songs. I feel like I'm 14 again. It's still embarrassing though. I'll go say hi tomorrow and see how she reacts.

    says the guy without a hope in the world

    Make yourself a catch, and you won't even need to hope.

    Your avatar makes that comment, like, x10 better.

    I've got a shitload to deal with too, but I thought I'd relay this funny story that just happened to me: a friend and I were talking about acronyms and I mentioned the most ridiculous one I know (Trails in the Sky), only for my friend to go silent, me to explain it, notice his continued silence and to consequently turn around and see the girl I like looking at me with this expression on her face: :eek:

    I may have blew my chances with her to smithereens and then blew-up the smithereens to baby smithereens, but it was worth it for this reason alone: I don't think I can ever feel embarrassed again, as nothing will ever top this. It's also pretty funny, I guess. I know I'll be able to laugh about it once I get over the cringe.

    :grin: My face for this day.
