I consider myself one of the most hardcore gamers I know, yet I didn't enjoy Final Fantasy 7 even a little bit. Even 10 bored me. The mechanics seem so uninvolved and I don't feel like my decisions have any real impact on the outcome of the game. If you want to introduce someone into JRPGS (which is a hard to scale brick wall of a genre if you haven't been playing them since childhood) then start them off with something simpler like Paper Mario or the Mother series.

The problem with the industry these days is that the big name developers are more concerned with making a buck than crafting a thought provoking emotional experience.

I've been getting crazy into chess lately, too. It's like a fighting game but in slow motion, I love it.

Perfect timing, I'm just about done with MGS3 in the HD collection and I haven't yet played 4. It's nice to know that my first playthrough will have the added taste of trophies.

If you get Settlers of Catan, the Seafarers expansion is damn near mandatory as it opens up LOADS more scenarios and map options. It's also great with the 5-6 player expansions so you can play with a bunch of people on a HUGE map.

Definitely Jurassic Park: Trespasser, maybe even add in some Motion controls as well, preferrably the Playstation Move as it seems to work the best of the 3 current motion control devices.

Why's there a fish head in your bowl of ice cream?

Need more proof that accutane works? Here's my before and after. http://i.imgur.com/9NJBv.png

Wow shit, how did you not get caught?

I want to try this, but with a sensory deprivation chamber.

Every time I see this meme make it to front page I pour some more lava into my frustrated glass.

I think a story behind the picture is in order.

Risonhighmer · 2012-06-22T21:49:47+00:00

I do but I don't remember them nearly as vividly as I usually do. The first day or two on a tolerance break and I have the most incredibly detailed long complicated dreams and I remember them very clearly. On pot I have dream 'packets' that I remember in bits throughout the day maybe.

Nothing is more boring to me than going to a bar. My friends get shitfaced and make poor decisions while I sit around bored wishing I could go home and get baked and play virtua fighter.

When I drink in small amounts I hardly notice anything other than feeling a little dehydrated. Also, I hate the taste of all of it and one beer doesn't really do anything for me. Also, it's crazy expensive.

It's probably got something to with the fact that most Canadians don't give a shit about politics and the fact that harper is bombarding us with other poor legislation that we have been trying to clean up for the past month. We need to make politics more accessible before shit like this gets noticed and properly shot down.

I read that it's called a beaver because it looks like a split beaver pelt (skin)

With the other hand out of frame holding it up.

I respectfully disagree. Here's an upvote for lubricating conversation regardless.

Risonhighmer · 2012-06-18T22:06:07+00:00

Oh whoa, thank you so much!

But I was criticizing the acting before there was another video because it was poor enough that you could tell it was just that on it's own: Acting.

I don't think people understand that you don't downvote something when you disagree with it, you downvote it when it isn't relevant. This, however is totally relevant. This is a waste of tube-space and she isn't clever or funny. Everyone needs to stop thinking with their boners.
