You should have said. "Fine by me. Any woman would be lucky to have her." There would have been no comeback, not that the individual who said it had much dignity left anyway.

 

Just to clarify, it wasn't directed at me, I was overhearing a conversation.

[Silliest thing you heard from a fanboi]

I once heard a teenage boy say almost 25 years ago that if you buy the wrong console "your mother wants to be gay."  So if you buy the wrong console that makes it your fault your mom is gay.  My hometown was usually smarter than that, but the late '90's were apparently the nadir of Eastern Massachusetts.  This was back when I was in New England.

[What game have you been playing forever without finishing?]

Thanks for the advice.  I'm actually a really hard core gearhead, I watch all kinds of motorsports, I've been playing GT since about 1999.  I know about the out-in-out method if that's what you mean.  You can also diamond corners, or you can just run the high line.  Mostly I'll use the out-in-out method, but if I'm struggling I will search around.   As for luck, I like to leave nothing to chance if I can.  Some try to beat GT games with no mods, but in my mind that just leaves too much too chance for me to feel comfortable.

[Most goth games ever?]

I show respect to the dead too.  On an unrelated note, I'd bet most of the headstones have British / Scots-Irish last names.

[What game have you been playing forever without finishing?]

No, I meant Gran Turismo 4.  The drafting battle with Skyline GTRs is hard.  The Nurburgring mission where you use a Mercedes McLaren to chase down the leaders is also hard.  I also find one of the Formula GT races to be extremely difficult.

[Most goth games ever?]

Now I know, thanks.  My avatar is NASCAR Racing 2.  The game I spent six years playing until I grinded up my joystick around '02.

[Do you feel like gaming is a luxury or a necessity in your life?]

It's a luxury.  If I didn't have it, I would read more than usual and maybe take up drawing again.

[How do you keep your console cool in super hot weather?]

Something I'll do to keep from shorting out consoles is play with one for five straight days, then switch to the other, or just take a five day break from gaming.

[What constitutes a good innovation vs. a gimmick?]

Maybe an item that is really useful, but hasn't been done yet.

[Most goth games ever?]

Blackangel, I've always wondered who your avatar is supposed to be.  They look awesome.

[If video games ever became like the holodeck, would you want them to filter pain or not?]

I always worry about when stuff that should be cool backfires, or goes haywire.

[What game did you think looked graphically amazing when it came out, but now you would laugh at?]

I loved GT1.  I think I completed it three or four times.

[Starting A YouTube Channel Soon]

I'll watch, will any GT be included?

[Does anyone else dread/worry about not being able to play old games?]

I swear PS2s are the most unreliable console on the planet.  We've had to buy that damn thing more times than I can count because they stopped working.  I think people should stop buying original PS2 games and just stick to either buying ports/digital copies on PSN, or emulation at this point.

You're going to hate me for saying this, but I've had the same PS2 since I believe 2001.  I was a sophomore in high school when my parents got it for me.

[If video games ever became like the holodeck, would you want them to filter pain or not?]

I feel like my PS2 and PS3 games are realistic enough already.  I already sometimes kick myself for mistakes.

[How do you keep your console cool in super hot weather?]

I try to never play for more than two hours at a time.

[In what ways do you wish life were more like video games?]

I wish I could put in just two laps of effort and win $8,500 all the time, like in GT6 Clubman Cup Races.

[Do you prefer gameplay videos with or without commentary?]

I love when Youtube gamers discuss music history, or just life in general.  That's what keeps me coming back to Kamikazegames.

[How do you rally when you’re about to die in a tough fight?]

If it's Twisted Metal, I run, hide and look for health.  If it's NBA Live, I'll try real hard for steals, try to gain myself some possessions.  In racing, I'll try more late breaking to try to catch the leader.

[What game have you been playing forever without finishing?]

I've kind of given up on beating GT4, some of those driving missions seem impossible.

[What is the one thing that would make gaming easier for you?]

If I could change one thing it would be that I would read some books about basketball defensive strategy and that would make my NBA Live defenses better.

[What game do you think about the most?]

GT6.  Really Gran Turismo in general looking back on intense races, or interesting cars I've owned.

[What mistakes do you make over and over when playing games?]

In GT6, I sometimes misread prices for parts and have to be told I don't have enough funds.

[What game did you think looked graphically amazing when it came out, but now you would laugh at?]

NBA Live '98.  It's fun to go back and play as Antoine Walker (the Celtics star player of my teens), but I'm not going to pretend the graphics were any great shakes.  I guess I thought they were good at the time though.

[Does anyone else dread/worry about not being able to play old games?]

If I don't have a working PS2 and PS3 that will suck.  Luckily I live near E Starland.
