The Blackangel

Not a bad buy. I have 3 or 4 of them lying around here. They're good and reliable consoles. The memory cards are often a bitch to find, but the games are pretty well rounded for the era.

As long as it doesn't move into a situation like the movies Avatar and Surrogates. If we end up in that state, I think a lot of people will go one of two ways. Completely reliant, or completely opposed. The divide would be extreme.

I've never even played an eSports game. Also I don't know who any of the gamers are. I could be sitting next to a world champion at a restaurant, and I would never know it.

Doesn't surprise me. Americans prefer stereotypes over facts. It has to be either more entertaining, or more comforting. Or both. Otherwise, Americans will reject it. We're basically ignorant pansies.

Ok, who are some of your favorite YouTubers and your favorite channels? Mine are: Corpse Husband Mr. Nightmare Lazy Masquerade MrBallen Repzion Farron Balanced The Ring Of Fire I used to watch several others almost religiously, but have since lost a lot of interest in them. Channels like Slapped Ham, Most Amazing Top 10, Matthew Santoro, and Rob Gavagan just to name a few. I was even a channel member of 3 channels at one point, but am now just a channel member of Repzion.

It's a neuromuscular disease. It deteriorates the muscles of the body, and also affects the brain and heart. The heart is a muscle after all. Over time a person gets weaker and weaker. The form of MD that I have is actually terminal. My life expectancy is not much past 50, if that. But that's not what this thread is about. So lets get back to talking about going to the gym here.

Excited about getting my car this week. How're you?

I'm sure I am. Being American, the only political system I have any form of education on is our own of electing a president every 4 years. We are given a brief look at monarchy, but only because it was a factor in the American Revolution. I don't want to get into that though, because a lot of people on both sides of the pond are still butthurt over that war. 250 years, and people still whining. But then again, we have that with the Civil War. 160 years and a bunch of Confederate assholes still whining about losing. So my knowledge of monarchical systems is very limited. Would you believe that a lot of people (Americans anyway) think the movie Braveheart is an accurate modern day depiction of what Scotland is like? Everyone running around in a kilt and carrying a claymore? There's also an extremely fucked up view of Mexico as well. Check this Family Guy clip to see what the majority of Americans think Mexico is like.

I'm not sure where it was. I was actually in the bathroom at the exact moment it was found. But my best friend came out and asked @Rain Dew if it was the title we were looking for, and it was. She showed us where she found it, but neither of us can figure out how it got there. We went through a ton of stuff on my side of the bed a couple nights earlier, and put a lot of it i a duffel bag. Stuff that I either don't need or just don't use except for a rare occasion. Somehow the folder it was in slipped past us and ended up in the bag. That's where my friend found it. So we're not only confused as hell, but looking at each other like we're idiots. Oh well though. We have the title back now. I'm basically a helicopter mom over it, checking its safety every 5 minutes. The Camaro has just a couple things left to do, and then I can license it. She's getting a new alternator this week, then I'm taking her in for an alignment and new tires, unless the inspection will overlook the tires. Highly doubtful unless I can find a guy that I can slip a $50 to pass it. Otherwise it's going to be a while, because the tires for it are over $100 each. And I just don't have $400+ laying around to put on the tires. So I'm screwed there. Unless @Rain Dew can talk her parents into covering the tires as a loan for us, it's going to be a while before anyone sees me driving it around.

My best friend came over last night to help clean up a bit and look for it. She found it. I’m getting a new alternator this week, but after that, she is good to go.

True, but typically from my experience everything I have ever encountered has always been “…her royal majesty’s…” without mention of the/a king. Even Columbus had to plead his case to the queens of both Italy and Spain in order for his cross-Atlantic voyage. Things in a functioning democracy typically have the First Lady just as involved if not more so than the president himself.

@Shagger is right. MD is muscular dystrophy, which I’m unfortunately cursed with.

I think another reason a lot of ships were always referred to as “she” is because 1000, 1500, 2000 years ago almost all nations were under the rule of some form of a monarchy. It was a reference to their queen being considered the owner of the ships they sailed on.

Yeah but just the thought of inbreeding like that just turns my stomach. It also makes me wonder how many of their children they ate.

At long last, the title to my Camaro has been found! My best friend came over last night to help clean and search, and she found the god damn thing! After months of being in panic mode, I can finally license my car, and start to enjoy it. (so this is what it's like to breathe again) I was about ready to have both a heart attack and an aneurysm at the same damn time. It has a tiny little bit more work to do in the shop, but after that, I'm going for a ride all over town. But no gravel roads. And she gets premium. None of that lower octane shit. I will be waxing her and using Armor All on her all the time. Under no circumstance whatsoever will food or drink be allowed inside her except for me having a soda or water. Fuck everyone else. BUT I FINALLY HAVE HER BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate the Aberdeens. But when you wake up in their pit, at least you can go back and kill them, get your money back plus all the rest of the money they had stolen from others.

To each their own, but I still feel Arthur’s death was more devastating.

It’s almost unanimously hated. Not because it’s a generally difficult dungeon. But because it’s such a maze and one wrong turn can cost you hours of wasted time. Finding several of the paths and items is next to impossible. And the boss key is so hidden in a spot that literally no one would ever look, it’s not possible to beat without the guide.

Just stick them in your weapon locker. You’ll always have them ready if you decide you want or need them. Personally, the only rifles I tend to carry are the Springfield, Varmint, and Rolling Block. I keep the sawed off as my both my sidearms. At least until chapter 4 when I can buy the M1899 pistol.

Are there any games that no matter how many times you have played it, no matter how many years you have been playing it, you still need a guide for at least one part? I do. It's Zelda OoT. The only part I need one for is the Water Temple. That's just so I can find my way around the damn thing. It is by far the most elaborate, complex, and confusing dungeon in the entire game. And although I have been playing the game for well over 20 years, I still have to have a guide to find my way around in the damn place. I don't need a guide anywhere else in the game or for anything else in the game. Just the water temple. I do keep a FF8 guide handy, but that's only for reference. Like what a card will modify into and what that item can modify into, etc. I don't need it for gameplay. Just a reference manual for items and cards. I don't have that memorized, and can faithfully say that I never will.

There's a lot of things in RDR2 that serve no functional purpose of any kind, but are unique items. Like the fertility statue and the female fertility statue. They have absolutely no use or purpose, and if you sell them you barely get anything for them. There's also Catherine's brooch, the emerald that you get from Mr. Margaret, and the pen you get from Jimmy Brooks. None of them have a purpose. They can all be sold, but once you do that they are gone forever. You can't buy them back. So me personally, I like to hang on to those things. Especially rare and unique guns. But you can't sell your guns in the game, so that one may not count.

Ok I'm out. I'm not even going to touch this conversation anymore. In fact.... What video game actor would you most like to meet and why?

Unless the beetles chew a hole through the colon releasing feces into the body causing peritonitis which leads to sepsis.

I did that with the PS3, and it was horrible. Remote play from PS3 to PSP was just not worth the experience. I don't know what the remote play is like right now, but hopefully it's a hell of a lot better.

PSP is the system that I was introduced to God Of War on. Chains Of Olympus is still my favorite in the entire franchise. Also you can watch movies on the PSP. That was actually the reason I ended up picking one up. The first one I got was the white Assassin's Creed edition. I still have the PSP somewhere around here, but lost the disc long ago. Losing the disc didn't initially bother me, because at the time I didn't like the game. Oh, how foolish I was.
