  1. No interest. I've studied daemonology for around 30 years, and know when I'm encountering something that I can't fight. Also, when the dogs sleep with me, they tend to not show any kind of reaction that would reveal anything. They're just happy to be on the bed.
  2. I used my scanner to copy these pages that go more in depth about the story.
  3. This first one is a video I made, and I'm sure you'll recognize the ballad in it.
  4. I've been to 2 Red Wings games, and the violence that erupted when we won, was insane. It would make soccer fans proud. I was also attacked in a bar almost 20 years ago, because some dickhead couldn't stand the fact that I was cheering for a different team than him. And that my team was beating his team. So these days, I prefer to just watch at home. Also you get a better view of the game from the TV than you do from the nosebleeds which is where the handicap section is.
  5. You would be broken hearted. There are no polar bears in Antarctica. They live in the northern arctic. Now as for my choice, it's a difficult choice. Where in Africa would influence my choice. Antarctica would be good for me, simply because of how cold it is. I don't do well in heat. Our AC went out last night, and the heat got up to somewhere between 70-75 (21.1C-23.8C) and I passed out due to how hot it was. I need it between 60-65 at the hottest. But going on an African safari to see all the life out there in their natural habitat would be the opportunity of a lifetime.
  6. I'm not xtian so I don't celebrate xmas anyway. As for my birthday, it's never meant shit to me. So I can do without both.
  7. Yes. I put in either an American Dad DVD or a Family Guy DVD. I can't sleep in silence, because my mind gets to racing, which keeps me awake. The sound from the characters talking distracts my mind from running over it's own thoughts and worries and lets it relax. The light has never been an issue for me since I was a child. Due to night terrors, I always slept with a light on anyway. Call me crazy, but I swear that my master bathroom is a gateway, just due to the things I have seen in there at night. We used to leave the door open, but the lights in there off. Now we have that reversed. Lights on, door closed. I still see shit during the night, but not like I did before.
  8. On that point, I always heard that Spanish and French are the easiest two languages to learn. Spanish being the easier of the two. If that's the case, then I just suck at languages, because I've been using Rosetta Stone to try to learn Spanish, and it's going incredibly slow. I'm not learning jack shit. Eventually I'll learn it. I may be old and gray by that time, but I will learn it.
  9. I have no idea how, but it works on the Lite now.

    PS2.

    Dumpster diving for food, almost freezing to death in winter, soul crushing boredom. And all of it for a span of 3 years. Yeah, it sucked.
  11. Everyone always picks countries with the big draws. UK for Stonehenge. Egypt for the pyramids. China for the great wall. You never really hear about some of the smaller and more obscure countries. I never would have even thought of Croatia, as I don't even know what's there that would entice me to take the trip.
  12. My heritage is a few less than you guys. On my mothers side it would be dominantly German and to a lesser extent Irish and Scottish. On my fathers side is 100% Scottish Celt. More than 70% of my entire heritage is from the Highlands. It's why I have spent the last several years searching for someone who is fluent that would be willing to teach me Scottish Gaelic. So far either no one knows it, or they're just not interested despite the fact that I'm willing to pay.
  13. It has broadened my horizons and introduced to many great games, that are for the most part out of my comfort zone. In gaming I have always heavily favored fantasy games. Zelda has always topped that list. But since being here I have been introduced to games like RDR2, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Layers Of Fear, Cuphead, and Blasphemous, just to name a few. There are others that I have won in the bidding, that I had no idea existed, but upon watching the trailer for them enjoyed the hell out of the game. I have found countless games that I otherwise would have never known existed, many that are genre's that I have never enjoyed before. RDR2 being the obvious example.
  14. I always heard that English is the hardest language to learn as a second language. But if that's so, then why is English the international language of trade?
  15. There is a game I play a lot, where the protagonist dies in the end. After playing as that protagonist, in a world gone crazy, I actually cried. I felt like I had lost a piece of myself that I have spent the last damn near 40 years searching for. But, since I can easily just start playing the game again, I can always get back to that protagonist. I'm giving no names of any kind because I don't like spoilers, and even though it's an old game, there may be someone here who develops an inquisitive mind and decides they want to check it out. But, either way, when all is said and done, I love being a classic gamer.
  16. I have to agree here. I'm a classic, or "retro" gamer as it is, and I don't consider anything past the PS1/N64 era classic/retro. Something that burns my ass, is when people call things like Wii retro. I'm willing to slap you for that. If you're going to go that far, then you better start calling PS4 and Xbox One retro, since their next gen systems are out. Retro is old and obsolete technology. Games that are purely cartoony looking (not Cuphead) or have hard corners in their design. Mario 64 has a lot of hard corners. Zelda Link To The Past is cartoony. And don't get me started on the abomination that was Wind Waker.
  17. We all know that these stories are bullshit, with maybe an ungodly rare exception here or there. Maybe one suicide happened somewhere in the world that could have been related to the Lavender Town theme. But I highly doubt that Ben is haunting a video game cartridge. There are, however, some that can much more easily be fact checked. The Madden Curse is a perfect example. Find out who is on what cover, and see how their seasons went after appearing on the game. I think I've mentioned it before, but I have played a game in an arcade that used to be here that was called Polybius. I know that it wasn't the infamous Polybius. But it had the same name, and was a polygonal game.
  18. I already said that they're all functional.
  19. You have to have 1000 subscribers before you can get your channel monetized. 999 won't cut it. It's all explained within your channel in the YouTube Studio. 100 subscribers gets you the option of personalizing your YT link, and 1000 gets you the ability to have your videos monetized so you can try to make some money off of them. But to make anything, view count matters just as much as subscriber count. If you have 1½ million subscribers, and a video only gets 4 views, you're not going to make a dime on that video. It's all a numbers game.
  20. I'm not exactly sure when or how the feature went out, but I was looking at the settings on my Lite a couple days ago and noticed that now it has Bluetooth capabilities. It's been great to have enabled finally. It also means I won't have to buy a new Switch just for this one feature. I don't know how many Switch players we have here, but if this has been bugging the hell out of you, then you should check your settings. It's a green light on my end. I don't have any kind of Nintendo subscriptions, but I have bought a great deal (well over 100) of games on the eShop. I don't know if that plays a role or not, but I doubt it.
  21. I can see this having answers almost exclusively from the women here.
