The Blackangel

I think one of the motivations for a prequel is that a lot of people start asking questions like "how" and "why" about the protagonist. Like (once again I'm referencing RDR) I can see a lot of people asking how and why John Marston was hunting down specific people. And also why he seemed to know them so well. Then in RDR2, it shows where he came from, and explains the "how" and "why" of his background with the first game. So a lot of people (myself included) enjoy it because they're understanding the previous game better, which could lead to them enjoying it even more. It worked that way for me anyway.

I check several sections on Craigslist every day. Well today I saw something that reinforced my decision to not have children, as I don't want to introduce anything to how shallow the gene pool has gotten. I'm hoping this is a joke, but if you look at the image below, there are 5 posts selling not games, but gaming accounts. We have discussed the legalities of this on here before, but I have never actually seen attempts to do so. At least I don't remember having seen any. I blocked out the town names for my own security and privacy, but I didn't block out anything else.

I was so turned off by it, that I've barely touched it, if at all, since I made this post. I remember saving while I was in Kakariko village. Other than that, I don't remember anything. This thread is what reminded me about the game.

RDR2. I've never been a fan of western games. Custers Revenge was a small factor in that and warped my view for a long time. But also I just found them boring as hell. But then watching my girl play RDR2, the interest started building in me, and (after about a year or so) I ended up playing it like a fiend.

I think RDR2 does a good job of it. While not a national politics thing, there is a hierarchy within the gang, and their internal politics are very well illustrated. And can be applied to show how national politics in most countries tend to run.

Zelda on NES, SNES, and N64. They took me out of the world and let me see something honorable and respectable. A hero, instead of what I was seeing in real life.

I've gotten up in the morning (let's say 7:00 AM) and thought "I'll just play >insert game< for an hour or two". Before I know it, it's 10:00 PM and I don't know how the hell so damn much time passed.

It's a POV issue. You have tunnel vision in first person and can only see what's directly in front of you. For example, when you approach something that is on the ground, it disappears from sight. But it's still there. In third person your field of vision is enlarged drastically. This doesn't change whether or not you're on a horse. You still have the tunnel vision in first person from on your mount, and the all around vision in third person from on your mount. And from looking at it from a bit of a distance, you can easily and accurately see what is going on, what the terrain is like, and where you're pointed, much much easier. When you dismount, you're obviously free to go back to first person if that's how you play. But regardless of viewing preference, I would recommend that everyone always switches to third person when riding. it doesn't matter what game you're playing. The only games I can think of that willingly play in first person are Hexen, and South Park 64. But that's just because that's the only option. There is no third person option on those two games.

It gets me out of the real world for a while. The characters I play, (for the most part) aren't facing any of the issues I face on a daily basis. It allows me to be free and active once again. I'm not held back by any disabilities or personality defects, like I am IRL. I become someone else who is dealing with different circumstances, in an entirely different world. It's liberating and allows for independence. I can't ask for more than that, and honestly, that's more than enough for me. Also a very minor point, is that it also eats up time if I'm waiting for something. All around gaming is a win/win for me.

MySpace was more or less killed by Facebook. I remember using MySpace a long time ago, and I actually liked it. As for Hotmail, yeah it's still functional. It runs and works great.

I've always used hotmail. It was the first email service I signed up with as a kid. I did have to change my email address a few years ago due to getting so much spam, I couldn't tell what was legit email and what wasn't anymore. I do have a couple gmail addresses, but they're only for YouTube. I never check them since I don't actually use them. I also have a couple email addresses tied to my website, but they're mostly throwaway emails. I can hold up to 75 email addresses at my site, but even with giving a couple out, I have only so far used up like 6 or 7.

EVERYONE GETS PUDDING!

A name that was given to absolute idiots is Kevin. This guy is a definite Kevin.

Animals. It would lead me to a job that I could never get tired of, and that I would be one of the best at. A veterinarian.

I honestly don't know if I even use slang anymore. I just talk the way I talk. If that's slang, then so be it. If it's not, then so be it. I know I use expressions a lot, but I don't know if those count as slang.

As a kid, I actually did both. The grass tastes better. It almost tastes like bamboo leaves. I know that, because every time I'm at the zoo, I chew on bamboo leaves. They have bamboo growing all over the entire zoo, so I always pick a few leaves to chew on while I'm there. Once those in my mouth are chewed up, I pick a few more. It's a hell of a lot better than gum.

Musician definitely. Also a lot of musicians end up with a dual career. Music and movies. So you could do both after mastering your chosen instrument. But either way, I would much rather play an instrument.

They're constantly throwing around the word communism, and I can guarantee you 100% that not a damn one of them even knows what the hell it means, or what communism even is. They called us snowflakes for 4 years for calling Adolf out on the shit he was doing. We never mounted a terrorist attack. We never demanded recounts in all 50 states. We accepted the results of the 2016 election even though we didn't like it. We never held "stop the steal" rallies. We never parked trucks in front of government buildings and called in bomb threats. We never instituted a gestapo to go door to door to find out if someone is a cultist or Democrat. So who's the real snowflake in this country?

To hell with the day after, a woman would have to be tested within the hour of getting laid.

If I was told I had to defend some creature like that, I would quit on the spot and take a minimum wage job at a fast food place. At least there, I would still have my integrity. If I had gone to college to go into trial law, I would never have taken a job with the public defender. I would have gone to be a prosecutor. I would have ended up being disbarred early on, if I was a defense lawyer. I would intentionally lose cases for things like those sick monsters. It should be law that pedophiles and rapists be required to have the word PEDOPHILE or RAPIST tattooed on their foreheads and it be a felony to remove or cover it up.

I've actually done fire walking. Both in actual flames and over hot coals. It's mind over matter, and I made it through without a single burn or blister. I've also walked through snow barefoot, and by the time I got back in the house I was barely able to stand because I couldn't feel my feet. It was like walking on stumps.
