The Blackangel

If you think that's bad, try getting chased by one that doesn't have a head. I remember one time when I was 4 or 5 we were at a family friends place to butcher chickens. When they chopped the heads off, the chickens ran like hell. One somehow ended up chasing me up a god damn tree. I didn't come down until they were done and the fucking chickens finally realized that they were dead and it was time to stop running. "Cluck Cluck Cluck" CHOP "FUCK, I'M DEAD"

I tried a couple, but they just confused the shit out of me.

This is bullshit. They're athletes, not gods. They're going to miss penalty shots, and they're going to make penalty shots. They're not perfect. They tried their best, and that's all anyone can ask of them. Sometimes it goes your way and sometimes it doesn't. The majority of the players on the Red Wings are recruited from Europe. None of the fans have an issue with that. We have lately had some absolutely horrid seasons. True fans stand by their team. Racist attacks, just because someone doesn't live up to an impossible standard you have set is stupidity in it's "purest" form. Racist attacks at all are intolerable. I'm going to add a bit to the punishment @Reality vs Adventure recommended. 30 lashes with a bladed, hooked, cat-o-nine tails.

No it's not blurring my vision. It's actually making my eyes vibrate. It drives my girl nuts when I do it.

True, but if you take care of it, and know how to repair it, they can last much longer than people give them credit for. I've repaired dozens of NES and SNES systems over the years. 2 years of electronics taught me how to troubleshoot and repair damaged electronics. When my systems start to malfunction, I look into them to figure out what went wrong, and can usually fix it easily. Typically it's a resistor that burned out, or a chip pin that became unsoldered from the board. Easy fixes, and the system runs like new.

Yes I do have a Switch. Switch Lite to be exact. Like I said, I've never liked Xbox. I just don't like how the system works, and on a smaller note, I find the controllers bulky and uncomfortable. I have been playing both Nintendo and PlayStation since the N64/PS1 era and enjoyed them both immensely. I have the GBASP and PSP. I actually have 3 PSP's, including the Assassins creed edition of the PSP. But don't know where a damn of them are. So am I "loyal" to a system? No as I play more than one. Am I "loyal" to a game franchise? No, as I play more than one. Am I "loyal" to whatever interests me? Hell yes. If it strikes my interest, I'm more than willing to give it a shot, assuming I have the money to buy it. I have over 100 DDL's on my Switch. It's hard to get around to playing them all, and some are much more entertaining than others. Some I have beaten, others I doubt I will ever beat. That doesn't mean I don't like them. Also the vast majority of them are from indie studios. Which in my opinion are putting out the best games right now.

Have you seen Unfriended Dark Web? It's a hell of a lot better than the first one.

Exactly the way Fox news reports their propaganda.

You want to know what the rules are? Here they are: 1.) Treat others the way they treat you. 2.) Mind your own business. 3.) Take nothing at face value. 4.) Stupidity is intolerable. 5.) Entitlement is inexcusable. 6.) Defend yourself viciously and without mercy. 7.) If you allow yourself to be taken advantage of you deserve the repercussions. Some situations excluded. 8.) Respect is never to be granted, but only ever earned. 9.) Animal abuse carries with it a torturous sentence of death. 10.) Robbery/theft carries a sentence of lifetime imprisonment in solitary. 11.) Sex offenders, pedophiles, and all child assault crimes forfeit all human rights including but not limited to food and water. These criminals are the ones used for medical research instead of animals. 12.) Individuality is to be encouraged and celebrated. 13.) Those of the LGBTQ+ community are to be welcomed with open arms. 14.) Women have the right to choose.

I would tell the investors they just have to wait and that they don't get to set a deadline. I would have my employees work their best at games, and pay them a fair amount. They would get overtime if they decided to stay late to continue working on the game they were assigned to. They would do a 9-5 M-F. If they wanted overtime they could come in on the weekends by their choice. They could stay past 5:00 by their choice if they wanted to. After the game was completed, I would have a team of testers whose sole job was to play the game and document any bugs or broken issues with the game. Report it to the developers, and then have the developers work on the game to fix the issues. When the testers play it and give it the green light, then the game would be released to stores to buy.

I always wanted a Moomba from FF8. They are so cute. I love the little critters.

Hell no. If I was automatically good at every game, that would remove the challenge and make gaming boring as hell. It would turn me off from gaming entirely since I could just get far without having to learn what the hell I'm supposed to be doing. For example, I know absolutely everything about Zelda A Link To The Past on SNES. And I mean EVERYTHING. I can tell you where all the heart pieces are, and even what bee to catch. Did you know that there is a different bee from the majority? Bet you didn't. I also know how to get to the secret Chris Houlihan room. Most people don't even know that exists. Dis you know that when you freeze your enemies if you smash them with the hammer you will get a magic bottle 90% of the time? If you keep paying at the pond of wishing in the fairy fountain in the middle of lake Hylia that the queen fairy will up you carrying capacity to 50 bombs and 70 arrows? It will cost you 1400 rupees in total, but it's definitely worth it. Knowing everything about the game has made it boring, but I still play it.

Emulators should not exist. Games should stay where they were made. NES, SNES, N64, PS1, Sega Genesis, Atari 2600, etc. All of them should stay there. If you want to play a game from any of the systems above, or any classic system for that matter, you should have to buy the console in question.

You're most likely right. Hell even now it's starting to turn that direction. You can go to a game store like Gamestop, buy a game there, and there's only a digital code in the box and not a physical copy of the game. For example, I bought Call Of Juarez: Gunslinger for my Switch at Gamestop and all that was in the box was a digital code with instructions on how to download it. So physical game media will definitely be phased out at some point within the next decade. It's just natural evolution. It's cheaper for the developers because they won't have to make physical games. And in that, they can still sell their games at the same price as they would if they were still making physical games.

FF8 I play the hell out of this game, and over the years have logged hundreds of thousands of hours playing and replaying it.

Personally, I hate the idea of emulation. Maybe it's my nostalgia talking, but I think classic gaming should stay on classic systems. If you really want to preserve gaming history, that is the only way in my opinion. You can't cherry pick what to preserve. Either preserve all of it, or none of it.

What do you think is the best view for a horror game, first or third person? I say first person view. A third person view defeats the purpose to me and doesn't really do anything for the game. Imagine Outlast or Layers Of Fear in third person. It just wouldn't be a horror game. Granted, I play games in third person preferably, but this genre is an exception as there is always an exception to every rule.

I spend more time on the dark web than I do on the surface web. I post on a couple forums down there, and have shopped a little bit. I send it through 4 different towns with a fake name in each one. It's routed through all of them, and when it gets to my town (which is actually the 5th one) I pick it up at the post office. The one thing that entertains all of us is the myth of mystery boxes people supposedly buy on the DW. There is no such thing. We laugh our asses off at the fake videos on YouTube. These idiots are MAKING the boxes themselves to get views. It's pure bunk. A fad that tons of YouTubers jumped on the bandwagon to do.

What the hell is that?

Like most everyone else, we always tweaked the rules at Monopoly. If you drew a card that made you pay money, landed on a spot that made you pay money, or paid to get out of jail, you would put it in the middle of the board. Landing on free parking got you all the money. If you landed directly on the Start square you got $400 instead of $200. There was something else that was house rule, but I can't remember what the hell it was.

JJ I'm assuming proper names are allowed, as even with a google search I could find no words in any language that both started and ended with the letter J.

If there's nothing else on, I'll watch it. But I'm more into streaming services, and don't even really watch TV anymore. We're actually cancelling our DirecTV and returning our equipment. We've had it for several years, but don't even use it anymore except for a couple shows. So we don't even see any actual point in keeping it. Also that will save us about $150 per month.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge 8/10

I played basketball and soccer. When I was little (like 8 years old) I played soccer in the city league. I also played basketball in the city league then played it in high school until I dropped out in my junior year. I moved and changed school districts between 7th and 8th grade. But the football coach in the previous district desperately wanted me to play football when I got to HS, because I could throw a football almost the entire field. he said he wanted me as quarterback. I told him I didn't know anything about football and wasn't really interested. He said he would personally teach me the game. I still don't know anything about football. I watch the super bowl, but that's just for the commercials. The best ones always air for the first time during the super bowl.

Mine is Pavel Datsyuk. He was called The Magician, and that is a well earned nickname. His skill on the ice is unmatched. I went to a game in St. Louis to watch the Red Wings take on the blues. We were down by 2 points and had 3 minutes left in the third period. He pulled it out and we scored 3 and won the game. He got a couple assists and a goal. There was also a game I was watching on TV and he was going by the net and jumped over an opponents stick, shot behind himself, and scored. No other player in the NHL could do the things he could pull off. Unfortunately he retired and is now playing professionally in his home country of Russia. Iwish he would come back as we've had several bad seasons lately. But Lidstrom also retired, then we lost Zetterburg to injury. Our best 3 players. We also lost Howard to retirement in 2020.
