The Blackangel

Some of the more elaborate control systems of games are easy to get that issue. For example, with RDR2, literally every button on the PS4 controller is used. If there's a spot that can be pushed, it has a function in the game. Some of the functions in game require you to press and/or hold more than one button at a time. If you go for too long of a period without playing it, you will forget literally more than half of what the controls do and how to use them. As I've said before, learning the controls in that game is a bitch.

I found out yesterday that the fucking cougars in RDR2 are bilingual. They can make the exact same sounds a wolf can make. I was riding through an area and heard a lone wolf. My horse got agitated, so I jumped off, and before I could draw a rifle a god damn cougar jumped on me. Luckily I killed it. But after I killed it, all was quiet. I even rode around trying to find the supposed wolves, because those things don't run. Nothing. The cougar was the only animal. And by only I mean there wasn't even a squirrel or cardinal in the area. That (while technically not an NPC) was something that pissed me off, because the wolves aren't nearly as aggressive as the god damn cougars in the game.

Game exclusive features. If pre-ordering a game that I'm a big fan of is the only way to get certain game features, then I'll pre-order. But other than that, I don't pre-order shit.

It sounds like burn out to me. You get bored with a game to the point that you just don't want anything to do with it for a long time. That happens to me a lot, even with my absolute favorite games. There's a few that I haven't played in years, because I'm still burnt out on them. For example I can't even remember the last time I played any Mega Man game.

God Of War is a PlayStation exclusive, the same way The Legend Of Zelda is a Nintendo exclusive. It would be pretty sweet to see it offered on PC, but that would be a deal with the devil in a few ways. If they release it on PC, what's to stop Microsoft from putting it out on Xbox? Sure there's licensing issues, but Microsoft owns the patent on PC hardware. They had to bail out Apple because if they didn't they would have had a monopoly on the market, which is illegal. At least here in the states it's illegal. I think it's bullshit that they were the ones to bail out the competition, but that's just my opinion. But to get back to topic, they use basically the same hardware for the Xbox that is used for PC. Why put it on one of their machines and not another? It would just cause a lot of issues, unless there was a 5000 page contract, with extremely detailed fine print.

I do it all the time simply from boredom with it. I always play FF8 up to the end of disc 3, and that's when the boredom of the game sets in. The only thing left is Ultimecia's castle, which is ungodly boring. All the towns are blocked off as you are outside of time, which leaves you very little to do. Several side quests are no longer available as they involve going into one or more towns. By the time I reach the end of disc 3, my characters are virtually invincible. I junction spells to their attributes, equip things such as Ribbons, and nothing can touch them. Elemental attacks actually heal me, and all status attacks are blocked by the Ribbons. Hit points are maxed out at 9999 for everyone. Unless I decide to go for 100 of every item (which I have done in the past) I don't have a lot to do.

Being stuck in a wheelchair due to advanced muscular dystrophy, I have no choice but to sit all day and just deal with it. I'm on some high level pain killers and have a medical marijuana card for the pain as well as anxiety. That stuff helps, but it unfortunately isn't a cure. I keep bottles of acetaminophen handy everywhere in the house. I usually have to take 4 of them which totals to 2000mg to deal with the pain when it hits. any less and I might as well not even bother. Caffeine helps, as it has a reverse effect on me. It relaxes me instead of charges me up. The only real reason I get out of bed anymore is because laying down is excruciating once I have spent a few hours in a horizontal position. My wheelchair isn't exactly the most comfortable chair on earth, but I don't have any choice or options in the matter.

FF8 led to an actual physical Triple Triad card game. It didn't last too long, as it wasn't very popular outside the game. But you can still buy the cards on eBay for a reasonable price most of the time, if you're not looking for the highest level cards like the character cards such as Zell, Squall, and Edea.

No, I haven't bought any, because I like how Arthur looks in the default outfit. He's an outlaw, so the outfit is appropriate to me. Also he's hot, and kinda sexy in it.

Ok that fucking pig creeped me the hell out.

How the hell do you make a game off The Godfather? That's like making a dildo out of a snow globe. But to answer the question, there have been a couple decent Star Wars games, surprisingly. Star Wars Racer isn't too bad. Not a masterpiece by any means, but acceptable for a racing game designed in the likeness of the movies. ET on the Atari 2600 was an abomination. So much so that they took all the copies they had and buried them in the desert. I wish I had one of those copies, because they're worth a shitload of money to collectors now. I don't know the exact number they go for, but I know it's a lot.

Has anyone played this? I see it as a sponsor of some of the channels I subscribe to on YouTube a lot, and it looks intriguing. I haven't gone for it yet, because I don't know more about it than what the YouTuber says when they talk about it in their video, so I don't know if it's just a decorative microtransaction, or if it's a mobile Warcraft, or what the hell it is. Does it require a paid subscription is another question I have and can't find a satisfactory answer to. Can anyone help me out here?

I have spent some time over the past year or so collecting this list, and I have to post it and get everyone's thoughts. It's a list of reasons people say the moon landing was faked. I'll admit that some of them do make it seem questionable, (I'll point those out with asterisks and bold underline italic) while others do the exact opposite. I collected these, because this is one of the more entertaining conspiracies to me. Fair warning some are pretty wild. You may have to read through two or three times, because you will be laughing so hard it's likely you will pass out. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Buzz Aldrin plants the American flag on the moon… and it waves. The waving flag indicates wind presence. There’s no wind on the moon. Images of the landing contain odd reflections of light in the corner of photos and off of the astronaut’s helmet visor. There are also shadows pointing in different directions, indicating several light sources. These discrepancies can only be explained by studio lights on a production set. There are no stars in any of the photos; the Apollo 11 astronauts also stated in post-mission press conferences that they did not remember seeing any stars during EVA. In some photos, the crosshairs are behind objects. The cameras were fitted with a Réseau plate (a clear glass plate with a reticle etched on), making it impossible for any photographed object to appear "in front" of the grid. This is evidence that objects were "pasted" over the photographs. The United States was so concerned with beating the Soviet Union in the Space Race that they were willing to do anything to come out on top. Landing on the moon would do the trick. The quality of the photographs is impossibly high. There are identical backgrounds in photos which, according to their captions, were taken miles apart. Hence, a painted background was used. The number of photos taken is implausibly high. Up to one photo per 50 seconds. The photos contain artifacts like the two seemingly matching 'C's on a rock and on the ground. These may be labeled studio props. The astronauts could not have survived the trip because of exposure to radiation from the Van Allen radiation belt and galactic ambient radiation. Film in the cameras would have been fogged by this radiation. Footprints in the Moondust are unexpectedly well preserved, despite the lack of moisture. The Lunar Modules made no blast craters or any sign of dust scatter. The Lunar Modules weighed 17 tons and made no mark on the Moondust, yet footprints can be seen beside them. There should have been more than a two-second delay in communications between Earth and the Moon, at a distance of 400,000 km (250,000 mi). *****The Parkes Observatory in Australia was billed to the world for weeks as the site that would be relaying communications from the first moonwalk. However, five hours before transmission they were told to stand down. Parkes supposedly had the clearest video feed from the Moon, but Australian media and all other known sources ran a live feed from the United States. *****Blueprints and design and development drawings of the machines involved are missing. Apollo 11 data tapes containing telemetry and the high-quality video (before scan conversion from slow-scan TV to standard TV) of the first moonwalk are also missing. *****In July 2009, NASA indicated that it must have erased the original Apollo 11 Moon footage years ago so that it could re-use the tape. If the moon landing was such a monumental achievement, why would ANYONE even consider taping over the footage? That footage would most definitely have been in a museum such as the Smithsonian. Moon believers claim that hundreds, if not thousands, of people would have had to been silenced to pull off a hoax. This is incorrect. In fact only 20-30 people would have to be silent. That would be the film crew on set and the astronauts themselves. If NASA can broadcast from the moon, they can easily hack their own feed and dupe everyone at ground control, and around the world, into thinking the video was coming from the moon. Just before Armstrong stepped off the ladder, transmission was "lost" for 2 minutes. NASA and Armstrong refused to comment about it until Armstrong broke his silence at the end of his life. His claim was that there were two UFO's hovering nearby. If someone had actually been on the moon, both they and NASA would have been able to come up with a better story than that to explain 2 minutes of lost transmission time. Armstrong was filmed descending the ladder. Hubble didn't exist in 1969, which means someone had to be outside the lunar lander filming the event. A rebuttal I've seen to anyone claiming they watched the whole thing live on TV: "I've seen wrestling live on TV and in person. Your argument means nothing."

I unfortunately have to agree. A group of absurdly wealthy elites controlling governments and nations to mold the world into their preferred status is no longer just an illusion for paranoid people. It's unlikely that such a thing exists, but it is within the realm of possible. The UN could no longer be a meeting of nations for a better future, but instead a smokescreen for such an organization. But as I said: unlikely, yet possible.

Who would have fucking guessed? I'm thinking he knew that, but people were starting to notice his "milking" attempts.

I saw this on Craigslist a few minutes ago. Just how low can these pathetic assholes sink?

When I read the title, I thought, "How the hell can these systems rust indoors?" since they don't get wet if taken care of properly. I didn't know there was a game called Rust. Chock that one up to dumbassery caused by ignorance.

I had to start a new RDR2 file due to my previous one getting corrupted. I'm currently in Chapter 2 at Horseshoe Overlook. My current objective is to collect the hides I need for the Legend Of The East satchel. But when I'm in camp, I don't know why, every last person there starts bitching at me about how I'm dressed. They keep telling me that I should dress warmer, that I'm going to catch my death, asking "ain't you freezing?" and other shit. I'M WEARING THE FUCKING DEFAULT OUTFIT What the hell is going on here? I just want them to shut up, but no one will. How the hell do you get that kind of shit with the DEFAULT settings? This has never happened before, on any of my play throughs. I could switch to my winter gear, but within 30 Arthur starts to get too hot. Do I need to strip naked and ask them if that's any fucking better? If it wasn't for the fact that I have to bring the hides to Pearson for the satchel, I would leave camp and never return. We'll see how god damn much they bitch then. Sure someone will ride out to find me, but I always have the option to tell them to piss off.

I have just begun to scratch the surface of Skyrim, and so far, it's a pretty good game. After seeing a lot of the posts here about different aspects of it, there are things I would have never in my wildest dreams thought would be in it. So it's a wild ride, from what I understand. But currently, I'm stuck to RDR2. I can't get off that damn game. It's my crack. Get your minds out of the gutter you pervs.

Beat-em-up's like Double Dragon paved the way for games like SF2, MK, and KI. TMNT directly led to the spinoff Battletoads. Doom led to Hexen. There are obviously others, but I haven't been awake long enough to be able to think that much.

Another answer: We can only hope.

Who is this "her"?

That's bullshit. Jacking up the price and saying people are "ready for it" is nothing more than a slap in the face and a fuck you. Do they think that those of us on disability and food stamps, who are barely able to get by and often have to decide which bill to NOT pay this month can afford them raising prices because I am "ready for it"? I am READY for the bastards to DROP the price. How about $50 instead? That was the price of a new NES or SNES game off the shelves at Walmart or any other retail store that sold video games. What the hell was wrong with that? Also, in case you bastards haven't noticed, Nintendo is still around 30+ years later and doing very well financially. So fuck you Take-Two. You just lost a potential future customer.

I think that's the reason a lot of the old classic games are losing popularity these days. Take Zelda for example. People are getting bored with the sword wielding hero saving the princess from the big bad evil that is trying to take over the world. BOTW2 came out so damn quick that Nintendo were desperately trying to keep it relevant. And I can't think of a single game in that genre that exists on current gen systems in that fashion anyway. Sure you could say something like Skyrim, since it's a fantasy style game, but it's also wildly different despite being a fantasy game. People are bored with the same old story line. Boy saves girl from villain. Boy and girl live happily ever after. Anyone wanna play Candyland? Gamers are looking for something different as those old clichés are getting tiresome.

What were some of the things you found? I know the game pretty well and can probably point you to where at least a couple of them are.
