Nah, this is more likely to be me:

Funny, I don't recall recording anything for a video game.

I can think of a couple, that need no explanation. Beavis & Butthead Earthworm Jim 2 Those are two of the goofiest games I have ever played. I would put Conker on this, but that one just doesn't seem right to me for this topic.

How much direction do you want a game to give you?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Help in knowing what to do, or how to do it, is good. But after that is taught in the beginning, any more "instruction" only takes away from the game. -
Stupidest video game bans by regulators
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Hatred and Postal 2 were banned in a multitude of countries due to the violence of the game. I've played both, and while I agree that they are indeed violent, they're no more violent than many of the games that everyone plays on a regular basis. The only real difference is the plot and mission. If it's too violent for your sensibilities, then just don't buy the fucking thing. -
If you could spend a day as any video game character?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone specific. But what I can say, is someone that is a total opposite of me IRL. Someone that doesn't wake up pissed off. Pissed that they are still alive, that is. Maybe someone who sees value in life. Princess Zelda perhaps, but that's too easy a choice. Rinoa maybe. -
After finishing main quest lines in open world games
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
I get a bit of an empty feeling when I reach a certain point in some games. Sometimes it feels like the characters have reached a point that they're not the same people you started out with. Like everything has changed and no one is left. I don't like reaching that point. It's why often these days, I play to a certain point in a game and keep it there. I don't advance the story anymore. -
I hate my fate. I’ll be in this fucking chair until the day I finally die. I’d give anything to be able to walk again.

GameStop & the stock market
The Blackangel replied to The Blackangel's topic in Debate, Politics, & Religion

I got this in an email tonight. It seems more suited for the politics board than the gaming news board to me. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Wall Street elite are in a frenzy this week after young traders on Reddit decided to hedge their own bets on the stock market — resulting in struggling companies like GameStop seeing their stocks skyrocket in value, and causing massive losses for wealthy investors. Now — at the insistence of Wall Street — trading platforms like Robinhood and TD Ameritrade are restricting trades, thereby allowing certain traders, like hedge fund managers, to keep buying and selling normally, but freezing out all others. The wealthy and powerful have always claimed our country’s free market is the cornerstone of the American Dream. Well, if it is then everyone should be allowed to participate. If you agree, add your name asking Congress to open an investigation into Robinhood and others’ decision to freeze trading for retail investors. Apparently, it’s okay for Wall Street to treat our economy as a casino, but when average people on a message board decide to do the same, they’re freezed out? We don’t think so. That’s why we’re calling on the Congressional Committee of Financial Services to open an investigation into Robinhood and other retail trading platforms’ decision to block retail investors while hedge funds are able to keep trading freely. For decades Wall Street has been doing exactly what these new traders are doing, but now that others outside of the circle of wealth have access — it’s a problem. The “market” was so quick to act when billionaires started losing their money, but when those same billionaires cause recessions and millions lose their homes, no one bats an eye. It’s time that Wall Street is held accountable. Add your name to ask Congress to open an investigation into the decision to freeze retail traders out of the market.

We can't all do that. If you're in a wheelchair, you're screwed for getting up and moving around.

I think one of the reasons that kids these days have terrible taste in games is the lack of options. Everything is a damn simulator. You name it, there's almost a 100% guarantee that it has a simulator game. I saw House Cleaning Simulator for fucks sake! Who the hell is actually going to want to play that??? Sure there are good games and bad ones, as per our discussions here. But the bullshit that is all over the shelves is enough to make someone sick. A lot of parents won't get their kids the games we play because they'll see that little T or M in the corner. So that narrows down the choices significantly. If your choices are only simulators then you might as well sell the platform and go back to tiddlywinks.

Can I get some constructive criticism on this video that I made several years ago and posted?

Should Konami sell their games to another company?
The Blackangel replied to Kane99's topic in Gaming Forum
I would love to see some new Castlevania games, as it's one franchise that I have loved from the beginning. But the sad fact is that Konami is going to go to the grave holding on to these games. They'll never release them. I'm absolutely positive that they wouldn't even lease them to another studio, let alone sell them. So we're kinda screwed. -
I'm older than you are (not by much though), so don't feel too ancient.

I have no intention of monetizing either of my two channels. I don’t upload very often, and I just do it for fun.

It snowed overnight here and left around 4” of powder. I can’t even look towards a window. The light reflecting off the snow is so bright it can burn my eyes and leave me blind for up to two days. I’ve spoken to doctors and optometrists and they aren’t sure what to do about my photosensitivity. They just tell me to keep up what I’m doing. Sunglasses all the time, and double up if I’m going out.

Anyone else feel like they are living in cuckoo land?
The Blackangel replied to clonefox's topic in General Chat
We should be on lockdown here in the states, but so many karens bitch and moan about it violating their constitutional rights. I’ve read the constitution, and apparently I missed the amendment that gave everyone the right to continually spread a pandemic due to their arrogance. In my opinion, anyone who goes out and refuses to wear a mask and social distance should be arrested. Lock them up for a day and fine them. I’ll admit that most if the time I’ll get to the door of wherever I’m going and realize that I forgot to put my mask on. I keep an extra in my purse, so I stop, put it on, and then continue going in. I don’t know how many morons I’ve heard screaming about how they don’t have to wear a mask for one reason or another. -
The republiKKKlan party doesn't even stand by its own people. During the terrorist attack on the Capitol they were intending to execute Mike Pence. he and his wife are now homeless and have been couch surfing in Indiana for a while. A friend sent me this article about it. I find it funny as hell that people at Mar-A-Lago are fighting to keep Adolf out, and Pence is homeless. They're getting what they deserve in my opinion. I've been homeless. i spent 3 years on the street. I know how hard it is. But I can honestly say that these two assholes deserve this.

Entitlement and superiority in gaming
The Blackangel replied to The Blackangel's topic in Gaming Forum
I've seen some that refuse to play >insert game< because they don't want to "waste their time" playing against pussies they would beat in ten seconds. Translation: I don't want to get my ass kicked again because I suck at all games. -
Something people don't realize is that we modeled our system of government after the Roman empire. And we all know what happened there, so it's inevitably going to happen here.

@Shagger I wasn't trying to discredit anything you said, as you were more or less right on the money. You could say I was adding to what you said. And I totally agree that the politics here are complete shit.You take the two main political parties and the two are pissed off at each other 100% of the time. It doesn't matter what party has the white house or control of the senate. And half the country thinks the other half has lost their damn minds. All of this will never change. This political situation doesn't just affect Americans. it affects everyone. America is what I would call the most entitled country on earth. Nothing is ever enough or good enough. We should have it just because we want it, and we shouldn't have to pay for it. Bull. Fucking. Shit. If I could afford it, I would leave in a heartbeat. I would try to gain citizenship elsewhere. Canada would be my number one choice, with Mexico being my number two. But me being on disability, I can't afford to pack up and leave. Also I don't know what the laws are in either country regarding disability. If they have it, I don't know if I could live on it. Especially since the Canadian dollar is worth roughly 78 cents US. So the exchange rate could screw me bad. Also the Mexican peso is worth a nickel. So if I took the money I have across the border and kept it at the same number it is here, I don't know if that would mean I was poor or rich. Americans are screwed, whatever way the politics go. And foreign nations need to pay attention to what happens here. Because what happens here, can and eventually will affect them. We're not exactly known for minding our own fucking business.

Entitlement and superiority in gaming
The Blackangel replied to The Blackangel's topic in Gaming Forum
Kinda like an internet badass. Some scrawny punk IRL, but online he is the baddest meanest man on earth. He could easily take down a god and not break a sweat doing it. If anyone is a joke, it’s them.
