  1. The most relaxing thing for me is watching a heavy downpour of rain. I'm talking heavy flash flood rain. I like to go into my garage where there's no interference from TV, computer, phone, or anything else. Take myself something to drink, maybe something to munch on, and just watch the water fall. I don't like sunny days. I like overcast days, and even better when it rains. If Missouri wasn't my home, I would move to Seattle. Where it's my understanding, that it rains almost all the time.

  2. I was poking around on the Nintendo Eshop last night and came across this game. I watched a preview of it, and bought it immediately. For those that grew up playing Sega Genesis, this game would be right up your alley. It has Sega style graphics and is an amazing game. For those like me that are classic gamers, regardless of what system you grew up playing, you will love it too. One of the best things is it was only $2.99! It's more than worth the money.

  3. There were a couple Super Scope games that were good. Metal Clash was the one I liked best, if memory serves me. I don't remember much about any others, as I haven't touched a Super Scope since the SNES heyday.

  4. If I'm awake I usually tend to just grab my MP3 player and listen to music. I would watch DVD's on my portable, but the noise airplanes make is too loud to hear the movies. Which is confusing because I can hear my music just fine.

    But this MP3 player is a gift from the Gods. I've had it since the Bush administration, and even stepped on it accidentally at one point. And it still works as if I just took it out of the package. It has a 4gig storage and I absolutely love it.

  5. We haven't driven any of our people to lower themselves to republican status. We fight hard to get rid of all the terrorists in our political system (Chump and Dense for example), and bring in intelligent people that will fight for creating and maintaining a functioning country, while facing the threats to our world like climate change. It's why I support Tom Steyer. He's the last hope this country has.

  6. First off, a "real man" has to exist. Males are all horny 17 year old boys. 

    But if there was a "real man" he wouldn't be afraid of his emotions. He wouldn't be afraid to cry. he would be strong when needed and sensitive when needed. He would be the type to take care of his family, and be responsible for his actions. He would be honest. He would be trustworthy. And above all he would be authentic to himself.

    But since no man like that exists, we're all stuck with nothing but horny 17 year old boys.

    I think it's really about selfishness, honestly.  A real man is living up to responsibilities, not whining - or shooting in self pity!

    On one hand, I can understand why they do it. If you're bullied incessantly, at some point you're gonna snap. I remember beating the shit out of kids due to bullying in school before I dropped out my Junior year. The bullying I went through was relentless. But I never took a gun to school and shot up the place.

    On the other hand, when that person snaps, they may go the other way. Instead of leaving the situation, they try to kill it. That's what war is all about. I'll support a justified war. But something like this, I look down on it with disgust. Murder is so generic and uncreative. Where's the art? Where's the creativity? Do something that will be unique and worthy of being remembered. Don't take the lazy way. If you are going to take the lazy way, then you kill the offending persons FAMILY not them. Make them live with the knowledge that their actions caused their loved ones to die. That's more of a punishment then killing the person that hurt you.

  8. Actually there's not a whole lot of that on the DW. that's a myth. The DW is full of bizarre and extremely controversial stuff, but the illegal stuff is rather rare. You have to specifically look for it. And as for those DW mystery boxes that you see all over YouTube? Pure bullshit. None of us know where the hell people got that idea. No one in their right mind would buy a box of random shit on the DW and actually give their address to someone there. You're setting yourself up as a patsy doing that. On the forums, we all get a laugh out of that.

  9. Yeah, but with everything turning into digital downloads, backwards compatibility won't be an issue. You just pick the game you want, whether it's 30 days old or 30 years old, and download it. Some will download it to remember the "good ol' days" and others will download it out of curiosity. 20 years from now some college freshman may get curios as to what the hell Q*Bert is and download it. 20 years after that, another college freshman may get curious as to what the hell Skyrim is and download that. They won't even know what a PS4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch is. They probably won't even know what PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo even means. Their only knowledge will be different companies putting out games they can download on to their gaming storage unit. But by then it will also most likely be a Ready Player One situation. These are sad times. Be ready to be dinosaurs people.

    Video gaming can be fun.  However, web development, music, 3D art creation or melding your hobby with web development (creating an art of music website) can be just as fun for some people.  Well, I suppose it's a subjective issue with many different opinions.

    Anyway, what do you feel gives gaming a run for it's money (in regards to the topic)?

  11. Since the PS2, most consoles can be stood up on end, and that gives a much bigger exposed area to expel more heat and keep them cooler. But if that isn't working enough, then a small desk fan should do the trick. It has done wonders for me. Or if you're in a relatively small room, and can stand it, you could just put in an air conditioner for that room. For example I turned one of the small extra bedrooms in my house into a home office. It's where I spend most of my time. An AC unit would turn the room into an icebox if I put one in. Or if you don't have a window, you can buy AC units that aren't window units, but they are expensive as hell. Several hundred, pushing close to $1k.

  12. I just got home from the movies about 30 minutes ago. I saw 2 movies. The first one that I saw was Fantasy Island. I would give it a solid 8/10. It was good. It had a few twists and turns that I didn't anticipate. Nothing all that dramatic, but it was still a good movie. The other was Knives Out. That one, was...…..lets call it difficult. It's hard to give it a rating, because on one hand it was just pure dog shit, but on the other hand, it was awesome. All I can say is that if you haven't seen it, then go watch it and you'll understand. If you have seen it, then you know exactly what I'm saying.
