The Blackangel

One game I recommend everyone stay away from, is Marble Madness on NES. That game will make you blow a vein in your forehead. Those fucking marbles are next to impossible to control and the time limit is a killer. It's one of only two games on NES that I have to use a Game Genie just to be able to make it through. The other is Legacy Of The Wizard. The object of that one is to find 4 crowns to release a dragon so you can kill it. I've been playing the game for 30 years, and to this day have still only found ONE crown. I love the game, but damn! KMNP!!!

I couldn’t try any sport whether I wanted to or not. I’m wheelchair bound for the rest of my life.

I had mine removed a few years ago. I stuck to thin soup like chicken noodle, and soft stuff like yogurt and scrambled eggs. Now I’ve had to have everything on bottom pulled and most of my teeth on top pulled so I wear dentures. They’re not a good idea if you can avoid it. For example, since there’s no feeling in them, I don’t know where my food is in my mouth or if it’s chewed up enough to swallow. And I’ve had problems swallowing my entire life. I can’t eat anything unless I have some kind of fluid to push it down. I’ve had to be heimliched more than once.

The same can be said for hunters that do it for the food. Many are below the poverty line, and hunting is their only way to feed their family. But killing a deer for only the reason of hanging a taxidermied head on your wall is just wrong. And all too often, the meat goes to waste. The deer around here are big enough that they could feed a family of 5 for two months. Sport hunters don’t care. Sport hunting isn’t to keep the population under control. It’s for the sole purpose of getting to kill something. If that’s what you’re after, kill a person. There’s an over abundance of them. Human populations are beyond out of control. Kill them instead. Nonhuman animals matter. Humans (homo sapiens) do not matter and have absolutely no value.

First off, calling it “mythology” is extremely offensive. You wouldn’t refer to Xtianity, Judaism, or Islam as mythology would you?

Still doesn’t work.

This is the first time I've had this problem. I've uploaded images many times before with no issues.

I was going to start a new thread that I needed to upload a couple images to, but no matter how many times I tried, the images wouldn't load. I tried different file formats, different size images, refreshing the window, and even closing the tab and opening a new one. Nothing worked. Hell I even restarted my computer at one point. I don't know what's causing the problem, but thought it needed to be brought up since I don't know if it's just on my end, or if anyone else is having the same problem.

@StaceyPowers post about overpowered enemies made me wonder about the other end of the spectrum. What about enemies that are just too damn weak? As in so weak you wonder why they were even written into the game at all. I'm not talking about enemies you find everywhere that always took one hit to kill, like skeletons in Castlevania SOTN. I'm looking for something a little higher up the food chain. Bosses, mini bosses, that type of thing. Ones that you beat and you think "That's it?". I would have to say that the GF's you have to fight in FF8 all fall into this list. None of them are a challenge. All you really have to do to beat them is hold down the X button. Ifrit, Brothers, Diablos, Cerberos, Bahamut, Tonberry, Cactuar, are all candy ass pussies. All you have to actually remember with them is what you have junctioned to your elemental attack. If you have the wrong spell junctioned then all you're doing is healing them instead of hurting them. But still they are so weak, that I always feel let down by the game, even though it's one of my absolute all time favorites.

Castlevania SOTN. When I get stressed or just want to keep my hands busy, I usually go for this game. It's good for relaxation.

There's only two that I have ever played that I enjoyed, but one of them may not count. The one that may not count is the fishing in Zelda OoT. I enjoy it because depending on the size of your catch, you get really good rewards. A heart piece as a kid, and the gold scale as an adult. It also gives you a distraction from the main game if you're kinda stressing out. Getting Epona is another fun one. The other minigame that I really enjoy is Triple Triad in FF8. It's a simple card game that most always took for granted, until they taught Quezacotl the card mod ability. Then they saw that the cards could be modified into really useful and important items. Also I just think it's loads of fun to play, and collect the cards. I just never go anywhere near the Queen Of Cards side quest. That always goes so far beyond enraging me, that I'll not only blow a gasket, everyone reading this will get a migraine that they can't find a reason for. When there's something like that, that pisses me off that much, I quit right then and there. It's also the reason I don't play DKC anymore. That game went above and beyond the psycho bitch factor. I have all 3 on SNES, but I don't touch them. That's a blown valve that I don't need.

Considering that I only dream once a year, and it has nothing to do with video games, I really wish I could give a story here. I'm assuming daydreaming doesn't count, so I'm out.

The Plutonium Boss/Underworld Lord in Blaster Master. That fucker is almost impossible to beat. I've never encountered an enemy like that. The first form (Plutonium Boss) is the mutant looking thing. The second form (Underworld Lord) is the humanoid thing. You don't get healing items in the game either. You can come across health orbs, but you don't have potions or anything that you can take into battle. You have 8 life bars. And if I remember correctly, one hit from the bastard takes 4 bars. So 2 hits and you're screwed. Bitch. And. A. Half. To. Beat.

I saw that on there last night, and briefly wondered if it was based off the game. I didn't watch it, because if it is, I didn't want to chance spoiling anything in game, since I'm so new to it.

In Windows 10 if you go to your control panel you can choose to run older programs. It has the capability. I haven't used it much, but it hasn't let me down.

LOL @Shagger can’t be trusted around ice cream. It will vanish mysteriously. Myself, I can’t be trusted around gummies. Anything gummy will vanish in seconds around me. Also if you have chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, it better be locked up tight. I’ll wolf a quart of that down lightning fast.

PNP = Plug And Pray Pray that the damn thing works, that is.

@LadyDay you're a touch off. Arch Enemy is black metal. Six Feet Under, now there is a death metal band. Chris Barnes is awesome there. Cannibal Corpse was good during the Chris Barnes years, but when he left I was done. Some other bands you might like are Dimmu Borgir, Marduk, Them, Cradle Of Filth, Deicide, Broken Hope, and Kreator to name just a few. My all time favorite band will always be Disturbed, but there's others I like too.

I'm not too much of a PC gamer, but about 20-25 years ago I was more into it. I played games like Diablo 1&2, Age Of Empires 1&2, MDK, and a few hunting games. One of my favorites was Deer Avenger. That one was absolutely hilarious. Of the games mentioned, the only ones I currently have anymore are AOE2, Diablo, and Diablo 2. But I'm not sure where Diablo 2 is. I came across it a couple months ago, but don't remember what I did with it. At least with Windows 10 it has the ability to run older programs. So that's a plus.

Zelda OoT I just beat the water temple about 20 minutes ago
