The Blackangel

I can help you with the Greeks, and that is my religion. I pay homage to the ancient Gods and Goddesses as worshiped by the ancient Greeks.

If you can spare the money, I say you should always build your own.

Does anyone else play this? I downloaded it a couple weeks ago, and have been playing the hell out of it. It's a simple side scroller, and kinda goofy, but it's a lot of fun.

I don't do anything for other people. Their enjoyment means nothing to me. But then again, all the games I play are single player, and none are online games. So that may make a difference.

And I thought I had seen everything with AVGN's toaster Nintendo.

Does that same sentiment go for the way I do it? I put myself at a disadvantage to add extra challenge to the game.

Since their beginning as a playing card company, Nintendo has always tried to improve in every way with their systems. True, they’ve had a few serious flops (Virtual Boy) but they always try. Which is more than can be said for most.

From what I’ve read and seen online, the only real difference will be the name of the systems. Yes there will be games released that are only playable on that generation. But there’s so far no real improvement to graphics or processors that I’ve come across in any articles. Look at the PS5. It’s going to be fully compatible with PS4 games. That should be a red flag to begin with. Reverse play is a good thing, but when that’s the selling point of a system, instead of other technological improvements, I tend to lose a bit of faith.

There are a couple NPC’s that absolutely drive me insane. Of the two that stick out in my mind, one is supposed to be beneficial. The other is just enraging by its mere existence. The supposed beneficial one is Odin in FF8. Typically I don’t mind him. But when he starts showing up in literally every single fight you get into, then you’re no longer playing the game. You’re just walking around for a second and the game does everything else. It makes games not worth playing. The other is Kaepora Gaebora. That worthless fucking owl, is enraging to me. It’s almost impossible to look in a different direction without the bastard interrupting the game. It never even offers anything to help the game. Nothing but inane gossip. Shit that no one needs or wants. It doesn’t offer any clues or directions. So what is the god damn point? For this thing, there is none.

When I read the question @DC asked, my first thought was webmastering languages. Personally, I taught myself HTML when I was 16. I know it extremely well, but I haven't been able to grasp any others. I can manipulate prewritten JavaScript, but can't write my own.

Most games are aimed at computers not Macs. Don't look at me like I'm an idiot. Due to the vast differences, in the world of computers above consumer, Macintosh machines are technically not computers, but an entirely separate type of machine. Yes they are used for the same purpose, but it's like comparing a truck and a motorcycle. Same thing, but not.

That comment right there threw me off for a minute. I was thinking "How the hell can you level wrong?" But as I read your post it became very clear. Being a classic gamer, the type of leveling I'm used to is you just get stronger as you go up in levels. Nothing fancy. Out of all the games I play, the most intricate leveling I can think of off the top of my head is Zelda 2. There may be another one, but I can't think of any.

If you want difficulty, try using Search Snake through an entire run in Mega Man 3. That weapon is all but useless.

I would have to throw Q*Bert into this. I have loved this game since my early childhood, and love it to this day. I can't get enough of it. I even have it on my phone, so I can play it when I'm out. I highly recommend it to absolutely everyone, whether you like isometric games or not.

For the longest time, it was fighting games. MK, SF2, KI, etc. but they got to the point where they just didn't cut it. Too much cartoon, not enough gore. So I got to looking for the bloodiest games I could find. A few popped out, but they just didn't quite fit. Then I found Hatred. Pure gore, violence, and nothing is off limits. You get as sadistic as you want. you can slice someone up (adult or child) and listening to them scream is beautiful music. And it doesn't stop there. I play it with bands like Arch Enemy or 6FU playing and I find nirvana.

I played Castlevania SOTN without equipping ANYTHING, unless it was required for the game. Things like the Holy Glasses and the Gold and Silver rings. Other than that, I never equipped a helm, armor, cape, weapon, or anything else. It was hard as hell to get anywhere, but it was also a lot of fun. I've seen videos on YouTube of people doing challenges like a run through of Zelda OoT without ever collecting a single rupee. I never tried that, because it's way out of my skill zone. There was another game, I don't remember what it was, that I played and the only way I would travel was back flips. If I screwed up I would turn around and back flip to where I was and start back flipping again. It was a side scrolling game, I just don't remember what the name was. Hell I don't even remember the system it was on. I do goofy shit like that often.

With the exception of Uranus, I can tell you exactly where to look to see the planets with the naked eye at any time of the year. Neptune is too far to see, but all of the others are visible. Mainly due to their size with Saturn and Jupiter. But Mars and Venus are close enough to see clearly. Mercury can be tricky to find, but once you know where to look and when, it becomes second nature.

The Libertine I'm an obsessive fan of Johnny Depp, and this movie gives his best performance ever. He plays a 16th century English nobleman, who is friends with the king, but royally (no pun intended) pisses him off constantly. It's difficult to follow and get into the first time you watch it, but it is more than worth seeing. It has John Malkovich and Samantha Morton in it as well.

I found an ancient book on black magic. It explains how to put a curse on someone. This is what is written in the instructions: If you follow these steps exactly, the curse will be place on the person of your choosing. However, if you make even one small mistake, the curse will be placed on you instead, so be careful. Do you still wish to proceed? Of course I do. I have an enemy. There is someone who I hate with all my heart. Someone I wish would die horribly. I want to place a curse on this person. That's why I searched for this book of black magic. I want this curse to work, so I will follow the steps exactly. Step 1: Close your eyes and imagine the face of your enemy. That's simple. I couldn't forget this person's face even if I wanted to. OK, what's next? Let's see... Step 2: Imagine the curse you want to place on your enemy and what it will do to them. I want this person to suffer the worst kind of pain imaginable. I want them to be suffering so much that they wish they are dead. Alright, what's the next step? Step 3: Open your eyes.

1) A competent leader that actually serves the people, and not himself/herself. 2) A strong economy that is able to maintain a decent life for people willing and/or able to work for it. 3) A crime scale as low as it can possibly be with able and intelligent law enforcement. We need some prison reform as well, because the system we have now just isn't working. 4) Viable programs for those that aren't able to work due to mental and/or physical disabilities. 5) Healthcare. Think Canada. What does it mean? Virtually all countries would no longer exist, because they are all so far beyond broken that they just can't be fixed. Dust will not give you back the Colosseum.

Are you able to check IP’s if I check from a phone? I haven’t had a chance to get on my PC for a few days now.

You got it. He’s not repeating a number over and over. He’s so traumatized all he can say is “Ate eight”. He’s telling them that the seven of them ate the eighth guy that was with them.
