    It doesn't help that some of these millennial parents are very childish in nature as well so they don't really know any better so they just keep making the situation worse. Then they try to blame everyone/everything for not being a good influence on their children.

    Also they aren't willing to admit that they are the failure so they need a scapegoat. Video games are the perfect patsy. It's not like Richter Belmont is going to pop up out of a random Castlevania and defend himself.

  2. When I was a kid it was right in the middle of the video game crash. I actually didn't even knw what a video game was because of it. I spent all my time outside. Climbing trees, playing with toys, and just running around. My first video game was a Colecovision that I got when I was probably 4. It was a hand-me-down from one of my grandmother's friends. I was amazed that there were things I could control on a TV. It blew my mind. I played Donkey Kong, Ladybug (basically PacMan), and another game but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. It was bliss. Now we have games that look like real life and act like real life. People think "My kid's a good egg. This will just entertain them before dinner." Which happens more and more, until eventually the kid is left to the game as a babysitter instead. Then 20 years later the kid is on trial for murder and the defense is playing video games, instead of absent, shitty parents. Video games are fine. I'm not attacking them. But the parents need to take an interest in their child if they want that child to be worth anything.

    As a side note:
    I swear to the Gods I wish I still had that Coleco.

    That sucks but can you at least do a bit of stretching? Stretching at least makes your muscles less tense and promotes circulation throughout the body.

    Unfortunately no. I have advanced muscular dystrophy. My body wears out so quickly that I pass out with very much activity. And my muscles are so weak due to it, that stretching would only add to the problem. I've tried it before, and the result wasn't good.

  4. Yeah, I mean just look at this little shithead. Crack is not your friend people.

    And a few interesting facts about it:
    1) You only get 1 AP for killing it.
    2) You get no XP for killing it.
    3) It can kill you in one shot. Trust me on this one.
    4) It has around 20k-30k HP on average.

    So who in their right mind would waste their time with it? After killing around 20 of them it lures out their king which is actually a GF, that has some VERY nice abilities. If you no longer want to have to go to town to buy items it has an ability that is called Call Shop where all you have to do is go into your ability screen and there it is. No matter where you are in the world.

    On a side note who remembers the Bite Bugs? There is one, I don't know whether to call it funny or disturbing, fact about this little daemonic monstrosity from Satan's last bowel movement. I found this out about a year ago. It can fly up and FART on you. Yes that's right. Fart. How do I know it farted on me you ask? Because when it's not a standard physical attack, theres a bar at the top of the screen tha tells you what the attack is. And in big bold letters, it said FART.

  5. It depends on the game. If it's a console game that is strictly an online game, then no. It shouldn't be paid. Now if it's something like WoW, that's a bit of a gray area. But take FF14. That's a game that shouldn't cost to play. I know you can play it on a console or PC but that's irrelevant.

  6. I've never played the game once in my life, and I'm not trying to insult it in any way. I know absolutely nothing about it so I have no basis to form an opinion hence, I have no right to insult it. But I have to ask one question. What is the allure of Minecraft? A ton of people are playing it, and I've seen the graphics, which incidentally are no problem for me, but I've never heard anyone say specifically what it is about the game that draws them in.

    Also, it's an online game right? Like with a monthly fee type of thing?

  7. There's 2 arcades here in my town, and both are always swamped. One is in the mall, and the other is downtown. It's loads of fun, and brings back so much nostalgia for those of us from the older generation.

    I pop in and play every once in a while, and since I'm only interested in playing, I always give my tickets to one of the little kids in there. I don't need or want them, but the kids do. So why waste them?

  8. I absolutely LOVE FF8. It's my absolute favorite in the entire series. I don't see how anyone could not like it. But it's all opinions when it comes to games. For some it's pure gold, for others it's pure shit. But still what was it that you hated if you remember any specifics about FF8?

  9. If someone wants to make a game of this nature, then they should use fake but relevant scenarios. Never real life tragedies, never the actual killers names or faces, and call it something like Daemon School or something. In the developers own heads, they can be picturing whatever the hell they want, but they don't have the right to pull this shit here.

  10. In my opinion, Google is a great search engine. But that's where their quality ends. Gmail to me is useless. Just a shitty mail program. Granted I know it's the trend right now, and a lot of people love it, but I'm sticking with Hotmail. And all these little side projects that Google keeps coming up with (anyone remember Google Glass?) are just really sad. If they would put some money, research, and time into the development into these items, plus a test run with a good number of people, then maybe they could make some good projects. But until that starts happening, Google is only a search engine for me, and nothing more.

    There are studies for both pros and cons when it comes to gaming. In moderation, it's good and can be beneficial. If you overdo it, just like anything else, it can be bad for you.

    Very well said.

  12. I buy a lot of plastic tubs at Walmart. I fill one up, then buy another. I write on them what system they're for and that takes care of it. I keep them under my coffee table for the most part so they're out of the way. Then when I want to play a game, I just pull it out and pop it in. The only hiccup is the NES. But you gotta remember that it's a 30 year old system so it's gonna be moody as hell.
