The Blackangel

Too late. I have a minifridge and a microwave in here. I also have a couple cots as well. I have my skull collection as well as my Zippo collection. But like you said, I only have to leave to use the bathroom. If I can figure out a way to turn the closet into a bathroom, then 'll pretty much have a whole apartment in here.
The only thing anyone can do to get me out is to lure me with food. If you can feed me a meal that I like, we're going to be great friends.
I'm a sucker for food. I bet you never met a girl like that before!

Was wondering what happened to you for a while. I'm sorry to hear about your split. Relationship endings always hurt, but after 20+ years would be absolutely devastating. I hope you're doing ok.
You know us freaks of nature, oops I mean gamers, will be here for a long time. I'm interested to hear what games you're playing.

Hey all, i hope you are all well and doing good! 🙂 Im sorry ive not been on chatting with you all for a few months, but as i stated back in February, i had just separated from my partner of 20+ years, so was in a weird place back then and was unsure of what i would do going forward, as i had not been on my own for as long as i could remember! So yeah it was a shock to my system to say the least, and as im sure you can appreciate, i was not in a very chatty mood! 😞

Anyway what i did do was lock myself away from the world, and did a bit of soul searching and finding me again, as when you have been in a relationship for that length of time, you tend to lose your own individuality, which i did massively, as my ex was a massive control freak. So what i did is focus on getting me back to me and also learning a lot more about having a YouTube channel and video editing etc etc etc, as i started my channel in about October last year, but by the time i split with my ex in February, i still had no clue what i was doing, as i was learning everything from scratch. Anyway as i said, i took that time out to do a lot of reading and watching tutorial vids, to build up my experience, which im still doing as we speak, but im also getting back out of the flat now too and having a life again, instead of just solely focusing on my channel. So yeah life is better now and hopefully my vids have improved as well, due to all the tricks ive learned along the way lol, although my confidence on screen is still a huge obstacle to overcome, but all in good time, Rome wasn't built in a day was it! 🙂

So yeah, i just wanted to let you guys know why i disappeared for a while, and that im back and will hopefully be chatting everything gaming with you all going forward! 🙂

Speak soon!
Woody! 🙂

Re-installed this after a few months away, and started a new game on the highest difficulty settings. I didn't build enough houses for my people before winter - and then, they all just froze to death. 
Maybe I should try on a slightly lower difficulty next time!

Is there a genre of video games that you absolutely refuse to play? What is your reasoning for not playing? Of what is available today, I can think of only one that I would flat our say "no" to. There's genres that aren't my thing, but I don't just absolutely refuse to have anything to do with them. In recent years, my taste in games has actually expanded dramatically. I'm not the biggest fan of first person games, but I do play a couple. The only thing absolutely I refuse to play is online games. I absolutely hate them and quite often just want to puke at the mere thought of them. I'm not condemning anyone if they like them. Have at it. But I still can't stand online gaming, and I've given it many tries, from many games, on many platforms. I absolutely hated it every time I tried, and actually DID puke after a couple due to the experience.

Probably the supplies they need to continue training me.

Let's start with a few of mine.
Rats-
PROS-
1) They are extremely playful.
2) They love to explore.
3) They're affectionate as hell.
4) They're cute as hell.
5) Rats are one of the most loyal animals in the world.
CONS-
1) They have an extremely short life span.
2) They bite often if they don't know a person.
3) They're masterful escape artists. Houdini has nothing on a rat.
4) Despite what many will tell you, they're incredibly high maintenance.
5) Rat food isn't cheap.
*************************************************************************
Birds-
PROS-
1) They're playful.
2) They're beautiful.
3) They love to cuddle.
4) They have wider personalities than any other animal.
5) They have the intelligence level equal to that of a 3 year old.
CONS-
1) They're expensive.
2) They tend to bond with only one person.
3) They're extremely high maintenance.
4) They have the intelligence level equal to that of a 3 year old.
5) They are often mean as hell to the people they didn't choose to bond with.
6) They require lots of stimulation for their mental health.
7) Their supplies are extremely expensive. Cages for a macaw tend to run close to $1000.

Of the list here, I didn't play the side quests in FFIX because quite frankly, I never liked the game.

It more or less is, but it's still a blast to play.

Trust me, too many nutcases around with easy access to guns - both legally and illegally.

I sing to my macaw a lot. She absolutely loves it.

Welcome back.
Most people are concentrating on AAA games. Games like TLOU, RDR2, GTA, Skyrim, and others. Me personally I'm still playing my classic systems. Right now, I have my N64 hooked up and have been playing Zelda OoT. I've been dipping in and out of RDR2, but not as much as usual as I've kinda burnt out on it.

I've never played any of these games, but I know a lot of you have, so I thought this video would spark some lively conversation.
 
 

Since we speak and scribe the King's English on this side of the Atlantic, I could just boil this down to saying you filthy colonials are spelling things wrong, but...
 
You know, that's it. You filthy colonials are spelling things wrong.
 

 
Seriously though, I have no idea why this and other spelling differences like this happen on the same language.

Kinda makes you want to cry, doesn't it?

Technically, the 3DO wasn't their console. The 3DO was an unusual video game console in that it wasn't manufactured by a first party. Panasonic were just one of several companies who were contracted by the 3DO Company to make the console. The others being GoldStar (Now known as LG) and Sanyo with Creative Technologies being responsible for the peripherals and many of the components inside. This meant there were several different versions of the console with different hardware branding, but there were all made to similar specifications. The 3DO Company itself founded by the founder of Electronic Arts Trip Hawkins and it was his company that was responsible for and would profit from software distribution, like a game publisher. The various companies that actually made the system would only see thier cut from the single hardware sale. In a way, the 3DO today looks less like a gaming console and more like a purpose built gaming PC, perhaps like one of those Steam Machines that were about a few years ago.
 
And that was whare the real problems with the 3DO started. The fact the console had some advanced tech' for the time and that the manufacturers had to profit from the hardware sale is what made the system so expensive. It did have stand out graphics and some great ports of games like Wing Commander 3 that included almost DVD quality FMV, but it wasn't worth the price compared to it's rivals. A shame because I actually think it was a good system.

Don't forget these:
Greed Over Progress
Gang Of Perverts
Guns Over People

The katana episode was the pilot. The scimitar was in a few episodes but they were different kinds of scimitars.
 
IT WILL KEEEEAL!

I know what it sounds like, but it's not a porn site. It's a comedy site with tons of interactive stuff that are absolutely hilarious. You should definitely check out the Jeb games. There's Bird Calling, Bats and Balls, Alcohol & Ammo, and Book of Spells. There's others that are favorites of mins such as Knotty Kitty, and Crash Test Dumbass Overkill. CTDO is my absolute favorite game on the whole site. There's also the court of Judge Hellfire that is funny as hell to watch.

This is something I have always had an issue with, not so much with single player games that are offline and you play on your own, if you want to cheat in a single player mode, go for it. It's not bothering me and will not affect others only you.
When it comes to online multiplayer and playing with others, that is where I draw the line to be honest. If you are cheating you are ruining the game for others who are playing as well and that makes it less enjoyable for others. I am glad to see that some game developers take this very seriously but I do feel more need to take it more seriously. 

This video absolutely hilarious. I watched it several times before I came here to post it.
