Games / 250$ and very little idea what to do with it.
« on: September 20, 2012, 09:30:33 AM »
So I've got a spending surplus coming up, should be something around 250-300$ to spend.

I'm not really one for buying a ton of things,but I currently have next to nothing on ma list.

Looking for games, preferably something that doesn't require to much Multiplayer to be fun.


Currently all I have is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on the list.

Maybe Metro 2033 (Figured if I want to eventually get Last light I should play the first one)


I'm not getting Borderlands II, No one I know to play it with.

I'm a fan of things like RPG's, and RTS.


Otherwise I"m just getting some online credit, S.T.A.L.K.E.R ,and banking the rest.

Off Topic / Games; and why we love them.
« on: May 28, 2012, 09:21:16 PM »
Game design is a sort of hobby of mine. I'm not a programmer or someone who finishes big projects, but I enjoy creating ideas for games.

That said I've always been interested in why people like games, and what makes it fun and enthralling for the player.

So I figured I'd ask this to you all; why specifically do you enjoy the games you do.



Example:
   
     I enjoy games with valuable upgrades. Games like Toss the Turtle or say more recently Diablo 3 are the first examples that come to mind. The ability to buy things is a gimmick in almost all games, but these two do it right because every time I get a better piece of armor or a new cannon it feels well earned.

     I enjoy games that let me create, or immerse me deeply in the story. If I get to invent the story it is mine and therefore makes me want to play a game longer so I can finish it, and in a way finish my character's story. If it is the game's story to tell then it better tell it right, or make up for it by being just way too fun.



I'd appreciate it if the responses were thought out to some extent.

Things like why you like to shoot zombies or why you enjoy "God mode" power ups help me get a better idea of what a variety of players want and enjoy in the games they play.


The faith I have in quality answers borders on meager, but thanks for taking it into consideration

Off Topic / loving Devil Pills
« on: February 29, 2012, 03:18:42 PM »
So It is almost impossible for me to swallow any normal pill.

They always taste horrible, and it is not like "Turn your head up and swallow you derp"

Its more like have someone slip them in something your supposed to swallow hole and give it to me.

AGHASGKH

Hate pills


Discuss 4 hour waits in hospitals, and people asking stupid medical questions.

Games / First game experiences and why they were awesome.
« on: January 15, 2012, 09:28:54 AM »
Someone mentioned this in the 3-D model topic, or at least referenced it.

Basically what was everyone's most memorable first game?

First game actually played:

And then say any # of others and why they're significant.


I always loved games when I first started playing around 6 or 7 because they were so freaking challenging.
Partly because I had no idea how to actually play it; I never read the instruction manuals.

But in general I would think games were tougher back in those days.


First game actually played: I would have to say was Sonic 3-D blast, i'll assume it was one of the first sonic games. Played it to death.

Others: All the Final fantasy's up to 4, maybe 5. Had all of them for the- Super Nintendo, and I still have all my old games C: .

Conquers bad fur day was great, the swearing was a nono for my parents but they settled as long as I didn't repeat anything. (Which inevitably did happen)

A few racing games that were great, Both the (2-D?) and 3-D versions of F-Zero, an old game called Battle Cars, And another one that was similar to Heavy Metal for the PS2.

Ah, and I have to mention I also played the first mortal kombat for the NES and some kind of power ranger version of mortal kombat too.
(My bro is 2 years older so we would fight each other, I would always want to fight and he would always win. I always thought it was because he got the clear controller.)

So any good memories from sometime in the past?

Oh and Metroid <3

Creativity / Writings from the trash. (Kevin's small poetry dump)

Writings from the trash

The ramblings of someone who clearly has no idea what hes doing.


To start off these are some random things I've written usually from personal experience.

They're completely raw and unedited so I expect them to be absolute fecal matter.

Enjoy



Comments appreciated-


Laughter

Once a time filled with joy, filled with happyness.

A time when only what I had wanted to do was important.
   When you were supposed to enjoy life and live it to its fullest in every reguard.

This time feels short lived but its memory will forever remain.

I wish this time to come again.
To be free of responsibility and self doubt.
To be without a pessimistic mind.
   A mind where even the simpliest of man could come to appreciate the small things in life.

The simple man who enjoys his humble home and wants nothing more.

The honest man who gives more than the very sun.
   That gleams so brightly in the dimmest of twilights.
       That brings hope to weathered men, hardenend women, and desprate children.

The glimpse of that first light, that first sight of another day's hope another day's future.
For the bravest of men are joyfull,but still keep pain in their hearts.
These men know of the corrupt bleakness that clings to all our hearts.
And yet-

They continue on.
They move on to a brighter day to a brighter future.
One filled with an emotion stronger than the word "Happy"

An emotion that fills us with pride, with dreams, with tears.
An emotion that fathers feel on the day they hold their first born.
An emotion that makes us quietly mourn our dearest of friends at their passing.
An emotion that only makes men strive for the impossible.

Humanity.

Deprivation

This is a place filled with a dry aching sadness. A hollow place as empty as space. Where the hopes and compassion of men crawl underneath the swift hooves of death to die.

Every person has this Void, this place of no return.

The line which should never be crossed.
The unbreakable wall that lay in pieces.
The book of golden scripture some call Hope.

This is where it all goes to wither and fade.
With it the heart of this person decays.
It shall not perish,
It shall not fade.

For it is the heart and will forever remain.

A shadow of a brave mans soul,
The shell of the knight once so bold.
The thumping monotone of a dead heart, an empty soul.

But the husk sustains the hollow man.
For it is not made of cloth or silver.
It is made of Laughter.

Why?

A strange feeling to have, when theres no way to show it.
When you look in the mirror, and wish there was a diffrent person there.
This kind of feeling where most people would hate to feel alone.
But I enjoy it.

Why is it that the farther I push away from the people I love; the more I begin to feel at home.
Why does the deepest peace come in the dark morning alone infront of this glaring screen.
Why do people have to be so complicated? Why do I feel like nothing?

I work at things I do not care for.
I wish to experience a feeling I have forgotten.
A feeling that is faded and hardly remember'd.
But I must pull through and put time into an endless venture.

For this task is what is expected of me.
This is what I have been commanded to do.
It is not my need, or my want to burden these loving people.
It is what is expected.

This is why I have felt I must cast the world aside.
And retreat to a home with a warmth and kindness I have not felt returned.
A home inside the deprived; where the heart still beats proudly.

A fresh start, a clean slate, a new time, an unexplored place.
This is what I need now.

May the laughter inside me build.
As these forlorn memories fade.

So that what remains,
After this sadness,
After this pain.

Will be my Compassion


My Humanity.



Thin Ice

A cold and desolate place.
The air filled with a silent and threatening tension.
A place meant to be warm and flowing.

Like a summer stream to carry away ones worrys and pains.
For me this place remains a minefield.
Of cautious words and carefull thoughts.
For the fear of setting one off and being lost in places unknown.

To live in constant fear from a fate worse than any torment.
This ice bites at your soul.
And makes me fear the summer stream.

How I wish for a home.


Broken

An endless strain against an invisible enemy.
The will to push, to break
These bonds that bind you with a stinging ache.

The suffocating affliction cracking your bones
With a searing pain, it lashes
Through this misery, this burden
This cumbersom gravity.

Pulling you down
Till deprived of vigor
You fight you struggle
You break your sanity

A fleeting attempt to remain human
Through this enormous agony.
It burns at your soul
It scars your being

Your hope withers and screeches for mercy.
For it crawls and writhes
Under this endless thrasing

The struggle takes its toll
You feel empty
You are barren, and broken.

The pieces of a lost spirit
Left in the cold.

A cutting, lacerating wind.
Shredding your purpose to ribbon

A flicker remains
Of a time when hope was sustained

Through the endless pain
The crushed soul remains

For the hope of others
Drags those who endure

To a bright memory
Of strength forgotten

A strength to carry the soul.



Might add more.

TL;DR: If you didn't read it at the start you most likely won't find any interest in it.

« on: August 23, 2011, 09:53:15 PM »
Where? When? Why? Doing what?

Me it would have to be in my room at like 2:00 AM while listening to music.

Because no one expects you to be doing anything at 2 AM and I know I wont be bothered by needless stuff I have to worry about during the day.


If you can't think of anything post your Chillout music.

So our neighbors are getting some renovations done.

And for some reason they must've told the group idiot, to HAMMER the same spot for 4+ hours.

HEY HEY BUDDY I THINK THE ROOF IS PULVERIZED ENOUGH, GO DO A DIFFRENT MEANINGLESS TASK PLEASE.

Thus I hate all construction or loud noises that bother me at 6:00 AM Saturday mornings.

Discuss other annoyances that you want to strangle.
