General Discussion / Re: The $%*! frustration thread

« on: February 22, 2010, 05:13:55 am »

When it comes to having a group of friends of the same gender, it becomes great news when it turns out that one of them (up to all of them) have a potential relationship with someone of the opposite sex.  What frustrates me is this...

Some groups of friends treat it like it's a race to see who can get laid first!  It's stupid!  To them, sex is the goal of their relationships.  Friendship and fidelity take back seats to wanting to be the Alpha Male of their little circle.  At that point, the one guy who decided to save his virginity for the one he truly loves is somehow the bottom head of the totem pole and the group punching bag for sex jokes.  Alienation, anyone?

Unfortunately, I've been in those kinds of buddy groups, and let me tell you: I am sick and tired of hearing them talk about how they sometimes get a booty call from their "girlfriend" that they decide to have as a cohabitant to their apartment ("cohabitant" being the operative term).  

Thankfully, I've moved on and found new friends.

That always pissed me off so much.. that I ended up saying that I actually got laid... so they would stop annoying me.
 Everyone was like that. But when I said I wasn't a virgin. People treated me different in the group. I was too mature since I had to repear a year when I moved overseas.
I don't see sex that important right now. I do know that some of my female freidns likeme as more than a friend. I just can't decide which.
 So I rather keep those as freidns and find somebody else for me to not ruin those friendships.

I am right know in a group where all off them are still virgin and don't seem to bother or compete much. It fells better that way.

Many music from Spanish RAP as in from Spain  . JROCK and JPOP. The Gazette and Antic Cafe or Maximun the hormone.
Then everything else it's video game music or some old school rock or cumbia from my country of origin. I listen to rock but not much. Santana is the greatest.
Oh, I still like band's like Evanescence or Linkin Park.

Don't blame me I have really wierd taste in music but I like most of songs that have strong feeling attach to it.
 Song's that don't need just lyrics to get a message across.
That's what IMO English (not in general) songs lack of.

General Discussion / Re: Natal, wiimotes, and all motion control

« on: January 18, 2010, 11:41:05 pm »

And on the subject of RPGs, maybe they're targeted for the audience that owns the DS. For example, I haven't played Sands of Destruction, but I know it's an RPG. And knowing that there are few reasons for an RPG lover to own a PSP (Dissidia, Star Ocean FD and Star Ocean 2, among a few others), compared to the huge library of RPGs on the DS, and how some people may own a DS for RPGs (I'm an example, as well as a few friends), the game will probably sell better on the DS.

That's not really the argument. I understand that the audience is bigger but I'm saying the overall quality of the games would be better on the PSP.

That's true since none of those games actually use the 2 screen touch screen style. I mean Rpg's can easily be played on the DS with Dpad and buttons too.
There is no excuse but those games in DS have nostalgia feel of the PSOne RPG's and also som SNES ones and I reckon that's why it's sells better. PSP is like a portable PS2. DS mmm portable... protable... 2 psx on one .


Regarding the motion's controls. The only one I like so far is the Playstation one. It's like it sets you inside the game.
It works terribly well and it's what the Wiimote should have been when it first came out.  Now with 3d technology it would be awesome to see what degree of virtual reality they can do. Natal it's just Eyetoy with depth percetion so it's like to eyetoys together ... That thing wasn't even that popular. I reckon if it was good. Nintendo would have done it before Microsoft.

Been playing some GTA4 and noticing how much smaller VC feels after being so in awe of San Andreas...I'm still relatively early in (I was only just introduced to the internet cafe, even though I had already found it on my own while exploring), but there seems like there's less side missions, but I imagine that will open up more as the game progresses as always...

I really hated GTA4 so much I just sold it a few weeks back. It's just bad...
I don't know how to explain but the story is so bad that it made me want to skip all the missions and just do whatever until I got bored of it.
It can't be compared to San Andreas or Vice City. Even Bully is better.


Yeah you get more but they have more story than the normal side mission that you do on other GTA's.

If you like it is good but I didn't really liked it that much.

MagilsugaM, that is really wrenching to hear.  It's hard enough losing friends, but potentially having a family fall apart on top of it, geez.  And, I don't know what goes on between your stepfather and your mother, but I really hope that it doesn't wind up violent in any way...

When I came to the main page of the site today, the displayed slogan happened to be my now favorite quote from Chrono Trigger:

Every night has its day.
Even forever must come to an end...
I think.

Heh, for what it is worth.

Well... I don't care anymore since I have never had a "family" but even if I did I wouldn't be perfect. I have my dad in my country and we talk to each other and he use to see me every weekend but now taht I came here I realized what I have lost.

Anyways there is no physical violence involved so it's all cool... he doesn't have the guts to hit me or my mum. Plus I am bigger than him. I think he is scared. However, he wants to throw us on the streets as soon as we get the permanent residence, it's gonna be though but we gonna make it through just fine! 

That's an important lesson. Contrary to what you might read in literature or see in films, a blossoming friendship with an interesting person belonging to the sex of your preference is not typically well-suited to develop into a romantic relationship. Sometimes--nay, usually--a friend is just a friend. If you push for romance with every interesting female you meet, you will end up with male friends only.

That's what happens most of my life. Only those girls that actually "asked me out" or started it were the ones that I have formed successful relationships with. Every time I screw up and go to the friends side because I don't know how to do a romance approach. =/ I guess I will learn that with time.

Good luck making it through.

Thanks Z!

May the Springtime of Youth give me energy to achieve the impossible!

Thanks you all guys... I will post again if anything changed!

I hate whats going on now! I have this girl friend at school. She is a really shy girl but now she became really talkative. After we got to know each other I started to have feelings for her. However, everytime I tried to tell her she ran away. So then she realized with me classic tactic of "show them with out words".
In the end she never gave me an answer and now we are farther apart than ever...
I hate that I didn't just keep her as a friend. Now I lost her both ways =/

I also hate my bed I wake up with such a pain in my back and neck every damn morning... DAMN!
I've been cracking my neck since then! I might go to a chiropractor.

Oh, plus apart from all that my parents are divorcing now... and is the most horrible thing ever. My mum divorced my biological dad when i was like 2 so I have never went through such a thing. This happening again now that I am 18 is such a freaking pain.
If this happens I might have to go back to Argentina because the guy is such a fucking asshole. I nearly beat him down last time becasue he didn't want to sign the papers to receive the Youth allowance.

So only money i get is from my grandparents.


CAN I SAY SOMETHIN!!!!
FUCKKKKK HIM!!!!!!

I HATE THAT FUCKING BASTARD! HE THINK HE IS MY FUCKING DAD AND THAT HE HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO!
AND TREATS MY MUM LIKE SHIT! I SWEAR IF SOMETHING HAPPENS I GONNA FUCK HIM UP!

Well... I guess I took that out! I haven't talk to any friends about it... so I just yell it out load here... DAMN IT!

Don't worry I only managed to figure out half of the things myself! XD
So the stardust and all that stuff might be useful. Also yeah i noticed that the only way to level up its with bosses. So I try to avoid the random encounters but since it's kind of timed it's hard to do so. Otherwise I love the game it's just the encounters can be annoying.

Also I always in most RPG have one mage and 2 warriors. So mage I use it for magic and healing then one balance warrior and a fully offensive one. It's just the best strategy I have for any rpg dunno if it will apply in this one since I haven't got any magician characters. So far I use Rose, Dart and Lavintz. Just now Shana got SICK!! NOOOO!!! (reminds me when Kid got sick in cross ) XD

Anyways thanks for the info I will be sure to check out the stuff while playing the game and as soon as I get there.


BTW you should play Jade Cocoon. I always recommend that game because it's epic. Between this (LoD), Jade Cocoon, chrono cross, are my top 3 games for PSone. After those its Digimon world 3.

The game, it's weird feels like a crossover between Zelda and Pokemon with a very dark atmosphere. Just get yours hands on it. Although the sequel for Ps2 was the one which received all the praise, it doesn't even touch its toes of the first one.

It's like the third time I mention the game on this topic lol....

General Discussion / Re: Can Videogames be considered as art?

« on: January 15, 2010, 01:57:14 am »

Yes... video games will always be art... you cannot deny that they are not.
From the engaging stories,
To the beautiful graphics,
even little parts that makes us laugh,
and those that makes us cry.

The video games are expression of feelings, music, sound, video, story, images, etc.
Every piece of art are in one package.
Every piece of a videogame is art!

Arkham Asylum is consistently amazing. I don't think anything in this game has disappointed me so far.

Yeah, i am nearly finishing it but my computer is running it slow i should have bought i for Ps3. So far a friend spoiled me the ending... lol and it seems its a bit disappointing.

What about Plants vs. Zombies?

I haven't even played that yet even thought some friends asked me to.

Wow, kudos on sticking with that...I had to give up after a couple days. To think they could get so much right with the series and then flush it all away again...

Yeah... i was as disappointed on that game as everyone else. It was like Resident Evil 4 all over again told in a different way. And other thing Jill wasn't blond that pissed me off...

I still can't get into fucking L4D2...it all seems very...samey...

Same, I still haven't finished any of the campaigns not to mention that i quit every time because i get bored. It's only good to release anger and chop heads off with your "ninja Sword" or baseball bat!


BTW So far Legend Of Dragoon is amazing and I still wonder if Shana gets the powers fast because Lavintz its kinda useless!
3 bosses in a row and I didn't have any more Health Potions... I killed them all... The game it's getting real hard...

Thanks, Dapifer for the info about LoD.
 And you are right since all the net expanded to consoles... The overall gaming experience changed dramatically. It's for either good or bad. However, it's nice to see some dev's that have the balance between the Single Player campaign and the multiplayer.
Games like the old medal of honor's are the ones I used to love now not many are about the fun and single player experience. It's kinda sad....

Today I started to play Legend Of Dragoon and I must admit that game it's awesome.
I have never played it before, and it's just stunning.
The graphics are beautiful, when I saw the water I was like. Is this PS1?
The gameplay is really cool too but it took me a while to push the button right when the square reaches the center.

I am also trying to finish .//hack part 4 Quarantine which I have never finished yet.
I got the first 2 back in 2005 when i first got my PS2 and the last 2 where hard to find.
So I got them not long ago and started over. I still forgot how frustrating it is to get the damn Virus Cores... >___>

Well, I am also playing Siren: Blood Curse and i must admit that is the first creepy game I found on this console generation.
Now everything with zombies or necromorphs(dead space) is considered Survival Horror.
So far 2 games Dead space and Siren that's indeed sad.
Resident Evil 5 was a mess...
 I finished it once and that's it...
It's only good to play with friends.

Good games were the old ones.
It seems that now everything is online multiplayer.
The experience of multiplayer can only be defined when you play with someone next to you and you can get the satisfaction of beating your friends.
Left 4 Dead 2 is good but I would be awesome if it had offline multiplayer. That would be just awesome.

BTW, I hope Needlemouse is going to be good as the old school Sonics. The new ones are just bad!
Oh yeah, the new Prince Of Persia is gonna be on the Sands of Time trilogy so no more crappy story for kids like the old one. HAHA!

WOW, I suck... This is like my longest post lol

I'm playing Arkham Asylum too.

I got my PS3 today (with the aforementioned Batman, plus Mirror's Edge). I want a good game for online play, but MW2 looks so... gritty. I dunno... I'd like to play it online though, I did really enjoy a CoD game online once... Help me out here. D:

Just played Mirror's Edge, what a piece of shit. It's a nice concept but I'm finding it near-impossible to make it through the second level.

Just get Killzone 2 or Resistance 2. Both have awesome multiplayer, specially Resistance2 64 players brawl is mind blowing.
Uncharted 2 is awesome too but if you haven't played the first one, I would still recommend it.

Just check some of the exclusives since you got a PS3 now. It's worth it.

I used to play Joey the Passion online with a friend using a program called hamachi. It's a lan emulator, so we play as if our computers where linked through lan.
But before I used to play a lot with real cards. It's been years since I don't play, I should start practicing again.
