General Chat / RE: College Football 2007: The Thread
« on: September 10, 2007, 07:14:20 PM »
Huge Buckeye fan here, and I'd just like to post a few predictions:

1.) The National Championship game will feature Oklahoma and Southern California
2.) Ohio State will win the Big Ten
3.) A player from the Pac-10 will win the Heisman.

That's pretty much it, and I hope everybody enjoys this season. I'll pop in every so often when something major happens, and as always, Go Bucks!

I figured Pikmin would be better than ever on Wii. A simple flick of the wrist tosses Pikmin, and for the lazy folk you could put it on a button aswell. Plus, I'm sure they could do something cool with the whistle and gathering controls too.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Do I fail as a Nintendo fan if I don't follow/finish EVERY major series?
« on: September 06, 2007, 06:23:46 PM »
As far as Nintendo series I don't like or haven't been able to get into, by the way, there's only three I can think of:

1.) Fire Emblem
2.) Metroid
3.) The new wave of mini-game compilations like Brain Age.

Similarly, while I've played Pokémon Red/Silver/Ruby/FireRed/Diamond (and play in tandem with my brother who has the other version), I hope I'm not chastised among Pokémon fans for missing out on the enhanced Yellow/Crystal/Emerald, or not following the cartoon show anymore, missed a few of the later movies, or never having played Pokémon Channel.

I could never finish the F-Zero games, because I suck at racing.  The Story Mode in F-Zero GX (Chapter 7) is particularly irksome.  Is liking the series enough to be a fan?

And as a big Zelda fan, am I supposed to play every Zelda game, even when they're rereleased?  (Ie. I finished Ocarina Of Time twice on the N64 and also the Master Quest version on the Wind Waker Bonus Disc.  Am I supposed to play OoT again on the Bonus Disc, the Zelda Collectors Edition Disc, and on the VC?  Why can't Nintendo make saves for the same game compatible?)  And, also as a Zelda fan, does that mean I'm supposed to want to play the CD-i games, or should I be supporting the movement to disavow them?  Similarly, for whatever reason I never bought a Virtual Boy or an e-Reader.  Should I have?

I'm so confused.


I don't think so, and I think you'd have to be an arrogant moron to believe that. Nintendo has a wide range of titles, everything from platforming to racing, and very few gamers can enjoy every genre.

For instance, I've never been big on the Metroid series ( Hopefully MP3 can change that. ), but I still respect games like Super Metroid as some of the greatest games that not only Nintendo has ever made, but that anybody has made. Does it make me less of a fan because I couldn't get into them? No.

Plus, I'd love for someone to tell me I'm not a Nintendo fan when I own every last Mario-based game in just about every format possible, and have been playing Mario and Zelda games consistantly for over 10 years.

With the first issue, I know it may sound corny and obvious, but see if you can get a hold of tech support. I've had a few minor problems with my Wii and they were a huge help.

I don't even consider the Prime series true FPS' though, they're more or less action adventure games from a first person perspective, and while they may share -some- FPS characteristics, they're far more exploration-based.

Yeah, I don't know what it is about the series I could never get into, it's not that I don't think they're good games, I guess it's just not my style. Heck, a buddy of mine can't get into Zelda for the same reason, and we're both life-long Nintendo fans.

This doesn't really bother me because... * Prepares to be crucified * I've never really liked the Metroid games. It's not like I haven't tried to, heck, I own Zero Mission, Prime, Echoes, Super Metroid, and Metroid. I don't know what it is, but the whole gameplay style of the series never really appealed to me, I guess I'm just more of a Mario kinda guy.

Anyway, while I don't really have a dog in this fight, I don't see why any self-respecting Metroid fan could be upset about this development. It's a single player series, and it should stay a single player series.

I'm sorry for giving you the indication I did, and I'll try and make myself more clear from now on of what exactly I mean. As for the reading, I could recomend some books for you if you'd like, one of them in particular I think is a must-read for everybody.

Sounds pretty sexist to me, and for your tips if any guy was rude to me that would be it, and I know I'm not the only one. Everyone is different and while there may be a tendency DO NOT generalize every guy or girl acting the same way. Also you want some advice, be yourself and don't be phony.

If after spending time with each other, and things don't click or she isn't impressed by your real self then I say move on. Personally I prefer things to go really slowly, I want to get to know the person well before I would even consider anything more, and that is why I like going to dinner or something where we can just talk. I'm sorry but movies don't cut it, especially in the beginning because you aren't getting to know each other and your attention is focused towards the movie.


Did I not exercise that to him at the end of my post? My attitude is an extension of my personality, and one that I left dormant due to society's ideas of how women should be treated. Don't get me wrong, I don't hit or verbally abuse anybody, but I'll be damned if I put anybody on a pedestal, especially just because of their gender.

As for what you quoted me on, I stand by that and I will continue to. Why? Because I have a lot of experience dating women, experience that you don't have, and I can view the gender from a non-biased perspective. Believe it or not, I've done a lot of research on this subject, and I recomend you do some aswell. If you'd like, I could write up a short list of books that you could pick up and read in your spare time, and I guarantee that none of them are " sexist ".

Another thing, when I spoke of women being " built that way ", I was talking about how they react on a subconscious level when faced with this sort of situation, because that reaction generally becomes what they feel.


Guess you know more than me right? I could find a short list of books that say the opposite, heck I could find cultures that roles for men and women are flipped. I get the impression you are very bitter and have had bad experiences, but don't insult us all because of it (maybe you've had too much dating experience).


What gives you the impression that I'm bitter or upset in the least? Let alone that I have a grudge against women? I'll be the first to tell you that I've had a very good dating life and that most of the girls I've seen for an extended period of time have been mature, intelligent, and well-rounded people. The only one who's taking what I'm saying the wrong way is you, and as noted before, I never said that men are any better. If you'd like me to start a thread or make a post here reflecting males in the same light I'd be happy to.

I don't get how you turned this whole thing into a men vs women debate, because I never intended it to be one, seeing as how arguments like that are pointless and stupid. What I don't appreciate is you making assumptions about my private life, seeing as how I've done nothing of the sort to you, so I'd like to ask you to stop and continue the discussion.


You come accross as extremely bitter when you accuse women of using men as crutches because they can't help it, not to mention giving advice that you should disregard their feelings and be rude. I would continue with questions regarding your supposed good dating life but I will drop it, but everything else you said sounds severely bitter and quite prejudice that you want to justify with biology.


What I was saying was that in this particular instance, yes, she most likely was. I never said all women do this to all men and that they're so helpless that they can't survive without them, you drew that conclusion.

My advice to him at the end, beyond all of my sarcastic comments and joking recomendations, was for him to be himself and organize the rest of his life, and that when he's least expecting it, availible women will become interested in him naturally.

I still recomend that you read up on the subject, and I say that honestly and not as a sign of disrespect, because I think you'd be really surprised at how inhumane and sadistic our subconscious thought processes can be. And before you even say it, " our " was in reference to both men and women.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Official Wii Sales Thread
« on: July 01, 2007, 04:50:02 PM »
Surely I say unto you, fellow gamers, no update will be necessary before the coming of the next generation. Look around you, and ask yourself, who are the people complaining about graphics? Tech geeks and people who likely started calling themselves a " hardcore gamer " when Halo came out. The average person, which will make up the majority of Nintendo's sales, doesn't care one bit about graphics, and they never will.

I honestly don't know what makes people think that with X big budget title sporting great graphics, that all of the sudden the Wii is going to lose all its appeal. Gears of War, Resistance, Motorstorm, and countless other great looking games aren't doing anything to stop it, so what makes you think Killzone and Halo will? Or any game for that matter?

People are not buying the Wii because it's cheap.

They're not buying the Wii because they think it'll have awesome graphics.

They're not buying the Wii because they think it'll have an awesome online experience.

They ARE buying the Wii because it provides a unique and innovative way to play games.

Don't get me wrong, the Wii's price point isn't hurting it one bit, but I honestly believe that they could've launched the system at 300 dollars and have the same level of sucess.

J/K GP, J/K.

My serious girl advice?  Don't listen to the group consensus, and make your own decisions about who you are interested in your love life.  I browsed over the initial part of what you wrote, though I've read it before, but this time, I noticed that you mentioned your fellow employees all thought the girl you should go out with was Ada.  Trust me when I say that listening to people for advice on who to date doesn't work, because the person who knows you best is you.  So far, I've had three relationships that other people have suggested I be in, and the first two were terrible.  The third was a little bit more successful, but mostly because I took my time getting to know her better first, and she was head-over-heels for me.  The relationship degenerated pretty quickly, though, partially because a lot of the people around me pressured me into it sooner than we should have gotten together, and she wasn't prepared to contribute to a mutual relationship.  As it turns out, one of the people guiding me into most of these relationships was actually using me as a scapegoat to avoid admitting that he was homosexual.  He would focus on trying to set me up as a way to divert attention from his dating life before he came out.

The point:  Make your own decisions when choosing who to date, and the speed that your relationship travels.  If you take advice on healthy relationships, get it from those who are in successful relationships that you admire.  By this, I don't mean hints on good dates, or dating tips and ideas, I mean what kind of person you should look for and who would make you happy.  If someone attempts to coerce you into dating someone you aren't interested in or only are a little interested in, just take your time and do what you feel is right, not what he or she suggests.  That's my 2 bits.

Oh, and if someone is in a happy relationship, don't mess with that.  It just causes extra stress for the couple, and could really screw with their happiness.

Also, you seem too infatuated.  Try to imagine what a relationship with Ada would be like, and you'll probably see that it would be nothing special, that you're just caught up on a girl you can't have.  I think most of us have been through that phase before, and the sooner you realize it, the better off you are.  If you dwell too long on the girl, it really could affect your outlook on a whole lot of things.


I guess one thing I could add to this is: Do NOT be afraid to be alone if you get involved a bad relationship. This may seem too far down the line for now, but it can be applied to your current situation aswell. Why do I bring this up? Because I wasted a year and a half of my life with a girl I couldn't stand, and only a month ago got out of it for good. Did it suck detaching from a person I manipulated myself into believing was special to me? Yeah, a lot, but as the days went by, I saw what little effect she had on my every day life.

The same thing applies here.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
« on: July 01, 2007, 09:05:26 AM »
My opinion on Twilight Princess is pretty plain and straight forward.

1.) It is NOT the best Zelda game.

2.) It is still great despite that.

3.) Wind Waker was a much more unique and inventive game.

Don't get me wrong guys, I -love- Twilight Princess for what it is, but I can't help but get a headache when people say it's the best Zelda game. In my opinion, I'd say it's probably 3rd and possibly even 4th on the list, simply due to the fact that the innovations it made in the series were few and far between. I'll outline this below.

- The howling system was rarely used and on the whole just a pretty bad system of playing the Zelda tunes.

- The transformation feature was done very well, but I still consider the sailing and graphical elements of Wind Waker and the time traveling elements of OoT considerably better ideas.

- They did a good job throwing unique items into each of the dungeons, but some of them such as the Spinner were almost complete worthless outside of the dungeon they were designed for.

All in all, TP strikes me as more of a 9.0 than a 10, which isn't bad. I know I'm probably in the minority in saying these things, but I could care less.

I'm sorry.  I guess you just really really like the game.  As I said I just feel that it was a good game that could have been great.  One of the big steps forward would have been a little less RPG to it and a way to teach the other characters to flip.


SPM appears to breathe new life into a series I've had some major issues with in the past, hence why I was so excited. Another part of it could be that I'm just happy to be playing something new on my Wii since launch.

Guess I should've read the entire thread. Sorry man, I know what it feels like, but the best thing for you to do is to hop back up on the saddle.

Some tips:

1.) Be rude

2.) Disregard their feelings at almost every turn.

3.) Don't reveal too much of yourself to them in the beginning

Those are more or less guide lines I use, but what it all boils down to is genuinely not caring one way or the other. I've found that I've been most successful with women when I'm busy with 10 million other things in my life, why? Because I'm not focusing on it and taking a leisurely approach to the situation.

All in all man, just be yourself and live life, I've found that if you do that, things tend to fall into place.

I couldn't care less what some of you guys think, I've pretty much made up my mind, I just feel like typing this out.

Okay, here's the thing.  I met this girl (let's call her Ada, as in Ada Wong of RE4, because in some ways she looks like her) three and a half years ago when I had just shortly before that been promoted to supervisor at Playdium and she had returned to work after a hiatus of a year or two.  I could bore you with the hokeyness of how when she walked into the room time slowed down to a near-stop, and I really felt like I knew her from somewhere before and yadda yadda yadda.  You get it - I was entranced.  Witty, cute, smart, etc.

Thing is, she had recently started seeing a guy at the time - let's call him Wesker - a few weeks before that, who had actually started work at the same place just a week before (different position though).  Me and Ada got along real well, (I remember one day, not that much later, in fact, she suddenly hugged me for the first time for no apparent reason which really surprised me) and everyone knew that I liked her, even before I did, probably.  Even Wesker wasn't so braindead and he figured this out soon enough too, and he tried to get another girl - let's call her Ashley - to go out with me instead of Ada when he knew we were going to go see Once Upon A Time In Mexico together for her birthday.  Once, Wesker was caught cheating on Ada (apparently I missed a big fight in the crew room since I didn't work that day), and she forgave him the day later.  There were always rumours that Wesker was a "player" and many co-workers thought that Ada would be better off with me, but she stuck by Wesker, even though she said many times that she didn't think she'd ever marry a guy like him.

I quit work there a few months later but I still visited Playdium on Saturdays when I had time since she tended to work then, and of course when I heard that it was closing I made an effort to be there every week.  Even now to the present we're good friends - as good as any of my real-life friends are with me, anyway.  Probably one of my best friends now, even.  We communicate most often online, but because she's always so busy it seems we only actually see each other once every couple months when she's available away from studies and work.  We've gone for coffee multiple times, a few movies (including March of the Penguins...she loves penguins), and even dinner, but she's still with Wesker.

This weekend, Ada, Ashley (who I mentioned above), and one guy (he doesn't need a pseudonym but we can call him Luis) are all coming over to play some Wii.  Then Luis will leave 'cause he can't stay for long, and Ada and Ashley and I will go for dinner at a Japanese restaurant nearby.

I'm wondering if I should tell Ashley to go to the bathroom for like ten minutes so I can tell Ada how I feel.

I want her to know that I like her (DUH, she can't be that oblivious...maybe) but that maybe I'm wasting my time.  If she doesn't like me back, that's fine, and we're mature enough not to let this awkwardness screw up our friendship, since we are good friends, I'd say.  Over three years is unhealthy to infatuate.

I figure that if I can confidently tell her that she means the world to me but that I'm man enough to move on since I'm getting nowhere with her, she might at least appreciate my confidence (which I generally lack and is likely my least appealing quality).  I don't know if she's actually oblivious, or never considered me because I never explicitly told her so she stuck with Wesker even though he's cheated on her more than once supposedly.  I could say that if she ever loses Wesker for whatever reason, but wants some guy, that if she could ever consider me, I'd be the happiest guy in the world, but for now I won't be so monogamous on my crushes since it's a waste of my time and my life.

Is that a good approach?  I'm not saying I'm giving up on her, but I'm telling her I'm not going to bank all my happiness on her any longer since she still hasn't been more than just a friend.  Then she knows but doesn't feel pressured to either increase or decrease our friendship.

Or am I wrong?

YES I'M AN EMO LOSER WHINER VIRGIN SHU'UP.


I hate to be the bad guy of this thread, but give up, it's not worth your time. Why do I say this? Because I've experienced this personally and seen it happen many, many times, and none of those times ended with a " Happily ever after " ending. Thing about it is, you've solidified your position in her mind as a friend, which is damn near impossible to escape, and while she may -seem- interested, she's more or less using you as a crutch. Now, that's not to say that she's doing it on purpose, hell, women are built that way.

In my opinion, the best thing you can do is move on and avoid investing any more feelings in this individual than you already have.

Okay it's official, I absolutely love this game. The mix of platformer and RPG elements, aswell as the dimensional shifting work absolutely flawlessly. Unbelievable.
