Re: Off Topic 2012

So I'm pretty damn sure the girl I posted about a week or so ago just tried to convey her feelings for me via Taylor Swift

what is life.

Does that mean you guys are never ever ever ever ever getting back together ?


At the very least, you must be an an *** and unworthy of her if she conveyed her feelings with a Taylor Swift song.

It's okay though, you can still hold on to the fact that you drive her crazy and she hates that she can't love you.

Did you make her leave teardrops on her guitar? (**** work for making me know that that's even a Taylor Swift lyric)

Oh, and super cool story, dryer bro, breaking down 14 days before Christmas. Not like I need dry clothes or anything....

I know you Canadians have trees to hang clothes from.

re: Xbox exclusives
I can't imagine not being able to play KOTOR, Mass Effect 1 (fixed now), Jade Empire, Crimson Skies, etc. All of those games are near the top of my list.

Re: Off Topic 2012

My doctor won't let me go back to work until the 22nd because of my concussion...no idea what to do with myself, and the bitch that ran into me's insurance better compensate me for this.

Re: Off Topic 2012

JUST EVERYONE HOLD ON FOR A SECOND.

Neither of you have ever played Super Mario World?

You've never played quite possibly the greatest game in the history of the world?

For shame.

I've played it. My cousins had an SNES and Super Mario World and I'd go over there sometimes play on the SNES. Though I would contend that Sonic was more fun, in my opinion. I never actually beat that game though, because you couldn't save your game in progress and so you'd have to sit there for literally hours trying to beat it. I didn't have the patience.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Sonic was frustrating as hell for me, while trying to play it as a little kid.

I tried to like it, but I never made it too far into the game. I went back and played it as an adult and got very far in.

I still remember Super Mario Bros. 3 like the back of my hand. If the game ever messed up, I could blow through the first world and get both whistles and warp to wherever I needed or wanted to go.

It's amazing how secrets like that would be handed to us on a silver platter in todays world, but the little kid me was able to discover them from messing with the game so much.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Also, Super Mario 64 (and to a lesser extent Donkey Kong) were and still are groundbreaking to me.

I always ended up playing the same levels of Sonic. I liked the game, but never played it enough to make any real progress.

They will, just have documentation for everything. They will try and make it as difficult on you as possible but will eventually pay, they HAVE to.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I think beating Sonic 3/Super Mario 3 were the two best feelings I had regarding video games as a child. Put some good time into those on the weekends.

Obviously that's when games were a lot shorter and I wasn't as skilled lol

I never played Donkey Kong 64, but I did play all of the Donkey Kong Country games for SNES. Those things were groundbreaking, in terms of the graphics.

Like I mentioned before, I stole my sisters N64 a bunch and often rented games for it just so I could play it. My friend had one too and we had a lot of fun playing Goldeneye and Mario Kart.

I thought it was cool that you could plug in so many controllers. I remember having to get a controller hub thing for both my SNES and PS1 so my friends could all get in on some Madden and Gameday 98. Somehow we managed to make it work with so many on one team.

No, but I played Super Mario Bros 1/2/3 for NES. 3 was easily my favorite followed by 1 then 2.

I've been a PlayStation guy from the start, and that is not going to change.

Tried the 360, and it was blah to me. It's almost like the generic version and to me, the exclusives that you get with PlayStation trump what Xbox has to offer by a mile. Not to mention I hate the Xbox controller with a fiery passion lol

I don't know. I can't tell you what to buy, but I would stick with Sony until they give you a reason you shouldn't. They haven't let me down yet.

Same here. I actually always got the same system as my cousins who lived across the street from me so we could borrow each others games and stuff. My consoles went

Atari 2600/7800 - NES - Sega Genesis/32X - PlayStation - PS2 - PS3

My doctor won't let me go back to work until the 22nd because of my concussion...no idea what to do with myself, and the bitch that ran into me's insurance better compensate me for this.

Hard core gaming marathon, duh.

It should if she has insurance.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I've been fortunate in my lifetime.

I've owned or there has been a NES, SNES, Genesis, Dreamcast, N64, PS1, PS2, XBOX, Gamecube, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii in my house at some point.

Also had a Gameboy Color, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, PSP, and DSi


I also had a few systems well after their release. I got my Dreamcast when they were only $70. It's a shame how that system's shelf life ended.

Sega had some good things rolling too. I loved those 2k football and basketball games on the Dreamcast.

It's also worth mentioning that I bought all of the handhelds with my own money. I used to help my grandparents with their garden and stuff and they paid me for it. The PS3, 360, and Wii were all purchased with my own money too.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Yeah, I've been pretty spoiled myself, but was an only child for most of my child hood, then my siblings came and ruined had.

Had:

NES, SNES (Bought myself), Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Sega 32x, Nintendo 64, PS1, PS2, Xbox, PS3, Wii. (Last 4 all bought myself)

Handheld:
Original Gameboy, Sega GameGear, Nomad.

I didn't buy a DC, or GameCube, because my best friend had one and we agreed to get separate consoles. Then I'd bring my console over and we'd game all weekend in middle school. So in a round about way I owned one.

I also lost interest in the handheld scene at a early age. I had a lot of friends within the neighborhood, and played baseball, so if I wasn't at home or in the house, I didn't have an interest to game.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I would have barely played any handhelds if it wasn't for the Pokemon games. I played those on the school bus every day.

I bought PSP in highschool, but only had a few games for it. My friends and I played Socom in our Sociology and Psychology classes (they were back to back). After a few months, I got bored and sold it to someone.
