Shut up.
This is the correct response. Years ago I never had the time or desire to get an original Xbox. Now after finally getting one all these years later, I realized I cheated myself out of some great years of gaming. I don't give a fuck about them being rare or not. The main thing I was implying was that I never got into Halo, or Project Gotham Racing or even the Elder Scrolls game for this system. I remember seeing some of you guys talking about this years ago but I never gave it much thought. Now I've been sitting down and playing these for the 1st time and am seriously having fun which is what games are supposed to be. Fun.Quote:

I got that system in college so I didn't use it much! But yes PGR is terrific. Check out Crimson Skies too.
He's saying it because you can't sit there and say "It's just games" when people can tell you the same thing and say "It's just tanks". You can't attack someone else's hobby and not expect to be called out on it.Quote:

You're under the false impression that I wanted to play these games on a PC instead of the original system. I really thought you out of all people would have a genuine love for original things like books, tanks, older console systems, and stuff like that. If you can love older books, tanks, and interesting items like that, why can't I love older hardware and games? What gives you the right to say I can't enjoy older stuff on older systems, yet you can post about all the old things you buy?Quote:

Why do you feel horrible about not playing halo at release?
You're playing it now even. So you're not even missing it.
idk how to even respond to this...Quote:

This is the OG Xbox? You should check out the Burnout games, or maybe it's just 3 that was the good one. It's been a while, but I played the shit out of those games, and I don't care for racing games.
I don't know. I just don't get the mindset. Like, I buy a stupid amount of old games. I probably own like 700 different old physical games.
I love to find old stuff in flee markets or yard sales. I didn't play the nes Kirby or monster in my pocket until the past three years.
I didn't feel terrible.
I felt happy that I had finally gotten to enjoy it. I felt happy that I'd discovered something rad in the back of a dirty pawn shop.
I just don't get why anyone would feel terrible. It's not realistic to think you should be able to play all the games at release.
That's why I said they are just games. You're never going to play all the games. Why feel terrible about something no one does? Why not rejoice in what you play now and not weep for what you miss.
That applies to everything too.
I don't feel terrible that I didn't own all the transformers. Or all the sega gen games. Or see all the tv shows I liked as a kid. Or read all the books in a series at release.
No one gets to do everything. Double so at release.
Why feel bad about it?
I despise Star Wars, and wasn't a big RPG guy. And yet it's one of my favourite games. Please play it!Quote:

Fat chance of getting anyone to put any time into that now.
You know, maybe not. At least not for Halo. You could spin it as a dorky retro night. And then once people get all up boozed up, they'll start having fun and want to continue multi-player shenanigans in the future.Quote:

I mean shit, this whole thing is in response to Bonus saying " I feel terrible that I missed out on so many great games." it's a god damn phrase. It doesn't mean he's literally feeling awful, in tears, and treating it like a child was just shot in front of him. Everyone else on this board understood what he meant, and what he was saying with it. You though, how many fucking posts did you make in trying to make it something more than it was?
So I say again, Shut up.
Hehe.
While I don't disagree with your assessment I think banning Biff was a bad idea. So, too, would be banning Fe. Nature of these fucking places.Quote:

On a side note I recently bought an Xbox One and am having a blast with it. I wish I had bought it earlier in the year so I could have joined my friends more online—which is fun.
The world is just, like, experiences, man. No worries you missed out because no one ever really misses out, you get me? It never happened, so you never missed it. Like, live life and don't feel bad about things you don't actually feel bad about because every moment is a new experience, man.
Man... Dude.
You don't need to worry about old games, man. Just be yourself.
Weren't you upset at one point when you couldn't afford to buy a tank? Like, in a "what's the point in working if I can't get what I want to get" kinda way?Quote:

I can never tell if you're really this stupid or if you're pretending because you know that stupidity of this level is unsettling and you enjoy being a special butterfly that irks people. Like you get off on the idea that you made someone's skin crawl. The power of causing an emotion.
Nah. You're probably really just this stupid.
Why would a special butterfly irk people?
Do they not cover the classics in canada? Godzilla, mothra, etc?
Mothra is a moth not a butterfly.
Ok.
Ic is a special moth.

I've seen some with bent corners because of the shrink wrap.
I have to return blurays and books to Amazon all the time for things like that. Lately they prefer to roll the dice on padded envelopes rather than ship things in cardboard.
They seem to automatically throw things in a box if you order multiple items. Get a DVD and a pack of gum? Box. Just a DVD? Envelope.
I hate this.Quote:

It just bubbles under the surface most of the time.

"I call white people niggers too!"
Now, now. I'm not drew.
Speaking of dumb bitches (the female kind), there's this one parking lot that my gym is in, and it's filled with nothing but the assholiest of drivers and pedestrians everywhere. It's as if the laws of common sense and decency no longer apply once you drive into that lot. People on their cell phones constantly walking right out into lanes without looking and getting pissed when you almost hit them, cars blowing stops signs, etc.
Anyway, said dumb bitch is in her car and rolls through a stop sign directly into my path. I stop to avoid hitting her and then put my hand up to tell her to stop and let me through since I have the right of way. Nope, she keeps rolling through and around me and goes on her merry way, looking all smug and satisfied while doing it. I would have loved to have pulled her out of her car and shattered her spine over my knee.
Seriously, Long Island is the worst when it comes to super-entitled drivers and pedestrians.
I don't know man, Philadelphia killed Hitchbot.
Shit like that happens to me all the time. Suburban drivers are assholes too.
Yes. Sometimes I only want one thing though. Curiously all of my movies from .co.uk and .fr have arrived in pristine condition.Quote:

can we just stop selling antibiotics to asia?
Is there any huge problem that China isn't leading the way on?
As per the article, they are starting to have live stock gain immunity to the strongest antibiotics we have.
Yesterday I read another article on NPR that they just don't care about climate change and they are a major cause of it, by not implementing many if any current pollution control measures in their industry.
And they are still driving rhinos and other large mammals to extinction.
It's like women dyeing their armpits: a trend that doesn't actually exist.Quote:

the antibiotic in the article was made in the 50s. The specific drug doesn't have much to do with current administration and legislation.
I don't know if the proper response is "well the US sucks because we won't develop more antibiotics"
I would think the obvious "hey, let the animals die and stop wasting tons of antibiotics on them" would be better. At least in the short term.
Or maybe improve the quality of the farms so the animals do not get sick so easily. There is probably something fundamentally wrong with how we or china raise live stock if anyone is using 14 tons of one antibiotic.
A person only has to take a quick glance inside a factory farm to realize things are very fundamentally wrong with how we or China raise livestock.Quote:

Conservatives and the idea of free college.
They have the right conclusion but their arguments are wrong if not bigoted.
Stuff like college shouldn't be free because then degrees are worth nothing (everything worth what you pay) or it will become just like public school and degrade as everyone tries to go to college.
You know why free college is a bad idea? Because of conservatives. The type of parents that buy $300,000+ homes to get in the "right" school zone for their kids. Or pay "entrance fees" for private schools. These are the same parents that if college became free and entry was based on performance, would shell out money for their kids to have tutors. Money that poorer families don't have. Then'll will be in the boat India is in where A- and B+ can't go to school in their own country because all the seats are taken up by A++ students.
See, colleges will never be like high schools. They will never degrade to that level. Adult white men connect their college (and sports teams) to their penis size way way too much for that to happen. No, we will do what every other country does and limit the number of students.
So the value of the degrees will actual go up, as the number of possible graduates is capped.
My dad's dog of 10 years, who I had been taking care of the last year, had to be put to sleep today. One of the best dogs I've ever known and it's really hit me and the fiancé pretty hard.

So sorry, man. :(
Dang.
I suppose it is time for my yearly illness.
Who wants to place bets? Viral or bacterial sore throat? Flue perhaps?
I'm betting polio.
well, it's probably not flue
It's gonna be shingles this year.
Well, if it's the flue, you can always ask the chimney sweep to check on the shingles while he's up there.

So apparently this morning my sister got a call from a random guy telling her that I had gotten into an accident with him and his friend and that they were wanted fugitives from justice and that they had kidnapped me at gunpoint and were now holding me hostage until she paid for their damages by sending them a wire transfer. Thankfully, she was smart enough to actually call me first on the other line and confirm that I had not, in fact, been kidnapped, and hung up on them. Apparently this is a new scam going around in my area. Last year it was dudes calling pretending to be from the IRS.
That is an intense scam.
Yeah, they were threatening to "kill" me and everything, all while I was sitting in my home office working. Wacky.
Apparently they didn't even know my name...they just call people saying "your brother." They tricked my sister into giving my first name, and they were all like, "yeah, that's him." Luckily my sister isn't a complete dullard.
So they just assumed she had a brother? Or figured out through the socials and went to her?
There's a lot of people in the world. Most have siblings. I bet for every instant hang up because the person didn't have a brother, there's a couple that stay on the line long enough to hear the pitch.
Was she smart enough to call the police on another line after making sure it wasn't you?
Yeah, but they said they can't investigate unless money actually changes hands.
Maybe they are secretly trying to pull some sort of Suicide Kings hostage thing off.Quote:

I did it to myself. This is why I shouldn't keep doing this. My whole life I've struggled to find motivation until there are big stakes at the last minute. This might be the time I finally get burned.
That sucks, and I can totally relate. One of the big problems was that I was always able to pull things off at the last moment, and not just get by, but get accolades for what I knew was procrastinated, and then rushed work. Being sick was a handy excuse to explain the lack of progress right up until the push to work, but obviously problematic when you actually become sick during crunch time.
I still don't have a handle on it, but the big thing that curbed the impulse was the absolute shame I felt coming up short. Like empty husk-of-a-man-type shame. Especially when compared to how good it felt be ahead of the curve, or exceed expectations. You'd think you'd outgrow that sort of self-inflicted negative reinforcement (I would at least), but that seems to be my biggest motivator not to procrastinate, at least until I can get on a tear.

Most add medication is an upper. The mind of someone with add looks like a turbulent ocean with waves crashing all over the place. You add specific stimulants and the less important waves settle out and the important ones spike.
*I don't really believe add is a disorder for many people. And it makes sense that the brain would mute less important things and put more energy into important things when under stress or excited. You know, because that would help you survive
Frickin' eBay.
I haven't sold on it in a long, long time. But I was at a thrift the other day and got some wii rock band dongles for $2. People pay $20 for them online and hardly ever ask for them in store. So I listed one for guitar, one for drums. Both sold within 24 hours to separate buyers. Because I'm a noob, I packaged everything up and printed out the shipping before I noticed the guitar dongle buyer included a note with his payment. "Can you hold onto this for a few days, may need to have it shipped to a different address." Not being a complete idiot, I looked up the terms and conditions for such a thing so that I'd be protected. It would take a few steps, but it could be done. I sent a message to buyer detailing how it would have to work, he asked me to cancel the order. After I already paid for the postage. Well, fixing that wasn't a big pain. Canceled the order, voided the postage, relisted the item.
