IF you want I can PM or try to email it to @Sardonic Pickle for you.

I'm not an expert on the drugs, but I suspect heroin may have been involved.

I know a few people who do it, I would know probably if I was there. But if she's barefoot and talking about some guy chances are you're probably right.

I assume you mean @Sardonic Pickle ...?

Neo and Trinity are both pretty wooden, there's no getting around that. It really doesn't bother me in the first movie. Sometimes people are emotionally reserved, I think it works. It's not until the second movie where they're supposed to be passionately in love when it starts to feel a little awkward.

Actually she meant me and yes I'm still in America, but I streamed the movie on twitch for the heck of it and my lady friend and cousin were supposed to show up to but couldn't and I guess Kaynil followed my twitch and got the alert.

I have never really been involved with any RTS by itself the genre doesn't hold my attention. I guess I just think I wouldn't be very good at it.
However I have at least some curiosity in some of the titles out there , so probably is just a matter of time to give it a go.

I'm pretty sure you can play AoE on your PC online still if I'm correct and I personally think RTS games are way more fun with friends or at the least other human competition. I have a copy of AoE and if I can copy it and get it to work and the online mode functions right we could all go for a round of that but it's pretty late here so I'll look into that either later or in the morning.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

The other day I took a walk down to my local grocery store to pick up a couple things, and on my way back I was kinda regretting that I didn't bring my car. The stuff I bought was heavy, and my house is uphill from the grocery store. As I'm approaching the first intersection I'll have to cross, I stop to resituate the items I'm holding. As I'm doing this, I notice a young woman walking barefoot along the sidewalk. She's walking slowly. The way you might walk if you were imitating someone who was sleep walking. And something about her looked off to me. For real the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw her was "I sure hope she doesn't pull a gun out of her purse."

As I'm adjusting my burdens, she turns to me and asks "Are you alright?" At this point I've got my groceries hefted and my path will take me right past her. I respond "Yeah, I'm fine. What about you, are you alright?" She replies "Yeah, well, I'm pissed off." I stopped to listen to her, and she starts to mumble a whole lot of stuff that I did not understand in the slightest.

Now, there are a lot of homeless folk, and a lot of developmentally disabled folk where I live, but this woman didn't appear to be either of those things. She was well dressed and groomed, was wearing fresh makeup. Maybe 25-30 years old. She didn't have any of the mannerisms I'd expect of a disabled person (which I say as someone who works with disabled people as his profession atm). If I had to guess I'd say she was at least a moderately affluent young woman who was tripping on a whole heap of drugs at the moment.

So I listen to her for about 8-10 minutes. During that time she mumbles a lot of stuff that is completely indecipherable. Out of the whole thing I pick out the phrases: "I'm a hot mess!" "Should I go back there?" and several mentions of a "he/him." I think. This whole time I'm trying to think of what I should / can do for this woman. I ask her if she needs me to take her to the hospital, but she doesn't seem to hear me. I probably should have been a little more forceful about it, but then again having a strange man insist that she go somewhere with him might not have been very good either.

Ultimately she says resolutely "I'm going back!" and begins to walk briskly back in the direction she came. I wished her luck and walked in the opposite direction, towards home.

That's a trippy one people can be amazingly unpredictable. I can only barely imagine the kind of circumstances that'd lead to that kind of behavoir, kind of disturbing if you go and look at it with no perspective and look at all the variables.

In this case, a sweet lady and a suspicious police officer!

Don't forget the cookies

Quote from 'zilla

That's not quite a whole story,

That's alright feel free to share the whole story whenever you can, its always nice to reminisce, I've done that a few times, I'd go out at night and walk around lost in thought and consumed by insomnia.

Quote from 'zilla

I'll find a better story for my next post.

Don't stress it, this was a great read, looking forward to your next contribution.

I have a few more under my belt that I'll tell in time soon enough. But I have some business to do before I can dedicate the time to writing them, so sorry about that.

I'm a final fantasy tactics and age of empires kind of person. Though warhammer games are always a riot. I also have a star wars RTS game for the PC I forget the title though. IT's actually my favorite along with FFT and W40K but you can't possibly go wrong with a few rounds of AoE

Nice idea. Personally I think the personalities could have been a bit more well directed, there's also the matter of the real world where everyone seems to be able to express their hairstyle in whatever way they desire despite living literally underground.

Quote from Kaynil

That's a shame. If region wasn't an issue I could try to get you a copy here, they sell the game really cheap because no one cares for it. :T_T:
Sorry to hear you had to let go of your collection. I hope you don't have to do something like that again. In the end I understand and I hold onto some items hoping that if I ever have the need in the next decades they become collector items and I can sell them online to get me by. Still for me taht would be like a a very last resort. I rather eat canned beans if I can help it.

Oh, and Resident Evil 5 is pretty cool in cooperative mode. It feels pretty good to make it through the levels.

That'd be awesome and I actually have my Wii hacked out so I problem could unlock the region settings but don't worry about it it's cheap here too just harder to come by. On top of that I have a like 14x14 inch tv in my bedroom that I have to use for it so it isn't the best setup for that game in particular.

Yeah and watched the third one yesterday

Quote from Kaynil

It sounds pretty cool the score thing and playing as Venom as a reward.
This reminds me of Crossbow Training, as @Cressel and I would fight to get the best score spots. It seems the game is really frowned upon here, I can't find people to play it with and that fight for the top score was for me part of the fun.

Killer Instint I met the Nintendo 64 version, it was pretty fun. I loved the stages. I'd keep using the amazon and be killed quite easily.

Yeah the Crossbow Training was really really fun I wish I still had it. Unfortunately we had to sell all my games at one point cause of money issues.

Yeah it's rather impressive

Post your list of video games for swag. It also might be a good idea to use spoiler tags to keep the pages from getting too too long.

Here's mine.

I want to make a web series with my cousins and I know that music is important. And that copyright is annoying and buying the royalties is crazy expensive a lot of the time. So I found this site that had public domain music. Which means there are no rights to it and anyone can use it no matter what. I archived the whole site cause it seems somewhat old and like the owner might shut it down sometime soon. So if you guys want you can download it from me. Using the app it took me two days to download but it'll take probably an hour or two since it's 3.3GiB there's something like over a hundred audio files all in MP3. If anyone wants I can do some other small sites but since it takes as long as it does please none over 10GiB please.

Yeah another one is Ultimate Spiderman(PS2). I know it's not actually a two player but you can free-roam and rampage as Venom after you beat the game and it keeps score for you. So me and my cousins would make it a who can get the high score kind of thing. There's also Killer Instinct (SNES) and Marvel V Capcom (PS1)

NO and I've still yet to actually pull off a let's play stream though I streamed a few movies with my cousin and a friend.

Ya know I heard good things about 8.1, so I used it for a machine I built for a friend. I fuggin' hated using it.

Yeah I disperse it but it's a school computer. It gets the job done but it's a buggier less functional 7

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Currently running Win7 on my main machine. Got a nice simple Ubuntu running on my offbox.

Nice I have a XP desktop 8.1 laptop and a linux mint laptop
