    Also since imgur and this place have a size limit on images I can't really upload them anywhere so the pictures are being hosted on my laptop acting like a server. So I can't guarantee that they'll be up 100% of the time from now on out so I apologize and just PM me or bump the thread if the images aren't showing up.

    Post some multiplayer games that you played and enjoyed particularly.

    Goldeneye 007 (N64)
    007 Agent Under Fire (PS2)
    Red Dead Revolver (PS2)
    Time Splitters Future Perfect (PS2)
    Territory Wars Online (Internet Flash Game)
    Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 (PS2)
    Tony Hawk Project 8 (PS2)
    Gran Turismo 4 (PS2)
    Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
    Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit (PS)
    Ratchet: Deadlocked (PS2)
    Soul Calibur II (PS2)
    The Bouncer (PS2)

    Those are a few of my favorite I'll edit in the systems their on later.
    (Edit: I added all the consoles for the games. Be it most games are on a few consoles but I only listed the versions of the game that I played because I'm not 100% as to all the consoles the games were available on)

    Post stories be them good or bad recent or ancient just share your experiences, wisdom and knowledge with the world for all to see.

    Today I had a bit of an FML period. There's a store that sells 2nd hand games, movies, music, comics, manga, vinyl, and so on. It's just a few miles (ie 3-4km) away from my house by route of major freeways. I took my bike there today as I usually do and on the ride there all is well and I make it to the store without issue. As I get off my bike though I hear a hissing sound and have a bit of an "oh sh!t" moment like "pleeeeease let this not be what I think it is." Unfortunately it was there had been like an enormous splinter of wood that managed its way into my tire. I left it in in hopes that the splinter staying there could slow the leakage of the air and went into the store since I went through the trouble and made it there seemingly without issue.

    I usually go to the PS / PS2 section since those are the cheap games that I can afford that and the movie section has some good deals as well as the music. I scan through the PS2 shelf swiftly and frantically desperate to do something with the $4.00 USD that I had on me. I spot a Ratchet and Clank game, "Ratchet: Deadlock" which was in my price range and I recalled the multiplayer on the game being absolutely fantastic. I have no recollection of the campaign mode though especially since I hadn't ever owned or borrowed it. I picked it out and set it to the side on the shelf so I could remember where it was and went to the CD section to see if they had anything of particular interest which they had the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack that I couldn't afford. Anyway after 10 minutes of digging through the CD's to no avail I go back and the Ratchet and Clank game is still there so I grab it and buy it.

    I walk out the door and look at my bike and the tired looked like it had melted. This isn't the first time this has happened to me either which is the really sucky part. Just outside the door they have a "Free bin" which is just a few bins that the fill with stuff they bought but couldn't sell or that people just didn't want and I picked up some book that looked like it was part of the D&D series. Didn't have a cover though, I was just doing everything I could to avoid the inevitable. I pull my grocery bag out of my pocket and put the game and the book in and go to get on the bike to at the least make an effort to ride it but it just made things worse. So I rode it out the parking lot to the freeway. I then got off of it and started walking it this is the first time this has happened to me in this side of town though. When we lived downtown I had this happen to me in a much more shady kind of place where this didn't look so weird but I was like a guy in a kayak in the ocean with a bunch of sailboats and my paddle broke and now I have to use a ladle.

    A police officer even pulled over and asked me if I was getting on interstate because I was nearing the exit which was an awkward and rather embarrassing encounter to say the least not to mention it's 95°F (35°C) and humid as all get out so I then had to walk over some major freeway exits and down a long service road before I got to my neighborhood by the time I get there I'm exhausted and drenched in sweat but just a half a dozen blocks from home. Nearing 3 blocks to the house there's this little sweet sweet old lady that was just cruising along in her 3 wheel bike that a basket and she looked at me and just said, "Awe, sorry." And I wasn't even sure how I should have replied to something like that so I just smiled and kept on and said, "Ueh, tch yeah"

    Needless to say embarrassing but now that I think of it kind of comical. Not to mention all was made well when I came home to my three irresponsible siblings that I was responsible for at the time and who were supposed to clean and do chores, actually did them this time. And there was cookies so all was well (>u<)

    I still haven't tried the Ratchet and Clank game yet but if it works I'll say that that day was a win just for the game the cookies and the story to tell XD. Anything interesting happen to you guys lately? Or maybe something uninteresting that you can still write for us/me to read ?

    Nah no genre boundries only that the theme has to match

    feel free to include the length too btw.

    I found this CD on the side of the road. The CD is blank but says, "Look at Me Now: Kimmy's Mix [03/13/2011]"

    So let's fill it, one song per post and it has to coralate with the "Look At Me Now" theme. It's a regular CD and blank meaning there's an 80 minute limit so keep that in mind.

    I might attempt a 2 am CST stream of Doom, Command and Conquer Red Alert, and Meat Boy Flash. So show up tonight if you're interested. If you've converted over the times and you're there on time chances are something happened if I'm not live 1/2 hour late and probably can't do the stream.

    The situation you describe, is three things - shit_y, difficult, and simple. These people are not friends. I think it's important you don't shrug that fact off as 'oh I know that', because you clearly seem to regard them as your asshole friends, when really you need to regard them as dangerous. You need to break contact, estrange yourself, block their numbers. The logical thing would be to regard them as dangerous criminals, not as mates who happen to be dick_. Violence is never casual, and you should not treat it as such. If violence happens in future, hope that it's in a public place or a place with cameras and file a police report (it's illegal, FYI). Do not pass it off as normal, unless you want your life and attitude towards it to be messed forevermore. You need to make a decision to lead a normal life, and not be flexible about it.


    I really like how you mentioned this as a both complicated and simple scenario. That's rather prudent analogy. The whole making myself estrange has already been in effect a good while, and the considering them just to be the "dick friends" is far behind. Hopefully I can get away with it being in public next time near some concrete evidence but they tend to be a little bit better than that unfortunately. Really appreciate your insight on it though.

    Mkay looooooooooooooooong day but got the stream embed for you guys I'll look into a chat embed but that's not really important I'll try to have one on the broadcast.

    Forgot I hadn't hit post, also, I added the chat to the broadcast so enjoy that you guys and I am going to make sure everything works in the morning (it's 12:30am ATM) so I need to get some sleep cause i have to watch kids and house sit and stream and etc tomorrow XDDDDDDD but for some reason my emulator won't stream PS1 games but I can get N64 games to work fairly well so I'll see how it shakes out and hopefully my alarm wakes me up :|

    UPDATE: So so so soooooooooo sorry ya'll I meant to wake up in time I swear but my alarm clock broke again I really really need to find myself a new one I feel like a genuine idiot sorry. It was a reaallly long day the days before and I hadn't gotten enough sleep on those days either so really sorry about that. I'm going to invest in a working alarm clock next time I try to do a stream.
