I don't care either way. Never use the fight forum myself. Don't like fighting makes me cry.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

The basement in Mario's castle gave me the creeps as a kid. Not even the part with the Boos in it, just the regular basement.

I kept thinking something was gonna come out from behind me.

Are you talking about the part with Lethal Lava Land in it? If so, yeah not so much it gave me the creeps, but it was annoying. Hazy Maze Cave was my least favourite world.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Though I did meet my girlfriend in Stormwind City, and now we live together. So there's that.

Fucking. Awesome.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Did it hit you that hard?

Not as dramatically as I put it there. I was pretty addicted to it for about a year though. Kept coming back to it just before Pandaria came out. I just can't justify the subscription fee any more.

*a tear rolls down his cheek*

Those were the days.

Most of the good times were single player for me. Exploring Hyrule in OoT was just plain new and exciting. I remember my imagination went wild with what could be behind the tree/walls in Kokiri Forest and Lost Woods. Even though there probably was nothing.

Or finding the secret holes in the ground by bombing or playing the song of storms. It just got me going when something new was discovered.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Only 10 years older than me, he was old enough that to me he was a grown up, but young enough that he was interested in cool things like computers and video games.

That's like my Dad's youngest brother. I used to love playing Mario Kart 64 with him, although those occasions were rare.

Also I remember my brother had this friend that would come over now and then and we'd play from morning to late night Goldeneye, Mario Kart, Mario Party 2 & 3, Smash Bros. It was so exciting when he came over. My brother and I hardly played multiplayer, so it was nice having more than two players.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

I drink a lot of water already, which may explain my general lack of hangovers.

One of the times I got drunkest, actually, was when my siblings came to visit me for a weekend. I make a pretty good chili, so we went to the grocery store to buy some ingredients, and load up on booze. I made the unfortunate mistake of choosing to start drinking before I started cooking. It apparently took me over two hours to open all the cans of beans. When I asked them later why no one had offered to help me, they reminded me that they had offered. But I kept assuring them that I could handle it myself.

Hahaha that's so funny. I'm hungry now

Quote from LinkSkywalker

You're the youngest person on the forum, and literally half of my age. stfu

Shadows of the Empire had an incredibly complex code. Essentially you had to hold down almost every button on the controller at once, then you had to move the control stick left and right extremely gently, something like 5 times. It was impossible to do with only two hands, so I held down most of the buttons with rubber bands.

Once you did get the code input, though, it unlocked a whole debug mode where you could change all sorts of neat stuff about the game.

The things you do as a kid.

Man I feel like playing that game now.

I remember playing "Goldeneye" with my brother... in real life. He'd basically be the bad guys, or the guards I guess, in the backyard. I'd be Bond sneaking around with a cap gun and shooting him... We loved that game.

Quote from Vengeance

That sucks man; but, QFT. You couldn't have said it any better. I've always enjoyed writing in my aspects and avenues. It's always been an emotional outlet that I couldn't use words verbally to express. I plan to eventually finish my novel, when I'm not continuously being sidetracked or distracted. I swear our attention spans with all of this technology is horrible. I can be focusing on one thing for like 5-10 seconds and then something 'interesting' happens and boom, train of thought gets derailed and I'm left a splutterin'.

I'm like that with some projects. Sometimes I have to force myself to focus on one thing at a time.

Quote from Vengeance

they really do care about their employees

Define... care? I don't agree haha, though I definitely know it could be worse.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Cheap rum was one of the first hard liquors I tried. I fuckin' hated it. It was awhile before I tried a hard liquor again, and discovered that I really enjoy a good whiskey. It's a good way to get silly fast. Beer is pleasant to drink, but at most I get a very light buzz from it. Wine is nice because it's cheap (I've been able to find $3-$5 bottles of Cabernet), pleasant to drink, pairs well with food, and gets me plenty silly.

I've only been drinking for a little more than a year. I don't know why I haven't really gotten hangovers yet. Nothing more than a mild headache anyway.

Best thing I've found to avoid a bad morning after is, before going to bed, have 3 - 4 glasses of water.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

I actually looked up some footage of it on Youtube, it does look surprisingly playable. I'mma try and get my hands on it.

Also, I realized it's probably what they're playing in this video:

Yeah that's Emporer's tomb.

I really want to find the PS3 version of Staff of Kings. Stupid motion controls on the wii.

Quote from The Inhaling One

Here is my new movie, Gag on Ballz: Battle of Soss.

This should be in a museum

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Well then, The Amazing Spider Man is better than the Toby McGuire Spider Man.

I agree, but Tobey was a better Peter Parker than Andrew. Overall a better movie than Spider Man 1 and 3. Spider Man 2 Tobey's trilogy is still my favourite Spider Man movie.

Ant Man was awesome and I wanna read his comics.

Should I fart?

Quote from LinkSkywalker

So, ya know that guy who starts all of his stories with "Oh man, so I got totally smashed last weekend..."?

We all agree that guy is an asshole, right?

None the less, sometimes mind-altering substances produce some interesting stories. So post your drugs and alcohol stories here. No judgements.

So, I've been looking for work for about 4 months now. During that time, I never knew when I was going to get a job, and I didn't know if the job I would eventually get would perform drug tests. I'm not a big weed smoker usually, but it was annoying to pass up all the good opportunities to smoke that I had in those 4 months. (We seriously had a 12 hour blackout in my area. That would have been such a good time to smoke! Augh!)

So today I got stoned, and decided to go out for a pizza. I'm poor, so I just walked into the local Little Caesar's, and asked if they had any pepperoni hot-n-readies. (They're only $6). The lady behind the counter, as a joke, said "Nope. We've only got cheeseburger pizzas here today."

Now, I wasn't so high that I couldn't function in normal society. I could smile, ask for food, and pay for food, and act perfectly normal. But this joke fucking threw me. I couldn't tell it was a joke. So I just said "sure, a cheeseburger pizza sounds awesome."

She said she was joking. I said she should totally make cheeseburger pizzas anyway, because they sounded awesome.

(Full disclosure: this is about as exciting as my stories get.)

Hahahahahahhaa!

I love drinking with friends...

One time I got very drunk and started accusing one of my mates of being a reaper from Mass Effect and claiming he was indoctrinating everyone. I was convinced.

So strange. Sometimes I wonder why my friends still invite me.

My drink of choice is rum or beer. I don't usually get drunk as now I'm older the hangovers hit me. I get close to drunk though.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Aw. My burn failed.

Your whole post about growing out of the Kokiri Kid name seemed very "hardened." So I linked to the part of your video where you made fun of Max Payne for being hardened.

I thought it was something like that haha so I kind of got burned.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Did you guys play it and it was awful, or is Kaynil alluding to a failing in your sex life?

Hahaha. No no no no.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

I got that job, by the by. I'm pretty sure I've said as much elsewhere at this point, but given that this thread ended on Kaynil wishing me luck, it seems only appropriate that I add an update.

I got the job. I did some training yesterday, and I work my first real shift tomorrow. It's a small arcade. My actual job won't be anything too exciting, but the atmosphere is laid back with some opportunity for growth. Here's hoping it's enough to help smooth out some of my financial difficulties.

Nicely done sir. What are you actually doing at the arcade?

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Not enough attention is being payed to the sick burn I just layed down.

I actually managed to mock you with a video that you made yourself. It was fucking glorious.

Haha, honestly I just didn't understand why you put the video here. Please explain the burn... so I may be burned. I'm a little slow.
