Re: The women!

Taking this thread in a slightly different direction, women...I love women, but why do romances always get more complicated than they have any right to be? I can't really say anything as cliché as "I'm a simple man", because well...I'm probably not, I'm probably quite complicated and paradoxical in may ways to be honest. But I'm at least unfalteringly frank when it comes to expressing emotion and feelings to a romantic partner. And that's all I ask in return, sincerity. The most important quality as far as I am concerned. But it becomes increasingly clear that what I had found in someone was blatantly not true sincerity, and then I want to run away from that person as fast as I can, but another part of myself (and other people, who tell me that I "expect too much")tries to convince me that I just need to look a bit harder and I'll find that connection I'm looking for in that person. And I end up utterly confused, wondering why the hell I even bothered in the first place.

And to make matters worse, due to the highly unusual circumstances (that I shan't go into) surrounding the origins of this relationship, I think I'm like properly heartbroken, for probably the first time in my life. Is it really so hard to find someone who truly understands me, and doesn't just pretend to?

I just feel so utterly distracted now, I don't need any of this, I just need to focus on training and on my goals. Maybe I should give up on being such an overly romantic fool? ahahaha.

Sorry, this is probably the kind of shit that should be relegated to the "Mue's musing" thread over at Shenmue UK. It's almost as bad as the kind of crap that Beeds would blog about when he was 16.

Re: Unpopular Opinions

Romney Care would've been the same thing except somehow more people would've been without healthcare. At least based on what was tested in Massachusetts.

If he was elected, I bet some of his supporters would've put more of the blame on Obama regardless. Love that double standard.

Lovely! China is still my most wanted place to visit. I'm currently saving up money for a trip to Hong Kong and other locations in China, including Guilin, Jiangxi, and Kowloon Walled City Park. I'll have to use my imagination when standing around in Kowloon, of course, but it will be interesting to be there and see the yamen and other things preserved there.

Re: Last Game/System/Peripheral You Bought

http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/985/ihavethepower.jpg

It's not the last issue, but I was so glad just to see an issue of Nintendo Power after 6 months that I quickly grabbed it just the same. It was the only one on the entire rack at walmart.

Ah magazines, I used to get everyone in existence for free. I feel funny even paying money for them because publishers would just give them to me. I remember when I was in that business if a magazine sold 10% of copies distributed that was good. They really only care how much they distribute, because they can charge more for advertising if they have high circulation numbers, that's where they really make their money, you're pretty much paying for the printing and shipping costs. I used to see the printing schedules for video game titles and knew what was coming before it was announced.

Re: Any other bronies on the dojo?

Saw a couple episodes before. It's not bad for a kids show. If I was a kid I would probably watch it. But as an adult I do find it a little grating after a while. But that's true with most kids shows for me even if I used to like them a lot. Doesn't mean I wouldn't still watch some but only in limited doses.

One thing I do really like is the art though. It has great style and animation.

Re: Gaming thoughts of the day

gaming thought of the day: ive still got jet set radio future for the xbox (playable on the 360) which i have not completed yet. i really need to finish it!

I can't even play mine. (My JSR disc is the dual pack disc included with later generation Xbox consoles) Ironic that the backwards compatibility software on my 360 works with both of the games on the disc in their own individual separate releases, but not together on the hybrid console pack in. :sad:

They may have patched that by now. When JSR HD was being talked about round here, I found that disk with Sega GT also on it, popped it in, selected JSRF and it worked right away. It was on a black 360, if that makes any difference...

Re: Gaming thoughts of the day

I saw a handful of "next gen projects", I saw the devkits for "Piston", "Orbis", "Ouya" and "Durango" and was talking to two major publishers about my status as an indie developer and what they could do to get me working on high fidelity games.

That might not seem like a big deal but you've got to understand, to me AAA basically means death. I've wasted my talent doing a great job for little pay in fields that have nothing to do with my strengths.

The other pat of this, is that games as an industry and medium are changing. I'm not sure what to believe anymore. The success of The Walking Dead is great, its a good thing that people are being so deeply affected by such a good narrative. Thing is, this isn't new, this exists and it has existed for a while. Whats more, when a great writer who doesn't have a popular tv/comic series to work with creates a set of believable and well rounded character, will they get the recognition they deserve? Everything that seems like a step forward is really two steps back.

The whole obsession with power and hardware seems so pointless. I saw games running on console sway more powerful then what we have today but some of them looked like crap, why? because they aren't finished. Animations, modeling, texturing, meshes all that stuff still needs to be done, but all that stuff requires more work then actually getting the game running, which loses priority. Does the game run is less important then, does the game look good, and all this power that people are going to be paying hundreds of $$ for is being used to cover the pockmarked cheek of the gaming whore. Its all just dressing without offering a real change in how we play games at all.

Then theres this idea that anyone can make games, which is good because anyone CAN makea game, but not everyone should make a game. The War Z is a prime example of how messed up things really are. actually you could point at any content protection service and call bullshit. why are tere 90 Suduku games on DSishop that have the "Official seal of quality", how is it that certain default texts will flag an iOS game as unfinished but a complete clone of mario won't hit any problems. There are games on Droid and iOS that crash n startup 100% of the time.

and I'm scared. I'm afraid I won't make it as an indie, just like the publishers told me I wouldn't. I want to tell the story of a man who was molested, examines the definition of rape and contemplates suicide before he can hurt anyone. I don't know if anyone would play the game. I want to make a game that basically goes through what its like to be a native. I want to write about men who love men, about understanding balance and harmony. I want to write about things that terrify people even if they don't admit it. But "they" might be right, and I might not be able to reach a single person.

I want to resist, but I don't want to hold myself and other back stubbornly. Is it the right thing to just go with the flow? What if I'm wrong, what if i just keep making things worse?

All of this (and much more) got dumped in my lap in just one sitting.

Re: Things That Made You Genuinely Happy Today!

Can I be happy for no real reason. Because I'm fanfuckingtastic. Ok so there is a reason. I have done almost everything I set out to do that I knew I could do. Things I wanted and things I wanted and should have done. From doing what makes me happy to fixing every bridge burned by my dad to fixing a few bridges of my own I burned. While I am awaiting the sythe I enjoy every moment I can open my eyes. Borrowed time means every day is a gift. Too long it was wasted on being emotionally attached to forums which I broke out of. (stupidest shit ever..god damn forum lol). I now live a quiet relaxing life. At this stage all the "excitement" I seen. Boring is how I like it. I love it and so much just makes me wake up and grin like a dumb bastard every morning...then you realize shit I gotta piss bad. \:D/

Re: Things That Made You Genuinely Happy Today!

It sounds like things are really going well for you there, Ryu. :)

The problem is we've created a business of trying to make people feel inadequate enough that they have to spend money on a variety of products and take measures to change their appearance to be more in line with what the media bombards us with as the target look constantly. Yet, the girls you see on magazine covers don't even really exist themselves. They're all the products of photoshop and editing software. Living up to these false idols is an impossible carrot on the stick climb to buy and kill yourself into making yourself into something you're not.

True words.

Kenny might like this. This video brings so many nostalgic trips for me.

One of the few things I loved doing with my dad was renting movies. He was a member to ALL of them in the city.So we went to all of them. It was an event it was fun. Like in the video I liked to look at the covers and read them.Smiths a local grocery chain used to have 47 cent rentals so we often went there. One near us was Movie Buffs and they had a huge NES & Horror section. That was when I first learned of Mega Man but never rented them just wondered what this game was with 6 sequels. I remember renting all of Star trek TOS and watching for the first time from Goodtime video. Also the place I rented Chucky films Jason and Follow that Bird. I remember being in that store and saw "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" in new releases and had no idea what it was but looked cool. Video verns was massive. It was costco of video rental. Faces of Death from there.

Later I started going with my then best friend and we rented SNES & N64 games. He was hyped for a game called Mario Party and Later Smash Bros. We played the hell out of Mario Party and ruined our palms. Blockbuster was also selling SNES games and N64 games so I bought a few then plus some star trek stuff. Blockbuster in 1996 and 97 are good memories. Dad rented a N64 with Mario 64 and how floored I was with Mario in 3D and the analog stick blew my mind. Next year I saw a demo for this game Mario Kart 64 and fuck me I went almost daily just to play the kiosk.
My last experience with Blockbuster was a cool promo rent so many movies in certain amount of time and get LOTR free on DVD. So I got that but got exhausting trying to rent movies for 30 days in a row or might have been 20.


I love Netflix and love the convenience but still have great memories.
