Re: Things that pissed you off

You never fooled me.

Having an uncertain future due to things going wrong for over a year pisses me off.
Like Kenny's post, that kind of "administrative" stuff combined with doubts about future work, studying, conflicting schedules, maybe having to move again,... And all pose dilemma's where every choice is a mix of good and bad. Maybe I'll get a secretary to sort out my life?




Here you go, breast milk is perfect for a school boy.

Re: Random Thoughts! v2.0

Greetings, Shenmue Dojo.

It seems it's that time again...
I delayed it. I did.
In all honesty I don't know how I was able to freeze the clock at two minutes to midnight for aslong as I did.
But you can't run forever.
Not forever.
Not when you're going nowhere.

Yes, I am fully aware how pathetic it is to share such things in a internet forum. It always reeks of lameness and attention seeking.
I don't have anywhere else to leave such thoughts and such feelings, so please bear with me. Ignore it. Delete it if you must.

Let this be my confession, my testament, my writing on the wall...


Tomorrow I lose everything I have, again.
Everything I haven't lost yet, I mean.
A home, the worthless 'job' I had (that still payed part of the expenses), a couple of friends (the few true ones I have), my few belongings and yes, the few precious videogames and the one console I have at present.

300 euros late on the rent will turn to 500 euros late in the next two weeks.
All the money I have sums not even 40 euros.
I have nowhere to go.
Not family, not friends.
My girlfriend is heartbroken but I'm already owing her 200 euros and she just can't help me more.
My landlord is the only friend I have that would give me a hand in times of need. Yes, that's the same landlord I'm already owing 300 eur...

I just can't find more excuses to keep delaying the end of the world...

For the last couple of weeks I have been lying to everyone about still being working on the coffee where I was working for a while. I was sent away in the begging of the month but I just couldn't face the consequences of that happening when it did. I have been lying to everybody about it, namely my girlfriend and my landlord, hoping I could get a job elsewhere or get the rent money I owe some other way.
I delayed the payment time and again, and again and again, but the shame and the guilt have grown too big and my landlords' pacience as long been lost.
Plus I have no perspectives at all.
I have been delivering some resumés here and there, knocking on some doors but nothing.
Every time I look at the newspaper Portugal is deeper in the gutter. We will be the new Greece soon enough.

Ever since I turned 18 I have lacked any type of support or structure, if you know what I mean.

After being homeless for about 3 years, I have been taking precarious jobs or odd jobs, being paid under the table, because for one, I didn't had the time nor resources to look and conquer proper ones, but also because I have a huge void inside myself for aslong as I can remember that paralyses me with fear, that leads me to keep running away, running away from things I can't even name most of the time. I guess I'm talking about my past, my history, my parents, myself, fear of failure, I don't know...

I hope that I can one day repay the few people that have helped me, namely my girlfriend and that friend of mine that is currently my landlord.
I hope they will not think ill of me, I hope they don't think I'm a lier, even if I lied to them.
This is the most important thing for me right now. The only that truly matters.

I don't have a clue about what the day after tomorrow will bring for me but I hope that one day I will be able to rise again, I hope I somehow will truly find myself and conquer a chance at redemption.

I hope I will be able to get back here and have a good time with you lot.

I raise my glass for you, my friends.

I thank you for all the entertainment, all the enlightment, all the laughs.

Even when you can't get along with each other, never stop being a brotherhood.
There's nothing worse than being alone.

Cheers, everybody.

I hope I can see you around.

Your good hearted Loki,

Carlos

Re: Random Thoughts! v2.0


I lied about still being employed out of shame and guilt for having such a crappy life, just that.

I don't know if I was calling for help as in a 'raise me the funds to prevent it from happening' sort of thing.
Mostly I needed to talk with somebody.
I would not need 500 euros. 300 would be enough to get me a shaddy bedroom and hot water for a month plus enough food to survive. I don't know how we could do such a thing, nor will I beg/demand/ask whatever from you guys.
I praise your friendship and/or companionship as is.

Your out on the streets? Where are you currently sleeping?

I think we should do everything we can help darky :sad:


Found a place that lets me have unlimited internet time for 2 euros. Will try to log in more often. Yesterday I paid 2 euros for a hour.

Your thoughts alone are cherised behind this stange looking glass I'm reaching you from.

Re: PS4 small leap in power less costly *RUMOR*

Don't trust this rumour.
Sony and Microsoft are going for a big leap, like many important figures in the industry have said themselves.
Look at the latest first party and third party tech demos for the Ps4 and X720 (they call it 'next gen demos'), and the urgency of Sony to go 4k.

Re: Random Thoughts! v2.0

Been very busy the past few days. I heard Peter dropped off.

What happened?
he got mad that miku got more votes than ryo and said something about shenmue being a disgrace and not worth moderating it's fan forum anymore

kidding he decided to stay with us despite that


No way!
That is truly what happened?!
Miku as nothing to do with the Shenmue community and vice versa.

Anyway, I'm sure if that is what went by he just was having a bad day and exploded.

Here's Miku for the ones that don't know her:

Re: What "makes" Shenmue for you?

[color=#00FF80]Shenmue is special to me for all the reasons everyone has said. For me, it's the incredible music, moving story, interesting characters, and the magic realism (my favorite genre). Something I think not a lot of people mention or appreciate about Shenmue is that it was pretty much the first game (and I can't think of another since) that atmospherically created an ordinary, even mundane world, that felt realistic. And yet, there are little hints of magic that start to develop and a great ancient secret or mystery buried in that, that slowly emerges as the series progresses. [color]

If I ever could develop a man crush (I can't, contrary to some) it would be you, because of this.
One of my biggest Shenmue draws, one so rarely mentioned.

I said it many times in the past, but when Shenhua 'blows' the dandelion' seeds it's like magic is suddenly really brought to life right there in front of your eyes, it makes you believe in the magickal, thanks to the subtility of how it enters (and never, ever leaves) the world of Shenmue since the very beggining of the original game and just because of the way Yu' story handles the mystical aspect of it, so soberly, so tenderly, without excess nor lacuna.

My spirit will never rest knowing destiny awaits...

Sinister, grotesque, frightning enemies in games

The title says it all, really.


My first mention is on the creepy camp, and has much to do with the metaphor behind it's at first apparently messy, uninspired even, design:

SH2 story spoilers: I think it represents the abuse Angela was a victim of, as a child. The monster looks like a man investing upon a child, in a bed. The screaming mouths, almost like vaginal holes, also point to this tragic, disturbed truth.

A more tragical-comical entry, bizarre in it's own right, from Parasite Eve:

I think I can tweak it some more and make it better, but unfortunately this was originally written for a short film story contest and the due date is tomorrow. I like the story though. It was really fun to write for. I'm hoping the decision to tie it into my DEUX script will won't backfire, but fuck it if it does.

And yes, that's Ben Whishaw as Q in the pic. Couldn't help but think of him as the protagonist the entire way.

Anyways, I hope you guys read it and I really hope you enjoy it. It's a 30 page script, very short read.

*walks off, whistling away out the door*


I think today I can't but I will read it as soon as I get back online.
Keep writing and sharing it with us!

Best of luck to the contest.
