Support NeoGAF

[jasonng]

F1-GAF was the first community I became a real part of on here. Tons of cool people like you said, but there are different traits to a spectator sport thread and a broad topic like cars.

Unrelated, holy hell is the dota 2 community some of the absolute worst I've ever come across. That's coming from someone who plays League of Legends too.

Play sc2, bromeo. We're very well mannered.

So my last exam is on the 1st of June.

This starts on the 2nd.

I am so tempted.

 

[Lissar]

Posting is overrated.

*posts*


Ugh... I feel awful today. What's wrong with me? It's finally sunny today too.

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

I hate how so many headphones today have bass boosting crap. I don't want more bass, I always set the EQ to treble booster! Don't put bass in the way of that!

I was wondering what had happened to you. Welcome back.

 

[GameplayWhore]

The only alternative would be posting in the rest of GAF.

…it's icky out there.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Hurgh

Webmaster tells me my article got us a massive traffic spike, does not tell me from where. So now I am searching the usual places to see where it was linked.

 

[Silphonica]

To all of you that may remember the story of the wet-legged girl.

I dodged a bullet.

To whomever called it - my best mate is getting back with her.

Aside from that, I've got a whole situation going on where I tried to date my boss which didn't go to well. She was meant to be getting married in July, but she doesnt love the dude, but she stopped dating me to go back to him because shes been with him 7 years and doesnt know how to be away from him. Shes prepared to get married to avoid that challenge. She thinks she can pretend she doesn't like me to carry on with her life, but she forgets how adorable I can be.

My main mission is to give her a metaphorical slap in the face and get her to wise the fuck up. She wont be happy if she goes back to him. She sleeps on the floor and doesn't even wear her engagement ring, shes told me straight up she doesn't like him anymore. Shes started to open up to me and has said that he has hit her from time to time. However, she hasn't known me long enough to know that the sure-fire thing to get my blood boiling is stories like that, and theres a very high probability we'll meet. There's also a very high probability I'll punch him square in the nose when we do. I know my best mate will be near by when that happens though so I won't be able to go overboard.

I used to have a bad temper problem, but as I've gotten older (with 'professional help') I've been able to control it the one and only thing that makes me spiral out of control is guys hitting women and children.

Anyway, I've done the thingy where you go off on a tangent, it's time for mind liberation.

Nice work

Now keep your cool and stay out of trouble!

 

[Lissar]

*looks around* Time to nerd this place up.


Hooray for being here so I can sneak onto my boyfriend's computer and run certain programs I wouldn't be able to otherwise!

As some of you may know, I love messing around with character creators! So I felt quite lucky that I got to play with PSO2's character creator.

My boyfriend said, "She looks strangely like you." I wonder why!

To show just how much Newman Lissar is like me, check this out:

On the right is her normal face. On the left is her ATTEMPT AT SMILING.

 

[leadbelly]

Your character looks like she needs the toilet in this picture. The one on the left.

I think you've got the stern look just right though.

 

[Emitan]

I made mine look me if I was a girl and a robot. So nothing like me.

 

[Lissar]

Yeah, I thought it was a bit weird... the female model has her knees together and feet splayed. I think it's meant to look cute but it just looks ridiculous. D:

edit: Weird robot feet!

 

[Emitan]

edit: Weird robot feet!

But that's how robots look!

 

[Lissar]

Also, 174cm? Giant bot!

Spoiler

I made my character 202cm. :|

 

[Emitan]

I really wasn't paying attention to height that much. But why shouldn't she be tall? She's a super awesome robot!

 

[Lissar]

She looks so cute though! Seems like she should be around 150cm.

 

[Davedough]

So Lissar. How's Yesterday? =P

 

[leadbelly]

Yeah, I thought it was a bit weird... the female model has her knees together and feet splayed. I think it's meant to look cute but it just looks ridiculous. D:

Yeah. It is a weird Japanese quirk. Japanese girls tend to do that a lot.

 

[leadbelly]

So Lissar. How's Yesterday? =P

So dave. How was February 2005?

 

[Lissar]

So Lissar. How's Yesterday? =P

One of these days I'll try it. :< I hate asking my boyfriend to use his computer for long periods of time though. D:

Oh. I gather 'Yesterday' is a game?

[leadbelly]

Ah. Looks like one of those games I will never play.

 

[Lissar]

What, point and click adventures?

*puts up banners*

Go, point and click adventures! *waves pom-poms*

Actually I don't mind them. It's just these days I tend to place most of my attention on AAA games. I have a pile of games I just haven't played. Like Braid for instance. I know it's good but I just haven't got around to playing it.

 

[Emitan]

She looks so cute though! Seems like she should be around 150cm.

Maybe. But if she gets some big sniper rifle or something it might look weird. I don't know what PSO weapons look like.

 

[Lissar]

I rarely ever play with guns in Phantasy Star, so I'm not sure what kind the games usually have (though when I was playing PSP2 I got into using pistols.) Of course, they DO have huge swords. Wouldn't be a JRPG without them!


Also, I've become less interested in AAA games. There are a few that I'll play, but for the most part smaller devs and indie devs are creating thing that are far more interesting to me.

 

[RawPower]

I want to learn to read Japanese.

 

[Professor Beef]

Oh god Lissarbot's attempt to smile in that picture is hilarious!

 

[Gravijah]

pso2? mischief makers? now this is a thread.

 

[GameplayWhore]

Also, I've become less interested in AAA games. There are a few that I'll play, but for the most part smaller devs and indie devs are creating thing that are far more interesting to me.

I'm building in my head this not really at all fair stereotype that AAA games are just movies with occasional button presses, so I'm really hesitant to go after a game that's been heavily advertised and has a humongous budget (and a comparatively humongous list price!).

Kickstarter actually seems to be a more interesting way to shop for games than the regular stores. There's a little more detail in what I'll be getting, the prices are reasonable, and I feel good about going through with it.

 

[leadbelly]

pso2? mischief makers? now this is a thread.

Mischief Makers is a great game. Quite an odd platformer, but good none the less. I've always liked the style of games Treasure make. On the surface it seems like they make very retro type games, but they always manage to add something new and innovative to the gameplay.

 

[Lissar]

So far I've put money towards three Kickstarters, all I'm really excited about.

I hope Jane's gets funded, but who knows...

 

[Professor Beef]

Apparently Fallout 1 is free for a couple of days.

I've never even heard of the game before.

I'm kicking myself -- no pun intended -- that I missed out on pledging towards FTL.

 

[Gravijah]

and people wonder why professor beef is the worst person ever.

 

[Professor Beef]

What.

Specifically, Fallout 1. Of course I've heard of 3 and Vegas, but I never cared about any of the games. Fallout 3 could've been the first in the series for all I cared.

and people wonder why professor beef is the worst person ever.

I'm not the worst!

I'm not the worst!

So like "Leonard, part Six" or the recent Matt Hazard reboot?

 

[Gravijah]

I'm not the worst!

listen to yourself. just... listen.

 

[Professor Beef]

So like "Leonard, part Six" or the recent Matt Hazard reboot?

I don't know what those are. It's more like Dudebro 2, actually.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Meanwhile, in IRC

<%ShockingAlberto> I kept telling you
<%ShockingAlberto> Beefy is terrible

 

[Gravijah]

beef do you know what video games are?

 

[GameplayWhore]

I don't know what those are. It's more like Dudebro 2, actually.

That's probably a better example, considering that the ones I listed (one a Bill Cosby spoof film, the other a Duke Nukem spoof game) are apparently really terrible, while Fallout 3 is not.

Now I wish somehow that there were a Fallout 2 to complement 1 and 3. :|

Ok, so I want to get Xenoblade Chronicles but I don't have the money. What the fuck do I do?

 

[Acid08]

Move on with your life.

 

[JeTmAn81]

Ok, so I want to get Xenoblade Chronicles but I don't have the money. What the fuck do I do?

Admit to yourself that you'll probably never play 90% of the games in your enormous collection* again, and sell off a few to finance a new experience (Xenoblade). Comes with a bonus feeling of enlightenment.

*You may substitute an enormous gaming collection for any other assortment of things you have which you rarely, if ever, use and don't need. Everybody's got something!
