I honestly don't know what I want to do with my life
You can always figure it out as you go. My grandfather didn't become a deacon till he was 60 after he went to Vietnam, was a semi pro softball player, got married, had a kid, was a semi pro softball player, was a steel worker, was a fireman, was a construction worker. Now he's even going to be leading his church (Orthodox Church is hurting for priests)

I have a vague idea, and I've formed a life plan around that idea. If it doesn't work out then I don't know what I'll fall back to. Right now I'm only concerned with keeping myself in high enough spirits to pull any of this off.

No, I had just one last role to fill for a while, and i finally found my guy recently and we're about to get it done. >:D

He's also one of the better actors I've found so it's nice to end on a high note.

I'm getting Enterprise flashbacks. They hurt.

How do people play games on their phone? The lack of buttons, decent ergonomics, or physical media simply blows. I got to level 6 in Pokemon GO and then deleted the app. I dig 3DS a bit but even then I plan on only getting 2 more games for my N3DSXL.

I really think that some mobile gamers just want pure time wasters, while many console or handheld gamers like me want something that can replace movies or television shows. That's anecdotal of course, but it makes sense.
 
My inbox is really messed up. Apparently half the things were sent over a year ago

It just does that on mobile. Today's messages always show up as sent over a year ago.

Hi, I'm the best that ever was.
What should I say more? I'm a lettersGAF regular and hummm I have curly hair too!
That's okay. It's just that most of us know where the others are from and what they look like and stuff like that.

Well a lot of kids play minecraft on tablets

But yeah generally phone games are the descendants of Facebook games, Flash games, and those games that come for free with your computer


Tablets are great for point and clicks though and I hope we get more and more of them with tablet support

I can't. Mobile gaming is a total shitshow as far as I'm concerned. There are a bunch of decent puzzle games and maybe a super simple shoot'em up that I can tolerate, but that's it.

Depends on the game and the player.

Doesn't sound like mobile games are for you, but there are plenty of great little games out there that either aren't made worse by the control scheme or take full advantage of the control scheme.

There is nothing inherently better about a d-pad with 2 buttons. We're just used to it and the games we love take advantage of it.

fuck you betch

That one episode where they changed the opening credits was like, a big gulp of water after days in the desert.

It was like my captor had loosened my restraints and given me cookies and a soft pillow. I grew to love Enterprise. If only I could stop disappointing it so much that it had to hurt me all the time.

You naughty people want pics right, everyone want pics...
Age, general location, picture, and if your name is Ben then that'd be useful information. :p

But you don't have to do any of that if you don't want. I just like getting to know the people I'm talking to.

Always great to know I'm not alone on GAF. I can play a few puzzle games on a tablet but that's as far as I go.

I mean, that's fair normally that people have different tastes, but games requiring precise input are better with more precision. Capacitive touch screens aren't that, I think that's also fair.

I'm packing for a trip that I'm in absolutely no condition to take. I'm barely able to keep my eyes open and my body is on fire. But I don't fucking care anymore. I'm so fucking sick of living my life in bed so this is it. If I end up crashing halfway to my destination in some deserted desert road, I just want you guys to know that you've all been really great and most of you are really hot.

I wouldn't play Mario on a touchscreen that's for sure.

But Pacman 256 is a dope game, with a simple control scheme that is perfect for it's simple mechanics.

I could go on but I don't want to make it a list post. The point is that depending on your taste in games, you can find excellent experiences in all the arenas. Some of my favorite games throughout the last 4 years were released exclusively for phones.

That said, some games just DONT work on the phone screen.

And some games just DONT work with a controller.

But every game works on my computer cause it's a touchscreen and I can use mouse and keyboard and I can use controller :)

That reminds me, do any of you carry your 3DS around with you? I'm a little self-conscious about it, and especially in a case for protection, the New 3DS XL is just too damn big compared to an OG.

*thinks quick*

Er... some games require accelerometers and the intimacy of your contact with the phone.

*nailed it*

If I'm playing a game on the 3DS I'll just throw it in my laptop bag. I never put it in my pocket though it's too big.

My ps4 controller has an accelerometer (or whatever it's motion thing is)

Intimacy tho I'm not sure I can do

I have a vita but I'm waiting till I get a bag with more pockets since it's annoying to fish for it

Gross tbh

I'm thinking specifically of games like The Room and 80 Days where the nature of the device lends itself to a better experience than on the computer.

I got that one for work, it has a little pocket that's like, the perfect size for a Vita. The bag itself is -okay-, not the best looking but being able to be a backpack AND messenger back is pretty nice.

Those things rule, forget the fashion police. Only way I could fit my XL in a case if I wanted to. That was a great thread backfire.

Oh dear

Yeah that's kinda ugly. I mostly like canvas bags. Mines over a decade old tho so it's falling apart at the seams. Nice bags that work as both an everyday bag and a laptop bag are expensive though :/
