I don't like the pink triangle, only because the first time I came across it was reading about the whole gay holocaust, so I still associate it with that, and not an empowerment symbol.

Really?

I won't dress up in animal suits for you.

Also I was playing Fallout New Vegas a lot these past couple weeks, and I appreciate that there is actually a tangible benefit to playing a gay character. I've got to play through it a 3rd time and stick with Arcade this time, and get a third ending.

And then maybe I'll go for the final ending and side with the douchebag Mr. House.
 
gay characters in games have always been weird in games. Kanji in Persona 4 is the only example that I can think of where a gay character hasn't seemed 'off'

My case is kind of weird, though, I know plenty of cool people I just can't muster the energy to maintain contact with any of them. So I don't really feel very bad for myself since I'm entirely responsible for it.

Oh really? :P I've gone by that on some other sites but both Dany, Dan were taken here. Also, I'd be confused going into the game of thrones threads seeing people call Daneryeus as Dany

Call it whatever genre you like but I like Mass Effect a whole lot
 
Bethesda games have boring gameplay for me sadly. I got bored of Skyrim before 15 hours of playing. Fallout I couldn't handle 10 hours and Oblivon the same.

I know people like the freedom of the world and the loot but not for me.

I rather play something more polished/less buggy with more engaging gameplay. (now I sounded totally like a dick O_O)

I never played a bethesda game. [ yeah don't shoot me] but I agree. It's just not my type of game. I got 3 free months of gamefly to use so I might try one. Not sure about skyrim because I've heard some things about the ps3 version

Still hoping we can date him in The Golden. ...... we're gonna be disappointed -_-

That would be so awesome. Aren't they going to have the main dude be either a guy or a gal?

Narukami-kun is still the only main character :( i saw the new thread today about being able to dress the main character in a schoolgirl uniform. Not sure thats right... maybe girl confirmed?

I have the PS3 version and in my 60+ hours of gaming I have encountered 1 bug that won't prevent me from finishing the game (it's a side quest). Granted I've only done 2 quests off of the main quest but still, should I consider myself incredibly lucky?


Also, since everyone is boring in here apparently, let me tell you a story.

I moved to NYC last summer. In August I met this guy that I knew was only in the city for the summer. However, being new to the city and all I thought that it would be good for me to meet people even if I knew I wouldn't be able to have a long term relationship with them if we got along great. We saw each other in August, everything went better than expected and I slowly started to think that that guy was actually pretty cool and somehow I saw myself liking him a lot when on paper I wouldn't have been able to tell. September came and he went back to Toronto to finish school and I stayed in NYC and got pretty busy with school and work.
Before he left I told him that we should keep in touch, but I didn't necessarily mean it because I know these things dont really work when you've known the person for barely a month. Somehow we kept in touch and Skyped fairly regularly.
I got the occasion to get cheap plane tickets to go see him in Toronto. I had never been so even if we didn't hook up I would still get to see the city and visit Canada for the first time. I went, we hooked up and the weekend was awesome. Now he's one of these rare person with whom I can have deep and meaningful conversations about anything. He's a great person and is genuinely interested in what I do even if it's not his field at all (he studies finance, I'm more of a scientist). Sivwe had long talks about a number of topics, included what we were and how we would date each other if we were in the same city. However I'm really not in favor of long distance relationship so we settled on not being anything.
He's supposed to move to NYC this summer and when he came to NYC right before Christmas we had a long talk. We agrees that despite everything we were in an open long distance relationship: even if we didn't label it that way, we were. We also agreed that we liked each other a lot and that we were at a point were he wasn't comfortable anymore with the open part of the relationship. I wouldn't be either except I feel like we haven't had a proper relationship so I don't think of what we have as being one. I think I just didn't have time to think about it as much as he did. I purposefully avoided thinking about it because I didn't want to be distracted for my finals and other deadlines I had.
Anyway, so we're now at a point where I have to decide if I want to commit and start a committed long distance relationship or not. On the one hand I like him a lot and would not think a second about being monogamous If he lived in NYC, on the other hand, we've only been with each other forba month and a week. Even if we have known each other for 5 months, I still feel that it's not enough for me to be in a long distance thing. I'm afraid it's gonna put pressure on the whole thing and jeopardize the relationship. If we see each other once a month, there's gonna be a huge amount of pressure for these weekends tobbe perfect and if they're not we'll be disappointed and it's just gonna spoil everything.
Right now my stance is this: we should break things off while we're ahead and then once he moves to NYC (I'm also not 100% sure he will so I don't want to "waste" 8 months) we can see where we're at and reassess. He's gonna want to date since he'll be new to the city and I might have someone else by then, who knows?
My last relationship was long distance and it ended up not working because he decided he didn't want to move to NYC in the end, hence why I'm trying to be pragmatic about the whole thing.

Sorry about the long wall of text. Just wanted to write this down and share it with people who might be or have been in a similar situation. I also think I tend to purposefully choose to be in the type of situation, at least if it doesn't work out I can blame it on life getting in the way... Ha.

You also have Jimmy (the main character) from Bully. He's bisexual, but the gay guys you can hook up with are completely normal aside from being each one part of a stereotyped social group (nerds, jocks, greasers, punks...).

I'm part of the problem, I love Skyrim. Fucking great broken ass game.

We fucking love Skyrim. In fact, the bf is playing his copy right now. I'd fire mine up but I just got back from 10 days away with his family (which was awesome, but i'm exhausted) and I can't bring myself to push the button. I normally hate 'medieval' or fantasy style stuff but I've been completely sucked in.

And in regards to the bugginess of the game, we're all freaking out about it but none of my friends playing the PS3 version (me included) have had many bugs apart from the odd, very rare lockup or some slowdown after a few hours of play. Hopefully won't get worse.

say no to him.
 
I'm with Ben. You already reasoned with yourself the most sensible solution. So go with that.

Why aren't you willing to give it a chance? It wouldn't end up the same way as your last long distance relationship because you know he's moving to NYC soon. I guess it depends if you see a future with the guy. I'd give it a shot though. He seems to really care about you if you can have meaningful conversations with and he cares about your work in your field.
 
Soooo bored today. No one talking, don't wanna play anything today and nothing interesting on T.V. FML

I hate those kind of days. When that happens I sometimes just go for a walk. Think about life, try to find new and interesting stuff while I walk, try to find new places to eat. I know that sounds boring but I enjoy simple things like that. Especially when the day seems to drag on with nothing to do.
