Chub chaser?

Yes and no :p

I was thinking more of like muscle bears that aren't hairy and that I don't know the name for them. The way I see it (hairy) chub -> bear, but I don't think bear -> chub. Dunno if it's just my definition of a chub, but the way I see it most bears aren't chubs with basically no or very little belly.
For gods' sake man, you've got to shake the thing when you're finished.
That doesn't always work :(

It definitely has the best music. DOA2U was a close match, but 4 was just heartbreaking with how bland it was. 5's didn't seem all that great, either.

DOA5 is the most fun, but it lacks a lot of what makes DOA, DOA.

DOA3 was a really special game to me, played it for years.

DOA was so charming to me during the first games. Then it slowly became a bit dark and bland aesthetics-wise - or am I imagining things? Especially with DOA5. To be fair I feel exactly the same about Tekken and even Virtua Fighter :O There's something wrong with me, definitely.

Lei Fang and Eliot FTW, by the way.

@Ty4on: Lol. Screw these labels, they'd be fine if they were useful and not confusing and inaccurate.

These labels are confusing as heck. I'd have imagined "bear" requires having a belly, since well, bears.

Nah, the only two requirement for bears is: a) hairy body, b) big body (muscles, fat or both).
And well, real bears aren't that big, it's all just a fur ;)

No matter how much/long you shake it, there's always that last, single unshaken drop :(

Speak for yourself. I'm a doctor now don't you know, and I'm occasionally the life of the party. :p

Are these the pure ethanol parties?

Also, am I detecting some not so subtle hints about me not enjoying Dota 2 as much as you'd like? :p

Me? Never.

5: Jeanne D'Arc/Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions (Can't choose which SRPG I love more!)
4: Metal Gear Solid 3/Thief 2 (Stealth gameplay ftw)
3: Bayonetta/God of War III
2: Demon's Souls/Dark Souls
1: The Orange Box

My friend is playing through the Thief series again and explaining how awesome it is. He put it as his #1 or #2 and lists it as the best level design he's ever seen. Made me sad that I missed out on it all those years ago. :(

1. GTA IV
2. GTA San Andreas
3. GTA Vice city
4. Red Dead Redemption
5. Rockstar Table Tennis

Colour me surprised.

I play as Kasumi, she's my main. I don't have any specific reason for it except I knew her top to bottom. :p DOA5 was a miss for me. :/ they really took the game i loved in the wrong direction. DOA4 is still great, i spent so much time playing that online.

I always milk every last drop of pee into tissue paper before I pull my pants up. Been doing that since I was a kid. Never have that problem :p

And rugby players are the hottest. Dem asses in those shorts.
I've peed before taking a shower and still got some in my clean underwear. There's like a drop that refuses to go :/
Haven't tried the techniques mentioned in the thread.

I like to send my little avatar around and make emotes or watch games on the big screen.

Honestly, how fucked was it that a game from 2005/06 had better online features than every other fighting game this generation? :/

What about rugby players?

*swoon*

I found it pretty SFW, but just tell me if I should link it instead.

They are hairy (well, at least some of them) and big, so yes, bears! :D

I'm in the same boat. There's so many great classic games that I missed. :(
So many games, so little time.

Took me a good while to figure out what you meant. Might wanna only quote the relevant link or your post isn't gonna make sense to a lot of people.

Edit: I see that you did, sort of.

Tee hee ~


Getting off of the ever-important residual pee topic, would it be alright to ask for a bit of advice ITT?
 
There's a thread in gaming where everyone posts their top 5 favoritest games. What's LGBTgaf's top 5 games of all time?

Mine!

I can never come up with best/worst lists now a days, even for specific genres. I'd be happy to judge you for your lists, though. :D

Oh cool, was just about to turn in before you guys posted :D
Anyway, I was going to preface this with some backstory or whatever, but really it just boils down to: how do I go about getting a boyfriend? That probably sounds naive, but this is the internet and I'm anonymous dammit!
I'm 19 and I work in a Language school with 3 women, and I don't really know how to go about meeting guys in this dreary bit of countryside I find myself in. What kind of, I don't know, channels could I go through? It feels weird having accepted to myself that this is what I am, but not really knowing how to act upon it.

Well I think meeting people and focusing on making friends is the best way to find a boyfriend. You'll meet people who 'know a guy', or maybe even meet potential boyfriends. I just think the better frame of mind is to focus on just getting out there.

Where I think you'd have the most success is trying to join some gay groups for young people in the nearest city to you, drag a friend to a gay event somewhere if you have to. There are gay sports clubs, gay choirs, gay alternative music events... gay people doing things in groups everywhere. You'll have more success this way I think than going to gay bars, as with events and clubs your goal is a shared interest, and not just a shared taste for booze and bad music.

Failing that, there is always the online route, via OkCupid and sites like that. I met my boyfriend online so I think it's a great way to meet an interesting person. The caveat to online relationships is that you can end up falling for the idea of the man, more than the man himself, so my advice would be not to leave it too long to meet any potential suitors you meet online. Even just go for coffee! However, I would say never pressure yourself or let them pressure you. Always do things at your own pace.

Lastly, you could try a smartphone app like Grindr. It can be a good way to meet new people that live locally, but the success with that can be really random - most people just use it for casual hook-ups, so I wouldn't hope for much success in finding a boyfriend using such an app.

Woah, what a great response, thank you so much!
I think I've just got to start putting myself out there more (like you've said basically)
To be honest, I suppose I'd just assumed that I was straight like everyone around me, so it's still all a bit weird :/

Wow, you're weird.

Mario Party 2 was a vast improvement over the first one, and I loved the "themes" in each board. You crazy person.

No problem mate. :)

I'm not that much older than you, but indulge me and let me give you some advice: It's gonna feel weird at times. It might be hard sometimes. You might go to a gay event, look around you and think, "These people are my brethren?!".

I think when I was younger, I didn't really understand other gay events like pride (even though I enjoyed them), and like some people in this thread were saying on a previous page, I thought "What have we got in common except our sexuality?". I struggled with stupid stuff like whether I was 'manly' enough now that I'm gay and whether people were going to judge me.

Then I guess I sort of grew up. I realised that the gay community, at the best of times, is about celebrating diversity. I guess being a bit different from the majority frees you up a bit to embrace anything else that makes you different.

So my point is that if you haven't already, embrace being different and who you are. Don't waste time like some people and worry about whether you fit certain ideals anymore. Make your own rules. Being gay is what you say it is, and don't let anyone else tell you different.

I know that probably sounds like a load of psychobabble but you've put me in advice mode now, so dealwithit.jpg. :p

Ohhh. Did he lure you in with Mario Party 2?

Gotcha... well he does get brownie points for trying.

Sort of. We got into the topics of video games during history, and then N64. Told me he loved Mario Party 2 and he was ecstatic when I said I had it. He suggested he come to my house and play it, to which I responded "You're the last person I would let in my house". He then went on to say that [a sexual encounter] was going to happen eventually and I'm just delaying the inevitable.

"That was MY STAR YOU ASSHOLE, BEND OVER"

...That's probably how it would have went.

Damn that dude really wants you. Carry Mace.

I hate Mario Party.

You might as well just throw some dice. It's fairer and faster.

HEY IT WAS FUN OK.

Besides, the coolest thing about the game was THIS. After the first game they learned from mistakes.

I think I've seen a porn that started like this. Without Mario though. I think they were playing 360/PS3, I can't remember.
 
We were talking about choice and free will in my Philosphy of God class and how we have unlimited choices and that is what gives us human nature; free will. Someone opposed this argument saying what about 'love' "we can't help we who fall in love with." "when you fall in love, fall in love fall in love etc etc."

He was so adorably niave, :p the phrase 'fall in love' is incredibly melodramatic.

I think he has a misunderstanding of such concepts as freedom, choice and circumstances.
We are men of circumstances, these circumstances can be defined as things that are out of our control, they were given. Our parents, place and time were we're born, weather, how hungry we get, "falling in love" etc.
Now these circumstances may limit our choices, but in no way does it impact our freedom. Freedom is just another word for possibility, a truly free man is one who is aware of what is possible thus having more choices. He not only sees option A and B, but he creates C and D. By choosing he is free, but by choosing not to choose, he is a slave to circumstances. We are accountable for the decisions and freedom we choose to exert, it is called responsibility. Freedom, choice and responsibility are interwoven.


“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning​

On the topic of "falling in love", is a concept I have mixed feelings. I don't want to be an object of chance, I want to make it. To nurture, to work on it, cultivate it, it is a creation of I and the subject. Not a circumstance that I await to fall on me. I am responsible for the love I'm making or not making.
I submit two pages, it talks further about falling in love and relationships.

Erich Fromm - To have or to be?


As someone who has slept with straight/curious friends, I would advise you to just not go there. Even if you did get to be with them, it could jeopardise your friendship, and a great friendship is not something to squander.

Every action or inaction carries risks. Having feelings for even a gay friend who corresponds, could lead to jeopardize a great friendship.
I've been in that position many times, for me, one thing that caused me great distress was the possibility, the possibility that it could happen or not. I had to know, I wanted closure. To be certain, so I could move on.

So I took the chance, to be in a vulnerable position, to bare it all. I asked him if he had feelings for me and if something could happen. I asked before we moved further in our respective relationships (He had a girlfriend, I had a boyfriend). We both realized thanks to this talk, that out respective relationships were comfortable, but not what we were looking for. We broke them off.
It's been a year and a half since that conversation, and we are still together. I love him and he loves me, I'm so grateful for this and for taking a chance. Even if this would have been impossible, I would still take the same decision. I had trust in my boyfriend, that he would know how to deal with my words and actions, with maturity and love.

I know it's completely irrelevant, but the American guy has a really weird face.

But on the topic of DOMA, when will there be a result? If any.

Well, see, that video should give hope to weird-faced boys everywhere, 'cause his husband is a huuunk.

I think the supreme court is supposed to rule on DOMA next month sometime? tbh, I don't follow this stuff very closely.

Maybe if some of you are still in the advice-giving mood, you could help me out? : )

Sometimes I feel like I don't really know what I want.

I've been trying online "dating" for close to 2-3 years. I've chatted with a couple nice people. Not one of whom lived close by, so all of which failed. I finally thought I struck some luck with a guy who was 8 years older than me (which is beyond my comfort level), but I kept making excuses for not meeting up. Don't know if I took too long or what, but he deleted his profile and I lost contact, which sucks because I totally would have met him if I had given it enough thought. So after spending 2-3 years being superficially picky, I have yet to even go on a single date. lol

In the real world, I am too shy to ask a guy if he's gay, let alone asking him out. I get terribly anxious around any sort of stranger. So for me to ask a guy if he's gay is out of the question. I know a lot of people recommend getting involved with the gay community, but that's the exact opposite of my character. I like to help people, yes, but I don't like the attention nor do I want to become involved in a group. Also, I don't like the idea of making friends in the context of a gay community or group. I feel I should be making friends naturally in a everyday setting. Not through something forced. I don't drink, so I don't go to bars. I don't have any gay friends.

One of my friends did know a gay guy who might have been interested, but like I said--I'm superficially picky. I can't go out with anybody who I'm not attracted to and I have a terribly long list of can't haves in a guy.

Part of me thinks the reason I don't want to meet anybody is because of two reasons. One, I have crushes on a couple guys from my university which I'd pursue if I found out they were gay. Two, I don't consider myself stable. Stable as in having an apartment of my own, and having a nice sizable income. I don't have either or, so I feel like I shouldn't be dating.

On top of all that I consider myself damaged goods because of more recent developments like my panic attacks, which I've gotten a handle on but I feel like I never really fully recovered from. Then there's the fact that I have OCD, and my family found out about it. And I have self-esteem issues. It just sucks. And I don't know what to do about any of it.

Sorry, for the long post, but I thought maybe some advice could help if I was honest. Also, I should say, that I plan on asking one of the guys I've been crushing over out by the end of this year (since it's my last year in college and everything).

God this is embarrassing. Only uncover the spoilers if you feel you must.

Do you.. um.. happen to remember anything to find it?
For uh... research purposes of course.

LOL. IIRC, it's one of those Suite 703 collections categorized under "My Brother's Hot Friend" (or was it "Hot Guys At Work"?) sub-theme. I can't remember at the top of my head of the actors name. I'd have to wait until I go home to find out about those.
