[...] and it'll be interesting to see how you go about reconciling the personae you use for regular social interaction and text-based anonymity, when talking to someone ostensibly from one sphere with the set of tools you've cultivated from another.

Exactly, and this is the part that I anticipate as being so peculiar that the only word for all of this situation I can come up with really, is "strange". It's such a strange phenomenon of our times to have created situations like these, where deep theoreticals about the nature of personae etc become a very concrete real life adventure so to speak.

Philosophical mind games have become a reality so let's what we can learn from this.

Just finished the main story from Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. The joker is such a good character in both of those games that it makes the movie Joker version a joke of a joker, lol. Best Super Hero video game franchise. Followed by the Infamous series. Can't wait for Arkham Knight.

Do you prefer one of them over the other? I really preferred the first for its tighter scope and focus.

Oh and I prefer Adam Levine with his dark hair, but I also didn't mind the blonde as a phase. Reminded me of Fight Club.

The best one is the best. What I liked about Arkham Asylum is the atmosphere of the game, and the first half of it. The joker is one of the most interesting and best written antagonists in video games. Arkham City was fun too, especially playing as Catwoman. Yet some of the enemies like Deadshot and Bane are forgettable enemies. Bane was much more interesting in Asylum. All the murder investigations seemed pretty cool for Deadshot, but the final fight was disappointing. The same for Szas.

He doesn't look bad, but it's just that I have gotten used to see Adam Levine with dark hair that I just think it looks better. However if the opposite was true, I would think blonde looks better.

I'm over it tbh, the way women flirt is typically more indirect, which makes me feel like I am just supposed to play dumb for convenience. I'm almost aways aware that it's happening, but if you recognize it then you have to address it :p

Usually? Act nice but clueless and then avoid them once the conversation ends, lol. My social attitude is maybe slightly 'aristocratic', I'm kind of equally friendly to everyone, but the consequence of that is I'll be aloof or just 'cordial' once someone tries to get me to be real with them and I don't really feel like going there with them, because they got the wrong idea or something. I'll be as diplomatic or charming as I like, but being approachable doesn't really entitle people to learn personal things about me.

This short woman way older than me was looking at me and said hi real awkward while I was picking out a Christmas card. She later walked up to me and turned around and walked away. 100% of me hopes that's not the type of person I attract but also I'd be very flattered if that's what was going on.

One things that I disliked about Arkham city was the plot, especially after the fight with Hugo Strange (not much of a fight) but
When Ras Al Ghul comes back and kills Hugo Strange, and Hugo strange admits working for him. That it was all Ras AL Ghul's plan. WTF? Why did Ras Al Ghul tried to have Batman to kill him,to replace him as head of the demon, and marry his daughter Talia in the first place? It makes no sense if Batman would have said yes, and killed him to become the head of the demon. What of Hugo Strange and protocol 10 then? In addition, Ras Al ghul was trying to have Batman command his army to kill all human beings, so Protocol 10 once again, makes no sense. It also doesn't make sense that Hugo Strange would of replaced Ras Al Ghul, but I don't think that was the plan.
In any case the Joker plot twist was unexpected, and much better. If the Hugo Strange part would have been the ending, I would have been disappointed. lol.

I thought Catwoman's walk/run animations were awesome in Arkham's City. One of the slickest looking strings of animations.

I had trouble fighting thugs with her in the beginning. She's much weaker than Batman. However at the end part I was able to upgrade the combos and her health, and as I got into the Museum to look for two face she had a nice floor breakdance-like combo, using her whip too, that hits all enemies. It was a really good technique to use against 20+ thugs. In the end I realized that Catwoman was much better when fighting large groups of enemies simply because of that move. While Batman has more gadgets, more ways to tackle enemies, and more armor, he doesn't have a move that can hit multipe enemies like catwoman (Except for the explosive gel). I guess the Bat Swarm combo is nice too, but it's not a hard knockdown like Catwoman's.

In the past I simply ignored the flirting stuff when it came from girls. Now I would probably just tell her the truth: "I'm gay, thank you for being interested in me that way but I can't feel the same towards you."
Or at least I tell myself that to feel more courageous than I really am.

Flirting? Frankly, no, I don't think so. In fact you can mangle the tone of interaction that way. People have ways of communicating using less explicit means, that can save a person from being totally exposed. It's like you get a brief look, just enough to get an idea, you don't need someone to draw you a picture.

If a woman confesses to me or something? Yeah, I'll tell the truth. Sincerity demands sincerity in return. But flirting is frivolous, it isn't owed the same kind of response.

I think you should talk more about yourself in detail. Interesting things about you without sounding too generic. For example you could talk more about the things you enjoy doing. Do you like to Ski, swim, hike, etc? Like someone else said, have more pictures of yourself doing things you like to do.

Parn said:
Two recommendations: more detail in your profile. It's honestly a bit on the short side. Also, more pictures of yourself, especially if they involve you doing things! It's kind of like marketing.

Been playing Project Diva F 2nd and Captain Toad.(I also got Omega Ruby, but that's on the backburner until I've had my fill of the other two).

Despite the fact that I only got three games this Christmas, two of which I already owned in some form, I feel pretty satisfied.(Getting some cute blue zip-up hoodies helped.)

It's a damn tragedy that the game is never going to get the recognition it deserves. Best Mario platformer in years. While I have a couple of reservations about it, I feel that it has a lot more personality than the New Super series and 3D Land do.

I seem to have an unfortunate tendency to love games overlooked by the majority for some reason.

I am a bit of awkward guy and I never really knew how to go about that stuff (girls flirting with me and how to react). What should I say instead? What should I do? Please, do tell.

I guess I'm a bit like the homophobic people reacting to a guy flirting with them. Or at least you could interpret my post like that. :s
