That sounds terrifying Rev, one of those life or death moments. Did your life flash before your eyes or anything like that? Glad you are still with us and know what you need to do.

Im gonna say this. My thoughts were of my mom and sisters. Straight up the last thing I was thinking before I came to a complete stop between "Well, im fucked" was " who gonna look out for my younger sister." That was it. And I thought about mistakes. Regrets. There was a lot of fucking spins.

Reminds me of some shit that happened while I was in high school. I was hanging out with my best friend one weekend, and apparently that weekend he'd had some cousins from Jamaica staying at his house. So we're all getting ready to go to go out to get some food, when one of his cousins insists on staying at the crib by himself. Cool, whatever.

We all get in the truck, drive off, a few blocks later dad realizes he forgot something at the house. We turn around. Get back to the house. Dad goes in by himself. Suddenly, all you hear from the house is just shouting. Apparently, nephew got himself real comfortable, had porn on the TV in the living room, towel, lotion, like he was ready to have himself a good ol' time.

But when I tell you that my friend's dad whooped. his. ass...Like, in front of everybody. I never seen an ass-whooping like that, and all over some masturbating. That stayed with me for a while. lol

Started Transistor and it's the same thing with the sound. Who did these musicians sacrifice to get this quality?

Steam sales have been treating me good this winter.

Interjection to whatever subject you talking about.

I got your attention I hope.

I am going to keep it brief and to the point. I am a believer in omens. Anything and everything happen for a reason. Ive lived my life this way for years and it has helped me to survive a lot of ill shit. First and foremost, early this morning about 2pm I get a call from one of my subordinates stating that he fucked up a schedule, and due to these actions needs to find a replacement in an hour. I told him at 0200 that's a goddamn impossibility. I resigned to my better logic and told him I would cover the site, he goes to the other site and bam, mission accomplished. I get up to get in the other patrol car to drive out, and the cars completely dead. This does not happen in this office. After 20 minutes of fiddling with with it, I said fuck it, grab the company card, fill my personal vehicle and decide to ride out to the site. It was raining like the damn first day of the biblical flood. I get on I20 and start riding. I pass 2 vehicles with flashers on, driving a snails pace. I start to slow it down. I get it to 55 and im driving along, when fate intervened. I fucking spun 8 times down I-20 over a quarter of a mile. By the 4th rotation I was resigned to my fate. If im gonna die im gonna fucking die. I hit the accelerator, turned into the spin and miraculously ended up in the only area that wasnt median, drop off or wooded. I slide into the grassy muddy area. And come to a complete stop. All the while this was going on I am listening to goddamn Frank Ocean singing about a tornado flew around his room. Bruh, I stop, the people I passed pull over and ask am I okay, in my delirium, I utter "Im Alive". I start just laughing. Hard. Call the cops, they call a wrecker and pull my car out. Besides dirt and debris, Me and my car WERE COMPLETELY UNSCATHED.


Needless to say. This was a fucking sign. I almost died for a job. Family, I work 7 days a week, at 12 hours a day. Some shit went down and thats why I am in the predicament im in. I have been racking my brain about a few things, hence why I have essentially stopped doing GAF or anything else. Bruh Im fucking done. This year has been both liberating and a goddamn daily struggle. So I am taking the cue from my almost demise and doubling down on something that has been in the planning stages that I have been 50/50 about. I have nothing holding me in GA. No wifey, no nothing. Its time for me to start over fresh and hit the dusty trail back to Louisiana. Good and bad im done.



Family, the thing that gets to me out of all this is this. For the last 12 hours ive been playing through every scenario. Every goddamn one. What could i have done differently? What could I have not done? Just everything. And each one ends with me being critically injured and or deceased. No shaking this one. I should not have walked away from this. Just all the circumstances led to me walking away. Weather, road, tire conditions..... etc. I cannot shake this feeling, that I should be dead. I went back to the site this afternoon. Im in awe. Like it never happen.


So to recap, im going home. Georgia had some memories, but its time to grind where I started.

Exactly. Because it exists isn't a defense. Creepy shit is creepy.

I don't think you understand me, I'm not defending anyone. Just because its official means nothing.

See me , slay , parallax and most of the damn comic thread about mark millar.

All I said was, it was weird most of the weirdness, like this nugget, seem to stem from official products rather than the people themselves more food for thought than anything.

One guy mentioning capcoms breath of weirdness focused on male characters as well.

Glad you're alright Rev.

The anime/cartoon aesthetic of Valkyria Chronicles sure does a good job of helping to let your guard down. Chapter 11 (and the concentration camp one) got me having the :wtf: face, and reminded me that this was about war.

On some "fuck" shit, just found out an old clanmate did himself in on Christmas. He was a good dude..Canadian, which makes him twice as nice (opinion).

It did bring up an interesting question. So many are responding, saying they read his Facebook posts about depression. Breaking up with his girlfriend. All this shit I haven't seen..not a Facebook person. Why did no one talk to this cat? Why is it all "Welp, better place" now, and not before.

If there's a thing that I can say that bothers me about a large chunk of gamers (opinion), it's that the bond begins and ends at the monitor. Damn, man..he really was a good dude..

Watched Top five with my cousin and was really surprise how good it was. And Gabrielle Union looked so damn fine, she looks better than most 40+ year old actors in hollywood.

Yo, DreamyDropDistance, I was lookin' to see if anyone on GAF still played Toukiden and I found your thread.
Just wanted to give you a nod (and ask if you mess w/ it at all).

I've been playing it a lot recently and while the online community is 'mostly' inactive, I have been able to play with a handful of dudes lately and have been having a ton of fun with it.

Revanche, I'm glad to hear that you're okay. Those moments change you forever - I had mine back when I was still bouncing. Shit goes either way, I'm not married with three kids today but rotting in boneyard instead. Take it for what you will, but take heed. For real.

In other news, I've got an extra Halo 5 beta code if anyone's** interested

FUCK YOU JC, THE AIN'T SHITTIEST OF THE AIN'T SHIT

I'm looking for a one month Live code in exchange, let me know.

So I'm looking at the Girlfriend Cheat thread and I see it's turned into general advice for people. And one of the people talking about his rough time is someone I've blocked. Now I know I should feel sympathy
and deffo not vindicated pleasure
, but drunk me is only thinking about how much of a bitch karma is. I mean, I only ever ignore people I've decided are irredeemable assholes not worth engaging with, so it's just like, welp.

I hope I didn't waste my precious DDP money on Child of Light.

Okay, speaking of dating advice...

Girl I have small crush on is crazy busy. Odds are I won't see her again. Maybe once over the coming semester. Do I ask her out over FB, or not at all?

I think this image alone sums up everything I loved about GAF this year:

Just...so poignant in its simplicity. I would honestly hang that on my wall.
