I don't know if that's a thing in Europe. When I torrent I average about 1mb/s- 1.5mb/s whether or not my dad is also torrenting. It makes no difference.

Hah! Ethan will be cracking down on some people..

Am I really the only one who knows? Besides Smooves? The one that started it all?

The fact that you think this is a friendly environment amuses me. But I'll play: 1. I generally hear slang from people I want to punch in the face. 2. I heard a friend of mine actually spell out ooh-em-gee once. I punched him. Right in the face. Thread succes!

Oh shit, right. The most fun with bossfights I've had is in Lost Planet 2. Mostly because of the fact that they're massive and you can get on/in/beneath them. My all time favourite, as of yet, is in the sand village, where there are two relatively large bossmonsters running around. Their attacks are fun, they destroy half of the village, in real-time (non-scripted, which is awesome!), and they work actually together. Non-pattern movement suggests complicated A.I at work, which I can appreciate because experience teaches me that A.I is fucking hard to do right.

Golden Sun 1&2: fucking dragon.. Rogue Galaxy: having 7 boss fights with incremental raises in difficulty without checkpoints and with a final boss with a MASSIVE health bar is never a good idea. I retried it 3 times (every attempt taking at least 25 minutes) and then ragequit. This resulted in me not finishing one of my favourite games. (it's in my 3x3) MGS: Psycho Mantis was freaking awesome. Using the player 2 port to escape having your mind read was brilliant. Just brilliant. Any Turtles game: Shredder was a badass in any/every concievable turtles game. Hell, I couldn't get past this fucker in the BOARD game. Tough as nails. X-men legends: Ironically, I remember these bossfight exactly because they weren't memorable at all. This game had the most anti climactic bossfights ever. It was ridiculous. Mortal Kombat: Shang Tsung, this evil bastard was 10x as hard has goro.. and goro wasn't exactly a pushover. Frogger: It took my ages to beat the final level.. damn fickle logs. Dynamite Cops: There was a Kraken in a cruise ship. Not in water or anything, just a Kraken lounging around, waiting for a player character to squirt on. Immortal Kraken proved memorable enough, I guess. This game had the BEST quick-time-events by the way. I haven't since seen a game that implemented QTE's so well. It was on Neo Geo no less!

Battle Toads, Turtles on Nes, and Demon's Souls have all been mentioned I see. Well how about these: Snes: Contra Total Carnage/Smash TV Neo Geo: Metal Slug Sen Goku 3 Puzzle Bobble Knights of the round Nes: Star Wars R-type Playstation: Jedi Power Battles Gauntlet

I have a cat, Kitty. You'll rarely see me being affectionate, unless it involves a cat or some animal that presents a physical threat. I like dangerous animals, and much like Staysick, I'll be looking to get a snake, maybe a komodo, but at the very least something reptilian, when I get my own house. They fascinate me. Much the same I'm also open to insects, albeit to a lesser degree and turtles. I've cared for foxes, racoons, pigs, cows, goats, chickens and all sorts of animals when I volunteered at a local petting zoo when I was a wee lad. Further spurring my love for animals and consequently, my disdain for humans. Ever since I was a kid I knew I'd have an Ace Venture home when I was all grown up, not much has changed with that wish. My cat sleeps on my bed, sits at the table when we're eating, seriuously she has her own chair, with just her head peaking over the table. She doesn't beg for food, she mostly just sits there.. I guess she likes being a part of the experience. I get her expensive food, often whip her up a little something in the kitchen, such as the recent tunasalmonfishstick salad. In return, I find small disassembled woodland critters in the yard every other week and she brings in the mail for some strange reason. Seriously, she shoves the envelopes from the hallway to the livingroom to the cabinet where we keep the mail. Weirdest thing.

Ah, you're referring to MMO's, no? My example pertains to action RPGs mostly. Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance Conan (PS3) Untold Legends Rogue Galaxy Oblivion As such, missrate is not a problem for me.

Oh, totally missed that, yeah if there's a character with the ability to double-wield, than it's not even a choice anymore. I especially like it if the weapons don't have to be the same, for instance a sword + axe or an axe + dagger, or an axe + nunchuks. I defintely like axes. Then again, I'll take a big slab of concrete on the end of a stick as well. Blunt weapons rock.

That's something I could've said. Word for word. Except for the fact that my friend doesn't even bother trying anymore. Like you, I don't handle crowds well. Couple that with the fact that I consider anything over 3 of 4 people a crowd so yeah, there go public places during fesitivities. I think it's both a personality thing as well as a sensory input thing. If I'm in a restaurant, for instance, I find I have a hard time trying to differentiate between sounds, trouble concentrating and I tend to get uneasy, even violent if the situation persists and I have no means of escaping from said situation. Kind of like in Bruce Almighty, when the prayers gang up on him. Messes me up.

I have a recurring dream in which I (as a child) ride a big shaggy dog at high speeds through a dusky village lit by torches. I have a feeling I'm running from something, although nothing is chasing me. Everything I see looks like it's been put through a red-dusk-gloom filter and the flames on the torches are motionless. In the middle of the village is a colliseum, which spontaneously forms around me as I "enter" it. Archers then appear and shoot the dog, which turns into my ex girlfriend from middle school, who evaporates and tells me to grab the rope. What rope? The rope dangling next to me, which I then grab and use to sort of swim through the air. But it's a kind of half-falling, half floating swimming and the archers are gone and I see the dog running out of the colliseum while the rope takes my higher into the sky. Everytime I have this dream, I remember more of it the following morning. For instance, the latest addition is the archers and the rope, I never remembered/dreamed this before, but I do now. I only have this dream, or any other dream, when I do my 3 alarms thing though. I basically set my alarm 3 times, the first at 9:30, the second at 10:30 and the third at 12:00. I find that by interupting REM and regaining semi-consiousness, I have enough clarity to convert images to long term memory, I don't have that in a normal uninterupted (polyphasic) sleep cycle.

Introducing yourself in a thread like this? That's pretty ballsy..

GTAIV?

The parents will be out of town, I'm staying home reassuring my cat we'll face the apocalypse together. She's normally not easily impressed, and random bangs don't do much, but once 12 o clock hits and the audible orchestra of bangs commences, she makes a run for the bed. I think much like last year, I'll be grabbing some comics, some icecream cake, some tuna for her, and we'll both hang out under the bed again. I find that if I join her, she'll come out from under there when I do, instead of staying there for 3 days, nails firmly planted in the wooden floor. So yeah, a solo act for me, like always.

We put wheels on them and ride 'em like rollerskates.

You should watch teenie weenie string bikini, if you haven't already. It's craptacular!

Is your other best friend a flagpole?

Brute/Warrior/Barbarian, I usually pick the guy with the sword the size of a small car, I believe this to be a remnant of the days of sidescrolling beat 'em ups. Lately I've been more intriqued by stealth-play though. It started when I went for another Obli playthrough and decided to watch Picard die as a thief. I enjoyed robbing people and stealth kills. After this realization I asked for the Sly Collection for christmas, another such brilliant idea. Realizing I apparantly have a thing for stealth that I somehow never knew of, I also decided to try Thief. I'll install/play it after I finish the Sly Collection and Two Worlds II (in which I'll play as thief/rogue, I think) (unless the class is female only, I can't play as a female protagonist, it bothers me)

Actually such a fear is not entirely unfounded. It's actually a false statistic that eliminates human error as probable cause and even entirely as a variable. Nobody also ever mentions the chances of survival v say, car crashes. Lastly, there are tons of transportation methods that are statistically safer, such as bicycles, trains, scooters, or those things fat and old people ride.. I think they're called rascals or something. In short, "airplanes are the safest way to travel" is a false/manipulated statistic mixed with pr. Having said that, I only dislike flying for the terminal waiting and the ear-popping. I like the shopping though.

including the HUD is really an error on Smooves' part though.. Then again, a pair of random horizontally dangling legs might be too little to go on.

Football games can have decent music, Q.E.D: Fifa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an6A-Wu6-B4 Fifa Pro Evo

Fair enough.

It did suck, but you got to shoot hostages/prisoners or question them (or question and then shoot them) and fire a shotgun while looking the other way. That was pretty much all I needed as a 6yo. Twas my first Blizzard game as well.
