  1. Not to mention, on average, women are more clean and like to keep the common areas tidy. I'm a clean guy, but it's a constant battle of cleanliness between my two other roommates who just leave things dirty and everywhere. Obviously there are exceptions, but as a whole, and with the amount of women apartments I've been too, women makes things smell good and comfy.
  2. I think I'd sell drugs long before I started to sell off my butthole to complete strangers.
  3. Now I've beaten DmC as of last night. I went straight on through, because lets be honest, you can't go through 40% of the game in one night, stop right at Mundus, and call it a night! I very much liked it. The more fair reviews have it right: LOCK-ON NEEDED! I usually resorted to either that demon grip or angel grip to find an enemy. It would have helped when fighting Mundus's Spawn with Lilith popping out onto the ground. I could say a lot of other stuff, but I would suggest that you play the game to really get a feel for the pacing and story. It is a rather straight forward narrative, with very little twists. Though, what surprises that lay in store are well structure (though perhaps obvious too).
  4. Anyone else big on having the instruction manual if you buy a used game? That's always #2 on my list, with #1 being "Is it scratched/damaged to kingdom come?!"

      Yeah I could pass up on modern instruction "manuals," but for older games where they were a decent resource. Games weren't always design to display controls and feature training as much as they do now, so having that little booklet was handy.

      I tested this with my friends copy of lair. We had to resort to not just taking a knife to it, but actually stabbing the knife into it instead of making a scratching motion.

      In my experience, they don't just feel dirty. They ARE dirty. Once there was a brownish stain on the case. Another has multiple fingerprints on the disc. No scratches though.

       

      I also want the manual to be there. Because of re-resale value.

  5. Yep, playing the waiting game... YET AGAIN. So... back to looking for some job that I can only have for 3 months.
  6. Oh, no, P-Diddy isn't the problem. It's the guy who was going to buy his contract so he could move into my place. It's a huge mess so I don't expect this to be clear, but basically I want to leave this apartment, P-Diddy wants to move into a different apartment room on a different floor, but for that to happen someone has to buy his contract before he can take my contract. EDIT: In comes "mysterious buyer" and so the office assumed everything would check out and we could start packing. I was literally going to leave tomorrow morning, but I guess they got the last of the background check in tonight and this guy was DECLINED. "Oh, well, it's so rare we thought you could move out."
  7. Wanna know how bad my luck is? Read my latest Roommates post, but it's not about anyone... but about my whole apartment and... [spoilers]!

  8. I didn't know exactly where I could put this, but considering it has to deal with where I live... Yeah, take a seat and hear a tale of frustration, crime, sadness, boobs, and cookies. You may be aware of how I was going to be moving out of my apartment this weekend and finally move back home to work a job and eventually set foot into a career later. That was the plan, and it was going smoothly until 5:30 pm today. I received a phone call from the individual who has been planning on moving into my room, thus taking over my contract. What he told me next put in such frustration that I was set to go on a rampage. Well, a little background first. The guy who wants to buy my contract already lives in the apartment. He wants to get out of his room because his roommates are Grade A Assholes. The stuff he tells me is far beyond what I've experienced. So, he wants to move down to my place where the roommates are more weird than dickheaded. This mystery buyer (because I never met him) seemed alright to... I'll call him "P-Diddy, and everything was set in motion for this weekend. Oh, except this guy turns out to be a SEX OFFENDER! Or perhaps one of those regular ol' criminals, but all I heard (that was accidentally slipped) was in was something with the law. Anyway, here I sit with all my possessions packed in boxes. Boxes that surround me and now must be prematurely emptied like a fat kid's colon that suffers from IBS and poorly crafted cafeteria burritos. Now, not to mention P-Diddy has to come downstairs and grab all his belongings and bring them back to his place. I can only imagine the response from his roommates. My folks also came down to help me move back home. Yeah, they had just arrived to town when I heard this news. Two tanks of gas wasted for them to come and go back home with no son. At least we had dinner and I got to see my freakin' awesome dog. Didn't help that my mother was tearing up and my dog could tell all was not right. It could be worse, and you have to look at the silver lining. At least I still has some place to live, albeit an expensive one. There was a topless gal in one of the hotel rooms I walked pass with their door ajar. Yeah, I guess they assumed no one could be walking in a hotel hallway... but I also got this amazing cookie from the hotel staff! I'm still stuck with the same crap Internet, so sorry Advent and Six... I can't play Anarchy Reigns with you guys without a better connection.
  9. PEGI is the same as ESRB, industry regulated. It's just it's government enforced. Because there's not much point of a regulation if there's nothing backing it. That'd probably be where you're seeing confusion from foreigners. Especially if bringing up that doing this law would waste money, when it's hardly like ESRB as it exists in it's current pointless form is free. Ah, that's what I thought at first too, but I was reading from others that it was "government regulated" as opposed to the industry. Seems they should have been saying enforced, but looking it up further (at least to Wikipedia) not every nation that has PEGI legally enforces it. Wiki Chart Anyway, I'm not too worried about this. Maybe if the government was involved, I wouldn't have had to prove Mature meant, as a 17 year-old, I could purchase Resident Evil 4 as I met the proper age. "Nope, a lot of these things are 18+" Pointed to the tiny "17+" on the cover and payed.
  10. Yep, moving out this Saturday morning, so I've done a lot of last minute packing. Sure it's with the parents, but at least they're sane and clean. Well, sane enough as they at least sleep in beds.

      Very true, but I also had (now have) a job lined up for February. It was in my hometown, but as I was stuck elsewhere, I began looking for something else. Not the case now!

      Ah okay, so you do have a good reason. Best wishes to you. Go out there and get an awesome job! Or a job that will put you on that path.

      yeah before I graduated I definitely plan to have a job lined up before I head out.

  11. Pretty solid Pokemon parody.
  12. I'm taking my time with it (at The Order mission after Bob-Raptor Fart), but yes, haters are indeed hating on DmC. It's hilarious to see the diehard fans flip their opinion on DMC2. Sure, I've never played the series before, but any time it was brought up, the second game was that taboo black sheep in the series that needn't be discussed.
  13. Eh, I do have the first Transformers on DVD because it is tolerable and has its moments. You'd have to threaten to castrate me to put the other movies in my movie collection.
  14. Last I read it, the bill was calling for a government rating system, i.e. PEGI. We already have the ESRB, but that's industry regulated (same with CERO in Japan) and for the last few years politicians have been uncomfortable with a "voluntary" system. To be honest, I've seen a lot of foreign gamers respond to this with shock that we don't have a rating system like them, and genuinely confused by the issue. James from Extra Credits said their upcoming "Brazil" episode would cover the pros and cons of industry and government ratings. It's getting a lot of people up on the "freedom" train, but this will end like the rest, "We already have a functional system; lets not spend more money." Sure it's not 100%, but I hope they wouldn't really consider a complete overhaul just so that 0.0001% of retailers gets a fine. Besides, it just takes someone at the proper age to purchase the game, not who will eventually play it.
  15. I might actually be moving out! Better Internet, better jobs, and free food here I come!

  16. If koalas joeies do it to gain the microbes to digest toxic eucalypt leaves, eh, why not?
  17. Essentially it is puffery, a.k.a. subjective view rather than fact. And that was your random fact from Mr. Literal!
  18. Did a quick Google search of what some Wii U titles say on the back, on while there's a lot of significant information, you'd think they could spare some room to say something like "GamePad Remote Play Compatible" or what tickles their fancy. They use to do that with an icon for Progressive Screen on GameCube titles.
  19. After watching Season 3 of Archer, I could really go for some chicken n' waffles.

      It's this very night that the 4th season starts!

  20. Pretty much the only reason my father ever got a .44 Magnum was because of bears and cougars. We use to live in Alaska, so it was strictly for bears. Once you get into the slightly warmer parts of North America, then you have cougars. Essentially, if you're in the West, you could find a cougar if you went out into the wilderness. Knew a guy who use to work for a national park (forget which one), and always carried a gun. Never had to use it until a cougar was literally perched two feet above his head on a hillside about to pounce. I'm told that if you happen to see a cougar close to you, you can safely assume it has been stalking you. There's barely any reason why a cougar would be casually appearing near you. The only animals I've ever had to worry about in my life are coyotes, mainly for my grandmother's dogs. Didn't really have to once she got a Rottweiler that could go on a rampage when threatened.
  21. I at least have Wi-Fi, but the "free" package requires that you register your devices meaning the security code is different for every device you use. But yeah, it's advertised at 10Mbs, but you're lucky if you can maintain 1Mbs. As far as gaming, I'm worried that once I get out of my contract in around four months, and I head back home (unless I find a career around that time), that the online multiplayer for Anarchy Reigns will be nearly dead. If anything it will definitely be less active.
  22. I believe other games have done this, but when I opened DmC Devil May Cry, there was no instructional manual. Just a pamphlet of the legal mumbo you usually see at the back.

      Yeah, that's the norm now. I'm surprised when I get a game that actually has more than a couple slips of paper.

      No manuals. But ASSLOADS of adverts.

      Remember when game manuals use to have cool art work and everything was printed in colour? Those were the days. :-\

  23. Maybe you're aware of this already, but the guides on here are pretty handy. http://portforward.com/ I've tried a lot of guides, but the main issue is that I don't have a router and the ISP is a service running through the apartment complex. I talked with management today and they said others have asked with the same concerns and supposedly the Internet service is "too advanced" for 360s and PS3s to handle, so that's why they're NAT Type 3. I think that's a big pile of BS and that the service doesn't want people to be blowing up the service with multitudes playing online games.
  24. And your thought was "Hmm, that's OK, I guess"?! I guess I was expecting more, though I will admit the burning Nicolas Cage was quality stuff. It's just, any time it went back to Kick-Ass (the character), it was underwhelming to me. It wasn't until the end that the movie picked up and ended with some drug lord flying outside his office on a missle and thus blowing up. Like, if you're going to be campy, stick with it. Don't go back to reality every 10 minutes telling me, "Man, being a superhero sucks."
  25. I liked it, and I knew it wasn't going to be an episode about Finn losing his sanity like all the previews made it out to be. It was a good alter ego story where Finn wanted to be simple.
