Told me to uninstall all the games I don't play because she thinks that they're the only cause of her user booting up kinda slow.
Uninstalls the games I will never play, deletes shortcuts for the rest.
:yawn:
Oh yeah, games that aren't running totally slow things down :rolleyes:.Quote:

Anyone want a referral to a survey site?
So close to getting a gift card, just need a 1000 more points, which is how much a referral will get me.
Then I can get a new MP3 player to replace my broken one.
For shame, sir!Quote:

Good point. We can always avoid bringing it up. :wacko:
What a coincidence, I have a female voice too! :wacko:
Although on the topic of interesting messages, I like how I've gotten several messages in Dark Souls in Jap/Korean/Chinese. Ah international Peer to Peer netplay. You create such hilarious situations.
Although the chinese bit boggles the mind. You'd think they'd be trying to run a cash shop somewhere in there. Guess all those chinese folks aren't all gold farmers after all. Still. WHERE'S MY GODDAMN MIMIC HAT?
Throw Tanthias in the mix and we have quite an interesting ensemble of voices. :wacko:Quote:

We shall all pose as a group of sorority sisters who all find Drake strikingly handsome. We shall giggle and talk about what we'd do to him. The best part is, you'd never know how much me and tan are actually pretending. Well. possibly in my case. I regret nothing.Quote:

I don't actually like Drake that much. There's something reversed here, I think. :wacko:Quote:

Anyway, I've been meaning to play this game since I got off of work about 4.5 hours ago.
I should stop chatting about it and actually turn on the console, probably.
Are you currently working on anything?Quote:

I had plans for Halloween (super obscure Korean horror game), but I was...erm...busy. I had a backup plan of possibly covering the other bit of Alone in the Dark, but I'm still hesitant to go back to it after the fucking migraine it caused me the first time. Well. that. and trying to avoid getting depressed over the fact I've been around for a quarter of a century. To note, if I took after my sister my oldest child would be the same age I was when I became an uncle. Feel. So. OLD.Quote:

I did make an effort to finally update Zero 3 last weekend, but I kinda spaced.
Right now a combination of my personal life, my professional life, my preparation for the future, my romantic involvements, and clearing my gaming backlog/the highly anticipated releases of the last little bit has been keeping me from doing LP work as my gaming has been mostly for personal enjoyment.
I was thinking about perhaps doing a short demo of a bit of UC3's single player (possibly the opening areas or something similar) or covering some multiplayer hijinks but I've kinda talked myself out of that.
I need to clear an evening off to record/edit a Z3 video and get cracking on another run through Catherine for LP completion purposes.
Good luck :wav:Quote:

Why yes, it does. But alas, no Flynn. Perhaps if they removed Elena there'd be room for him. Possibly as a zombie of some kind. I take back anything positive I said about her previously. She's just as annoying in 3 as she was in 1. Perhaps moreso due to taking several levels in bitchiness.Quote:

'cause that pissed me off a lot through the game.
Not especially. However when I replayed a couple chapters for the technical combat trophies (EG: Leapfrog. 4 explosive kills) the amount of "plot sequences" seemed really intrusive compared to how it was in 2. I felt there were many more of those unskippable Half Life style cutscenes littered about and it took a lot longer for combat sections to pop up where I could actually make progress on the trophies. It felt like for every 10 minutes of standing around talking waiting for someone to open a door or for the next platforming bit to kick in, I'd get maybe 5 enemies or so. When you need to pull off 75 kills, that gets really annoying.Quote:

Not really. I'm up late when I don't work and tend to be on pretty late in the evening. It's not like you all aren't on then.Quote:

It worked fine in Baldur's gate. Aside from my occasional absence, Ryan going missing after a session or two, and that week Tan was all like MY INNERNETS NO WARK RITE :C :C :CQuote:

The only reason I never got around to doing the three PS1 MMX games is because I couldn't figure out how to get it to record both my voice and the game audio without recording the game audio through the mic as it was played through the speakers. Because fuck trying to sync up the sound after the fact, and also fuck my inability to speak for more than 30 seconds without going "Uh... um... *breath heavily through nose*" At least if I record them together, I can say "Osry, wuz consentradin' on da gaym."Quote:

I wear some headphones with the mic operating on a different circuit. Cancels out any game audio showing up even when the headset is right next to them.Quote:

Possibly explains why those speed levels typically devolve into "oh shit shit shit, gotta get through. motherfucker, oh shit shit shit shit fuck fucking shit"
It's a sad, sad day when I'm the party's mouthpiece. Despite being an evil angry midget thief with some nonhuman blood. :wacko:
I have had some weird issues. Like randomly coming out of cover. Rolling into cover not working (in U2 you'd "slide", in U3 it seems like you just roll towards the wall. then stand up to get a face full of lead). And some instances of enemies arcing bullets around/over cover killing you when there's no conceivable way they could unless the bullets were changing trajectory. Which is sorta fine since Drake has had that ability since U1. I figure it's about time everyone pulled that Wanted shit.Quote:

An identical jump post death had entirely different (and correct) results.
Also, screen tearing. So, so much. At one point there was a massive polygon of unloaded texture embedded in Drake during the chateau level.
Also. Cola just reminded me I need to do at least part of MMX6 for Z3 to make sufficient sense.
Especially if I opt to point out the alternate interpretations and possible original concept for that plot point.
Fuck.
WoW IS CONSUMING MY LIFE! :ahhh:
