    Yep. Practice makes perfect. I really don't care that much about achievements, but it adds tons of replay value to games I would otherwise stop playing. Especially for a game this short, the only real incentive to keep playing is just to get better/beat your high score, so at least it feels like I'm working towards something.

    Achievements originally got me playing games I wouldn't have originally played at all, sure it got me playing utter shit as well. But I doubt I'd have fallen in love with the hack and slash genre or sandbox genre if it weren't for achievements making me want to play every game ever made.

    Well at least there's that. I haven't bought any games that I didn't think I'd enjoy, I just bought way too many at once. So now I have a shit ton of games to go through. But at least all the other games I want will drop in price by the time I get around to purchasing more.

    I'm guilty of buying way more than I can play at a time. I can't help it though.

    Yeah, I've convinced myself to not buy anymore games until I beat all the ones I already have. It's tempting not to buy more though...

    I'm really tempted to get a steering wheel for my PS3 to improve my GT5 experience.

    I'd just like to point out that Mistral already said he was a guy. In the guys with girly avatars thread.

    Too lazy to backread the other 17 pages.

    If anything Mistral just made it more of a mystery. Their response was very ambiguous. Especially because they said their avatar was male when it was a picture of a girl, and then commented on how it would have been easier to be a male online. I think Ray might be right, honestly, but who knows?

    Honestly, who cares what Mistral is? If you ask me it isn't human anyway. So what genitalia it has really doesn't bother me.

    I don't really care what gender someone is online, it doesn't really make a difference. It's just always been one of those things everyone has always talked about since I've joined. In all honesty though, I think Russ said it best:

    Really? That stuff's pretty weak.
