  1. This is why I am such a huge fan of Freeman's Mind. Ross gives Gordon so much needed personality and quirks and I think everyone agrees on that. It's honestly more funny watching Freeman's Mind than playing the game.

     

    That's my thought at least. I love being able to play a game myself. When you play with a character shell, like Gordon, he adapts your personality traits wherever he's missing them, and plus you still get some concept of his character from the way the game plays out:

     

    1. He's a good guy, obviously. He knows what's right and refuses to accept Breen's bribes throughout HL2.

    2. He's got one hell of a work ethic, unlike the way Ross makes it appear in the game. Gordon does a lot of the dirty work for everyone, simply because he's able, and he never refuses.

    3. He's highly intelligent, given his MIT background and job at Black Mesa.

    4. He's a kind friend, as he takes good care of Alyxx and Eli (a very cool guy if you ask me) treats him like they're best friends.

    5. He's an amiable character. Everyone likes him and gets along well with him.

  2. That's because he's a god by human standards. But by comparison, Earthlings are pretty much the weakest people by default. Sure, they can train and become strong, but compared to Super Saiyans and Namekians and all that shit, they're pretty screwed.

     

    Impressive we've lasted any length of time, huh?

     

    What I don't get is how bullets just kinda bounce of of them (the super-human alien guys). It's a piece of streamlined lead moving at you faster than sound. I don't care how ripped you are. Metal will pierce muscles.

     

    Also, Krillin vs. Mr. Satan (Hercule) in a fight?

    Also, why does shonen intentionally use names offensive to Judeo-Christian culture to upset Western viewers? I never got that. I mean, Hercule doesn't seem like a bad guy, he's just full of himself, yet his name's Mr. Satan. Whatever.

  3. Return of the Jedi. Prequels ain't got nothin' on the original trilogy. And I hate you for picking Revenge of the Sith. That was the worst prequel, just with the best special effects.

     

    Cornbread Pancakes or Latkes?

  4. Any thoughts and opinions on THQ's going under as a company, post here.

     

    Honestly, I absolutely loved these guys. This company made 60% of my games as a child, as I was a heavy PS2 gamer and had a LOT of Nickelodeon licensed games, to which THQ had the rights.

     

    I blame EA, quite frankly. They're a bunch of pricks who need to have fire ants stuffed into their colons with the only possibility of removal being their consignment for bankruptcy.

     

    However, THQ gets ultimate Sir Points for going out with so much style as to donate all proceeds from their THQ bundle to charity. That was a beautiful act and it warms my heart to know that most gaming companies aren't EA.

     

    If you know more details about this whole ordeal that you'd like to tell me because I'm an idiot and I don't know what I'm talking about, or you just wanna contribute, feel welcome.

  5. I don't like killing Hunters. One because they're hard as hell.

     

    This is why I love Hunters. There are very few enemies in that game that seriously challenge you as stand-alone enemies. Plus, their model design is so beautifully smooth and elegant.

     

    Headcrabs? Pfft! a well-timed crowbar fixes that problem.

     

    Zombies? Nah, a double barrell shotgun blast to the head solves that problem (except Poison Headcrab Zombies, which is why I like those guys)

     

    Combine? They're pack hunters. Easy to kill alone, but just straight up annoying in their numbers. You can't focus all your attention on one guy: You have to keep flipping all over the place (The Plaza Defense in HL2 is my least favorite part of that game)

     

    Striders? OH FUCK YEA! Those sons o' bitches are so fuckin hard. I replay the triple strider battle in HL2 all the time, as well as the rocket defense in Episode 2, because Hunters AND Striders.

    My favorite character is probably Barney, just because he's the only relatable guy in the whole damn game, and he makes for a hell of a comic relief.

     

    My least favorite character is either Magnusson or Mossman, but most likely Mossman, because she's a gutless flip-flopper. At least Magnusson knew whose side he was on.

     

    My favorite enemy, as you might guess, is a tie between Hunters and Striders.

     

    My least favorite enemy is the Grunts from HL1 (and especially Blue Shift). The bee gun was so ridiculous to fight against. It just irritated the hell out of me.

  6. I'm noticing a trend here. A lot of us rate above average for Schizotypal, which I can hardly see as a bad thing. We're independent minded and see the world as weird. We conceptualize things and attempt deep thought on the origins of creation and other metaphysical details. A high Schizotypal score is honestly good if you ask me.

  7. Just figured out my life plans for like, the next six years. Anybody want to hear about em? No? Too bad.

     

    So, I'm going to be signing up for the Delaware Air National Guard as soon as I turn 17, and will defer going to college until 2014. Over the summer, I will do my 8 weeks of basic training, then the remainder of time before the Fall 2014 semester at UD will probably be spent at AIT where I'll be trained as a Bioenvironmental engineer.

     

    Next, provided he lets me, I'll be moving in with my Uncle Steve and Aunt Christine, who live farther away, but in case you guys haven't noticed, my father and I don't get along and I think it would be in the best interests of both of us that I get out of the house as soon as possible.

     

    As a result of this move, I, who am completely unwilling to pay for car insurance, will be riding my bike 10 miles to campus to attend classes, which shouldn't be hard since I'll be in top physical shape.

     

    All around, I'm happy with this plan and believe I'll be well off on my own and away from the asshole who I don't think I can live with for another 6 years.

     

    Hoping for the best :D
