Psychotic Ninja

Watching the trailer to Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortuanate Events Netflix series, and man, seeing NPH dressed up as a female is the greatest thing ever:

pause at 1:50 to see what I mean

I feel kinda ostracized for some reason. I dunno why. People don't seem to talk much these days.

Also,this shitty internet is not helping my mood.

Yeah, I have plenty of friends, but they never really truly talk to me, hang out with me, or anything like that.

I think minimalism was created out of laziness.

Don't make me post a twenty paragraph riposte to this Ninja.

 

;p (sorry)

I see you're too lazy to make your twenty paragraph riposte

GTA 5 Online

Did a Heist setup mission, my team had to silently assassinate a guy, and his body guards. First attempt, my partner somehow alerted the guy, so he was on the run. I got in my car and "accidentally" ran him over. Our part was over, and we were waiting on the other team. (On a side note, I really like how the heists are broken up into two teams, and one team is doing one thing while the other is doing something else at the same time and at different locations.) Someone died on the other team, so we had to do the mission again. (The whole Team Lives thing really does suck, and adds an arbitrary difficulty to Online)

Second attempt went a lot more smoothly. This time, me and my partner were taking down the guards. It got to the point where most of the guards were dead, and there was a clear path to our main target. I went up to him, pulled out my gun and shot him, in the head, point blank range. it looked, and felt, really bad ass. I'm sure my character would have said a cool, witty one liner like "You need better protection". But you know, cooler, and wittier.

Online needs more stealth missions/heists, I would really excel at those.

Assassin's Creed 2

I'm starting to think AC is my COD. Each game is basically the same, Me and Ubisoft don't care about the story (even though I still focus on singleplayer), each multiplayer is the same just a $60 map pack, multiplayer is more fun than singleplayer, and there's a yearly release (more or less, and I'm counting the movie as 2016's yearly release).

When playing a RPG like Skyrim, disable fast travel, walk everywhere, make sure to eat, drink, etc, stay at hotels/camps at night, stay warm (bonus points if you have mods like Frostfall installed), and only attack in self defense. If a character is like "I give! You win!" sheath your weapon.

Status ailments or effects that don't really announce themselves too dramatically. As much as I absolutely want to bum Skyrim for the rest of my natural life, I sometimes fail to notice that I've contracted diseases during very intense fights or encounters that haven't gone quite to plan. I arrived in Ivarstead after finishing a quest involving Treva's Watch only to find those Miraak cultists and some random Redguard who wanted to challenge me. Whilst I was busy trying not to die in a spell/melee fight as the weedly little stealth-build character that I am, out of seemingly nowhere I was attacked by a pair of vampires and a bunch of their death hounds. Nearly two hours later whilst fannying about in some dungeon, my vision went red and the game informed me that the sun had risen and I was feeling weakened. I didn't even know I'd contracted vampirism.

Reminds me of this lil tidbit from Tumblr:

OT: Status Effects that do nothing/pretty much pointless. An example of a status effect done right: Final Fantasy 10. Poision. Every time you take an action, some damage is dealt to you (vice versa if the enemy is poisoned) and the damage dealt increases each time.

Final Fantasy 15 (currently playing as I'm typing this)

Just got my first glimpse of the Behemoth, and I should have worn my brown pants...

Final Fantasy 15

Got to chapter 3, can manually drive now (yay). The world is more open now (yay). I'm seeing more and more connections to various Final Fantasy's.

Also, that moment when you find something perfect for a thread, but you were the last one to post. Two minutes ago.

If you're going to bring hangers to your local drycleaners, please don't use plastic ties. In fact, no matter what you're doing, never use plastic ties.

Nah.

Would you take an object, that you always wanted, that contains a terrible curse, but you get a free frogurt, that is also cursed. But you get your choice of topping, which contains potassium benzoate?

Depends on the situation. Earbuds for listening to music on the go, headphones (well headset) while gaming.

Someone who constantly forgets to add a "this or that" or someone who constantly does a lame one like "this or that"?

I wish Morgan Freeman narrated my life...

Please don't ruin people's experience/fun by hacking in a multiplayer game. If you're going to cheat/hack, do it in a single player game. Also, if people aren't happy about it, please don't encourage the hacker to continue, especially out of spite.

Final Fantasy 15

My biggest complaint is the auto drive system. It takes away from the experience, and the immersion. It's a shame that you're locked into it until Chapter 3 (or so I've been told).

On a similar note: Do not go in expecting a GTA here. There's no crashing the car, no offroading (unless you're on foot or riding a Chocobo), the car you get at the start, is the car you end up with at the end.

Final Fantasy 15

Just started my adventures, this is going to be a tough game to put down. Very late in the year, but I would have to say this wins my Game Of The Year award, that I'm starting. Now. Like Right Now.

What's the price elsewhere?
