  1. Ah I got this!

     

    Listen friend... You said yourself you hit it off perfectly. In order to get to that point, both must be feeling each other in some way. So #1, the (mental) chemistry is there.

     

    You said you exchanged #'s and text or whatever, whenever you can. Elaborate. Does she initiate the messages more often... or you? If its her, boom no brainer.

     

    There are many types of people, and when there is chemistry in any form you should notice. If you both are able to dialog about pretty much anything... I.E. school, work, family, friends, ideals and so on... Not asking her out is a crime.

     

    Ill bet she is wondering why you havent asked already... dont keep her waiting too long

  2. http://lparchive.org/Super-Metroid-Redesign/

    I watched the first two videos and it looks like a suck fest.

    Oh my GAWD! I should power up, fly my ass so fast to England the ocean splits ala Moses... & punch you with all the kinetic force I built up and vaporize your indignant ass. Super Metroid Redesign is like mana from heaven you fool! How awesome is Super Metroid? Only one of the BEST GAMES OF ALL TIME!!! How awesome would it be to play again... and not know where anything is?! Im not talking about changing the location of items... more than that, they changed the MAP, they changed every room, not just the item placement, the topographical design, size, shape, scope of each and every room. They even made enemies more or less resistant to various weapons so you actually have to switch weapons to stay ahead of the game... no getting the next weapon and only using it until the next upgrade. This method is tactical and enhances the difficulty. The gravity has changed, literally. At first it feels wrong but the new mechanics test your platforming skills, its yet another factor that makes the game awesome.

     

    This game is the closest you will get to a masters version. You gotta have actual skill to get shit done. Its the same awesomeness... but its new again and an actual challenge.

     

    The game is beyond your comprehension. Anyone who loves Super Metroid will be hard pressed to say this version isnt any good. Play it for Fuck sake... it takes no time to grab a SM rom, unzip, and place the tiny file in it. The game is new again, what else can ANYONE ask for...

  3. Hmm. I play with glasses on and its the same with them off. Well my eyes were tired after hours of solid play at first, even with cig breaks. I no longer get tired, at least no where near how it was for me.

     

    As for the image I spoke of, yes you can see the fragment especially over dark backdrops, but you dont really notice it much until your eyes get a bit fatigued.

     

    And as for the sensation, I still feel the difference, feels like I have ridiculous visual focus... like I can shoot beams out of my eyes or something. If only I could...

  4. Well typical me I didnt follow through and see if I can find ANY topics that get into the details that im looking for.

     

    But I have continued playing. No issues, didnt take long to acclimate. I have noticed something tho, after a bit of time and the eyes get tired, ill notice a triple image like the eyes are catching bit of the image its not supposed to. The closer the object is, the closer the mirrored effect is to the original.

     

    Im about to fire it up so I will pay attn and see if I notice it right off, or if it only happens when the eyes get tired.

  5. Well go ahead and hate on it... you ARE an early adopter... what did you expect for titles? As for the screen... yes it is small. I could complain but the 3D element is so good. This is common, this is what I mostly hear, but I am different. I fucking love this thing and cannot wait till some REAL titles to release.

     

    I was thinking about the synapse building again... asking myself why. Then I remembered that the first couple of days, when I felt the odd sensation... I went for the fridge without looking and fell a few inches short of the handle. That never happens. What I think is that one is focused on the game, pulling themselves into the 3D. Your aware of an environment that does not exist yet it has depth. I believe a possible explanation is a perspective shift. If I throw you into 1 1/2 gravity, you wouldnt be able to do stuff you normally do without effort. Your body would have to relearn how to make things work properly. I think it is the same, the mind is trying to compensate for spacial relations. I play so much of this damn thing that I think the effect was compounded. I believe if someone were to play a little each day it might circumvent the level of change I experienced.

     

    Im still just bouncing ideas around, I still havent even ran a search to see if anyone else is talking about this.

     

    Ok so far all Im seeing is complaints about headaches, nausea etc. Some get headaches right off! It appears that certain configurations of neurological properties may interfere. I will follow up on this but it appears that I am correct at first glance. I will look further and see if anyone actually did the footwork already, but I intend to find the reason for all of this.

  6. Well Im not saying this is a small difference either. I havent gotten word from Bambi yet, I understand she played a good amount... but I dot know if she played the 3DS like I have. According to the play logs on this thing, a good portion of my week has been on the 3DS. 27:14 hrs on zelda, 4:30 on RE and over an hour on Xevious.

     

    I need to submit this to a 3DS board... I havent really discussed this elsewhere.

  7. Ocarina of time came out, along with Resident Evil Mercenaries... So I finally bought a 3DS. Now I know getting something early has its issues, no games, marketplace is barren as far as 3d applications go... what do you expect, its new. But let me tell you this thing is incredible. Although the screen is small, you are looking through it, and the depth is ridiculous.

     

    But thats not what I really wanted to discuss right now.

     

    While playing Zelda, Navi often chimes in suggesting I take a break, and at the beginning of RE is says "take frequent brakes". Thats not how I do things, I play or watch things for extended periods of time. Zelda is very very deep in terms of 3D. The first couple of days, after a few hours I had to turn the 3D depth to half, my eyes were getting tired. I took brakes, but probably not as often as most. The most notable thing was when I woke up, I was aware of everything in relation to me... I was hyper aware of spacial relations. Along with this my mind had a sensation I havent felt for a very long time. And just the other day my balance was off. I have the balance of a trapeze artist... so I noticed it right away.

     

    What am I saying? My mind has created new synapses. I never even considered this! When your eyes get different signals (i.e. real life), its up to the mind to make it 3D. When you look at a tv its 2d. All depth is judged by perspective. But 3D forces your mind to calculate. "3D" is actually happening IN your head. I dont have all the answers, so I dont know why exactly my mind had to grow new synapses. I dont know enough about 3D so I can only speculate.

     

    But it is weird. There is a notable change, I do feel different. And the obvious changes, I am Hyper aware of everything around me now, like its in my head... and I dont need to turn the depth down on Ocarina of time anymore. When I had to turn it down, it was more than eye fatigue... my mind felt alittle tired too. Solidius says there are alot of people getting headaches... I believe it is DIRECTLY related to what it is I am talking about right now.

     

    Sign in! id love to hear what you have to say... ESPECIALLY if you own a 3DS

  8. Good man.

    I think a lot of guys go through this we go "passive for a while. Then it feels like we are been rolled over and we ignite.

    I cant think on my feet all that well due to the other million nano thoughts I have leading me up to the as you call it the logic hammer.

    I know how that feels.

  9. Lately I've been feeling pretty frank. Im at a stage currently where dumbasses agitate me more than usual. I have not pulled many punches when someone acts up... I crush them with the logic hammer.

     

    I cannot abide useless people. A quote I heard on Firefly and it stuck.

     

    Ill save examples of the logic hammer for later, but when some asshat tries to defend themselves with lies and/or nonsense... I let them have it.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I dont know what my problem is, but I cant let shit slide anymore, or nearly as much. I wish I could compile thoughts on my feet quicker and blast them better than I have... but I've been "educating" these individuals lately and I hope what I say burns in their mind after the fact. Fucking assholes.

     

    If you act a fool, BAM, Uppercut with the logic hammer...

  10. Indeed the Castlevanias!

     

    Okamiden

     

    Any Professor Layton game

     

    Shooter:

    Geometry wars

     

    Rpg (ish):

    Chrono Trigger

    Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced 2 is closer to the original playstation one

    Most Final Fantasies... Stay away from Crystal Cronicles

    Dragon quest IX or any other for that matter...

    Infinite space

    See me if you actually WANT to play good PRG's

     

    Dude I can go for a bit here... The RPG scene is better on the handhelds... but your not one for rpging are you?

     

    You will also want to get movies or shows on there as well... nothing beats a portable vid player.

  11. Daaamn!

     

    I dont know anyone who went apeshit, and hope I never do.

     

    Kicking a guys ass, yelling "whore" in her face, things of that nature are common in these situations... but to stab the shit out of her like that, that was a long time coming. What I mean to say is when someone snaps, its usually the last straw, there was alot of "weight" already. My guess is he has had issues going waaaaaay back that compounded over the years.

     

    Come to think of it, anyone I heard of (friends) who went ballistic were the timid sort. I can imagine then, that it could be hard to see something like that coming.

     

    Most of us dont even know what we are capable of, good or bad. how did Shephard put it on Firefly...

    Live with a man 40 years, share his house, his meals, speak on every subject. Then tie him up and hold him over the volcano's edge, and on that day, you will finally meet the man.
    A man is measured by what he practiced, not what he preached. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." This line rings a hidden truth to me, that often we lie to ourselves, and ignore our shortcomings. And when your pushed to a limit you have to decide. And at the most, ehhhhh... troublesome or emotional or perilous times, you really meet the true person.

     

    Its a shame this happened, but at least she is ok.

  12. My only sympathy goes to the family and friends, not him. I dont mind him being roasted about it either, but its gotta suck for those who knew him.

     

    But if you drive drunk your a fucking fool. Risking others lives is bad enough. Taking innocent life, the fruition of the previous sentence... is practically incomprehensible in my mind, its unabideable. A man can make mistakes but drunk driving is one that should NEVER be made. He took his friend with him.

  13. I got sick of talking to myself. I tried and tried and tried to keep the lounge side of the site attended to. I tried for years... after 2007 was the real drop. Sure it may have been dyeing when Phoenix and I joined, but there was plenty of activity.

     

    Now its just us few... and I think the only reason we come is because of personal situational circumstances. Me? This is my first forum. I dont join many but this was my first, and I like alot of you guys. Emsley I know you stick around for that same reason, the people. For Robert it was the FAS keeping him active. Robert would post more often because he was logging on every few hours or so... just like me.

     

    But as it is, with emulation pretty much flushed out, the site... is now its an ancient archive.

     

    Fuck I miss the days when I joined. Writing crushing walls of text every few hours or so... heh. So many random discussions, it truly was a blast. The site felt right to me, not commercialized, not filled to the brim with trolls. What... just a few? Just enough to keep it interesting, but not tiresome. Hey remember Reaperman and his David? hahahahaha

     

    Hell I hardly go online anymore, just to look something up. And I come here less and less cause when I do, there is nothing. With less and less activity... there is less and less reasons for others to contribute. Were totally passed cut and bleeding. Were almost to "rot" Its a damn shame

     

    It truly does suck because it was a medium for like minded individuals to come together. Sure that sounds lame but its true. Now all thats left is the Lords and Masters.

     

    Ohhh how many threads are there since 2008 with this topic. I believe we talk more about how the site is dead/dying than all other topics combined... (non emulation topics of course)

     

    So yea, This is Grand Overseer Krosigrim checking in.

  14. This is the 3rd time I have said play Mass Effect 2 when you mentioned it...

     

    Play the fucking game already Emsley, its time well spent- as far as gaming goes. This game is the tops and the 3rd one is approaching... at FTL

     

    Yes... you could be the asshole, the rogue. I bet thats the kinda route you naturally take when given the chance. Amiright?

  15. Way of the Samurai 3

    Mass Effect 2

    Portal 2

    Masters of Orion II

    Black Ops

     

    I want a a FPS with portal guns. Imagine what kind of levels youd have to design to to take advantage of this mechanic! Anyway, Im enjoying Portal 2 over the rest currently... with non linear thinking, the mind feels unrestrained, free. Its a good sensation.

  16. DE2 in August? What? Pfft... it better be awesome

     

    Anyway, been playing Torchlight new to the Xbox arcade. Never even heard of this, as Im mostly console. Well its a Diablo clone through and through. Artistically its on the silly side, think World of Warcraft but alittle more cartoony. I began a normal diff game and after a few floors I restarted on Hard. The game is quite easy... Its like they want you to destroy the game. The drop rates in this game are ridiculous, Diablo II took FOREVER (legit) to get anything badass. Harder diff gives better loot. On top of stuff dropping left and right, you can enchant anything. the first enchant has a 2% chance to erase all effects off the item, every time you successfully enchant, the % goes up. Point is you can enchant everything and you can make something already uber, into something absolutely amazing.

     

    The game is great for someone who wants to hack and slash and misses Diablo. But there is no multiplayer so I dont see this game having much steam behind it.
