Liar!!! You said on the Juestin Bieber Lesbian look-alike thread that you're in a retirement home and that you were live in a retirement home and that you were alive when the first Mickey Mouse cartoon came out. You lied you teenage bastard! You lied!

 


so you believed me? i feel loved :)

even though if i was a retired gamer i woudnt own a ps3. and my sig clarifies that.

btw how do you know, i might have lied in this post o.O you will never know!

You fooled me!

I had this whole image of a sweet old man living in a retirement home, abandoned by his family, all alone with nothing but video games, a hobby that he picked up from one of the kids volunteering at the old folks home. I had this whole ideea of me adding him as a friend on this site and befriending him and eventually going to the Uk to visit him, 'cause you know, his kids and grandkids had forgotten about him, to busy with their petty shallow lives.

And we would play Halo 3 on the Xbox 360 they had at the old folks home, and he'd tell me his life story and I'd learn valuable life lessons and he'd relive his youth through me and encourage me to not be afraid to live my life.The kids volunteering would pick on him and call him senile and replace his heart medicine with tic-tacs, but I'd scare them off and defend him

And after I'd return home to Romania,and one day I'd notice that he didn't respond to an email I had sent him some time ago, so I'd make an expensive phone call to the old folks home in the UK and I'd learn that he had passed away. So I'd go back to the UK to his funeral and see what a-holes his family is, saying what a looser he was and how he never made any money and how they didn't have anything to inherit. Outraged, and knowing what a nice wonderfull man he was, I'd write a book in his honour that would become a best seller and adapted into a Lifetime movie starring Ian McKellen as the old guy and a good looking hot up and coming newcomer as me. And then I'd be invited on Oprah and she'd compliment my book that had sold 1 million copies in the US in just 1 month and what a nice young man I was and how extremely handsome I was.

Damn you, you barely-got-out-of-puberty punk! Damn you for ruining my dream of being on Oprah!

i can still tell you life lessons, ive been living on a volcano for 15 years,we had wars, corrupt presidants, the killing of gay man, basically i can teach you anything you want. and il love beating you at halo 3. then you can go to oprah and right how wonderful my country is, then youl be bigger then oprah.

You lie again! There are no volcanoes in the UK! And I'll definately kill you in Halo 3 if we're on the same team. I have the tendency to do that .

There are far too many to name. So I will just name 2 games that I can always go back and play and feel mass amounts of joy. The original Final Fantasy for NES and the orignal Legend of Zelda.



Mario Bros 1

No introduction needed for the game... but it was my first game and I can STILL remember playing it as a 4 year old and getting all excited when I passed level after level... and then getting super pissed when princess wasn't in the castle... but when I beat it... I gave an epic scream of joy :3

The Lost Vikings

It's a game that didn't sell well but basically it's Abe Oddysee on the SNES but with 3 characters to control and these characters are vikings... each with thier own special abilities and weakness... I believe the game has 100 or 200 levels of awesomeness and the more I went on... the more I felt for these guys because they needed each other and I even saw them as brothers just trying to make it through.

Fallout 1

You go through a hell load... and I mean a HELL LOAD of things and I really got connected with my character that I created... all the decisions were mine after all so when I passed it.. the ending was that much more.. won't spoil it.

BioShock 1

Similiar to Fallout's environment... great game, very sad.. made me feel bad for all those people that ruined thier lives and the end (I passed it on the good ending) almost made me shed a tear.

 

 



All gaming systems, consoles/PC, have thier perks... why fight over preferences? I like Coke and you like Pepsi, that's it, let's not fight over which toy we like best cause that's what they are. Is someone's preference in a toy important or is the relationship between you and your neighbor more important? Answer is obvious, but THE most important thing is your relationship with God almighty. God Bless you in Jesus's name.

I can communicate without talking... I can send a loved one money without actually sending money... and I can commit theft without the product disappearing, the point of theft is the point of theft not one of it's possible symptoms which is the product dissappearing. The thief wants to gain something without paying for it, that's the point of theft, the thief doesn't have to care or anybody else has to care if the product dissappears. The product dissappearing is just a possible symptom of theft. Gifts are sacrfices, in order to give a gift, it has to be a genuine sacrfice/gift, meaning a copy of the game isn't still in your PC. Piracy is theft and/or being a culprit of theft.

Lemmings was such an awesome, innovative and diabolic game, and it's one of my all time favourites. I also loved the vs. mode.



It was shorty after I got my Gamecube, I was so disappointed after Final Fantasy X and other RPG's on the PS2 at that time because they paled hard in comparison to many games on PS1. I thought that jRPGs were losing their magic on me or that the quality was bad. Many things on games back then were "been there, done that" with similar stories, plots and characters. After so many games on PS1 I thought that the touch was lost forever. I bought the Gamecube because Resident Evil Remake and Smash Brothers Melee were more attractive to me than jRPGs.

That is... until I bought Skies of Arcadia Legends

I didn't have much internet Access with dial-up modem but the screens were interesting about airship battles and islands in the sky. I thought I should check it out and without second thoughts I ordered the game online.

The moment I started playing it felt different from what I have played so far. I couldn't stop playing it and I wanted to see more: locales, people, discoveries, battles.... etc. I was amazed by the contrast of each continent: Valua, Nasr, Ixa-taka, Yafutoma, the Ice Continent, the Silver Moon... Man. The main character was not emo with a shady past, not an orphan. Vyse was someone that wanted so go beyond the horizon and see the world. Overall, the game felt fresh to me and made me want to play jRPGs again, but none have left me an impression of freshness as Skies of Arcadia Legends.

The soundtrack is one of the greatest I have ever heard because each song is perfect for the atmosphere.

For example, when you are in Ixa-taka, this music is awesome and It reminded me of the Indian civilizations before the Spaniards arrived in Central and South America

When you are exploring the world in Little Jack, this song just made me want to explore a bit more than just reach a location 

In Yafutoma, while I like the theme of the city. The theme of the Eastern Air Pirates is just awesome



I would have to Ocarina Of Time.  So many memories.  Also Link To The Past and Twilight Princess.  Outside of Zelda, Assassin's Creed II, GTA San Andreas, and probably Flower.  Because when you play these games, you completely get lost in the environment and forget where you are.

Deus Ex.

Everything about that game was just so immersive, the developers really did think of everything.

You decided how to go about your missions. Do you hack the computer system and open the door whilst programming the turrets to attack the guards? Bribe an official to give you the code? Pick the lock? Kill the guards and get the key? The choice was always yours and the levels were always designed to give you multiple options. Even on my fifth playthrough I was finding the odd hidden room, or new methods to go about things.

And the cyber-punk setting, the storyline with the amazing conspiracy theories, the fact that if you pissed off characters their were genuine consequences to your actions, so many things! Then there was the science in the game. It actually helped me choose my degree course with all the cool biotech stuff in the game.

I got so addicted and the game so immersive that when I was walking down the science block of my school I heard a beeping sound (that turned out to be a timer) that was identical to the sound of the explosives in the game. I then proceeded to jump into the opposite room before realising I was in the real world...
