Wth Spurge? Why do you reply so late?


Because I have like 20 threads and it is hard to keep track of them. Why does it matter? I have not necrobumbed. I did not just make a one word reply like "Cool", and I do like one a day.

Why is this the second time in two days that you have come in and been bothered to say anything? Are you the new Seece of the site that plans on bothering me about every single thing? Is it your intention to single me out in your crusade to annoy me? The site is dead! Be happy I am doing something. I have been gone all day. If no one is interested then it will probably die on its own because I will not double or triple post.

 

May I answer any other questions for you? What have I done today?

 

Ok, today I patched my driveway with QPR. Alltogether it cost me around 280 dollars to patch it myself. To do the edge of the driveway I bought three 2X4's and staked them together with screws that I screwed in myself to make sure that they did not move. Then I poured bag after bag after bag of Sticky asphalt. It was an all day affair. I currently have a sun burn on my neck and eye area.

 

Do you need any more attention from Spurgey or is that enough? I could come on by and friend you so that you can deny it if you like?

I think you took that a little too seriously.

OT: I've tried to reach over 2'000'000 people in SimCity Creator (Wii)... it's kind of hard since the maps are so tiny. >_>

I've done a lot of challenges during my gaming years, but some of those that i'm really proud of are:

- Beat the Black Rabite on Secret of Mana 2 with an underlevelled team (even with a level 99 team, it's almost impossible to beat it)

- Completed Order of Ecclesia Hard Mode Lvl 1 challenge (think NES Ninja Gaiden is bad with off screen enemies? this baby will make you cry, since not only you have off screen enemies and random projectiles, everything OHKO's you).

- Completed the original Contra without using the Konami Code.

- Completed Battletoads solo.

- Finally managed to defeat the last boss of Mushihimesama Futari Ultra Mode.

Lulz! Battletoads. Made for co-op play and you beat it on solo. That is pretty cool.

 

Probably the most I have ever tried to destroy others scores on is when I had my Atari as a kid. We were always fighting for domination when it came to points. I would sneak out in the living room at night just so I had extra time to play. With four kids in the house you had to take turns. At night I had plenty of time to demolish records of others.

Well, to be fair, the game can be a bit harder in 2-Player mode if you have a lousy partner, since you can hit your partner's character with normal attacks or throw enemies at it, which often resulted in OHKOs. Not to mention the critical 2nd player bug in Level 11, which made you lose an entire continue in order for the 1st player to be able to actually finish the level.

1. I got a gold medal in every race, crash course, takedown event, and lap time race in Burnout 3 - Takedown. I probably put a good 150 hours into that game to get all the golds. You should try racing an F1 car at full turbo around a lap, against traffic, with all sort of obstacles and tight turns to beat the gold medal lap time without getting into a single crash or slow-down. Literally, a perfect lap. It will take a hundred tries before you get it right.

2. to find every single boss (mandatory or not) in Demon's/Dark souls and defeat them. Also beating Smough before Ornstein in the Smough/Ornstein boss encounter. Haha, that was fun.

3. Dominating with tmp/knife combo in counter strike to defeat all opposing players using AKs, M4s, Snipe Rifles, and Paras.

Despite all that, I couldn't care less about platinum trophies...
