I think everyone who wasn't a mr/ms popular in school had a shity time:) Girls probably have an easier time finding dates though. That probably leads to lots of shitty dates, which could probably be worse the no dates at all, as would the the plight of the male geek. I guess I always called the no dates the "dork filter", so I didn't have to waste time with people who weren't going to work out in the long term.
But I like your anger and bitterness, I'll aways relate to people with that:P
That's a hard question to answer. A friend of mine who's what you would consider a normal person, has been single for a few years now. He's had relationships his whole life, and just happened to break up with his last gf coming out of college. After that, he just doesn't meet anyone. I'd have the same problem at this stage of the game too.
It's a hard call. Sometimes you meet people who you get along with and you meet in a situation that they just want to be your friend and don't want anymore then that. I have only dated 3 women in my life, so i'm no casanova. Most of them I met, and once we had spent time together, the relationship just sorta happened. Basically we both couldn't stop talking to each other and our sense of humor and world views sorta fell into place and that was that.
Well, let me think of some stuff off the top of my head that will help with women. The first and easiest thing you can do is clean yourself up if you havent already. I used to wear the same ratty old sweatshirt all the time like a coat and never get my hair cut, so I was pretty henious looking. I tend to notice that "younger" women like the shorter haircuts and older (40's and up) like longer hair. Kind of funny that.
But make sure your cloths are clean, neat, and match. Make sure the cloths still fit who you are and what image you want to put out, but still are somewhat current so you don't stick out like a sore thumb. Make sure your nails are cut, you're shaved, and you don't wreak of BO. This sound's basic but I unfortunatly know a lot of people who don't take care of this stuff.
So that's the basic stuff, stay healthy and keep yourself clean, and now your not just a nice guy but "cute". This is good.
From here we have conversation. I'm not great at meeting new people and I'm even worse at communicating with people who have nothing in common with me, so take advice with a grain of salt.
When you meet a girl that is attractive to you and seems to enjoy your conversation, don't go overboard. I knew a guy who every time he went out on a date would be buying them presents or writing a song or something about them for the 2nd one. I think this scared a lot of people away.
Really pay attention to what the other person's saying, and don't spend all your time talking yourself up if they don't seem interested. I know I could ramble on about games or something to my fionce but she'd just smile and nod and try to be polite about it, but she really doesn't give a shit that I just hit level 5000 in disgaea.
I guess this is all pretty basic stuff, so really as I said before, be yourself, be polite, if you are getting along, enjoy yourselves. The rest should just sort of fall into place. One big pitfall to watch out for is to insult or be rude to the woman for not paying attention to you or not responding to you as you want. I no sometimes it hurst the ego and it's tempting to throw out insults at the person, but that's not going to help.
These are just thing's I've observed over time, but every persons unique, so this is all just bs anyways. Good luck:)
I don't know if you are joking with this post or anything, but trying to change yourself to fit someone's profile of what they want in a person isn't a very good solution to meeting people.
The biggest and best thing you can do to meet people is to learn how to be comfortable with yourself around strangers. If you can be the same person you are in front of your friends with a stranger, chances are they are going to find you interesting if you are compatable in some degree or another. Just put your real self out there, don't bs or try to say what you think the other person wants to hear. Say what you want to say, and be yourself.
Of coarse, that's for finding a lasting relationship, and I have no expereince finding short term hookup partners, so in that case you probably want to make yourself out to be someone else to temporarily impress them.
stepmainia is probably your solution. I haven't downloaded it and tried it myself, but I believe its a free ddr type game for your pc. You will still have to buy some sort of ps2 to usb converter (usually around 13ish bucks) and a dancepad, but otherwise it is free. I also believe you have to find songs to download, and I think you can create your own, but i'm not sure what's involed with that, and you probably have to know the game very well to make good songs. But either way, i assume you can find a great variety of music to plug into stepmanaia to play.
Very well said. I'm 24 myself, and this is probably the first time I'm starting to take my physical health seriously. I've never been in great shape, but enough to get by, but when I started workign full time and going out to eat a lot, I had put on about 25 pounds and kept shooting up.
I finally cought myself and said what the f are you doing? I started being concious of what I was eating and checking calories, nothing crazy, just enough to make sure I wasn't eating too many in a day. I started cutting out the times I ate because I was bored sitting around the house, and stopped stuffing my face to finish everything that's in front of me even when I'm not hungry.
I also started taking yoga to try something different, because tradtional exercises never worked for me. A year or so later, I still go to yoga once a week, lost the 25 pounds, and can flatten my palms on the floor and then some. Sure i'm still just a skinny person, but I feel a lot better about myself, and have alot more energy.
So find what's fun and do it, cause then you won't even realize you are losing weight. The goal should be fun, cause if people could do the tradtional work out, they would, and wouldnt be obese. Good job DDR.
I agree with you completly about the warped view we have here in america.
There is one thing though. Nudity and sexuality can be pretty different things. Sometimes nudity is just nudity and its a naked person with does not stir any sort of sexual reaction from you. But then you could have a person standing a certain way or performing a certain action that adds sexuality to the sitation and evokes different feelings.
For a child maybe having this type of reaction or something similar isn't something you want to expose a child to. For some reason it seems like a more powerful reaction then witnessing violence, but then again, I've never witnessed real violence besides what you see on the news. Perhaps I have a stronger reaction to sexuality because it is covered up here in the US then violence is.
But I guess experienceing new things is part of growing up and learning, and just think, if sexuality was more open, it would be easier for parents to talk to their kids about it, maybe it would lead to people understanding more, cause less unwanted pregnancies, which lead to broken homes, which lead to emotionally damaged children, who in turn will probably damage their children. Sure people break the cycle, but a lot of people don't.
Eitherway, we need to ligthen up about nudity and our bodies, and the more the media throws it at us and makes it part of us culture, the more comfortable we all get with it. They just need to pump in more people that look like the ones they have on hbo's "real sex" for a does of realism:P
Definatly. I've seen a few of those shows on tv and it was really boring, espeically because you couldn't tell whats going on. They cut to someone shooting someone to death, then someone holding the flag and running, and it's just so disjointed you don't know whats going on.
What they need is to have a map in the upper right that has everyones position on it on screen at all times so you can watch the teams move on the map and get the big picture, then focus on the conflicts and grabs.
This is still hard as someone dieing definatly isn't as rewarding as when you are pulling the trigger. Still, an overhead map would make a huge difference.
Same. I liked them at first cause hey, here's jedi and lightsabers with cool special effects. I missed all the cool rebel and imperial themed stuff, but I could deal cause they had jedi. After getting over that and watching them again, shit, complete shit. I hate how all the battle scenes have to have some comic relief character accidently killing everything in sight. They never did anything like that in the old movies.
Thats probably the difference, the old movies, while cheesy at some point, for the most part, tried to be series and left the comic relief out of the mix.

No, not at all. Roe kicks are nice, but otherwise it doesnt work. When you have 70 honor to burn because you play the game all day, when you're bored and want to tk for the sniper rifle, there's nothing to stop you.
I like it, and I like being tied to an account for accountability, but it still has some flaws.
The other thing to consider is that everything just fit together so well in halo. I played it well after it had come out, so it really didn't look all that good. But something about the music, sound effects, weapons, level design, and monsters flying through the air screaming really hooked me. My first fps was wolf 3d so i've been around the block in terms of control scemes. I got used to halo's no problem with the controler and it works good enough for me.
Halo is just a well put together game all around. When you start playing it, everything just comes together, and you cant put it down. I tried to figure it out, here I am, playing this fps game, with no new concepts and so so graphics, yet, I can't put it down.
That's just called a good game. I know it's startling to admit it, but a good game doesn't need to inovate, it just has to put everything together so it's fun to play.
I'm with you 100% on this too. MOM was perhaps one of my favorate games ever. I played that for many years after it came out. Age of wonders games ALMOST make a good replacment for it, but theres just something missing from aow that mom had. Can't put my finger on it though, its probably just nastalgia kicking in.
Anyway, I got MOO 3 on release, opened it, installed, read the instructions, and started reading the help in the game. A few hours later, I was ready for turn 2. I was clumsy the interface was and how burried critical menus were. I remember how my favorate part of the first moo was that everything to run the day to day buisness was right on top.
So I get to turn 2. I'm now up to speed on how the game works because I enjoy reading manuals and all the tutorials for games before I get going. I decided that there was way too much effort with too little of a reward for me, and never made it to turn 3. What a dissapointment.
There is no answer to that question. What you are really asking is, why can't a person who playes 5 hours a week be just as good as someone who plays 40 hours a week? The answer is they wont, ever. This is a simple fact of life. If I play volleyball once a week for 5 years, I am probably going to be decent. But joe powergamer plays 5 times a week for 5 years. He's going to kick my ass at it, because he puts more time in it.
Here is the difference though, with a game like EQ, where time is almost the only factor in strength. You can limit the ability to gain power or level/skill up to such a small degree that the casual guy would hit the ceiling in a month or so. But that means it'll take the powergamer about a week.
This questoin just frustates me. It's like, I want to be as strong as the powergamer!!!111 I'm going to put in 40 hours and I want to not die to the power gamer!!! It is going to take me a month to put in 40 hours!
Ok, so the designers make a game that takes 40 hours to max out. Uber gamer puts 40 hours in one weeek and is maxed. "casual" players bitch.
You can limit the amount of time in real life hours. That would suck. "Sorry, you played too much, come back next week." Or they log in and cant make any gains at all, guess what, they'll move on to the next game.
You can have everyone come into the game max skill and power and let them configure their guys before the game starts. This is like rpg quake though, no skill or stat gains isnt what people want, and anyway, causual players would still get owned BECAUSE THEY DONT PUT THE TIME IN!
God damn people, thats how life works, you want to be social, learn to be social, you want to be good at a sport, play the god damn sport, you want to lose weight, fucking exercise, you want to be good at a game, put the time in.
I always wonder if tv is getting dumber or I'm just growing up. I catch reruns of some of the old shows I watched when I was 16 or so (24 now, stopped watching around that age becaude I started working and got online the first time) and they are pretty silly. My roomate and I crack up everytime we see commercials with people tossing food through water or something falling. We are like why the f do they always have to toss things through water?
But maybe as we grow up and educate ourselves, we demand more sophisticated and orginal television, or at liest something different then we've seen before. Watching the same old tv shows with a higher budget for special effects just gets old. Either way, I can't help feeling like I am wasting my time when I'm in front of the t.v. vegitating.
Would have bought this no questions asked. It also would have been a great game to introduce my gf to pc gaming. Going to have to dig out the old ones instead.
There's nothing wrong with doing any activity for however long you want. It's only when you start hating yourself for what you are doing that you need to stop. You've hit an age now where you want something more out of your life then coming home and fragging some guys you hardly know that live across the globe.
When you finish the day, and you look back and think, god damn, I wasted my whole day playing those stupid games, then something needs to change. Either you stop feeling like you are dumber for playing the games over and over, or you find a new activity that will make you feel like you spent your time in a meaningful way.
It's part of growing up and changing. I think it usually involves looking back at your life and feeling like you wasted the vast majority of it and that you need something more to it. Now that you realize you want more from life, nows the time to go out and get it. You just have to find your thing, your comfort activity that makes you feel good about you and how you are spending your time. You probably needed all those years of gaming behind you to reach this point to say, hey, I want more! So go out and get it, don't keep on the path that's got you so upset only because you've been on it for so long and its now "hopeless". There's always time to change, so get cracking:)
Yeah, I usually unwinde playing a nice shoot em up pc game where I don't have to think at the end of a work day, and don't get into any strategy games until the weekend.
But on those really tiring days where you are super burnt out, I flip on the tv or watch a movie. That's for when I REALLY don't want to be thinking:)
Why do you feel that every mmorpg game out there has to cater to everyones style of play? Theres a bunch of games out there, pick one that fits your style of play and stay there. If ac darktide players like that style of play so much then they can continue playing ac darktide.
I swear people are so stupid. If you like pvp your a ganker, if you like pve your a carebare. I like both, wtf am I, a ganking carebare? If you do solo a lot, you do it in a way you wan to experience their world and their content and the day to day original experiences you encounter with other people in the world.
I mean, I remember one day in daoc seeing some guy paying newbies cash to jump off the balcony in camelot until they died. Or some guy in eq who turned into a tree and was talking to people as they walked by. In shadowbane some stealing from the group he just left. You can't recreate that in single player.
Single player is for being awesome and destroying everyone and everything and severly altering the world through your actions. Online play is for exploring and experiencing people and dynamic events.
But a multiplayer dungeon crawl with 4 other buddies as you work your way through hoards of monsters together can be just as fun and rewarding and have that same sense of danger a fully pvp game gives you.
I guess it comes down to somedays you want that heart pounding action that a complete pvp game will give you, and somedays you just want to chill and bash monsters.
WoW is supposed to have limited pvp anyway, so with any luck they'll implement a full pvp area for you or something.
Yeah, the fact that the sword is too big really detracts from the realism, especially with the giant yellow green thing behind him making me feel like i'm right back on earth. That and the fact that he'll be swinging at goblins and man sized forest animals. Damn swords just ruin and otherwise realistic game.
By the way I think there were some two handed swords that were around 4 feet long and weighed around 10 to 12 pounds, but probaby were not as wide as the one in that picture. I could be wrong on that though, don't feel like checking:)
Right on. I dread having to use.rm for anything because as soon as I open the player I'm bombarded by pop ups and it opens up some real_blahblah process that'll periodically annoy me if I forget to go in and kill it. Real needs to die.

I think everyone who wasn't a mr/ms popular in school had a shity time :) Girls probably have an easier time finding dates though. That probably leads to lots of shitty dates, which could probably be worse the no dates at all, as would the the plight of the male geek. I guess I always called the no dates the "dork filter", so I didn't have to waste time with people who weren't going to work out in the long term.
:P

I'd have the same problem at this stage of the game too.

It's a hard call. Sometimes you meet people who you get along with and you meet in a situation that they just want to be your friend and don't want anymore then that. I have only dated 3 women in my life, so i'm no casanova. Most of them I met, and once we had spent time together, the relationship just sorta happened. Basically we both couldn't stop talking to each other and our sense of humor and world views sorta fell into place and that was that.
Well, let me think of some stuff off the top of my head that will help with women. The first and easiest thing you can do is clean yourself up if you havent already. I used to wear the same ratty old sweatshirt all the time like a coat and never get my hair cut, so I was pretty henious looking. I tend to notice that "younger" women like the shorter haircuts and older (40's and up) like longer hair. Kind of funny that.
But make sure your cloths are clean, neat, and match. Make sure the cloths still fit who you are and what image you want to put out, but still are somewhat current so you don't stick out like a sore thumb. Make sure your nails are cut, you're shaved, and you don't wreak of BO. This sound's basic but I unfortunatly know a lot of people who don't take care of this stuff.
So that's the basic stuff, stay healthy and keep yourself clean, and now your not just a nice guy but "cute". This is good.
From here we have conversation. I'm not great at meeting new people and I'm even worse at communicating with people who have nothing in common with me, so take advice with a grain of salt.

Really pay attention to what the other person's saying, and don't spend all your time talking yourself up if they don't seem interested.

I guess this is all pretty basic stuff, so really as I said before, be yourself, be polite, if you are getting along, enjoy yourselves. The rest should just sort of fall into place. One big pitfall to watch out for is to insult or be rude to the woman for not paying attention to you or not responding to you as you want. I no sometimes it hurst the ego and it's tempting to throw out insults at the person, but that's not going to help.
These are just thing's I've observed over time, but every persons unique, so this is all just bs anyways. Good luck
I don't know if you are joking with this post or anything, but trying to change yourself to fit someone's profile of what they want in a person isn't a very good solution to meeting people.
The biggest and best thing you can do to meet people is to learn how to be comfortable with yourself around strangers.

Just put your real self out there, don't bs or try to say what you think the other person wants to hear. Say what you want to say, and be yourself.
Of coarse, that's for finding a lasting relationship, and I have no expereince finding short term hookup partners, so in that case you probably want to make yourself out to be someone else to temporarily impress them.
Well whatever, done rambling.
stepmainia is probably your solution. I haven't downloaded it and tried it myself, but I believe its a free ddr type game for your pc. You will still have to buy some sort of ps2 to usb converter (usually around 13ish bucks) and a dancepad, but otherwise it is free. I also believe you have to find songs to download, and I think you can create your own, but i'm not sure what's involed with that, and you probably have to know the game very well to make good songs. But either way, i assume you can find a great variety of music to plug into stepmanaia to play.

It's part of growing up and changing. I think it usually involves looking back at your life and feeling like you wasted the vast majority of it and that you need something more to it. Now that you realize you want more from life, nows the time to go out and get it. You just have to find your thing, your comfort activity that makes you feel good about you and how you are spending your time. You probably needed all those years of gaming behind you to reach this point to say, hey, I want more! So go out and get it, don't keep on the path that's got you so upset only because you've been on it for so long and its now "hopeless". There's always time to change, so get cracking
Yeah, I usually unwinde playing a nice shoot em up pc game where I don't have to think at the end of a work day, and don't get into any strategy games until the weekend.
:)
But on those really tiring days where you are super burnt out, I flip on the tv or watch a movie. That's for when I REALLY don't want to be thinking
Why do you feel that every mmorpg game out there has to cater to everyones style of play? Theres a bunch of games out there, pick one that fits your style of play and stay there. If ac darktide players like that style of play so much then they can continue playing ac darktide.
I swear people are so stupid. If you like pvp your a ganker, if you like pve your a carebare. I like both, wtf am I, a ganking carebare? If you do solo a lot, you do it in a way you wan to experience their world and their content and the day to day original experiences you encounter with other people in the world.
I mean, I remember one day in daoc seeing some guy paying newbies cash to jump off the balcony in camelot until they died. Or some guy in eq who turned into a tree and was talking to people as they walked by. In shadowbane some stealing from the group he just left. You can't recreate that in single player.
Single player is for being awesome and destroying everyone and everything and severly altering the world through your actions. Online play is for exploring and experiencing people and dynamic events.
But a multiplayer dungeon crawl with 4 other buddies as you work your way through hoards of monsters together can be just as fun and rewarding and have that same sense of danger a fully pvp game gives you.
I guess it comes down to somedays you want that heart pounding action that a complete pvp game will give you, and somedays you just want to chill and bash monsters.
WoW is supposed to have limited pvp anyway, so with any luck they'll implement a full pvp area for you or something.
Yeah, the fact that the sword is too big really detracts from the realism, especially with the giant yellow green thing behind him making me feel like i'm right back on earth. That and the fact that he'll be swinging at goblins and man sized forest animals. Damn swords just ruin and otherwise realistic game.
:)
By the way I think there were some two handed swords that were around 4 feet long and weighed around 10 to 12 pounds, but probaby were not as wide as the one in that picture. I could be wrong on that though, don't feel like checking
Right on. I dread having to use .rm for anything because as soon as I open the player I'm bombarded by pop ups and it opens up some real_blahblah process that'll periodically annoy me if I forget to go in and kill it. Real needs to die.
It's too bad I won't buy the game until they do include it. My pc wouldnt be able to handle it anyways...
