Great stuff. Nice to read some well written posts. A long way between them.

I know this may be a little after the fact. Just reading past logs here.
But I work in a school, not teaching, just a part of the IT department since all the girls have laptops, and on pretty much *every* computer that comes in there are games. From simple flash based games like Mario Kart, Icy Tower, Neopets and the likes, to the more complicated Sims ect….And yes, from what I’ve seen they will also load something onto their phone if they can.
I’m afraid My Ingham is sorely out of touch with kids in schools today.

What are VV girls?! I think I’m more than unfamiliar with the forum you’re talking about.

Well lets just say I am very fond of my VV girls and when someone steps out of line with one of them i tend to get my feathers ruffled abit. And they just made the mistake of picking on one of my favorites which made me have the Red Rings fo Death in my eyes*LOL*

Yeah the thread didn’t stay up long one of our sponsors saw it and didn’t like the idea*which I wasnt that crazy about either* and the owner took it down

Wow. Defending someone’s honor, eh? Well. It’s tough. It something is instated where you can say whatever you want. . . what is the line? People will always try to ride the line if there is one. The only way something like that works is if there is no line. That people can really say whatever they want.

I don’t get angry often, I have a very long fuse but when I blow up I am loud usually*LOL* but I calm down quickly as well. Anyway lets just say someone said something in the forums about a particular person that I didn’t appreciate. We tried a thread on NXG where you could say whatever you want with no incriminations. Yeah didn’t work out so well, it got out of hand quickly. Anyway I ripped into this kid really bad because of what he said. Ok the bad thing is I didn’t know the kid was like 14 or 15 until after I ragged on him bad enough he stayed out of the forums.

Haha. Oh really? What have you had to do that for? What is it that actually made you angry, hm?

Hey its a talent, Im pretty good at it myself to tell the truth. But I get to develope my talent with some of my XBL friends–I swear sometimes we go after each other harder than we do people we don’t like*LOL* but when your with those kinds of friends you learn not to take anything said personal. I try not to unleash the beast too much though…I have had to a few times on the NXG forums…to the extreme suprise of a few people*LOL* yeah I am normally the quiet guy on the site

That’s actually fairly true. However I am very skilled in the art of verbal warfare and really know how to hit people where it hurts. Thankfully I normally keep that talent to myself.

LOL for some reason I doubt your evil in real life advent, I’ve noticed that people who normally can’t play evil in games. Normally are the same way in real life, so I bet you run around with a little halo on your head there as well(except for your zombie director fetish*LOL*)

I am terrible at being bad. In Fable I had a halo. In Mass Effect I got the achievement for being good way too quickly. While my brother was mass killing scientists in Goldeneye I was yelling at him. Evil is tempting but I just can’t do it in games. Haha. Maybe I’m too evil in real life. . .

Starwars battlefront games ROCK! I have soo much fun playing those.. They should soo come out with some for 360

By: Ravenous Wulf

Ravenous Wulf — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 20:37:35 +0000

Yeah I quiet enjoyed the Starwars battlefront games as well as the KotoR games–now those kicked ass. The 1st one was better than the 2nd one in my book–one of the robots was hilarious cause it would bash on you from out of nowhere calling you a meatbag*LOL* I think your a bad guy who got amnesia and went from there….Somehow I never can turn bad by nature, though I ride the line pretty good*LOL* I took a starwars test one time and it said I was Anakin Skywalker just on the edge of being Darth Vader

Yeah, somehow I missed those also I sold many copies back when I worked at Target. I’ve been advised to KotOR also.

hmmm let me think(hey where did all the smoke come from*LOL*) anywho–though it won’t count on points Star Wars Battlefront 1&2 were awesome and should be cheap

By: x The Advent x

x The Advent x — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 07:54:03 +0000

Well that’s cool, I might have to pick it up then. Any other cheap suggestions that are not only good for achievements? (No Cabela’s suggestions, here).

I would have bought the limited edition if x-box was the one that came with the black t-shirt and darth vader character. . . but no, that’s for playstation. Sigh. I will just settle for the regular 360 game when it comes out, and I’ll probably end up renting.

I haven’t heard too many positive opinions of that game. . . it also went down in price very quickly. Maybe I will try it.

well I rent cabelas *LOL* you can only do soooo much virtual hunting before you get bored*LOL*. I looked at the back of the box on SC4 and saw Yoda on there fighting with someone, looks like they are taking it intergalatic this time*LOL* should be the shit…now where is that force choke when I need it*LOL* Saints Row was pretty freakin kool actually, fully customized characters and while the missions were GTA like there were some differences. Enough that I played through the game and played the online a time or two*lag was a big issue for multiplayer though*

I would play the Cabelas games if they fell into my lap. But you won’t see me buying them, that’s for sure. I’m really excited for Soul Calibur IV. I always have fun going through the “missions” in the Soul Calibur games.

I didn’t play Saints Row but since I heard it was similar to GTA games that’s kind of what kept me away. I haven’t sincerely enjoyed a GTA game since GTA II. The overhead GTA’s were the bomb. Haha.
