Cosplay, short for "costume play", is a type of performance art in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. The only character I've ever cosplayed was Simon Henriksson from Cry of Fear, lol. Only had to buy a hoodie to be able to cosplay him, so. Anyway, I've always wanted to cosplay the stalkers from STALKER or Metro 2033.

Regardless, I have absolutely no idea how to parry. I think it might be Tab, but no matter what, pressing Tab has never done anything but gotten me hit. Either way, I am still having nightmares because of my mate informing me that you have to fight multiple Taurus Demons at once...

To me, it is the exact opposite. The only real trouble hardcore mode ever posed to me was ammunition having weight and not being able to heal my crippled limbs with stimpaks. And, the overall combat difficulty was never much, even in the infamous Dead Money(which, was my favourite of the DLC, actually). The inconveniences that came with very hard combat difficulty and hardcore mode were exactly that: nothing more than inconveniences. With NV, the combat wasn't that hard if you had enough supplies, and, of course, I am meticulous about gathering enough supplies. However, in Skyrim, the combat was often next to impossible on harder difficulties no matter what kind of kit you have. Especially with those freaking Draugr Deathlords!! >:C That is, of course, not to say I found the difficulty levels in Skyrim better than NV's; Skyrim's difficulty was only frustrating. NV could've been more of a challenge, in my opinion, but maybe I am just really good at NV. I was told that parrying is essential to playing Dark Souls. And, also, not to trust giant bridges, or something like that...

There's a few things I feel this way about; I absolutely love taking showers, for one. For two, there is not much that can beat the feeling and taste of bottled water after a lot of physical exertion. And, lastly, my phone's music library.

On PC, for me, it is next to impossible. I had to Google the PC controls, since, the in-game hints give you the Xbox controls, and I still don't know how to parry. Although, I've learned a bit since then about the game. Like, how to beat the Taurus Demon that halted my every attempt at progress through my short time playing that game for, like, ten hours. I seriously need to get my Xbox controller hooked up to my PC so I can play that game now. Anyway, on topic, for me, a guy who is absolutely horrid at most games(exceptions being RPG's and survival genre games), I find a lot of modern games hard, especially ones that involve a lot of puzzles and platforming.

I find it much easier to have decent friendships online rather than in real life. I have never been much of one to be open about myself in real life, and, when I have, it normally doesn't do me any good(once, I was taken in for a psychological evaluation due to me confiding something into someone I believed to have been a friend that told what I said to people who shouldn't have heard; t'was not fun), and, of course, I have a great deal of social anxiety(along with other anxiety disorders). When I am online, the ability to be mostly anonymous makes it much easier for me to open up to people. As well as I am able to meet more people who share the same interests and such as I, while, where I live, I haven't met too many people who share my interests. And, in the past, when dealing with issues, it was very easy and consoling to just go to my friends online, bitch about it, then go play a video game and chat with them a while, or something. Although, at the particular moment, I wouldn't say I have really any friends online or in real life. In both my online and real life, I have a handful of people I sometimes hang out and chat with, I wouldn't consider them any more than acquaintances, if that. Anyway, on topic, it really depends who you are, in my opinion. For me, a person who has had extreme social phobia all my life, I have never had a stronger friendship with someone in real life than I have with certain people online, and those online friends definitely helped me with various issues. Ones that none of my real life "friends" could have, at that time. However, for some, it might be easier to be more social in real life and find someone who they can relate to and be absolute best friends with in real life. I'm just not social in real life, nor have I met anyone like that.

The 1979 film Stalker. Really only because it was inspired by one of my favourite books of all time, and, in turn, inspired one of my favourite video game series of all time.

Hello there, everypony. Been lurking around this forum for a good 20 minutes, and I figured I might as well make my first post here, so, allow me to introduce myself: I am Андрей(Andrey); I like ponies, paintball, and video games, and I am new to this forum. Hope to lurk here some more in the future, and maybe even post once or twice.
