  1. Does anyone else remember a video game that you personally enjoyed a lot, but not many other people remember very well? For me, Downhill Domination was one of my favorite "Underrated Gem" video games.

      Seek and Destroy for PS2.maxresdefault.thumb.jpg.59109b8e3e99f831c08877d7d1ad46f4.jpg

      Look at that cover, man! It's all actiony and American...

      Then there's the actual game.

      Completely different. Still, it was a great deal of fun. Lots of different tanks with a LOT of customization. The story, silly though it was, actually had several ways it could play out. Doing one mission before another could completely change the other mission and land you with different rewards, which was pretty cool at the time. The only downside for me was on the replayability front. Enemies weren't scaled up for NG+, so the game became laughably easy. It was fine though if you were willing to start a nee game every time.

  3. Ah man. I was surfing youtube last night and came across some old cash for clunkers videos. That was such a shitty program... So many great cars killed. The mechanics were just doing their job so they shouldn't take the hate. I'm glad some of them got to have fun with some of the old cars before offing them. This video is hilarious:

      I think that it's an odd example of a car that is not timeless. By that I mean, I get why people think now, in 2017, that it's ugly... But that people in the 1980s thought it looked sharp. There's definitely still a (very) small niche of people who love these, like you and I, but many people think it's a car best left in the past, and I understand both sides.

      It really is fantastically hideous, but that's what's so great about it. The continental kit and wood paneling sold me enough, then it started talking...

       

      Imma have to teach my Lexus to do that.

  4. These FSL Zinc Zn30's sound really freaking great for their price. If I tried them in a blind test I'd assume they were 40 or 50 dollar earbuds, honestly. I can't say anything about durability though because I just got them. I initially got them for on-the-go travel earbuds, but seeing as these sound almost as good as my 60 dollar Sony's, I'll probably just use my JLab JBuds2's for travel, which are also pretty good but are a little too high on treble for my tinnitus-ringing ears for multiple hours of listening at home. But yeah, I totally recommend these:

    Oh, and while I'm recommending stuff, these rechargeable AA's are great:

  6. I made a new blog about the Western IL Threshers show my father and I went to yesterday - There are tons of photos! Go and check them out! Feel free to comment anything you want, even old stories if you have any. 

    Has it become obvious why Applejack is my favorite pony yet? :icwudt:

    Initially, I posted a thread in General, but it was closed as the mod thought it wouldn't generate enough discussion, which I understand. But I hope to see at least a few people looking at the photos and commenting! Feel free to post photos of your own (or your family's) tractors and such, as well!

  7. Hmmm... You know, I've always thought your name was one of the coolest ones here.

  8. *Sigh* You know... 2 or 3 years ago the topic I created would have brought in boat-load of discussion. I almost thought about complaining that my topic would still bring discussion. But then I realized what this site has come to these days, and figured that you're probably right. Oh well. You win some you lose some. :maud:

  10. So apparently my cat Louie is a total Badass:

    I know it may sound biased coming from me, his owner, but my cat is the most docile, super chill, loving, and nonchalant cat (around humans) I have ever seen. He's both an indoor *and* outdoor cat, and likes to love up to almost every human that comes near him, especially my mom, myself, and my dad. He likes to "talk" (meow) a lot if he wants attention, too.

    However, when he deems it necessary, he takes on a completely different attitude. If we're outside with him and a stray animal (or someone else's unknown pet) comes nearby, he becomes fully territorial [of our area] and relentlessly protective [of us].

    Today, my mother was outside picking weeds around our weeping crabapple tree near the street, and a woman's dog had apparently gotten loose from her grasp on the leash (or possibly just wasn't leashed anyway). I was inside so I didn't see this happen, but my mother says that, as the dog was walking on the sidewalk across the road, it saw my mother and started to bark at her and "bounce" towards her. Louie had been sitting or lying near my mother, and when the dog (a full grown Labrador) started doing that, Louie jumped up and bolted at him like a tiger, throwing paws and claws and screaming like beast. He was absolutely intending to destroy that dog if he needed to. Luckily for its own sake, my mother immediately yelled at this woman to grab her dog. The owner mistakenly thought my mother asked this because she was afraid the dog would hurt the cat, but my mother quickly replied that no, she was afraid our cat would claw that dog a new face. The woman quickly realized her dog had just pissed off the wrong cat, and grabbed it and started to walk away, looking backwards at my cat every few steps in awe of him and his courageous behavior.

      Once In A Blue Moon

      My cat Archie had an epiphany when he realised that our dogs (Labradors as well) were terrible cowards, although thankfully unlike another of the cats he didn't start to bully them* - rather, he just ignored them when they tried to chase him or other such antics that would earn a slap from the other cat. Friendly though he is, I don't get the impression he'd lift so much as a paw to protect me - too busy fixating on catching birds (as opposed to the rodents that he's supposed to be after.)

      What is more concerning is his complete lack of fear of horses; he will sit in the middle of the yard and expect them to walk around him - and so far they have.


      *said cat is the reason that the local fox now avoids going too near our barn.

      My cat is terrorizing only flies and spiders. But he is good at it. True flies serial killer.:D

    Hahaha, he's so on point. I can't imagine having people sing "Love Shack" to me day in and day out because of the car I'm driving.

  12. I tried the (kind of) new Pepsi Fire out. I didn't know what it really was when I bought it. To me, it gave the implication that it was spicy like hot peppers, so maybe it had some kind of pepper extract. I was wrong, as it's cinnamon. That's cool I guess, but why call it Fire then? I'm not big on cinnamon (and really I'm not a Pepsi guy to begin with), so I didn't really like it. I didn't waste it, though; I drank it anyway. But I won't be getting any more.

      I agree. It sounds like gimmick city. I wish it was hot peppers, lol. Maybe a flavor in Japon. :P

      @Fluttershy Friend 4. :maud:

      @Stormfury Yeah, I was hoping for Cayenne Pepper flavored Pepsi (it's not super spicy, but moderate, and tbh it's the best tasting pepper of most hot sauces I've tried). Lmao, Japan has all the weirdest stuff:

      I would LOVE to try sweet potato Kit-Kats!

  13. My parents and I are taking a little road trip today. We're going see the American Pickers shop (Antique Archaeology) in Saint Claire, Iowa. :)

      Sounds very intersting (at least for me). Are you going to buy something or rather only see?

    3. Miles

      We just went to sight see, but I did get a T-shirt there. We went to a plethora of other little shops in the town, too, not just the Pickers shop. It was fun. Though it's quite uncomfortable trying to cram 3 adults into an '89 Camaro for an approximately 300 mile round-trip. It's our "Show Car" that doesn't get driven much, so we decided to take it on the trip since it's mid-summer. I had just changed the oil in it yesterday, too (which is a pain since the car is so damn low to the ground, and that makes getting it high enough with a jack stand to crawl underneath pretty difficult).

      Lmao, but that's what makes him so awesome. You think of him (or even hear him in your head) when you see a car he reviewed. 

      Anywho, have you listened to Mr. Regular's intern yet? He's got an intern now. The intern's first video is actually pretty fucking amazing, and he is able to step into the RCR attitude without sounding like he's attempting to completely copy cat Mr. Regular - of course, it is still similar, but considering Roman writes most of the scripts anyway, and that it was [the intern] Ben's first time, he did spectacularly!

      I think Ben did a really good job. I think that if he makes his own sort of persona that isn't a blatant copy of Mr. Regular, he'll be a welcome addition to the channel.

    4. Miles

      Miles

      As I said before, the reason it may seem like he's a bit of a copy cat is because 1. Roman writes most of the scripts, 2. Ben is new, and 3. RCR's attitude in general (or Mr. Regular's attitude in general) has created expectations inside their fan-base. Before Ben can create his own persona he has to start somewhere. It's only logical that Roman would write Ben a script in the same way he would for Mr. Regular for Ben's first video.

      The only problem in his review video (the Scion TC video I linked above) I found was this:

      At 3:36 he says "Mazda 2" - but at 3:38 he doesn't say "Subaru BRZ" or "Toyota FRS" - What gives"? 

      Other people (in the comments) did have at least one nitpick worthy of merit, though. He didn't mention that the tC can come with a supercharger.
