  1. Abstract

    mega thread Metal Thread

    It's been a very "classic" In Flames day.
  2. I was always the weird, isolated kid, and my last name sounds ridiculously close to "sausage". Those were some fun elementary school years. But, I had a group of friends once upon a time in which we will gave nicknames to each other. The one picked out for me was none other than my username. I always have liked it, and though those friends and I aren't very close anymore, I've stuck with it.
  3. The correct answer is, yes, they are damn sexy. End of discussion.
  4. Gee, now if only Nintendo made an effort to advertise the graphical capabilities of the Wii U, perhaps the masses would turn their attention over to it for more than half a second. Technical capability is far from everything that makes a great game system, but it's never a bad attribute to have; due to Nintendo's reputation for lacking in this area the past couple consoles they've released, I would think they would want to capitalize on it now that they apparently have the edge.
  5. Russia may not be at the forefront of tolerance and open-mindedness, but they're certainly a number of levels above MANY other countries.
  6. It would depend on a number of things, but remember - the MLP fandom is only as large as it is because of the somewhat different approach taken to the TV series. If other franchises don't have this, I don't see myself or too many other people becoming fans.
  7. ...Yes. That's the fun part. No, the basis of the game hasn't changed very much - I just feel there's been too much added to it that it distracts from the main mechanics too much. Put it this way: I feel that Pokemon always has been a very simple game, and that's one of its best qualities. All these bells and whistles are just clutter and get in the way.
  8. My favorite series? Legend of Zelda, no question. But, for favorite game overall? Nothing has captured my interest and provided so much entertainment like the original Paper Mario for N64 has.
  9. ...Man, I'm way more casual about Pokemon than I thought after taking a look at this thread. I got Pokemon X for Christmas, finally tore into it a few weeks ago... Personally, I really don't like/have a use for a lot of these new features and whatnot. I don't really care to do this online trading/battles/friends whatever that is all about. Am I the only one who feels items are WAY too easy to acquire? It seems like every route has at least 5 or 6 not so very will hidden on them, and every other person you talk to in towns gives you one thing or another... I have too much crap I'm not going to use. Honestly, I'm not very far into the game as of yet (Just suffered my first loss against the 2nd gym leader) but already it feels like they've tried to add too much to the core basics of the game, and I really hope they don't try and add more next generation around or it might not even feel like Pokemon anymore.
  10. Loving watching Manning choke, it's priceless.
  11. I got this around a year ago, and I may have one more MLP design in the future. (This picture was taken when it was brand new.)
  12. Instead of the Wii U, Nintendo could have taken SNES internals, put them in a slightly different case, called it the Super-Duper[b/] Nintendo Entertainment System, and it would still be an 8th generation system, because it was the successor to the 7th. The technology doesn't matter; the only things required to label a Wii U an 8th generation console, is that a generation had to have come before it, (Wii, 360 and PS3) and the competing games consoles must label themselves as of the same iteration. (Pretty sure nobody classifies the PS4 and One as anything but.)
  13. I've never understood why the original PlayStation was so successful. It had some great games, sure, but I don't know of any that couldn't have been done just as well on the N64 or Saturn; why did Sony get those titles? I feel like the only explanation is that Sega dropped the ball so hard with the Saturn, that Sony basically just swooped in better prepared and took their place. The 360 fanatics never really quite made sense to me either.
  14. Not a chance in hell; Nintendo has this shit figured out. Admit it: Nintendo consoles are worth the cost just for the first-party titles alone. Granted, the other side of the equation unfortunately means that they receive fewer exclusive third party games than Microsoft or Sony, but there's always at least a gem or two per console iteration. And like I said, these are just the icing on the cake that is the Nintendo portfolio of franchises. They aren't leaving us anytime soon, to be certain.
  15. For someone who usually doesn't care for anything Apple family related, I must admit that this was actually half-decent; the humor was good, the story and plot points were fairly solid, and it had a very nice lesson attached to all of it. Strangely though, I really don't care for the song. Most MLP music is gold, but this one just doesn't strike me as such.
  16. Tried and failed to understand the slenderman thing a while back... just don't get it. Nevertheless, for those of whom this is a special occasion... yay?
  17. The forums seem to be playing peek-a-boo.

      Its playing chicken with the server

  18. I see a Season 5, and probably 6 as well, but not really anything beyond that. If it proves to remain popular, it may go on longer, but at that point I think the quality will most definitely have dipped by that time, and it certainly wouldn't go beyond 8 seasons or so.
  19. The one I probably exhibit the most would be "sloth". The others, I really don't have big issues with.
  20. I'm gonna be really, really disappointed if I make it past 60 as it is. 100+? Ha, no thanks.
  21. Childhood? Nah, I wasn't allowed to play those games until mid-teenagerdom. That said, a friend with his copy of GTA III, and my subsequent copy of San Andreas occupied me for much of that era.
  22. Meh, I don't usually have a massive craving for sweets, so it isn't too terrible. But yeah, the injections are a pain; I have no aversion to needles, but I am a bit of a wuss when it comes to pain, and sticking yourself does hurt a fair bit. And actually, now that I mention it, I suppose I oughta add myopia (nearsightedness) to the list of things I am diagnosed with. Its actually a side-effect of my diabetes (the time I went with it undiagnosed ruined my eyes a bit) that I have to wear glasses for, though.
  23. I've been told by a doctor or two I "probably" have aspergers, but no true diagnosis to speak of; never actually went through the hoops to get it done. But, I am definitely type 1 diabetic; I actually was diagnosed fairly late, at age 17. Insulin injections, pills and the lot. Not gonna lie, it sucks pretty hard haha.
