I have a feeling that it's at my brother's house, cos I remember giving my niece all my Harry Potter games (DAMMIT PAST JAY, YOU'RE SO STUPID). I probably won't bother chasing it up anyway; the PS2 can play PS1 games, and that's good enough for me.

I felt the same way now because I gave away my original yugioh collection. Also the reason why I have a PS1 Memory card is for that same reason. After all TR 1 - 5 are PS1 games.

In terms of fave series-es: Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, Tony Hawks Pro Skater (Only the first 4 games), and WWE.

Tomb Raider is unfortunately one of those games where my brain just doesn't want it.

I understand. Not every game is made for everyone. If I have to talk about a game I dislike it's Call of Duty. FPS isn't my cup of tea. Also they've done the solider idea to death in that series already. I'm more of a Kiritou if you know what I mean. The only time I'm good with guns is in Tomb Raider and Star Wars Battlefront.

I'll probably wind up getting addicted to Tomb Raider at some point, cos I tend to go through phases with my gaming. Like earlier this year, I decided to play Runescape again even though I hadn't touched it since 2008. Same with racing or soccer games; I usually can't stand them, but if I'm bored I'll just shove one in the disc tray and play nothing but that for a few days.

Call of Duty was one of those games where I kicked ass at, but my love for it sort of faded over time. It was great fun to play, but only with a group of friends that actually worked as a team.

Kewl though that's kind of an odd behavior. Though I am the same way with music. One week I'll listen to We Can't Stop, the next it's Right Back At it Again. Racing games is the ultimate time killer as well as Football games. Though the only football game there is, is just like Call of Duty. And that is rehashing the same idea with new graphics. Come on FIFA. Lets have some decapitated Alien heads on a Football feild , while they attack and the only way to save the world is to play a Football match ALREADY!!! And if you make more goals than the alien race, they spontaneously die. XD

Game developers really need to start putting in cheat codes again. If a boxing game had a bobble head mode, that'd be awesome.

I think one of the best cheats ever is in Medal of Honor: Frontline. If you get bored of the standard military helmets, you can give people funny hats. Not just any old hats though; these guys will wear trucks, windmill blades, barrels, eggs...

^It's why GTA:SA is one of my fave games. Cuz you can literally do anything in San Andreas. Want to the cops to stop chasing you, *cheat* wanna dress like urahara from bleach but can't afford it and the hat is in another state, cheat. I love it. Oh and a bobble head boxing game would be cool.

 

Also that video was funny as hell.  Was that guy holding a helicopter???

Google Chrome spellcheck is saying that those words are misspelled. Cliché and café.

 

Why does English have to be so unfriendly to all of the diacritical marks except for possibly the accented É?

 

Also, how is that a cliché?

I had such a bad day yesterday.. I hope today looks up, have an appointment too though.

 

-sigh- I need to change stuff, but I dunno how. Life is so tiring, and life doesn't like me...

I'm aware of the accents on these words, but Chrome prefers it without.

My spellcheck must be different from your spellcheck, then... I get that a lot, apparently.

I'm gonna have to rewrite a bunch of code later today, but the code I'm going for is better than the other alternative.

I'm a UK guy, but I prefer color to colour. Or stabilize to stabilise. Just makes more sense to me.

We're kinda backwards, then...

But but how would the word colour look and sound fancy without the U?

I used to only use Firefox... And then came the update that made it look like crap.

I used to Internet Explorer. Absolute torment, especially if all you've been using is the IE that didn't even have tabs on your home computer but the school computers did have the one with tabs.

The computers at my university use IE. Probably because it's easier to control on a mass scale. I wouldn't know though; I'm not a techy.

Speaking of which, how the heck did I do internet stuff before tabs? That must've been boring.

The computers I see have IE, Chrome, and Firefox, probably to appease everyone at once.

 

Also, don't try to Internet if you can't use tabs. Or are restricted to 128MB RAM. Trush me, it's torture.

I actually installed Windows XP on an old computer last year, and the tabless IE was included.

It holds so much nostalgia, but I can't stand it now.

The only thing I miss about XP is the ability to have animated GIFs as wallpaper.

I just don't like it when people go around saying one thing is superior to another.

But, blue is a superior color to red and everyone knows its true. D:

I haven't a problem with colours, just only if there's more than 3-6 in use at a time or the combination makes no sense.

 

This is why black and white are among my favourite colours, because they complement all the other colours.
