Gamer Thread

I'll consider telling you if you tell me what I said that was so awesome.

Oh and make some more sprites, they greatly amuse me.
 
I don't either, but I'm not working or anything today, so I'm watching my little brother who has the strep and he loves that shit, and he has demon chickens!! http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/ItNQv_XRf3E/mqdefault.jpg
Every time I watch him play this game I wonder why I quit playing. Then I start playing and it won't hold my interest.
 
How do people like watching other people play video games? Like LetsPlays and shit. I'm sitting here watching this kid play and I have to be doing something else, occasionally looking up to respond to him. Because it's boring as fuck. I've always been like that. I'm a "backseat gamer". I get asked to leave the room. I don't understand the appeal of watching someone else play.

I think that also might be part of the reason that I've never liked professional sports. It's like... we're watching basketball. We could be playing basketball. I mean, I suck at it, but at least it's something to do.
 
It depends on the game and the person. I basically watch my brother play Silent Hill or more accurately we tag team the game so we can get through it in just a couple of days with one of us eating or cooking while the other one plays. It just gets through the game faster and those are really more movie/stories and less games anyway. Also when you get to the odd boss that's a challenge it's really nice to have a set of eyes watching the game that aren't busy trying to stay alive to notice the various tells.

I've also sat through a few random Let's Plays from guys who just make it fun to watch with good commentary. Or on occasion when I'm just really frustrated with a game because I can figure out how the fuck to get something especially in the Batman games where sometimes reading the instructions for how to beat a given puzzle just ain't ain't cutting it because you desperately need to see it being done to get the timing right or something.

Still it's not for everybody.

I never thought of using Let'sPlay's for that. I coulda used that shit back with the first Prince of Persia. That fucking statue puzzle. I rarely look up walkthroughs, but I had been on it for like a day and a half and my roommate was sick of watching me to the point that HE looked up a walkthrough, but I had, by that point, fucked the statues up and didn't remember their starting positions so it did jack shit. We looked up like 4 different solutions, none of which worked, and I wound up just fucking around with it until I somehow magically got it to work. I could never explain it to someone else.

Also, next up on Candi's time wasting retro theme: the original Rune Factory Harvest Moon. I like those games because I can spend all day at work playing them and think that it's been like an hour. Which brings up the classic Harvest Moon dilemma... who should I fuck? I literally just started it so I haven't met eyepatch chick yet. She looks kinda badass... I married Melody on the console, so I wanna go with somebody else on the handheld. Even though Melody does have that whole... mage... pigtails... miniskirt... thigh high boots... thing.

Sharon looks baked off her ass in the games. Makes me kinda lean towards her but she hates literally everything that I can get at this point, which is just flowers and herbs and I shit I find laying around. She probably likes jewels or something else super expensive.

Fuck em all like a playa?
 
Mostly cod: bo2 on ps3

I kinda got out of COD when I got into Battlefield. I'm not sure why. I think that quite a few people did that. There's the two camps of fps now. Might be because I don't have a PS3 tho. I have issues with PSN where my internet is so super shitty. There's no excuse for my internet to be as shitty as it is. I pay twice what I did in Lex. But I can't fucking play a FPS because I lag out and it pisses me off. And if the gf is watching a movie or something; I just give up. You can't do two things at once on our internet. I feel like maybe I should complain...
 
Bianca.

Also get to work peon, lickspittle, toadie! I like toadie.

I drew a cute witch, but I didn't scan her because I was hanging out with my brother, so... I'll do that tonight. I actually like the way my style looks pixelated much better than how it looks with normal digital color. Because I suck at normal digital color. I still blame my professor for that. Bald ass pot head.

Edit: Bianca hates everything and calls me a peasant and also said I smelled bad. Bitch.
 
Sounds Like Bianca is the kind of woman you need to get with.

Thank you for the witch, now I want a Luchadore! With a purple mask and he should point on finger into the air because he's about to jump off something because he's a luchadore and they are always about to jump off something! C'mon at the rate you work like a little mule we can easily get to twenty sprites by years end!

What fucking game are you making with Witches and Mexican wrestlers?
 
I'll know when I get there. That's just how I roll.

Besides you need practice and you won't get it if you keep doing the same thing you need to stretch your wings. . .I'll get back to wings later right now I want a luchadore!

Maybe the wrestler needs wings.

For the record, that sounds awesome.

Look! We got the squirrel vote!! Do you know how fickle those bitches are? This is a good sign. Can hot topless army guy be in the game? I worked hard on him.
 
We'll see. I think he'll look really strange next to your other sprites though.

And no luchadores don't need wings! I'll think of something with wings soon enough once you've started work on this one.

I'm not big on sports games unless they're extreme. I can totally get down with NBA Jam, NHL Hitz, NFL Blitz and MLB. . .I forgot that one as well as anything that has Mario deciding that it's not cheating to throw fireballs instead of balls at people. Otherwise I only politely put up with them when someone else insists much like me and FPSs in general though I've been known to get down with a zombie or dinosaur hunt from time to time.
