Tiger trap?
Excellent idea.
Must be because I'm a friggin' magician, baby!
You screwed boynextdoor00 behind your husband's back...
...if you'd be so kind: in that statement, can you point out any "presumptions" at all?
And I'm sure boynextdoor00 convinced you what a really sweet piece of meat...I mean, lady you were...
...until he dropped you after he was all done with you, of course.
Poor widdle victim of mean ol eyer...
...and yet, still believes that any adult fucking around online with a 14-year-old is ok.
How old are your kids, "Sunshine"...
...and have you shared with them how proud of an adulterer you are and that it's ok if they screw around online with adults?
I saw in the promo that there's horses...
Unfortunately horses were cool in Skyrim...sorta. If you do crafting you can't gather.
Not sure if there's a crafting system.
It looks a lot like Skyrim now...
I just replayed Mass Effect 1, which is kind of miserable, but the fact that you play game to game to game made a difference.
Does anybody know if you restore your game from the first to the second to the third, or is it just a regular setup and a standalone?
I don't know, but let's just say I am not excited for Witcher 3. I did finally get Grand Theft Auto 5. While the graphics are very nice, it is still the same formula. Oh, and fewer missions. Although take longer to complete. That, and the story line is cheesy. I suppose that is by design.
I could never get much into GTA.
I don't know why I'm happy killing people and taking their stuff but not with stealing their cars.
I tend toward the roleplaying stuff where I can either save or destroy everything. Maybe the writing in GTA doesn't get my attention. I need story.
My fallback tend to be old strategy sims, stuff like Alpha Centauri and the earlier Civilization games. The later ones eat up too much time, I don't want to wait 5 minutes waiting for my opponents to catch up.
Grand strategy is most excellent. Paradox has a slew of nice titles. I cannot wait for Hearts of Iron 4. Endless Legend had me reeling for days.
Oooh. Tell me about those. Paradox is the developer?
Yes. https://www.paradoxplaza.com/games
They recently released Pillars of Eternity which plays a lot like Baulder's Gate 2. Cities Skylines which addressed the shortfalls of SimCity and Cities XXL. The former is fantastic and can see you enjoying that a lot.
I certainly do not believe it is ok for my children to screw around online with adults. What I said about recidiva's situation,and her situation only, is that if he was 16, that is very close to 18. I did not make any statements about it being ok for adults to mess around with kids. A 16 year old is not a child. That is my point pittles.
You had me at Baldur's Gate.
Just replayed them.
Butt kicking for goodness!
I have a thing for Boo the Space hamster. Bioware did Baldur's gate so they put a hamster on Commander Shepard's cabin in Mass Effect.
It's a miniature giant space hamster!
Recidiva is a Sex Offender because, as an adult in her 20s, she intentionally and knowingly maintained an online BDSM/sexual relationship with a 14-year-old...
...here it is again for someone who obviously, conveniently chooses to ignore facts:
Recidiva's Sexual Offense Upon a Minor
Is that "ok" with you or not?
Of course I spelled Baldur's incorrectly, heh. I never heard of that hamster game, but I love hamsters. Oh, and I am not sure if Paradox titles are available for consoles.
Pitts, I'm not here to judge Recidiva. You've got that covered for all of us.
Your statements and judgments about the events that took place with Recidiva and her online friend made me reflect on my first boyfriend being three years older, 18, and me being 14 when we met, and 15 when we became sexually active. He was not a sex offender. Not everyone who has sex with someone younger than 18 is a sex offender. That was my point.
Pitts, I'm not here to judge Recidiva.
.....I get off sexually messing around with 14-year-olds online. Here's my story:
Recidiva's Minor Affair
Eyer, I don't read your stuff, but...
...I want to thank you for all the kind people you've introduced me to by being such an ugly piece of work.
Keep it up, man, you're making me feel loved.
I'll have to check. Maybe Steam.
The hamster thing was a running joke. One of the companions in Baldur's was a crazy guy named Minsc, and he had a hamster that he insisted was a miniature space hamster.
So since Bioware does tons of games, they put in Easter eggs from their other games, Baldur's Gate, Jade Empire, Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age...all of which I've played.
So the running joke by Mass Effect was the hamster, that you kept in your cabin.
Minsc in Baldur's gate would yell "GO FOR THE EYES, BOO!" in his party banter.
So you bought a hamster in Mass Effect 2 and restored that game in Mass Effect 3, and then rescue your hamster from Engineering, you could have this little Easter Egg. Your ship is taken over once, so your hamster is in danger and you tell him to go for the eyes if he's in trouble.
Anyway, Space Hamster, video of about a minute.

One of your companions has a drone that she tells to go for the optics.
And for the final boss of ME2...you have to go for the eyes. Very cool boss fight. Higher difficulty levels of this game were really...damned...hard. Lots of dying, lots of "really? dead in seconds? REALLY?!"

Games that are silly between killing things. Those are my favorite ones.
Witcher doesn't look all that silly, but I could be wrong.
Oh. I did not realize the hamster was an easter egg. I may have to fire up ME3. I got it in a sale bundle a while ago, but never played it. I'll have to try that out now.
Maybe Witcher 3 will be awesome. Lots of buzz and anticipation is surrounding it. I'll wait for Youtube let's plays before considering buying it. I am very glad for Youtube when making game buying decisions. For instance, I was seriously considering Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, because it had ninjas in it. I like ninja games. On seeing some of the gameplay, it was a huge disappointment. Saved me $30!
Mass Effect 3 is horrible/awesome. It's probably now my favorite game but it made me cry for about a month, in between laughing, so look out.
I played it through about 5 times straight, went back, fixed things, fucked up again, killed all my favorite people, killed them again, fucked up, cried. Eventually I got my perfect run through on the hardest difficulty and I felt I could stop crying. Still crying, you can't actually save everyone.
So I'd get someone killed in game 2 and then save them the next time and see them die in 3 and...shit, man. They should have just died in 2, that was fucked up! Don't do that! I love that guy! Now it's worse! That's worse!
Mass Effect 2 is spent building up loyalty of your companions, and those companions (well...if they're alive, it's possible to let everyone...EVERYONE...die) keep those relationships to Mass Effect 3. My favorite romance (Garrus - alien - I didn't go for the hot human, give me a snarky alien every time) doesn't even happen in 3 if you didn't play it in 2. Now when I play, I can't actually NOT romance Garrus. I recommend you play a female and romance Garrus.
One of my favorites - Zaeed (Voice actor Robin Sachs, who just died in 2013...he was in everything from Buffy to Dragon Age to Galaxy Quest) and Garrus (Brandon Keener) unable to relax at a party and deciding to booby trap Shepard's apartment.

"One man's decorative glass wall fixture is another man's explosive glass wall fixture."
I played 1 and 2 because they do piggyback. You restore 1 -> 2 -> 3 and it makes enough of a difference that Ulaven just used my save games because I managed to keep everyone alive through 2. Not...easy.
It's got some pretty good multiplayer PVP going too.
Anyway, if you're going to play 3, get the Genesis DLC and the Citadel DLC. Genesis will let you set up a game with choices, without having a save game. The Citadel DLC is mostly you hanging out with your dorky friends, so that hamster bit is from there. Lots of fun.
Leviathan as DLC is okay. It's fun but it isn't absolutely necessary.
Omega as DLC - eh. You can skip it. I played it but only once.
Ninja Gaiden the original was a ridiculously hard game, did they make it any easier?
I only played the older titles. There was an arcade beat-em-up style game which was a quarter muncher. Then I played the hell out of Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 on the NES. As far as I know, they did not make it any easier. I do know they made Devil May Cry easier. That was insane.
I'll look into the DLC's for sure. They should be very cheap now.
We used to go to the arcades, stuff like Shinobi. They always seemed similar.
Ghosts and Goblins too.
My husband played those, I always played Tetris or Klax.
I've heard that Dark Souls is the hardest game, and it looks absolutely like...I'm not going to do that. I'll only beat games on their highest difficulty because I want the achievement and I'm proving my devotion, and I don't want to stop playing just yet.
I have Dark Souls, and you are very correct. That game made me rage. I could not get past he second boss.
