I ha a bit of panic at the end because the controller vibrated and I thought I'd been hit D: Edit: and it makes it so exciting, my heart was pounding at like 4 points in the boss. I rarely get that kind of ***in video games. Asura.Vienner

Its international women's day today. I wonder what the use is in 2017, so little has changed. Being a feminist still is a dirty word. Most women still earn less then men for the same job. Women still are seen as second rate people in more then half of the world. And google still doesnt want to see my nipples.
For what its worth Im glad I live in a liberal minded country. Leaving my bra at home today. Asura.Vienner said: » The old man and the sea is the story of a fight between an elderly, accomplished fisherman, Santiago, and a really big fish. Like... HUGE. The story opens with Santiago suffering eighty four days without catching a fish because he's the unluckiest son of a *** on planet earth. Honestly, if you were in a boat for eighty four days, it'd be hard NOT to catch a fish...even by accident. Santiago was so unlucky that his apprentice, Manolin, was forbidden by his Ma and Pa to fish with him. But as the Fresh Prince used to say, "Parents just don't understand". So the boy visits Santiago's shack anyway, ignoring the inherent risks of unsupervised playtime with an elderly man who talks to himself. Manolin helps out, moving Santiago's fishing gear, making food, and talking about baseball. Especially Joe DiMaggio, who used to bump fuzzies with Marilyn Monroe. The next day, Santiago tells Manolin that he's going way out into the gulf Stream. WAY OUT north of Cuba. Lady Luck is returning. On the eighty-fifth day of his crappy lunch, Santiago drops his lines and by noon, gets a bite from what feels like a big-*** fish. He's sure he's a winner. He fights and fights and fights and fights but can't pull the monster in. Santiago's leaky old boat is pulled by the fish for two days and nights as he holds on for dear life. Even though he's bloody and beat, Santiago begins to appreciate this mighty adversary. He starts calling him "Brother" or maybe even "Bro". It's sort of a love story if you really think about it. And like most romantic comedies, the reader pictures a delightful outfit changing montage, followed by the inevitable interspecies wedding. But on the third day, Santiago is freakin' EXHAUSTED, and decides he just wants the fish to do what he says and not always swim wherever it wants. So he stabs it. With a *** harpoon. It's a mess. Super gross. Blood everywhere. Because, like many men his age, Santiago has difficulty expressing his emotions and fears with words instead of giving in to base desires and imposing his gigantically terrible position on any given subject through unblinking violence. Typical. Anyway, he straps the marlin to the side of his skiff and hits the road home, read to act like a total show off to everyone and probably gouge people on the price. But guess what? Pretty soon sharks begin to attack the bleeding Marlin's carcass, because as we all know, life is a tragic opera and just when you think you've finally found something good and true, sharks come along and rip it all to *** shreds while dry-humping your dignity with their crazy-weird shark ***. Sure, Santiago tries killing a few of them, but drops his harpoon because his hands are just as old as he is. By nighttime, the sharks have pretty much eaten the entire marlin. Only a bleach-white skeleton remains, silently mocking him in the murky darkness. Santiago realizes he's still unlucky, REALLY unlucky (DUH!). Ma calls the sharks "dream killers". Which isn't really all that fair, I mean, the sharks were just doing their job and the marlin...jesus, don't even get me started on the marlin. It was just hanging out one day, minding it's own business, maybe thinking about ways it could be a better provider for it's family and WHAM! Harpoon in the brain. Who's the "Dream killer" now, ***! The hypocrisy is pretty much boundless at this point. Eventually Santiago makes it ashore. Leaving the bones of the marlin and the boat, he hobbles to his shack. He makes it home and crashes, like I said - He's super tired. The next morning, a group of fisherman gather around Santiago's boat. One measures the skeleton and, holy ***shingles! It's over 18 feet! The head of the fish is given to Pedrico (Strange that this is the first mention of him) and the other fishermen ask Manolin to send their glad tidings to the old man. Manolin brings Santiago newspapers and coffee when he wakes and they decide to fish together again. Many years later there's a Red Lobster restaurant in nearly every city in America offering a casual dining experience and convenient parking.
Same dude

Holy. ***... I have not had a game that was that much of an emotional roller coaster and draw in since... well... FFIX probably. Graphics, story, music, gameplay, customization, combat, challenge; This game is a true gem, and goes as far as to challenge your views and actions on the world and even pushes you to make sacrifices (I'll avoid delving into my meaning on that). Play it. Even if you have never played Nier or Drakengard before, seriously. Do it. Bismarck.Patrik said: » Asura.Ina said: » I'm expecting it to be a shorter game so gotta savoir it!

It's probably just the difficulty I'm playing on but I can't really call it hack and slash. Combos are simple but even against the weakest enemies when I wade into melee combat I need to be completely aware of my reach and where an attack will put me or I'm dead. On the easier difficulties I'm sure it could be hack and slashy to veterans of action type games but that's why difficulty settings exist.
I usually keep my expectations for games fairly low/middle of the road, but I was pretty hyped for this one. Somehow though it's managed to exceed what I was expecting though. Most games even when they are fun I find there is some amount of work mixed in with the play, this one has been pure fun. Offline

Those that can, play Action/RPG Games.
Those that can't, play Dork Souls! YouTube Video Placeholder FFXV offroading and PC version footage also lul >Nier Automata, developed by Platinum Games >Hack n' slash u wot Valefor.Prothescar said: » >Nier Automata, developed by Platinum Games >Hack n' slash u wot Bismarck.Josiahfk said: » There are a lot of people that might not get much enjoyment from hack and slash bullet-hell types I never played Nier, only watched a playthrough and I'm pretty familiar with the universe. I tried the Nier Automata demo the moment it came out and saw great promise for a nice story, cool environments, a great OST and an overall enjoyable ride. I won't be playing it anytime soon though; still not done with FFXV and I'm playing Tales of Berseria next. Star Ocean 3 Remaster Confirmed for PS4!
Squeeee! Favorite JRPG. Best combat system, stupid story, tons of content. Quote: Temporal Heavy Dreadnoughts are colossal starships designed to function as both a mobile starbase and a forward battle station. These ponderous behemoths are very slow to maneuver, but offer tremendous firepower, unparalleled durability, and the capability to launch combat support vessels. These starships have an Energy Distributor ability which boosts power levels of nearby allies and empowers the built-in Gravitic Lance. https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10423633 |
