Repost your first Escapist post!

[ThatLankyBastard]

Hmm... I wonder what it could be...

Lets see... Songs that make me happy...

Two Weeks- All That Remains
Heron Blue- Sun Kil Moon
Snuff- Slipknot
and Kill Rock 'n' Roll- System of a Down...

Strange playlist, but Im a strange person and these all make me happy...

Wow... I don't like any of those songs anymore!

Lies you were told as a child:

I think my favourite was my father telling me that a certain button in the car was the ejector-seat in case of emergency. Then he stopped the car, hovered his finger over the button, and told me to cover my head for when I blast through the roof. I braced up, clenched my little teeth, and watched in embarrassment when he pressed the button and the car's window moved up a fraction.

That fuck, I forgot how bad he was.

"Most hated type of fan"

Spoiler: It's kind of long.

I've never entirely liked any kind of obsessive fan. Although they may still be a perfectly reasonable person in all other ways, their obsession always annoys me to no end.

First of all: Yaoi fangirls and Yuri fanboys. See those two that are in completely heterosexual relationships? They're not gay. I don't have anything against those who happen to be homosexual, it's just the blatant disregard for the established facts that gets to me.

B: Fan Fiction writers. Do you have a good idea for a story? Then go write it. I don't care, as long as it uses proper grammar, with the exception of certain characters' particular idiosyncrasies. However, it's taking it a bit far to write established characters' personalities totally differently. Self insertion I can handle, too, as long as it's just a cameo or small role, but Mary Sues are going too far. Just cause you like him doesn't mean he's gonna dump his old girlfriend in a garbage disposal and change his outlook on life just to praise you all day. Kind of ties in with the above.

3: Haters. The ignorant and intolerant people who hate something and the people who like it and never did the research into it. For example, I play Team Fortress 2 a lot. I like it for its bright colors. I don't really like Modern Warfare 2 very much, though. It's too gritty. I don't, however, hate the people who play it a lot. It's the game that I don't like, not the fans of it! I try to stay as informed and as neutral as possible when describing why I don't like a certain game. I list the things that I like, and those that I don't. I can't STAND the people that take everything against their game like a death threat against themselves, their family and their pet dog and reply with the statement: "no ur gay".

It's the disregard and willing ignorance that gets to me. Anyways, I should probably stop here. I'm starting to rant.

As Darth Vader said, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Haha, I was upset about Mass Effect 3 being Kinect enabled.

I have several WTF moments in Skyrim. First one is the time where I was chasing after a dragon only to find that it had been killed by bears who then proceeded to kill me. Then there was the time I was fighting a dragon and had gotten it down to what must have been one HP and was about to kill it when it all of a sudden chomped down on me and threw me fifty feet. However, my favorite has to be what happened yesterday. I was running to my house in Whiterun when I look up and see that the wall around the main gate had disappeared. I then proceed to leave Whiterun without technically leaving it and start running around. after a little bit I hit a point where I'm still running around but the ground around me disappears as I get close to it. After about ten minutes I spot a dragon about three miles away from Whiterun and go after it. While I still have to listen to the laws of physics, it is able to fly through the ground all around me until I get it's health down to a certain point where it then starts flying in small circle a certain distance away from me which it maintains no matter how close I try to get to it and also continues to do so even after I get rid of all its health. It doesn't actually die until I manage to lead it back to Whiterun where it lands and just falls over. All in all I've got to say it's one of the greatest thirty minute periods I've spent on Skyrim so far.

The thread was Great WTF moments in Skyrim and it's what finally got me to create an account on the Escapist.

Poll: What hurts more: kicked in the balls or giving birth?

Posted: 20 April 2011 6:37 pm

My Response:
Well I haven't been kicked in the balls hard but think of it this way. When was the last time a guy asked for a kick in the balls? Does a woman ask to have another baby?


(present day)
Seriously though probably giving birth...

 

[CarlsonAndPeeters]

definitely prince of persia.
it was trying to be shadow of the colossus and was failing like a fat kid trying to ride a unicycle.

The topic was about games with awful endings. The ending of 2008's Prince of Persia was just...terrible. And the game wasn't good to begin with (though it was certainly pretty), so it just went from bad to worse.

This whole thing comes to the classic, "Why is there never an 'In Order' sign?" thing combined with the internet.
Its like mashed potatoes and the Adkins diet. No one actually appreciates the quality of my good, homeade mashed 'taters, but bring in the whole Carb-counting thing and BAM! All potatoes are considered hellspawn, and my good, wholesome staple, (that should be limited in one's diet like any starchy food) becomes the target of all sorts of trash-talk.
At least with Yahtzee, he actually does acknowledge when food, er... a game is good.

Still making analogies about food and art history, years later...
I was hoping that I had changed more! ;-;

Wait....

Some thread about our favorite weapons in video games:

"My faves:
Gravity Gun
BFG
Any type of shotgun"

 

[LetalisK]

This is in reference to an R&P thread about how a group of students were told they couldn't wear their American flag t-shirts on Cinco De Mayo because it was upsetting a group of Mexican students who had wore their Mexican flag t-shirts on the same day.

I don't see how that shirt is offensive since I don't draw the conclusion that bring proud of being an American and being proud of one's Hispanic heritage are mutually exclusive and diametrically opposed.

No surprise, but I didn't think it was the first topic I ever commented on.

Subbed, I simply can't stand most voice overs, besides there's sometimes miss-syncing and that kind of stuff.. I just prefer subs.

A post about what you prefer, subbing or dubbing in anime. This is actually fun.

Thread: Things to look forward to [in] 2012 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.337809-Poll-Things-to-look-forward-in-2012].

> Mass Effect 3 (of course).
> Assassin's Creed 3 (sometime later this year).
> Despite the fact I'm not much of a movie person, the idea of a Phoenix Wright movie seems appealing.
> December twenty-second.
> Might as well add Ponies to the list.
> Many more weeks of Yahtzee.

Ah, a simple bullet-list.
I only joined a few weeks ago, so there's likely to be no noticeable change in my outlook, demeanor, or behavior.

Ah good, i was hoping someone would make this thread, just so i could show off my unbelievable wit and comical talent that truly raises me above that of normal people.

Of course they do, just like us Brits who ride pigeons and our Welsh friends who ride sheep...wait no! Not like that!!!

Yes, that's right.
I started my Escapism with some casual racism against the Welsh.
I have fucking class.

I Bought it for PC, I bought it cuz i was in a game drought and i wanted to see what the hype was about. Then i found out my computer needed a Dual-Core Proccessor... So i bought one about two or three weeks later but didnt install it until probably the fifth or sixth week...By then i was back into WoW after a year long break and playing Catacalysm. Once i got it installed i played Campaign and it was a bit interesting. After a while, though, i was wondering when the game ends, and after i beat the game i felt like there wasnt enough! I went back to WoW without going to multiplayer...

This was pretty much Exactly one year ago, it was a Poll asking if you played CoD Black Ops. In my opinion, it was a waste of $60, but it at least prompted me to buy a dual core processor.

a girl called me a "chinchilla"

i walked away scratching my head how is that an insult {its no complement but is still not an insult}

the strangest insult i was ever called

It would sell better if it had a better launch title selection. Even playing DS games on it is a pain because the upscaling emulation is blurry with faded colors and the basic resolution is half the already small screen. I liked my XL better to be honest; decent battery with ALL of the features and a screen I didn't need to squint at with a magnifying glass. God I hope this doesn't go the way of the GBA Micro. I liked that little system, the high resolution screen was good but it had nothing else going for it besides extreme portability. Anyhow, give it some time to gets it's big three on (Metroid,Mario,Zelda) then it will be worth it, I hope.

There it is.

I don't think I've played a game older than me since I was a kid. It was probably Duck Hunt / Super Mario Brothers on the NES in the mid 90's though.

The laughing dog still haunts my dreams...

Used to play it multiplayer with my little brother, would cheat by getting a second controller and making the birds fly erratically while he tried to shoot. It's probably for that reason that he never really got into games... actually feeling a little guilty now.

Edit: Only took me four years to make my first post!

In the topic 'Last game you played that's older than you are.'

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

5 maps for 10 quid - yeah 2 of them are old maps but not everyone out there will have the original. Personally I reckon 2 quid a map isn't all that extortionate - can't even buy a pint for 2 quid anymore in the nanny-state that is the U.K.

In closing: I've bought it, and it's entertaining.

My first post was in defence of the first MW2 map pack. Well that was an auspicious start to life on these forums... /sarcasm

And I still maintain that it's better to spend £2 on a map you'll be playing for months than a beverage that's gone in a few gulps. Gaming may seem expensive to some people, but try comparing it to real world prices. £30 a year for XBL membership seems excessive until you lay it alongside the £25 a month cost of unlimited broadband, for example.

Y'know what, I'm not even gonna get started on this one again.

The thread was for posting any epic quotes that sprang to mind. Mine was from V for Vendetta, still one of my all time favorite movies. Still critically underrated IMO. Ah, well great quote all the same.
