I understood what you meant, I think I just imagined the "cobwebs and skeletons" metaphor a little too literally @_@

...I also maybe imagined you playing CoD and saying out loud "This game is about as shallow and soulless as the girl that Billy Johnson brought to prom instead of me!" as you sprayed bullets wildly and took out your pent-up aggressions on innocent civilians :oops:

To what SabbraCadabra said...

Ahhh, la la! I see now. Lol, my bad ^^; That's the thing with thise darn emojis, ppl use just one, and i'm like "ARGH WHATS IT MEAN!?"

Had a friend who often made an entire reply with just a ":p", aaand yeah. If I played Cod, those were "BWARGH ALL MUST DIEEE" moments where what you said u imagined i'd do, would be SPOT ON, lol xD But I'm a big wimp, so it'd be more along the lines of repeatedly whacking someone on the head with a bugnet, lol! I mean, my gameplay of ocarina of time was halted at the royal grave, cuz those zombies scared my proverbial PANTS OFF. UGH those creepy buggers!

Anyway, yeeah....tis true. Energetic...or as my folks would put it, "ornery." Sometimes Id wear odd stuff just to get odd looks, than glare when i DID and be, like "WHACHU LOOKIN AT FOO ILL POKE UR EYES OUT." Actually still do, I 'unno, lol, just like that xD

Now don't get me wrong, I was definitely giving you a weird look. A "wide-eyed raised eyebrow" sort of thing, or maybe my left eye is just much larger than my right?

I still call them "emoticons" because emojis creep me out and I refuse to use them.

I think you're confusing Call of Duty with Animal Crossing.

Ugh =( I just finished that part in the 3D remake not long ago. I forgot how incredibly annoying they are.

"Oops, I got too close. I guess I'll just wait a half a minute for you to quit hugging me. Or maybe I'll just let you kill me and I can stop playing this stupid game."

...or you can play the Prelude of Light on your ocarina to paralyze them all, which probably takes longer than just letting one or two of them grope you =|

Doesn't "ornery" mean more like "stubborn"?

I see you as one of those tiny girls who dresses up like Pikachu and chases everyone around at the anime convention.

I have some virtual console games on my 3DS like Super Mario World, Mario kart, Metroid, Super Mario Bros. series, Kirby Adventure, Zelda, etc. and Sonic Game Gear games and Ambassador games, and I still buy retro games but I don't really play any old game systems. I mostly play on my 3DS.

I play a lot of SNES RPGs these days, all on my phone. Next week I'm getting a big pile of PSP games I had a massive pile of them but stupidly sold them for peanuts. That's probably my favourite handheld, I might even get a 3ds though. Budget depending.

ok im too lazy (or distracted i unno) to do the whole quoting thing all fancy like and proper...so ima just quote it all in a big, nigh illegible lump xD

No, i am NOT the tiny pika ppl chaser at anime cons. I went to two, but as Filia ul Copt (from Slayers) and as Lilka from um...whatever Wild Arms it was, lol. 2nd Ignition? anyway, I LOVE cons, but im far more the person to sit back, observe and psychoanalyze EVERYONE. It amuses me so xD
Course if I see someone with a bad-ass costume, ill basically throw myself at their feet and ask em to make me their apprentice xD Goal of mine, pro seamstress..or however close i can get.

Never played the 3D remake. Moneys man, just aint rollin in it, lol. And yes, I see you caught that Animal Crossing reference. Was on purpose, lol xD

And ornery isnt *QUITE* stubborn (it CAN be, but thats not all) its more along the lines of the sort who garners ridiculous delight outta whacking villagers on the head with a bug net, gleefully giggles at shoving em in pitfalls...
Or STILL may sorta...kinda...have an ever so slight grudge against her cousin for caving and spoiling a prank where she had filled her mums lidded water bottle with frogs....

..whaat? Woulda been EPIC funny ;D

Fair enough.

I've been to a few conventions...I haven't had time the last couple years =| I dressed up for one of them. I feel like I should build one or two really good costumes and just use those every year, rather than have something different (and lower quality) every year. It's also really hot there though, so a lot of my ideas, while hilarious, are really impractical. I think Ness from Earthbound would be a perfect idea for me, but finding the right shirt and cap is a lot harder than one would think.

The great thing about having a job is that you can afford to buy videogames all the time, but you never have time to play them =) The remake is okay, but some of the graphics ghost really bad in 3D mode, and it's not nearly as nostalgic as the original...which I don't like all that much to begin with, if you couldn't tell... ¬_¬

Quote:

I couldn't think of very many other games with bug nets...some of the Zelda games have one, but you can't hit people with it.

Oh, I see. So you just really want everyone to hate you and move away ;)

=(

So you had a Sega "Genesis", but you say "mum"...I'm getting some mixed signals about your country of origin.

USA, I'm afraid.

I just like languages, and little language quirks and nuances. I pick up stuff here and there if I like it. Plus I get bored always using the same words.

You said, "Hot there."
Where is "there"? You got one con nearby in..a hot area? I went to one near Portland, OR. It was hot...I was hot (full long dress, long wig and cloak) and I had white gogo boots on.

I. CARED. NOT.

Was havin' too much of a blast xD

I'm dead practical all the rest of the year, so at cons I decide I can go a little bugnuts xD ...Ahem, 'nother little language nuance...means "reallly nuts. Courtesy of my woodsy folks. No not redneck, just outdoorsy rural. There IS a difference.

Btw, met lot of folks who didn't much like the old Zelda. Huh....Must be like one of those things where you're a die-hard fan...or you hate it o _-...I was semi-impartial. Was fun til' the groping zombies.

Btw x2, a Ness costume would rock :D Understated costumes can be really awesome. I love the challenge of mix and matching, and/or crafting pieces for a costume :D Need to get back into that...

Btw...x3! (lol) May seem I reply real...um, "narrowly," for lack of a better word. I only hv internet on a small screen, prepaid phn (also why trying to quote stuff is a royal pain in the rump) so, yeah...not excluding others, and if I seem like I'm disinterested in a thread as a whole, I'm not. Just that I basically have a very limited, sorta pinhole view, lol!

The convention is late June/early July, and often lands on the hottest day of the year.
One of my ideas was Kinnikuman, complete with luchadore mask and fake muscle suit...would be hilarious, but I would probably get heat stroke.

Well, I don't sweat, so I overheat very easily.

I love almost all of the Zelda games, but with OoT, Nintendo was just learning how to make 3D games, and IMO it really shows. Honestly, I guess no game in the series is really flawless, though.

Quote:

It would rock, plus it would be comfortable to wear, and I could wear it any day of the year. I've seen a few of them, and a couple Lucases. I don't think I've seen any Nintens or Clauses.

Maybe that would explain
why I see people post in
a manner similar to this,
from time to time, on
different forums.

I was a retro gamer back when it got you beaten up!! !

If there is one 'normal' interest I have always had and shared with my brother it's video games. Even with a PS4 I find I spend the vast majority of my time playing SNES. I just got a "highly legal" system that has virtually every SNES and NES game known to man.

Sega Saturn...Only had a few. Including the Japanese version of the Magic Knight Rayearth game...wish I had a good enuf puter to run SSF or Satourne full speed xP Whateva..

My computer's pretty decent, but Saturn emulation is still pretty bad. I finally gave in and bought myself a Saturn off eBay (and maybe a modchip).

Tomba is awesome, I need to play it some more.
I need to get around to playing the Grandia games, but I've been holding out in the hopes that someone will translate the original Saturn version =|

Again, too lame and lazy to quote everything...har!

I don't know what an everdrive is...Treasure huh? I hardly pay attention to that stuff (company names, etc...I never remember the actual names of actors/actoresses either, just their roles). I gotta google what other games they made tho, since Mischief Makers was so fun :D

And I 'unno, I just had it in my head that ppl thought the new Sonic games were dorky, kid's stuff, or tried too hard to be "cool". Whateva, u kno. Guess I can assume things, and you know what they say about "ass"uming things...lol

I lost all my retro games and systems in...well, a very bad situation. Recently re-added a wii back to my collection, tho :) Happy slappy! I had a PSX that had a...oh, don't remember the name...But it had a certain, wide port on the back. A certain older model.. I plugged a GoldFinger device into it to run my Japanese imports :) Lost that too T_T Oh well...Other than that, tho, I'm pretty much a techie fail, lol! Save for some computer emulation, which I just bumble thru best I can xD

There's an original version of Grandia for the Saturn O.O!? OOOOH IM ALL OVER THAT! And I don't need to wait til it's translated xD I know enough Japanese to read it myself! With a dictionary, granted...but HEY, woo! That's exciiiting!

And thanks, lol...Guess I "ass"umed again that since I don't play FPSs or war games, racing...u kno, etc...Guess I thought I'd be seen as a namby pamby wanna-be gamer, lol! I assume alot e.e Well, a friend DOES tease me that he's a real gamer compared to me. Guess I'm too sensitive \x) And I think he just likes teasing me cuz' he gets a kick out of it...TURD >:( ...Guess I'm kinda like that too, lol \xD

Sigh...there goes my curtain again...My cats protest if I "internet" too long. First they bug me, try knocking my phn outta my hands...Then it turns to biting, and if that doesnt work, then my curtains get pulled down and stuff starts crashing...-_-; Spoiled brats. K, I gotta tend to my kitties e.e

Everdrive is a line of flash carts for various consoles, made by a guy called KRIKzz from the Ukraine. I maybe have a few of them.

Treasure have made a ton of awesome games...the biggest ones are probably Gunstar Heroes (Genesis), Guardian Heroes (Saturn), and Ikaruga (Dreamcast).
I really liked Advance Guardian Heroes and Astro Boy on the GBA. There's also a spiritual sequel to Guardian Heroes on the 3DS called Code of Princess.

Nah, everybody loves the Adventure games. It's the games that came out afterwards that people don't like...well, the 3D ones, at least. They just weren't very good.

Bummer =(

If you softmod the Homebrew Channel onto your Wii, they have some really good emulators for it...but you didn't hear that from me... ¬_¬

Serial port. I have a Gameshark device like that which may or may not allow one to run backup discs... ¬_¬

I haven't purchased very many imports, I think I just have one or two for SNES.

O_O
Envy.
The Saturn version is supposed to have less bugs, better graphics, and a better framerate. I guess it's not really that huge of a tradeoff...I just feel kind of weird when I can play every game in a series on a Sega console (in English) except for ONE of them. Plus, my Saturn works a lot better than my Playstation.

Nah, I like a lot of the same games as you. I think most Americans just prefer, you know, American games. I've always preferred Japanese games, for the most part. On consoles, at least.

Now I'm just imagining you hiding behind a curtain, in a booth, on the floor, hunched over a cellular telephone o_O

Gunstar Heroes and Ikaruga are games I really love and I think they're some of the best in their respective genres. Never realised they were both made by the same developer.

I only ever played the first several hours of Grandia. I loved what I played and really wanted to keep playing, but I was playing the Playstation version and I just got frustrated by the bugs that caused the game to crash. I would buy a PC version if it ever came out.

Is anyone really, really looking forward to the release of Sonic Mania on PC? I haven't enjoyed a Sonic game since Sonic 3 & Knuckles. It looks really awesome.
