    Nintendo Entertainment System

    I was really young when I played Kage and got so pissed off that my princess was always in another castle that I dug a hole and buried the game in our neighbor's garden.

    Cali & LV

    There are some cool bunkers in San Francisco with probably the best view of the bridge, and towers overlooking the bluffs on the other side. Used to fuck around there as a kid, I think it's the Spencer battery. Looking at some pictures online, it might be all pretty sanitized these days with...

    Zero Dark Thirty (2012)

    Living in the midwest really blows. The closest theater showing this is more than 400 miles away. The next closest is in New York.

    Do you sneak into movies?

    I tried once at AMC when I was younger and we got caught. Figured they just watched the cameras like hawks and never tried again. Sometimes I'll watch multiple movies on one ticket though (I see everything, huge movie buff). A nephew of mine just got a job at an AMC and he said they really look...

    Suggestion for amazing LAN games?

    I urge you to give Nox a try. It's like a high speed diablo 2 with much better pvp. There's also a co-op mode called quest. It's3 bucks on gog. Lan works but if you want to play on the net you'll need to dl westwood online. I'm not sure if quest is included. If not you can find the...

    Nostalgic Video Game Music

    Lagoon wasn't the best game, but it had some memorable music. Was going to link the zeal music... but Chrono Trigger & Cross have such good music. Might be easier to just link both sound tracks. I missed out on the EQ music. There was some issue with the music and soundblaster cards when...

    Path of Exile

    I just expected changes to be much faster for a game at this stage of development. The skill tree rearrangement must have taken a lot of work. It was surprising to see act 3 unfinished as well. Are they doing a lot of fine-tuning balance changes? Seems like a waste of time if they are.

    I like this game but holy crap it feels like hardly anything has changed since this thread was posted on FoH.

    Meth is a c2 can be prescribed for weight loss (obesity) too.

    Weight Loss Thread

    You're right, it can cause some issues. A lot of these fad diets exclude it though to trick people into thinking "wow I dropped 2 pounds in 2 days!" and shit. That's just water weight though.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Salt isn't really a weight problem unless it's causing you to drink lots of kool-aid or something. Do the couch to 5k thing. Easy as fuck. Just make an ipod mix to sync up with the resting periods. You'll be healthier and it'll be easier to keep off the weight than forever restricting your diet...

    Compensation has definitely gone up in the last few years. Several companies are in places that are more expensive to live in though.

    Remakes: What would you like to see?

    I've heard there's an issue with Garriot owning Lord British and other characters. They are "remaking" Ultima 4 though:Ultima Forever.

    Nintendo Entertainment System

    I'll stick to the less obvious ones. Crystalis - Simply amazing game. DL an NES emulator just to play it. Faxanadu The Magic of Scheherazade (as mentioned in games you may have missed thread) Yo! Noid (yeah, the Dominos mascot) Little Nemo - The books are cool. It...

    Chronic Pain

    I have an uncle with TN. He uses klonopin and smokes marijuana with high CBD content + opioids to help manage it. Anticonvulsants don't help him much =/. This was after he tried to kill himself to get away from the pain. So yeah dude, get on medication before this shit drives you crazy.

    Remakes: What would you like to see?

    To those yearning for an Ogre Battle remake/sequel: they did make Ogre Battle 64, and it's actually really good. It's also available on virtual console. RIP Quintet =:emoji_nose:( Paper Mario is the successor to Super Mario RPG (not nearly as charming though imo). SOTN has Belmont family successors...

    Good Games You Might Have Missed (Game Suggestions)

    (PC) Nox: High speed diablo clone with a decent campaign and amazing multiplayer. This game has the best arena/ctf style multiplayer that I have ever played. RIP Westwood. It's 6 bucks on GOG.com, but you need to dl westwood online to get it online. Not many people play it anymore though. Not...

    Difficult programming question

    Most good 3D engines have C++ bindings. Java if you want to do something on android. As for learning, I think learning to code by tinkering around on your own MUD is a really good way to learn programming. No worrying about art if you don't want to. Tons of codebases out there though many of...

    I doubt the stock tools do that, but I'm sure you could script it in. There are some pretty bigrpgmaker communitiesout there.

    Remakes: What would you like to see?

    I'd like to see Ultima 8 remade. I think it could have actually been a good game if we hadn't gotten a half-finished hunk of ass. When I imagined UO before it came out, it looked like Ultima 8.

    "Good" games, that you hate.

    My kid brother would play this crap nonstop for hours while I was raiding in EQ... and he'd reset after beating the first level. The music drives me insane. Fuck General Garland.

    Good Games You Might Have Missed (Game Suggestions)

    SNES:E.V.O.: Search for Eden. The gameplay has always been a bit clunky, but most people I talk games with have never played this one. You go through 5 time periods in earth's history eating other dudes to evolve into the strongest life form. Sometimes your evolutions end up looking seriously...

    Well he does have goals with the grades. The report card is a long time away. You need some short term goals to help her stay focused. Really though you should just consult a professional... I think this is probably a really common problem.

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    I never knew anyone to import. We traded roms on irc via dcc and hacked ftp sites. (.smc = super magicom) I failed to play through ff5 so many times without a translation. When the translation was finally in a decent state (it took forever) I almost couldn't even bring myself to get past the...

    Soda Stream

    I was going to buy one of these until I realized they have some proprietary CO2 refilling mechanism so you can't just use normal canisters. The extra cost isn't a big deal, but I hate douche moves like that.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    Even original EQ had tons of corruption. If you knew the right people you could get all kinds of favors. Free AAs, server transfers before they were even available to the public, and lots, lots more. It really takes a huge effort to prevent corruption. Powerless GMs is a good step.

    IRC lulz

    Reading all these logs actually makes me pity him. Fucker is crazy and needs therapy desperately. Btw, Midol is just Advil.
