Can confirm that I appear to still be alive (though I'm pretty rarely here).

Bah, I had a ridiculous day and couldn't make it to the computer for most of the day :X Miss you guys! Next time we'll just make it a week or something.

Personally, I've got to learn hands on. I can watch someone do it or listen to them for hours, but until I do it, I just can't pick it up.

I've played my fair share of Dark Souls and a smattering of Dark Souls II. I'm terrible at them, and can't play them for long before I start to get twitchy, but I do really, really enjoy them. The lore, by far, was the best bit. James, you're absolutely right btw: DS is the next-gen Castlevania experience we should have gotten. If you want to see something interesting and don't mind some really not safe for work humor, look up Plague of Gripes' Let's Plague Dark Souls series on YouTube. It just finished a few weeks ago, but it's a really in-depth look at the game from a lore perspective.

You make it sound like we're being put out to pasture, man. :P

I'm down. I'm in the same boat Charles, I've never really participated in another forum like I did here.

Haven't in ages. I spent way too much time on here in high school, but have fallen out of touch with most of the users here. It's not me being anti-social; I just have already had most of these conversations. I still poke around when I get the chance but, much like Shy, I'm just getting older and running out of things to say.[/color]

[color=darkred][size=1]Loved this show, I remember watching it when it first aired! Whole series just came out on DVD a few weeks back, I really need to pick that up.[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1]I found [b]The Orange Box[/b] is a great deal; $20 for Half-Life 2, HL2 Ep 1 & 2, Team Fortress 2 (great if you have Live, since it's still populated) and Portal. If you enjoy action titles like God of War, I've been having a lot of fun with [b]Dante's Inferno[/b] lately, which plays like the most disturbing parts of God of War cranked up to 11. Also, don't forget Xbox Live Arcade titles. [b]Castlevania: Symphony of the Night[/b], [b]X-Men Arcade[/b], and [b]TMNT 1989 Arcade[/b] are quality buys, as well as original titles like [b]Shadow Complex[/b], which plays a lot like Super Metroid and [b]Castle Crashers[/b] are definite games to pick up. There's a few gems in the Indie Games too, like [b]Being[/b], [b]Jonny Platform's Biscuit Romp[/b], and [b]I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES 1N IT!!!1[/b] are really, really fun for a nominal fee. In terms of RPGs, I highly recommend [b]Lost Odyssey[/b], a classic turn based JRPG from the director of Final Fantasy I. It gets a lot of flack for a slow start, but when it picks up it gets really, really good. If you want a more rounded RPG experience, [b]Fable II[/b] might be more your speed. Also, Shy will tell you you have to get [b]Age of Booty[/b]. It's alright. I don't hate it, it's just not my cup of tea.[/size][/color]

Single or Multiplayer? [color=darkred][size=1]Mainly MP on a friend's server, but I have a single player campaign for when they're down.[/color][/size] What's the favourite structure you've built? (Pictures if you have them!) [color=darkred][size=1]I'm in the process of a sprawling castle with no door, only accessible by a gigantic, hidden ladder or a difficult to navigate waterfall[/color][/size] What's your best minecraft story? [color=darkred][size=1]Don't have one yet! :X[/color][/size] If you're on a server, which one, and what mods do they have? (Not that I'm constantly on the lookout for cool mods or anything...) [color=darkred][size=1]Friend of mine's server. We run Runecraft, but I've not toyed with it any yet.[/color][/size] Do you use a texture pack, and if so, which? [color=darkred][size=1]Don't think so...[/color][/size] What is your favourite mob? [color=darkred][size=1]The ones that are on the other side of the map![/color][/size] Do you have enough diamonds? :p [color=darkred][size=1]I haven't even found any yet, I'm still pretty new at this....[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1][b]NES[/b] Super Mario Bros., obviously. [b]Genesis[/b] Street Fighter II' [b]PlayStation[/b] Final Fantasy VIII (That should explain my inexplicable love for the game) [b]Game Boy Advance[/b] Metroid Fusion [b]PlayStation II[/b] Final Fantasy X [b]Xbox[/b] Fable [b]Gamecube[/b] Mario Kart Double Dash!! [b]Xbox 360[/b] The Orange Box (TF2, most likely) [b]Wii[/b] New Super Mario Bros Wii[/color][/size]

[color=darkred][size=1]I look for something....[i]anything[/i]...that'll allow me to enjoy the game. Seriously! That's all I want, a fun and memorable gameplay experience. [u]God of War[/u] and [u]God of War II[/u] are offensively short, but have fun gameplay mechanics and an amazing story, so I have no regrets buying them. Same for my favorite RPGs; as long as the story is memorable, I can usually deal with a sub-par (mind you, not broken) gameplay interface. Ultimately, it comes down to being able to play and enjoy the game without becoming too frustrated by a mind-numbing difficulty curve or a boring, dull story. For the money I pay, I just want a game to be fun. That's all I ask for.[/color][/size]
