[quote name='Ducky' timestamp='1301362664' post='706041'] Not nearly as much as working full time. ._. *pie'd* [/quote] Overtime (in my case is 10 hours a week plus Saturday and Sunday but right now I'm back on the regular 8 hrs) is just as bad especially when production is down/slow because we usually have to find something to do until we are back up and running (and I'm not trained in some of the other stuff yet). But for the most part full time's not bad unless you have something to do. [quote name='cAnZ' timestamp='1301427449' post='706065']Best wasn't the... well... best choice of adjective, but to stay unconfrontational like I said, the only thing that I can think of better is to constantly agree with whoever is talking to you at the time, but I try not to intentionally lie to my family and friends. Me not telling people about my views doesn't mean I don't have any. [/quote] I'd rather not agree with people because you can be agreeing with some stupid crap and at the same time that's how the "he/she said" crap starts. I prefer to remain quiet. The don't ask don't tell policy have always worked for me. You will never catch me telling things about myself unless I wanted you to know. This applies both online and off.

[b]Yakuza 3[/b] is for those who need to find some way to release anger. The way people get hit on there, wow, it's over-the-top but they get hit hard. I wish I was introduced to the series earlier since I was dying for something similar to Shenmue on the PS2. I'm not far in the game at all (probably about 30 minutes in) but I am loving it already. I think I will be getting Yakuza 4 a lot sooner afterall.

Alright, after buying lot's of games from Feb to now I have developed quite a backlog of games to play. I just bought [b]Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2[/b] yesterday and that's currently in my PS3. I'll probably be rotating between Naruto, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma, or rather, those the games I've been playing little bits of. After them I'll probably end up playing [b]Yakuza 3[/b], [b]Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2[/b] and [b]Uncharted Among Thieves[/b]. I've officially given up on Batman Arkham Asylum. I'll be trading it in someday. It just didn't reach my expectations and to be honest it's given me a negative impression of Arkham City. Anyway, I'll eventually work my way back to the Xbox 360 so I can finally start playing Bayonetta, finish up Devil May Cry 4, continue with Mass Effect 2 and continue developing Guy on Super Street Fighter 4. I'm still thinking about buying Uncharted Drakes Fortune. It'll depend on if I feel like going back to it after playing Among Thieves. And then I'm also thinking about buying God of War 3 as well as Vanquish, and Castlevania but none of them are on my "must have" list. Crysis 2 looks good but I'm the type that waits for a price drop. It'll probably be a bit before I buy another game, or rather, I probably won't purchase another game for the remainder of the month.

[quote name='James' timestamp='1301005162' post='705899'] [font="Palatino Linotype"]I just bought Crysis 2. Has anyone else tried this? I haven't yet played it but I'm hoping it's good (considering I really like Far Cry 2). [/font] [/quote] I'm also curious about it. I've been reading the reviews and they've been positive for the most part. I think there's been some talk about linearity or something of that nature might be a put off to some.

So my father had on this Entertainment thingy, and I keep on hearing about this bully thing. Bully got slammed (well deserved. Should've slammed him two more times) and I hope my ears were deceiving me but I think I heard them quote the mother of the bully saying that she wants the one who was being bullied to apologize... That better be a misquote, otherwise, did this heffa not see what her son was doing?

[size=1]I've been playing [b]Batman Arkham Asylum[/b] and while it's a great game and whatnot, it's not what I was expecting. I think I was expecting a little more from it, considering some folks were talking Game of the Year status, but I'm rather underwhelmed. The combat is great, and the story is nice, but I can't place my finger on what's missing. On 1 hand I find myself wasting money, but on the other I think it should be played or rather everyone should experience it at least once... (it's more of a rental) No doubt it's the best Batman/superhero game made, but like I said it just feels underwhelming.[/size] Edit So I finally got a chance to start playing [b]Metal Gear Solid 4[/b] and the first thing that happened was a freakin Gekko lands on me and then had the nerve to kick the crap outta me. That made me feel like a punk. Then I run into a guard pressing the square button trying to CQC him and Snake does nothing but keep on running into him. So now I'm caught looking stupid. These things happened because I'm still trying to get used to the controls. I am not used to the CQC button being the R1 button. I'm still trying to learn how to side roll as well. But I am liking the game so far. Saw some unnecessary cutscenes though.

I get to sleep in tomorrow. While it was nice working 10 hours along with Saturdays (that's a lot of overtime) I'm glad to be back on 8 hours and no Saturday's. I get to actually do some things other than come in and go on the computer for a couple of hours and then sleep.

I'm just hoping the folks in Japan will be alright when everything is settled.

[quote name='PiroMunkie' timestamp='1300480068' post='705782'][color="#006400"]Oh and if you've ever seen or read about the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask cursed game cartridge, that probably would have scared the crap out of me if it was for real, lol.[/color] [/quote] ...What?

So Naruto wasn't bad this week, but Choji's still a terrible character to me. True, he's a nice guy, but I can't stand characters who just do nothing or get hotheaded because you talk bad about someone else (It makes characters like Mugen look bad). Mifune vs Hanzo ended well. Because of the mask I never had Hanzo pegged as a "hero" or a good guy.. You really can't judge a book by its cover. I respect the guy even more now.

Hmm. The only thing that comes to mind right now is Hunter x Hunter. It's a very underrated series, especially when comparing it to the likes of Naruto, Bleach and One Piece. It has an old-ish look to it, or rather, it's not very colorful (Think Yu Yu Hakusho. It's made by the same guy) but the animation is spot on when it comes to the fights. Speaking of fights, if you liked Yu Yu Hakusho and Kurama's fights then you will like the fights in HxH since almost all of them are like watching a Kurama battle. The only negative thing I will say about the series is that the main character that's mainly stupid but smart when it comes to fighting. However, Gon has such a charming personality, it probably won't bother you. You're not the only one who've fallen out of the anime scene. (I've been watching old stuff for the most part)

I don't know if the action's about to pick up, but the story looks like it is (after what? 10+ chapters? Took far too long for something to really jump off, but this is still not what I want to see)

Am I the only one that's tired of Ino-Shika-Cho? I don't like Kiba, but man I'd much rather see him or, a different team get the spotlight over them now. In any case, Mifune is a beast.

So I'm gonna be putting [b]Super Street Fighter 4[/b] on hold for a while (I suck at it anyway, so yeah lol). [b]Bayonetta[/b], [b]Batman: Arkham Asyulm[/b] will be taking up my free time (like 3 hours a day). I think I'll also go back and finish up [b]Devil May Cry 4[/b] (again) as well as [b]Mass Effect[/b] (again) and finally start and continue [b]Mass Effect 2[/b]. Batman and Bayonetta just arrived today. I think Friday, I'll probably buy a PS3 and order (if I don't see it) Metal Gear Solid 4 and probably both Uncharted 1 & 2.

That sore throat developed into more of a chest cold now. >_> Just what I need. I haven't had the coughs in God knows how long. All the times I'd catch a cold it was mainly nose conjestion, ear clogs, and the sniffles. I always drink Vernors when I'm sick. I've been told it does something.... That and Canada Dry.

[quote name='Ducky' timestamp='1299288834' post='705485'] Lots of water. LOTS of water. Flush it right out of the body. Orange juice (or vitamin C in any form, really) will help too. Also, rest. As much as you can, anyway. [/quote] Thanks, although resting might not be possible. Then again all I really do is go to work, come in, play a game for a little bit and then sleep so that might not be as much of an issue as I thought.

Man, I almost went off today. I'm not the type that get easily flustered when it comes to working around people. I usually brush things to the side, but this guy got me to the point to where I had to walk out (took a long break). Had I stayed I was gonna end up losing my job. He's a joker. And honestly, I don't mind it. We can't listen to music so they clown around on the job a bit to pass time. But he gets to the point to when goof's off (He gets annoying with it and don't know when to let #### go), he stops working and then we start slowing down. I'm continuing my work while he's busy letting #### get piled up. I confront him about it and then he goes on about me trying to tell him how to do his job... WTF!? I don't give a #### how you do your job just do it. And then he goes into this "smartass" mode asking me if he's doing his job right. At that point I had to walk out because I was definately going to hit his ass with one of those battery cells. The sad part about all of this is is that he got into it with the supervisor's daughter afterwards. Other than that, I had a pretty ####ty day. I'm also coming down with a cold. My throat tingle and itches (Any suggestions on what to eat/drink?)

So I've been playing Super Street Fighter 4 with this arcade stick (got it through Tekken 6's limited edition which I won't play), and while I've become a little decent with it I could still use a lot of work. I've developed quite a decent Guy. His target combo is really nice and I've caught onto how to link that together into his special moves along with his super. Now I'm working on linking that with his Ultra. I also gotta work on my usage of EX moves and linking them together and whatnot. I think I have 4 more of his trial left. I've been watching some of Vesper Arcade's video's and they're very helpful.

[quote name='Cat' timestamp='1299100743' post='705437'] I disappeared for so long, I have no clue whats going on anymore. It is awesome! [/quote] I didn't disappear at all and I still don't know what's going on, but I'm just gonna pretend like I do and move along.
