[quote name='Beretta' date='26 August 2010 - 10:14 AM' timestamp='1282835665' post='699877'] I don't know the name of it but it's that card game in Final Fantasy 8. It's addicting.[/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Triple Triad, I do believe it's called. Anyway, as for me...the NiGHTS Pinball game from Sonic Adventure 1 was oddly addicting. It wasn't a particularly deep or complex pinball game, but it was just...fun. I got so many extra lives from that, too. But I think what kept me there the most was the [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz211pMQczA"]music[/url]. So awesome <3 It also got me into the NiGHTS series itself, so that's a plus. As for other minigames, there's also [url="http://www.mariowiki.com/Hammer_Whacker"]Hammer Whacker[/url] from Super Paper Mario, which I got so engrossed in I actually cleared all 100 levels...in a single try. Yeah. And finally...well, considering the entire series is about minigames, a lot of the minigames from the Mario Party series are pretty darn fun too [even if I played alone all the time ].[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Too young. Way, way too young. He was the same age as my dad... I've only seen Paranoia Agent, but I absolutely loved that series; easily one of the best ever aired on AS [dare I say television in general]. I've been meaning to watch his movies for awhile now, and I suppose now's a good time as ever. I'll be keeping his family, friends, and colleagues in my thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]smh = shake my head. Also, for future reference, [url="http://www.urbandictionary.com/"]Urban Dictionary[/url] is awesome for all those little terms/abbreviations that you don't know. Thankfully I know most of them, but I still use it if I come across a real head-scratcher. And FFXIII was okay from what I played. I rented it -- for free, to boot so I didn't lose any money from a purchase -- but it just felt so...bland. I guess it's cause I didn't get far enough where everything stops being linear. =/ Liked the characters, though.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]I'll tell ya one good cartoon I adored as a kid that's been shafted like you wouldn't believe -- [b]KaBlam![/b]. Awesome cartoon sketch show, with equally awesome shorts within. But I guess it didn't fare so well ratings-wise, though it did last a few seasons. But now, Nick seems to be pretending the show never existed, with one notorious example being a Thanksgiving break special they did a few years ago; they ran the first episode of every Nicktoon ever created -- even the rather notorious [b]Invader Zim [/b]-- but guess which one [i]didn't[/i] get its first episode shown? Yeah. Anyway, two of the shorts on KaBlam even got their own standalone shows -- [b]Action League Now![/b] and [b]Angela Anaconda[/b]. The creator of another one of the shorts, [b]The OffBeats[/b], went on to make [b]Sheep in the Big City[/b] for Cartoon Network, which, funnily enough, was also a fairly short-lived cartoon, but also extremely awesome and hilarious in just about every way imaginable. I was also a big fan of ABC's One Saturday Morning. Favorites on there included [b]Recess[/b], [b]Pepper Ann[/b], all the wacky little shorts they showed in between...I even liked the Disney version of [b]Doug[/b]. [Though I also loved the original Nick cartoon.] Ah man, what else, what else...there's the famous stuff that people have already said, like [b]The Powerpuff Girls[/b], [b]Johnny Bravo[/b], [b]Dexter's Lab[/b], etc...I also liked [b]Cow and Chicken[/b] and [b]I.M. Weasel[/b]. I remember watching [b]The Adventures of Penelope Pitstop[/b] and [b]Wacky Races[/b] a lot, which was back when we first started getting Cartoon Network. [b]Tiny Toon Adventures[/b] was also awesome. And [b]Animaniacs[/b], though truth be told I don't remember it as well as the former. Oh, and [b]Pinky and the Brain[/b], which my mom liked as well. XD ....And [b]Magic School Bus[/b]...[b]Rugrats[/b]...[b]The Wild Thornberries[/b]...[b]Rocket Power[/b]...[b]Freakazoid[/b]...gah! Okayokay, to finally finish my ramblings, I'll bring forth one that I am really disappointed that no one has mentioned yet -- [b]Teen Titans[/b]. Seriously, this was easily one of the best cartoons in the past decade. Loved it to death, and am sad it never got a sixth season. ;_;[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Well, CaNz, I agree with your sentiment to an extent...however, I don't think she should be barred from "NEVER ASKING FOR HELP ABOUT FRIENDS EVER". Don't get me wrong, though -- I agree that she[?] probably should have taken this somewhere more confidential, like in a private conversation with friends [whether the friends know this friend can be optional, since seeking advice outside of your normal group of peers can help sometimes]. Like White, I've been on the receiving end of the festering negative feelings, too [kinda going through it right now, actually...], and it sucks. Anyway, it's all done and over with now, so I might as well give my two cents.[/font][/color] [quote]1) Does being the only child in the family might actually cause her to act that way?[/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Case by case basis. Someone with a lot of siblings could also very easily act this way -- I highly doubt it's restricted to a single-child household. I'm also an only child -- with Asperger's Syndrome, no less -- and have never acted the way your friend does [although I can get kinda loud without meaning to]. In fact, I'm the polar opposite -- I'm [i]painfully[/i] shy. I mean, it [i]could[/i] be a factor, but it might not be. I just don't want you going around going "ONLY CHILDREN ARE SO WEIRD AND AGGRAVATING", 'cause that's just an unfair stereotype, y'know? [then again, pretty much all stereotypes are unfair. You get what I mean, though].[/font][/color] [quote]2) How should we talk to her nicely about asking her to change or something like that? Like, how should we start and how to go on from there?[/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Well, first, figure out what kind of environment you'd want to be in before confronting her about her attitude. Do both of you [or the rest of your friends, maybe] have AIM/YIM/MSN, or some sort of IM service? I myself have found myself much more able to get my points across in a fairly calm, rational, and well put together manner when I'm doing it through text, though that's most likely due to my circumstances that I outlined above. Maybe next time she does something, you can calmly say "Hey, could you stop doing that? It's kinda frustrating" or something like that.[/font][/color] [quote]3) I know ignoring won't work, but we're pretty attached too, so, is there a way for us to avoid her or something?[/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]This is a really sticky one. I can definitely understand needing a break from specific friends, but if you [i]all[/i] were avoiding her, she'd definitely figure out that something was up. I doubt she could be [i]that[/i] stupid. If it were you as an individual, I'd possibly suggest it, but as a group? No. That's just mean.[/font][/color] [quote]4) Do you think that being seriously pissed while explaining to her, like yelling and maybe getting a little physical after a few days of explaining to her in a nice manner will work?[/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]No no no no NO that is horrible and I have no idea how you could possibly think that that's a good idea. I can definitely understand that keeping your temper under control is easier said than done for a lot of people, but resorting to physical violence? You realize that could easily net you a nice little assault charge, yes? She might be annoying, but it's [i]not[/i] worth getting physically violent over. No. Just no. Like White said, she could be going through stuff at home right now that you don't know about, causing her to act this way. It's always good to keep that in mind. Even if that's not the case, you don't want to risk it. [Although I don't think that's an excuse to take it out on her friends. I realize it's hard keeping it in, though.] I'm not sure what to tell you. It would be easier if it was just between you and her, but since it seems like you've got your whole group of friends against her, that seems...well, mean. Do you have any friends that don't know her, or know her but not as well as you do, to talk to? An unbiased opinion would help, yes, but I don't think a forum with a bunch of strangers is really the place to do so. This has been really thought-provoking, though. Makes me think about how I deal with situations involving friends. I'm actually going through something similar right now, although the circumstances and actions done are a far cry from yours. I'd rather not get into it, though -- both because of what CaNz said [this really isn't the place for it], but I'm already blue in the face from talking about it with other friends.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]I'm sure she'll love it, regardless of how it turns out. [/font][/color]

[quote name='Cat' date='16 August 2010 - 04:40 PM' timestamp='1281994824' post='699500'] Nope, don't mind that at all. Guys in drag don't bother me. In fact, I support it. There a street where I to shop and there is a drag bar there. The "Ladies" are supper nice, though I did get asked out by one. I have to admit, one of the top strange thinks to ever happen to me. Nope, I think its the pink. [/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Ahh, my apologies. I wasn't trying to step on anyone's toes or sound offensive, if I was.

I think its all the pink. I'm not a fan of pink. [/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]You sure it's not the fact that the one in pink is a guy? [/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Got angry at Elysium on MML2 and decided to play a new file of the original [b]Megaman Legends[/b] [albeit the N64 port] that I started some months ago. I hadn't gotten very far at all, but I still managed to wrap it up in 2-3 days...not to toot my own horn, but I was pretty impressed with myself with that. Had some trouble on some of the bosses [mainly the Reaverbot at Lake Jynn ruins, Bruno, and Juno], but it was smooth sailing for the most part. <3 Love that game. Also continuing on replaying [b]Trials and Tribulations[/b], and am on case four now. Case five is my favorite in the series, though, so I'm looking forward to that. <3[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]No no, I'm not worried about that. I figured that they'd work like Blaine's quiz in R/B/Y/FR/LG. I'm worried about the puzzles in the gyms themselves. I doubt they'll take them out entirely, but it is I've wondered.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Not to be a downer, but I bet that the grand majority of these reusable TMs are going to consist of primarily useless, non-damaging, or otherwise easily accessible moves, so people don't abuse the heck out of supremely powerful moves. [Even though one might argue that it's been the norm lately...] Also, I hope that not all of the gyms do a quiz thing like Dento and Aloe do. That'd take half the fun out of getting to the gym leaders themselves. [/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]'cept there was already Pachirisu in the previous gen, and Plusle + Minun before that. [url="http://pokebeach.com/2010/08/august-corocoro-magazine"]Dento AKA the green-haired apron boy is confirmed to be the first gym leader of the region[/url], with Aloe being revealed to be the second. Wonder if they'll keep up with the rock-gym-leader-being-the-first trend, or if he'll specialize in something else? He doesn't look very...um...rocky.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]I just wanted to say that not all Christians [or religious people in general] go around beating people with Bibles, claiming that "YOU'RE GONNA GO TO HELL" if you so much as blink the wrong way. Similarly, just because some might not agree with homosexuality does not mean that they want to strip you of your rights as a human and burn you alive. I'm not gonna lie and say it never happens -- it does, unfortunately -- but you'd probably be surprised at how many [i]aren't[/i] like that. Heck, even the most "fundamentalist" types believe that the Westboro Baptist Church [which is not affiliated with any American Baptist churches] are a pack of truly evil people, spewing vitriol and hatred that they wouldn't even [i]dream[/i] of ever doing. According to some accounts of former members of the church, Fred Phelps stopped believing in God a long time ago, and uses His name just to rile people up. I don't know if that's true or not, but if it is, it's worked spectacularly. Truly one of the most effective real life trolls of our day, especially considering the [i]Klu Klux Klan[/i] thinks they're a bunch of wackos. For me, it's something I've struggled with for a long time now. But you know what? Either way, it's not my place to judge. You could be gay, straight, Christian, Muslim, atheist, whatever, and I'll still call you my friend. Anyway. Just wanted to point that out. Carry on. [/font][/color]
