I mean, I've had my blowups, but generally, I'm relaxed, but this is likely due to massive experience with the game(s). <br /><br />....Ah, wait, NGII on PotMN did probably shave 20 years off of my life though. I might have been sitting back but I was fucking PISSED most of the time lol <br /><br />Reason being, well, aside from the extreme difficulty, I took that difficulty on after being away from the game for months.....bad fucking idea. Still did it though, but bad fucking idea.magx01https://www.blogger.com/profile/14831638782847911405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13055290723028357.post-37070787086304330332010-11-05T22:09:48.030-04:002010-11-05T22:09:48.030-04:00It doesn't effect you game play when you sit b...It doesn't effect you game play when you sit back? I always lose my edge if I relax. I also just find it hard to picture you not sitting at the edge of your seat while playing Ninja Gaiden. As a matter of fact when I picture you playing the game I see a pile of broken controllers beside you and a constant stream of profanity flying from your lips as your blinking your eyes because of all the sweat (and possibly tears of frustration). But that is probably just me projecting what that game would do to me onto you.Dragonymoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410039415268832249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13055290723028357.post-88554679844411200062010-11-05T15:36:02.595-04:002010-11-05T15:36:02.595-04:00Yes, it was Fable.

Quest 64 extended my time sans RPG's.....<br /><br />I can sit back, but I cannot play while laying down. <br /><br />Well, she definitely did do it.

I want to say you said it was Fable that eased you into the genre.<br /><br />As for the short cord I have a habit of sitting in the floor when I play video games. I don't do well when I'm leaning back on a coach for some reason. I have to be leaning forward for some reason and apparently sit like a cheer leader.<br /><br />Yeah I had fun going back and forth with her a bit on the subject myself. I didn't notice the parts you mention because I'm not really knowledgeable on the subject like you. When it comes to beliefs I just go with my instincts.<br /><br />Lastly do the links themselves actually show up in your emails at least? It would be nice to know that my habit isn't a total waste here.Dragonymoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410039415268832249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13055290723028357.post-1786977355714641172010-11-04T02:45:41.381-04:002010-11-04T02:45:41.381-04:00Btw, I got your comment re: Ruston's blog in m...Btw, I got your comment re: Ruston's blog in my email, but once again one of your comments seems to have disappeared...wtf.<br /><br />Anyways, it was great, when it was her own. There were parts she literally ripped from other people and did not quote/give credit, taking claim fro words stated by others. Tisk tisk, and especially bad in a blog that's largely about atheistic superiority when it comes to morality......magx01https://www.blogger.com/profile/14831638782847911405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13055290723028357.post-54942906778921912822010-11-04T02:43:33.301-04:002010-11-04T02:43:33.301-04:00I never played any football games, so I missed tha...I never played any football games, so I missed that particular advantage afforded you by the VMU, but I can say that it does actually sound really useful. Odd how that never carried forward with the other consoles....<br /><br />I wasn't into RPG's back then, so I missed out on some of the best games. <br /><br />The controller didn't bother you? Not even the short ass cord that inserted into the bottom (wtf) of the controller?magx01https://www.blogger.com/profile/14831638782847911405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13055290723028357.post-66974548940222983062010-11-03T23:30:19.336-04:002010-11-03T23:30:19.336-04:00By the way I know you love talking about religion ...By the way I know you love talking about religion so I thought you may want to check out Ruston's latest blog.

We had different expectations. I had no plans to play online at that time and even today don't do it often. Although I do wish to do it a little more often.<br /><br />The controller didn't bother me in fact I liked it a lot. Hell to be honest I went to the Xbox next because the controller was similar feeling(as well as the hard drive). As for the VMU it was the single best thing to happen to football games up to that point. No longer did I have to worry about trying to pick plays so that my opponent didn't know what it was.<br /><br />As for the games of course you know my love of Shenmue, but it was rpg's that carried the day for me. Both Grandia II and Skies of Arcadia killed tons of hours for me. Then of course there was Seaman getting through to my mother and getting her to play everyday.<br /><br />You are right on all of the other negatives and as the system slowly died off I often found myself wishing it had come out a year later to take advantage of all of the advances the other systems had.Dragonymoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410039415268832249noreply@blogger.com
