[Indie Rock]

I really like indie rock. It's amazing how good the music is. Discuss indie rock and recommend some bands.

[The real consequences of blurring video games and real life..]

I was hanging out with a friend Friday and I was having such a good time, I thought I had a buff on. I kept on trying to dispel it but it didn't work. Thats WoW for you.

[holy crap, i'm engaged!]

as of 4:25 EST today, i got engaged =)

so, today was the second anniversary of me meeting her. so, we were talking about that on the way back to my room, and she mentioned that she had just gotten a late valentines day gift for me (a book). i said i had something for her too, and she had to close her eyes and hold out her hands. she did, and i put the ring on her finger and asked, "will you marry me?"

she was so totally surprised, and said yes (of course). so, now i'm engaged. OCR meetup before/at my wedding (NOT AFTER), sometime in summer of '08.

i'd post a picture, but i don't have any good ones uploaded right now.

=)

Win. You are a lucky man. Congratulations and may it last forever.

[Sonic the Hedgehog's sad state]

Sonic died the day Dr.Robotnik was renamed to Eggman.

QFE

Ten characters.

[Sonic the Hedgehog's sad state]

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle for Gamecube is the saddest excuse for a Sonic game ever. The voice acting is horrible, graphics are ok, gameplay is choppy at times. Sonic used to be this awesome character. His games were so fast paced and it felt good from playing Super Mario. But now, they are horrible. Please, make a better Sonic.

Whoa. What did I write? I'm to out of it to know whats going on.

[Flying Text]

Dude. Does it put the stuff you type into the movie???

[Sega unveils PC RTS title: Universe at War]

Bold move for Sega, if you ask me. Since the slow downward spiral of Sonic, Sega has been pushing for good games. I think this would be one of those overlooked gems. Heres hoping its good.

[Where can I find good hit music charts?]

Mainstream music ftl, seriously.

[Final Fantasy VII (7) DS: Is it possible?]

Why do people like this thing so much dammit. It's fucking archaic as far as RPGs go now a days, but still too young to have any nostalgia to allow it to be remade like FF4 or 3. Plus if it's coming out somewhere it's on the freaking PSP. It's practically decided already, everyone knows it'll come out sooner of later, it's just a matter of when, not if.

QFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Interview]

Ask any of the remixers. I am sure they will help you. But then again, they could just ignore your and/or give false information. :/

[Hold your wee for a Wii.]

I heard about this. Seriously, who would do that? Yes it's sad but also its pretty stupid to hold it in for a Wii. Just wait a few months when stores get more in stock and you'll be fine.

[Happy Wintereenmas, Everyone!]

GOING TO THE MOON, BRB

Seriously, this should be a holiday we celebrate every year. Whose with me?

[A possible new take on remixes? Would it be allowed?]

Personally, I like them just the way they are. The lyrics just kind of dilute the whole "video-game" background music aspect that has come to make this site one of a kind. Yes, the sites mission is to show that the music isn't just background noise. But making the song sound better by remixing shows that the music sounds good any way. I just don't like lyrics cause they usually are pretty bad and (no offense) the singing is pretty bad.

Just my two cents.

[World of Warcraft]

I went through WC with 2 Blood Elf pallys. They were pretty good. They rezed eachother when they died.

BTW, I'm a 25 Undead Warrior on the Skullcrusher server.

And yes, /1 General is bizzare at times lol.

[This is probably Strange request]

Fuck. Did the comma and period buttons fall off of your keyboard?

He has like 3 periods. lol!

[Art fun: Who has Kirby been eating?]

[Art fun: Who has Kirby been eating?]

LOL! Nice.

[Grammar Ninja]

Can is not an adjective. It doesn't describe a person, place, or thing. Can is an auxiliary verb, meaning "to be able to."

Pwnt.

On a serious note, pretty good stuff. Educational games are making a comeback, with BrainAge and Big Brain Academy for the DS. I would love to see this one out for the DS. I would to be able to correctly find verbs just by reading a road sign or in a excerpt from my textbook. Good job.

[this is totally crazy]

I think the real question is: Does he know you're in his house right now?

ZOHMYGOD! pwnt

[How did you spend NYE]

I/still am chilled/chilling. Played some ps2 and The Sims 2:Pets. Ate a ton of jelly beans, had some toast. LOL'd a bit. Opeth (one of the greatest progressive death metal bands to come out of Europe) and just did OCR. LOL!

[An OCR new year - Resolutions? (Happy New Years!)]

I like it.

Also, I'm composing a list of 100 things I want to do before 2010.

My continued favourite on it is 'give a girl a haircut'.

If all goes according to plan it should be up on my site in a few hours. Or I might go to the pub and see if I can't get a girl to kiss me at 12.

LAOS, you never cease to ammuse me. Heres hoping you still as witty as ever in 2007....... Now where are the smileys when I need em?

[An OCR new year - Resolutions? (Happy New Years!)]

I don't do resolutions, cause that's just a fancy way of saying "I'm going to something a few days and quit".

I agree. What I should do is drink more water since water is 1)tasty and 2)PLENTIFUL! The Earth is 2/3 water so I might as well drink up.

[vBulletin Forum Migration Issues]

So thats why all the fourms where closed this morning. LOL! Sweet. OUR OWN PLACE! <3<3<3<3

[A Map. Where do you live?]

ES of TREES FTW

EDIT:

I'm offended.

lol. Its not even your country. And yes, this did turn into a USA bashing thread.

I should stop typing, huh?

[Wait a second... how are videogames fun?]

Videogames are "fun" because you enter a realm where you can escape the pressures of "the real world" and enjoy a fantasic RPG or an exciting shooter or a pedal-to-the-metal race.

They are fun because it pleasures the brain by releasing endorphins. That makes us feel good.

Also, as many have said, they make us feel on top of the world, the king of kings, the almighty, the superior. I get this feeling when playing violent games such as God of War and Postal 2.

Not saying I am a violent person or not. I enjoy RPGs as much as the next guy but most of the time, I end up frustrated. But when I overcome an obstacle in my way, I celebrate. Beating a mission on Tony Hawks American Wasteland made me very happy. Slaughtering hundreds of Hades' undead soldiers and ripping of harpy wings in God of War makes me grin with anger. Games are fun to some, annoying to others and degrading to some politic ians. It our job as gamers to dispell those hateful remarks and show that games are more than just evil and vile things but joyous and wonderful creations that entertains you and helps hand-eye coordination.
