I think it was Theorist.
Are you ready for some football?

--- Quote from: Tengukami on August 13, 2011, 03:35:51 AM ---Loved it, loved it, loved it. I tried a lot of different types of runs, and my favorite remains just picking a compass direction from a location and waking until I find something. I have half the locations mapped, and have picked up items pertaining to quests I haven't even begun yet. It's just great, sprawling fun. And it keeps me off the streets!

Have you tried/played through New Vegas or either of the first two Fallout games? Might I recommend ALL of them?
What do you think humanity has going for it and what do you think it could improve upon? How about the western Touhou fanbase? How about yourself?
As a well-traveled and experienced gentleman, do you have any sage advice for the younger forum-goers in regards to something you know now that you would've like to have known when you were younger?
When the heck are you going to make it to Otakon? :/

Remember this video?
--- Quote from: Tengukami on August 14, 2011, 03:45:43 PM ---I don't know! There were just moments when my pedo alarms went off and I just found it unbearable. I recognize this is probably closed-mindedness on my part, but there it is.

That's a bit unexpected. :o
Have you ever played video games on a handheld console? Anything in particular you'd wanna try?

I wish I were, but every time I start trying to follow a game, I end up falling asleep or daydreaming. It'd be great to have something else to get enjoyment from, but I just don't see it in the cards.

Haven't tried these yet, no, and really look forward to doing so.

Wow, neat question. I think all three are connected, as all three pertain to human behavior. Humans have this remarkable capacity for imagination and innovation; inventing new things and improving on things already invented. This is pretty much the cause of and solution to all our problems. On the one hand, pasteurization. On the other hand, the flamethrower (George Carlin once quipped, "At some point, some person said to himself, 'Gee, I sure would like to set those people on fire over there. But I'm way too far away to get the job done. If only I had something that would throw flame on them.'")
As for the WTC, it's as I said upthread: the creativity that fans show in honor of their favorite series is really heartwarming, while the self-entitled "waaah the game isn't how I want it and I am angry even though I didn't pay for it" attitude is kind of annoying.
For myself, I like to think I have a few things going for me: young-looking for my age, in good health, talented to some degree, compassionate. On the other hand, I can also be really self-absorbed, distrustful, and careless with my words. It's a struggle.

Yeah: take nothing seriously - and I mean absolutely nothing, the good or the bad - that happens in high school. Whether you're the bullied anime/video game nerd or the prom king, in just a couple very short years it will all amount to nothing. None of it will matter, at all, once you're outside that environment. So just enjoy it as much as you can, and make the most of it.
Also, I notice a lot of users here seem to have social awkwardness around girls. I've seen more than one user post about wanting to just talk to a girl but was nervous about doing so. To this, all I can say is: people love talking about themselves. Really, if you're wondering what you could possibly say to that girl you like from afar, try asking her questions about herself. Show an interest in wanting to know who she is and what makes her tick. I think it's a good strategy in general for anyone you're interested in romantically; you ought to really know the person you're thinking about being intimate with. But also, I think many girls are used to guys pretty much trying to fit them into the image the guy has for them ahead of time, and so they tend to appreciate it when a guy makes the effort to know who they actually are.
In a more general sense, just remember that no matter what your parents say about you or how you should live, in the end, you're the one who has to live with the decisions you make. It's better to follow your heart and argue with your parents over your choices than to bow your head and accept some miserable path they choose for you.

Man, I can only hope to come next year. I honestly don't know how things will be until then. But I do, very badly, need to get back there.

Now I do! I remember thinking "wow, that's a waste of a lot of mines". And that this mod looks very cool.

Yeah, my first video game was Nintendo's Donkey Kong. I haven't been following handheld console games at all, so I don't really know what I'd wanna try. If Persona is available for a handheld, then that one.

You did see it in the cards before, though :< [/missing the point]
