Official Soul Calibur 4 thread
Sworddude, have you fought people in real life? As in invited friends over and mashed buttons for four hours straight? Because that's what I did/do with Soul Calibur 2. And it never gets old. Though it really was needed to help improve the game, I find character builder (Or whatever it's called) to be a bit cheap. But be glad that Lizardman isn't kneeing you in the balls over and over. Or Raphael isn't whacking you in the face with the blunt end of his sword 30 times. "Stop struggling!!" :P So yea, I'd only get it if you play with friends. Single-player wasn't meant to be great, last time I checked. (Which was like 5 years ago, but still)

Combat Arms - 100% Free FPS - Review, Pictures & Videos
Currently, I'm pretty sure it's only available to Americans (As in North and South America) and people in Oceania. I think that includes New Zealand, but it could just be Australia. I know for sure it doesn't work in Asia, but on August 8, Nexon said that they would be releasing an European version. Hopefully it will be released soon, so I can snipe some more nubs. So yea...If you're from Europe, just wait, a version will come out soon enough. If you're from Asia...Tough luck, it sucks. :| My kill-death ratio will probably take a while to get better, I dug myself into a huge whole during my first few rounds. Though now I can snipe pretty will, I found some great spots. Worth a shot to all who are able to play it, to be honest...Took me like 5 minutes to download and install.

New Generations...
My points have probably been mentioned, but eh, nothing wrong with repeating things. Age and maturity are related. It's not as if ALL 17 year olds are more mature than all 13 year olds, but most are. That's what you have to look at, the majority. Maturity includes the ability to make your own decisions, increased common sense, and so on. Who knows, you may be one of those 13 year olds that's as mature as a 20 year old. But you might not. Also, just look at yourself. Ask yourself, when you were 11, would you have made the same decisions you make today? I wouldn't. I'm more mature (Hopefully), smarter, and much different than I was a few years ago. The same thing happens when you go from 13 to 16 years old. And jackattack, I think you'll find the majority of new parents are on the other end. Though that goes to show...Most parents of little kids are either too lenient, or too paranoid. Only a few really deal discipline. :|

New Generations...
"Do as I say, not as I do." I don't like it, but whatever floats your boat. Or the parents' boat. Or the kid's boat. I already hate little kids enough, this just gives me another reason. Yay.

Your First Post on TIF!
I actually read a good deal of my old posts a few days ago, some were quiet hilarious. First was on the epic new bank suggestion thingy... Then I acted like your general General (Hahaaha I'm funny) idiot for a while, using terrible grammar. (Though my spelling was fine) Then, sometime between 5:29 and 6:09 on June 25 (I'm not sure, but that might have been the day I got members...), I converted. Yay.

Combat Arms - 100% Free FPS - Review, Pictures & Videos
Hrmf, I was just playing. (Yes, I'm back from Taiwan) I normally don't like FPSs, but for some reason I like Combat Arms. I can't say I'm good, I'm usually near the bottom of the list. Though one of my games was melee only and I absolutely destroyed...Guess I'm good with a knife, half my kills were headshots. :P I'm also somewhat good at sniping, I can find good sniping points but I can't hit anything. :lol:

Nintendo, A Console For Children.
Wait, you want Nintendo to stop putting Japanese stuff in their games? Have you realized...Nintendo is Japanese?!?! I'm pretty sure nearly all Nintendo games are released in Japan first. So...Yeah. They're putting Japanese culture into Japanese games. Big surprise, eh?

When do you cry?
Meh, I guess I'm pretty emotional. I tend to sympathize/empathize (Whatever the difference is...) with other people, but I rarely shed tears for others. I suppose I cry at the end. (Yes, I'm bringing up "the end" again) At the end of vacation, I'm willing to bet I'll cry...A bit. I cried after the end of the last day of school last year, but I think that was because I was going through all the memories, and there were some sad ones in there. I don't cry from laughing, I don't really laugh that hard...It takes some skilled people to make me really crack up. (If it makes you feel better, there have been people here who have done so) When I'm angry though, I'll get some tears. Not really crying though. And I suppose I cry during the Lord of the Rings. Not for 10 straight hours, of course. Just the more emotional parts.

Olympics 2008
Honestly with 30 something million tuned in, in just the US i doubt your boycott is doing anything. and if it were just me and in just the usa, i'd say ur right. however it's millions of people around the world. I'm going to make an ignorant assumption here and say that there are at least a billion people that DO watch the Olympics. I didn't like China going into the Olympics, I like them no better now. At least they let Taiwan compete...Can't wait for the baseball games against Japan, China and the US.

Soccer is boring
First of all, nearly all sports are fun to play. Even I can get a bit of fun out of playing American football. However, most are boring to watch. At least team sports. (American) football and baseball stop every few seconds (This is coming from a pretty big Red Sox fan...)...Basketball, hockey and soccer are a bit better, the action doesn't really stop. But yes, Olympics soccer sucks. The World Cup is a lot better.

Speed Stacking
Lenin, that thread was like...You and me...(Okay, maybe some other people) Speed stacking is a fun timewaster, as long as you don't take it really seriously (As in...A job...) I don't mind. My grade went on an end of the year trip on some random boat in Boston harbor, and the point was to dance. None of my friends had anyone to dance with (I...Kind of did), so we swiped a bunch of cups and did this the whole time. #-o

If I were to bring any 3 items.....?
Hm, I'm going on a 24 hour (Technically 12 hours, 4-5 hour break, then 6 more hours) airplane trip tomorrow. I'm bringing two books for entertainment. And some math that I need to study. Wow, I was serious for once.

Other MMORPG's like RuneScape?
Stopped there. Resumed after a minute of consideration. Stopped there again. Didn't resume. And yes, how did you manage to miss the MMORPG thread?

Olympics 2008
Ive heard it might actually be India rather than China. Apparently their economy is growing insanely fast. Not to mention their population. Archery was fun to watch. I wish at least someone would use a traditional bow though. (Guess it's more dangerous?)

Smash Club.
I am Burger King. :-$ In 30 hours, I will be home. And able to play Brawl again. Don't know if that's a good thing.

Funny Olympic Sports
They have this game all wrong, instead of being, play a game of chess then have a boxing match, they should just take it in turns to make a chess move and punch each other every move. Or they could have it like in Harry Potter. (That was probably my favorite part of the whole series...) You know, have people be the pieces. And if they want to capture a piece, they have to box each other.

How do you sleep?
With my eyes open. Oh wait, I'm not a wizard. Yet. I sleep different ways each night, I think. I don't really pay attention to it. I guess the most common is on my side, with my back to the wall though.

Funny Olympic Sports
Starcraft. Koreans would pwn even more.

Olympics 2008
Epic relay much? Ping pong (Or as you western people call it, Table tennis) is an Asian sport. All the Asians at my school play it. (Including me)

Smash Club.
Lol then get ready for a hellfire of missiles from Samus :P. I can't eat those, can I? -.- And yea, some of you post too much. It's mainly because I'm halfway across the world, but every time I check after I wake up, there's 5 new pages.

The Game
I swear, we should have a thread entitled "The Game" and every time someone loses the game, they'd have to post it there. And...You suck. Seriously. Like seriously suck. Like seriously totally suck.

Smash Club.
I go home in two days. Yay. So who do I have to add? Gallade, the Gohan, Zeddude, Agentbravo? And Waddle Dee spam FTW.

Nadril's MMORPG thread.
I've never played EVE Online, but from Nadril's description, Voyage Century Online and Wurm Online sound a bit similar. (Not really, but slightly...) The leveling up while offline thing is something I've never heard of though. I find RuneScape to be...Eh. My friends, for some ridiculous reason, wanted to play it again a month ago. I did...Mined like 6k Ess, then quit again. Oh well. Google Earth flight sim is pretty fun, by the way. :thumbup: If anyone wants a F2P game somewhat similar to RuneScape, Anarchy Online and Voyage Century Online are probably your best bets. And so...There are no really good MMORPGs right now? Waiting until WAR would be the best idea...?

Nintendo, A Console For Children.
People have to realize that a console can't have everything. (Other than possibly a PC) Name one decent casual game for the 360/PS3. (You probably will be able to, whatever) Nintendo is specifically targeting casual/new gamers, and what's the problem with that? Why must a system target hardcore gamers? I will never understand this. You're basically screaming "WOW NINTENDO'S PLAN IS WORKING!!!?!?" I like the Wii because it has more relaxing games, and is different. I can play FPSs on my computer, I can have good online on my computer...Basically what Lionheart said. And not everyone loves blood and gore. And the whole "Wii is exercise??!?!?" thing is appealing to parents. Honestly, if Nintendo and the Wii suck, why has it sold so much? Why is it so hard to find a Wii nowadays?

Olympics 2008
You mean guys trancing around naked and wrestling eachother after being bathed in oil? Only then will you be interested? I say we put pankration (The ancient version) back in. There's only one channel here that shows the Olympics, and it sometimes doesn't even. So I have to follow most of it online. Oh well. And I find archery interesting to watch. Especially those Korean women. :P For anyone who says that the USA already won or China already lost...It's only been like 3 days...Plenty more to go. :P Can't wait for the Taiwan vs. US baseball game...Taiwan beat the USA in archery by the way. :lol: (They barely lost to Ukraine though... :cry: )
