  1. Kindred cat allergy-five!

    I have a friend who has a previously stray cat his mother took in years ago. He stressed that it was pretty ferocious, so we left it alone to just sit in a random spot like a dick as cats are wont to do. But one night as we're walking out it traipses up to me and sniffs at me, does the cat rub thing, and seems to be cozying up for a nice petting. So I reach down and go to pet it and it fuckin digs its claws into my arm like I'm made of Fuckyoucatimantium. For the rest of the night my arm swelled up to the size of a great big log.

    Fuck cats.

    Ha!

    My grandma had a cat named Sylvester (Looney Toons!). It scratched my arm up when I was like 6. I decked it in the face. Vengence is sweet.

    Later in life I became allergic to cats. Not deathly allergic, just itchy eyes, sniffly nose allergic.

    I heard a story about a guy who lost his hand from an infection from a cat bite. Apparently cat's can harbor lots of sick bacteria in their mouths. Then again maybe he just didn't treat the bite properly. I'm blaming the cat anyway because fuck cats (figuratively).

    There's only one cat I'll trust and that's my dad's cat. He's the chillest cat ever and is named Winston so it's hard to hate him based on his name alone.

  2. When I was really young (4-6) and my siblings did something I didn't like, I would take all of my pants off and yell: "I WIGGLE MY WEINOW AT YOU!" I'm still embarrased about it to this day.

    I wanna high five the hell out of you for making me laugh so hard.

    When I was in kindergarten my parents bought me Sonic the Hedgehog underwear. I was so excited that in the lunch room, which was full of people, I yelled out to my teacher and pulled my pants down to show her the glory of my amazing underpants.

    I was a unique child.

  3. Finished the game a few days back. I enjoyed the endings and how they left it open for a sequel. It was fun but after all the tedium that was ch. 5-7 I don't see myself playing it again. What I said on the last page still stands, overall I'm kinda disappointed with the game. I just really wanted this game to be more than it was.

  4. Oops, I guess I should have specified.

    I'm fine if people decide to use slang like that at all~ Just some people don't know how to put an apostrophe in the right place when they do.

    Like say if somebody wanted to say s'pose, but instead said sp'ose. But (from what I've seen at least) it's easy to tell where to put an apostrophe because it always goes where letters are missing. Like... with isn't the ' goes where the "o" is taken out, in should've it replaces the "ha," in I'm ' replaces the "a," etc.

    Not everybody does that though and even though I'm sure the "rule" of them often isn't spoken of (at least I've never heard it before, it's just what I've observed) making many people unaware of it, it still annoys me when I see it used wrong~ So really I just need to learn how to be more understanding and accepting, but I suppose that's how pet peeves work ^o^

    No worries. I don't get offended too easily. Besides that last pet peeve I talked about is way more irrational than yours. =P

  5. Long hair that gets everywheeeeeerererdhjblk;rg

    I decided to smash my keyboard to show how fucking annoyed I get over this. My mother and sister are the worst for this. Shit ends up in my clothes, my bed, the shower, the sink, all over the FRAKING floor.

    Usually my pet peeves are among the grammatical stuffs... When people don't know how apostrophes work (particularly when they use it as slang like s'pose or something like that), you're your, their they're there, etc.

    D=

    I do that sometimes. I usually try to emulate my "accent" I guess you could call it. Like in real life I never say going. It's always "goin'". I also say things like "enethin'" instead of anything, and I'll remove the s from the word doesn't, though I don't usually go that far when typing/ writing.

    ... That makes it sound like I have a southern accent but I assure you I don't. I live in south-eastern Indiana and I, like most others here, have a pretty regionally androgenous accent.

    OH! That reminds me. Another pet peeve of mine is Brittish accents for flavored water commercials. I honestly couldn't tell you why that annoys me but it does. Kinda asinine when you think about it.

  6. I live in southeast Indiana, pretty much where Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana meet and it's been the coldest, most snowinest winter in years. Heck, One day it wasn't even snow, it was straight ice. 6 inch deep, so frozen walking on top won't dent it ice. Ice is the sucky one. Snow on the other hand is great. It's just so pure and beautiful.

    Anyone made snow ice cream this year? Eyedid. =D

  7. Right, so I'm in Ch.7 and so far I've really mixed opinions on this game. I guess I'll just kinda list how my feelings changed in chronological order

    1. Through most of the beggining chapters I found the plot pretty uninteresting. Everytime a cutscene happened I just wanted it to be done so I could go get more jobs and learn skills (which, btw, is the best part of the game).
    2. Around Ch. 3 (I think) I started to become more interested in what was happening plot wise. The character's started to interest me more, though most of the interesting developement was from the villians. At this point I turned off the voices because damn... Tiz's sucks, Agnes' is headache inducing awful at times, and Ringabel's is only passable. Edea's is okay though.
    3. Ch.5 spoilers ahead

      I got to Ch. 5 and realized I had to awaken the crystals again. "Well.... that seems kinda... lazy" I said to myself aloud. I can somewhat forgive it though since you get to fight the bosses from before when their stronger. That was fun. And that leads to the next chapter...

    4. Ch. 6 Spoilers ahoy

      At this point I'm pretty annoyed that I have to go through the whole crystal rigamaroll for the third time. You can fight the bosses again , but they've barely been upgraded and the same strategies from before work just as well. There's not that much story developement in this chapter either and any that is there could've easily been inserted into a previous or later chapter. The whole chapter was pointless filler and shouldn't even be in the game.

    5. Ch. 7 spoilers derp

      You have got to be kidding me. Did they really think having to redo the crystal bullshit again was a good idea? So freaking lazy. At least the sidequests are fun. They take several of the bosses from before and make you fight a group of them (usually 4) at the same time. They're pretty fun and challenging too. I'm about halfway through this chapter now.

    So I guess my opinion of the game so far is that it's kinda dissappointing. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game. The battle and job systems are great fun and the story is alright 'til you get to Ch.5. I just feel like all the pointless padding from Ch.5 - Ch. 7 shouldn't have been there. They could've done so much more with those chapters to make them feel like a new twist on familiar territory but it just comes off lazy. That's what's so annoying about this game. There's so many great ideas about it that should make it an amazing game, but the poor design choices of the second half just weigh it down so much that it's only "good".

    TLDR Version: It's good but meaningless repitition and padding in the second half weighs it down a lot and the game doesn't live up to its potential.

    but that's just my opinion. I still have to finish the rest of Ch. 7 and onward (which is close to the end).

  8. Dogs. They don't stink as much. They won't try to claw your eyes out. They won't shit in a box in your house or leave dead animals at your doorstep (usually).

    Also I was attacked by a cat when I was little (to which I responded by punching it in the face. It deserved it.). They're mean, they stink, and they bug my allergies.

  9. God, Agnes' voice actor is terrible.

    Her and Tiz are the reason I turned the voices off... I've never been forced to turn voices off in order to enjoy a game until now.

    Ring is okay, but his pervert stchick got really old after a while. Also I can't help but feel that Lliam 'o Brian would have done his voice better.

    Also I like spell fencer way more than I anticipated I would.

  10. Finally got the collecter's edition. Was delivered to my previous address instead of my current on (ya screwed up Gamestop) so I had to retrieve it. Unfortunatly, the person who lives ther's daughter removed the sealing sticker thing meaning some of the black print on the box is missing in places. I'ts not that noticable, but the little voice in my head bugs me a little when I see it. I can't really be that mad at a little girl anyway. Kids eh?

    I can only imagine the parent saw the Soundtrack case and was like "the hell..."

    I mean look at it:

    Tsk tsk Square.

  11. I suck at Dark Souls, I actually killed that ironclad boar in undead parish with a bow and arrow because I was scared of fighting it on foot.

    Little known fact: some of the boars (like the one in undead parish) have their butt holes exposed and are able to be back stabbed.

    *Insert penetration joke here*

  12. Doesn't really give much to go on. Guess I'll withold my opinions 'til more info is out. I'm not usually a fan of Sonic games though. The ones on Genesis are fun, but the others usually don't do it for me.

    Also lol dubstep.

  13. You don't sound like a very healthy person.

    Thanks?

    Hello Angry Dingo

    Ha

    Or bluntly ask them if they're really too damn scared to throw them out. And based on that information, I suggest you decide between moving or staying.

    They don't want to just kick them out with no other place to go. I understand that but the thing is that she has become an inconvinience (and headache. Seriously I get headaches from this shit). Also I know for a fact that she isn't looking for another place. Why would you buy a car if you're looking for a new appartment. This person isn't wealthy (she wouldn't be living in a small upstairs appartment if she was) so why would you purchase a car if you're looking for an appartment? Maybe something happened to her other car but it seems kinda fishy.

    As someone who's lived next to a neighbor that is a loud bitch, yes. Their job is to keep the peace and if a person is being loud and obnoxious then they need to put a stop to it.

    There is nothing worse than being without help from every source you can legally call upon to get someone else to stop. It's even worse if he's stuck in a situation where he can't relocate to a more peaceful environment, which appears in this situation to be one of his only options. The good news is that your landlord does not seem to be making reasonable efforts to stop the noise, so they're violating the contract you signed and you can break lease pretty easily. Depending on where you live you can even withhold rent, but that's a pretty dangerous path and you'd want to talk to a professional about local laws before bringing that one to bear. Just know that you are entitled to a reasonably quiet atmosphere and that what you're experiencing is not your fault at all.

    I guess that's something to consider. I'm just a bit afraid of souring relations between us and the landlords. They really are friendly people and unlike others I've had they treat me fairly and it can be hard sometimes to find a landlord that isn't obnoxious. Thanks for reassuring me that it's not just me being overly anal.

    Also just in case anybody is actually concerned, I'm not so stupid as to actually try to harm someone just for being annoying. I'm not ACTUALLY going to kill someone. Lol

    PS: I said "actually" like 5 times in that last paragraph. What's up with that eh?

  14. Other people. Welcome to them.

    Unless she's directly threatened you, all you can do is either invest in a good set of ear plugs, move, or hope that the owners kick her out for real.

    I have done both of those things. Earplugs are one of mankinds greatest inventions.

  15. Both have their merits and I wouldn't necessarily say one is better than the other. Non-linear seems to be a bit more difficult to pull off succesfully. That might also be why there are more linear games than non-linear. I guess if I had to choose I'd pick non-linear because those games usually have more of a sense of adventure (although I'm not that big of a fan of Metroid. It's only "good" for me).
