The Letting Off Steam Thread

woke up this morning, within an hour of waking dad starts political debate with me (some senate or house seat is open...both guys running are fucktards) then proceeds to tell me im wrong for not wanting to vote for the republican because he wants all openly gay teachers out of the classroom.

Then go on my xbox and get exctied for sonic 4. Just to realize its fucking terrible. HOW DO YOU FUCK UP CLASSIC SONIC?

Sonic 4 is not that terrible. Maybe Sega shouldn't have released it in separate episodes.

[atlwarrior]

Oznogrd, Seriously? Tell me you are kidding. How bad is Sonic 4?

[rise]

For real, FUCK the 7-point grading scale in school. I have 92s and 84s in every fucking class except one. The cut-offs are 85-92 for a B and 93+ for an A.

On a related note, anyone felt like you aced a test, had a test next period, and felt like you bombed the shit out of that one? Well, that happened to me last week. Except I ended up with a 65 on the one I thought I aced and a 75 on the one I thought I bombed. Now I'm stuck at an 84 in both fucking classes.

[Lamrock]

I'm loving the 10 point grading scale. I have 81 or 91 in pretty much every class.

Yeah, lamrock, keep rubbing it in.

My genesis runs faster than this game. The homing attack in 2d is horrid, the baddies look terrible, sonic looks terrible...seriously. Its that bad.

[Fresh8]

I can't tell the difference between any of them to be honest. Well, I sort of can between Chinese/Japanese.

Yeah, wouldn't expect you to. I know people who can't tell the difference between Caucasians. Some can't tell difference between Africans.

I think really depends how exposed you are to the different people and the more exposed you are, the more you are able to tell certain features apart.

That's true. I'm fine with telling whiteys apart.

I have difficulty picking accents. I can tell if someone sound American, English, European, Aussie... but can't tell them apart by country. I suck at telling apart Kiwi accents too. I must be special.

Every single exam I go into and come out of.

I liked the fact that the older genesis games it was harder to get lives but in Sonic 4 its so easy to get lives. Currently I have 48 lives right now

Well the genesis sonic games were some of the greatest games of all times. I dont really expect any of the new sonics to top Sonic CD, Sonic 3 and Knuckles and all those other good titles. But looking some of the videos made me kind of skeptical of Sonic 4 but i havent played it yet. Id have to play for myself. But by what I saw things are not looking too good. Me personally I feel that Sonic games should only be made in 2d graphics not 2.5d or 3d. Idk what game's downfall is worst nba live/elite or the sonic series. btw have you seen these videos. These guys at a website call sonicretro.org are doing better job with the sonic games than Sega themselves.

In this one they managed to hack sonic 1 and put sonic, knuckles, tails, shadow and mighty in the game.

Weak.

[benji]

What did you expect? Didn't you see all the shitty physics in all the previews? Like the mine cart, or Sonic walking slowly straight up a fucking vertical wall. Not to mention THE GREEN EYES.

Sonic died over fifteen years ago, give it up already. If you don't like auto-targeting, QTE-gameplay instead of platforming, or Sonic's friends you can write furry fanfic and draw pornographic images about you haven't been in the target demographic for almost a decade now.

And here is how the insane Sonic fans respond, by creating inspirational videos featuring their own user reviews:

And since I know all you budding furries want it, here's the song from that:

Go sit on the bus staring at that girl you want to dress up in foam listening to it.

[Oznogrd]

yeah here's the thing...i dont care how big a fan i am of something, i try to not be delusional: if the gameplay sucks/physics suck/controls suck, the game sucks and no reviews are going to change my mind

FUCK THIS GAME..

Ok done now

[NovU]

Where da fuck my imposter go? I was just starting to have fun...

Welcome back to sanity, grin. This time, stay like that.

Well, he's turned into shadowgrinch...

pro tip, don't taunt

[Martti.]

I hadn't used iTunes in like a year or smtg. Get all my music on my iPod via SharePod and apps via Installous. Tried to install one app with iTunes and it just deleted all my Installous apps. I lost like 30 good apps. Fucking iTunes.

[rise]

Really. Fuck iTunes. They're trying to make everything really nice, but they're just fucking everything up. I wish I could go back and download like iTunes 4 all over again. At least it ran without freezing its stupid ass up.

[Drex]

Fuck man, I had the best game in 2k11 and the fucking game crashed. I had 4 milestones (2 3pt, 5 3pt, 20 pts, 30 pts) and it was a key game, so I earned about 7500 skill points and now they're gone

[Lean]

Aw shucks. Though nothing as tragic as that happened to me playing the game. The worst that I remember is when my Bulls are leading by 10 the game crashed.

Always the way. The better you're doing at a game or the further you'd advanced without saving for a couple of minutes (especially if it's a game where you can save in the middle of the action), the more likely it is for a known issue/crash to occur.

I'm thinking of applying for the NBA's Associate Program for College grads. Don't know how popular that would be. Does anyone know?

Probably ridiculously. The number of people just in my field that wanted to work in Pro Sports was ridiculous in undergrad, i can only imagine its the same way everywhere.
