A guarantee that sometime in my life I will...

1) Have a interesting and hot wife.

2) Have a perfect little daughter.

3) Get my idea for a film made into a real movie!
From March 2010 on the thread "So a Genie appears and grants you three wishes...". I certainly stand by the first two, though I might modify the last one since I came to realise soon after that post that the particular idea I had for a film was actually pretty sucky.

For the Horde! Once you go troll, you never reroll!
Ha! I'm gonna start quoting that in real life. I can't believe I've never heard it before this. But that's just me. I'm usually lurking on YouTube or Twitter. :L

On the thread:

Ahaha, I'm not even a huge WoW fan. I haven't played it since I bought the full version a few months ago. I just don't understand how people can get so addicted to it.

I've been lurking on these forums for a few months now, and I've been impressed by the friendly people on here, so I need to ask: what's a good router to have? I know this isn't exactly game related, but I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out.
Wow, I can't even remember posting that...

Here's just a few:

Anything creepy that materializes out of nothing to just eerily walk across the screen, such as the little girl from F.E.A.R. from time to time.

The first Houdini Splicer you come across in Bioshock. You see his shadow around a corner then it's gone and when you go investigate his little alter he pops up behind you then just disappears.

Wallmasters and Floormasters in Ocarina of Time.

You missed a couple of little details.

Cheating in obnoxiously restrictive games can actually improve the experience. Let's use Fallout New Vegas as an example:

Obsidian decreed that you can't hike up that mountain because they were too lazy to bake the terrain properly, so using a little something called Toggle Collision you can actually climb up that hill to get the vantage point on the Legionnaires bellow, or even to escape from an annoying bug, which all Bethesda based games seem to have which is little depressions with incorrect collision detectors, which leave you stuck, the only chance would be to reload and we all know how frustrating it is to reload when the nearest save was 20mins ago at the start of Über Dungeon of Effing Hardship, or you could simply use the "cheat" to remove yourself from such hole and disable it as soon as you're out.
Registered in '09, didn't post till 2011, hehe!

It depends on the type of game, I think. In FPS's they work better as human sized because fighting a huge boss from a first person perspective can be really awkward but they're better as giants in games like DMC, because the acrobatics in those kinds of games suit larger scale enemies.
A thread about whether giant or human sized bosses are better. Could be worse I suppose.

Killing Floor is a really good FPS. It's a zombie shooter though, and if you're not into zombie shooters you probably won't like it.
The topic was recommend me some PC games.

I play horde so I'm not sure what the Gnome racials are like but if you start playing WoW just try one out. If you don't get on with it try something else. It tends to be the Class not the Race that people have to adjust their own playstyle too.
It can take a while to find what you want to be or do in WoW but you'll enjoy trying different things out anyway : )
In a thread started by someone who wanted to know what was best to play in WoW or something, some two years ago or so.

... I'm such a nerd.

After seeing Dragon Ball: Evolution, Japan can "Steal" anything they want from us. I don't care about what kind of sex, over-the-top weirdness they add into it. Just as long as we don't have to see Americanized versions of classic Anime anymore... What? NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

A post about whether Japan has the right to take our property and exploit it. This was after I saw Dragon Ball Evolution.

The world's first supervillain. You begin with either a power(s), gadget(s) of your creation, and/or general tools of trade and special skills. You can develop your character in certain ways. Go on rampages and increase the populations fear of you (civilians will become unnerved and lash out at officials, begin to riot themselves, etc), slowly build up status by doing bigger crimes (from robbing gas station, to robbing banks, etc), take out important characters (Police chiefs, Crime bosses, celebrities, mayor's daughters, etc) and build up crews/slaves. (force thugs to work for you, get mafia's to work for you, bribe government officials with fear,etc) As you improve your status and crimes, your character does to. New variations in powers, more money to build gadgets, and your general skills improve as well.

Negotiating: How well you can work out deals with crime bosses and government

Intimidation: How much you can get people to fear you as a population or individuals

Charisma: How you can sooth people into false protection, or be mischievous

Intelligence: How smart your character has gotten and still is since they began

Strength: How strong is your character after getting grunts to do some of his work

And a few other things I can't think about right now.

You can also access menu's (which also contain miniature menu's) to display how you're affect other NPC's in the game. Such as how much they fear you.

Population fear levels:

General population( adults, children, workers, etc): 94%

The Police force(county, state, etc): 85%

The Government (President, Military, etc): 83%

Other criminals (crime bosses, thugs, etc): 75%

And you can check how much money you have:

Oh your person: $50

Stashed away: $25,000

Spent: $3,000

Share: $2,000

And other things.

So yeah, pretty much that's it. I've been working on this concept for awhile, in my head, and still need to smooth somethings out.

The topic was about video game premises and ideas we kinda wanted to see.

Blindfold someone, tie him up on a table with his arms outside it. Make water drip into a bucket somewhere around their wrists, but tell them that you've just slit his wrists, and that he's going to slowly bleed to death.
People actually will believe you, and will lie there listening to the dripping.

For shits'n'giggles you can always let it slowly drip empty.
... finding out my first post was a suggestion for torture is somewhat disturbing, but entirely unsurprising.

My first post was in the thread "Poll: Am I the only one who liked FFXIII?)

Truniron said:
It was not bad, but lots of the element from previous games in the franchie have either been changed or gone to waste. Even though I miss the ATB-system (Active Time Battle), job changing and the open world, this game works out ok. The good things abot the game is that the random encounters, which I actually miss, but when I don't have to worry about being forced to battle every 4th step in a cave, I say it's ok. The cutscenes could have been without all the whining and all the grunting sounds, sometimes, it's too much. The Square-Enix francise is taking a different line from how the Squaresoft FF where, but like everything (ecxept war according to Fallout) it changes. If this is how Square-Enix FF games are gonna be, it's ok, but please. At least once, or twice, I hope that they take innspiration from one or more of the previous games and make a game remmenecing to the classic style of FF games.
Overall, not a perfect game, but can be entertaining to the right audience
I still thinks the game is OK, but some opinions may have changed with time.

Are you kidding when you say ravens weapons are crap?
I played as SVER. Loved it.
Then I went veteran and decided to try Raven.

I tried the ATAC 2000 and fell in love with how easily it cut through the enemy.
I recently proposed, and we're getting married next week.
In a thread where some moron was pissed off about the fact that he kept losing on MAG, and so tried to call a boycott on his least favourite maps.

Quite a funny thread to read over again.

The thread was about how you got your profile name.

Well I st started here on the escapist so it's my first forum. I've really gotten into old episodes of red dwarf and I love Simon Pegg movies. And if you don't know about red dwarf they always call each other smeghead as an insult. But on my xbox live it's more interesting, my names MONTYZUMA and I had it even on the original xbox, it's a mix of my dog Monty and a very nice mexican restaurant near where I live called Montezumas. I was really annoyed when I found someone had taken it here.
Been a hell of a ride since then.
