Repost your first Escapist post!

Generally I use assault rifles, laser/plasma based ones if they're available, but in Borderlands I use nothing but snipers/shotguns.

Poll about type of gun you use the most in games. Doesn't really hold as true now, since in almost all games I use the sniper/shotty combo I started doing in Borderlands

Super Ghouls and Ghosts...hardest game ever

 

[lacktheknack]

Yes.

In the "Are you your username" thread.

Watch me get put on probation in extreme retrospect due to low content.

My first kiss was kinda funny. To quote Aerosmith, "I was a high school loser, never made it with the ladies...". And then I got to my summer camp, and one night all the guys were swapping their first kiss stories. Then they noticed that I was rather quiet. They found out, and immediately resolved to get me my first kiss by the end of the week. In the end, they got a girl from the kissing booth to do it. She's a very pretty girl, and we're friends there, but there was no romance. Still makes for a funny story.

My first kiss with some feeling behind it was my freshman year of college, just a few months later. A girl had some attraction, there was some obvious chemistry, we knew it, all our friends all knew it, and they were all wondering when one of us was gonna make a move. one night when we were all hanging out, she went back to her room, asking if I would walk her back. We got to her (dimly lit) room, shared a few words trying not to be awkward too much, and she sat down on her bed. There was one of those long pauses, and then I just went for it. A plain, sweet, innocent and truly heart-warming kiss. We're not together anymore, but we're still good friends. All in all, I'm satisfied with how it went.

TOPIC: Poll: First Kiss. This was back in October of '09, and I still wasn't over her yet. Glad I eventually did move on.

This is so embarrassing:

I have control over my nostrils as in make the nostrils bigger (inflant). Apperantly the people who I have encounter can't do that.

I can too, I discovered this ability watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer... I was trying to make my nose glow.

I think you win for this.

Also, I can do that too. Think we can join up with the Avengers?

I like mine non-human. Preferably with exoskeletons.

I dont think its wrong as long as you can keep it in check. Like looking at a picture of a person in art and saying "wow, thats attractive" but then holding everyone up to it and looking for a person on an impossibly unrealistic degree.

From <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.211650-Is-it-ok-to-find-a-fictional-character-sexy-attractive?page=1>this thread about if its oka to find fictional characters attractive.

 

[Panzer_God]

Well since this is my first post I'd go with... no

People were complaining about being banned. The five guys before and after this post were all banned. I wasn't. 10 points to me.

I never thought of that! O.O
We could light up their fights with our noses!

Underwater areas were you see something big off in the distance, but your too far away from it for it to attack you. You just know you have to head in that direction and as soon as you get too close it will be on you fast. I am fine in water levels when things just come after you but preparing to go after something just sitting there unnerves me.

The worst part, this all started for my in Mario 64, that stupid eel with his head poking out of the ship, I just knew I had to go in their somehow but I swore if I got close he would eat me and swallow me whole (after the classic mario games and those giant cheep cheep fish that ate you to instant death, I didn't wanna chance it).

It was on a in-game fears, and this is still very true to this day. Luckily I have not played too many games recently with these types of areas, but I'm sure they will catch me by surprise at some point again when I least expect it.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Well, let me take a look see....

.....Oh good God almighty!

I'm impressed at how good it looks on the iPhone, even though I know what the guts of the phone are. I guess I'm not used to seeing good looking games on phones yet. Although, I'm not sure how scary it will be since you can see and hear them running at you. I do think it's kinda funny seeing them do that while flailing their arms...I think that's what those are anyways.

Talking about Dead Space going on the iPhone, and why am I even commenting on this? I never even bought the damn thing!

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Hmm...Let's see.

Sequels can't "ruin" whatever they're based on. Even if something awesome gets a shitty sequel, it still exists in it's awesome state, unchanged and untarnished by it's shitty follow up. It just means that the first one was better. It doesn't mean that the first is somehow worsened.

About "Sequels that ruined the original", if that's not obvious.

 

[FFHAuthor]

Just because my girlfirend made me...

Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho, the first time I saw him I swear, I thought he was a chick. That, and it's something about the hair...all long and red... -ahem-

Tali from Mass Effect, I was disturbingly pleased when she was a romance option in ME2...she'd always seened so mysterious in the first one with the mask, and combine that with the almost adorable nervousness of her acting and mannerisms in ME2 when you're socializing with her? Awesome.

From; 'Fictional Characters you're horrified you find so attractive'.

Hmm.

Yeah...

 

[BishopofAges]

This is going somewhere morose and it becomes even more so if you listen to the first minute of Ghost of Rattman from the Portal 2 OST while reading it.

I don't want to say she's not torn up bad, but she is. If it were me I'd be pissed to no end because my right arm (buttons arm) is busted and immediately request robotic replacements.

I broke my lurker card when I had to comment on Critical Miss: Stowaways #2

Buster rank...6!?

It was for a "You X your avatar" thread, this time being X=Killed. Good times.

 

[Sandytimeman]

Darn that was an amazing video! I can't wait to see more. I really enjoyed the Cooking Mama jokes the best. Simple short and funny as hell. The rest were...okie. Keep at it please!

My first ever post...I'm sad that series never took off either.

 

[SilentFlames26]

I'm not really all that happy with 1.8.1, but they are still gonna patch it and stuff so all bugs will be ironed out. What I can't stand is the way they are trying to shove all the new content down our throats, it seems I can't take two steps without falling it a ravine, abandoned mineshaft, river, etc, etc.

This was obviously about the string of patches made by Mojang in a very short time frame, I was not a Happy Chappie

 

[ZeZZZZevy]

It's times like this that make me happy I have an amazing metabolism. The main appeal of fast food (usually) is the low cost/low labor, which make it more appealing than the alternatives.

Although, if I remember correctly, the government is trying to make organic food less expensive, thus letting it compete with unhealthy food. Whether or not this will actually happen, or when, is anybody's guess.

Probably the most interesting thing about this was my first post was on a thread where the OP got banned by request. Never seen that caption before.

 

[Dethenger]

My first post was a response to another post, six days after my birthday. It was a thread about the Oslo shooting in July of last year.

You know, I've read the bible all the way though once

Let me tell you: No game can beat the levels of violence I found in the Old Testiment. Such as one guy getting a tent spike driven through his head. Or the task David had to do to to get married (To quote wikipedia "Saul makes David a commander over his armies and offers him his daughter Michal in marriage for bringing more than 200 foreskins of the Philistines to him" Worst. Collection. Quest. Ever.). Yeeesh.

Actually, he was only supposed to bring 100. He brought 200 for shits and giggles.

I'd have to say these would be some of the best for me, a lot of them have been aforementioned if not all.

Final fantasy I+II dawn of souls (first game i ever owned for gba )
the legacy of goku games(including buu's fury)
Metroid fusion
the Golden sun series
The pokemon series

There were others but these are the most prominent.

Well there you go. i was jabbering about my favourite GBA games.

I still stand by those choices. those are some good games. actually, this reminds me, one of my mooch friends probably still has my Buu's fury game. if he managed to lose it i will not be amused.
