THIS THREAD IS DEPRESSING!!

GET OFF MY LAWN!

I recently went to my aunts house and had a twilight Saga Marathon day, complete with red velvet cookies. Y'know, in the right mindset, the movies become bad in a hilarious sense.

And that last fight scene, oh gosh that was good.

Fun fact: The original game is called "Duke Nukum".

Extra Fun Fact: It was spelled that way in the first one because at the time there was a licensing conflict with "Captain Planet".

Over the weekend I started playing through Doom 3 again kinda just because, kinda because I want to actually finish Resurrection of Evil this time instead of stopping because I severely fucked up the final boss fight last time. Every other time I've tried to do this in the past I've barely made it past a certain part of the game before getting bored and stopping, I finally made it past that bit and now have high hopes of actually continuing on this time.

But hating on stuff and being a cynical **** is what makes me happy.
Why are you trying to take away my simple pleasures in life? Have you no decency?

Spoiler

Over the last 8 months, I've had a really fun time:

• 
  In September, my ex-girlfriend broke up with me 2 weeks before our 9th anniversary, and blamed me for it... she'd cheated on me with a mutual acquaintance for 4 years.
  
  My van blew a rod in the middle of traffic, and I had to scramble for a replacement, at a cost of $4,000.
  The girl I fell into a relationship with threw me out on December 30th 2012, after we'd had numerous discussions about "making decisions as a couple", and I'd spent about $4,000 making sure all our bills were paid off, so we could start the new year on a strong financial footing.
  Over the course of the relationship, I probably spent about $8,000 on things like "our bills", vet bills, groceries, and the like.
  This ex was also out on the town with a new guy within a week of not only kicking me out, but of asking me to pay her mortgage, so her and her 2 younger children wouldn't end up homeless.
  Her son and niece also LOST MY CAT while I was working out of town and had trusted them to house-sit for me; someone also stole my GPS from my house during that period.
  For the last 2 months, my ex has been blogging about what a douche I am, and telling people the same, and all of the mutual friends keep telling me to "be the bigger person", so I don't hand her ammunition; while she runs loose, giving her side of the tale, in which she's utterly blame-free.
  
  I was struck in the head with an axe at work about a month ago, and was back to work, the next day.
  I backed my van into the corner of a 53' trailer on Friday morning, and broke the rear window.
  My van desperately needs a tune-up.
  In the last 2 months, I've been unable to get a full 80-hour paycheck, due to a combination of weather and a general slow-down at work.
  I got fired this morning, because of an altercation at work that occurred because an abrasive co-worker decided to be a dick on Friday, right after I broke the rear window of my van.
  I has about $4,000 of room on my line of credit before I'm heading into bankruptcy.
  I can barely afford to pay for gas, let alone food.

Yeah. Oh, and no one appears to be willing to find something truly funny to cheer me up that doesn't involve ponies or anime.

i... just. what the fuck? axe to the head?

and that all about one single ex girl. and why should you pay for ex girlfriends kids? are they yours? can she pump the dude she's been pumping the whole time?

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

I'm an industrial roofer, so sometimes an axe is required to chop up existing roof before removal. I was apparently too close to the guy doing the chopping, and his swing clipped me in the top of the skull.

The reason I paid those bills was because I'm evidently a sucker, and I believed that the relationship was worth the time/effort/money; I honestly loved her, and I was willing to accept her and her children as my own. Silly me, I guess.

Just a few more days and I can finally get my mitts on Sim City.
In the mean time I'm working my way through Mass Effect 3 again.

You're right Vault101. This place has been pissing me off as of late. With all the fucking nay saying.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

It's quite easy to stay away from depressing threads you know.

Anyway, I have nothing great or terrible going on in my life right now.

The best news I got lately was that my rent costs were going down by £90 per month. Awesome.

 

[Asuka Soryu]

I always watch this when I'm feeling... blue.

You aren't allowed to say that! Using the C word is worse than genocide and slavery and standing on lego combined. At least that's what I heard from a guy. He was a bit of a **** though.

Good things, good things... errrr. Ooooh, latest games I've bought; System Shock 2, Darksiders 2, Mass Effect 3. Loved them all. Especially Darksiders 2, though it does lose marks for losing it's Mark. There's no Luke Skywalker.

Also I get to find out about a PhD that I have been waiting to hear for the past 6 months on later this month. It'd be nice if they said yes, but a simple no is also better than the endless waiting.

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Spring 2013 anime season is going to be AWESOME!

Funimation is probably going to distribute Evangelion 3.0 some time this year!

Madoka Magica The Movie Part III will be released in the Fall!

And where there is Madoka, Moaning Less-Q must be nearby...

 

[The Night Angel]

Good thing: Yesterday I went along to my university's Spanish society sangria night (I feel I should show up to the society's events sometimes, what with me being on the committee and all... ). Anyhoo, this Spanish guy I know, from his involvement with the society from time to time, brought his cousin (who happened to be fairly attractive) and I spent the night chatting with her, and she was genuinely disappointed to discover I'm not single.... so you know.... nice confidence booster and all that (I could do with more of those, to be honest).
Other good thing: The alcohol at the event was free for me, being a committee member and all

 

[BeeGeenie]

Has everyone seen Wreck It Ralph yet?

You should. It's good.

 

[Atmos Duality]

I do agree that the negative element has been near overwhelming, especially in the last year - year and a half.
The only real positive thing to happen to me lately is...I guess I got a workout wielding my cast iron shovel for 2 hours yesterday.

Aside: *sigh* Captchas...popping up after I click post.

 

[marioruggerio]

YES! A THREAD TO BE HAPPY ON!!!! I just finished the new mass effect 3 dlc! It was really fun. I hope you all have a great day =)

I hated the new DmC and how the developers basically didn't so much as understand what PR meant snd instead adopted a definition from a parallel dimension in which PR means antagonising people and making yourself hated as much as possible. Then there is their absolute butchering of original characters, themes and Gameplay into an inferior product while making a 13 year fanfic author wrote the plot.

It was at this point i instead decided to take my business to Platinum Games and Hideo Kojima by purchasing Metal Gear Rising instead.

Metal Gear Rising is fucking amazing on almost all fronts, albeit with a few faults, but i am enjoying myself alot and think that it is a great game. I also managed to get the Grey Fox skin with it due to being Australian and getting a copy of it a bit earlier..and this made my inner nine year old incredibly happy to finally be able to play a full game as Grey Fox. My inner Metal Gear Fanboy was also pleased with this game despite the genre shift as, simply put, it's just plain fun.

So yeah, go play Metal Gear Rising if you havn't yet.

I'm a 27 year old single dude.

I live on my own. I have a nice job. I'm looking at buying a place of my own (home ownership bitches!). I have the disposable income to feed my addicting video game habit (not as much as I'd like but enough to get me through without getting the shakes). I'm right now watching Season 2 of "Game Of Thrones" and am just as happy with it so far as I was with Season 1. I've lost 50 pounds since I graduated from college.

Basically, once I can convince a lady to show me her boobies on a regular basis, my life will be perfect (and PsychicTaco115 already agreed to be my wing-man so it won't take long). Everyone be jealous of Tippy2K2!

This is probably one of the most positive (it isn't sarcastic or total BS)posts I have ever read on the Escapist. Good on ya mate!

 

[DanDeFool]

Bizarre in-jokes are my refuge from cynicism and depression.

Like this one:

<youtube=QwIDiJ_zd_k>

That someone would take time out of their day to make something so silly and so wonderful makes me a happy man.

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

Well with spring break just around the corner i'm planning to pick up the new Ultimate Ninja Storm game for the weekend. Then probably gonna gather up some friends, get a bit of alcohol and circle between Naruto, Mortal Kombat, and Tekken Tag 2.

Fun times ahead!
