A FPS console game comes out that draws from the classic FPS style of the 90s PC games and is one of the most innovative FPS console games in years offering more then just "shoot enemy soldiers" and creating an atmosphere, story, lore, and feeling of exploration. It wasn't flawless, it had issues, but on a whole a poo poo ton of people loved the game and it was regarded as the best game of the year by many. Bioshock came out in 2007. You posted this in 2015.

I just read through that whole thread. Man, there's nothing so perfect as an e/n thread where the OP goes "You know what, guys? You're right. I'm gonna go do the right thing like you've all been telling me and get everything straightened out. I'll do it tomorrow!" And then the OP never posts again.

Every single thread is either someone who does not comprehend how normal human relationships work or someone so far into the depths of batshit crazy that people are sure its fake until it turns out to be true. Plus, there's always goons who married and then get into hilarious lovely situations like that guy from BFC who's wife coerced him into buying a house they couldn't afford then tricked him into getting her pregnant and his budget proposals were hilariously hosed up with like $2k a month for luxuries and him barely paying the bills.

Look I know that Bioshock meant a lot to you when you first played it at 13 but you need to have some perspective here. Much like Halo and Quake and Goldeneye and Half-Life and Doom, Bioshock is depressingly adolescent. It really did streamline everything it could from System Shock 2. The only real design coup it made was that for the first time developers decided to fuse the nerd poo poo of an underwater and vaguely steampunk aesthetic with some legitimate artistic stylings like art deco, and the graphical capability of the video game systems it ran on could finally support such an aesthetic without looking like poo poo. Couple that with a surface level commentary on Ayn Rand and a nice twist about player agency and it's no wonder that it blew the minds of teenagers everywhere. But it's not that great a game in the end. It's a bog-standard content muncher that looks and feels a lot prettier than the Gen-X washout aesthetics gamers had been used to for 15 years. It's not some snobby opinion to recognize this. I do and I still like Bioshock a really great deal and recognize its importance in gaming history, but if you like it and aren't willing to do a Google 101 search on its influences and history and realize its place then that's on you, not mean-hearted video gamers.

AnonSpore posted:There lived in Games lots of ill goons Chichevache posted:Link to the thread please. This sounds incredible. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3470495 It got hilarious when, as a defense against getting a divorce zaurg turned into a smug rear end in a top hat about "oh yeah, divorce, totally a good idea, not like that wouldn't mess up my daughter a ton. great idea assholes" quote:Easier to agree than tell her no? With this one, both are very hard. Both suck at this point. Upbeat - no. I was upbeat about finances a short while ago when the spreadsheet said I could be debt free in less than 5 years and all these possibilities started roaming around in my head about options we could take... pay off part of debt... then save... pay off all debt... save like mad... buy a house for cash in less than 10 years, etc. All options that sounded amazing if it wasn't for wife hating where we live. quote:Quite stressful and the wife is not taking my decision as well as I'd hoped. Doesn't sound like our relationship will survive this and the threat made of her moving out of state with my daughter has me a little freaked out - but I honestly think that was just her expressing frustration and anger and would not do something like that. quote:Now I have to divorce my wife. Daughter is 2 years old and will no longer live with her daddy and mommy. But hey my net worth will be better. Oh wait, no it won't. quote:Hahaha oh man I forgot about that one, that was my sister's wedding. We stayed in the same hotel room. We had our daughter stay with grandma in a different room so we could have a room to ourselves. But then we rented hotel porn and didn't have any sex. quote:Had the most awesome sex last night. Seriously probably the best in the past 2 years. Didn't even use any of the porn, sex toys, or lube. Stuck to the plan of handling getting daughter to bed, set up some candles, poured her some chilled wine, and I am so surprised about how smoothly it went. Wasn't weird or awkward or anything like I had been thinking it might be after a 5 month hiatus. I think some renewed confidence helped me a lot. Zaurg's sound financial plan posted:This is embarrassing. quote:She explained to me in detail how hurt she was and how she acted in haste, she was furious, she was lashing out, etc. and that she shouldn't have and any of her references to taking our daughter was just a result of that anger and not based on something she'd realistically do. quote:Taking my daughter away from her mom = the best. You guys are psycho! quote:From that point on, is in big question. Wife literally balked at the idea of living here for an ADDITIONAL 6 MONTHS after child is born to save more to buy a house. I just don't see how this is going to work, other than me just holding my ground, making this place more livable, and her just living with it.

scary ghost dog posted:me (watching a man struggle to maintain his relationship with his wife with the hope that their daughter grows up in a financially and emotionally stable household): wtf? wheres the action? where's the imagination? doesnt he know if he leaves her he can live the glorious goon bachelor lifestyle Zaurg's story is the Greatest Story. It is better than any store ever told, except maybe the Bible, and Die Hard. Fleeing that marriage was 100%, completely, totally, without a doubt, in all ways the correct thing to do, and it had nothing to do with a "glorious goon bachelor lifestyle." I wish there was some follow-up to Zaurg's saga. I want closure, like the time that selfish twat decided to get an aggressive, specialized-breed dog to eat her infant child, and she treated everyone who told her not to as if they were drooling morons with too many chromosomes. Then, someone dug up her posts on another forum: "Help! My aggressive, specialized-breed dog keeps trying to eat my infant child." That was great. I am honestly a little surprised someone didn't track Zaurg down and gently caress up his life (more). The internet is the worst about that poo poo. Every time someone brings up Zaurg, I expect it to either be that, or that some Finnish performance artist has finally stepped forward to take credit. Edit: I was probably past thirty when I first played Bioshock, and I loved it. Centripetal Horse has a new favorite as of 13:16 on Apr 6, 2015 |

This was the old post that made Mean Bean Machine got so mad he got probated, by the way.Jenny Angel posted:It's also explicitly a D&D campaign, as confirmed by a Justin Lin interview posted some pages ago. The order in which I saw the movies was 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and going from 5 to 1 I was floored by how low-key everything was. But it's about escalation. Dom Toretto in Furious 6 is not the same person as Dom Toretto in TF&TF because he's leveled up from like 5 to 20-something. And there are things that are necessary to the process of leveling that far. There's the continuing growth and harmony of the adventuring party/family, and the acquisition and use of magic items/cars. Cars are not just a thing you drive fast in this series (Though it's kinda hilarious how there's the additional parallel of broadening scope of items. In TF&TF, the cars are super important but they don't really do much. They drive exclusively in straight lines, often badly, because these are just +2 Cars compared to the +5 Vorpal Holy Avenger Cars we get later).
