I beg to differ. I was trying to have a relaxing bath with bubbles, candles, and a good book one night. I slipped, the book fell into the water, and was pretty much ruined after that. -_-

Granted, it could still be read...sort of. And the best part? No electrocution. lol


Meh, I've tried to use those ereaders and stuff. It mostly gives me a headache. I downloaded a bunch of novels I've never read cause it's just not the same.

reading causes strain regardless, but it's probably safer to read from a book. These bright screens and colors.......................:smt010

I actually read somewhere that it's supposed to be easiest on the eyes to read bright words on a dark screen. It was in some computer nerd magazine I read a few years ago. I think it was supposed to translate into print, too, the whole light words on a dark background thing. I dunno. It certainly feels better on the eyes, I've noticed.

It's definitely more comfortable to curl up in bed with a book versus a computer screen, imo. lol if I fall asleep and roll over on the book I'm not out hundreds of dollars or cursed to reading through a broken lcd

yo that game was the SHIT

my cousin had that and we all used to gather around and bang it

that and 'Hercs Adventures'

this idiot would go to blockbuster and rent that every week, i kid you not.

I tried convincing him to buy it, but he just refused and kept renting (and returning late which = late fee)

I did the same thing with Bebe's Kids. I rented that novie probably 25 times, literally. I would go there every time and the dude there would be like "Again?"

I watched it so much that the tape broke in my VCR and also fucked my VCR up. I go to the video store the next day with half the tape hanging out the casing.

Parappa was my shit, but damn if I didn't suck. The soundtrack was on point, though.


I also used to rent the Six-Pack for the Sega Genesis all the time. It had Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Shinobi, Hang On, Columns and Sonic the Hedgehog. Sweetest deal ever.
 
lol

streets of rage had the BEST soundtrack

whatever happened to fighting games like that



they got silly when they made like part 3 and 4 tho

For real. Yuzo Koshiro KILLED that soundtrack. Dude has made some sick music for video games. I play a few tracks from SOR every day. Shit has never gotten old after all these years.

But yeah, part 3 was kinda wack. The soundtrack was whatever and it was just not that great of a game. I wanted to play as the gay character but they removed him in the US version. :smt042

We need the beat 'em up genre to make a comeback. Enough of this instrument, dance, color coordination shit.

streets of rage 2 was the first game, that i can remember, that introduced strength/physics. If you tried to throw a bigman as Axel, he would end up falling on top of you. If you used the big Mike Hagger ripoff (final fight fans know him), you would be able to throw anyone. I liked that aspect, as it made the game quasi-realistic.

these games now, anyone can throw anybody, and that's just not right, especially when you factor in size, strength, and amount of pull/push you need for the technique.

SOR 1 had the strength factor in it too a little.

The fat guy in the 4th level couldn't be throw by anyone, but everybody else in the game could be.


I liked fighting as Max(Haggard rip-off) cause he could grapple somebody and take their whol life bar down most of the time but damn if we wasn't slow.


Skate was my favorite character cause he was fast as hell. He could dash and I loved that behind the back head pummel thing he did.

Also, I liked how SOR 2 had the special moves and replaced the whole napalm assistance thing in the first one. Nice balance too. You would use up life if you used it.

But yeah, most game don't factor in physics n' shit. Virtua Fighter does, though. bigger characters don't float as easily, making harder for juggle combos.

seriously

I remember trying to throw dudes on some cock-diesel shit, because that works in EVERY game out there. Then he fell on me, lol.

that's how a real fight is tho. You're not going to bodyslam someone twice you size, unless you're this mothafucka

:smt005:smt005:smt005:smt005 For real. That Hulk Hogan vs. Andrae the Giant shit ain't gonna work how you think. Hogan damn near collapsed after that shit.

Ain't no mufucka gonna pic up Yokozuna and powerbomb his ass. Let Rey Meysterio try a hurricaneranna on his ass. It'll be like throwing a cabbage pathc kids doll at him.

from my experience, the ones sleeping on the desk, were the ones called upon.

that's like the best exampling of 'punking' someone

'yeah i know you were asleep and didn't hear what I had to say, but i'm going to ask you to recall my lecture anyway'

Yeah usually that's the case. This quote made me think of my son in 10th grade. He'd take his i-pod into his math class & sleep the entire time & he was pretty much left alone. The teacher complained to me about it all the time, but he never got on him about it. Somehow the little shit passed the class, but I still haven't figured out how.

I remember my senior year in economics class a group of us sat in the back of the room playing spades all the time. The coach "teaching" the class used to look at us like we were crazy but he left us alone.

I guess some teachers don't really give a shit.

They were usually the most fun. This particular guy was new to teaching & he was kinda goofy; most of the time he looked like he didn't know why he was there. The girls loved him though & he knew it. We used to laugh at how he tried to show off his butt all the time by bending over in front of the class when he'd 'drop' something or throw something away. You could see him looking out of the corner of his eye to see if anyone was checking him out. Some of my favorite teachers were coaches (male coaches anyway cuz most of the female coaches tended to be bitches).

Yup, back in middle school n' shit, if you fell asleep while we were reading, you'd get called upon to read and you'd be scrambling like a muthafucka to find page 97 and find the right paragraph......you would lose points. Shit.

lol i know that's right. i remember getting banged like a knucklehead a few times, with that. Sometimes my book wouldn't even be open, or I wouldn't be following along with the class. and i'm talking about Penn State U.

:p

Reading Drama or something like that. remember being in a small class, around 20 students, and having everyone read from a play. after playing halo all night with your roommates, it's tough to stay focused.

:rolleyes:
