How has boosting GFs affected your personal life?

[Shoeberto]

Has the rapid pressing of the square button in order to boost your GF's damage helped to increase your skills in any other areas? Do you have any particular techniques for boosting which you would like to share?

Masturbation.

[TurkSlayer]

I can now masturbate three times faster.

EDIT: Damn it PiP...

[rubah]

I prefer to wedge the controller between my left hand and my chin, and boost with my middle finger. It seems to work better.

I have not applied this method to my personal life however.

[-N-]

Well, I guess you can close this now, Hsu you filthy spammer.

Neel, I will always love you.

Hmm.

[Mitch]

it helps me wet myself

[Shoeberto]

I'd prefer if you would all keep this thread clean, thanks.

[Foetus In Fetu]

It helps me win thumb wars.

[Prancing Mad]

Really helps with mario party 6. Good ol' flower growing game.

[Slade]

Thumb transplants.

[Psychotic]

I can nuke countries 10 times faster by hammering the little red button.

My favourite boost technique is a party piece. Basically it involves using the tongue, although I don't want to give too many of my tricks away.

[SammieBabe]

It helps me win thumb wars.

Exactly.

[Neco Arc]

It helps me win wars.

[Creeping Shadow]

helps me in all mario party games that involve rapid button pressing.

none of my friends stand a chance:D

[Megalixir]

i dont use gfs :(

[Mittopotahis]

Because of Boosting my GF's, all my light bulbs in my house are blown.

[Markus. D]

I err.... call shops....

[Xaven]

My bicep is too sore to do anything.

[HowlingMonkey]

Masturbation.

Dude. I don't want to know how you masturbate then.

[The-Last-Nemesis]

Dude. I don't want to know how you masturbate then.

=\ Exactly...

[Qurange]

It's made me marginally better at that drinking contest mini-minigame in Chrono Trigger.

Also, it's probably accelerated my decline into carpal tunnel syndrome.

[rubah]

=\ Exactly...
It makes more sense than you'd imagine.

[Laugh at face of Danger]

my social life is at an all time low now, i only have a stump instead of an index finger on my right hand, so that's pretty bad

from time to time i might shout "SQUARE!" but that's not as bad as yelling "LIONHEART!" in the middle of the street

~ also helps in that push up thingy game in 7 *growl*

[HowlingMonkey]

It makes more sense than you'd imagine.

Not from what I've seen of the male anatomy...

[rubah]

Ew, hsu said to keep this thread clean you know ^_^

and just because pip is a boy doesn't mean that EVERYONE is.

[Necronopticous]

It has helped me to drink more soda at the Millenial Fair.

[HowlingMonkey]

and just because pip is a boy doesn't mean that EVERYONE is.

Being a girl, I would firmly know about the female anatomy too. But I refuse to drag this post any further into depravity.

[Primus Inter Pares]

Dude. I don't want to know how you masturbate then.
Well, with all the girls fantasising about it, someone is bound to want to know.

Is this is a serious thread?

[~SapphireStar~]

Boost has given me many sore thumbs and clicking thumb bones in the past. Almost blistered ... damm square button!

[Zeromus_X]

stippling isnt such a chore. :cat:

[blackmage_nuke]

its helped me play piano?

[rubah]

I don't see why you guys boost with your thumbs.

It's much more effective to use, say, your middle finger.

[~SapphireStar~]

Its how you hold the control pad. My thumb is closer to the square button when Im holding the pad, hence the reason I use it.

[SeeDRankLou]

I hold the controller with my left hand and put my right index finger on the square button. I then make my right arm very tense, which causes it to shake. When positioned correctly, I start pressing the square button insanely fast. It starts to become sore after a while, which leads to my next strategy.

I take the turbo controller, which I bought sometimes during like my second playthrough of this game, I set the turbo mode to holding down the square button, and I then hold down the square button until it tells me not to. Yep, I've gotten Quezacotl up to like 230 before. But alas, my turbo controller is out of commission and I must use to first strategy (or not summon GFs).

The only thing this really did for me was sharpen my reaction skills a little.

[Discord]

I now know that if you take an electric toothbrush, remove the brush and put it next on the button, you can beat any enemy in any game that requires quick pressing on the same button.

Just because you wear a shirt on your body doesn't mean you can't take it off to try to help your friend not fall off a cliff.

Dead serious.
This is the internet, after all.

[nik0tine]

Boosting. Serious business.

[w2hunter]

is this serius after useing boost so many times my fingers are so strong i killed a man with my pointer finger!

[Shoeberto]

Boosting. Serious business.
That's why you're my number one guy.

[-N-]

You're still a filthy spammer. <3

[MortalKitten]

I always go to boost my summons in FF7 now..

[kikimm]

I hold the controller with my left hand and put my right index finger on the square button. I then make my right arm very tense, which causes it to shake. When positioned correctly, I start pressing the square button insanely fast.

Yeha, this is what I do. And while it hurts, it's the awesomest way! Or at least, it used to hurt, when I first started boosting. I'm a tougher man now.

[rubah]

And to think b0b actually asked me why I didn't say you were one of the delicate flowery female knights.

[ScottNUMBERS]

I press the square button fast.

[Mittopotahis]

Is this is a serious thread?
This thread is so serious, I was actually amazed to see it in the FFVIII forum. This is definatly EoEO material, can a staff member move it? Thanks. :)

[Cipher]

Hmm. I actually put my thumb and forefinger together and do a sort of fast left to right motion over the square button, while holding the controller in place with my left hand.

Gets the GF boost meter up hecka fast, but on occasion I end up forgetting about that stupid red 'x', and the meter resets down to 40 or whatever it was. >.<

As for outside uses....um....? I'm able to give better noogies?

[kfcho4]

how to do boosting in PC verson

[MortalKitten]

It starts, and resets to, 75

[Mirage]

I've developed the same technique that Chipher explained. It's really fast indeed, and lets me boost early GFs to sometimes more than 200%. It has however not affected my real life in any way, except giving me callouses.

[Lost Number]

I have developed a sort of trance wherein I stare at the screen unblinking using my left forefinger to brush the button at high speeds, stopping only at reds. This can cause severe blindness during Eden.
It can raise the first 2 to about 150. It also cause severe burning pain, and in one case bleeding.

[Darth Tjador]

I sucked at boosting my GF's :mad:

[Ultima Shadow]

While summoning Shiva or Siren, I boost my pants off.

[roxy]

I boosted shiva to 134 in the first go... tis my best :)
