So what have you been up to?

I've been out of the loop for the past two years. I want each and every one of you to tell me what you've been doing since I... went away. List form, preferably.

- Moved a few times. Currently live in Toronto.
- Lived in downtown Vancouver during the Olympics.
- Held a watch that cost more than I make in a year.
- Went to LA for E3.
- Went to Pac-Man's 30th Anniversary party and got a backpack and a water bottle.
- Tried scotch for the first time.
- Bought a PSP but it BROKE after less than a year.
- Met JKTrix, finally.
- Met a guy who used to hang with that Saudi Arabian prince dude who killed his servant/boyfriend in the UK.
- Saw a guy with an iguana on his shoulder.
- Lurked around NeoGAF. And then started posting all the time on NeoGAF.
- Made a bunch of hilarious jokes.
- Some other stuff I don't remember.

So, how about you? Loop me in.

What's happened in my personal life in the past two years?

-I'm still single (though I'm working on fixing that).
-I'm a bit worried that I missed my blood donor appointment, since I remember scheduling one this month, but I haven't got any calls reminding me of it.
-I'm stuck on Pokemon Black because I can't find my way around this insanely huge city that must be something like 6 Cerulean Cities by 6 Cerulean Cities (I'm not exaggerating, in fact it's probably even bigger). At least I caught the ganster crocodile I wanted on my team, but I still can't get that green and black dragon or the fire candle.
-I'm kind of stuck on chapter 7 of FE4, but not so much since I found out that Balmung makes dealing with the enemies so much easier. Too bad I can't say the same for Leaf's group.
-I've been power levelling in DQIX, though for what, I don't exactly know. I suppose it's for the level 80 and higher grottoes as well as the Legacy Boss Grottoes.
-I've been thinking of getting one of either Donkey Kong Country Returns or Kirby's Epic Yarn, though I'm not sure which one to choose.

Anyway, this is one of the things I've been up to in the last 2 years. Last few weeks more like. Before that I did nothing. Absolutely nothing. A few days ago I was wondering why you didn't have a trophy set for Megaman 10, but then I figured you probably bought it for the wii.

Yeah, I usually like to get the PS3 versions of the few games that are on both PS3 and Wii, but I

On the rare occasion a game comes out on both the Wii and PS3, I usually like to get the PS3 version, but I already had the Wii version of 9 and 1-4 on the Virtual Console so I figured I might as well keep going on there. :P Totally beat it on Hard, though.

- As soon as you got banned, I started manipulating my way into a staff position and
- succeeded pretty quickly by pretending to be nice and helpful - those suckers bought it without question. I did this so that I could
- put my plan into action, which was to start going through your posts and edit each one to have bad spelling and grammar, and
- some of them to say "I am poo". Ha ha ha!
- A week ago or so, I noticed that it was almost time for you to be allowed back in case you asked, so I
- went through them again and edited them back. In the meantime, we have all been
- laughing at your previous posts! Oh, what a hoot it was.

Good to see you Roto --Certainly one of the few remaining familiar faces 'round here for me. I myself have been on something of a 1-2 year hiatus from EoFF. Let's see...

- officially dropped out of college due to dogged indecision and lack of funds
- became a nasm certified physical trainer
- fell out of grace with and severed ties with my best friend of six years (since HS)
- made some new friends (a milestone for me)
- got laid
- have been a dependable stand-in for the role "mildy creepy twenty-something guy getting drunk alone in a bar"
- started my own science/religion/anything-I-feel-like-posting blog
- met Richard Dawkins at a lecture over his latest book
- largely shifted my focus away from videogames and more towards knowledge and reading ( most harrowingly foregoing my love for rpgs ... they just take up too much time. I got about halfway through FFXIII before relinquishing my attention to more pressing issues. I was enjoying my playthrough however short-lived it was; seemed worthy of the Final Fantasy name ... unlike its immediate predecessor.)

...yeah, all in all I've seen better times.
11-11-2010, 01:24 AM
KentaRawr!

You know, Roto, I've been thinking lately.

You really should play Metroid games. Metroid: Other M is supremely linear. There's no way you could get lost. The same is true for Metroid Fusion, and although Metroid Zero Mission isn't linear, you are very easily led to statues that tell you exactly where to go. The Metroid Prime games lead you along a lot, too, although Metroid Prime 3 is easily the most linear out of those three just because you're always getting commands via radio, and Primes 1 and 2 have hint systems if the game can tell that you're hopelessly lost. I think you just got turned off by Super Metroid and Metroid 2's open gameplay. Although, in some ways, Metroid 2 was really pretty linear, too. I mean, you just had to kill all the Metroids in a certain area and then move on to the next one. Then just consider the upgrades you've obtained to figure out how to get to the next place. But, you still need the will to adventure if you're going to play that, I think.

But yeah, most of the Metroid games out right now are hard to get lost in. Go play them. Start with Other M for maximum not-able-to-get-lost-ness.
11-11-2010, 01:27 AM
Roto13

I've never liked Castleroid games and I'm probably not going to start liking them any time soon. :P I might pick up Other M sometime, though, since it's apparently incredibly linear.
11-11-2010, 01:35 PM
KentaRawr!

If you're going the right way, the doors lock behind you. If you go the wrong way--

Wait, there is no wrong way. :mad2:

Edit: And you should definitely try out Metroid Prime 3. It's only slightly less linear, really.

Okay, not much of any importance to report about:

- Finally got a job I have been able to endure, and I am still enduring it, which is quite a feat considering my track record.

- Turned up my work-out schedule, and got quite buff and according to some, frightfully skinny.

- Oh, I finally managed to crawl my way back here after four years, which I am grateful for. I missed a lot of you guys.

I grin at how painfully blasé my life is at times.

I cooked for Caesar Millan from the Dog Whisperer yesterday. He drank two glasses of wine at 11 in the morning, had two bowls of my homemade chili with 4 over medium eggs and signed our menu.

I asked him about my mom's dog who is ridiculously stupid and he said in these exact words, "Maybe it's not the dog who's stupid, but the owners own neglect which is a reflection of the dogs stupidity." I agreed with him wholeheartedly.

Good guy.
