DMC3 Dante, hell yeah. Jump cancels for life.

so I felt like playing some jet set radio and find out that somehow my paid copy has been reversed back to trial version somehow, anyone know how to fix this? I know I could just download the activation key again but I'm only allowed 2 downloads and would like to keep it in case if my ps3 breaks or something
Is it two downloads? I'm pretty sure that's two accounts , not two downloads. You should be able to download something as much as you'd like as long as you paid for it.

Fishing Rod knows about the problem and is working on a fix. He da man.

That mock up looks like a piece of the agrocrag from nickelodeon guts.

This reply made me want to finish this project, I honestly had so much IRL work I put it on the back burner and forgot all about it.

PGR is a day one system seller for me. PGR2 is still my favorite racer of all time.

If Shenmue was released on the PlayStation 2, we'd have already seen the series properly conclude.

It was a clean and orderly dorm...

LOOKS like it should be fast, but it's going at less than walking speed over the speed bumps
Because a bone stock F40 isn't fast, or it should be able to fly over speed bumps? This statement infers one of these must be true when in fact neither are. If you see where I'm going with this, ride height has nothing to do with whether a car is or isn't fast. Most high performance vehicles crawl over speed bumps or avoid them all together, not because they lack any sort of formidable performance, but because they are out of element and not intended for such trash roads. At the end of the day it's still a vehicle and to arrive at a destination with preferable terrain, you'll sometimes need to go through unfavorable conditions. Perhaps next time you're behind one of these cars, given it isn't some cut springs shit grocery getter, you'll think of it this way. If it is the former however, you're absolutely correct.

Honestly though, when it comes to motors and engines in vehicles, we are still using pretty dated technology. I am surprised they havent found a whole other way to accelerate our vehicles, the real reason is because of gas. Gas keeps the whole auto industry on lock because they make too much money of gas and im sure gas companies are paying car companies to keep making their cars use gas. Whats so bad there is tech about right now that could not only take away our plunging of the earth and sucking it dry (super electric cars, that are actually FAST), but also tech that would allow us to take to the air to get around (flying cars have been in development for a while actually) Luckily hope seems to be on our side because there are cars in development and even out right now that use no gas at all, they really suck and its the first batch of technology that will hopefully one day flourish, but its something.

Yeah, I can definitely see electric becoming a formidable power plant someday. Just going by my R/C hobby alone, the progression has been incredible. Electric used to be laughable in comparison to nitro gas powered, though with the new brushless motors they are outperforming gas in almost every case. Similar power curves (and in some cases more powerful) with a wildly lighter chassis makes for great things. It's only a matter of time.

Nah, Peter's not crazy. While he may not have went about it in his usual manner, he put it out there without any filtering which I can respect. Ryudo, you do try to paint a lovely picture which is a way to mentally cope with your past wrong doings. I will say that you've stabilize to some degree and we can all appreciate that, though it doesn't change anything.

For the record, painting the picture of stepping down is just wrong and you know it. Let's be honest about what happened here. You de-modded yourself before I could see the tirade and hit the button. This was done to imitate some form of choice, but there actually was none. You didn't step down, you were demoted and rightfully so. You'll never have the option to return as staff, ever.

As for trying too hard to gain respect, it's not something that Peter is making up. I've heard it from upwards of ten or so members. You've done this since your tirade to come off as a changed person, such as flaunting donations, "good" choices, etc. I hope you have changed, but for yourself and nobody else.

Some of your posts are border line de-railing, substantially written or not. Various members (mainly thread authors) have soft-reported your posts to me, though honestly I hadn't the chance to go through them all until now. You post in just about every topic for the sake of posting, even with little to nothing to add to the central conversation. That's not said to demerit your legitimate postings, as there are many of them. Do take notice of this though, quality > quantity. It was in the TOS after all.

Lastly, your actions were putrid and you hurt us as a community. That wasn't a fun time and I'm still wondering why I was put through the unnecessary stresses of it all. You were let back on a single strike rule (something no other admin or moderation team would have let happen), so that is on us. It was your passion for the website as a whole that allowed this along with your seemingly legitimate sorrow coupled with the willingness to change. Looking at it from your perspective, there isn't much more you can do and I wouldn't want you to beat yourself up over it.

What Peter is trying to get across is that you constantly bring up the past and paint it in a very different way. You own up to what you want to, sugar coating the rest. Nobody wants you to bring it up in a negative light to constantly beat yourself up over it either. Instead, I think the community as a whole and especially the staff want to see some genuine acceptance towards your previous actions, with the ability to look one hundred percent forward without referencing to or manipulating the past in any way. In fact, that was part of the deal in letting you back on the single strike rule that you currently abide by.

Try to see it as so. He doesn't hate your soul, he simply wants what is fair to be fair. If you are able to bend the rules, why shouldn't other members? Keep this in mind, it's not for the sake of our ourselves but your own willingness to move on.

Ryudo, it was warranted in that I have two members constantly butting heads, one being a staff member and I'd like to clarify it all once and for all. The same thing you asked me to do for you dozens of times in the past. Believe me, I don't waste a second through out my day thinking of such things, nor do I want to sit here and post about it. I do however want to keep the peace in this community as I do care about it as a whole.

The moral of it all was to accept the past and move on without referencing it every step of the way. That is actually a very positive message being conveyed and one that I'm sure you can agree with.

I love me some FFVI, but it's the new FFVII in regards to over praise. Well, maybe not entirely, both titles after all deserve their respective praise. Though I feel FFV is overlooked and is so incredibly amazing. Always have a soft spot for it.

Sleep. After 40hrs without any, it felt damn good.

I'm sure a lot of racists raped their victims before they killed them. Must be love.

I don't think the staff banned you because of that, after all we gave a one strike new chance to every single member who was on the ban list. That was my call by the way and a way to show fairness and a fresh start for the site when I took over. A great amount of those people came back and it worked out quite well. I could look it up, but you were banned for a significant reason. Further violating the TOS by creating countless accounts doesn't help your case, a simple e-mail to the staff would have sufficed versus this public spectacle.

Use this thread to post random thoughts through out your day!

Simple tidbits are what this thread is for, not general conversation. Taken straight from the TOS:

New topics deserve new threads. For example, if you have something excruciatingly short to say, it could and should be posted in the random thoughts thread. If it is anything of value, no matter how small, create a topic. Many conversations have went overlooked because they are crammed inside pages of other conversation. This also helps boost forum activity and order.

With that, post away!

YYeeeeeeeahhh bbboiiiii

Didn't realize you made this thread Ryudo. Anyone who knows me knows that TWD comic is more or less my favorite series of any medium. I take the show as homage to the comic, nothing more.

Anyhow, here's my take on the finale: Mediocre to poor. Most of what occurred could have and should have happened mid-season. Too many filmography cliches to even take seriously, mainly Andrea's scene. I'll start with the good and work my way to the bad.

[Spoilers Incoming]

On the positive side of things, the Governor finally solidified himself as a formidable villain. No longer did he seem like a schizophrenic politician, but instead a cold blooded psychopath. It's nice to see Tyreese understand the severity of what is going on, finally. One point I like, to an extent, is that the series is different enough from it's source material that I can't imagine what is coming next.

As for the poor side of things. Everything mentioned in regards to positive factors should have happened already, it felt stretched instead of fleshed. The ending wasn't conclusive nor a cliff hanger, instead it felt more like limbo. That is the absolute worst thing to do before an extended break in programming. This seems to be a series trend from the second season onward. Mind you, I didn't hate the search for Sophia but let's put things into perspective. With Frank Darabont on board, we had an amazing six episode season one. It was riveting and even featured welcomed plot additions such as TS-19. The following six episodes without Frank had us looking for Sophia, nothing more. This is the difference in quality and we've been seeing a lot more of the latter than the former. Granted season three was much improved, but the improvements were almost all direct rips from the source material, any new additions almost entirely flopped.

The death of Andrea wasn't even shocking, it was necessary. The writing almost force fed this event. It's a shame it happened when she finally came to her senses. The end result is viewers dealing with a dunce for an entire season and seeing the death of a suddenly meaningful character. More or less, we never were able to experience Andrea as intended, entirely in part to poor writing.

Straying from the source material to make improvements and change up scenarios is a great thing, it keeps us all alert and interested. Butchering the material and literally slaughtering some of the most memorable moments however is despicable. Instead of countless dramatic events unfolding, group chaos and the feverish battle to find refuge... we received a bus of elderly people, more neutered prison and The Governor roaming about begging to be milked just a bit more.

Seriously speaking here, despite it's flaws I still love the show simply because of what it's based on. That said, I take it as homage which is what it is. I will however say this is the episode that completely confirmed it's worth in comparison to the long lasting comic. Preference aside, a certain degree of quality can be accurately depicted and properly judged. Thanks entirely in part to some lackluster writing, I can honestly say the show doesn't reach the same level of quality as the comic. At this point in both series, it's amazing just how much more has happened at a tangible pace in the comic. There is build up and then there is dragging a plot point in the mud, the show has done the latter and the upcoming break from programming is not going to help that notion.

With all of that said, I'll be there in October full of anticipation because there is still so much good in the series to be had. I'm actually very excited to see where they're going with it, seeing as the finale strayed so much from the source material, for better or worse. However I will say, it's easy to forgive the TV series whilst being continually impressed by the comic nearly every month.

Look at this guy, going after my Phantasia loving heart.

Going to another universe to learn how to move a 20lb rock also wasn't my favorite thing to do.

Literal roffles.

Not sure that'll support anything but a private seller.

ToS is a great game with an insanely fun battle system. If you don't like spell cancelling with Sheena you lack testosterone. Not everything needs to reinvent the wheel to be considered solid and enjoyable. Segata is right though, it does have some cliches and minor system flaws. Of course, that's not what makes the game shine otherwise it wouldn't have been touted as such.
Why do all "hardcore" Resi fans insist on calling it Biohazard? Sure, it makes more sense at this point for the series to be called that, but most who call it that aren't even from Japan... We may as well start calling Shenmue シェンムー...
Because it actually makes sense.

More or less. In addition, we have the Random Thoughts Thread for lazy quickies, so it's not like the option won't be there. Honestly, there isn't anything in those threads that couldn't A) be in the random thoughts thread or isn't B) deserving of a topic.

A lot of news worthy posts have been slipped under the rug due to poor categorizing and being lost in cluttered threads. We're doing away with this idea and moving on to a more active nature that allows users to participate easily.

DO NOT BE AFRAID TO CREATE NEW THREADS

I wish the gaming one was not locked. as I don't want to create a new topic when I have a random thought as often they are not worth a new topic. Then be seen as spam. ugh really annoying that was locked. -_-
I'll tell you what, I'll unlock it and put up a vote in their in regards to it since it's a different forum. Just unchange your vote here as it has nothing to do with that forum.

And this is why I don't watch the show. Well, more specifically because I don't want to hate it. Which I think I will if I watch it. Thanks for the spoilers, yama.

Not sure if serious, or actually thanking my post. They were marked. :P

Finale was the only episode this season I really disliked. Like Yama said I don't know why you need a bad guy. Series was stronger without one. At least with Merle you hated that you loved him and loved that you hated him. He made the show much better. Merle can be summed up in 20 seconds.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S7uAjEUQv0
Merle is the best thing that happened to the show imho.

And that's my vid! Haha.

The problem is gaming news is posted in the thoughts thread, not only thoughts. All of this news is lost, immediately.

Read more as to why I want to make the decision, it's not going to hurt the forum it will help it.

Reply there for GG forum discussion, let's keep this one GD only.

Same here, as long as it's quick blurbs and such.

In depth conversation should be in series threads and if they don't exist, one should be made.

Post up your most recent gaming purchases. Pics or it didn't happen.

Legacy thread: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=39347

NO NO NO! Yama... stop. Just stop dude. Too much change at once. Quit tweeking on SD today, my god.
Sorry for improving the site.

Check out the other threads, 90% votes in both. I'm doing what the community wants, not just one or two of you. It's about time the majority ruled.

And relax guy, that's why I make threads with a vote and don't go ahead and do things without question (old admins much?). I actually care what everyone thinks, hence why these two forums won't be merged.

Who Really Cares? wrote: Even Yama knows not to mess with Brothaman

This is true.

And this is what I'm talking about, nobody would have saw this otherwise. Good stuff Giogio.

I propose a logical alternative
Logical? So while a thread is open for a series, we are able to post the news in a different topic instead just because? This boils down to the majority of people missing out on the news or having to post the news twice in the same exact forum. That defies all logic.

Also, conform? How is anyone conforming if they are the ones who voted for it ? :lol:

I have nothing against you man, I seriously don't. But that post is just pure passion and zero sense. Just let it go, it'll be fine.

All right, done. We can always re-open a specific thread if we find it necessary, though if we honestly give this a shot I think it'll work just fine.

I felt out of them all the purchase thread should have been left open, but it was beyond dead as is. I'm sure a big purchase is thread worthy while something small or funny could be posted in the random thoughts thread.

I'd be all kinds of in there day one.

A lot of news worthy posts have been slipped under the rug due to poor categorizing and being lost in cluttered threads. We're doing away with this idea and moving on to a more active nature that allows users to participate easily.

What I am looking into closing is the Gaming Thoughts thread and would like your feedback. A ton and I mean a ton of news is posted there, unseen by 90% of our members. These news bits deserve threads, plain and simple. If there is anything else left to say in the thread, it can be fit under a series thread, new thread (this pushes for better quality) or the now playing thread.

If this is to be closed, I will leave all of the remaining threads in GG open such as Music, Now Playing, Purchases, etc. They are specific and not detrimental to thread creation or activity. Under Now Playing however, it is for blurbs and such. We feel in depth conversation should be shifted to a series thread and if there isn't one, create it.

[DO NOT BE AFRAID TO CREATE NEW THREADS]

The same procedure is going down in GD here , though admittedly there was more to change in that forum.

Is the server being killed going to affect single player for WKC 2? I've had so much work to do I haven't had a chance to buy it, if I can't play it i might not bother.
Nah, you're good. But the online portions will be down in June. If you want, maybe later this month or next we could get on there together. Aston and I were going to play.

judge from the title whether it's worth my while opening the thread and poring over its contents.

Sounds a little pretentious. I get what you're trying to say but acting all high and mighty taking 3 seconds out of the day to click something "worth my while" just sounds pompous.
Read it that way if you want, but I don't see anything wrong with what I said. There's nothing "high and mighty" about not wanting to waste time skimming through posts on subjects I don't care about.
I see exactly what you mean and agree, nothing pretentious about it.

Good timing for this thread, I always enjoy playing some games over the summer. Despite not being home as much when the weather warms up, there is something said for throwing away a day or chillin' in at night with the windows open.

Goal wise I wanted to compete in Soul Calibur V again like I did for the second game, though the tourney scene for the game is pure butt. Beyond where I ever imagined being, so I guess I could say I've at least accomplished the big part of the picture. If something comes up and it's feasible I'd definitely attend, otherwise I'll always play the game however I can. Same for Halo 4 which I was able to win a tournament last month in, was a lot of fun.

Pure individual play, I'd like to play some White Knight Chronicles 2 before the server goes down. Definitely planning on playing some OG RPG's to boot, maybe some Phantasia or Chrono Cross. Want to do a Shenmue run for sure. Maybe do some live streams, etc. Most hyped for The Last of Us, looks like it'll be an amazing summer release and is in the same vein as TWD comic. Double win.

Some of the writing is bad like a speech given a few weeks back about when all this is written in the history books :roll:

I don't really understand. Are you mocking me and the fact that I think the writing is bad? I guess I just don't understand your comment. If it is a reference to the show, I haven't watched it since the second season began airing. Sorry...
He's not mocking you, he's saying the speech given in the episode was just corn ball.

Looks amazing. I'm in there, my Vita needs to be fed as well.
