Will never understand people...

A bj is Art. Specially a good one.

Even more so than taking a tea.

Plus, in Japan porn is really worked on, now and then.
The sights I have seen (in the opposite end of the messed up part it has).
Some japanese porn authors make porn for all the gods and angels.

My Ps3 Slim broke down...
Will have to wait for Christmas to get myself a new one...

I will go as far as to say, fuck day one overpriced on disc dlc and drm, console reliability (or rather, lack of) is the fucking worse thing that happened this generation.

Sega kicks a lot of ass these days, all things considered.

One of the few companies on the rise when the medium is shaking.

Check it, may be this one, haven't checked myself:

^He's always 'mad'.
It' saturating.
He was funny at first but now he seems such a poser.
'Uh look at my badass cooler than thou internet persona'.
Bah.

^That gives him more credibility I would argue.

No one has to, obviously.

He's harsh on words (wouldn't be himself otherwise) but I will say I agree on the fact that the cinematic quality and production values are what the Uncharted games have going for them. The series may be polished to a point but it really is pretty bare bones (concept/gameplay) when you look at it.

It has it's place and audience but the games are wrongly glorified.
Same goes for many popular titles these days: solid genre games with adrinaline ridden set pieces that get praise like if they were ground breaking or the works of geniuses.

Shenmue, the original MGS (also/or the very first Metal Gear on the MSX), the first Zelda and the first Metroid, Space Harrier, Wolfenstein 3D and all that remarkable lot are groundbreaking.

Uncharted raises the bar of the AAA games in terms of production.

Very different things.

^Ditto.

It's just fantastic.

HD port, please.

We will get it and as stiff as they were/will still be can't wait to pick'em all up.
Love Hotel here I go!

Can't wait to see what games in 4k look on my tv!!


(not mine but similar to the one i own)

^I still remember the first time I saw one of the first trailers of ZOE 2.
I memorized every line.
Went to school the next time, after seeing the trailer over and over again, and only used words and phrases of the trailer to communicate all day long, even with teachers.

I would think that anything regarding anal stimulation would be just dandy for someone with that avatar.

As for the debate, I don't have a TV, and don't care that much, really. I'm not apolitical, but I don't think the debates reveal much more than what we all already know. Besides, I long for escape; I am not one of those people who believe paradise is to be found in this world.




Very well said.

Off the top of my head I can't picture a single politian alive and in a position of power that is really meaning to change anything relevant anyway.
Serve your own interests, those of your party and those of your social/financial allies and fight for a reelection to keep doing just that.
Obama is much closer to Romney on pratical terms than most would dare believe.
We need the revolution that will never come.

The way the governments work for sustaining themselves and grow fat and bloated instead of serving the people that elect them and pay them?

Yeah, I used to live atop a nice tower...

You never fooled me.

Having an uncertain future due to things going wrong for over a year pisses me off.
Like Kenny's post, that kind of "administrative" stuff combined with doubts about future work, studying, conflicting schedules, maybe having to move again,... And all pose dilemma's where every choice is a mix of good and bad. Maybe I'll get a secretary to sort out my life?




Here you go, breast milk is perfect for a school boy.

Posters with good artwork are... well, Art.
How can people have a problem with that?

Juvenile is one's posture about life surely not what you hang on your walls?

Greetings, Shenmue Dojo.

It seems it's that time again...
I delayed it. I did.
In all honesty I don't know how I was able to freeze the clock at two minutes to midnight for aslong as I did.
But you can't run forever.
Not forever.
Not when you're going nowhere.

Yes, I am fully aware how pathetic it is to share such things in a internet forum. It always reeks of lameness and attention seeking.
I don't have anywhere else to leave such thoughts and such feelings, so please bear with me. Ignore it. Delete it if you must.

Let this be my confession, my testament, my writing on the wall...


Tomorrow I lose everything I have, again.
Everything I haven't lost yet, I mean.
A home, the worthless 'job' I had (that still payed part of the expenses), a couple of friends (the few true ones I have), my few belongings and yes, the few precious videogames and the one console I have at present.

300 euros late on the rent will turn to 500 euros late in the next two weeks.
All the money I have sums not even 40 euros.
I have nowhere to go.
Not family, not friends.
My girlfriend is heartbroken but I'm already owing her 200 euros and she just can't help me more.
My landlord is the only friend I have that would give me a hand in times of need. Yes, that's the same landlord I'm already owing 300 eur...

I just can't find more excuses to keep delaying the end of the world...

For the last couple of weeks I have been lying to everyone about still being working on the coffee where I was working for a while. I was sent away in the begging of the month but I just couldn't face the consequences of that happening when it did. I have been lying to everybody about it, namely my girlfriend and my landlord, hoping I could get a job elsewhere or get the rent money I owe some other way.
I delayed the payment time and again, and again and again, but the shame and the guilt have grown too big and my landlords' pacience as long been lost.
Plus I have no perspectives at all.
I have been delivering some resumés here and there, knocking on some doors but nothing.
Every time I look at the newspaper Portugal is deeper in the gutter. We will be the new Greece soon enough.

Ever since I turned 18 I have lacked any type of support or structure, if you know what I mean.

After being homeless for about 3 years, I have been taking precarious jobs or odd jobs, being paid under the table, because for one, I didn't had the time nor resources to look and conquer proper ones, but also because I have a huge void inside myself for aslong as I can remember that paralyses me with fear, that leads me to keep running away, running away from things I can't even name most of the time. I guess I'm talking about my past, my history, my parents, myself, fear of failure, I don't know...

I hope that I can one day repay the few people that have helped me, namely my girlfriend and that friend of mine that is currently my landlord.
I hope they will not think ill of me, I hope they don't think I'm a lier, even if I lied to them.
This is the most important thing for me right now. The only that truly matters.

I don't have a clue about what the day after tomorrow will bring for me but I hope that one day I will be able to rise again, I hope I somehow will truly find myself and conquer a chance at redemption.

I hope I will be able to get back here and have a good time with you lot.

I raise my glass for you, my friends.

I thank you for all the entertainment, all the enlightment, all the laughs.

Even when you can't get along with each other, never stop being a brotherhood.
There's nothing worse than being alone.

Cheers, everybody.

I hope I can see you around.

Your good hearted Loki,

Carlos

I lied about still being employed out of shame and guilt for having such a crappy life, just that.

I don't know if I was calling for help as in a 'raise me the funds to prevent it from happening' sort of thing.
Mostly I needed to talk with somebody.
I would not need 500 euros. 300 would be enough to get me a shaddy bedroom and hot water for a month plus enough food to survive. I don't know how we could do such a thing, nor will I beg/demand/ask whatever from you guys.
I praise your friendship and/or companionship as is.

Your out on the streets? Where are you currently sleeping?

I think we should do everything we can help darky :sad:


Found a place that lets me have unlimited internet time for 2 euros. Will try to log in more often. Yesterday I paid 2 euros for a hour.

Your thoughts alone are cherised behind this stange looking glass I'm reaching you from.

Don't trust this rumour.
Sony and Microsoft are going for a big leap, like many important figures in the industry have said themselves.
Look at the latest first party and third party tech demos for the Ps4 and X720 (they call it 'next gen demos'), and the urgency of Sony to go 4k.

^Not a good promo nor PR tactic in my opinion.

Nice depiction regardless

The Prince is a good read, regardless of the connection.
You don't seem the type that needs vidja gaymes incentives though. :p

Been very busy the past few days. I heard Peter dropped off.

What happened?
he got mad that miku got more votes than ryo and said something about shenmue being a disgrace and not worth moderating it's fan forum anymore

kidding he decided to stay with us despite that


No way!
That is truly what happened?!
Miku as nothing to do with the Shenmue community and vice versa.

Anyway, I'm sure if that is what went by he just was having a bad day and exploded.

Here's Miku for the ones that don't know her:

Ok, that last one is not hard to like. ^_^

Won Professor Layton and the Magick Mask (wrong title?) for the 3Ds on a newspaper contest.
Sold it 30 minutes afterward for 25 euros.
Thank the devil... My total money would be under 10eur today if not for it.

If you guys knew how much I have searched for a national 'win a WiiU' contest lol

Sorry, but I come in here once in a while only to check PirateMuffins avatar.

[color=#00FF80]Shenmue is special to me for all the reasons everyone has said. For me, it's the incredible music, moving story, interesting characters, and the magic realism (my favorite genre). Something I think not a lot of people mention or appreciate about Shenmue is that it was pretty much the first game (and I can't think of another since) that atmospherically created an ordinary, even mundane world, that felt realistic. And yet, there are little hints of magic that start to develop and a great ancient secret or mystery buried in that, that slowly emerges as the series progresses. [color]

If I ever could develop a man crush (I can't, contrary to some) it would be you, because of this.
One of my biggest Shenmue draws, one so rarely mentioned.

I said it many times in the past, but when Shenhua 'blows' the dandelion' seeds it's like magic is suddenly really brought to life right there in front of your eyes, it makes you believe in the magickal, thanks to the subtility of how it enters (and never, ever leaves) the world of Shenmue since the very beggining of the original game and just because of the way Yu' story handles the mystical aspect of it, so soberly, so tenderly, without excess nor lacuna.

My spirit will never rest knowing destiny awaits...

Buy as much lighters with all your money as soon as you get there!!

Far-the-well, Peter.
We will be cheering for you, not that you need it, you sentimental, tough irish lad.

Yakuza 5 demo live on JPN PSN! EDIT: It's on the 27th, sorry!!

OL, Ryan, Riku and all you lot...



On the 27th I mean. :p

As you should!

The demo features Kyriu and a new city.

That title is subject to a street brawl.

No. You lose. At life.

I swear by all things I hold sacred (only a few, to be honest) that my sense of time is so messed up that I will have to consult wikipedia several times to know what games I played this year were actually released this year.

The title says it all, really.


My first mention is on the creepy camp, and has much to do with the metaphor behind it's at first apparently messy, uninspired even, design:

SH2 story spoilers: I think it represents the abuse Angela was a victim of, as a child. The monster looks like a man investing upon a child, in a bed. The screaming mouths, almost like vaginal holes, also point to this tragic, disturbed truth.

A more tragical-comical entry, bizarre in it's own right, from Parasite Eve:

Here's a hint for your next Halloween costume, Orange:



She' starring into your very soul.
It's actually pretty (and) creepy.

Random thought: this next E3 should be huge, the best in ages, with all next gen blowing up in it's face. Surprisingly kind of excited.

Miles completing his legendary work.

Hopefully Lan Di.

Or else...
