Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I inject coffee directly into my ovum.
You're not lying, I know that much.
That's rough man, and I don't mean to downplay your experiences or anything but I've played Counterstrike and nothing compares to that experience. Sometimes I go to bed unable to feel anything, just staring blankly into the darkness, listening to the "fuk u walhaxor" and other cries of all the children I gunned down. Sometimes, I don't know why, but I would specifically aim for the children. I would hear their frail, soprano voices and I would look everywhere on the map for them and shoot them over and over while taunting them. Now, I am forced to remember all these horrible incidents. All this violence I perpetrated against children. American children. My gods, what have I done?
Better in the way that in 9 months I will have nothing to do at all with the Army. Otherwise, since being back home, people my age or generation annoy the living hell out of me. Their plights and misfortunes don't arouse the concern. I'm pretty blunt and cold to strangers.
The point I make now is, yeah war is hell, but combat and what not is just a small portion of it. Yeah combat is pretty brutal and it sucks hanging out with friends and playing Halo2 on what free time you have, only to hear how one of them died the next day because some sniper got off a lucky ass shot, and you stop playing Halo all together.
The biggest thing in my opinion that soldiers face is the non-combat side of war. The times of isolation, depression, frustration, anguish, and complacency. When that soldier get's complacent, it's time to get him out of there because they'll cause more harm than good. And that usually occurs around month 3, and with 9-12 more months to go, how can you possibly imagine that it'll get better?
Everyone has that limit, that line before it snaps and they change.
edit: Drez, I got a good laugh out of that. hahahaha.
My Iraq story relating to counter-strike. Before you think OH MY GOD HOW BRUTAL, no we didn't actually follow through with any of this:
My buddy and I are talking about video games. I forget how the subject comes up, but we mention how hilarious it would be if in mid-sentence the other person just jumps down, runs through the field at full sprint, and knifes some poor schmuck. Then the other guy, in the background seeing this says, HUMILIATION. Or if you are shooting at people and you land a head shot, some omnipotent voice says, HEADSHOT. (I played on the servers that had these features) We thought it was pretty hilarious at the time so now whenever I play a FPS, I can't stop thinking about those jokes, and it makes the game something more.
More awesome, that's what.

I ran into this exact situation once before.

It's part of the court's decision.
What's your av and sig from?
Do you know Tri-Edge?
Is that game/anime series good then? I never actually played it.
The one handed bra thing is cool because it makes you look suave and experienced. Also, fumbling around with something is never suave.
I'm somewhat sympathetic, but I'm also of the opinion that the PC is a savage platform that should be abandoned.

I'm of the opinion that nothing of value was lost.
After realizing that the intro to Welcome Home is the same as the Tetris theme (Korobeiniki), I can't not think of tetris when I hear that.
The first four games have god awful combat and are almost unplayable, but the story is pretty good.
So far G.U. is fun, if only a bit too easy. The enemies are kind of retarded A.I. wise and don't normally have a full breadth of attacks. The main character, however, seems to evolve as a character throughout the series, and most of the main characters have motivations and depth, which is saying a lot for a JRPG.
If it's what I'm think of you sort of take the top strap between your first two fingers, then push away on the bottom strap with your thumb while pulling the top strap to unhook it.
Soon you'll move on to combination locks and timed explosives.

Later.
