Xenosaga is a game i haven't played because i can almost definitely say that any games that are Animu are just weird and Japanese.
Which lends well to another question i have; why are there no good mech games? Mechs are fucking RAD, how hard is it to make the game good where you plod around and pew pew all the base.
Xenogears actually had a pretty damn fun mech minigame within it. Xenogears itself was an alright rpg in comparison the crap that came after it.
Too bad the 2nd half the game felt so rushed. Still one of my favorites!
STAND TALL AND SHAKE THE HEAVENS!
Fug: Wasnt there an FPS minigame in Super Mario RPG?
None of these dudes have facial hair, so you might as well be. Hell, some of these dudes make for hotter girls than some of the bachelorette options.
Obviously what you need to do is go buy a game where you can woo a dude with a huge Butcher Bill moustache.
I KNOW, none of them have any face fuzz at all. I am severely dissappointed. Man. What do videogames have against facial hair? FF12 was the fucking bomb because of that
I knocked off Mass Effect 2 last night, I was kinda dissapointed with the ending, the thing (y'know what I'm talking about) was a bit weaksauce. Reminded me of boss battles of yore, which have always sucked. Still a cool game though, but I did realise that 80% of the story is about the charchters in your team.
I finally beat GTA:4, it only took me a year of sporadic playing.
I'm still yet to finish that game, it's too freaking long and having to repeat tedious bits of missions (drive from x to a) when you invariably fuck them up 20 times over is infuriating.
I don't know what it is about GTA games that makes me throw the controller.
They're just shitty games designed specifically to invoke the anger part of my brain. Not a single one has been a pleasurable experience yet, and I've played the first one.
I guess it's a combination of missions where you have to chase a guy coupled with AI specifically designed to get in your way and missions where you have to shoot a bunch of guys with one hitpoint, a medkit hidden across town under a manhole cover, coupled with an utterly terrible targetting system.

You have no idea how annoying it is to try to see if I can recreate my face in character customizer screens, there are never any beards that even close to decent.
I think the closest I got was in Saint's Row 2, but Mass Effect 1 and Oblivion were major disappointments.

beetle shooting game was amazing
and yeah pet bear.
And Baby Boar!
Indeed FF12 was great with the beards. If I make an rpg, the main character will be covered in facial hair! Man or Woman!
I want to make an office, first person RPG. You get tasks like making 30 copies of a report, then the toner runs out and you have to go on a quest to replace it. You'd get side quest like getting your boss coffee, and chipping in for the office party.

That sounds like a horrible RPG.
There should also be a quest to get a pay raise that is impossible to successfully complete and an occupational health and saftey quest that lectures the player about correct posture.

This is basically what I imagine when people try describing MMORPG gameplay to me anyway.

Yeah! I'm sure that'll be easy hey look i am eating an entire pizza
No fast food, no soda, rare juice, whole grain pasta/bread instead of white.....have deliciously bad things (pizza) in moderation...and you're all set!
[edit] oh yeah, and exercise too. And balanced meals when ya can. 30/30/40 and all that ololol
I'm really not sure how people screw up cooking, in a general sense (no offense to anybody)....but I mean...it says "cook for 10 minutes"? check it at 5.......bake for 30 minutes? Check periodically every so often...and again, checking earlier than the instructions suggest.
Don't turn the heat up too high on the stove...if something cooks too quickly, you learn, and lower the heat next time. Something turns out too oily, you lessen the amount of oil you used. Etc etc etc.
Measuring ingredients exactly isn't a huge deal, unless you're dealing with certain things that have to be measured out (like baking powder).
Skim over a few recipes for the same thing, and see where they differ (cooking time, ingredients, etc)...and that also helps to make your end-product a success....(if one recipe says 45 minutes in the oven, and another says 35...I'll check it at 25 and 30...and see how it's going...and judge how much more it should be cooked, if at all).
Honestly, just being careful about the amount of heat that's being used....having enough oil in the pan, so things don't stick (as applicable)....checking on things periodically.....stirring/moving ingredients around occasionally (as applicable).....seems to be 99% of making a cook'd thing a "success".
When I hear a person say "I'm a bad cook", it seems like it's a result of the person burning something...almost always, that ends up being the reason. Not burning something can be so easy, though! I don't get it!

Some people just don't know what to do with ingredients. They take a chicken fillet, throw it an an oiled pan on low heat for 7 years and wonder why it's dry, boring and leathery. There's nothing wrong with it per se, it just tastes like carboard and has the texture of brick.
I don't know why I'm terrible at cooking, it's like I never got any of the common sense or the natural instinct that you need for it. I follow recipes but often fuck them up. And so I tend to burn shit/hurt myself/just make bad tasting food (or all 3). I'M GETTING BETTER THOUGH. Much better than when I first started.

This. So HARD.
My mother leaves food on for way too long because she wants to make sure it gets cooked thoughly. Then she thinks its too dry (which it is). So she has me cook a lot.
I try to get things off as soon as they're cooked and she praises me for how good it is. Its because i didn't turn the steak in to the mobi desert!

I get distracted pretty often. In order to avoid dying, this is why I use a microwave.
I also make a mess while cooking.
The biggest issue is twofold: I'm a bachelor so food goes bad often, and I have no sense of smell so I don't know when I'm putting bad food into my concoction.
And last, I haven't cultivated the manual dexterity required to flip an omlette (du fromage)

Amen, this obsession people have with crucifying meat baffles me. Steak you barely even need to cook at all if you're to cook it properly. I like my steak to look like a warm murder scene, though I will cook it a bit longer on the account of my wife being a massive pansy.
Don't know what to do with the ingredients? Don't know how to do something? Research it (look through a cookbook, and/or look online) for 5 minutes, and there's the answer......every time I cook something I haven't ever cooked before, I just take a few minutes beforehand to read a few recipes and "cooking tips"...and it always comes out awesome.

There was that "3D" mine cart section, but I think that's as close as it got
It can't be that difficult to mod an FPS so numbers fly out instead of blood when you shoot enemies.

I was thinking of that beetle shooting game.
Oh shoot, in animal parade you can get a bet bear. PET BEAR.

The game Borderlands already does this, its a so called FPRPS (First Person Role Playing Shooter)

Team Fortress 2 has the option of seeing damage numbers as well!

Are you kidding? MT's game sounds much more fun.
Trick is to keep it off :P
you crazy man. you crazy

The secret is twofold:
1. stop cooking before the food catches fire
2. turn off the stove when you're done.

Maybe I'm just awesome.
Virtually everything made on a grill tastes amazing, with little to no effort required. Carcinogens taste DELICIOUS.
She'll just stuff you full of cigarettes
Oh yeah, I can cook over a campfire like nobody's business.
