Similarly, the low-HP alarm in Pokemon games. Three or four beeps when you first enter the red would suffice.

Oh man, seconded big time.  I turn the DS volume down all the way when my respective mon reaches that point.

James Bishop doesn't seem to be a very accomplished or experienced gamer. Hell, he probably pronounces Mario's name "May-ree-oh".

Yes, that seems to be the common symptom.

Hi, it's Johnny1up. I've been going on TMK years now but I just decided to make an account on the forums a few weeks ago. Can't wait to be able to post, hopefully I'll bring up some interesting topics.

I was the same way.  I found this site around '99 and joined the forum in '03.

Good to see LD's iron wit is still intact after 7 years...of me being on this forum, that is.

I don't even remember you being around for that.

I'm pretty sure you actually weren't.

You and LD are both right.  If I remember correctly, that line was LD's signature at one point.

Well, I just happened to be browsing the "new members" thread, and I saw a quote that made me nostalgia...hard. 
"I'm a stupid fatty and I love to play with my easybake oven."  It's like being in my mid teens all over again.

Yes.  Very yes.

Here's another stupid qusestion: who's the real slim shady?

Am I a complete moron for not knowing what a black mage was until I finally played Final Fantasy 3 on DS?

So, I was online on Warioware DIY a few minutes ago, and I happened to notice one of the games I downloaded was by someone named Markio...I wonder...

This might be a good time for me to revive my PSP funeral idea.

For the record, MaryAnn Johanson is a terrible critic. She tends to give bad reviews to great movies.

She didn't even like Ben-Hur.

Yeah, she probably thinks Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 is the greatest movie ever made.

This is a line from one of my characters in an ongoing story I've been writing.  He's a little too smart for his own good.

General Chat / Re: The ANGST thread: Complain here!

« on: August 22, 2010, 11:21:44 PM »

I appreciate all your messages. A lot, actually.

Maybe this type of situation warrants its own thread because, yes, while it's angst, it's doesn't really fit the "complain here" aspect of the thread and it's much more serious than, "lol [darn] it i broke my ds." It sort of drags the whole thread down, and makes it hard to know when to pick the thread back up with other angsty happenings without coming off as being uncaring or apathetic towards a person's loss, kinda like if you said, "ahh sucks trainman..... wellll okay, i lost my game the other day and..."

I'm not too sure. What do you guys think?

I don't know man.  I can see where you're coming from, though.  However, when my uncle committed suicide on that dark February day over a year ago, I believe I just posted it here in this thread.  Never in my life did I ever come so close to having a mental BSOD.  I am so, so sorry for your loss.

On the other subject, yes, it just doesn't feel right referring to posts like yours as "complaining."  You're deeply saddened by your loss; you're obviously not complaining about something trivial, like your DS example.

Weird Al's new polka that he's been performing on tour is brilliant, like his others. 

Also, WarioWare DIY has been a lot of fun.  Making Wario dodge a Pac-Man with a Hitler 'stache trying to run him down with a car was particularly entertaining.
