    I'm going FULL RETRO!

    Gaming has always been what I considered a private guilty pleasure. I play single-player games. To me, multiplayer means a friend sitting next to me with controller 2 in his/her hand. I pay cash for my games. My name is not tagged to the purchase by a credit card. I have yet to buy "just a...

    Good news! You know that temp job I started? Well, it's been 90 days and now I'm a full-time hired-in employee! My pay more than doubles and I'm in a union and all that. All kinds of great benefits and the work isn't hard at all. I got in just in time to get payed for Thanksgiving vacation...

    Man! I only wish I could be like other guys and one-night-stand women, but I can't. Goodness knows I've had the opportunity, but I can't bring myself to just jump in bed with just anyone just because they are there, pretty and are female. I guess I'm old-fashioned or something, but I have to...

    Wait and play ~30 years of games and then tell me what you think of the video-game industry.

    Casual, hardcore, shovelware and the Brainwashed.

    This thread was inspired by THIS thread. It started out as just a reply, but I felt it became so long (and kinda off-topic enough) that I should make it a blog instead. Actually, many of my blogs have started out as replies to other threads. It's just my writing style, I guess you could say...

    Hope you aren't one of the 2 million people that need to evacuate: http://news.yahoo.com/2-million-ordered-le...-212056071.html I mean, just where the hell are 2 MILLION people supposed to go?! I can only imagine how many of those 2mil are wondering what they are gonna do or where they are...

    Comment by 'Rayder' in 'Men's toiletries'

    I always thought they should make scents for men that are actually manly, like; auto-shop, beef jerky, gasoline, fresh leather or gyro meat type scents. Of course, I guess women wouldn't exactly appreciate those scents like men do, but it certainly beats the hell out of smelling like flowers or...

    So here's what's going on with me right now....

    Successfully changed the contact pads under the buttons of my black DSlite that I bought when they first launched the black ones in America. Dpad-right and the A button were shot. I was a little worried that since the unit was so old I would damage a ribbon cable or some other internal something...

    Comment by 'Rayder' in 'WTF is even mine'

    Ever see that show "All in The Family"? You know Archie Bunker? That was how my dad was exactly. I'm not even kidding. He was racist as hell, mispronounced words, bitched about everything and never had a kind word to say about anyone in the family. He wouldn't listen to anyone in the family...

    Comment by 'Rayder' in '3DS'

    Nice post! Some of the main reasons I have decided not to bother with 3DS are many of things you listed about why you feel kinda burned by getting it. I have to say that I completely agree with your opinions here. With the regular DS, if it wasn't for flashcarts, free games and homebrew, I'd...

    Welcome back Rydian! I am truly glad you decided to return. One thing you may not have realized (I didn't either until after you left) is that you have quite a positive effect on many members here. You're a heck of a lot more in-touch with the younger generation than I could ever hope to be...

    Comment by 'Rayder' in 'So sales are down for Nintendo, are they?'

    Well....now we know the answer to the question, "What'cha gonna do Nintendo?" Let's hope it pans out for them. I think it's huge step in the right direction at any rate. The $250 price point was kinda prohibitive for what will inevitably be considered a toy that parents buy for their children...

    @paul1991returns, I feel sorry for you, you apparently didn't understand a word I wrote. I'm very sorry if my blog is above your comprehension level and you misunderstood everything I said. It's one thing to disagree with any points I've made and present reasonable counter-points, it's a...

    @thela_kid Not meaning to piss on your parade or anything, but your avatar is over the file-size limit. It's 175k and the limit is 80k. Taken directly from the forum rules: Just sayin'.

    Comment by 'Rayder' in 'So sales are down for Nintendo, are they?'

    I didn't mean that kids games and casual games shouldn't exist at all, only that Ninty needs to be more in balance with the general gaming public to include games that a veteran gamer like me could enjoy too, that teen and adult gamers can enjoy without having to wade through so much tripe to...

    Comment by 'Rayder' in 'I don't get under 18 teenage girls'

    Heh, didn't you get the memo? Girls are freakin' crazy. Any guy who thinks they have females figured out is seriously deluding themselves. Either that or they managed to run across one out of the incredibly small percentage of females who aren't crazy.

    Yeah, if you like RPG's then sure, there are plenty of good games, but if you don't, and shovelware doesn't do it for you, then not so much.

    So sales are down for Nintendo, are they?

    (I know Ninty reps lurk here, so it's time to rant) I see games like the Imagine games, the recent iCarly and various other shovelware (which seem to make up AT LEAST 80% of the DS library) as the reason the 3DS isn't doing so well. Many "true gamers" (that is, the hardcore/mainstream gamer...
