Second half is the best part tho

That's debatable. I played the launch version of the game and it definitely didn't meet expectations.

Just be thankful you aren't playing Baton Kaitos trying to finish everything. At least FF is doable. The fastest you can 100 percent BK is about 350 hours.

I'd also get into the habit of weighing the food your going to cook/eat. It'll make your weight loss that much simpler.

figure out what works for you. Everyone is different. I'm personally a massive fan of implementing DDP Yoga into my weekly regiment. When I was losing weight, I lost a crap ton by sticking to that and cutting dairy/breads/sugars. Went from 270 to 228 in 3 1/2 months. Course I'm back up to 288 now, totally my fault, but I'm slowly going back down.

I know when my buddy worked for a corner store that when the pay rate went up, his pay didn't go up. For context this was quite a few years ago when the pay cap for that type of job was 10 dollars an hour. they raised the minimum wage to 10/h and they refused to increase his pay to match the pay going up. The next day he walked into his bosses office, gave her the middle finger told her to go F herself and walked out during his shift. That same day he was hired by A&W as a fry cook, so he didn't lose a day pay.

That same boss btw hired on someone else I knew, had him work a single shift, told him he was doing a fantastic job, and proceeded to call him when he was walking home after his shift and fired him on the spot. Meanwhile he was told that he was doing the work of 3 regular workers.

I know that my ex would have her back destroyed if she went braless. She was a bit of a heavier woman(at 230 lbs/5'2), with triple Ms(insert mmm joke here). But those things weighed a ton.

Actually I think this was the kicker for me. It was described late in the gameplay trailer, but once I was told "your Blades will be random" any interest I had just kinda deflated.

It wasn't the only thing, but it was a significant one.

Like, I really liked the idea of the setting in it being a twist on XB1's concept: instead of living on two dead giants, you lived on a bunch of big floating living things. Good concept, but then I started asking around about the story and folks are like eh.

If anything the best way to describe it would be the current expansion of World of Warcraft. Where each covenant covers a different theme. With X2, one area is bright and open, while another can be a giant cave illuminated by bright rocks. With each area having their own separate storylines that interconnect with the main storyline.

Funny enough, I tried to go back and play Wolfenstein 3d on steam. I stopped after a couple minutes. The mouse controls are absolutely horrible. Can still enjoy on SNES though.

I liked 3. Obviously not as good as 1 and 2, but was better than some of the other ones, even if the ending was trash.

Literally everything. I'm a completely different person now at 35 than I was when I was 27. If you really want to try something magical, try putting that over easy egg with ramen or rice. Let the yolk coat the rice/ramen. Bit of salt and pepper.

Or, do a light scramble and mix it in with rice/ramen. It will blow your mind. Another personal favorite of mine is breakfast sandwiches. 2 slices of Toast, butter, cheeze whiz, over easy egg, bacon(or ham, or bologna). I like Ketchup or hot sauce with mine, but to each their own.

I like what Jar Jar should have been. The so called ultimate Sith lord that a fan created a few years ago. It explains so much within the series. His own people hating him, hanging out with palpatine in episode 2 or 3. He should have been the one controlling things from the shadows.

Yeah, your tastebuds change as you age. I hated hummus when I was younger, now I can't get enough of it. I've only recently grown to tolerate Cilantro(albeit it needs to be mixed with sour cream and lime). Still can't stand most shellfish outside of crustaceans. Mussels, Oysters, Scallops all sicken me. Same with pink fish like Salmon. But white fish I can eat with no issues.

oh how I wish there was a website for all things Property Brothers or cooking competition shows. Sadly, Bell wants me to pay something stupid like 15 dollars for 2 channels, when I have 3 dozen I don't watch as is. Wish I could just trade them for 2 I'd actually watch.

The last good game with motion controls just got ported without motion controls, now you can play all the good motion control games without motion control.

....they literally said in the direct that you could use motion controls. Or were you at all paying attention?

How tf could it have MORE busywork than 1?

More grinding and gear workings. For example, assume to clear the first area of 1 you needed to be level 5. Easy enough.
In order to clear the first area of 2 you need to be level 8 and have the proper soul attached to your character(I say soul but it could be called something else).

Pyra was only 1 soul that you could equip to your character. Other souls allow you to use different weapons, and each one of them from what I remember has to be leveled up. Don't quote me on that, its been a very long time since I played the 2nd game. Pyra allowed you to use a 2h sword. Other souls allowed you to use daggers, axes, and hammers depending on your playstyle.

You couldn't just buy these souls. You needed to get lucky to find the one that your looking for, and some of them are different quality than others. It was a ton of work for very little reward. It didn't help that right in the middle of mobs that were my level randomly an enemy who was much much higher level would just patrol and I might die due to it aggroing. For example, there was a pack of level 11/12 monsters and a patrolling level 70ish monster.

I was so frustrated after leaving the first area I had little incentive to want to continue.

gatcha for some reason was among the least of my annoyanced. I got Kosmos on my first and only playthrough, but I never really cared about collecting all the blades and 100%ing everything. this game is a huge time sink.

the gameplay does get better and deeper throughout the chapters. you'll have every gameplay mechanic unlocked by end of chapter 5. imo, more complex but rewarding than xb1.

Nia is welsh

my apologies, but it still sticks.

The voice acting is fine for everyone who isn't Rex and sometimes Pyra/Mythra.

Malos is the best

I just can't with that Scottish female. It tears at my ears.

Compared to the first, 2 is a far weaker game. At least imo. The voice acting is really bad, and the story just isn't that good.

A lot of ports, a couple sequels to previous titles, nothing groundbreaking, and a character no one wanted coming to Smash. Square is working on a tactics style Octopath game it seems, which could be interesting.

There were a couple things that peaked my interest, but Splatoon teased something and stopped it before it even began. I thought Splatoon was going the way of Mario Odyssey for a second there.

Didn't he have a really really bad eating regiment or was that Warren Buffet?

I used to spend it on Magic Cards, these days its either my pc, or my broke down car which seems to want to break down every couple months. Waiting until 2022 after I graduate to buy a new one.

Not a word of a lie, I put the car in to get the motor controlling the wipers fixed, got her out drove down the road, both brake lines failed(luckily I was on a flat road), put her back in, got her out, not a week later the entire undercarriage had to be replaced. A month later the part that controls whether or not the heater gets heat broke. Cost me close to 2200 CAD. Next vehicle is going to be a truck, F dealing with loads of snow and a low ass car.

I can't imagine people in Texas being used to snow.

At least you get a raise. Last time there was talks of increasing wages in the retail job I worked they increased the wages but slashed all the hours to balance it out. So I got a 25 cent raise, and my hours slashed in half. Because F me.

I would love for a switch version collection. Then again... I wish the switch allowed for dual screens(you could hook up to your tv with a special connector and like the GBA and Crystal Chronicles, the switch acts as the menu/2nd screen).

Those are two completely different things.

Theyre nothing alike other than sharing lime flavoring, which isnt the main point of Takis Fuego but is for Limon.

Limon is literally their regular lays with citric acid and may be some actual lime. Thats not even remotely similar to a deep fried tortilla chip coated in spices.

read the second line

Also, their Sour Cream and Onion chips are a disgrace to Sour Cream and Onion. Ruffles, Old Dutch, or Loads of are the ones I usually go for, for SC&O.

No, disgusting. I'd much rather buy a bag of Takis Fuego, which is what Limon seems to be trying to imitate.
EDIT, I was thinking of a different flavor.

Yeah, I only now got on to that other topic

B2 is the Oregon Trail

A2: THPS Underground
C2: Sega Bass Fishing
E2: 1080 Snowboarding

E1: Final Fantasy Adventure or Final Fantasy Adventure 2

D2: EVO: The Search For Eden

E3: Yugioh: Forbidden Memories

What a dumb system. The mass majority should take hold. If it was something like 49-51 you could make the argument. But the mass ruled in favor of impeachment.

That your going to have to find for yourself. I got the bigger edition of 15 on launch and it came with it.

E2 kind of reminds me of Bubble Bobble

E3 is Spy vs Spy?
A1 is Prince of Persia 2

Not really. I could see it happening. Hell, when I was 26 I was willing to date an 18 year old. Course, they'd have to have proof of being an 18 year old. I didn't want to get arrested. But I'd still be drawn to someone closer to my age. Now at 35, the youngest I'd date is probably 23, 24. Earlier than that it gets a bit too creepy for my taste.

My ex-roommate was 27 dating a 19 year old. They dated for 3 full years and were very happy together. She had to leave for college, and him having a full time job meant they had to break up. Sad times.

All I'm going to say is that there is a character who looks kind of like Sephiroth in the game. Your going to absolutely love him. It's one of the few things in this game I adore. Meanwhile.... the main antagonist is my least favorite character in the series.... because I've seen Summons show up more times than he does....

That's why after you meet him, and you will know exactly who he is, go watch Kingsglaive. It gives a lot of information about him so you aren't wondering wtf is going on.

I wouldn't say it being Tabata's first FF is why it came out the way it did. Nomura spent nearly decade trying to make something just too ambitious. It wasn't even a real game. Just concepts and ideas. Square tossed it over and told Tabata to make a game out of all that. It just needed more time to be made into an actual game for how large the scope of it was.

But even so, the general story was already laid out. There were decisions made, that to me just made absolutely no sense. Outside the main party, pretty much every other character is miswritten. It's why I tell everyone to watch Kingsglaive before they start playing the game. To give context to certain characters and why you should care about them.

The two things that really frustrate me about this game are Ardyn and Lunafreya. Neither were given enough time to develop as characters. I wish they had pushed Iris as the main love interest instead of Lunafreya, because we weren't given any reason to care about her as a character. Makes me wish we had Stella instead of Lunafreya.

Have you played FF12 Gir?

The reason he says that is because the original director was basically forced to leave the project and move to Kingdom Hearts 3, because he was taking forever to actually finish the story. The director who replaced him, Tabata never worked on a main series Final Fantasy game prior, and it showed.

He kept the characters but scrapped most of the story surrounding them and the side characters. Your going to meet a bunch of characters who seem like 1 time side characters but have a lot more backstory in Kingsglaive and the short anime which was written by the original director.

Since you played FF7, let me put it this way. You remember how the character Jessie suddenly has a big role in the remake, despite being an extremely minor character in the original? Reverse it a few times for different characters.

Mines technically 20 years old, though I lost the password to my 2001 account in 2007, so I had to recreate this one.

It can also be because they get twisted and oxygen doesn't flow to them properly.

Its nice, but I've always been a massive fan of Red Wings over it.

Force him to watch all the cutscenes of Metal Gear Solid 4, its close enough to that.

Religion games? Are you thinking of the bible games for NES?

Yep, stuff like Super Noahs Ark.
