How many mods are actually so big that they required speeds above that? I've seen mods that were like 2GB but I don't think that's that big.

There's collections which I've seen being 100 GB itself. A Fallout 4 collection I have is just that size so i guess this makes it much faster.

One of my favorite movies and probably because of my terrible father figure. I did think Goofy was going overboard but as an adult and I see the way Max treats Goofy and I get a bit annoyed. Its definitely a movie you can relate to regardless of age.

Now I just tear up because I wish my dad was like Goofy and wanted to bring me on a fishing trip. This movie is definitely my number one Disney movie and one I'll watch over and over. Every song is great and so easily quotable. There are no boring scenes at all.

Metal_Gear_Raxis posted...
I remember how Goofy and Pete acted like Max had fucking killed a person just because he messed with Goofy's map, holy shit.

Nah, its a pretty huge deal because Goofy trusted his son and his son destroyed that trust. He lied to his father and that was the last straw for Goofy. Yet you are correct which is why they both end up forgiving the other and Goofy realized that his son was not a little boy anymore. He forced his son into a trip he didn't want to go on and Max was already depressed for lying to his father.

I wish there was a t.v. series that took place after or at least a better epilogue just to see how different their relationship became. I know there's the movie but their relationship was strained there as well. Just that it was a different sort of friction. We never get to see how they both are during the rest of Max's high school life.

Also its upsetting that Roxanne and Max never get married or stay together after high school. Its a shame but its realistic so there's at least that.

The manga was originally about several different kinds of games with Bakura as the villain and then Duel Monsters ended up being really popular IIRC and it ended up being the bigger part of the manga. They eventually just stuck to it. It has an interesting concept and I like the darker tone, especially with Atem. The opening is also pretty damn sick.

pneumonia at age 12.

My mom didn't bring me to a hospital and I spent a whole week in bed drenching the sheets until I was pale as a ghost and part of my lower lip was swollen and brown with the rest of my lips a deep purple and me a pale white.

My gran was the one caring for me and my mom just said I would get better and it was nothing terrible. When my grandmother brought me to the hospital, I ended up being told that if I had been a day late I would have been dead. I spent two months in the hospital to recover and the steroids made me gain a lot of water weight which I ended up keeping on until I was 20 and lost a hundred pounds.

One of my aunts, who isn't really willing to spend money on her nephew and nieces, ended up buying me a Gameboy Advance and Legend of Zelda Seasons so I ended up playing it over and over in the hospital while waiting to get better. It was the closest I've ever gotten to dying and I think it caused a lot of my issues with my mother until she got cancer and I became her nurse until she died. I think we mended that friction in our relationship. I know I was just twelve but it really hurt to see that she wouldn't bring me to the hospital at the first sign of trouble.

It didn't help that she told me that my dad wasn't my real father but not because he wasn't my real dad but because I realized why he treated me so terribly and abused me.(because I wasn't really his) My mom didn't believe that he was hurting me and she was strange about giving me affection because she told my aunt(my good aunt) that she was afraid if she showed me too much affection that I would turn gay. (thank you conservatism)

So she was hoping that the father who adopted me would be the one who was a father to me but he did nothing to show he cared nor did he teach me anything that would help me.

Damn....this was about life threatening and I went full rant. Sorry >_<

Wasn't it just said that it came much later in that world?

As for why they did it, I think it was the whole 'Americana' aspect which is actually a very unique theme. It really screams the 'American dream' at you but like another user said, they deconstruct it in the very games.

Pre war is what people would think of when they think of the future. I actually think of Back to the Future when I imagine the Fallout games.

He died on the 1st, this article came out on the 4th, and his death was announced on the 7th. Kinda weird.

there was a manga about making manga and there was a time where the main character was overworked and they cancelled his manga which was the reason he overworked himself. Instead of giving him a little leeway, they force you to go through these extreme conditions to keep up the schedule and the only way you'll be given some leeway is if you become successful but the time leading up to that can be extremely terrible.

Pretty sure Bleach's author had to be hospitalized a couple times and his shoulder tendons were torn by the end, and wasn't One Piece's author told to start taking a week off every month because he was falling apart after going for like two decades straight?

is that why he's taking frequent breaks? I just thought he was sick and I was getting scared but its good that he is getting to the end now. I hate the idea of it ending but this means he can finally rest and be living a successful life because he'll be getting all that money for years to come. He won't need to work after that.

I dunno what they did in the remaster, I was talking about the original version.

I do recall initially finding the controls awkward (having been used to 3 and VC before that) but once I adjusted I felt they were an improvement. But still not as good as IV and V.

I know but I was talking about slapping new controls and having the same old janky look which fits the bill perfectly but I don't remember if they added V's controls or not and if they did, they didn't add them all in because it felt 'useless'

First episode I saw was Goku getting on Namek and wrecking the Ginyu Force. I honestly didn't know what I was watching but it was unique and different. We just got Cartoon Network for the summer(our cable company apparently got it as a promotion I guess) and suddenly I'm watching Toonami and there's this thing called 'anime' and I was immediately hooked.

Then kids at school were bringing pictures they printed off the internet and sharing rumors and theories about a series that was already over in Japan lol. After the promotion, the company kept it going for some reason and I remember because we finally finished the Frieza saga and as soon as the Android saga started(which took longer than it should have tbh) they cut it. At this point they were playing new episodes on Saturdays and I went to sleep at my aunt's house and watched it in the mornings.

At first I was annoyed. My first playthrough I was kinda iffy about it but then I replayed and I realized I liked it.

Honestly, there's just a lot of 'emptiness' if you wanted to put in new graphics. You're asking them to, after midgar, is to create a game with new high end graphics without putting in the actual world. The original game had a world map that was clearly miniature size but that would be stupid in today's world because they can do so much more so building a huge world is the better option.

The problem is that it would cause a lot of emptiness since there wouldn't be much to do so you want to fill it with something.

Thing is, I can see them making Remake all in Midgar for two reasons:

  1. There was not a lot of time in Midgar. Its nice that they put all that effort into giving us more.
  2. It would be difficult to find a stopping point for the game by leaving Midgar. Its like writing a paragraph. You don't want to change subjects mid paragraph.


I can see the third game being strictly all the rest of the game with less fluff since there's a lot to put in and you do a lot of back tracking anyway.

The timeline aspect of the game makes it feel less like a retelling and more of a sequel which I think is what they wanted to do.

Plus imagine them making the first game without the fluff? "I paid 60 dollars for this short ass game! SE IS GREEDY!"
