You're bitching about people who can actually spell "LKE" and not "LEIK".
You're bitching about people who DON'T say "Naruto owns Kenshin, Luffy, and all those shitty animes [insertvictimhere] you watch. Naruto is the best anime ever made, it has no flaws, and might as well have been the first REAL anime".
You're bitching about people who DON'T spam Bob Copy or act like twelve year olds afraid of mindless spam messages.
I still pick my nose. I'm not an ass though, I don't just rub it on something or shake someone's hand and exchange my mucus or spit it on somebody's food.
Alright, sit on my lap kids cause I've go a short drama story to tell.
So about two years ago, me and my brother had a wager between whether PS3 or 360 would be worth it, he hankered that Halo 3 would be the reason to get 360 (although later "assured" me he simply believed it to be the safest bet due to the PS3's price at the time) and I haggled that MGS4 (BEST MOVIE EVER) would be worth it plus games like GoW3. My eleven year old mind was deeply tempted back then after watching one of the trailers, so I got a 360.
Least to say, Halo 3 left me highly dissappointed. No XBL = >:(.
So I've regretted it to this day for spending my money on it after previously having a deal with my father to pay half the PS3 price for one of the first generation models while he paid the top half, 300 over 300. (using smart guy voice) That deal is most likely never to come again, I don't have a job nor am I able to truly become employed for about two years to get the proper cash to afford a full PS3 all alone without some devious method of ascertaining the needed funds.
Best of all, my 360 broke about a month ago after I tried to clean some of the darker, nasty-looking spots on it. (No, I was not stupid enough to smooth a sopping wet rag over the sockets. I blame Microsoft for inferior covering, because I used a damp wipe on the shell of it and somehow destroyed its ability to produce an actual VIDEO with the AV plugs, HOWEVER I've CLEANED my own PLAYSTATION TWO with a WET NAPKIN and the system works perfectly. Yes, yes, I know I'm whining, but if you were surrounded by a world of slowly-crumbling consoles you'd rant too.)
So I'm stuck here, already at a loss for Guns Of The Patriots and looking at a grave future toward great games like BioShock 2, God Of War 3, Twisted Metal, inFamous (made even more painful since I thought the game sucked initially and people are calling it an awesome game), and Prototype. I NEED a Playstation 3 fast, before the next great title emerges and I lose it to the babbling of my friends..
So, the question is:
What is the CHEAPEST model of PS3 and where might I be able to purchase one.
(And yes, the story was unecessary.)
What is the cheapest Playstation 3 model I can buy at this current time, not cancelled?
(And do not start a flame war, or you will fail. This is an honest question and I am looking for advice.)

Clever.
Well obviously we're not a MIXED FLAVOR kind of donut. We're one straight flavor, and there's no cream, cream is for VIPs only.
Maybe we should add some coffee to our Newgrounds experience?

Try some Call of Duty 2 and 4. Surely you won't hate them.
Its not even really the games, this is just one of the more "visible" disputes I have with him. The "taking away" of our relationship can be seen in much bigger unrelated incidents, but right now, this is really bothering me because it seems as though I just had a golden marvel "once in a lifetime game" taken from me solely so he could get Halo 3, one game I could have gone without, while he got Resident Evil 5. And just recently, he is trying to get away with "this" debate as well, speaking of "safest bets" and "things he just can't seem to remember". I need to clear up my own thoughts if I ever plan to resolve this, and like I said earlier, a third opinion is needed.
Ever had an argument or something you know you were supposed to win, but a technicality got in the way of it like memory loss or distance or something stupid? Well, this is something I just can't give up to my brother's "know-it-allness" without a clear conscience.
And yes, I plan to play Call Of Duty soon. Most of my friends say its a good game, even though that can be said for a lot of the military games lately.

Well then I can't be satisfied. I know you don't want to hear a "kid" whine about systems he likes, but then you don't have to bother saying so. I'm not asking for which system you think is better, I'm not looking for a swath of Halo nerds to say the game rocks or haters to say it sucks, I'm not even trying to compare it them.
You assumed that since I was asking about video game opinion that I am obsessed, and frankly, this is a family issue that has been bothering me greatly and cannot be settled until I am old enough for my brother to recognize my opinion as beyond what I read online or until a third respected opinion joins the fray.
I don't have to "like" video games if I don't want to, I see that, but now I want to know whether what I consider to have been the better choice is correct. The only other person I get to converse with is my brother, so "like or hate" does not apply when I'm trying to find reason, understanding or correction from an outside source. In fact, liking or hating games is not even involved. Again, I'm not asking which is better. If you're sick of hearing things about games, then ignore me.

Something else I forgot to bring up since I considered it rather irrelevent but oh well.
My brother says the very same thing. I won't say that it probably didn't put some foothold on gaming history, but shortly following the original debate I was suprised to hear my graphic design teachers who is probably in his late 20s/early 30s (older than my brother, therefore being old enough to better depict how much Halo really changed) said that it did nothing for the shooting genre. I myself wasn't even going that far for having not been around for earlier shooters before Halo.
But if a 20-something year old man can say that Halo was a terrible series/did nothing for the shooting genre, what does that say for anyone like my brother (who are obviously younger) treating it like the cure for cancer? Maybe he is full of crap, but I got that opinion from someone who's been playing video games for years before me and my brother and most of my Halo-loving friends and was around for the shooters that came before Halo. It has to speak for something, maybe if even the tiniest portion of it is true the idea that Halo is a "god game" that invented everything that makes FPSs popular becomes rather preposterous.
Okay, I'm having this long-lasting argument with my know-it-all sibling about whether Halo is a bad series or not. My opinion is that I'm tired ot Bungie's "finish the fight" bullshit after Halo 3 and that I'm not wasting my time dreaming about Halo RECON, while he is saying that the feelings of 'not liking" Halo spurn from having not played through and beaten the first Halo originally.
This argument started when I tried to express a few angry feelings about a previous debate we had over whether getting 360s instead of PS3s was a good idea, as I feel that his influencing in making me get one caused me to end up with Halo 3, a game I could barely care about, caused a subsequent event of me losing many great games I could have gotten on pS3 (MGS4.).
Originally, I was going to pay half for a 120GB (without realizing the differences at the time) while my father paid for the upper half, but my brother kept saying "Halo 3 will be worth it" while I said "even if it is good it will be only ONE game".
Anyways, I concede.
I did not complete the original Halo on release. I was young then and not very good at video games, so I watched him play it and most likely at some point looked up the rest of the story online. The part that infuriates me is that when I try to give acknowledgement of the storyline by describing it in layman's terms (usually to show how cliche or given I find it), he sees this as me taking the opinon of the internet (therefore you guys) and reiterating it. I won't lie, that may not even be far from the truth.
However, I played and beat ALL of Halo 2. And the same Halo 3.
I know the story of Halo and to this day have played only halfway through the original Halo while knowing the entire storyline thus far minus Ghosts Of Reach. The argument I see now is whether or not that a person in my position can see a series as "epic" as Halo as a piece of trash or look down upon it honestly if my opinion is "dramatically altered by the singular fact that I did not play them in order".
My standing disagreement with this also goes into Metal Gear Solid.
I played Kojima's series from 2 to 3 and to 1. I give my brother this, he struggled VERY MUCH to get me to play 1 and when I did it took me forever to build up the courage to beat the wolf cave and later the stamina to beat it. However, this raises controversey in him saying that "playing Halo" from second to third and not first, second, third, is what is preventing me from anticipating RECON, the fourth.
I think anyone with common sense who has played these two know that MGS has a MUCH deeper involving, albeit very confusing and at sometimes GAINAX-like storyline than Halo. So if I can play a series like that from the second game (the one everybody considers the worst in the series) to the third one (the one everybody praises) and then play the first one and love it, and eagerly anticipate the fourth, how does this change my opinion of Halo?
I would like to draw comparisons here, compare each game and number to the opposite series:
Halo - The first of the praised formula. My brother introduced me to this, but I never played it and beat it, but I DID read up on the story ONLINE first. Later, I came back and played halfway, still knowing the entire plot, and admit that it is a decent game, better than the other two.
2 - I play this, the one that depending on person many claim to be the "least favorite" due to changes in the gameplay and multiplayer. I actually see this one as one of my favorite games out of the series.
3 - After watching the trailer and being motivated to get it, as it will be "a GAME worth getting", I am wowed at first by the "stunning graphics" and inevitable cliffhanger ending. But after playing it a few times and listening to some less than favorable reviews of the game, I gradually realize that Bungie has pulled one nerve too many and get tired of their BS. (Wake me when you need me)
4/RECON - When I tell my brother about this after saying "Who cares anymore?", he tells me that I don't know what I'm talking about and have not played them properly.
Metal Gear Solid - The first to be recognized of the series. My brother introduces this to me as well, I got scared at the "red-eyed" dog/wolf section and never touched it for some years. Recently, probably last year, I pick it up after knowing the plot by READING it ONLINE first, and still knowing the entire plot, I ABSOLUTELY love the game the series, despite its complicated plot.
2 - I play this, the alleged "worst one" and love it.
3 - I LOVE THIS ONE. Right after this, I am motivated to play the first one to contain my anticipation of Guns of the Patriots.
4 - I lost this due to my brother getting me into HAlo 3 before its release. I drove myself mad after learning things from a friend and slowly begin ruining the plot for myself, to the point getting a PS3 is a desperate cause.
So who is right? Am I right to think Halo is an annoying series without having fully-experienced the first one and I lost MGS4 for this game. Is there a difference?
So whatever became of Pico 2 I wonder...
I haven't played 4 yet so don't correct me if I'm wrong, but I STILL can't beleive they reserved the credit song for the PSP game. This was in my opinion the BEST song in the series and quite possibily one of the best songs ever written. "Calling To The Night" for Portable Ops, though I don't know who sings it.
If Snake truly does meet his "End" in Guns of the Patriots, then I think they should play this around his funeral. Or at least in the credits, play it SOMEWHERE. Is it on the "Ipod" item's list of songs? If anything, I think it'd be awesome if they just combined all the ending songs of every MGS game into one LONG credit sequence. But THIS one goes first.
Has long has this been in the making?r
Well...I didn't see that coming.
My hatred of Miley Cyrus has cooled since a few months ago.
Ahhh....yes, I've seen this before. We'll need something a bit...MORE....if we want to beat the FOX Van Explosion video.
Meh. Season 3 really disappointed me, maybe my tastes in a sci-fi show changed as I grew up and I became less baffled with subtle/outgoing plot twists, but Season 3, to me, was just one big lovefest/ "let's make sure every character gets a punch in the face" moment. Season 2...ehh...
I really tried to give Jesse a chance. But Season 3 confirms that she is, always will be, and has been a whiny little bitch.
She really sounded awesome by Season 1, and I was on the edge of my seat for when Kyle and Jessi first met but it took the show's directors WAY TOO LONG and Jessi, in classic Smallville style...
-(for those unaware, this is the preceding popular sci-fi/superhero program before it got moved to CW about Clark Kent's earlier days in Smallville. I reference Smallville in that the show breaks away, as you can imagine from the very first 5 minutes, from the ACTUAL canon by introducing comic classics like Bizzaro, and Doomsday, but usually giving them some human attribute like the way Doomsday was a medic, and Bizzaro taking over Clark's life, so that they have some connection to the public's "normal Clark Kent" before they end up the tragic or simply maniacal villain.)
...ends up LITERALLY being altered by the show's VERY convenient scientific angles to become attracted and connected to Kyle...
And inevitably a horrible, destructive nuisance...
And then there's all the disappearing-reappearing characters and the romance that's just tossed in. To save me an extremely long rant about criticism of teen romance, Season 1 was a decent science story that ended on an interesting conclusion with the hint of a counterpart to Kyle. Season 2 took that, killed off some of the major focuses, raised every character's age by 2, gave everyone the information they wanted to know, and ended with ANOTHER Kyle-Amanda moment.
All in all, I wish this show a solid send-off. For the....4 of you that might actually care enough to read my review of this and my good and bad memories of it, spoilers ahead.
---------
They plan to make the final episode a plot where Latnok, the organization behind Madacorp from the 2nd season, who were behind Zzyx from the 1st season (see the "kill off, kill off" pattern I mentioned) is going to, as Kyle puts it "Play god." and create a whole bunch of super children likeKylr and Jessi, which can be easily assumed to be "Spartan-117 but without the teenage mannerisms or the personality conflicts". How they plan to do this, I'm eager to know. Zzzy bred Jessi, Madacorp brought forther their super powers, and Latnok showed them what they are and could be. I had the time to learn to love this kind of show, so I've sure as hell got the patience to have it all spoiled by a suckish series finale that will end with at least one character dead and a hug between the main characters.

Fwoo.

Have you ever listened to his "best songs" or any, try "Smooth Criminal" and tell me he can't sing. I can't even believe that you've listened to one of his songs, everything else about him can be fact or bull, but EVERYONE knows he was a great singer and dancer.

Xin, I respect you, your a friend, but how do you NOT like this music? What kind of music are you into then, Jackson is a great classic despite all the BS the media and new generation music-lovers (Miley Cyrus grrr...) give him. And your children? Because you don't like his music and don't want to hear the racket, or because you don't like him?

Oh my gosh, even wegra's here. I think I might burst into tears.
Seriously though, for the years I was here, I got the dying months of fun. 02s and 05s, I guess you're entitled to your opinions, I remember seeing the old designs and the forum games and the fads that made me keep coming back here until I ot the nerve to actually sign up, but I still think things were better during my starting days here then they are now.
Friends have come and gone, old clubs have worn down, topics are even more easily stereotyped, sarcasm is at....the usual rate. Mods have left (BBR quits and yet I'm still in shock, or at least that's the last I heard about it), great users like Shuko and CrimsonPhoenix stop posting entirely and are almost never heard from again. I can't collect two-three years of memory just to establish the most likely to be ignored statement that Slappy is trying to make, but I'll agree with the fact that the reason I kept coming back here other than for hentai, pornogaphy, more than riveting conversations about the world, false stories about original sexual encounters, furious bouts of swearing, and cursing out new users like their some kind of disease has been lost.

Holy-
McFoofa left? That's fucked up. I still remember all the "Blame It On McFoofa" jokes, but he left? Was his account deleted and all? I have to catch up with the guy, boring or not, Newgrounds won't be the same without him.
