The doctor told me I could be on pain killers for the rest of my life if I wanted but I told him I don't want to do that due to my history of opiate abuse. I still take them occasionally but it's been less and less as time goes on so I don't want to be dependent on them ever again.

Besides opiates do nothing to correct the source of pain they only muffle it so that it's tolerable. In addition to that, I don't really get much relief from the amounts they would prescribe me because of my tolerance.

that's fucked man, only life-affecting problem i have is i'm basically missing a kidney

aww man. well I hope you find some sort of comfortable medium there

shmokin' a bowl and about to play me some REAL BOUT SPECIAL

Hopefully my Wii's fixed so I can go pick it up today.

[QUOTE=Haz;18911753]aww man. well I hope you find some sort of comfortable medium there[/QUOTE]

It's unpleasant but I've learned to live with it over the past two years. To me it's really not worth it to be on opiates even if they will make the pain go away because I know if I have a whole bottle of them there is no way that I won't abuse them. I've been fine taking them recreationally every once in a while but having a whole bottle is a different thing entirely.

I think I'm starting to grow out of my drug phase more and more. Most of the time I don't even think about opiates and when I do take them I don't feel like taking them again for a while.

I haven't done any hard drugs or been addicted to any thing since July 5th of last year which I'm pretty happy about.

Funny thing is my dog also has herniated discs and she went in for surgery today.

[I]Darksiders[/I] looks really good.[I] Arkham City[/I] is only $20 too. might grab those, [I]Mirror's Edge[/I] and [I]Bioshock[/I].

Arkham City is pretty cool especially if you're a fan of Batman. The only issue I have with it is I beat it in two sittings on hard. It took me about 10 hours. There are side missions and stuff but i wasn't really enthralled enough by the gameplay or world to complete those.

yeah i'm pretty wary of licensed games and tend to avoid them

it is good when a gaming developer does justice to the franchise though

I've heard that Darksiders is a lot like Zelda but with an "omg so dark, so edgy" atmosphere. Can anyone that's played it confirm or deny this?

As far as licensed games it's one of the best. I still prefer Arkham Asylum because I think it captures the feel of Batman better and I feel like it has more detail put into the areas since the developers only had to make the asylum and not an entire city.

I have no problem with dark fantasy games

what do you think of the Wii U block?

[QUOTE=blockhead;18911778]I've heard that Darksiders is a lot like Zelda but with an "omg so dark, so edgy" atmosphere. Can anyone that's played it confirm or deny this?[/QUOTE]

it does play a lot like zelda and it's about the four horsemen of the apocalypse, i guess it's kind of a devil may cry vibe

first DMC was so fucking good apart from the shite cutscenes

I'm skeptical but it could turn out really well. My first impression is it's sort of a gimmick. In some ways I still have a lot of faith in Nintendo but it worries me how they're leaning more and more towards the casual market.

The last Zelda was really easy even for a Zelda game. That fucking Fi would tell you how to do everything and when you were low on hearts she would tell you that you needed to find more every time.

Speaking of Dark Fantasy, I've been pretty obsessed with Berserk and it is VERY dark. It's very well written and drawn but there are very graphic depictions of gore and rape. I would recommend it if you're into Fantasy or manga and can tolerate gore. I wrote a longer review of it in the anime thread.

fi really pissed me off too

i like the oblique hints they normally give

too much time spent repeatedly telling you how to manage the control system

yeah i'm planning on getting back into anime

I hate mii's

gonna grab [I]Mass Effect[/I] too

sup bros. gonna join in on the steam sale discussion. if you didn't manage to grab [I]Trine 2[/I] while it was 75% off, it's still 50% off, and the first one was really great, like a super good looking [I]Lost Vikings[/I]

also block, in regards to [I]Berzerk[/i], as far as gore is concerned, comparable to say... Higurashi or Umineko no naku koro ni?

yeah i've seen that series about. just looked at the screenshots, impressed

the puzzles are generally pretty well thought out. the story is kinda meh, but the game is really pretty and it has a really high level of polish. also, it rewards thorough exploration, and swooping around as the thief with your swinging rope is a ton of fun

I love a good puzzle

logic game by the dude who wrote Penumbra and the latest Driver game. Have at it bro

kinda started off hating [I]The Big Bang Theory [/I]but I enjoy it now

Sheldon is written to have asperger's i'm sure of it

are the laugh tracks noticeable? i've never tried watching

I think so I never notice them only when i'm stoned lol
