[QUOTE=Jom]Well, there are Americans that hate Bush as well.[/QUOTE]

Very true. He's a well-hated person...

ohtehnoez rqq

Ok then, thanks Jom. Man, i wish people didn't think i was so anti-bush, i think hes alright.

Jeez, I'm sorry Aaron. It sounds like your life has really gone wrong. And, though you may all hate me, it seems like this really highlights the problems with the U.S. :-/

But yeah, once you've graduated, come down to Australia and study Uni over here. You may not be in a rush to come to my area, since we also get Cyclones, but hey. :p

WC3 kicks SC arse. I find it far more diverse, and less open to cheese strategies. I personally love RPGs over Shooters, mostly because I can get into the role a lot better. Stuff like Fallout 2, Diablo II: LOD, Baldur's Gate, etc, are classics that everyone should enjoy.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Well, that's too bad.[/QUOTE]
Why do you say that?

[QUOTE=Arucard]Ok then, thanks Jom. Man, i wish people didn't think i was so anti-bush, i think hes alright.[/QUOTE]

People think that because you come across as extremely anti-American.

I play wc3 frequently, we should have a big R&M community thread game.

We can all switch servers, right?

I agree. I'd love to play with people I know from MX.

[QUOTE=Bartender]Good to see you both. How've you been?[/QUOTE]
Ah, I've been fairly good. Had a good and productive summer, back at school now wasting time on mx, of course lol. I only have 13 hours this semester and it's easy stuff so I'll be on a lot probably. I've been hanging around Pop-Punk more lately because I've been in a mood for it I guess. My girlfriend got me back into it. I got a lot of money over the summer and I've been buying CDs like crazy and plan on seeing a lot of shows. Besides that not much to say though. Are you back at uni now?

I can't even talk trash.

:eek: Ar[SIZE=2]s[/SIZE]is? That band is ****ing amazing!!!!!!!!! New EP out in October!

Guys, we have to play a MX game when I get back. Any night after next Monday is good for me.

What's your account Slug, and what server?

Rad, you wanna do one today? I've got about an hour and a half before I leave.

Edit: I'll probably make a variation of this name either "Mister Blue Sky" or "Mr. Blue Sky" or "Mister Blue Sky(numbers)", and I play on US West, but we can switch over to one main server.

Do you guys all play Frozen Throne or Reign of Chaos?

Yeah, I'm up for it, but I am leaving for University now. Try again this afternoon. I think I fixed my connection to battle.net. Chris will know all about that. :-/

Frozen Throne here.

I've only played 2 FFA games. I won both, and I didn't want to ruin my record. :p

I used to be level 14 or so for solo. And level 12 for team play. I was a noob, I know.

Frozen Throne.

I was ranked top 25 for FFA until I stopped playing due to a lack of time. I'm currently starting a new FFA account (converge @ East) which right now is 6-0 FFA, with some other games as well. Once I get more time and the ladder resets I'll be playing more often.

FT here.

Coolness. I just got FT a few days ago (I'm US East). Does my RoC username translate or do I need to start a new one?

Nope, I don't go back until somewhere around the end of September..I think. I don't actually know what date I have to restart University, and I've been none too successful finding out.

Good to hear you're buying lots of CDs, though. I found a few second hand (and non-second hand) stores I didn't know were there before, so I bought myself quite a few while away too. Have you got anything interesting recently?

I transfered to TFT a while back so I can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure your name transfers over but not your stats.

That's good. I had a sub par record anyway.

/logs onto battle.net

Yes, your name translates from RoC to TFT.

I guess the majority of us play USEast so we'll all switch to that server for MX games?

Sounds great. Is anyone in a clan?

Sure, that sounds good. I am going out now tho so I can't play tonight.

I'll be gone until Tuesday.

Okay I'm in the channel "MX" on USEast right now. My account name is MisterBlueSky

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]I think FPSs are much, much easier to play with a game controller than a keyboard. All the buttons are organized and you don't have to stop and look down to findthe button to do something.[/QUOTE]

True computer nerds like myself NEVER look at the keyboard anyway. I havnt looked at the keyboard in years (except when i was in germany because the keys are mapped differently in cafes there).

Last time i had to look down at the keyboard to find a key i was probably 13 or 14 years old, and ill be 22 soon.

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]You must have one amazing computer. My computer's not bad at all but the graphics are always sh[SIZE=2]it[/SIZE]ty comapred to my PS2.[/QUOTE]

for 75 dollars nowadays you can buy a video card that is more powerful than the hardware in any console on the market.

It isnt hard to get computer hardware for cheap that pushes you miles above a consoles capabilities. The day a console can out power a PC, ill be amazed, as hardware develops much faster than software. And since you cant upgrade hardware on a console, they will fall behind even slower than software does.

[QUOTE=Byzantine]I never play shooting games. For me its pretty much Nba Live, MLB Baseball, and Madden. Only EA Sports.[/QUOTE]

As i have said before, Pro Evolution Soccer/Winning Eleven Soccer > all other sports games ever

[QUOTE=I Am Vikingcore]FFXI isn't too good of an MMORPG, I'd go with either Guildwars or WoW if I were you...[/QUOTE]

Guildwars is only good for the downtime on the WoW servers on tuesdays.

Speaking of wow, im going to get level 54 tonight.

[QUOTE=Arucard]WoW gets very boring, very fast. Its just like 'OmgZZorR!!! You L:EVEleDD UP Agains"""!'[/QUOTE]

Wait til you get to the battlegrounds. both WSG and Alterac Valley are extremely fun, beyond anything i have done in an MMORPG before, and i started with Ultima.

[QUOTE=I Am Vikingcore]What about 2D fighters like Street Fighter? Please say you like those at least...[/QUOTE]

Capcom vs. SNK is great, as is Guilty Gear. 2D fighters are much better than 3D ones. Sure the 3d ones are more realistic, but the 2D ones tend to be less button mashing and more actual skill and reaction time.

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo]WoW is what again? It sounds like it's liked well, and I need a new RPG. Is it for PC?

First off, wtf does is stand for.[/QUOTE]

World of Warcraft, blizzards MMORPG version of the warcraft series. Amazing, only downside is the 12 bucks per month subscription fee.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Mortal kombat>street fighter

street fighter is for wusses

you get to decapitate people in SF?

no?
didn't think so...[/QUOTE]

Have you ever seen anyone parry 32 hits in a row in a monster combo in any of the mortal kombat games?

No, didnt think so.

Sure MK is bloody, but that is ALL it is.

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo]So does anyone play those Everquest games? I see a lot of them, and they're cheap, but what games are they like?

[/QUOTE]

I used to play everquest. There was a huge mess though where sony fired all the original makers of the game a few years into it, and the game went really downhill, just becoming a massive timesink, where it became impossible to do stuff without camping for weapons for hours upon hours on end in their new areas they add. I heard EQ2 is very similar.

Oh well, sony's loss

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]Why is it that so many non-Americans hate Bush?[/QUOTE]

Because he is republican more than anything. Europeans for example are very very liberal, even the more conservative ones are liberal by american standards for the most part.

One thing i learned while i was in germany is that every thing the germans have that americans dont, they blame on the current US president for not having put into action. Most of them dont realise that the senate and house have a lot to do with laws as well, but that is irrelivant.

Speaking of servers, if anyone plays horde on Skullcrusher for WoW, thats where I am. Would enjoy seeing a few MXers there if there are any

Wow, British unis are a lot later than American ones, I forgot about that. That's cool though, you still have a long break ahead of you, I wish I wasn't back at school yet heh. Good luck finding out though, it'd suck to miss the first few classes or something because of that.

Well I think I bought a few dozen over Summer break, lots of good stuff there, but I dont recall exactly what. I've set a rule for myself that I never spend over $10 for any single CD, and I've been sticking to it well, I think the only time i broke it was to get a $12 CD at Warped, which I got so I could get it signed, and that was worth it to me. As to what I've picked up this semester:
A Change of Pace - An Offer You Can't Refuse
The Academy Is... - ALmost Here
AFI - Very Proud of Ya
Alice in Chains - Unplugged
...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead - Worlds Apart
Avenged Sevenfold - City of Evil
Bane - Give Blood
The Cure - Faith
Cursive - The Ugly Organ
The Explosion - Black Tape
Halifax - A Writer's Reference
The Kinison - What Are You Listening to?
No Use For a Name - Keep Them Confused
Noise Ratchet - Noise Ratchet EP
Pennywise - Straight Ahead
Refused - Everlasting
Scary Kids Scaring Kids - The City Sleeps in Flames
Tesla - Psychotic Supper

Like I said, mostly Pop-Punk :) I'm pleased with it though. Over the summer I also got into FNM, AIC, Savatage, Blind Guardian and Project 86, among others. I've been keeping busy musically :)
