So I bought a PS3 [Recommend me some games]
I really recommend you ask people to recommend a few games with thorough justification and not give you a giant list of games without explaining why each one is good (the latter is how these topics usually turn out). It's not really helpful if people just namedrop. Anyway:
Devil May Cry 4 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma are the best character action-brawlers on the market right now. I cannot recommend one over the other as they are basically the same game. I think I personally prefer Ninja Gaiden a little more. Both are pretty difficult and require a lot of finesse on your part. The action is just as tight as a one-on-one fighting game, though, so there is enormous room for you to succeed through individual skill at the game. I warn you that both games are unbearably cheesy (however DMC4 comes across as more self-aware about it).
Burnout is one of the best-regarded arcade racers out there. I recall that you loved earlier Burnout games so you might as well try the newest one.
Oblivion is way better on PC but really fun on consoles also. If you haven't played it yet, you might as well now. Pretty much everyone in the world loves Oblivion. The expansion is especially awesome (I think it's included on-disc in the Game of the Year edition).
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was one of the biggest surprises I had played last year. Myself and everyone else were convinced that it would be an awful Tomb Raider clone, but the game somehow pulled everything together to offer a game where the platforming, the shooting, the exploration, and the story were all pretty solidly OK. You have played games with better shooting, and games with better platforming, and games with better stories, but you probably haven't played a game that does them all competently enough. The end result is a game that does a whole lot of things, and does them all pretty well, and ends up being a much better game than each of its pieces would suggest. Trivia: The female love interest has small boobs and wide hips. This curiously made her one of prettiest girls in a video game ever. In listening to an interview with the game's director (who was female), I learned that the (male) character designers had originally designed a typical walking vagina with huge boobs et al. She was put off by the design and made it a major goal of the project to make all of their characters as plain and everyday as possible. The result is a staff of the most memorably uninteresting characters I've ever seen in a game.
It is unfortunately true that all of the really popular games on PS3 are also available on 360 and are usually marginally better on it. All of us that went out and bought PS3s are actually waiting for 2009, because that's when we'll finally have a steady stream of excellent Japanese games (did anyone else notice that lack of blockbuster Japanese titles last year?). So uh . . . welcome to the club!

Pregnant Man

It's still not a Pregnant Man.
Maybe Bearded Lady is more appropriate <3

Pregnant Man
I think it's fucking disgusting that anybody could be upset at all about this happening and anyone that is upset has obviously never met a transgendered person before. Can you even imagine what it's like to literally be different gender on the inside? I wouldn't say that some of you guys aren't acting like hardcore christians but rather ignorant bigots. It's a little funny and maybe I've gotten a chuckle out of how awkward a transgendered person looks when they try to integrate with society, but seriously it's one of the hardest things a person can go through and it's profoundly disturbing that anyone is actually offended that a transgendered person might perhaps still want to reproduce.
Besides, this is basically just a woman who has had plastic surgery who has been artificially inseminated. I acknowledge that Hormone therapy is actually a little more complicated than that. Still, basically the only thing making Thomas different from any other inseminated woman is that he has had his breasts removed and has taken a pill so that he can grow facial hair. He also insists on being called a man because maybe he feels like one. Does this mean he doesn't have the right to reproduce like the rest of us?
While we are on the topic of bigotry I have met a few homosexuals who are happy with how they have decided to live. Maybe I should introduce them to you!

So, what do you think? I was pretty disgusted with this when i heard. And what's worse is that he is happy with himself.

This one was wya too far-out to be convincing. Overall I was pretty disappointed with the video game April Fool's jokes this year. Usually you get some pretty awesome stuff (Sakaguchi buys controlling stake in Square-Enix during severe market slump), but no such luck this year.
Share Your Poems!
I will write *about* poems because I do not write them but I still want to participate.
Man, poems are such a touchy subject with most people because there are so many bad poems out there but yet there are so many teenagers who insist on writing them. And unlike vernacular writing, a poem does not have various levels of tolerability; any poem other than an amazing poem is a terrible poem. I cannot tolerate a poem that is anything less than top-notch whereas I can tolerate a second-rate novel. To be clear I'm not criticizing you personally because you were forced to write these and it's not like you created them specifically to shove them down our throats.
Anyway, I'd say your poems are better than what most high school kids write because there is no death and there are no roses. Seriously that's worth 10,000 points.
I like I Am From because it has a little bit of a Shel Silverstein vibe to it and he's pretty awesome. The poem is not pretentious at all, which is actually very noteworthy.
I would recommend that if you continue writing poetry that you focus on the flow of your lines a little more. The idea of a poem is not that you fit a meter very specifically but rather that every word is painstakingly-chosen to ensure that the lines flow from one to another in perfect harmony. In fact most good modern poetry follows no meter at all (you are very lose with yours). While your ideas are sincere and your imagery is vivid, your lines feel stilted and uncomfortable in a way that does not fele intentional.
Dude these are actually the three best rock bands ever.

News Flash with Kermit the Frog [7 Reasons the 21st Century is Making You Miserable]
author=kentona link=topic=389.msg11333#msg11333 date=1207149024
My disdain for religion grows everyday, and it just pisses me off how stuborn some people are when it comes to stupid ancient traditions. The Lottery by Shirley Jackson ought to be required reading...
Dude we are going to have to burn you at the stake for that.
Seriously though I really do think that if someone refuses to wear a hardhat at a lumberyard they deserve to be fired. Hardhats are basic safety gear and can mean the difference between a dropped hammer ending someone's life and being a funny anecdote. Religion is important to people for various reasons, but if someone wants to enjoy the benefits that secular society offers them they have to be willing to accept the respnonsibilities associated with secular society.
Also I think we will have to burn you at the stake a second time for calling referring to turbans as "hats".

MP3s VS MIDIS.
author=WIP link=topic=726.msg11298#msg11298 date=1207081619
Ehhhhhh sort of. MIDI is a format itself that the SNES doesn't use. It's a sequencing format. What the SNES uses is closer to that of a MOD format than MIDI.
MIDI is a broad term that describes something much broader than what describes a .MIDI file. Wikipedia:
MIDI does not transmit an audio signal or media â€" it simply transmits digital data "event messages" such as the pitch and intensity of musical notes to play, control signals for parameters such as volume, vibrato and panning, cues, and clock signals to set the tempo.
Any format that transmits event messages to something else that processes them to create music is a MIDI format. A MOD or an SPC is like a MIDI format with extra things tacked on top of it. When you work with MODs you are still encoding exactly the same data you would for a MIDI but are adding additional data such as including your samples with the file.
Seriously guys can we stop this.
Worst video games you've played this year
author=trance2 link=topic=842.msg11254#msg11254 date=1206994147
But I think the game that I got recently I play the least out of anything I've gotten has been Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker.
It's funny that you say that because out of several hundreds of dollars I've blown on DS games, Joker is the only one I have liked a lot (other than the first 1/4 of Final Fantasy DS before I realized that it was actually even *less* dynamic than the original NES game). Just like any other DQ game, the time it takes to grind is actually intended to discourage you from grinding. Unfortunately some people don't realize that and instead of trying to win hard battles through strategy would rather gain levels so that the battle is no longer hard for them. Dragon Quest games are the most finely-balanced jRPGs in the universe and it's important to trust the game's sense of flow rather than try to interrupt it by grinding.
I recommend that you just keep going ahead and try to play through the game and let the level-ups come as they do, breed your monsters when you can, and try not to break the system. Even basic rank E monsters can be incredibly useful if you keep them around and unlock new skills for them -- I remember using some rank E or D jellyfish monster all the way to the end of the game because it healed so many HP. It's an enormously fun game as long as you don't take your time too often.
Also once you get past the beginning of the game, all the monsters you catch are at a high enough level to breed right away. So again you are really not rewarded for trying to breed at the beginning of the game. Towards the end you can catch level 20 monsters to your heart's content and breed all sorts of zany combinations.
