Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Zuljaras About the not drinking, you mean? Mostly joking, but with a kernel of truth (and perhaps a bit of stereo-typing): I've honestly never met someone from an Eastern European country, who doesn't like a healthy intake of beer, wine or any other kind of alcohol, so it came across as something you don't hear every day. Meant no offense, though.

As for E3: it's the focus and compactness of the event and showcases that creates the hype, tension and buzz, both in gamers and in gaming media and gaming companies, so a bunch of individual videos spread thin across several months could never replace that, regardless of personal opinions and/or preferences. I'm obviously looking at it from a business point of view, and with my sales & marketing glasses on. And perhaps needless to say, also not just from a "what did Nintendo have to show" point of view, but for the ENTIRE gaming industry.

@ThanosReXXX I know what you mean about the drinking. I do not know one person that does not drink at least beer.

My on the other hand drunk alcohol in the past but not anymore. I just do not see reason in it except for the "cheers" part

@Zuljaras Ah, well, to each their own, so good on you. Personally, I don't think that there needs to be a specific "reason" for people to enjoy whatever it is that they want to enjoy, whether that's drinks, food, smoking wares or bed partners...

Life's too short as it is, already, so we better enjoy it while we're here. As for me: I only drink on Saturday's, or perhaps the odd Friday, when there's a birthday or party or something, and I never binge drink, so I just do it because I enjoy the taste of it. So, a nice cold beer on a hot day, and otherwise, a couple of Bacardi Cola's, usually never more than three on one night, and four at the most.

@ThanosReXXX I remember I enjoyed Tequila until I got lost in the woods one time

@Zuljaras Oh, I've had quite a few of those events happen to me when I was quite a bit younger, but I'm long over that now. Hence the no binge-drinking, but just really savoring/enjoying the moment, making it last longer and having it be a more conscious experience instead of simply just the umpteenth drunken stupor...

@ThanosReXXX That is the right way to do it

When I was drinking it was because of teen novelty. After that I realized that I do not like the taste of alcohol

@Zuljaras But... but, there's SO many different kinds. How would you know for SURE?

@BabyYoshi12 Only a small percentage of alcohol is fizzy, so that's no excuse, good sir...

@BabyYoshi12 Are you, though?

@Heavyarms55 why do you need to leave?

@ThanosReXXX I know ... I dunk many of them and I have not even tasted 30% of them but still the alcohol does not make my stomach feel good anymore even in small drinks

However sometimes I would love to taste some of the drinks I see in movies or games

What game moment made you say “F this game” and you haven’t beaten it since?

Mine was one of Super Mario Sunshine’s secret stages. I forgot which one made me quit, but in general all of them were bad TBH

@Zuljaras Haha, I can honestly say that I've never gotten any ideas or got interested by drinks I saw in games, so that's a new one for me. Can't even remember the last game I've played that actually had a drink in it. Well, at least not one that wasn't a potion...

@BabyYoshi12 Erm... just out of curiosity: did I step on any toes here? I was just kidding, you know. And besides, I've seen you post comments that might actually indicate that you're a full-grown adult, so even though it was a joke, I kinda did honestly wonder.

Kurikin : Nano Island Story NDS
The Final Boss was ridiculous hard (level 45) even i used high level bacterias (level 60+).
Unfortunately the Bacterias i used
were Alkali pH bacteria while the battle should use Acid pH bacteria. The opponent's colony were too many.
My Alkali Bacterias couldn't replicate themself quickly in Acid stadium.

Dillon's Dead Heat Breakers 3DS
Last month i was upset after my Dillon died during fight against Final form of Grock.
I wasted 30 minutes of very tough battle against Grocks.
I was running out of medicine too.
I stopped playing and refused to replay that level again even just 20 - 30 minutes.
I might play again once my mood is ready to play that game again.

@ThanosReXXX

1. StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty - Jim Raynor drinks waaaay too much whiskey in the bar and in the cantina.
2. WarCraft emphasizes on the dwarven ale from time to time and it looks delicious.
3. Not really an alcohol but damn I want to drink Nuka Cola from the Fallout series!

@DenDen My contract is up, and although my coworkers want me to stay, to the people, roughly 4 or 5 levels up the food chain, I'm just a number on a piece of paper and my contact was for 5 years with no renewal.

To be fair, the idea is that, after 5 years, a foreign teacher of English has assimilated enough, and grown out of touch enough, with his or her own native culture, that the key benefit of having a foreigner in the classroom is lost. Fact is, I can't despite that. But that doesn't mean I'm happy with leaving...

@Apportal When I jumped through the Bob-omb Battlefield painting in Super Mario 64 DS. Not sure what happened, but I quit shortly after.

Also getting to Buoy Base Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy. I was confused and didn’t know what to do, so I planned on coming back to it, but I’ve been holding off do to certain rumours.
