Nate Diaz beating Conor Mcgregor. I fucking went ballistic.

Worst day of my life

The thing with them being simplified though is that they reach more audiences who otherwise would turn away. And then those that want more complex shit, have that to chose from still. So it really doesnt change anything but make more people play vidya.

IHDGAF how many people play vidya. When my dad bought our first PC, there was like 3 of them with latest generation hardware in five km radius... I was perfectly happy being one of ten having Internet connection two years later. Didn't play games to hang out with other people and discuss with them about vidya. That came later but I was never into it. For me, video games will always be exit from harsh reality we're living. Whenever some bad shit happened in our town, whichever that town may be atm, I was playing video games. School not working for half a year during NATO aggression. No worries, there are quality video games to kill time. For me video games are something personal, not thing I'll share with other people. Honestly no idea how I ended up playing multiplayer games. Probably has something to do with few of them being awesome. I really don't play mainstream shit, never did. Other than CS, but that was too big and unique to pass on. Happily avoided Dota and clones and will do the same with this new generation of action MOBAs like Overlord. Tried WoW, didn't stick on me. Crap mechanic and graphic style.

That is why I like people like those crazy loons from 80s and 90s who made games as great they could and didn't give a fuck about commercial success. Maybe they weren't played by as many people like some Pokemon game but I honestly don't care. They were great to me.

I dont like your opinions.

I have a happy memory for Gravoth;

In elementary school, we used to play with Pokemon,Megaman,Footballer cards etc. There were various game styles for those and if you gave enough cards to someone you could make them pay your lunch. They were worthy.

And I, was the Mafia of this thing. Yeah, I was the head of whole organization, there were some officers giving out loans and bringing more and when someone refused to pay back, he would find all of his cards stolen in one lunch break. I was also the bank, carried all the cards in a metal chocolate box.

We expanded so big, that we got attention from other groups. 4th graders had the same kind of organization. They complained about how we stole their potential preys and challenged us. Did Don Kratos accept such a challenge? Ofc I did, in the lunch break, all of the 3rd and 4th graders were watching this show. Even some teachers showed up thinking there was a fight,both sides had 3 cards in the beginning and it was duels of "Front or Back" till someone ran out of cards. -if you never done this in your childhood it is basically when you say front, both cards' upper sides need to face front when they hit the ground -

So he immediately said "Back" , however I wanted the back side, as it always was lucky for me. I lost the first one, at this point he was cheating, he had a card that had 2 back sides, glued to each other. I lost the second one as well and got a little angry, so with my last card I struck a little harder, it split his glued cards apart, dropping three cards on the floor. They were caught while cheating, and they handed their stash to us , we were the only big organization now. I had enormous amount of cards, I still have a part of the stash sitting in a locker.

Good times.

To equalize the dark zone entry earlier, I do have an happy experience I can share:

2009, I believe, I went with my dad on motorbikes to Norway for 10 days.
Probably had the best biking day of my life while there.

They drive from the sea level part upwards, we came from the other direction tho.
One of the bigger roads in Norway, we turned left and then spent over 2hours on a plateau around 900m high, early June, still snow at the side of the road, water puddles having this icy blue, down on the normal road the temperature was around 18°C, up there I froze my ass off at around 5°C.
The road was brilliant... narrow, winding like a snake, constantly changing direction, accelarate, brake, turn, accelerate... it was just freaking awesome.
Bike was brilliant, working underneath, making nice sounds.

Best motorbike experience I've had yet. My dad leading the way. A memory which will accompany me for the rest of my life. \o/

Might be hard to understand for people who never sat on a motorbike before and lack that certain connection to it.

My dad is pretty much a biker, in a biker club, owns a Harley etc. Very small club, they get together and do fun shit like drive through europe, and have done some charity runs (allthough the money didnt get accepted because every biker is a criminal apparently). Anyways ive had the pleasure of getting to ride around with him casually since i was a kid. Its a very nice experience taking long bike trips through the country sides of sweden. I might get a motorcycle license at some point aswell, seems well worth it.

Not much a friend of chopper myself since they take away and limit a huge part of one of the factors which make motorbikes so special:
the dynamic of driving...
...that said, I can relate to the fascination they create for a lot of folks.

My dad used to take part in offroad/motorcross competitions when he was young and basically introduced me to bike at a very early age.
First time I rode a bike, I was 6 years old, sitting in front of my dad on the tank...
...he even let me drive for a moment, taking away his hands completely, me holding the bars

Such things imprint themselves heavily in a childs mind, I guess. I couldn't live without bikes anymore.

Yup. It's the people that kill beat, not guns alcohol.

Why do you drink that shit? So as to escape from reality? Me, I don’t need that shit. I am reality. There’s the way it ought to be. And there’s the way it is.

[Gurgumul]

it's fun

Drinking doesn't necessarily mean getting drunk. Although I would imagine that for you the distinction is not clear.

If you think anyone is able to escape reality, by any means...I...I just don't...even

To get drunk you need to work on it. It's not some magical thing that happens without permission. You need to drink a lot of alcohol in short amount of time. People who get heavily drunk do it on purpose. So yeah, fear of alcohol that seems strong in our friend Panos is irrational. I've avoided drinking when younger for similar reason (my grandpa died from complications of drinking heavily for decades, he wasn't aggressive like some but his liver couldn't take it anymore).

But I've also stopped drinking alcohol, just like I have stopped consuming chocolate and some other substances. Yeah, flavor is great but I prefer being healthy.

* disclaimer *
All what i write, and all what I have written on this forum, or any other internet resource, is a work of fiction. It contains no real events, real persons, real opinions of the author, and has absolutely no documentary or factual value.

There was this time, over 10 years ago, when i used to hang out with some easy living young people, and i kind of "lost my way" back then, and i somehow ended up having random people at my place round the clock.
There was this guy, all of a sudden, who was constantly smoking bong and playing on my old back-up pc several days a week, and that other dude who "had to crash somewhere for a day or two". And these two fine gentlemen decided to make some cash by selling off some speed in smaller portions, cheating with weight, mixing it and whatnot...
Anyways, this crashing-for-a-day guy brought a gas-beretta in his bag one evening, he was rather drunk already. So we all three were playing with this gas-gun, taking speed, smoking bong, drinking jack daniels and taking gangsta' selfies - the whole shebang, hehe.
Being the host, i had to keep my eyes reasonably open, since we all three were rather irresponsible individuals etc. So before we got all too high and drunk, i took the magazine out and hid it away. But! As it turned out, there was one sitting in the chamber, or how you call that, the fact was, that one of the guys discharged the gun in the face of the other, just by cocking it.
The room got filled with that gas-crap, there was very loud gun-shot noise, so the neighbors heard it no doubt, and i had over 50g of speed in the freezer. Not to mention that we got bongs, half-smoked joints, half-finished lines, hash and weed on all of us and all over the place
I sent one of the guys out to keep the eyes on the road, packed the gun and speed in a plastic bag - ready to throw the whole thing out of the window if the police shows up, and the last guy, who brought the gun and discharged it, was too wasted to reason, and he kept mumbling that I can't throw that bag out, cause he didn't pay for any of that shit yet, etc.

Luckily for us, it all ended up with nothing. May be my neighbors didn't want to get involved, or no one was home.
Still, that evening is in my top 10 on a stress scale.
