What Games Are You Playing Right Now?

Finally went out a bought Kingdom hearts 1.5. Time to replay these beautiful games in HD before the third game. These games hold so much value to me. I can literally remember seeing the commercial the first time on tv, the moment i got the game on boxing day from toys r us And the damn struggles i had that night on destiny island lol.

 

uhhmmm, I'm pretty sure the topic is video games, not mind games.

 

It's rarely the same with stepparents as real ones. Both the kid and new boyfriend don't really want the other one around. No biological attachment to that kid right? He's just an obstacle to mom's fun holes. The kid can see that as well as you can.

 

My mind game was largely made up----but since you mentioned it----I have 5 step kids, and I was the first true father they knew---in the sense that their father was never really much of a father and didn't spend much time at home. My son was born to their mom years later. My wife and stepkids are Filipina, and so there is particularly a bond between the oldest son and my wife that is typical in Philippine culture that aggravates the dynamic you speak of.

I tried my best to be fair and equal with all of them. My son was the baby of the family and of course was showered with attention and love from all concerned. He was also a second oldest son, and their was once again that same bond between mother and son. Some of my stepdkids felt jealous at times that he was getting advantages they didn't, and I don't know how well they understood that we were in different economic situations at the time they were the same age. Their first Christmas with me in the family had us buying so many toys in the Philippines that I remember parents and their children, with their one or two toys, staring enviously. But I bought as many toys for each of them and of equal quality, which was different from before I entered the picture when the oldest would get the most and the best toys.

But a number of years later---after my son was born we faced economic hardship----my first wife had seized my assets in Japan a few years earlier (she literally stole them with forged signatures, breaking into my condo, etc) and our business in the Philippines went belly up. We made our way back to America after losing our house, and all kinds of wealth. My wife was swindled by her sister of 10's of thousands of dollars of her jewelry, which was sold and the money used even before we knew what had happened I had 2 rolex and 1 Tag Heuer watches stolen from me----we basically came to America broke and destitute. There are many many more details I could add.
My oldest stepson was a pain from the first day I met him. First week in America and he rung up over $800 in bills to 900 numbers on my parents phone. I have bailed him out of jail numerous times (nothing serious, but very stupid) I have paid for attorneys to keep him out of jail, I've made countless car payments and pulled cars out of possession, and so on and so forth. When my wife's grandmother passed away, and we had to rush to LA to renew her Philippine passport to get her to the Philippines he had a party while we were gone. Some of the kids had a fistfight and broke the fence and ended up fighting in the neighbors yard, who, luckily for him, did not call the police. They trashed my office, our house keys were stolen, there was puke all over the basement carpet, and so on and so forth---but worst of all I had a priceless teabowl in my office----one of the last items of wealth I had from my days as a Securities Analyst for Shearson Lehman Japan----it was made by a famous 17th Century Japanese artist and there were only 5 known bowls in existence. It was uninsured because I didn't have the money to insure our valuables and artwork. (It was the last of a very valuable collection of Asian art and antiques I had collected in Japan and that my first wife stole from me---I happened to bring this one to my parent's home the Christmas before she did that)-----Anyway, they broke it, and even the pieces were thrown away to hide the evidence. He has been a constant wedge in my the relationship between my wife and I.

Anyway he has worked steadily for the past 2 years or so---not the same job, but at least steadily (and at least his jobs now last longer than a week or two). He lives in my basement, he is 38 years old. He likes to buck horns with me---which I do not like because my own family showed respect for each other than that (though he sometimes tries to do the same with his siblings too). I could go on and on about him, but... I am very close to all my other stepkids. I have tried long and hard with him, but I no longer have the patience to deal with him.

Sorry to go off subject----I simply wanted to make a joke about the games people play.


------But in terms of this game-----I must be on a level 39 or 40 at least-----and I am sure I have gained many bonus lives considering that I haven't killed him...

 

Playing this stupid 8 ball pool game on my phone. I've won 6/6 and it didn't hold my interest. =\

 

I finished Uncharted 2 today. The stealth segment I was referring to earlier was where you had to steal the seemingly-valueless artifact in Istanbul very early in the game. This is the part where you could not be spotted at all, and if you were spotted it would reset you back to to the beginning of the area. I found this part very irritating. Thankfully there was no more of this in the game. When I am entering an area with lots of enemies I prefer to take out as many of the enemies as I can with stealth.

 

in what way? as far as i can tell, playstation controllers have been pretty much the same since the ps1. if anything, the ps3 is the first one that's not so cheaply made that it breaks the first time you drop it (or throw it in frustration).

 

The PS3 controller was like a banana

 

Mancala, believed by some to be the oldest board game in the world




Hotwater

 

it turned brown in the fridge?

 

Yes.

An it was also shaped like a banana.

 

Warzone 2100



An old RTS classic, now free and open source.
Also portable!

 

Subway surfers.
And wwf's

 

yeah, yeah, yeah, but what are the graphics like?

 

pfffff!
that's not an "old classic", hell it's got 3-d rendered stuff.
Now this is classic RTS gaming;
Warcraft:Orcs and Humans, one of the first RTS games and first game in the Warcraft franchise.


I still have this game around here somewhere.....

 

I'm currently playing FarCry: Primal. It's ok. I can't find any deer. Don't know why. They're on the game's map, but whenever I go to the location on the map where the deer are supposed to be there's nothing there but the usual landscape. No animals. I don't get it. Might be googling this and spending time on the game today.

 

They are 3-d!

 

Command & Conquer and C&C Red Alert are both still playable in DOS mode via DOSBox.

I'm still working up the nerve to play Betrayal at Krondor...

Ever heard of Gene Wars?

 

You will love 3!

Yeah getting resetted too often in a row after making a mistake is one thing, but when you have to redo all the things you did right every time as well it gets annoying fast. I guess I went through that Istanbul part pretty well as i don't recall much irritation from that part myself! Not implying anything about your stealth skills

 

Seems like a game i would enjoy too. Except if the game world would be too empty. Maybe you're at an early point in the game and you're not supposed to go hunting (there) yet? Just a guess!
