Red name and female. Sigh. No good can come from this.  :|

I'm fairly sure we have a few others hiding in the e-woodwork.

I could go back and check, but, well, you know. Effort.

She's from Simutronics, you putz. It's like me having "f13schild" as my gamertag.

Let's just say I had no idea how to introduce myself. So I just posted as if I'd been in these forums forever and everyone knew what kind of unders I wear.

schild - sorry to bring my work name into this, but my gamertag has some associations that I'd rather not pop up on google. So I decided against posting as myself.

Red name and female. Sigh. No good can come from this.  :|

Wait, wait. You mean a handle that's a portmanteau of real name and employer somehow isn't identifying?

No, I don't cyber.

somehow isn't identifying?

Welcome to f13, SimuKaren.

We eat our young.

Can you make me a game that has the look and feel of WoW, item interaction and housing of UO, and character customization and combat of CoH/V?  When do you think you could have that finished?  Thanks a bunch.

 :nda:

For some reason, this reminds me of that whole Fiasco around that Morgan kid.

portmanteau

Funny!

I seriously wish I could tell you when HJ will come out. But I can't. Because I don't know.

Why? We've got plenty of women around here, I don't think any of them are getting Harassed or cyber-stalked. 

Who knows, though. I could be wrong and their in boxes are stuffed-full with lewd PMs.

The next line is "don't stop" right?

I've never had a problem.  I cannot speak for the red-names though.

That's because I was under the impression that you were a gay man.  I'll start sending you lewd messages ASAP, or maybe after I get something to eat.  Or tomorrow or something.

No, see they're amusing because Lant is a woman into women. I might have to reconcile that somehow.

Not a bad first post thread.

Been trying to remember some good first post threads....   the "Hi, I'm Schild!" one and the voodoolilly link to some bizarre fairy-Korean-MMO thing.

Favorites anyone?

Wear a plunging neckline would be my guess.

Hiya!  I love the pink.

Please don't be mad at me for totally reading that the wrong way.

I don't remember my first post. I do remember reading LtM for about six months before realizing there were forums beyond the threads attached to the news posts though.

I'm just wondering what one does with neon pink hair when you go to job interviews.

It does a good job of detracting attention away from the nose. 

Oh, and thank you to everyone who has said that they like the pink. I, too, like the pink.  :evil:

I don't know how I ended up on Waterthread in the first place, but I know I became a regular reader with the Lineage 2 review.

I generally brush it, even occasionally put it back in a ponytail.

But seriously, nobody cares. Everyone who has talked to me since I dyed has liked it, and those who don't talk to me can sit on a pin.

Oh, and thank you to everyone who has said that they like the pink. I, too, like the pink.  :evil:

I have a coworker who's an out-of-the-closet furry. Comes in with raccoon eyes, ears and a striped hoodie every day.

So yeah, dyed hair wouldn't exactly make a ruckus here either.

Where in the holy hell do you work?

You're near teh Samwise ?

Gods, I did it again.  Don't tell Merusk and I'll be okay.  This is exactly what he was looking for a few posts up. :|

I work at a software company in San Francisco. As in, the city itself, not "the Bay area".

I bumped into some of the cool kids from Waterthread in Shadowbane beta.

My central memory of that time seems to hang on five or maybe forty patches - or very long crashes - when I left New Haven half loaded, and instead of going to the Bog of the Black Drake, headed out across the plains towards this week's DDH town... absolutely certain that no matter which way I turned I'd find people experiencing as many bugs as I was. No doubt at all about that...

There were terrain bugs in every direction, at any minute. If not across the Swathmoor Swamp, then up the Ivorri Mountains or down to Paundrill Plain... you could sb.exe anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was fun, that we were beta testing...

And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Tyrant and Smedley. Not in any commercial sense; we didn’t need that. Our gaming experience would simply own. There was no point in developing - on our side or theirs. We had all the trebuchets; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave...

So now, less than five years later, you can go to a web site in Ubisoft and scroll down, and with the rose tinted shades you can almost see the high-water mark — that place where the waterthread finally broke and rolled back.

I'd love for that furry guy to strut into the good-ole-boy real estate company I used to work for to see if he could make it out alive. Hell, they had problems with me because my hair was down to my neck.

Also, I thought Lantyssa was making a pass at the new girl too.

Is this a thread about a girl on the internet?

Jeez, where are all the e-knights? You guys are letting me down.

:(

It does a good job of detracting attention away from the nose. 

Rhinoplasty is a much better way to draw attention away from a nose. Or getting rid of shadows from glasses. Really it doesn't look that big to me. I think it's just the angle.

It really is just the angle.. I have quite the tiny nose (or so I'm told). I could post more pics to prove it... but anything that tries to follow a minigun is just asking to be shot down.

Please do, then I can call Ironwood a meanie.

I shall sploosh Strazos most valiantly for denying us more pixplz! Have at thee, knave! *sploosh*

My wife noticed your avatar and started bitching. She wants electric blue hair, but apparently that's not really a good luck for elementrary school teachers. So she's a bitch jealous there. :)

She is definitely hot but she is too young.

(Edited to change the wording from 'come across'.)

Note to all you lurker kids out there, making pics of yourself as your avatar opens up this kind of nonsense. Unless you are actually a cute dancing monkey like myself.

If I'm not mistaken, she's older than you, Falc.  :wink:

I don't know how Falconeer managed to be a mom and a dad without some sort of painful positioning...

I've been a dad for the 13 years now, for Raph's sake! (and a mom too actually).

Maybe we're too male?  :|

Ahh, THAT'S why you have the M.U.L.E. avatar. :rimshot:

Ahh, THAT'S why you have the M.U.L.E. avatar.   :rimshot:

Llava, that was BRILLIANT.

As for Cheddar, knowing his exceedingly subtle vocabulary to describe women, I'm about 100% sure that by using the word "hawt" he meant, she's not a supermodel. I think the word "hot" is saved for regular women. Hence the reason he followed "hawt" with "real person."

So relax and treat her like a person.

Kinda, yes, for that too.
Mainly because it's my favourite game ever.
But I really really admire D. Bunten.

I don't deny it.  I was aiming for funny, forgetting that it doesn't go over at all on the net.  I am teh Dickzor.

It's ok 'wood ol' buddy. I still think you're a mean, ornery Scottish dick.

Why do I always miss all the fun :(

As "Richard Ames" says, you're all just figments of my imagination.

Your feet smell funny and you display irritating body language and mannerisms!

Ironwood is hilarious. Girls who use rl pix of themselves as avatars are sad and desperate.

Oh!  Now we have a hat thread and a feet thread!  Everything in between is left uncovered.

What about birds who use rl pix of themselves as avatars?  Judge me too!

Oh, and I have no idea what this thread is about anymore, other than reviving a Signe nickname possibly.

I think this thread has set a record for posts over a weekend. No one ever posts shit here over the weekend. Oh, and I have no idea what this thread is about anymore, other than reviving a Signe nickname possibly.

This thread was merely the most popular thread over the weekend. The number of post was pretty low on Saturday and average yesterday.

Your imagination is really messed up!

Karma already took care of Ironwood...he has to live in Scotland.

I don't know what I did in my other life, but I suspect I dug up Mother Theresa and buggered her maggoty corpse.

What about birds who use rl pix of themselves as avatars?  Judge me too!

Really, is there anything cuter than turtle guts?

And it's funny that when I first edited my profile, I hadn't noticed that nobody else had a picture of themselves for their avatar.

Straz, just because you won "Most Likely to be a Serial Killer" doesn't mean it was bad for everyone.

I'm just happy only one person posted a picture. I almost have nightmares of the last time we did a RL pic thread.

Probably me? Signe maybe? Not sure.

Edit: Might've been you.

Soooooo about Hero's Journey...

Read Page 1 of this thread.

Mmmmm.... feet.

...wait, was that supposed to be an insult? If so, to whom was it directed? If it was toward me... thank you kindly for noticing! :P

My nose is a hell of a lot bigger than Karen's.

fag.

I did for a while, back when I was trying to get Uwe Boll to box me. But I've just not changed my avatar since I added this Christmas avatar.

There's nothing wrong with posting your pic as an avatar, so long as you expect to be made fun of mercilessly for any perceived or actual physical flaw, dress or furriness.

My favourite noses are the noses that look like asses.  I love those.

OTOH, Karen's nose is cute. If I was an Internet Tough Guy^TM, I'd kick your asses noses for saying otherwise.

That's a Christmas Avatar ?  Wow, I totally miss the context.

I thought we banned Internet White Knights from F13...

That's a Christmas Avatar ?  Wow, I totally miss the context.

Seriously though. I think I might have the biggest honker out of anyone here.

Why isn't this thread about boobs?

Edit for relevance:


( . Y . )

THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO!

He's like the Ghost of Christmas Past... FROM THE FUTURE! I love those episodes.

But I think I'll root around and find my picture avatar. I love my "Pity da foo'!"

Can we talk about people's imperfections again?

Ok my turn: I am a man.

Good, the playoffs are starting. No one is allowed to shave.

My baby has been sleeping on the same side of his head and his head isn't perfect anymore.

In that case shouldn't we start arguing about UO or NGE here then?

If you already have something in mind, then you should get the tattoo starting.....tomorrow.

Then by the time summer comes, it'll look cool.

Can we talk about people's imperfections again? My baby has been sleeping on the same side of his head and his head isn't perfect anymore.

My brother already has a few tattoos of his own, but he's saving for another.  I'm pretty much waiting for that, so he can give me the whole rundown on the etiquette and stuff, and for a little moral support.  Never done any sort of piercing or tattoo before, so it's a completely alien world to me.

Sometime this year, I want to get a tattoo.

Of boobs.

On my chest.

The first sentence was true, the second two are false but genius.

No.

What if we post copious charts with the argument?

What are you getting? I almost got the quake logo tatooed on my left biceps. I find myself a couple of years later thinking "omfg that was some stupid shit." Now I'm too scared to get a tatoo, because I'm positive it will sound like a really, really, really bad idea five years later :)

I wouldn't do that.

See, this is how it starts.  First a picture of yourself with pretty pink hair.  Then asking the guys if they want to get a little closer with a picture of your naked shoulder blade.  Before you know it, you've quit your job and you're running your own pay-per-view site called 'Prettiness Desecrated' and getting young fans to hand over the cash for the pleasure of wanking over pictures of you and an unnamed other female with a cucumber and a steady supply of buttplugs.

I'm guessing, of course.

I've never understood why people get tattoos on parts of their body that they never get to see.  Why get "body art" that you will not be able to view and appreciate?

Knuckle Tattoo's are the most fucking stupid thing on Earth anyway.

I've never understood why people go to college and study fields that they have no talent for nor interest in.  People do things for some pretty stupid reasons.

Blame these guys.

I never understood calculus.

Knuckle Tattoo's are the most fucking stupid thing on Earth anyway.  The face is the only worse place to put one.

Also I'm gonna get the Crow makeup tattooed on my face.  I will get soooo many chicks.

Definitely going to punch you in the neck just for saying that.

It's only a flawless victory if it actually happens...

It did (http://www.beautydestroyed.com/). (Link very NSFW)

See what just happened. Lum made me want Mortal Kombat 2 for my arcade cabinet. And Mortal Kombat sucks.

I can solve the Schrödinger equation in a new and unique method in my sleep.  Unfortunately, I can only do it in my sleep.   :| 

As my site took off I realized that this wasn't going to be an indefinite situation. I chose pr0n over EQII Dev because 1. It pays better; 2. I don't have to deal with being micromanaged (or managed at all); 3. After the management changed, I hated my job anyway and 4. EQII was going nowhere (and I HATED San Diego to boot). I only accepted the job at SOE because I loved my work in the first place; I took a serious pay cut from working in IT to work there as a fucking forum moderator. I loved it though...I MISS the damn forums sometimes...the haiku, oh my! But the work environment just became the utter suck so /endjob.

Wanna know what turned me off about SOE? Well, first off I watched a girl with NO experience at all get promoted over me because she waggled her tits at her boss. I'm not an office flirt whatsoever and tend to keep to myself, so I totally lost on that front because I wasn't willing to go the hoebag omg-let-me-sit-on-ur-lap route. I was more like "gtf out of my cube and let me work in peace, you fag" so, no promotions for me. Strike one. Strike two was the fact that executive staff at SOE just kept making idiotic decisions and leaving Community Relations to clean up the mess. They outright lied to the customer base on several occasions and made me, who would have preferred to say "yeah we lied, our bad", make up excuses and bullshit that I knew the customer base wouldn't buy. I HATED that. Strike three was the management change. I do not refer to the promotion of Gallenite - that dude was seriously one of my favorite people at the entire company and a total badass to work with - or really to Blackguard either because he busted his ass and really loved the game. Largely it was the "we want more but will give you less to do it with" atmosphere, the 65-fucking-page-long manual on how to be a good Rep written by Raph Koster, having meetings in order to schedule meetings (wtf??) and Brenlo constantly micromanaging everything once he got promoted. Prior to that, I liked him just fine and as a person I still do; I just would never want to work under him again because he wants in on everything and I hate that. All this, coupled with the fact that the job was completely dead-end unless I wanted to flash some titty or work 18 hour days + in unpaid overtime in order to kiss someone's ass hard enough that they would move me onto a different team pretty much killed the magic for me. I still have a good view of the company but yeah...I was just done with it. 2 years with no movement at all? Fuck that. If I have to jiggle my tits in order to get somewhere then I'll do that on my own time where I'll get paid more to do it. Pure logic, that.

Also, it's too bad this isn't a real catfight. I could use some girls madly tearing each other's clothes off right now.

Damn you,  internet.

Oh, internet.

What fucking internet are you on?

"Oh hi I have pink hair everybody! Yay for me! Hey! Everybody! This is what I look like! Want more?" Gimme a fucking break.

And the Needs Friends IRL Award goes to....

There's never action on IRC when I'm on. Even Ironwood doesn't come anymore.

Sounds like you need to set up a Vent server!

Pirates of the Burning Sea will be out in a couple of months. Then we can all annoy the fuck out of each other with bad pirate impressions while we wait for hours to try and register an account to play!

Some new dev chick posts here, looks cute in her pink-haired avatard photo. BFD. No offence to SimuKaren (I almost typed SimBeru) but I doubt I'd know who you were if you posted your l33t gamertag, and I doubt many here would give a shit.

... and high school sweetheart.

So what does Simutronics make/do? I'm too lazy to google it.

Stephanie Shaver: I can't disclose numbers. I can say the game is still being actively worked on, and that my job at the company is officially Lead Designer of the game, so my mortgage payment is dependent on us doing Hero's Journey.

From another topic, looks to me that Simutronic is the first Software House EVER to give the helm of a MMO(RPG) to a woman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephanie_Shaver) (not Karen by the way, for the lazy non-clickers). Tons, tons and tons of kudos on my part.

I read this entirely too fast and missed "annoy the" in the first pass.  For about 5 seconds, I had a completely different view of Way's persona.

I dunno.  I make a fuckload of money.

She is/was a producer.
And extremly hot is an understatement. She was like my-boyfriend-has-an-s-class-mercedes-and-you-make-way-too-little-money-to-ever-be-of-interest-to-me hot.

Top five movies?
Hero, Evil Dead 2, The Magnificent Seven, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Professional.

My bad. Try here. (http://hj.warcry.com/news/view/70548-Exclusive-Interview-Debuts-Site)


Anyway hope Karen can confirm it.

G4: If you were stuck on a desert island with only one video game, which would it be?
Jade: Am I on this island alone or with other people? If I'm alone I would want to have Tetris. Seems like a great way to go insane to me. If I'm with people then I'd like to have the Settlers of Catan, the best board game ever!

She's a man!!!!

Top 5 video games of all time?
My recent favorite is Resident Evil 4. Other all time favorites are Prince of Persia Sands of Time, Intelligent Cube, Tekken 3, Incredible Crisis, PaRappa the Rappa and Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Name your top three favoriate websites?

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Nothing post '94 Nintendo would make a top 5 list for me. Or even top 50 (not trying to be sarcastic).

Admittedly, I always thought Sega did cooler things in it's heyday (so it's not like I was a huge Nintendo fan to begin with), but after the SNES, my interests in gaming changed.

That is what the quote function is for, yes. :-D

Never quite grasped the hate of OoT. I love the game.

But I agree, definitely not a top 5 or so.

RPG wise though, Nintendo has always been outclassed (NES/SNES/N64, doesn't matter). None of that stuff deserves a top spot on a list when there were other games on their own systems that were better (read: Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, and Ogre Battle if that counts).

Never quite grasped the hate of OoT. I love the game.

But I agree, definitely not a top 5 or so.

I'm trying to make sense of this and am just drawing blanks (it's late, forgive me).  Are you making a distinction between games Nintendo developed versus games on their systems from third party developers?

Hate? If I remember correctly, Gamerankings lists it as on of the first 3 videogames ever (actually since the late 90s) just based on the simple average between website reviews. I'd link it but the site is under mainteinance.

He sure is. And he's right. Squaresoft, Enix, etc all put out better RPGs than Nintendo ever did. Hell, the best Nintendo RPG came from Squaresoft.

Ohh, I just didn't think why anyone would point out something so blindingly obvious.  I mean seriously.. FF3... common.

Dunno. She is pretty fucking hot.

Plus you're married and old :P

The Wii is obviously a Gamecube with a magic wand. 3.5Million people haven't noticed yet.

Doesn't account for obsolescence, therefore useless. Game scores are fluid. Even GI knows that, that's why they re-review shit.

RPG wise though, Nintendo has always been outclassed (NES/SNES/N64, doesn't matter). None of that stuff deserves a top spot on a list when there were other games on their own systems that were better (read: Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, and Ogre Battle if that counts).

I liked Wipeout more than F-Zero and I liked Twisted Metal more than Mario Kart. That's purely coincidence though, there's nothing wrong with Mario Kart of F-Zero.

That's the thing about opinions, though. Also, different people may not have player certain classics. It depends when you start playing the genre/platform and so forth. I've never Pllayed Thief/2 or Deus Ex, for example.

I could understand that for Strazos or Triforcer, for example (they were still tikes when the NES/SNES was out.... I think I recall Triforcer saying he hasn't even actually played the old Zelda titles......even though his name is Triforcer).

Then again, it can't be youth. Jade Raymond is around my age. So is Voodoolily, for that matter.

Don't bother arguing with me about something like that. Exactly where do you want to take it?

Even her top 5. I think she's lying. It's not objective. Link to the Past is the better game.

I can say that in real life with a straight face.

For the record, I was not too young for a NES or the original Zelda. I had a NES when I was 4, and beat Zelda when I was 4 or 5 (I only had my father help me with mapping the final dungeon).

Also, I also agree that LttP is the better game, but I still loved OoT. Hell, I even had the LttP guide from Nintendo Power for a year or two before I got the actual game, as I didn't get a SNES until I was 9 or 10.



I wouldn't even know where to start for a personal Top 5 list.

Dear FSM. I was working at Nintendo in the call center listening to little bastards like you call me 20x a day because it was an 800 number. Either you are really young or I am really old.

Stay the fuck off my lawn!

And for those saying people my age had to have played Link to the Past, the first Zelda game I played ever was Wind Waker on the Cube. I just wasn't interested back when I had an SNES, and I was working at an EB at the time so could have checked the game out for free. I just didn't care.

I think if I were to make a Top 5 list, it would have to be a series of lists, separated by era. The CGA era, the VGA Era, the Cartridge Era, the Console Era, and the MMOG Era.

Outside?

This is where you make a not-so veiled thread to break my ribs or somesuch and I quiver in fear?

 :roll:

Where the hell does Colecovision's TANK! fit in your list? Goddamned infants. Bitching about bump-mapping and anti-aliasing and crap. WE HAD BLOBS THAT WENT PING! AND WE WERE HAPPY!

Can we get back to hawt chicks we'd nail please ?

You're all making me sad.

I have those covered too. Defender of the Crown is another one of my favorites from that time (i.e. not a console game).

Where the hell does Colecovision's TANK! fit in your list? Goddamned infants. Bitching about bump-mapping and anti-aliasing and crap. WE HAD BLOBS THAT WENT PING! AND WE WERE HAPPY!

I really loved those biplanes. Combat was an Atari favorite. I think I liked Defender and Centipede more though. Centipede is still great.

Oh, and that biplane game on Intellevision was awesome. That console got shit on for having weird controlers, but it had outstanding games for the time. Utopia, for example.

My grandparents had the actual Pong console... Two controllers with just a dial on them, no buttons.

Utopia is one of my favourite game ever. Probably a prototype of the first multiplayer RTS ever. And Intellivision, for all I know, the only gaming system ever to sport a 16 directions pad. Which I loved. Those were the years...
But I could go on with tons of non-console games too. From Zork to M.U.L.E. through Ultima, Archon, Summer Games and Pit Stop well, it was tough to play without a Personal Computer back then. But the list could go on for ages and there would be no way to avoid forgetting stuff. Be it consoles or PCs, videogaming was so exciting.

Geez, I have a good memory. I remember it being an artillery game or something.... But me and my friend could get it to load right. So I never got around to playing it.

[EDIT] Oh wait, you're still talking about Air Sea. I'm talking about the biplanes in Combat (they had them too....except it was only biplane vs biplane fights. Funny stuff).

If you ask me, and I know you didn't, I feel OoT outranks LttP by a small margin.

Go and try playing them again having played next gen stuff. See which one holds up and turned out to be the b etter game.

I still fire up Wizardry I and goof around with it every once in a while.

I'm replaying an Open Source port of the 3DO version of Star Control 2. Nirvana.

2D stuff just holds up better. There's nothing uglier than the PS1/Jaguar/N64 era. NOTHING.

The Atari era looked better.
