Bloody Peta, protesting the rights of fictional creatures while euthanizing the real ones.

On a gaming related note just been sorting though my collection while moving into my games room - its amazing how crap you accumulate over the years, got about 40 games to go into the sale pile.

At this point, PETA has become a walking joke about themselves. I honestly can't tell if they're serious or trolling. I really can't... It'd make sense of Pokemon were a brand new thing, but it's not. Aren't they a bit late to hate it, much like SMB3? ... *sigh*

Basically, Peta does this stuff because people will talk about it, and once people start talking about the latest Peta shennanigans, they'll likely start talking about animal rights in general.

For those who actually read my posts in the gaming diary and are curios as to why i have played an extraordianary amount of shitty games this year...

I am fairly certain i have mentioned before i am in a year long scoring competition (GTASC link to my team: http://www.gtasc.net/team-51.php )

It started out with 100 teams comprised of 5 players each at the beginning of the year. Down to 14 teams now with 2 more getting eliminated tomorrow night.

I have really enjoyed being part of it as i have never done anything remotely like it before. It has driven me to play games i never would have and in the process met some people who i also probably would have never talked to otherwise.

The downside is i have skipped out on playing quite a few games i would have really liked to play just to stay in the competition because of the way scoring works.

With only 5 weeks(?) left i am really burnt out but still giving it my all. They have already posted rules for next year but i won't be competing. I wouldn't end up playing to win. And what is the point in joining a competition if your not going to try and win it?

[techwizard]

so that's why you've been playing so many crappy games. every time i saw your wall of text about phone games i was always like ugh why is he doing this Lol. glad to see it wasn't your regular choice of games to play.

[Izret101]

Looking forward to The Darkness 2, Borderlands 2, Halo 4, the long over due Crackdown and a dozen or 2 other quality titles.

I'll still be playing crappy games but I won't have to dedicate myself myself to them. I have managed to clear out a huge backlog this year though

Karateka launch video. Very well done and amusing

I drove by this new place in town called Veldt and this is all I could think of.

Not sure if its the right thread but whatever. My friend is going to take my Wii and mod it to put I guess a home brew channel so I can play ever nes and snes game.
Sounds awesome. I often become frustrated when my games don't work after cleaning them. This won't stop me from collecting actual carts

I love the artwork and nostalgia of it.
Anyone had this done ?

My team was eliminated by 256 points last night.
Nearly immediately after eliminations we put up over1k points lulz.

Placed 11th out of 100 teams. We would have gotten eliminated this week most likely. So it would have been awesome to make it to the top 10 but It has been a LONG haul this year scoring for the competition.

I am celebrating today by playing Halo 4.

There seems to be a new used game store opening up in my town. There hasn't been one here for several years, ever since Game Crazy closed. Well there is a GS but that doesn't really count. But now I'll have a real life independent game store to go to. I don't really know if this will do me much good in the end as I don't normally spend all that much on games. This year I have been somewhat of a high roller though.....Anyways new old game store!

[SirPsycho]

It feels good.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Yes. Yes it does.

[Izret101]

I approve!
I have a couple that have cropped up in my area but from what i hear prices>selection. Which makes me sad and not want to bother checking them out
