Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I dont play crappy xbox games :P and hi guys

Good thing that's not a crappy xbox game. :o

Not everyone likes Gears of Genericwargame

Oh really? I was unaware, thanks for the info!

Ugh...FPSs are the bane of my existence.

Here's your queue to laugh along with laughtrack! It has to be funny if there's a laughtrack, you know? LOL!


EAK! They allowed alcohol on Sorority Row? That was a big no no! We had to go to the back porch to smoke too. No imbibing or smoking in your letters either.

A Freshman fell out of a three story window at a house party at the beginning of my senior year of college. Surprise! He was drunk!

EDIT: Don't they have "housemothers" at the sorority houses there?

/wave

I personally do not like Gears of War but that does not make it generic by any means. It revolutionized a LOT in modern games and is probably one of the best Xbox exclusives out there. I'm just not a fan of the third person thing.

In fairness, the cover system was an innovation and very very well implemented. It does have an original gameplay so I don't think generic is a fair analysis :3

What did it revolutionize? i mean i dont play it AT ALL so idk...i dont like 99.9% of xbox games

It was the first shooter to really nail a cover mechanic, something that's been used in almost alllll recent third-person shooters nowadays, same system they used in GoW and everything.

It also introduced Horde mode, a co-operative mode that's you and three friends vs waves of enemies. It's been recreated in Treyarch CoD games as Zombies, MW3 as Survival, Halo ODST and Reach as Firefight...

It had an intelligent reloading mechanic where if you had good timing, you could reload faster and get a temporary damage boost to your bullets for a few seconds. Used in a few recent games, none of which are coming to mind atm >.>

It's not allowed, just no one really cares about those rules here. Not ALL of them behave that way, of course, but that's the reputation they've earned for themselves overall. I've met some really decent frat boys and some really nice sorority girls, but in general... the Greeks on this campus are here to party, not to learn.

Anyways. Last year or the year before alone we had 3-4 students get drunk at Greek parties and fall out of windows, there was an investigation last year or the year before because some girl went to a frat party and got drunk and claimed some of the frat boys raped her, in my Comm class the only frat boy in the class gave colored condoms out to all the girls in the class (stood up to give his speech and handed them out in the middle of class in front of god and everybody), and they drink and smoke in their letters all the time. There's an annual 'Anything goes but clothes' Greek party in which anyone who attends can't wear clothing. You can wear something else to cover yourself, but not clothes. It's popular for girls to go wrapped up in Twister game mats. >.> Charming.

But they do good things too! Two frat boys were sitting on the roof of their house a couple years ago and saw a man run by acting suspicious. They chased him down and stopped him, turns out he was a thief that had just robbed someone. There have been some really smart and nice sorority girls in some of my classes, and I have a couple of them on Facebook. Not all bad at all.

How anyone can sue anybody for anything when they are mortal drunk is beyond me.

That's one way to have Nationals come in lay the banhammer down. I'm surprised they haven't already if the situation is that ban on campus. Have they released the name of the sorority and chapter?

That's hmmm...The most comparable story I have to 'Anything goes but clothes' is Zebra Run, but that was a fraternity. Sororities were not allowed to join in rituals like that EVER!

EDIT: That's complete ***that they're suing the university and the sorority for their child's incompetence! I'm kind of stewing now. Are there articles?

DOUBLE EDIT: Do they have housemothers?

POLO

Screw bastion, takes forever just to see an attack...

FISH OUT OF WATER

Then the mobs turn up and disappear again before you can kill anything ._.

/jumps back in

Many games have had cover mechanics (mostly third person games... MGS1 comes to mind back in like 2000).. maybe they did it WELL, but it wasn't revolutionary by what you're describing.. The quick load, i'll give you, though that mechanic sounds kinda lame... dmg boost cuz you can spam a reload button? thats what it sounds like... idk... And the waves of enemies thing... I wouldn't call that revolutionary either >_<. I'm trying to think of a game that has had that in the past... I guess you could say every dynasty warrior game...They have droves and droves of endless enemies until you actually clear your objective. /shrug idk mate

I HEARD YOU SPLASH, YOU CANNOT FOOL ME

Survival mode is ollllllddddddddd

imo rainbow 6 vegas had the best cover system

ACK! My plan has been foiled!

Bleh. Hit [+] limit already.
