Here's something that pisses me off: Ebay seller who have a "make a best offer" option, refuse any offer you give them, and then respond by lowering the price by a frickin' dollar. Shit has happened to me twice in the past coupla months. Stuff just rots in ebay stores, I make an offer (not low ball, mind you) and they counter my offer by lowering it a damned dollar.

On the other hand, if the intention was to insult someone who stole from me, I'd use every insulting word I can come up with, including racist slurs, to refer to that person. There's just no point in being culturally-sensitive with a person who steals 8)

I re-read my post and I can't see how it's confusing, but I apologise if it is. Maybe read it one more time? :idea:
Yep. Makes sense now - must've been my need for sleep after all. :)

The most grammatically correct tosser I've seen on YouTube for a while.

I'm been harsh on Rising Star in the past but that's just plain stupid. He's obviously covering up for his lack of intellectual skil in this matter as well as his childish belief that Machinima is anything but a typical mainstream reviewer that can't understand arcade games - namely due to the reviewers being ignorant dickheads like himself. If he keeps failing to see reason I'm just gonna tell him to go back to his Naruto/Bleach wankery.

That'll teach 'im!

You know what else is annoying? Those two guys who spam up a good YT comments thread with some inane rivalry. Multiplier for spreading the contagion to forums filled with people who don't care. It probably would be permissible to just leave the guy alone...in fact, it would probably open up amazing expanses of free time to avoid doing that sort of thing!

Always negative, unpleasable, bitter people. Getting sick and tired of talking to people who's first reaction is to say everything is horrible.

When every new sequel to a game series you like is a shitty reboot or deviates so much from the original gameplay/universe that it may as well is.

People never having anything good to say about Resident Evil, yet somehow the numbers show everyone plays/watches/buys Resident Evil stuff. Just admit you like it, you'll feel better.

I'm a fan, but I'm choosing to ignore 6. 4 was amazing, 5 was okay but I don't want any more of that in a RE game.

When this girl who already has a boyfriend flirts with me and seeks my approval...sigh. Probably my own fault, I shouldn't be complimenting and giving her attention in the first place.

It's a fuck her or get out situation for the both of you. That's the ultimatum, hit it or quit it. Does the guy deserve her? Do you like the guy enough to not take her? If you do, forget it. Learn to talk to her like you aren't attracted. If you don't, tell the dude he's undeserving and THEN go for it. Do it the ballsy way, otherwise wash your hands clean of the whole damn thing and forget it. Do the right thing. You can still be her friend if you are honest and calm about it.

I like my best friend's girl but can't rightfully weigh her in comparison to my own, who is spectacular.

We always like our best friend's girl because your best friend has similar tastes to you. If your best friend is a douche then oust him and take his girl. If he's not then reinforce his relationship because you know what he's got, even if he doesn't. Help him keep shit together. You know what feels right, do it.

I'll tell you now, getting laid doesn't feel half as good as exposing a cheater. The first time I outed a bitch was better than losing my virginity.

You don't have to be a nice guy to be a good person.

I liked it up until it stopped being survival horror and became a cinematic TPS headshot simulator. Haven't touched the series since 4.

Give 4 another go, and think of it as a new game series. The old style is shunned by the masses (tank controls cry cry cry), so they can't get away with it anymore. To stay relevant they shifted into something new. In the end they do have to make money, it's just the way business works. Even storyline wise they met the movies halfway, evidenced by the laser hall scene in 4. I know that sucks, but the modern embodiment of RE really isn't bad at all. It tries hard to be cheese and succeeds. Forget survival horror, as an Action/Adventure game RE 4 & 5 excel.

4 is admittedly better than 5. 5 was sparse in comparison. 6 will probably remedy it since Capcom is obviously banking on the franchise right now. ORC was outsourced, so don't cite it. RE6 will be full up with goodies.

With any luck and with series support, the future could hold downloadable HD editions of RE REmake and Zero, or a dedicated console Mercenaries game. The 3DS Mercenaries was said to be a testing ground for it, which is why I bought it. GREAT gameplay in those modes.

I'm grabbing the PS3 Chronicles Collection day 1 just to support the series and because I love light gun games.

Dating this girl would be a problem for me (I won't get into details), but I like her enough to keep as a friend. I wanted things to stay that way but it really annoys me that she flirts with me when I know she wants nothing out of it. Especially now that she's doing it on my facebook wall for everyone to see, including her BF.

Right now I'm flirting back just for kicks, but I'm seriously considering cutting her out of my life now.

Yeah, that whole "flirting" thing is a real bad look. I don't give that kind of validation/attention to a chick unless it's going somewhere (i.e., we're gonna have sex). If I was attracted to this chick and I know there's no chance of anything happening, then I would not pretend to be "friends" with her. This isn't to say one should be a douche to girls that are taken or not interested in dating, but don't confuse this person/these people with actual friend(s) - whom you would not feel that way at all 8)

I appreciate the advice!

Right now, its not bothering me enough for me to take some action, but i know it will eventually.
its just entertainment for the time being..flirting with a girl who doesn't give a shit about me is somehow better than not flirting with anyone at all.
after all, its nice getting some attention, even if its in ill taste.

It's not like the classic RE formula wasn't successful. It just weren't successful enough to sate Capcom's greed.

Not interested in RE6. QTEs all over the place and movement while shooting? Count me out.
