Superthread LX - Celebrating Misanthrope's Birth

Wish I had some froghurt

Who would want to hurt frogs? That's just cruel.

I always thought they were knownas baseball caps. I find the straight brims amusing. When I was at school, you had to have a curved brim. Straight brims were extremely uncool. Ditto with fly-eye sunglasses (another fashion that has swapped around).

I remember my hat at primary school, the brim was curving back in on itself.

We only had baseball caps from year 5 though, before that it was only legionaire hats.

 

[afinalsin666]

Yep, if you had a straight brim in high school you were ridiculed in my day (early 90's).

Half the f**king kids these days wouldn't even know who half the teams were/are of the snapbacks they are wearing. I see 11-12 year olds strutting around with Charlotte Hornet caps on knowing full well they have no f**king idea the team doesnt exist anymore, though lucky for them their snapback becomes relevant again next year when Charlotte take back the name.

Even in my day (04-05). Hats of any kind were off, really. Hoodies were where it was at.

Who wouldn't want to hurt Frogs? Stupid cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

 

[Misanthrope]

Yep. Although you could hit up a recruit a friend and power level another class to 90 for shits and giggles if you are that bored.

I shouldn't joke, mmo addictions are akin to heroin.

That is literally what I'm doing now. Got a priest and hunter at 85 waiting for me to do the rest. Working on a shaman, warlock, and mage atm.

 

[Misanthrope]

Why not? I can handle a bit of sucking after 20 years of domination.

Nice to see you Dani. Hope you are well.

Come play mafia, lads!

How is Diablo Mafia JM? Anything happen yet?

:lol:

I try, but the mechanics are far too obtuse and disconnected for me. I'd love to traverse azeroth with elder scrolls gameplay, because I love the setting.

House sitting for mum. Bunch of Junkie f**kers making noise the last few days. So I've got MMLP2 on pretty loud right now. Good times.

Yep. I still bend the brim on new roosters hats :lol: I fear I shall be stuck in mid 90s trends forever more.

Fair enough. I get frustrated with the amount of needless, cartoony comedy in it. The setting intrigues me, but the Blizzard team's obsession with bad puns does not. The story seems completely irrelevant most of the time.

Looking forward to ESO.

I really want the Elder Scrolls Online, but there is no way in hell I'm paying $100 for a game, and then paying a monthly subscription on top of that.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Bloody hell, always thought Sharjah was a city in Pakistan. Spot the bloke who came first in NSW in a Geography competition.

Are you Greg Inglis?

Welcome back JM and dani.

It's annoying, but it's no more than I paid for WoW when it came out.

 

[Misanthrope]

Not sure why, but I'm bloody eager for a change of scene. I'm guessing it's just the 'two years' thing that seems to always unseat me.

Three more months and I'm free!

 

[Drew-Sta]

Hey! Jason Maher is back.

 

[Drew-Sta]

And Dani!

 

[Misanthrope]

And Cliffy!

 

[afinalsin666]

I'm excited for the elder scrolls part, but not the online part. It seems to have stripped all I love from ES to pander to the mmo crowd. Looking at screenshots, I can't see myself being lost in a huge forest and stumbling upon a shrine, for instance. There seems to be ample room, and the sense of scale that I really love seems to be missing. But I'm a sucker, so I'll probably get it and play it for a minute.

I'd be much more excited to just get a new Elder Scrolls game, but it's hard to say no to MMO money. I'm still surprised by how colossally bad the D&D equivalent was. Should have been a guaranteed money spinner if they'd used an existing setting and borrowed the WoW design.

Makes me want to play Oblivion or Skyrim again. I'm too much of a graphics snob to suffer through Morrowind, sadly.

 

[afinalsin666]

Morrowind 2011 bro. You can probably still find that shit on pirate bay. Makes it look prettier than crysis.

I can't handle Morrowind's handling, but if it is only graphics and not gameplay you're worried about have a look for it.

Obviously watch it in 720p. The guy who made it tied a bunch of mods together and made them work nicely. Sadly,the individual mod creators cried over it, and forced him to take it down.
