So I don't know about the rest of you, but I do a lot of stupid things. I also do a lot of stupid things while I'm gaming. They're things that I shouldn't do, serve no purpose, but I can't help it. By this I mean things like turning the controller like it was a wheel while playing driving games (though I don't do this).
Here are my stupid tendencies:
1) "Na na na...ah ah ah..." I think I'm trying to say "no no no" but it comes out as "na" or "ah". I do this when something bad is about to happen to me in a game that I wasn't prepared for. For example, I'm currently playing through Half-Life 2: Episode 1 and in one room, right after a load, there are a ton of explosive barrels and those little explosive mines. I didn't know about this and ran straight into the room to meet my inevitable death all the while saying "na na na...ah ah ah..."
2) "Yep!" followed by "Uh HUH!" then "fuck..." and finally "FUCK!" Occasionally, I can't get past a very obnoxious part in a game. The chain above represents the flow of phrases from least irritated to most irritated. This happened a lot during Super Meat Boy.
3) My actual head moves out of the way of a video game object careening toward the screen This happens more often then I would like in FPS and during baseball games like The Show when the camera is set from the catcher's position.
4) I get sick to my stomach when I fall from a great distance This is a weird feeling. It happens a lot in first-person games where you're allowed to fall from great distances (games like the Elder Scrolls games). I don't get nauseous. It's like how my stomach feels on roller coasters.
What are the dumb things you do when you're playing a game?
" @JasonR86: No I don't think it has to be explained for every character. That is not what I said at all. It simply seemed to me that it worked for Zevran, while didn't really fit Anders. To me at least.
Hey man. I do have some stuff to say to this but I want to put in a quick qualifier first. Whatever I say, I don't mean to offend. I look at this as a discussion about opinions. You're not wrong to feel the way you do.
Alright, about the topic that we're discussing. I have a problem understanding how a sexual orientation can work for one person but not another. Whether it is that sexual orientation is a choice or an in-born trait, the orientation is decided upon by the individual based off of the gender that individual finds attractive. There are no qualifiers beyond this. So, how can a bisexual orientation work for Zevran but not Anders? The only way it would work for Zevran and not Anders is if Zevran found men and women attractive and Anders didn't. You said that, based off of how Anders acted in Awakenings his identity as a bisexual doesn't fit the character. I never played Awakenings so I don't know if that's true. But, it can only be true if Anders, during Awakenings, had explicitly said that he was heterosexual. If he didn't, there is no basis for this claim. There's no 'bi' or 'gay' persona (this is referring to your previous post where you said Anders/Justice couldn't be bi based off of his persona) that a bi or gay person must meet in order to have that orientation. This orientation is entirely, absolutely about the gender that person finds attractive. Anything else added to that is based off of stereotypes and popular, but ignorant, conception as to what is 'homosexual' and what is 'heterosexual'.
I counted 58 people (represented by avatars I counted) in that image. Lets say there were 5 likes, on average, for each post. That's 290 idiots. As of 2009 census, there are 307,006,550 people in the US. That means that these idiots represent 0.000094% of the US population.
