Well, I'm Canadian, and I have an interesting story. I live in a border city, and often, Americans come to drink in my city because the legal drinking age in Canada is 19.

Anyways, I was downtown at a bar last night with my friends last night out for my girlfriend's birthday, and so I went to the washroom to pee. As I pee'd, some guy stands at the urinal next to me and starts talking to me.. he's like.. "So, I'm from ohio, from america(durr really...), and I've noticed you guys put ice in the urinals, we don't do that back where I'm from, so is that some kind of Canadian thing?" SO I'm like.. "Uhh.. I'm not exactly sure, but I suppose its to stop the splashback... and besides its kinda cool to melt the ice." So then he says "I kinda wish they had something to aim at, but I guess your idea works.. then again its Canada, you know with the hockey and stuff.. so ice makes sense."

He leaves and then I look towards the washroom attendant and we mutually shook our heads thinking something along the line of "Stupid americans..."

Oh please, "The internet is for porn"

I guess I browse around normally, my girlfriend doesn't mind either, considering she's the one recommending me websites lol. Same vice-versa, I setup her new laptop with a bunch of sexy porn links. Either way, it may sound odd to most normal relationships, but we have a great relationship in that certain area (so don't fret, porn isn't bad :)), and besides, I suppose we could always make our own porn.

The best part is when they get jealous AFTER they tell you previously to start dating other people. Hilarious

Yeah, I still have FF12 to finish... I bought it close to when it was released.. I think I only got to the first temple.. and after losing to the boss so easily and realizing I had to run around and level up for hours sucked. The other problem with FF12 is that the gameplay was TOO similar to the online FF 11, which I had played for about 3 years. Every other FF was better, but I will eventually beat FF12.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance comes to mind as well, I've even played it recently/ I LOVED Final Fantasy Tactics for PS1.. I still play once in a while.. but FFTA I just keep forgetting about it and I restarted sometime last year because I had gotten halfway through the game, and I forgot how to play, what I had setup.. everytime I play is like relearning the game.

Another game that's been sitting on my laptop installed for month is Knights of the Old Republic. It's a nice game.. its well liked by everyone.. but I can't seem to sit down and play it... I'd rather play FEAR or one of my PS2 titles.

As for other PS2 titles, I'd have to say Xenosaga 2 and Okami doesn't seem to do it for me. They're not bad games.. I just have no interest whatsoever for them. I think I lost or broke my okami disc anyways, I don't remember.

[QUOTE="2ndWonder"][QUOTE="The_Ish"] Well, that ends the thread. :P

Bwahaha...
*throws a phoenix down at the thread*

Woo I revived it!

Damn.. stop making this an undead thread... or else my phoenix down will kill it.. (which is the correct way to kill zombies).

Well, well I guess I can give a good answer on this one. Being easily succumbed to being depressed myself, having to pick up the pieces.... you tend to learn what causes it and how to deal. By no means are any of the following steps easy whatsoever, but hey.. you wanted the answer right?

First of all, stop thinking negatively, because that sends you into a spiral of worse and worse thoughts that just basically does you no good. Think positively...

If you don't know how, seek advice from either your friends or even from a professional if you must. Do what you feel works best for you, as I say, every situation is different. The major issues it to sort out your thoughts and know that stress is very detrimental to your mental (and physical) health.

Second of all, remove anyone or anything that is stressing you out to the best of your ability. Stressed over debt or school? Figure out a budget and pay off your debts.. do better in school or change your subject, just don't sit there and do nothing.

Your parents bothering you? Make sure they understand whats going on, and talk to them, otherwise if they don't listen, then try something els.e. its really dependant on situation.

Got a significant other (or ex..) that just doesn't give a crap about you and only cares for what she wants? Move on.. find a girl who actually appreciates you for who you are and actually makes you happy, instead of leaving you depressed and wondering why you bother(ed) in the first place. I mean.. I did...

Third...

Re-evaluate yourself. If there are things about yourself you don't like, change them. If there are things about yourself that others don't like... look into seeing if its true. If people think you're stupid, cold, jealous... whatever it is.. determine whether that is your true nature.. or simply a misunderstanding. Most people tend to accept negative criticism as truth without second guessing it.

You are your own person and only you know yourself best. Self improve yourself and learn from your mistakes whenever you can.Shy and introverted? Get a job where you have to talk with people.. make friends with random people and learn to talk to strangers (as silly as it sounds). If you tend to be jealous, cold or depressing... become more cheery, helpful and think over things realistically when it comes to jealousy in a relationship, in my opinion.. there should always be trust in a relationship, I don't think I'd bother with a relationship if I couldn't trust my significant other, and its a lot less stressful.

Overall...

Use common sense, think realistically and determine what is best for you.

Any questions?

Vista eh? Well I can say vista is one of the most poorly designed OSs over its predecessors. Vista was basically designed to be "easy" to use, however does not give the option to keep the original classic layout, or switch to upon install. Where is the professional version, 6 versions that all assume everyone who uses Vista is a computer illiterate idiot?

Poor driver/hardware support does not help at all, and its pretty sad when its been proven that XP is safer than Vista's current state. Sure, vista may be shiny and has a bunch of neat graphical improvements, but they are highly unnecessary, and consume way too many resources than what should be required. Linux's Compiz/Beryl can produce the same window effects on a crappy syetm, where as Vista requires a better than average system than what most people have in their homes.

Either way, I don't see anything going for Vista, as it was even called a disappointment recently by a major company's head CEO(too lazy to check who exactly.. tbh).

Honestly, I was hoping for a Starcraft MMORPG... but I'd say its pretty hard to manage two mmos at the same time.

I'm glad they are realizing that they should stick with the original 3 races and focusing on the same balance as the original Starcraft. It's a really hard game to make, consider what a high bar starcraft has set. I hope they don't screw it up much like they have Warcraft III :P (Don't get me wrong, I like warcraft III, but it wasn't better than WC2 or even starcraft :P) 

I love dawn of war.. its like starcraft 1.5...

There are just lots of expansions though.
