recently went through the Blade franchise as I didn't remember much and I loved the first two. especially Blade 2. love the universe Del Toro created which I think is the basis of The Strain. I wish the guy would return to what he is good at. he has gotten too Hollywood-ized lately imo.

Hello everyone I hope this is the right place to ask this,

what I want to remember is the name of a side scrolling war game I used to play as a child. from what I remember it was either on Panasonic 3do or PS1. I remember you'd play as a character who was wearing a green suit and had a Rambo like hair style I think. I also think I remember him being armed with an M4. I remember one of the missions was set in a burning ruins of a city and was fairly atmospheric for the time. and I also think that the character was larger than usual..compared to perhaps Contra characters. well this is what I think I remember, hope someone can help.

thanks in advance.

Thanks for using the right thread.

The first game that came to my mind was Metal Slug, could that be it?

surprisingly, after years of looking actually I found the game I was looking for, if anyone interested it's Phoenix 3. it's not exactly what I described I guess but close enough!

Hi, thanks for pointing out this thread to me, no it's not metal slug. It was more realistic looking than MS.

The entire world is trying to cure cancer and it still kills millions. You are one person who doesn't even have a medical background. You may not have saved your Mom, but you have my respect for fighting as hard as you did against all odds. Your Mom was lucky to have you there for her.

You seem to be a strong and determined person. I hope you are able to get through your grief and someday find someone or something that inspires you and drives you, as much as trying to save you mother did. And I hope in that endeavor, you find success.

I deleted my original response to you as it was irrelevant. what you said about inspiration is true. I had never noticed it but the truth is that through my whole life I've been struggling with lack of motivation. this fight when we were doing good, actually reversed my depression. I completely stopped taking all my meds which i had been on for around 10 years. thanks for what you said.

You shouldn't blame yourself and shouldn't blame others. These type of tragedies just happen, trying to find someone to point the finger at is not going to help you get pass this. Just learn to appreciate the moments you had with your mother before she passed and more importantly the people you have now. Ignore the naysayers, it's healthy to talk about this even if the people you're speaking to are those in a community of gamers.

you are correct of course but I really can't get over it as I feel my dad has seriously hurt my mom before and after her diagnosis. I do have a sister too. she also did nothing but I don't blame her since she had a little boy to take care of. still, most of the blame is upon me as there were many approaches and medications to try and I just couldn't manage to have them at home to use when things go out of hand.

Don't. You start blaming yourself and others, thinking about the could've/would've/should've, you're digging a hole you will have a hard time climbing out of. Think about what your mom would have wanted. Are you really helping yourself and others by indulging these mental self harm? Worse, these type of behavior might manifest itself in inflicting physical injuries

my mom once caught my father flirting on the phone while she was carrying a chemo IV infusion bag. I remember her crying while carrying that goddamn bag around. how can I forgive this man? just how?

I'm certainly not going to hurt that man. the only one I can physically hurt is myself.

What are you going to accomplish by continuing to blame him for that incident? Not saying you should forget about what he did, but keep dwelling on it isn't really helping anyone.

I realize that. I guess I'm not trying to help anyone here. in fact deep down I only want suffering for everyone in my family including myself. I just don't understand how we are going to pretend that we can still be a family. if we all had done our bests we probably could become a whole again but now it's only a matter of time this dysfunctional family falls apart.

thanks for being so kind to me. regarding my father, one other regret that I have is that I never exposed him to my mother who was always suspicious about his cheating and made her live an emotionally unfulfilled life. back when I was freshman we had an exam, after which we were released from school earlier than usual, when I arrived home that day I noticed a cheap unfamiliar bag and and a pair of high heeled sandals by the door which were obviously belong to a stranger. my father heard the door shut when I arrived and came downstairs with a messy look and told me some BS about having one of his coworkers at home who" prefers to be alone" and threw me out. I waited outside of the building complex and saw an ugly woman carrying that bag adn wearing that shoes walking out of the complex and later my dad with his car going after her. when my mom was diagnosed and again now it keeps striking me that if I had exposed that pig, my mom probably would've gotten divorced and lived with a peace of mind and probably hadn't developed cancer or heart problems and surgery prior to that as she could never let go of what my dad was doing and always kept moping( if that's the correct word) over his behaviors. at that time I thought I was keeping my family together by not exposing him and I thought he probably has learned his lesson and would never do it. I was just a stupid kid and obviously I was wrong. he kept doing it continuously.

You have to know that whatever your father has done is not your fault. I understand that if you told your mother perhaps things would've turned out differently, however he is the one who decided to cheat, not you. Life will catch up with him, it always does with those kind of people.

I wouldn't bother focusing on the old sack honestly. I went through a period similar like you where I had laser focus on my father and it only created an intense hatred that was slowing me down. Don't let his screw-ups distract you from whats really important.

defintely, a bowling in hell. what kills me is that caring mask he's always wearing. all the people that haven't lived with him think he's such a gentleman.
I try not to focus on him but I just can't stand that self righteous look on his face anymore. I really wish what you say is true and life will catch up on with him.
