I usually choose either a carefree wanderer or intellectual thinker. And occasionally the odd mad/evil man for good measure. Currently I have the Dynasty Warrior 8 incarnation of Zhuge Liang as my avatar. My favourite character in in the series and in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He's elaborate, a genius in warfare, an envisioned and collected man. A role model in some respects. Another common one is Keiji Maeda, mainly his incarnations in the Samurai Warriors series. He's effectively a Ronin (Masterless Samurai) who inspires other warriors of the time to be great whilst enjoying himself on the way and doing the odd bit of charity for a laugh. I choose interesting characters from games as my themes mainly.
Well this is interesting if it's happening. I mean, it's so strange to try and break into the console market when I hear it, and I can't even remember the last succesful time that happened, probably the Xbox. I expect it to work much like a desktop computer yet centred around a gaming navigation. Promising i hope.
Pick another wall.... Or room if it's that bad? Go outside! : D
/MOVED\ I like some openings, they set the tone and if a type of music can capture it then that's fantastic. I've got into a few bands because of opening themes.
Fine. I'm the American. WOOOOOOOOOO GUNS, WOOOOOOOO LIBERTY!
...
Bonjour. I am the French one.
Hey... how else do you want me to advertise the only reason I have a job on here? D:
Neutral Good. Sure that would change each minds state i'm in.
Is it just me or are people not using sigs as much as they use to? Because I remember more customised ones.
No you are not. No one is the only one of anything.
/Moved\ Welp, that's unfortunately a half truth. I'd hope that if people ask a thread to be considered seriously that they'd respect that request and be serious. We're apparently a popular site known for our inability to act serious, or so i've heard.
1: That's sweet and understandable. Unfortunately all I can advise is trying to meet up with other friends and have a good time. Unfortunately I also know that most of your friends are abroad at the moment so that may be hard.... I advise doing stuff you enjoy, watch movies, play games, whatever your into to kind of fill up your time and enjoy your time. If you've got a new year resolution, could be a good time to start on it. 2: Unfortunately yes, that's the kind of stuff involved in a job. You take breaks so you can go back to work. It's unfortunate, I've turned lazy mid job after a terrible day, but it's all we can do is move forward. I won't deny I've avoided some jobs before when I know I can get away from it, but that's rare. But yes, unfortunately all you can do is just do your job. Hope it gets easier. 3: I didn't get into Uni my first year, last year as it was and I can be sure to say it's a terrible time. But in the end I am glad I had the year off, I got my first full time job working as a Teaching Assistant and I learned tons and better yet the appreciation of higher education. I can only say that you can only do your best, if you've done your work then you can't change it, there is nothing more to do. You just accept it and deal with things as they come. Even if you don't get into the Uni you want, there is always an alternative, and sometimes it's better then your first path. It's all an opportunity. Hope everything turns out ok.
/LOCKED\ ON REQUEST OP has been satisfied with answers given so this is pretty much done.
Guys, no call outs and no insulting please. Keep it civil. Not in the handheld market. And having an established average brand isn't going to break you into the market in a big way. And customers know where Nintendo is going? I find them to be the least predictable of the main three console companies. You implied I said it was the best, you mentioned the Steam was best. I just simply mentioned that PSN was a better service than what Nintendo offered.
Nope. Zhuge Liang. But goo guess.
This is true. This sounds like a frape to me! XD
You don't understand how relieving and lovely that is to hear. Thank you.
Niche: having specific appeal. can be used in the context I used. You're worrying over semantics and did not address the point I made up. Basic economic theory not agreeing. New brand versus an established brand, the established are more successful. They're not blameless but they're definitely not the sole problem, it was an uphill battle whether they were on the ball or not. Who's going to buy a dedicated handheld console for hundreds when they most likely have a phone that can already play games on, games that are continuously improving in all fields that make some of them on par with console games. The market for handheld gaming has never been as good as a home console, its range of games has never been appealing to a wide audience (bar early games like Mario/Zelda/Pokemon/etc), yet the mobile bring sout well known and popular games now. Look at the success of Angry Birds, everyone knows about it and most gaming companies are moving to placing themselves in the mobile phone market, simply because that's where analysts are saying that's where the market is shifting. And the 3DS only got back up in sales figure because of the huge price drop that occurred early in its life cycle, something that probably dented the profits Nintendo received and were hoping that the demand of sales would make up for it. It doesn't bode well for Nintendo, seeing as they didn't have to worry about the N-Gage, or the PSP, but phones? It doesn't look like much now, but in a decade, things could be very different for mobile gaming. I said PSN was better then Nintendo.
