Hmm, it's tough to explain but there was a point in my life where I essentially lived online. Went to work, came home, jumped right online, only took small breaks for food/exercise/etc. and got right back on until bedtime. And then weekends were even worse, because I sat on ALL DAY. At least at this time my job wasn't a computer job (although I still managed to get a few hours online a day at that job...)

My brother used to say I was stuck in the Matrix. And it definitely felt like an addiction, because I'd get all nervous when I had been away from the Internet for too long (not that that happened very often).

And then I started working in computers and it was worse because I was in front of a computer all day at work, just to come home and get online, and basically my life became sitting in front of a computer or sleeping.

Long story short I *sort of* broke the addiction... now I only spend 3 or 4 (or 5) hours online a day and then I do other things. Except you know, the days I work, where I'm basically online most of the day still. But I'm only working 2 days a week right now, and doing grad school and such other days.

Basically, I'm so fucking burnt out on computers. Part of why I'm going to grad school is to change fields, because I know I'm going to end up online a lot at home, so I'd prefer to be completely away from it at work. But anyway, anything that gets me away from computers is a good thing. Yes, even video games. They're essentially the same idea, but at least I can lay back in a chair and sit 10 or 15 feet away from the screen and focus on one thing without having 10 different windows open and not worry about new posts or checking my mail or whatever. And when I'm away from computers, I hate feeling like I'm getting pulled back towards them. So games that require a huge social element on forums, or games that are confusing and have me gamefaqs-ing a lot, etc. are kind of a turn off. I prefer stuff I can sit down and make progress solo without even acknowledging that this thing called the Internet exists.

PS. I don't really count online gaming as part of the problem because it's not a computer. As stated above, I get to sit back, relax, etc. plus I can focus on one thing at once...
08/02/10, 22:43
Heh the only reason I use the computer is for the internet. I hate them myself.
08/02/10, 23:17
I hate and love the ri... Internet. As I hate and love myself.

@Simbabbad

How can I avoid it if I've already stepped in it? Oh well.

@CRISIS hearts

You think the game can't be spoiled, so apparently it can't. What is different than saying "you have to watch out for Rathian because it can poison you. Theres a tail attack that take a lot of damage, it spits fire, and it can pin you to the ground" and revealing where the 2nd Star/Whatever is in Mario Galaxy? Oh, because "you guys" say so? Got it. Thanks for clearing it up.

@Zero

I also hate the internet. A lot. I get more and more annoyed by it daily. My tolerance for IGN's community is completely gone, with the occasionaly stop by the WiiLobby Community Thread to say "hey, who got Arc Rise Fantasia?" I haven't been back for the answer.

@anon_mastermind

Sounds good, pal-e-o! I'm glad I could help out last night with that jerk. Vicious fake out!
Lets get some more of those 2-Star guys taken care of! I can play for a little bit tonight, not TOO long. I'll check back later..
08/03/10, 01:02
To be fair, when a thread on a game has 50+ pages, it is safe to assume that specific discussions on specific in-game things are going on in there. Not really a place to hang out if you want to remain spoiled-free.
08/03/10, 01:18
@Zero

Yeah, I'm an idiot, and I have no room to complain, blah blah. We've already covered that several times. Carry on.
08/03/10, 01:19
There's no need for the drama, no one said you're an idiot.

A Rathian is a creature that has been in all the games so spoiling it would be like saying Bowser is a boss in the Mario games and he spits fire. OMG spolierz! Would you also be spoiled if anyone told you who the last boss was in a Street Fighter topic? Monster Hunter isn't story driven, it's network driven. It's battle driven. If you think otherwise then don't ever play it online because there's a big chance you are going to be spoiled just by playing the game by other people. Don't look for help on any website either. You will be missing much of the fun and be so low on the totem pole, Zero will look huge!

What's really wrong with someone telling you that Rathian has a poison tail attack. Did they really ruin a suprise for you? It's not something you want to happen and you won't know when it happens until it happens. It's just a little friendly advice from someone else that knows something you might not...but you take it as offensive. THAT is kinda annoying don't you think...you don't want to be THAT guy do you?

It's also safe to say, as Zero and the sexy Simb, pointed out, that in a discussion about the game where people share tactics that these kinds of topics are going to be found and it would be annoying to have to always say "spoiler warning".

@CRISIS hearts

No one specifically said that, but I'm made to feel that way: "God, you don't know anything about history." "ITS A THREAD ABOUT THE GAME." "There are 50+ pages." "The game can't be spoiled." Ugh, enough is enough, gimme an F'n break.

A Rathian has been in all of what games? I've never seen it before. Street Fighter boss? I don't play Street Fighter, and I'm not in the threads. Yeah, its weird, I post in threads of games that I play or am planning to play.

How are you spoiled by looking at an in-game Monster List? You CREATE the list when you see them.... Yeah, its weird! When playing the game alone, the first time you even hear about a creature is when you come face to face with it, or the mission opens up for you. Imagine that.

Congratulations on telling everyone about the Rathian at length. Thats nice of you. The two guys in this thread besides myself who are actively playing the game more than likely haven't even seen one yet. HR9 and HR5 respectively. Solid.

How is the game going to be spoiled by people I'm playing online with? I don't know how stuff works on the almighty PSP, but here on the Wii you play with guys working on the same stuff as you are. You CAN play with people farther ahead than you, but I personally don't do that. Why would I want to? The game is Monster "Hunter," not "Hear stories from other players about Monsters." I want to discover it for myself -- I'm a MAN!

I know you guys think I'm being a giant asshole about everything (or maybe you thought that before this thread, whatever), but I really COULD be a giant asshole and spoil tons of crap for everyone on other threads. I don't, because thats not me. You guys see NOTHING WRONG with doing it here, on this specific game, and thats just wrong.

Perhaps I'll go speak candidly about Arc Rise Fantasia before other people get it. It came out a week ago, so surely EVERYONE has had a chance to play it, yes? I'll offer some "tactics" and ideas for fighting specific creatures, and maybe I'll tell you explicitly how to increase your chances of stealing an item instead of experimenting and finding out on your own. My tales of giant beasts will get you excited for the game if you haven't played it yet! I gave the most thorough mini-review of that game, and offered ZERO spoilers. It can be done.


--Theres another thing that pisses me off; why do people always write things like "OMG, spoilerz!!!1" No one does that crap! -- I've never done that! I know you didn't do the whole "!!!1" thing, but why not. Those go hand in hand for hyperbole posters. I don't think I've ONCE wrote "OMG" or anything ending with a "z" that would otherwise have an "s." If you're going to make fun of me, at least do it correctly. You should've wrote something like "thats balls!" or "that stinks out loud!" or "awesome!!" or "wooo!"


The more things change, the more they stay the same. (totally non-specific blanket statement)
08/03/10, 02:17
I was using hyperbole because you have been using it with your false hurt over a monster in a game.

I'm talking about the Monster Hunter series. You know Monster Hunter Tri is part 3 right? Parts 1 and 2 were on PS2, Frontier is on Japanese PC(soon to be Japanese 360) and parts 1 and 2 of the Freedom games and soon to be 3 are on PSP. It's a pretty old series if you consider the PS2 to be old.

Rathian and Ratholos are low tier monsters. At least in their normal forms, not the golds or silvers etc. It's a creature everyone knows about. It's like being spoiled that Chun Li is a fighter in Street Fighter. Or that you unlock a certain gun in MW2. Really?

Do you really feel hurt that you got to hear of a creature you're going to fight ahead of time before you got the quest that tells you you're going to fight it? Is it going to make the battle that much worse. It's going to mop your little hunter ass all over the ground no matter if you knew about it or not the first time you lay eyes on it. Monster Hunter is not a mystery game where you don't want to know who is the killer before the ending. It's about tactics and strategy and gameplay...not spoilerz'11!!!1

Do you think commanding officers tell their men to go out into battle without telling them who the enemy is and how to defeat them?

Take the advice or don't that's your choice. But just hearing the name of something or of one of their attacks isn't going to make you say, "eh, it's not scary anymore" when you see it. Because when you do see it, you will run away like the rest of us.
08/03/10, 02:38   Edit:  08/03/10, 02:42
Well, I understand why some people dislike "spoilers", but I don't really worry about them myself, unless it is something major to a plotline. Like if Zelda actually died in a Zelda game or something.

Plus, as I've stated before, my memory is terrible. I won't remember any of these names and attacks by the next time I play anyway. They all just blend into the massive Monster Hunter Tri crystal bones +10 agility morass in my head.
08/03/10, 02:40
Buy a notebook.
08/03/10, 02:43
@CRISIS hearts

-I only play Nintendo consoles.
-Chun Li is on the boxart, and selectable from the start.

@Zero

Are you playing later Zero?
08/03/10, 02:47
The Lagiacrus is on the cover of MHTri and is NOT selectable from the start. Don't look at it...
08/03/10, 02:53
@Mr_Mustache Not tonight, have to work tomorrow morning so I'm getting to bed early. THEORETICALLY I could get on earlier, but I don't really like doing "involving" (addicting) things before bed because I end up staying up way too late and regretting it the next morning.
08/03/10, 02:56
@CRISIS hearts

Thanks for the tip. Lets please keep this going as long as humanly possible.
(RIDICULOUS sarcasm)

@Zero

Oh, sorry, thats right. I lost my head.
Yeah, don't do that. We'll catch you later in the week somewhere.
08/03/10, 02:57
So you don't complain about a spoiler on the box but you complain about spoilers in here. Got ya, selective complaining. Right on.
08/03/10, 03:04
@CRISIS hearts

Theres no spoiler on the box. You learn of Lagiacrus as soon as you start the game.

Heres a question: Why don't you actually get the game so you're doing something in this thread other than ripping on me to make yourself giggle? Your stock is dropping with me, my friend. You don't want to be THAT guy, do you?

--And I thought we didn't have any people like that here... C'mon, man.
08/03/10, 03:09
Come on indeed. This argument/conversation was over a few pages back so let's move on and get along. Thanks.

Anybody on tonight? I think I may log on in a bit.
08/03/10, 05:58
@Marsh

I think Anon_ is on right now. I'm not home yet... hold tight, buddy!!
08/03/10, 06:17
I'll be on in about 15 minutes.
