As someone who has been a beanpole and skeleton for most of his life, it's really friggin awesome to see SOMETHING change in my body.

Over the past year i've been going to the gym in hopes to fix back issues and gain weight in muscle instead of body fat. Yesterday was the first day I finally saw growth.

With a fast metabolism, scoliosis, tall height and bad habits I was basically a hunched over beanpole(well, not THAT hunched, but to the point where it was starting to get noticable).

After starting to fix my posture and working out i've finally made progress. It's not much, most would find it insignificant but to me it's a HUGE change.
I have meat on my bones, which is something I haven't had...ever. It's that small amount of muscle in my body I have found that makes me really happy i'm going to the gym tonight.


So in other news, how has your day been? Anything good happen?

On this day in 2015 I migrated from the ruins of Bnet to here. I would like to thank all of you all for a year, an interesting year where I laughed, raged and cringed...a lot. I would consider a select few of you friends and would like to meet you never.

ITT post nice Yo Momma jokes.

As I am trying to go ahead and go into Level/Game Design. I will be trying to make my own game over the next year or two to test what I am capable of. I have a couple different ideas and I want opinions.

1: This is the newest idea I have, the game would be me trying to mix the combat of Dark Souls with the level design of The Binding of Isaac. A procedurally generated dungeon clearing style game where you have to fight off difficult enemies and bosses, with traps and platforming as well. But there will be many different powerups, items and abilities to gain to help you along the way. Like getting a set of heavy armor with a large Mace mixed with some lightning bolt power.
I would probably try to create this on the Unity Engine, as it would work the best and be capable of working on my toaster.

2: This is the HUGE idea, which would take infinitely more time and need a whole new friggin PC to even test.
Instead of a dungeon crawler, it would be more a survival stealth game. Where you get trapped in another world where you only have one ally in your ear helping you along the way. Not exactly "horror" but definitely thriller.
This would be done on Unreal Engine 4, which would break my current toaster and take infinitely more time than the previous idea.

So what do you guys think is more interesting? Not gonna make this a poll, just asking for opinions.

And yes, I am only doing 3D games because they are what I want to get better at for the time being. These projects will take friggin forever but could help me down the road a LOT.

I'm currently gonna be working towards getting into Columbia College Chicago to get a degree in Game Design. However that is a little ways away for me.

But I was curious, if you went to college/university which one did you go to? And what did you major in? Or just get a degree on?

That has more than 500,000+ subs?

A lot of people here like a lot of small time youtubers but tend to shit on the big time ones.

So which big time youtubers do you like?


I happen to like a guy named Mini Ladd, currently at 3mil subs. He makes simple gaming videos but I just love the guy himself. Genuine, goofy and an overall good guy.

We're gonna cross out LoL since everyone will pick that, but any other MOBA is fine.


Myself, i'd pick Overwatch. Since it's new and getting lots of media attention. Also factoring in that almost anyone can enter into the game with little knowledge and still have fun, as soon as I learned the competitive strats it would be REALLY fun. The only problem I would have is being with a team.

What makes someone a normie? Normal in society and generally hated online.
List em off boys.

IMO:
-Listens to popular new music only
-Plays Angry Birds on Iphone and calls themselves a "gamer"(even though gamer is a shit title.)
-Wears all the newest fashion trends/hates any that aren't in trend.
-Can talk to people without ever needing memes

But a 30% on both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.

Why am I not surprised?

Anyone looking into this game/is playing the beta?

A friend gave me a key to the beta so i'm gonna be checking it out. Seems like an interesting survival horror game.

I am bored as hell most of the time, and I want to devote time out of my day to work on SOMETHING. I'm sick of sitting around doin nothin.

However, it's hard to do things I enjoy. And at my young age it is hard to be taken seriously on anything I do. However I wanna try regardless.

So here are some things i'm interested in.

1, Youtube:
I doubt i'll get anywhere, I doubt anything special will happen on it. Just me making videos and learning editing and recording. It would be fun to try and learn as that is a possible career I wanna try in the future, movie making.

2, Game Development:
Pretty self explanatory, I think of an idea for a game and I try to work on it. It'd take me years to get anywhere because of my little knowledge of game design and coding and also it always takes forever to make a game. However Game development has always been interesting to me and I wanna see what it is like.

3, Twitch Streaming:
Again, self explanatory. Just like youtube I doubt i'd get anywhere and I HIGHLY doubt my computer would handle it, but it's worth a shot if nothing else works.

4, Admin on a server:
A huge group of friends run a whole set of GMOD servers that always need more helping hands, and I know that I am a candidate for Administrator. It is a lot of work but it would give me a basic idea of management. I can't make any money on this either.

So. What do you guys think? This is more of a hobby but I wanna do something i'm interested in. So help me out please?

Let me make something clear.
NOT
DATING
SIMULATORS

Actual Visual Novels that put time and care into the story and not copy paste anime boobs and high school.

As far as those VNs go, what is your opinion on them?

So unlike my last "I dare you" thread. This one will be purely focused on gaming.

So here's what ya gotta do to get a dare.

1: Post ITT with one game that you'd like to get dared on.
2: I'll reply with a dare/challenge in the game. It can vary extremely mattering by the game. It could be anything from a simple action to a full playthrough.
3: Accept it or not, I don't care.


So go ahead. Post dem games.

Just sayin
