I sold my Gamecube, giving up Japanese games..

Okay, I'm 26 years old. My manhood is at risk.



Anybody that plays a game that looks like THAT has no room to call himself a man. It's just not right. As a wise man here on this forum once said with much testosterone "I don't want to play some game where I'm a little blonde boy!" So in order for me to gain the respect I deserve amongst my faceless internet peers, I've decided to sell my Gamecube. Hell, I'm going to sell my PS2 as well because there is too much temptation with that machine regardless of how many mature games it does have. Last night I picked up the newest Rainbow Six and Madden at Gamestop. The clerk at Gamestop told me how great these games were (though he didn't look old enough to play the M rated Rainbow Six) and asked if I was excited about the new Fantastic Four movie. I wasn't quite sure what it meant, being new to this "man" thing, so I just grunted a "Yeah!! It's going to fucking rock man!! I'm going to drink some light beer now!" Rainbow Six is pretty cool. You get to kill people. I like that. But the real surprise was Madden. The SOUNDTRACK! Wow, just wow. See, up to this point, all the games I've played had "fake soundtracks" (according to another wise member here, you rock!), stuff like Symphony of the Night and Kingdom Hearts didn't have real music. But Madden has real music from real bands. I was in shock. Video games have come a long way! I'm not really sure what I'm doing yet in this beautiful game because I'm not familiar with football (Nintendo never did make Mario Football), but whenever I "tackle" somebody my man growls at the screen. That's manly, I like it.

Can anybody recommend some mature games for me to shape my future with? I like violence and boobies.

By the way, I'll see you all on Xbox Live, my new 'tag is BigNutsXtreme06.

Heavy doses of God of War should convert you fully. It contains the two features you are looking for in a game in abundance.

I agree, In fact, we should have a contest to pick Pixy's new name. I'll start. How about RAM ROD. Now there's a manly name.

How about JUST ASKING 26? That one is just dripping in testosterone.

We have a winner!! That was quick.

Can I have your old name? I was thinking of changing mine to DARTHY but yours is so much better.

Here are some more helpful tips for your journey into manhood:

* Get rid of your 'Hello Kitty' t-shirts. Find one that says, "FBI: Female Body Inspector". If you can find one that replaces the word 'body' with 'booby', then it's twice as cool.

* Manly men do not snack on Pocky. Beer and some sort of Frito Lay brand snack will suffice (but NOT Sun Chips for God's sakes!... real men aren't dirty hippies).

* Your DVD collection is probably 95% anime. The proper DVD collection should be 75% action/sports movies and 20% XXX titles (straight pornography!). The other 5% should be reserved for titles you can show to woman you bring over to your place, so you can have sex with them. I'm talking about chick flicks such as American Pie, Van Wilder and Booty Call.

I hate anime so I'm okay there. I drink a lot of beer already, but I've noticed that real men drink light beer. I've grown up on beers like Shiner Bock, Guiness and Asahi Black. It'll be a tough sacrifice to move on, but it looks like if I want to be cool I'll have to move to Bud Light.

In order for you to fully "graduate" to manhood, you must get rid of all of your metroid stuff. I will be willing to "dispose" of your things for you. Just send them to me postehaste!

I disagree. Continue drinking the beer you like, light beer is not a representation of manliness. Now a pint of Guiness, thats for real men!

Spoiler:
Keep in mind this thread is satire. The light beer comment comes from every time I go to a bar I always see a group of college guys (you know, ten guys with the EXACT same haircut) drinking the YELLOWEST beer on the tap and thinking they're top shit because of it.

Now I'm craving a Black & Tan. Guinness: Shut Up and Eat Your Beer!

Steve & Roc, it's called Zwei!! While it's not part of the Ys series, it WAS in fact, created from the same company. It's an action RPG dungeon crawler where you switch control between two characters (fighter & mage). You only gain experience by eating the food the monsters drop. It was a lot of fun, but I'll have to put it on eBay soon because the graphics are too cute and I don't want my friends to make fun of me when they come over and see it on my PC.

Actually, there's a mini-game you can unlock called "The Typing of Ys" in which you play as Adol going through Darm Tower killing monsters by typing outs Japanese words. One of the many bizarre extra PC toys you can unlock in the game (others including desktop pets and clocks, etc.)

BeanDip Says NOOOOOOO not light BEER

Ah hell no!!! If you stop drinking Guiness you'll anger the BeanDip0001 and there is nothing worse than pissed off BeanDip unless of course you have stale nachos. Don’t do it man, light beer is for carb counting pansy boys. Stick to drinking black and tans Guiness/Killians or Bud, or if you're a high class man you could always do dirty martinis, but make sure you've got good vodka lots of olive juice and you want it DIRTY so no vermouth. Or there is always good scotch, and the Irish whisky. Or if you're one of those Japanese schoolgirl loving types there is always warm saki in the middle of the day.


if posting this pic breaks any rules sorry guys just take it down

Yeah, liking Metroid doesn't make your girly. Just tell your friends you just like getting Samus killed so you can see her in her undies.

Um....yeah there is. Look how cartoony it is. And there are no male gigilos for Samus. That's why 26 Pixy needs to give me all his stuff.

Mmmm, black & tan.
As a lover of dark beer, I never understand how anyone can drink light beer.
eeew.


And Pixy, you were always man enough for me. No need to convert.
