My PSN is pauljeremiah, feel free to add me.

I had something similar happen. Had a friend for nearly 25 years, grew up together, went to school together, were next door neighbours growing up. He met a girl, 4 months later they were married, and he cut off contact with 4 of his close friends because "she didn't like them". He has also lost contact with one of his brothers as well because of her.

Haven't spoken to him in 7 years. Hurt like hell at first and I went through a bad patch of depression because of it, and I put on about an extra 30 pounds. Have thankfully lost the majority of that weight and now feel the best (both physically and mentally) I have in years.

I did realise afterwards that a lot of the negativity in my life stemmed from me hanging out with him, he was the kind of person that would put everyone down around him so that he would feel better, like a friend who spent 3 years working in Japan as a translator and only came home when he dad was sick with cancer, he would throw remarks like "you wasted 3 years of your life out there, what did you ever get out of it?" or "what did it get ya?" shit like that.

There a quote that I've seen online that usually associated with William Gibson, though I think it may be miss-attributed to him. "Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes." and he was damn right.

I would love if they had a WW1 Steam Punk DLC pack, like the Vietnam DLC content for Bad Company 2.

@csl316: she is?

@macka1080: Yeah the Game Crazy one is just extra crazy (no pun intended) compared to FuncoLand and Blockbuster. It's like that promo video they brought out when Xbox Live was launched.

Was browsing around YouTube when I came across these:

FuncoLand Training Video:

Training Video circa 1998. Reveals the G.A.M.E.S. sales process and why you were offered a cleaning kit with every purchase.

and Blockbuster Video (featuring Buster Sales)

@fisk0: I am leaning towards playing it on the Vita as it's a game I would like to play while traveling. The load times are not a major issue for me, sure it's not as fast as the SNES, but I'm not going to get mad if I have to wait two extra seconds.

I have a love of old JRPG's from the SNES and NES era and would love to play Final Fantasy VI again.

Just wondering what's the best way to play it today? Steam version? PS1 version and play it on my Vita? GBA version? or iPad/iPhone version?

Or should I just go and dig out my SNES and my copy of FF3? :P
