Nap time. Night all!!

I hate broken ankles

Headsets are great. I don't buy games any more if they don't have coop mode, and online coop, pretty much. Don't have a PS4 or Xbox One yet either. There were no games that were good enough to sell the system for me. I do use my PS3 to stream videos wirelessly from my computer, so I can watch them on the TV through the sound system without plugging the computer into the TV. Just needed PS3 media server installed on my computer.

Y'all need to keep yer Hobbit-feet problems to yerselves…

Sounds like you're just jealous that you don't have beards for your feet. (side note, my wife calls my beard a "face mitten" from time to time, which makes me laugh).

I don't quite have hobbit feet, just your average man feet. (size 11ish, and I'll get a wide version if its available).

Don't cheep out with sound or headset. Go for the PS3 brand 7.1 surround sound blue tooth ones. :thumbup: They also work with your computer too I luv mine.

I'm already gonna be broke after buying the PS3 and Destiny (the other games I want either come with it or I already bought), so I had to go fairly cheap on the headset. It's a manufacturer refurbished Turtle Beach PX21, so it was a fairly expensive (to me anyway, it's about $50 everywhere but I found this one for 21.99) should be plenty good until I wear it out and want to get a bit more expensive one.

Do you play Destiny or Black Ops II? Those are the only two online games I'm getting for now.

I usually have socks on even lounging around the house. No pants or shirt, but I have socks and boxers. I have had errant nose hairs grow out of a nostril, curl around and tickle the outside of my nose and take a while to figure out what that was. Had to rip it out, sucked slightly less than leaving it.

Is there a way that I can "un-read" this so I don't have this image in my mind?

Hobbit feet sounds right

I could fit a size 9 if i could find ones i liked in 4E widths... The sandals i got on right now are size 12. 11s were too narrow. These are the perfect width... Just too too long...

I read the Teva omniums have a wide toe bed... And i love how they look... But man the price tag has kept me from pulling the trigger on them for months. I cant find anywhere around that has THEM tevas in stock. And im not about to spend nearly 100 bucks on some sandals without trying them on... Not with these feet....

I hate shoes.

But hey, if you ever wanna rub my feet down with some warm lotion after an epsom salt bath.... Well you just let me know

I also have quite a bit of hair on me feet (if only it could be transplanted to my head) in addition to my manly beard... Mine are different in shape though...size 12 or 13, and a narrow (used to be able to find B width, but not any more) if I can get it. A "D" width works for some shoes, but the laces are pretty much pulled as tight as they can go. My wife refers to my feet as "skis."

I hate broken ankles

They're overrated. I prefer a gentle slice to the Achilles with a BK15 and then... oh wait, are you hurt?

 

[Silverthorn]

I am a hobbit foot guy too. Average size feet, but wide, and hair on the tops and the toes..lol

Noswad keep in mind lots of DLC stuff is going to be dropping for many games, BUT they are making it so it wont be available for olders systems like the PS3 and Xbox 360 and such. It might be worth it to save a little bit more and get a PS4, just my 2 cents as a dork gamer.

Thread over at ESEE has me thinking about a GoRuck Light or Tough.

I'm thinking I'll probably get a PS4 in a few years, but for now I'm gonna get a PS3 to sort of integrate more "mature" games into the household. I had only ever played one rated M game (which was from the 90's and not actually bad except a bit of blood) until a couple weeks ago when I played my friend's PS3. Overprotective parents are great, but sometimes a bit too overprotective. Hopefully they'll let me keep Skyrim...

Just slightly, fractured my fibula at philmont. Unfortunately due to where it happened I had to hike out 10 miles to get to the nearest staff camp

Seems like a good idea to me, there are plenty of great games for the ps3. And skyrim is a fun game. If you like that try fallout, same company and same open world concept but a million times better if you ask me

As a heads up, if you have a PC that can play skyrim, you can change the games config file and disable things like blood if that bothers you/them. As an "M" rated game its pretty benign. There is hardly any language or other inappropriate stuff, the violence isn't over the top, and I think ita just a quest or two that gives it that m rating (and iirc, they are all optional quests).

I mainly play starcraft 2, heroes of the storm, borderlands 2, dungeon defenders, portal 2, and castle crashers. Like crimsonfalcon, if a game doesn't have co-op, I'm not likely to buy it nowadays.

Is the ankle feeling any better?

So is Fallout kinda just a more modern Skyrim?

Sadly my PC is a potato or I would just play Skyrim on it. I don't think it's so much the blood that they don't like, just language and sexual stuff.

 

[spikebot587]

Yeah, a little better. And fallout is basically skyrim, only it's set in post apocalyptic america

Hey at least the most common width in stores will work on your feet, even if you (just) have to tighten the laces... I can never buy a regular pair of shoes unless they are at least 1 size too large, and thats only for certain shoes that already run wide... Normally its a couple sizes larger.

Yea this sounds familiar. .... Although i do have great arches.... When i joined the army i had to stand on this glass box to get fitted for boots and running shoes... The guy taking the measurements said something like "well you got great arches, and the perfect width for a size 12 shoe... The problem is your barely a size 9" LOL

My pinky toes are pushed behind the toes next to them... This is from YEARS and YEARS of wearing shoes that were too narrow, that squeezed my feet together.

Tell me more about how this makes you feel?


Id rather talk feet, esee, and guyon's feelings over these play box games

Heh, mine are the same way my "pinkie" toes are almost bent 90 degrees and underneath my next toes.

And what, you don't like talking games .

Japanese foot binding, once a symbol of status and beauty. Sounds like you guys are on that.

The only video games I play are Galaga and Pole Position. Old school, beyotches! $20 console with several of the old stand-up games.
I have gamed a bit for research, to think about the way narrative works in some of these digital spaces and how learning occurs.

As for the GoRuck, I feel like it would help whip me into better shape if I had a training goal/date.
Right now, I have sights on a 5K in October and would like to improve my PR. That means speed work, cardio, and legs. All would help with the GoRuck.
The GoRuck would probably help my climbing (and vice versa) because I'd need to add in upper body workouts.

Oh, and y'all can keep your foot fetishes to yourselves as far as I am concerned. If it's not a Stormtrooper waffle fetish, I'm not interested.

I tried to quote this, and I'm not sure where that last line came from.... (edit: must have caught this while you were editing)

I was going to suggest you also switch to whole wheat biscuits as part of your fitness regimen. Much better for you than all that refined white flour... Would work for waffles as well....

 

[Guyon]

Oh, I don't actually eat the waffles.
