I played tennis in high school and stopped suddenly and when I put my foot down to stop my sock snagged my big toe nail and ripped it off. Foot was bleeding so badly it was puddling out of my shoe.

I've done that. I also did it to two fingers, though not at the same time.

Don't ask what I was doing with your tennis shoes though...

Personally I'm more concerned what you were doing with your fingers.

As in, concerned you're gonna tell us.

The other bad injury I've had was I was home alone right after school and was sitting down watching some tv in like the single seat couch chairs. I didn't know my mom had been sewing earlier and left the needle in the arm of the chair and as I was shifting position it went straight into my arm right near the elbow and then bent. No one was home so I had to find pliers by rummaging through the house with 1 functional arm and then pull it out myself.

Sorry to disappoint. I did have a coworker who was bitten in the butt by a cat and had to go to the emergency room.

If Tetris is a relationship, then can this be the serenading song?

One of the best combat systems I've seen for an RPG.
The preorder perk weapons make it way too easy starting out though.

And yet still I keep using them because they're so cool.....

Yeah, I ditched those as soon as I realized how overpowered they were.

You called? Ozma was a joke. Can't even be called toughest boss in the game, he was a push over. Luckily Square heard my calls and fixed this problem in FFX with the monster arena, Dark Aeons and Penance.

Oh and if we're talking about injuries(not sure what youre talking about but saw posts about injuries), I once had a stick crack my skull when playing hockey. Granted, it was only a minor fracture but 2 inches lower and I wouldn't have vision in my left eye. Made me feel pretty bad ass considering I got up immediately and continued playing until the others noticed I was bleeding like a pig.

Ozma wasn't very hard cause the strat was more or less pretty simple. FFX had one of the toughest boss schemes with Monster arena. Almost makes me want to play it again haha.

Monster arena was nothing compared to the Dark Aeons and Penance though. Even grinding the gear for Penance took at least 200 hours(well, for me anyway). The dark aeons were enough of a pain in the ass, though you could always try using Yojimbo but that's cheating imho.



Probably the coolest spell in FF history.

Debating on restarting on hard difficulty. Playing the first 2 hours AGAIN for the 3rd time just seems so damned tiresome. Stupid demo.....

I actually just restarted it. Wanted to experience the start again without the OP crap.

I think they did some things right, but man they boned some things too. That lockpicking system is just awful. I also don't like the inventory system, item degradation, or the fact your character doesn't say one damn word. Seriously, nothing?

I dig the art, and the combat system is just so fun.

I'm not sure how Bethesda doesn't have a lawsuit for the lockpicking lol. The game reminds me of Torchfire with better combat moves. I like the depth you get with the conversations but it's like an interface and style from 30 years ago.

Screw you all, I'm old enough to remember Ultima. With no roman numerals. Google it. Then get off my lawn.
