That Guy

I plan on putting it back until my other friend can go, that way I wont feel like I don't fit in, if you get me.

I think that at the end of the day, it is simply a case of me not wanting to do something. I'll stick up for myself if someone comes to have a go at me, and I can talk to girls (thinking about it, theres a gorgeous girl at work who came down to the office the other day, and I wasn't nervous talking to her, but at the same time I didn't want to ask her out). I also had a chat with the hairdresser yesterday. Perhaps I'm confusing shyness with simply having no desire to actually do something. I actually think if there was a girl I liked now I would approach her (although I still couldn't infront of people...). Thanks for the advice, decided I'm going to go for lunch with a friend tomorrow, and probably wont go to Birmingham at the weekend.

I don't like R6V, not really into those kinds of games. Can't wait to play Gears of War though, that looks fucking cool. Going to buy Sonic aswell. I don't know why. I loathed the demo. Might cancel the pre order actually... Can't wait for Alan Wake! And Viva Pinata looks interesting. As lame as Billy Hatcher, but hopefully it'll be a laugh. Quite a few considering the Wii's also out soon.

Nice to know there's other people like me : D Thanks for the reply, but this isn't a gaming issue. I don't stay in because I want to play games. If I went out, I'd still play games just as much. And to whoever else, I'm 19 and I work, left school a year ago.

Great responses as usual guys. I am thinking I might go out with them, even if it's just for a couple of hours. Alcohol might loosen me up a bit. I could do with meeting a woman aswell, but where am I going to meet the kind of woman I'd get on with?

Not for a while but I tend to go into a shell and then everyones loud and having a laugh and I look miserable. I am still thinking about going, I don't know.

I've done a few threads on this board when I've had something on my mind before and gotten great advice from all you lot, so I'll do another. Right, so this week I've got the week off work, and I was looking forward to it, just to have a bit of a break and relax a bit. My parents are away for a week aswell, so it means that I get the house to myself quite a bit (sisters still here though). Anyway, Saturday came, I sat downstairs had football on 360 set up, and straight away just had a horrible feeling come over me, that I haven't been able to shake all week. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but I feel a bit like I don't really have any friends. I have a couple, but ones always at work, ones in America, and the other is in Liverpool and I've never met her (online friend of 2 years. In fact I have 2 friends of 2 years). A lot of my worries come from other people. I feel like if I don't go out and party with loads of teenagers then there's something wrong with me. My mom is forever saying 'Oh you need to get out more' and straight away that makes me feel bad, and like I'm doing something wrong with my life, when previously I was perfectly happy. I have a job and talk to 1-2 people there, but I'm not loud, I don't like to be noticed, and I'm not the talk of the town. I'm fine with it, but other people say I need to make more of an effort. I was told by my parents that if anything is happening at work (nights out, football etc.) that I should go and do it, I could make friends and all that crap. Straight away I'm thinking I don't want to do that. I don't enjoy loud nights out with loads of people. I do like going out with 2-3 friends, but I don't get much chance for that to happen because of what I've pointed out with my friend situation. I was going to Birmingham for a drink this week but my friend has to work, so I was going to go with one other friend, and he decided he'd invite all his mates, and now I really don't want to go since they'll be loud and I wont fit in. Sorry this has been such a massive post, a bit of an essay, and I'm not moaning like before, as like I say I'm not unhappy with my life, simply other people are making me feel like there is something wrong with me. So, am I being anti social? Or am I normal and simply this is the way I am?

Yep it is. But stick with it, because it really is great. If you start getting annoyed with it, have a 10 minute break, the best way to get on with it. So, what's everyones favourite 360 game/moment so far then? I'd say that PGR3 is one of my favourite games, I could play it all day, and finishing Kameo was satisfying. I also loved the Dead Rising demo even though I am crap at the game. Just thought I should post something positive for once lol I'm not always moaning!

Not getting on with Kameo Tak?

LMAO I love swearing.

Lol, It wasn't just it being dark, it was just the whole running around after spies I didn't like. I may still buy the game though.

That thing would crush your legs! I hated the Splinter Cell demo. Running around in the dark looking for a spy is not fun. Lumines is cool though, might have to buy it.

Yeah, it's always worth slagging off something you don't really care about to be right. Anyway I think that sheet is a disgrace. I like Sony and have seen some great products (my boss has a cool Vaio laptop, and we have a cool camcorder and I just bought a tiny camera), but the videogames department are a frigging joke. Why are they allowed to do this? This is why I wont buy a PS3.

Same with me, Not sure why anyone would need 100gb. I've never had less than 12gb free. Got Prince of Persia today, hoping it runs ok on 360. Few interesting games coming out over the next couple of months, with Gears of War, Viva Pinata, and Sonic (I'll still get it despite the crappy demo...). Got a whole week next week to play Oblivion aswell, so finally starting to enjoy my Xbox. Tak, up for some DOA next week?

Thats what I thought so didn't think I'd bother getting the Xbox version.

The more I find out about the PS3 the more I hate the idea of getting one. If Shenmue 3 is ever a PS3 exclusive I may shoot someone. And someone else.

If I don't love this game I'm giving up gaming. Well, I wont, but I'm in desperate need of something new and something that isn't just the same game again but better graphics. I've just played Halo and nearly fell asleep.

Isn't it meant to be coming out on 360? Or is that just Episode 2 and Takeo told me wrong?

Fable... thank you. Playing through Halo now. Played a month ago for about 5 minutes so giving it another go now. Will probably get Half Life 2 if it's worth it.

Haha, I just nearly bought Strangers Wrath and then found out it's not 360 compatible. Nice to know the backwards compatibility thing is worth it... I've not found a single game I wanted to play that will work on 360.

Thanks, could anyone give me anymore info on it please, type of game, what's it about? etc.

I'm still giving it a go, this generation I'm not just going to sell games I don't like straight away. I hated Dead Rising at first but starting to really like it now. Although today I found a gun in it, got an achievement, killed some convicts and go the gun off them, then i got ran over, dropped the gun in a zombie crowd and got killed. I threw my controller across the room. Lol, is it any good? I'm only really interested in Gears of War, although I may look at Splinter Cell, although I'm not a fan. Can't wait for Viva Pinata, Alan Wake, and Fable 2. I'm sure there's something else I'm excited about, but can't think what it is. BTW, anyone played Strangers Wrath on Xbox? And is it worth playing?

I've got Halo and Halo 2 and I really don't know why people like it so much. It is good, and I suppose it's just me not getting as much out of it as others, because there can't be that many people like it if it didn't have something special about it. What's that Oddworld game? Is that worth getting and playing on 360?

Wow, Just Cause is quite the boring game isn't it? I was amazed by the scenary for about 20 minutes. But theres not a whole lot to it is there? Wish I hadn't bothered tbh. Looking at Ghost Recon now. I'm in desperate need of a game, and there's not a whole lot out there. This and Prey are the last ones I'm even slightly bothered about. Don't even think I'll buy them. Give me new games damn it!!

Hahaha, I thought that was a pisstake of something from the 1980s as I scrolled down...
