ACDC_Fanatic Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 My parents bought me an xbox for passing 8th grade. In addition, I also got these four new controllers live 3 months all for around 350$ (I think) My parents have been working very hard..we are a relatively poor family. I passed 8th grade (which was REALLY hard with those big essays and all..i got a C+ which is pretty good since i passed the grade). My question is, What games do you reccomend that I should purchase? thanks. And also, i have a cousin who is addicted to smoking, i think its pot (whatver you call it) and my family (especially my mum) has been very worried about him... im very upset that I myself have to cope with this...Im 14 turning 15 soon and my cousin is 23, he works at a restaurant, though i dont think hes working hard enough.... Sorta off topic, but how would you guys cope with this in my situation? Also, he has a gf now and I kinda know her. They just started dating a few weeks ago and I'm extremely worried about her cause maybe she'll take drugs too and she attends Harvard so the drugs will affect her studies greatly. Her parents are Asian too so if they find out she's been taking drugs, they'll discipline her in a cruel way! If I told her he does drugs, she probably wouldn't believe me. Please help me =(. BTW: My cuz got kicked out of my uncle's place and now he's living with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 JEEEEESUM CROW that's one heck of a post there ACDC fan...you've got like 42 different things going on at once! I really don't have much advice to offer at the moment...except Halo 2 is a pretty fun game, as is Ninja Gaiden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Tell your cousin to quit smoking >_> and uh, buy Halo, Ninja Gaiden, Splinter Cell, Jade Empire, any one of those games will provide you with the awesome. and Welcome to Lucasforums!

Nerd_Annhilator Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Yes, ET, the answer is 42. Uh.. Yeah, you should prolly get Halo 2 (and maybe even 1, since I still sorta prefer it even if it has no XBL). You'll have lots of fun online with Halo 2. Other titles to get: Mecenaries: Playground of destruction - Uber game, its sorta like GTA but military style. Fable - Short but I thought it was really fun. Burnout 3 - An actually fun racing game. The crashes and damage modelling make me happy. I dunno, theres way more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapNColostomy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Burnout 3 - An actually fun racing game. The crashes and damange modelling make me happy. I don't even like racing games but this game is a must ****ing have. It's too gawd damned good, and it never gets old. 4 looks promising too. A little less cartoony. Not to say 3 was cartoony...I don't know, 4 just looks more real. A little dirtier and darker. GET BURNOUT 3 IS THE POINT, GODDAMMIT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Her parents are Asian too so if they find out she's been taking drugs, they'll discipline her in a cruel way! Way to stereotype a whole race of people. But congrats on the 'box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Wait wait wait.... your parents spent 350 dollars on you because you passed the EIGTH grade with C'S?! My parents don't even spend that much on my birthday and I get Bs and As. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Yeah, but your parents don't love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 This is true. But still, 350 dollars for (barely) passing the 8th grade? Maybe if you got C's all the time then got A+'s, but I've never been rewarded for my good grades. [role model]Isn't the real reward an education?[/role model] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Way to stereotype a whole race of people. But congrats on the 'box.

CapNColostomy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I think it's a compliment to the Asians really that they are universally known for efficiency. Whether it be for making sweet electronics, kicking ass in war, or torture even, or brutally beating their kids. You don't hear any black guys complaining about the stereotype that they all have big *****, do you? [Edit] The new sensor doesn't work so good just yet does it?

Got Wraeththu by Storm Constantine, 700 pages with rather small print. Well, she agrees reading is good and helped pay for it.

Surfnshannon Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Congrats on passing the 8th grade with new x-box to boot. Don't listen to what everyone says - your parents must have thought you deserved it!!! As for the cousin who is smoking pot. It is great that you are concerned for him. I dont' really think that you should try to intervene with the girlfriend and telling her about the cousin smoking pot. I'm sure she knows - heck that smell is unmistakable. Focus on things that 15 year olds in 9th grade should worry about - not what dumb mistakes your cousin is making - unless it is to learn from it. Just my honest opinion.

Clefo Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 When I graduated 8th grade I got a damn flower from my mom. Edit: And, as I recall, the Xbox didn't exist yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Congrats on getting an education. And what games you get depends on what you like. The Halos are good. The Episode 3 game is fun, but kinda short. I'd try to find a cheap copy pre-owed or something. Like I said, it depends on what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabretooth Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Welcome to the ninth grade. I've completed half of the first term here and today was my last Unit Test exam. Results next month. You'll want KotOR and it's sequel. Ninja Gaiden and Halo 2 are must buys. And if you can get some money under your parents eyes, you can smuggle a copy of San Andreas.
