"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Why not just get both?
That trailer for FF13 looks awsome - the combat is REALLY fluid and dynamic. I've always been a big fan of the FF series, but I'm really looking forward to this one.

I say buy each system also. Hell, the only reason I keep buying the Nintendo platform is for Zelda and I'm doing the same for PS3 for Final Fantasy.

The 360 is getting some kick ass games too, including some promising RPG types. I have always loved the FF series, but I'm willing to give the Xbox titles a shot.
I'll probably end up purchasing a PS3 too. Nothing wrong with having both of them. The 360 satisfies my next gen fix now

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Amen. The new Zelda will be really good. I'm impressed with Resident Evil IV.Francisco d'Anconia said:

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Don't give up your 360 just yet -> http://ww2.capcom.com/deadrising/
**** sports video games , wanna play sports get your ass outside like normal people , games like metal gear solid and final fantasy are the reasons to even buy a console like ps3 or the 360....
the ff movie , well its not gonna be entirely like in that movie cuz thats just what the guys who made ff advent children made as a preview of what will probably be possible on the ps3 , for the game itself theyve just started designing and creating a story for it , i heard theyr bringing back the guys who used to make the good final fantasy games none of this prepubesent tranny male characters kiddie like world , its gonna be a hard game with grown up action and story....and it probably wont be out till another three years so no need to be rushing to buy the ps3 right after its out....

Why not buy both? I'll tell you why. Because he doesn't have $1000+ to throw away at once. Better to redeem his Xbox money now and save for the PS3, if that's what he really wants.

They're both the same.
Their specs differ so little.
But we'll never really know until the PS3 comes out.
I say return it. Make the decision when they're both out and compare them to each other.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Both those systems are overpriced and don't even do anything new. Screw Killzone 2 and Halo 3, has anyone seen Red Steel for Wii? You literally shoot and slash enemies with your hand with the freehand motion controller, firing a gun and swinging a sword like you would in real life. Wii is also like less than half the price of Xbox 360 and PS3. Look it up! Hopefully I don't end up wanting a PS3 ($600 US is f*cking insane for a game machine), but I probably will eventually if it delivers some awesome racing games if I can't get any on Wii.

I do get my ass out like normal people. i still enjoy playing sports video games as well. you get some tourneys going with your friends, play some madden, nba live, ncaa march madness, baseball etc. Sometimes the Dynasty/Franchise modes are the only reason i rent/buy the games.
I do enjoy the occasional RPG game though, but I'm pretty picky about that stuff.

True, most of that FF movie was CGI, but it did show a little gameplay. The parts where there's the damage numbers has to be the actual fighting system. That's what I was commenting on - the combat looks really nice. I haven't had a huge problem with any of the stories in any FF (well, maybe 8, if you go by FF standards. But 8 is still lightyears ahead of most RPGs in storyline).Morphiex said:
FF12 isn't even out yet in the US, so you're probably right that it's going to be awhile for 13. But I'd say closer to a year and a half to two years US release.
did i just hear that? RETURNING AN XBOX 360?! :crackup: :crackup: u can't be serious?!:crackup: dude i work at gamestop and within the next months with the release of nintendo wii and ps3

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
