Queen Bee

coffee addict, I also played wheel of fortune and jeopardy, pacman, carmen sandiego. Fun games 🙂

Toi, never heard of it, so it must not be that awesome 😛

MiddlePath, tickle toe eitus, Google “Dosbox” and you’ll see the downloadable program. Choose for Windows 7 or XP, vista, whatever your computer uses. Make sure to read the instructions that tell you exactly how to use it. If you have questions, I’ll try to answer. I’ve been using the program for a few years and it’s amazing. On my old, old computer (windows 98, I think), the sound in DOS never worked and I was so upset, but with Dosbox the sound works for almost all games.

MiddlePath, I’ll be back to answer your post.

I’m not crazy about the whole ST franchise, but I do love some of the elements, and I love STV, although of course it’s not as popular as the other ones. I’m not that much of a geek 😉

Zombies are in now. Used to be vampires and werewolves. They also make great horror-type games. Best thing to kill 🙂

MiddlePath, LOL!!!

I wanted to buy “table3”, but I bought an RPG and a mystery crime lab game instead. Is it good? I read some negative reviews, so I was hesitant. I loved NFS as a kid. It would be be really fun playing it on the other console, the “me”.

I burned my video card a few years ago because I played games on the highest graphics. So I’m really careful now.

Oh, wow! You beat me :). I figured most of them out. I wanted to buy “O” a few years back. I forgot to mention that I like games like “C” (think roman empire RTS. C3, C4. It’s a series) and I love GAR (don’t think you’ll know this one, but it’s similar to “C”). Oh, I also play on another console: SMG and SMG2 and SMB (with italian brother characters). I love surgery games. I used to play RCT and RCT3 when I was younger. Now this one is super nerdy, but I love it anyway-STVEF (google it). It’s fps. Don’t make fun lol.

Yeah, I’m getting bored and annoyed with the MMORPG ones. My favorites are the ones that are not online.

Will the mods chop our heads off (in other words, close the thread) if we start listing the names of the games?

I don’t know about the animation thing. I know a guy (non-Jew) who majored in graphic design and he’s looking to work in game design or cartoon, or something like that. But he can’t find any jobs since they’re all in LA. Is it appropriate for a frum girl to work in Hollywood, plus video games is a male dominated industry. I’m not really good anyway. But still, you never know what will happen.

What programs do you use for animations? And what kind of animations do you do?

cinderella, no not really. What did he really want? (what did you explain to her).

Thanks for the responses 🙂

cinderella, aries2756, can someone explain the name on coffee cup thing please? I’m so curious! (the reason I probably don’t know what this is because I don’t drink coffee or go to Starbucks.)

kapusta, yes, I love long skirts! How did you know? I think I enjoy wearing them because I’m really short and (to me, at least) long skirts look better on me than short ones. I look like a little kid in short skirts. I don’t like the labeling because I really don’t fit in any category. The way I dress to some people puts me in the “yeshivish/litvish” category because I’m always dressed tznius (I’ve never had a problem in this area), but my hobbies and behavior might put me in the “MO” category, but people in the “MO” category would say I’m too frum. If you don’t mind me asking, where are you from, Kapusta?

Raphael Kaufman, thanks! Maybe years ago there was a bigger distinction between NY vs. non NY, but today we’re probably all mixed.

MiddlePath, yeah, I noticed you seem different than most posters here. We feel basically the same on all the bullet points I put up (other than the “girly” ones lol). I’m still trying to figure out if I’d like a small community rather than a large one. On one hand, you don’t have to feel ashamed for being you because there is more acceptance, but if you want to avoid someone…yeah, that’d be tricky. There are too many people I’m trying to avoid here. Also, others may be a little too much into your business. Not sure I like that. Also, if something happens (like your situation), it’s hard to escape from it, right? (sorry if I was offensive).

I went to a small high school and I didn’t like it at all. Maybe I like it better when I blend into the crowd, but no matter what I do, I always stand out…so I’m still not sure.

Yeah, I think living in NY or not NY has nothing to do with how I feel. It’s probably just me. This CR might not be the best place for me, but I really like that it’s a Jewish environment. It’s really the only frum forum I belong to.

Thanks for all the responses :). Sorry if I offended anyone with the term “OOT.” It’s just what I hear everyone refer to places outside NY.

Responding to some posters:

bein_hasdorim, LOL. How true!

coffee addict, thanks! That’s a great example.

gefen, I’m not really sure. It’s possible the way I feel has nothing to do with living in NY. So I’ll give some examples, though I’m not sure they portray exactly how I feel:

A) I don’t like conforming. If I do something different than what’s considered the norm, I get the looks, the judging eyes, the “Ummm. Okay.” For those who’ve known me since I was a kid, they know that I am the way I am. But for those who don’t, I always get those looks. And just in general, people always do whatever everyone else does, even if they don’t agree. People drive themselves nuts doing what’s “normal” just so they won’t look bad and ruin their futures. Like taking a break said in her thread http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/its-all-about-shidduchim , every little decision is weighed on what people are SUPPOSED to do rather what they WANT to do. I’m not talking about halacha, of course, since that’s nonnegotiable, but just behavior in general.

B) I’m not a serious person. I like comfortable, so I’d rather come to work looking more comfortable and less “fancy” (but put together, of course). Same with a wedding. I’d rather not have to dress up so much, but of course my mom would have a heart attack if I showed up not looking my best. I’d like to leave the house dressed as I want to be and not have to constantly wonder if the person across the street is staring at me because I’m dressed more casual. I care so much more about personality rather than looks.

C) The whole people watching you like a hawk. Every time I leave the house I always look across the street to see if the neighbor on the porch is watching me. If she is…grrr, I have to act a certain way or else she’ll call my mom. If she’s not…breathe.

G) Do non NYers also categorize themselves? Like Yeshivish, (chasidish is chasidish), Litvish, MO, blah blah, I don’t even know the categories. I have no idea which I belong to. I call myself “undeclared.”

H) Please don’t throw rocks at me (stuffed animals will do just fine :)), but I feel like men in NY are a little offensive to women. This might just be me being exposed to the wrong type of people.

I hope I’m not blowing things out of proportion! It’s possible, like I said earlier, that this has nothing to do with living in NY or not. It may just be a “people” thing, which is a whole other discussion. Mostly, I just want to be myself, however “strange” that might be, and not have to feel scared/nervous/ashamed of what others think of me.

The Goq, hm…it’s possible I might want to run from a few things, too.

MiddlePath, that’s pretty cool about the cars waiting until the woman woke up. Thanks for the examples 🙂

cinderella, I don’t understand the name on the cup thing.

Sorry for the long post! It probably makes no sense, but I tried…

I didn’t start this thread to prove how one is “better” than the other. I honestly just want to know, since I’m a NYer and I’ve never felt like I belong here. Maybe I fit in better with OOT, or maybe I just don’t fit in anywhere.
