I don't usually call games "wasted potential" but...

    While he may admit to being wrong, he does not admit to faulty decisions themselves. For instance, he would not have admitted that it was a bad idea to ask (not that it was, but as an example), while he would have admitted that he did not get his question across well.

    In a case like this, he might admit that he trolled badly under some circumstances, but he would not admit that the trolling itself was something to be regretted.

    But that's the thing, if I do not see being a narcissist as a bad thing, then why would I say it was a flaw and try to learn from it? Is that not your basis for everything, then I do not see my own flaws? But what if I don't view them as actual flaws?

    That's just the thing though, those two things seem pretty related to one another. The only reason why he was such a knight in shining armor, was because he was trying to make up for the things he did during the war. He was so caught up with getting his redemption that he spends all his time thinking about nothing but cases. Which was more than likely what caused him to drift away from his wife and kids, spending time with them would not help him get this redemption. It's apperantly a common thing for war veterans to grow apart from their lovers from before the war. However, it was not handled poorly. They could have at least shown us the situation at home, or even just implied it during some dialouge while driving around, but we got to learn next to nothing about his situation, which made the cheating just seem weird and out of place. There wasn't much of buildup towards his love for the German singer though, so that's another thing that was handled poorly. Honestly, most things relating to Cole, storywise, were poorly handled, which is a big shame. So much potential.

    But I have to agree, the other Rockstar hero who died was handled much better. That was a much better game in most all aspects though.

    I rather liked Heavy Rain and Asura's Wrath.

    August is such a boss I want him to raise my children.

    You should see it as a bad thing because it will impede your ability to become more efficient in multiple areas in your life. It is not a matter of opinion that narcissism is a flaw, it is provably bad for the continued progress of the individual and for personal growth as well.

    Narcissism is something you rationalize to yourself. A narcissist is someone who at the end of the day has low self-esteem because society does not acknowledge their genius. They feel others should bow down, and when they do not, they have two options: acknowledge the possibility of a fault, or blame everyone else. A narcissist is one who chooses to blame everyone else. No one is truly comfortable with being a narcissist, because narcissism itself is a lie that will lead the one who holds it into ever more frustrating circumstances.

    It is a personality disorder because it impedes the individual in many aspects that would hinder them from having close relationships with other people, making intelligent business decisions, or acknowledging and working around nearly every kind of obstacle.

    You really shouldn't be surprised anymore whenever Makaze is involved.

    Mak I hate to say I told you so, but

    note how when you actually do make a good point or try to get across something serious

    everyone blows it off as "typical Makaze."

    The rest of you should be ashamed. Except Chris. He should be mortified.

    Good to know that I can rely on Makaze to successfully **** up my thread with **** nobody cares about
    That's because a majority of the time....

    1. Nobody cares
    2. His arguing is off topic and could easily be dealt with through private messaging
    3. Nobody cares
    4. Nobody cares
    5. I can't stress enough how much NOBODY cares.

    This is the spam zone of a Kingdom hearts message board
    There are VERY few reasons as to why ANYONE should type out an intelligent arguement of any kind.

    Except you seem to be the only one that has a huge problem with Chris' "behaviour". Stop criticising every member you encounter and look at yourself for a change.

    That's why you should just Private message him if you have a problem.
    You should know by now that when you pull this **** EVERYONE get's mad and a perfectly fine thread can be turned into a complete utter shitstorm because one person doesn't know when to stop pushing people's buttons.
    Unless you're intentionally trolling in which case you have my utmost respect.

    I tend to do that quite often. You could say that my flaws come out primarily when I am criticizing others, so if I were to look at myself while I am not criticizing them, I am not sure what flaws I would find. There comes a point where criticism is better than ignoring someone, a line that few seem to be willing to cross.

    I find myself hearing something a lot lately.

    "Tu quoque."

    That's cool and all, finding out flaws on your own and whatnot
    BUT COULD WOULD YOU KINDLY DO IT SOME PLACE ELSE?
    SOME PLACE WHERE YOU WON'T PISS OFF EVERYONE YOU INTERACT WITH!?
    I.E: PRIVATE MESSAGING
