I have absolutely no idea how to look up members, banned or otherwise, other than the ranking.

Use the Search feature, and select "User" from the drop-down menu.

I used that search thing on the top right. Searched hamster.

Doesn't do anything for me... Hmmm...

I wanted to put this in the place where it would get the most attention, as I owe some big apologies.  

Last month I beat Fable.  I was playing it on a 360 and found the game both enthralling and frustrating.  I was drawn into the world, loved customizing my character and doing quests, but my enjoyment was retarded by what seemed a horrible bug either of game design or by the emulation on the 360.  Whenever I had to use the directional pad menus to select potions/ weapons or tactics sometimes it would work, most times it would not.  More often then not the wrong item was executed, usually in the midst of battle.  This resulted in many battles being lost due to poor controls.  Mrs. Aspro, who observed my frustration, agreed that indeed the game was impossibly maddening, but recalled when she beat it, she did not have the same troubles.

So I muddled through and beat the game, all the while hating it like I hated no other.

Well I played another 360 game yesterday.  One that required obvious use of the directional pad, and, you guessed it.  My controller is broken.  I played Fable in it's entirety with a broken controller.

And there to join it, this brilliancy

Well, well, well.

This is my biggest gaming facepalm in a couple of months.

Man.

Okay, so I had not played it for a few years right?  Turns out... I had mini cast on everyone, so I could not cast Toad on them.  I've been playing over half of this game (6 hours at least) with my characters in MINI.  No wonder I thought this game was shit!  Everyone's physical attacks where diminished, as were the spells, as were the avatars!

You know how I always go on about hating th graphical style of FF3?  It's probably because my FUCKING characters were in MINI.  Now I've level a jillion-billion because I've been walking around with nothign to do for the last 5 hours of gaming.

This may be better than beating Fable with a broken controller.

No, just when I was making it my first attempt of imitating you did not sound any different from my voice. I had some of your catch phrases, so I decided to make fun of your bad audio quality from back in the day. These days your audio is good.

Keep in mind everyone, that thing was not scripted, I totally threw it together in under a half hour.

          What are my catch phrases, I know I repeat stuff but it becomes automatic so you dont catch it.

You keep repeating: "I want man ass, now!" Again, and again and again and.....
