  1. So much fucking ignorance in this thread it makes me spitting fighting sick.

     

     

     

     

    Looks like the french need to learn about frontal lobe ADHD.

     

    And alot of CR.

     

    ADHD may be over-diagnosed. Meds may be over-prescribed. Schools may be unable to handle the children.

     

    All that may be true, but here's what else is true: ADHD is real.

     

    I'm a parent with a 6yr old ADHD child who is off the charts on every metric. For 6 years (because he was different than other babies from day one) we tried everything: from parenting programs to psychiatrists to psychologists to coaches, to dietary plans and LCAT and allergic testing ad nauseum. We've had xrays and catscans and MRIs. Intervention specialists and Occupational Therapists. We've gone thru more than a half dozen preschools and daycares. Our son was "kicked out" of his first daycare at 3yrs old. When we began seeking professional help when he was 2years old we told caregivers and advisors we wanted to try everything possible and not meds. We were NEVER ONCE "pushed" onto meds. It was never recommended, it was never suggested, it was never alluded to. We were given strategies to try, none of which involved pharmacuticals. Parent groups, peer circles, support groups, nobody ever pushed us toward meds.

     

    In Oct 2012 we decided to try meds, because everything else was not working, and far from getting better as he got older he was getting worse. Very hard and painful decision. One of the hardest of our lives.

     

    More than nine months later we're still looking for one that works. Meds are not just "the easy answer" or "parenting in a pill". Finding one is that's right for your child is hard as hell and may very well be impossible. We've tried 6 so far and none have worked. But we soldier on. M<any times we've said to ourselves "fuck this, fuck these meds, fuck other parents, fuck the school system, we just want our natural boy back". But then we also know our "natural boy" - who may have been an allpha male leader of a tribe and prized warrior in past society - will not function in our world without a ruined life. We owe him to keep trying.

     

    So while that bullshit article listed a bunch of things that are worth trying, hey guess what: some, no, MANY parents of ADHD children DO try them. They try everything possible before going the route of meds. And even that route isn't quick or fast or easy and may not turn out to be the right.

     

    How do I know? Because I'm the fucking parent of an ADHD child, and I know a whole fuck ton more other ADHD children and parents of ADHD children than you do.

     

    So here you go, fuck-cunts, some articles to get you started on frontal lobe ADHD:

    Anyone without a true ADHD kid who'd like to come to my face and tell me how I'm not disciplining my child or that my child's condition is due solely to perception and misparenting and society, is welcome to have the discussion with me, in person, within arm's reach. I promise you one thing: you'll come away understanding what it feels like to deal with fucking retards in society. You'll feel something, I promise.

    Cliff's Notes : FUCK YOU

  2. infinite is too plot heavy, so atmosphere-laden, dialog and story dependent, that taking it into deathmatch would be just a waste.

     

    it is a great game, don't get me wrong. just dont go into it expecting any hot pixel on pixel seckzy time payoff at the end. they blow any chance of that shit clean out of the water.

    (i just typed that didnt i? sorry)

  3. I can only see doing replay to catch the bits you didn't catch up on the first go round.

     

    After the big "shocker" of the finale the whole game will seem different. But it will be the same game over again because you're sort of on rails. Its GTA in that you're free to explore areas and go back, but there's no point.

     

    For me at least it was about the story and characters. The combat just was something I did to move the story along. So for me there's no reason to replay it. Plus, I hate knowing what happens in the end.
