I figured no big deal, it's my balls, got to take care of them.<br /><br /><br /> I figured they'd have a male doctor do these procedures, but I couldn't complain.<br /><br /><br /> I go in for the ultrasound, in the waiting room, and the door opens and it is a remarkably attractive young woman standing there. She calls my name, introduces herself, and says "I will be administering the ultrasound on your testicles today. Since I'm only a student my supervisor will need to come in and check the tests afterwards and probably take more ultrasounds. But I graduate i August I'm so excited!!!" I loved how she got all excited right before giving my ultrasound.<br /><br /><br /> She has me wrap two towels around my waist, one to hold me penis up from my balls, and the other to go under my balls. She says the first is to keep the penis from "getting in her way" and the second is to catch all the ultrasound gel that has to be put on my balls. I get all the towels in order, she comes back in, and as im laying there, proceeds to rub the gel on my balls and asks me to tell her if she isn't gentle enough. It felt like ky or astroglide! Anyways, so then comes the ultrasound gun thing. She was very soft with it, constantly moving it around on my balls for about 20 minutes.<br /><br /><br /> I just laid back.. It was so peaceful! I started to get hard halfway through, but some thoughts of a big fat heffer with too much hair took care of that.<br /><br /><br /> lol, i want to go back for another one! </em></p><p>This is not for pleasure, you sick freaks.</p> Comment #84176 http://thevgpress.com//forumtopics/travo_333_14.html#comment84175 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:56:51 GMT <p>I've had Fusion in my DS for a while now.

But in my google search I came across this which is far better.</p><p><a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061230181534AASC8XD">http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061230181534AASC8XD</a></p><p><em>Q: I am getting a testicular ultrasound next week and I am kind of worried about it. Anyone out there had one before? What was it like?</em></p><p>Some of the answers:</p><p>A: <span style="font-style:italic;">I</span><em>t was completely painless, and they use a gel that covers the entire scrotum. I was in there for about 30 minutes. It was done by a woman, and she was very discreet about it. The ultrasound tool is moved over your scrotum from side to side, and no pressure is applied at all. It is not uncomfortable in any way.<br /><br /><br /> She had me lay my penis on my stomach, and she put a towel over my penis and stomach, and surrounded the scrotum with cloths so that only the scrotum was exposed. Again completely painless.<br /><br /><br /> I was fine until about 25 minutes in, at that moment I got an erection (the procedure isn't sexual of course in any way, sometimes it just happens, you get an erection). So I layed my arm across my penis under the towel, to keep it from popping up. She was, again, very discreet about it. </em></p><p><span style="font-style:italic;">A:</span> <em>What are you worried about? The ultrasound or the results?<br /><br /> The room will be cold. Your penis will get as small as it can and your scrotum will tighten up. The ultrasound tech will have you raise your hospital gown up for access. They will ask you to hold your penis out of the way or they will tape it out of the way. The tech will put some goop on the sensor and start rubbing it (non sexually) around your scrotum. You won't get an erection and if you do, it happens, it will be covered by your gown. No worries mate, we've seen it all! You'll clean yourself up and go home. Don't ask the tech for the results; the MD has to give you the news. You'll hear from the MD after a radiologist or urologist interprets the findings. You'll receive a clean bill of health or something unimportant or you'll be in for a removal of a testicle.</em></p><p>A:<em> I had one done by a female technician, it was a little embarrassing. It took a good 30 mins. she looked at her computer screen more than she looked at my testicles. <strong>After about 15 mins. she rubbed the wand up and down my penis, I asked why she was doing that and she said she was trying to get blood into the area for a better picture.

After that, all that's left from the classic pen and paper experience is the (sometimes) slow, boring, and limited turn based combat systems. These are video games, and some people would rather just do away with the numbers and attack menus, much like the general FPS player doesn't want to deal with having to clean and maintain a firearm-- or anything remotely resembling real world combat, for that matter.</p> Comment #84132 http://thevgpress.com//ggweekly/aspro_1283979257_13.html#comment84131 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 21:54:17 GMT <blockquote class="commentQuote"><div class="quoteName">Dvader said:</div><div class="quoteText"><blockquote class="commentQuote"><div class="quoteName">edgecrusher said:</div><div class="quoteText"><p>I honestly wish that's what Retro were doing right NOW.

RPG's are suppose to have rich stories and characters, which is all a lot of JRPG's have going for them, as they still rely on turn-based combat systems. If the characters, plot, and cinematics aren't unique and interesting, there isn't much reason to invest 30+ hours into the game.</p><p>Regardless, I agree the JRPG bashing has gotten out of hand. WRPG's seem to have made a comeback this generation, and are among the hip games to play. I was rather irked myself when players started bashing FF13 for being linear when it's no more linear than the Final Fantasies before it which are still present in website top 100's everywhere. After being so prominent in gaming for the last three gens, JRPG's are probably going to have to take a back seat for a while until they get their second wind. Right now, adventuring and dungeon crawling is what's "in".</p></div></blockquote><p>Well, i fwe are going to talk about what RPG's are supposed to have I guess you'd have to go back to the original D&D -- which is what started all of this.  Yes story is very important -- of paramount importance, and on that front JRPGs fail a thousand times over for the most part.  But in terms of turn-based play, wouldn't that also be what RPG's are supposed to have?</p> Comment #84122 http://thevgpress.com//ggweekly/Dvader_1283977780_12.html#comment84121 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 21:29:40 GMT <blockquote class="commentQuote"><div class="quoteName">ASK_Story said:</div><div class="quoteText"><p>I'm totally convinced that Nomura is making these little handheld KH games so he can fund his Versus XIII game.
