A Dysfunctional Fairy Tale

Folklore

Thu, 29 May 2008 15:18:39 GMT

So I finished me ratchet and Clank game. I'm actually half way through my second game.

I've now started playing folklore which is a really awesome game with awesome graphics. One of the cool things is that for a lot of the monsters or folk you have the beat. You have to do it in a certain way. So a lot of things are impossible to do unless you have the right powers. But the game tells you what you need to do in the form of these pages you have to gather. But you can't read them instead you have to decipher these cute little pictures that usually make no sense untill you see the monster or folk involved. I like it a lot. Even though I'm kind of stuck on this one big monster or as the game calls it folklore. It's just a neat action rpg.

On another note my computer has died. I do not know if I can bring it back I haven't had the time or energy to try but it does not look good. It seems like the hard drive is done but I'm not 100% sure it can't be saved. However as for anything having to do with the internet I have my blackberry pearl phone. So that's something at least.

My Lovely

Fri, 16 May 2008 14:51:05 GMT

So I get home last night to play my lovely ps3 aka my dream machine. And I turn it on super excited and the TV starts making this horrible noise and there's all these lines on the screen.

After much monkeying around and a call to my brother and friend. I realize that the last time I played the dish network wasn't working (it had been out for a week or so). Since then it had been fixed and mysteriously I cannot play the ps3 with the dish plugged in and vice versa.

Whether the dish and ps3 are messing with each other or my TV just can't handle all that stuff (it's only like a couple years old) I just don't know. I have two things to try: a different TV or dish tech support.

At least I figured out that I can play and watch TV I just can't have both plugged in at the same time even if they're both off and unplugged from the wall.

Weird right?

Iron Man

Fri, 02 May 2008 15:05:29 GMT

I love Iron Man!

He is so darn handsome. Especially in the red and gold suit. That's my favorite.

I really liked the movie. But I really like iron man even before the movie was even started. Which is way I was extra excited about it coming out.

Plus for anyone who hasn't seen it. There is a scene after the credits. Love it!

Ps. I'm not dead!

YATTA!

That is all!

mechanical squirrel madness

Tue, 10 Apr 2007 15:10:11 GMT

Hey, been a way for a while but that's is because wow stole my life as I explained before. I have a 25 level undead priest that does tailoring and enchanting and I have a 25 level undead rogue who mines and engineers. I totally have a mechanical squirrel that follows me around. So cute!

However I've been around here and there and have read quite a few post, sadly I posted very few comment so my apologies.

Gaming is still going on Tuesday nights! Our original game (the one that last almost a year or around a year) is official over (well at least for now). So right now we're only playing my game. I don't know how every one else feels about that but I say super fun! There are other games in the works but we'll see.

Only 18 more days until flarecarrot comes home. YAY! Good times all around, including more players for games and general happiness.

Also going to see Grindhouse either tomorrow or the next day. I can't wait!!

Anyways I wonder what I'm going to do for tonight’s game.......

WoW I can't believe that happened.

Fri, 09 Mar 2007 20:22:23 GMT

Well it has happened. I know I said it never would but it did and I love it.

I started playing...... world of warcraft.

Which explains where I've been, (well that and the extra time at work).

Right now I'm playing an undead priest almost level 14, don't remember what server I'm on though.

But I think I'm gonna try playing an undead rogue.

I just thought I'd mention this because I think a few of you on my friends list play too.

El Laberinto del Fauno and other fancies

Thu, 25 Jan 2007 18:50:28 GMT

Well I watched Pan's Labyrinth last night. The spanish title sounds so much better though, El Laberinto del Fauno. It's based in Spain in 1944 and is entirely in Spanish with English subtitles. It's was written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, who for those of you who don't know he also directed Hell Boy (another movie that I love) and Blade II (which I also like). I really love these types of stories in movies, on tv, books, or any medium really. I love real fairy tales. Not to mention the scenery and the magical creatures look real. For example the fairies are greenish brown and they disguise themselves as bugs, as opposed to other fairy stories where the fairies all sparkly and pretty. The faun looked amazingly cool. You almost couldn't tell if he was suppose to be the bad guy because of how he looked. The overall story was good and the actors were awesome. Although I expected something a little different from what I saw of the previews (I expected more fairy tale/imaginary world submersion), I still loved it.

The movie reminded me a of game I wanted to run after I read the sample of the rpg "Don't Rest Your Head". I was thinking about buying the book, but after reading the demo I didn't really like/understand the rolling and the rules. I did however like the premise of the world and I thought of running a game in a world similar to that would be cool and watching this movie made me want to do that even more.

I did run my first game (well first game with people around the same age as me and not library kids) on Tuesday. It went okay, the first game is usually slow, even slower when you have 6 players. Hopefully the next game in two weeks will go a alot smoother because character introductions are over and little stories have begun. I think I'll post more about my game, so I can keep track of what's going on, but it'll probably be where the people playing it can't see, just in case I give anything away.

Also just a overview of what's filling up my dvr since a couple new series and episodes started up last week. New episodes of Heroes started Monday, if you didn't know that or have never heard of Heroes, you have to educate yourself, now. The same goes for Psych because new episodes started last friday. I've also started watching the new FX series DIRT, which is also very good. And another thing Sci-Fi has a new show "The Dresdon Files", which I assume is based on the book series by Jim Butcher because of the name and description, although I never got a chance to read it I just think it would be an awfully big coincidence if it wasn't. The first episode was last sunday, which I haven't watched yet, but I plan to. Of course I'm still watching new Mythbusters, catching reruns of House on two different stations, and new Family Guy and American Dad on Fox Sunday nights. So I guess you could say I'm successfully rotting my brain with tv.

And one more thing, I really want to catch up on all the new books I have. I'm still reading the Hitchhiker's Guide the the Universe Series, the Dead Witch Walking series, a couple books I borrowed/bought a months ago, and some new books for christmas. Not to mention the tons of graphic novels I have to read, including 4 new Petshop of Horrors and all the Marvel ones that I've borrowed/given (Including Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic 4, and tons more).

So wish me luck, and sorry for the long entry, but it was just building up. And for those people I haven't commented to in awhile, I promise I've been reading, I just haven't had time to comment, hopefully I will soon.

Zombies make me giggle, not really.

squidlicious

Sun, 07 Jan 2007 03:23:41 GMT

I changed my layout. I'm not sure if I like it. I mean I love how it looks and love the squid, but I'm just not sure if it's easy enough to read. I might change the colors around some more.

Sat, 06 Jan 2007 23:10:36 GMT

Lookie Lookie what I got. Love them.

I think I'm gonna change my whole layout and use the picture from the Mindless Self Indulgence cd I got.

We'll see.....

It peek instead of boo

Yay for Giant Squid. First video taken of a Giant Squid. It's suppose to be an 11 footer but it looks small. Oh well he's (or she's) still too cute.

Sometimes the missing aren't lost, they just aren't found yet

Thu, 16 Nov 2006 18:42:40 GMT

Well. It's been quite awhile. I know I have been neglecting many people, not just on LJ but everywhere.

I have been really busy at work and sick. I can say with certainty that my absence has completely nothing to do with the lack of willpower I have to pull myself away from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines or any other video game for that matter. Okay maybe that has just a little to do with it, but I really was sick for a while and work was really busy.

But none of that matters now, for I have returned. I am still addicted to my mindless video games of every system and genre imaginable but I know realize the necessity to not neglect my own dysfunctional fairytale.

I also have started playing Call of Cthulhu and Gun, along with VtM: Bloodlines and Fable and Kingdom Hearts which I am still in the middle of. Not to mention Oblivion is still waiting to be played. And lets not forget about our Halo nights which usually happen about twice a week.

They tuesday night gaming is also going well. There is talk of a d&d pirate game in which I will play a were-octopus swashbuckler because seriously where else are you going to play a were-octopus besides in a pirate game.

And don't worry I have not stopped working on my game, but it won't be played until those who have gone away return, hopefully soon.

As for the rest of my time that I was away........ eh, whatever.

evil snow storm of electric death

Fri, 13 Oct 2006 07:02:31 GMT

Well it was icky rain when I went to work and then icky snow when I left from work.

I sat in the same place on the I-190 for over 30 minutes. It took me an hour and 15 to get home.

But this was just the beginning.

There is lightening and thunder.

There was rain and hail, then rain hail and snow. And now there is only snow, about 7 inches of heavy wet snow.

Many places have no power trees are snapping everywhere. Power lines are coming down.

This message is for those people who read this who are not in buffalo (you know who you are)

Those who are in buffalo with me, you know how it is.

Here are some pictures for you.

They show the downed tree bringing the power line down. The first is with the flash the second is with out flash.

And for those of you who have been missing me. I have been very busy at work and probably will be until novemeber so updates won't be as often as they were.

Can you say Reefer Zombies Madness?

Thu, 05 Oct 2006 16:23:01 GMT

Reefer Madness Site

IMDB.com Info

This movie was incredible crazy including its Reefer Zombies who represent high school kids smoking pot.

The Zombie make-up was surprisingly good considering it wasn't even a zombie movie.

And yes it is a remake of the original 1936 Reefer Madness which I have watched all of it so I don't know how close it follows to the original.

Plus it's a musical with extremely funny lyrics and hot chicks.

Still some bugs and yahoo bandwidth sucks but it's okay for what it is.

The tattoos

Sun, 24 Sep 2006 22:49:04 GMT

Geoff's on the left, mine's on the right. Both are on our left wrists, Geoff's goes all the way around, mine's just on the top.

It actually didn't really hurt at all. It hurt like the sound the pen made. That buzzing sound. Afterwards it just felt like a little sunburn. Nothing compared to most sunburns I get.

What does the murder of a butterfly mean?

Thu, 21 Sep 2006 17:25:52 GMT

I killed a butterfly today.

I hit him doing 60 miles per hour.

It's body crunch and smushed on my windshield.

And it's body's on the side of the I-190

It was a big one too.

And now it's dead.

I think this is a sign.

I'm not sure of what.

But it must mean something.

I felt like time stopped a little bit as I watched it fly into my windshield.

I made no move to try and avoid it.

I just watched it.

Everything stop in that moment, like in the movies.

You know, when the main character passes someone they knew or they were looking for and the turn to get a better look.

Or when the main character finally realizes the plot of the movie and the horrible deed that was committed.

I hope it's a good sign.

I don't have the energy to deal with a bad sign.

Holy Jesus Christ Superstar, Batman!

See my eyes I can hardly see
See me                   stand I can hardly walk
I believe                                       you can make me whole
See my tongue I can                                        hardly talk
See my skin                                             I'm a                                                   mass of blood
See my legs I can hardly stand
I      believe you can make me well
Will you touch will you mend me Christ
                                                                           Won't you touch will you heal me Christ
           Will you                         kiss you can cure me Christ
                              Won't you kiss, won't you pay me Christ
