nothing really new, had leftover pizza for lunch, then just played random switch stuff all day mostly snk 40th and tetris 99 you know. I did also start the new season of american gods.
oh forgot to add I won a game from one of neen's random raffles... out of her grab bag I thought maldita castilla ex would be the most up my alley... she got me the code a few hours ago. unfortunately I haven't been able to get my joystick to work with it (even the joy2key program to translate the inputs to keyboard presses doesn't work, I can't fire without pausing the game and remapping doesn't do anything... might experiment more tomorrow)
sounds like mish is a little under the weather :( poor thing.
venting below and some other thoughts just to get it out
( Read more...Collapse )dinner was mcdonald's quarter pounder with cheese... and bacon lol so not bad.
anyway now just watching jojo live for once (even though it's the dub)
ain't nobody got time for bullshit, at least it ended better
yeah the 'we're broke' defense doesn't work when you just got back from a fucking hockey trip/hotel stay. I don't buy it. why the hell did you make me put down a shopping list if we didn't have the money anyway? granted it was after the heating people came out again to do some more work.
had to pay matt to get me some kfc (the original plan was to just walk up to taco bell I should've just fucking done that. :( oh well)
at least they're trying one of the blue apron things for dinner... sounds interesting will update later afterward see how it is...
it's not bad! I mean I didn't dislike it, at least. mom gave me some of her sweet peach water, it was actually pretty good! almost like 7up or something but peach flavor... admittedly I'm not a huge fan of peach flavor but it was still pretty good.
I asked mom if I could help with the next one and she said sure, she got one that appears to be an italian dish shrimp with fettucini and garlic bread... sounds pretty good! so stay tuned to see how that turned out.
and mom just ran up to the store also got me a case of coke, a bag of cheetos and a little thing of dark chocolate / mint kisses, so it wasn't a completely trash day.

obviously today wasn't as exciting as yesterday but it was a good enough day...
I dusted off my copy of construct 2 (game construction set) and found a neat tutorial for a 2D platfomer type game, actually wasn't too hard to follow, it came with all the graphics and stuff you'd need (and it wasn't behind a paywall!) so I spent the evening doing that and got all the way to the end of the first video...
man I forgot just how easy that programming thing was! I don't know if they cover adding music, but if I remember how I may go either beepbox or looplabs and try to compose a song see if I can add one if I have to. :P
oh what else... oh yeah! decided I would take the plunge and try to join up this D&D game one of the guys in this group mish invited me to wanted to start up.... forgot I had an account at the site he'll be using so it'll be awesome to actually get some use out of it! (I literally haven't even used it yet, heh)
hopefully I'll be able to keep up with the games at least once a week if not more, tried to sign up for as often as I could (I think I only got weekends off because of the sunday podcasts and aside from this friday I don't think I'll be missing many I hope.
almost two more weeks of vacation left, you got the concert on friday then I fly home a little over a week later!

sure enough today was already better... caught up on the orville which actually delved into some pretty serious themes... see there's a race of all male aliens, but one of them gave birth to a female! so there was this big huge thing on whether to operate on her to make her a male alien (basically the transgender controversy) so initially he wasn't going to do it, (since unsurprisingly they feel that females are inferior to males, shocker I know) but one of his fellow crew members shows him Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer as an example of 'being different isn't SO bad', so he finally has a change of heart....
but then he goes in front of the jury back home and she just winds up having to have the surgery anyway.... but his dad does give him a rudolph plush at the end of it as a clever nod to that whole thing... I was honestly surprised they went right at such a heavy topic!
anyway later in the afternoon, the mail arrived and all our games arrived (and my case! which also included a little artbook and a double-sided poster... and a download code for a bonus retro outfit which I'll be sure to wait til I get home to redeem, I made the mistake of doing that with the sonic dlc from that game when I had it, and couldn't use it again so not making that mistake twice)

so today, helped dad with getting the laptop back up again, had to put his antivirus on the usb drive so he could have it without downloading it, I think the only thing left to do is get his wireless mouse to work again, no idea why it wouldn't...
I did find a really good headset I can probably use for streaming so whenever I can get that back up again I'll have to try using it when I stream!
I think some point this week dad was gonna go on gamefly and pick up some of the games randy wanted for his birthday... and maybe the copy of mighty #9 I had my eye on, I mean it's 8 bucks and even though I offered to give him ten bucks to cover it, he didn't want it so yay I suppose!
other than that a mostly uneventful day, just sitting around here online or watching tv or whatever... oh dad did mention to send mom a thank you note for the note for the scorpion necklace she sent kathy from the other day when she sent us the ticket for my flight home so I did that... sounds like she was in santa cruz with the inlaws so I didn't get to talk long but message was received anyway so, there's at least that.
but in the evening mish and I caught up with some more michiko and hatchin, though midway through the second ep dad got skype up and found out it could translate his speech into other languages so he spent a few minutes monkeying with that XD
( Read more...Collapse )playstation experience day 1 stuff and my day
had lunch at about noon but come to find out we were going out to eat and to see fantastic beasts in the theater so I mean that was fun... drove up to in n out and chowed down then off to the theater...
I mean I liked the movie even though I didn't have a whole lot of frame of reference for the books really. but it was fun a lot of neat special effects.
but then we went to the bank and to the store, then back here at home.
I did find out I'd be home alone next weekend, with my mom flying out to texas to see inlaws and the boys going to san jose for a sharks game... yknow what it's fine. I'd have the place to myself and not have anyone breathing down my neck for two days so I think I'll be okay.
either or I'd just be holed up on my computer for most of it anyway so why leave home at all?
had carnitas for dinner and now i'm sitting here writing about my day.
life update and some other stuff
all I know is I'd better wind up with my own damn room again soon. at least even my brother is wondering when his friend is going to move out so I hope its sooner than later and he stops dragging his fucking ass about it.
anyway, elsewhere in shit I actually care about, I heard that EA was ending support for their online MMO racer, Need For Speed World. I didn't really get a whole lot of time with the game, the piece of shit desktop my dad gave me had some bullshit no-name graphics card that was complete shit so the game wouldn't run at all... and then on the netbook it was still too slow to be playable outside of the single player races.
Admittedly I haven't played it a whole lot on this new computer but I had so much else going on I just never found the time!
So I poked around online for a hacked save file for NFS Carbon on PS2. See all of the versions of the game feature the same 'car catalog' which features all of the games normal cars, the 'Collector's Edition' cars, as well as unlocks and DLC cars, (so yes they were on the disc :( ) it's just certain versions of the game only feature some of the cars in the normal game, but I did suspect something was up when the Wii version of the game had a challenge with a car that isn't otherwise normally selectable in the game.
Then I found a youtube video of someone who hacked the game via gameshark codes or something and his garage featured ALL of the cars on the disc, even the exclusive/dlc ones, so finally I had the opportunity to try that via a hacked save, now I just need to find a way to unlock the rest of the game so I don't have to do it manually lol. It's so much fun drifting with some of the special cars like the Corolla GTS and the 240SX, it's freaking sweet!
Other than that we've been playing Dungeon Fighter Online again as the 2nd part of the beta test is underway with an all new class! Been trying to play Don't Starve Together as well though lately it's been giving me issues so I haven't been able to play with her. :(
Other than that there's not a whole lot new to speak of.
well if that didn't just make my day
gamergirrl77! I guess she just has to mail them and explain that she's out of state currently but is still interested in a residence here in California. So I'm hoping that they come through for her, it would be so great like you don't even KNOW.home life here is mostly the same as always, i guess the family is taking turns staying with lloyd to make sure he's okay. so hopefully things won't be too stressful here because of it.

hopeful
did have some happy news I almost forgot about
I remembered that mish loves to write fiction, so I figured I would show her that and she can turn her stories into a game! So we're currently in the midst of writing a game called Supreme Delusions, about a mysterious young girl who finds herself in a hospital after missing for two years, and things just get stranger from there!
Right now we've just started writing the prologue, but hopefully soon we'll at least have that part of the story done then we can see about working on future chapters.
first real update in a while
since I didn't get to do an E3 post I'll just cover that briefly:
MS:
had a couple neat things, like the HALO HD Anniversary collection (HALO 1-4 remastered in high definition and playable over XBOX Live!)
Phantom Dust coming back is pretty cool too, I remember the XBOX1 version being quite fun, very M:TG-esque
EA:
With Need For Speed taking the year off (save for the feature film, which I did see and was EPIC) ... not that it was gonna be on WiiU anyway, there wasn't anything that I could get excited about over at EA... well possibly the Star Wars Battlefront might be cool.
Ubisoft:
Well Just Dance might be fun but I probably know like maybe two or three songs in each one. The Crew is probably skipping WiiU so no point in getting excited for it is there?
Sony:
Actually my brother picked up a PS4 and the Diablo III expansion for it, so I'll probably at least get to try destiny... its by the HALO guys at bungie so I bet it'll be fun. Little Big Planet 3 should be interesting, if they're still doing the whole 'develop your own game' thing.
Nintendo:
Smash: want! also may want one or more of the amiibo figures to go with it! Hope there's a megaman one or I'll just get the pit one.
Yarn Yoshi: might be cool, though not launching til 2015. :(
Zelda WiiU: I scared the dogs with how loud I screamed when Aonuma snapped his fingers to reveal the first peek at the game world of Zelda U ... IT LOOKED AMAZING! and if they're really going to try and go back to the original zelda's 'go anywhere you want and do the dungeons in almost any order' format then this may easily be the best Zelda OF ALL TIME. Definitely GotY 2015 front-runner for sure.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker: I imagine nintendo getting a ton of club nintendo submissions for Super Mario 3D World which say 'please make captain toad's levels into its own game' (much like mine did) which is exactly what they did. supposed to be holiday 2014 so will look for that one!
Bayonetta 2: well actually it's 1 and 2, with an HD remaster of the original with some nintendo-themed extras, so that'd be worth checking out just for the bonuses!
Hyrule Warriors: really excited for this one! obviously not anywhere near as excited as for Zelda U, but for the time being this one looks like fun.
Mario Maker: Will likely get this one as well, even though it's not due til 2015. A mario-themed construction set, how many years have peopled asked for this?! I do wonder what they'll include as far as represented games and such... but we shall see!
Kirby: welllllll I dunno, I never played the original DS game, I guess I'm not feeling this one as much, honestly.
Splatoon: almost want to call this game of the show, cause it's just so new and original! a team-based FPS that's non-violent and definitely safe for all ages! and it does feature online multiplayer so more online games are always good.
Devil's Third: a 3rd party game from Tomonobu Itagaki (Ninja Gaiden series, DOA) this was my other tossup vote for game of the show, a 3rd-person action game with swordplay and shooting with guns, this one also has multiplayer with a TON of customization options... I think its holiday 2014 I just hope it doesn't get delayed or cancelled...
--
relationship? ... I'm not sure. she came back briefly right around new year's but then exited again some point in april... then sometime in july relocated to texas (and I doubt they'd want her sleeping with some white guy in the same bed, let alone 'sleeping' if you catch my drift)
I think she's hung up on me getting my own place but I wouldn't even know where to begin... closest thing to that is if I did it with my brother but I just don't think we're in the right place financially to do that, so IDK. I know she told me she'd take the first red-eye out of texas to come back to cali.... I'd love to have her here but there's barely room for me here. I can only hope the door will stay open on that offer cause my brother's friend may finally be at least thinking about moving out... so if I play my cards right I would have her here and we just trade my brother back for the king-size bed I was using before.
I don't even know if they'd go for it, but they fucking owe me for the almost five years I got shafted on my own room.
wow that went way long.... anyway that's all I got so I'm gonna go watch space dandy, read another chapter of elfquest: complete and then go to bed.
