Virtual Synopsis: 1.29.2009

So I've finally gotten my Xbox 360 back, well I actually just bought another one :/ Money well spent if you ask me, especially since that FFXII is going to be multi-platform. Still want to be able to play Killzone 3 though...ok anyway, time for the synopsis.

Madden 09
Oh, how I've missed thee! Started over in Franchise mode and went with the Ravens this time, I like Flacco :/ Won the superbowl in the first year and currently in the second year with a record of 9-2.
Joe Flacco's stats are: 2,256 passing yards, 16 TD's, and a 67% completion rate.
My running back is Willis McGahee and he has: 872 rushing yards and 7 TD's.
My two main receivers are Chris Henry (55 receptions, 709 yards, 6 TD's) and Mark Clayton (43 receptions, 578 yards, 2 TD's).

Chris Henry was a free agent at the beginning of the season, lucky me!GTA IV
I could play this game forever ^_^ Started a whole new game, didn't delete my completed save file though. Right now the only safehouse I have is the one in South Bohan, currently waiting for a call from some lawyers so I can go on the job interview and kill someone for Francis. Decided to make different decisions than the one's I made in my first playthrough, didn't kill the guy Vlad wanted me to and didn't kill Dwayne's girlfriend either.

Some stats...
$40,840
35% game progress
Only died 2 times, once by some old lady that pinned me with her car between another car and once by the police.
248 people killed, 112 headshots, 67% shooting accuracy
35 days passed
92 cars stolen, 1 bike stolen
Player image is "Flashy"
100% with Kiki

Plan on buying a new game today, most likely Fallout 3.

Ramblings: freezing edition

Unedited inner dialogue recorded during music enjoyment

Charlie Brown Gets A Valentine, sweet. Guy in my French class looks like the vocalist from that band. My fucking stomach hurts like fuck, goddamn that hot chocolate. Nobody died in that plane crash so it won't be remembered for long, I guess that is how it should be. Wonder if that Last.fm group gets their name from this song? Shitty group with members with shitty taste, but that is to be expected. Eyes so heavily weighted for the past few days, transition to zombie state has been completed it seems. To be so filled by just one girl, what a strange and scary feeling, always the threat of rejection looming around the dimly lit corner of conversation. 2nd straight rambling where Saetia rears its head, almost never hear these guys when random is on. Sometimes I can't help feeling numb either, but I disagree about the closed hands and open arms bit. You could hold a box or pieces of lumber or a passed out victim with open arms and closed hands, don't need hands for that. Static, always the static. Saw someone sit somewhere for 10 minutes and then move to another seat and sit there for the remainder of the time, wonder what that was about. Write in one section and read in the other? What's the difference? Told myself to listen to more Palatka, haven't gotten around to it yet, I guess this song counts as more though. Shaving is fucking pointless, it grows back in two fucking days it seems like. So bothersome, shaving and school and eating and walking and talking and texting. Things that must be done though if you want to not appear completely disconnected. Barely keeping eyes open, going under soon, hope to catch up on sleep over the weekend. Probably not though, papers to be written and methods to be studied. Ruination, always wondered what was with him talking in that accent sometimes during the live shows. So worried on Monday that the past had come to haunt me and relieved on Wednesday to see it was just a pretender, a poor man's version. Alesana, they played a free show somewhere in Texas last night along with A Skylit Drive and Enter Shikari...not sure if I would have gone if I lived in the area even though I'm sure I would have...looked like all the other kids that would've been there. Probably one of my favorite cover of a song, My Sharona (The Knack) by The Number Twelve Looks Like You. Can't wait to hear their new album. How dare she correct my sentence structure like that! Fucking comma splice my ass, semi colons are unattractive and I'm pretentious enough to use whatever punctuations I want when being interesting and fey. Cro-Mags, what motivated me to listen to these guys again? Oh, right, whatever. She left pretty early today, I did feel like shit at that point in time though, fucking cold air in the air. Mapped out some potential shots earlier, not sure if they're all good ideas that I will implement, we'll see next week I guess. Always guessing. Still can not believe things are unfolding just as I had imagined they would, it's like a fucking movie or something where everything just falls into place. But I've seen how those movies end...Goddamn, Gauge Means Nothing sounds so fucking japanese it is not even funny. Bells and twinkling and that anime sounding chick...that reminds me, was going to start on book one of the Fruits Basket manga Saturday. Might wait until next Saturday though.

Game Updates: 1.13.2009

Been a while since I've done one of these...

Neversoft is no longer working on the Tony Hawk games, a good thing if you ask me :/ The series should still continue on though and apparently with the next game, you won't play it using a controller, but instead use "incorporate accelerometer technology"
Funcom has slashed the Age of Conan servers from 49 to 18 in order "to maintain a healthy player community"
Congressman Joe Baca wants to pass a bill that would require a warning label on video games, much like on cigarettes :/
Recent releases worth looking at are:

The Lord Of The Rings: Conquest (360, DS, PC, PS3)
Mirror's Edge (PC)
Moon (DS)

For The Open-Minded Adventurer: new year edition

First FTOMA post of 2009, woo! Ok, it's nothing special but I thought I would mention it anyway. Time to stroke my e-penis by listing awesome bands I listened to last week :/

01. Anoice - Kyoto
02. Books Lie - Cowards Will Never Give To Get Rid Of You
03. Explosions In The Sky - Glittering Blackness
04. Usurp Synapse - Oh You Are Sick
05. Asra - Exploiting The Dead
06. The Kodan Armada - Cops
07. Pig Destroyer - Genital Grinder/Regurgitation Of Giblets
08. Bad Brains - Big Takeover
09. City of Caterpillar - Fucking Hero
10. Blessthefall - Black Rose Dying
11. Gunslikegirls - Intro to Obsession
12. The Number Twelve Looks Like You - Don't Get Blood On My Prada Shoes

Semester has gotten off to a great start, Photography being my favorite so far and Algebra being the least favorite because my teacher is about as interesting as a can of white paint. It's almost like torture having to sit through an hour of him teaching at 8 a.m. in a cold classroom. Possible distraction in that same class though...

Oh, I finally got twitpic to let me log in, fuck yea! Expect shitty cell phone pics of people I find amusing and anything else I fucking feel like putting on the intraweb! >:D

Ramblings: new edition

Doing something different with the rambling post, adding tags and links and all that jazz.

Unedited inner dialogue recorded during music enjoyment

Converge, almost too amazing for words. Couldn't possibly have enough of that banging in my head. Still smell like earlier today, good thing I guess. Wish I could break the walls that block my way, he sure sounds like someone famous. Stephen Dedalus is was and remains the coolest character ever always. Bloom was cool too, Humbert Humbert was nice too, wonder how the protagonist from Ada, or Ardor will be recepted. Accepted but rejected simultaneously, seems to happen on a daily basis now. I wonder if the guy from Lovesick is supposed to sound ill, like he has a cold. Maybe two or three songs I really enjoy from them, good band nonetheless. Cell phone constantly vibrating, four violent seizures and then death, momentarily. Should probably go play that kid's guitar sometime soon, I know he doesn't use it. Bob Tilton, another band that people probably think is a solo artist when they look through my iPod, love the songs where he is..."screaming" like the old 90's foufa style, like Merel. Yea, Merel, like them, fucking terrorizing and beautiful. What does tannhäuser mean anyway, I've heard it somewhere else before, Jeopardy maybe? Hard to retain that stuff sometimes. Should refrain from using retain, heard her say it a million times. Lucky to not have seen her yet, so far so good. Unfortunately, not sure about how to go about befriending that one person I shouldn't know. Forgot I had some rap on here, hardly gets any plays, guess random doesn't apply to genres, or race. That episode of Law & Order last night was racially racy, formula for success! Another no-five-star-having Lovesick song, why do I even bother with the stars, what good do they do? This semester seems surprisingly good so far, knew photography was going to be fun from the beginning. Joy Division's Autosuggestion suggesting I should get more Joy Division. Batteries, must get camera batteries for Nikon, Lithium 3Vx2, not at gas station, guy tried to sell me Energizer lithium AA's. Friday or Saturday? Saturday, do it all then and when everyone else is out so I can get by unnoticed like usual. That wine from last night must have had something in it, she possibly poisoned me to get even, or could be paranoia. Or both. SAYSHA, MUST GO NOW LOLZ popped into my head as soon as Billy came over the speakers. Taking my own advice and going off to a better place.
