A Lizard of Unusual Size

Well, I've been doing well for myself this summer, I think! I love my job very much, and it's pretty much the only reason I leave the house (lucky for me, I've been getting more hours :D). Still playing Left 4 Dead insanely much, but today I got ~THE 'WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PROVE?' ACHIEVEMENT~ for beating all campaigns on expert. I feel so immensely badass, and it was only 35G. Whatever. Four more achievements to go, then I will be done with that game forever. Matthew's gonna be so pissed that I did it without him, it will be glorious.

But anyway, back to stuff. Today I got 'borrowed' to a store in Scottsdale, which was a good 20 minutes from my house, but that was ok I guess. Scottsdale is a really snooty town, and the mall this EB Games was in was EFFING HUGE and I got lost, but I had a fantastic time. It was supposed to be me and a kid named Chris on shift, but Frank stayed after his shift because we were having so much fun. I think we had 3 customers, and I probably did a half hour's worth of work. In five hours. It was soooo much different than my normal store - we're workaholics there.

It was so laid back though! And my god, my stomach hurt from laughing once I got home. We chatted about video games and Family Guy mostly, but man those guys were funny. We're planning to have a party where we just play MGS4 all night, which I am IMMENSELY excited about, since I've been dying to play that game forever. My mom is hesitant to let me chill with some random dudes, but they seem really harmless. In fact, I felt a little ostracized for my age. Chris is 19 and Frank is 21, so they were like "oh shit you're a little kid!" and were acting like they couldn't hang out with me because I was 16. idc, yo.

What else is going on? Not much. I bought CoD4:MW a few days ago, but I think I'll play it after I'm finished being obsessed with L4D achievements. I also need to read my summer reading books but Jane Eyre is all bleh and I am preoccupied with gaming.

I've been playing so much Left 4 Dead that when I'm quiet, I can vaguely hear a witch crying inside my head.

I GOT THE JOB AT GAMESTOP! I know a lot of people say it sucks to work there, but I'm really happy. I have a nice manager (as far as I can tell), and I'm going to try really hard to provide better customer service than a lot of Gamestop employees I've heard about. Ooh, I can't wait for my first day. :D Anyway -


Check out what I found at Lee Lee's yesterday! I don't know, maybe you guys see them everywhere or something, but I had never seen one in person before. So, I bought one! Unfortunately I took a bite and lost my appetite for the rest of the day. Clearly Snake's taste for this grapefruit-margarine-almond-potato-milk-egg powder crap was swayed from eating raw animals.


Probably most of you have seen this already, but here's the best trailer for the SH1 reimagining I've seen:



I think it looks CREEPY AS HELL and I can't wait to play it. Apparently the SH fandom is ripping itself to shreds because half hates it to death and half is interested. I personally think all the crazy differences make it more interesting.

I have all the achievements for RE5 now, except for the War Hero one but uh, no :/

HEY

I got XBOX live and my gamertag is breadraptor. FRIEND ME :D especially if you have RE5 because that's the only game I have. YEAH

I also scored a job interview with Gamestop today, so I'm really happy I'll have a job again. Hopefully.

wow am I inactive or what

Hey! I have interesting things going on now!

I just took my AP world history exam. It was much easier than the practice exam my teacher gave us, so that was a relief. I dunno, I actually think I did alright, but I don't wanna jinx myself by being confident. Maybe I got a three, that would be awesome! After that, I'm so ready for school to be over. But we still have five days left. D: I'm going crazy.

Other thing: it's summer in Arizona and our community pool is under construction! WTF! I need to swim raradsgewhg.

Another thing: I'm hoping to get XBOX live soon, if I keep pestering father to get wireless interwebs. Anyone wanna give me their XBOX name so we can do stuff this summer? All I have for multiplayer so far is RE5 but that will change eventually. :D

Last thing: I love Metal Gear Solid 3. Why didn't I play it earlier? I like it even better than the first two. And I cried. ♥

Oh one more: quit at dairy queen, applied in other places. We'll see how that goes. :O

I've been playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Why is it fun? I don't get it, but I can't stop. :(

A gamestop near me is hiring, so I applied. From what I've heard they treat their workers poorly, but at least I'll be near what I love, right? And it won't be Dairy Queen. That's the big thing.

I kind of feel like roleplaying but I dunno where to go. I don't want someplace hugehuge :( I haven't RP'd in so long, I think I need to start out slow. But my Reno muse has been active lately, and I kind of want to RP Phoenix Wright sometime as well, out of curiosity.

Last time I tried Phoenix was at kingdom crack, and while that was a laugh I dunno how I'd do with him seriously. I'd still like to try out Kyle Hyde somewhere, but I'm really bad at those serious types.

I started a blog, it's http://www.yoshimyboy.blogspot.com . I'm Deadly Neurotoxin. It's kind of for piano and video game stuff. idk.

But yeah. Roleplay comm recommendations?

~my red XBOX came~!

first opinion of RE5: dislike. but we'll see if it gets any better. the game controls are pretty intuitive aside from my AI partner wandering off into a room and just standing there while I'm waiting for her to get in the damn elevator. I'm just not sure I like zombie games, aside from Dead Rising, which is awesome. I feel like RE takes itself too seriously. I mean, I've played Code Veronica before, but that seemed to have a better plot.

But I'm only on the first boss. (Just that it's being a terrible pain in the ass. Of course just when I'm learning to SHOOT AT IT AND IT'LL GO AWAY, they give me a boss that I have to lure into a fire room or someshit.)

So! I just played Silent Hill: Homecoming after renting it for a few days. It's the first Silent Hill game I've played since I'm a huge pussy, but I finished it, so I'm very proud of myself. Well . . . finished it kind of. I couldn't beat the final boss because I went in ill-prepared D: Five rifle bullets and the knife was all I had on me, because I wasn't thinking this was the LAST boss. So I pumped all the final dudes full of ammo then went in all AW CRAP. I tried three times, but fighting it with a knife is so terribly boring :( so I watched the ending we would have gotten on youtube and called it a day. (this was after playing it for nine hours straight. gave me some weird dreams, I tell you.)

I'm really happy I've finally played a SH game, since I've read so goddamn much about them that I could probably write a novel without having played any of them (besides watching an LP of 0rigins). I liked Homecoming, though! Besides the sewers, they were terrible. I haven't heard many fan reviews besides on SA, but they all seemed pretty positive. I really grew attached to Alex throughout, even with his weird monkey faces.

Rented the new Prince of Persia, as well. It sucks. Pretty graphics, nice new tricks, but the snark makes me want to shove barbed wire in my skull. I hate the prince AND his stupid bitch that clings onto him like a whore even though she quite clearly has the same jumping-climbing skills that the prince does. Also I don't think it's right that a brand new game should still be able to pull the whole artificial-lengthening deal, making me go through a level once to get to the boss, then again to collect all the shiny things. Boring.

lol



i thought of this in the shower today and did a snort laugh, so i decided to share. it's actually a glitch. can you imagine?

i love the pit, lolz.

when you take a male main character and change him into a "smokin' hot" chick for the plot's sake, whatever. however, when you change his name for this role, you've just created a MARY SUE~

also, devil may cry/sonic the hedgehog crossover is probably the best thing i've ever heard of. "when dante and vergil end up in sonic's world its up to them and sonic's gang to save the world from a new menance"

In other news, I won a gamebridge for way less than I expected! I think it was fate. Anyway, it should arrive Wednesday or Thursday, and I'm so excited to make an LP! Faythe and I did a testrun of Shadow of Destiny yesterday, which I'm glad we did, 'cause I freakin' forgot everything about it since I played it a year ago.

Well. I dunno what that says about me.

My uncle got me all these things you can attach to your Wiimote for WiiSports and stuff, but they're the ghetto versions of the ones you see at the store. Like, itty-bitty attachments. It's kind of silly.

Lately all I feel like doing is playing Apollo Justice. I feel like I've gotten dumber since I played the last game. I use walkthroughs a lot more now. Mrr . . . bedtime :3

So I just started playing Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (SLOWPOKE). I was wondering if anyone has any fics or fanart of hobo!Phoenix bottoming with somebody? It's just a thing with me, I love seeing guys that would normally top, bottom. ._. *mildly ashamed* BUT YEAH, if anyone can deliver? That'd be really cool.

I really love the game. The new techniques are fun. :)

I got Prince of Persia: Warrior Within today, too. I don't like it. The electric guitar in the background bugs the shit out of me, and even if the fighting is more fun, I still got frustrated enough with it to turn it off after telling off that stupid whore girl.

Also I just found Dragonball Z/Phoenix Wright crossover fic. Nothing is sacred.
