December Update 02

Well, it has been way too gorram long since I posted an update, and since there’s no way I’m going to remember everything that has happened thusfar, I’m going to just… pick out little details as I go along, and sadly, they will be in no particular order.

I’ve seen a crap-tonne of movies. Here’s a few. 1408, Eastern Promises, Balls of Fury, Reno 911: Miami, Love Actually… and that would seem to be all I can remember. I bought Eastern Promises on DVD the day after seeing it, because it’s so hawtsome.

I watched all of Cowboy Bebop for the first time. It’s .. so good. Sadly, as usual, it had to end. Why does that always happen?

The Writer’s Strike is bothering me. I want more Ugly Betty, Chuck, Smallville, and a better half-season of Heroes.

Jeff (Powell River Jeff, not Sunshine Jeff, as I have been calling the Bursenator as of late.) is coming down to visit for few days. From the 28th ’til the 31st. Not long, but I plan on spending New Year’s Eve with either my parents or my friends… depending on who has better plans. ;)

I’ve started playing World of Warcraft again. Don’t know if I said that in my last post. I’m now level 59 and in Outland/Draenor. It’s.. pretty damn awesome. At least Terrokar forest is. I don’t like Hellfire Peninsula in the slightest. But as of writing, Christa’s hunter Marallel is at level 56, and she’ll be killing Infernals and Blood Frenzied Orcs with me in no time. Apparently running the Hellfire Ramparts yields items as good as those of Molten Core, so… I’m looking forward to that.

When I was in Azeroth, all of my gear matched. Seriously, everything had a colour scheme, and it all matched my character’s complexion and hair colour perfectly. Since hitting Outland, however… it’s not the same. My vest is .. not red anymore. It still looks good, mind you, but it’s not great. Sadly, the next gear I have to replace is my pants, and the only pants I can get from a quest are Whorepants.

Anyway, that’s enough WoWtalk for now. I’ll say one last thing, though. I’ve been playing constantly for so long since I started playing again that my bones hurt, man. My BONES. Furthermore, my right ear is ringing from sitting beside my computer for so long, so.. I’m taking a break from using Mjolnir for the week, which’ll be easier since Jeff is here… though he’ll probably want to play Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, which I got for the PC.

Speaking of games I got.. here’s my Christmas haul as of yet:

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (PC)
Unreal Tournament 3 Collector’s Edition (PC)
Eastern Promises
A $20 iTunes Gift Card
… some other stuff I can’t remember.
Wii
Wii Points Card
That’s it.

Oh, speaking of the Wii, I had to send it back to Nintendo, as it overheated while in WiiConnect24 mode, and screwed itself over. Great, eh?

When I get it back, I’m turning WiiConnect24 off, and maybe finding a new place to put it.

I don’t know if I mentioned it, but I bought Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and it’s awesome. Sunshine Jeff got it too, for Christmas. Now we just need to wait for Quin and Ben to catch up.

Apparently Ty is playing WoW now, and I lied about stopping the WoW talk. He’s playing on either the Alliance or the Horde… not sure yet. If Ben has his way (as Ben is the only one of us not playing on the Horde) he’ll make Ty play with him, but that’s just wack, man. That’s just wack.

Okay, what else..

I’m tired. For some reason I can’t get to bed ‘fore 2 AM these days, and I even stayed up ’til 4 AM yesterday. I was at Quin’s ’til 3:06, though, so… there you go.

Honestly, I can’t think of anything else to post right now, so I guess I’ll end this post with a link to my Character Profile on the WoW Armory. Though for the record, it’s kind of bugged. I show up twice on the list, once in Super Friends, and once in Bladefist. I’m not in Bladefist anymore, but my profile (even if you click on the Super Friends link) shows me as being in Bladefist. Just thought you should know I’m not.

…

Bladefist sucks.

Armory!.

P.S. Mass Effect blows. I wish I hadn’t decided to buy it without trying it first. BioWare has never screwed up… ’til now.

December Update 01

Haven’t made a post in a while, as I’ve been as busy as a bee … whatever that means. Anyway, I was playing Super Mario Galaxy every day ’til a few days ago. I still play it, I’ve just gotten kind of frustrated with one of the galaxies, so I haven’t proceeded any further yet. Other than that, here’s a few things I’ve been up to.

I bought Mass Effect and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. One for the 360, one for the PC (via Steam). Can you guess which? Here’s a tricky one — can you guess how I paid for them? I’ve been fixing a lot of computers lately, for Michael, Robbie, and a few other people. As such I’ve made some money, or rather, I made some money, as I’ve already spent all of it.

I bought Mass Effect on Saturday the 1st, and have been playing it non-stop ever since (though technically, I do stop, every two hours, just so my 360 doesn’t overheat and explode. I play in 2 hour sessions, usually no longer, occasionally less) and am about 8 hours into the game. I’ve just left the Citadel, and am currently surveying planets in the Artemis Tau system. It’s real fun. Having read Mass Effect: Revelation beforehand seems to have made my transition into the world of Mass Effect a little easier, as I know the back story to quite a few things.

I bought Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare just a few hours ago on Steam, and I haven’t even finished downloading it yet. I was in the beta, though, so I already know I like the multiplayer aspect of play. I’ll just have to see how it works with a keyboard and mouse. I know I like the singleplayer, as I tried out the demo a while back, and kept playing it ’til I beat it on Veteran. I’m really looking forward to playing it tomorrow after school, though I’ll have to decide which is the most important to me: Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties, Super Mario Galaxy, Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, or some good old-fashioned Team Fortress 2 with a few friends.

I finally visited the recently opened “Sechelt Aquatic Centre”, and it’s just awesome. I love the pools there, as well as the sauna, steam room, and hot tub. I even tried my first water slide, and it was pretty cool. The one thing I don’t like, however, is the fact that the chlorine just seems to stay with you, after you leave. I’ve had three showers since the last time I was there, and my hair is still all… gross from it, and when I have a shower, I can smell more chlorine coming off of me. Furthermore, clothes I put through the washing machine and dryer still smell like chlorine! Usually the soap/fabric softener I use gets rid of any former scent the clothing might’ve had, but this stuff just won’t die. Add that to the fact that my friends want to go swimming multiple times a week (some want to go every day) and I’ll never be rid of the damn stuff. I can deal with my swimming clothes smelling like it, as I use them just for swimming, or as laundry clothes, or pajamas when I’m not out, but I’ll need to find a way to wash my hair after I get out. The showers there aren’t very strong at all, and I don’t think even a whole bucket of soap would be helpful enough to get it all off. I’ll need to start having a shower as soon as I get home, I suppose.

Anyway, the week has been great, I got more games, worked more, played more, and got to swim in a pool again. Once I figure out a solution to the chlorine situation, I’ll be as good as gold.
