Since there is no animated GIF that expresses my feelings that could possibly fit under 500kb, please fill this blog space with joyous screaming of your choosing.
The bad news: a lot of the pieces are just variations of a few different major motifs. The good news: said major motifs are really, really good. Now back to listening.
And the new semester is underway. My classes all interest me (computer engineering, MATLAB, C++, algorithms, Japanese, neurobiology in communication), but it looks like I'm going to be busy, especially since I've got a big opportunity coming up next month I've got to prepare for. (This has been your cool story of the day.)
Just announced. Go watch the trailer, I'll wait. So. Yeah. The good: Leon is back! The bad: GEARS OF RESIDENT EVIL 6: BROVERLOAD Putting this on the 'wait-and-see' list. PS: This is just me being snobbish, I enjoyed RE5 a lot even though that was way more action than horror.
Thought I'd go ahead and round up the games I'm looking forward to this year, because I'm procrastinating because I feel like getting a hold on them. So, in order of North American release: Resident Evil Revelations [3DS/February 7th] I'm a big fan of the RE series, and when I heard there'd be a full entry on the 3DS I was hyped. Took them a while to make it (it was announced way back at E3 2010), but the demo they released was pretty darn good, and I'm hearing a lot of good reviews. My big
Well, that's that then. 9 years ago (if we skip the leap days), I registered with a little Bionicle site called BZPower. 8 years ago, I left. 1 year ago - plus a few days - I came back. Bionicle had gotten the axe by then - no more sets, not many more serials. Why'd I leave? Honestly, part of it is that I thought I was too grown-up for Bionicle. I was a middle schooler - I didn't want some boring, the-heroes-always-win stuff for kids! I wanted something darker and edgier, like Sonic Ad
Somehow I actually made 1500 hits on my signature within 24 hours. Looks like I'm going to need to find a different randomizer (or just be boring and stick to one banner, but where's the fun in that?) I am enjoying my new avatar, though. Greg's derp face was nice, but I think young Ray's constant panic better suits my mood around here most days, especially if I've been writing.
Shepard: What do you think about the people we're picking up? Joker: Well, about the ones you went out with last... Now, I didn't pay much attention in Sunday school, but I'm pretty sure they said something about watching out for guys who can shoot fire from their hands. Just putting that out there. Gali's great, but are we sure Tali hasn't got a long-lost sister or something? 'Cause I mean with the mask and the name and the switching between "nice" and "unholy terror", I'm seeing a resembl
Step one: open mouth. Step two: insert foot. In all seriousness, I've really been surprised by the positive reaction to "Fractures". It's kind of embarassing to get all these compliments when I know not only could I have improved it quite a bit, but that there are better writers on BZP (it's just that some of them don't write fanfiction).
So in yesterday's entry I said I probably wasn't going to finish up my entry for COTSSC2. I am glad to prove myself wrong! You can check it out here if you're so inclined - it's ostensibly a mystery, though I have to admit I wasn't pushing it particularly hard. There are some pieces here and there that I feel could be improved, but there's always pieces that could be improved. (If you want to take the long view of things, of course, everything could be improved.) In other good news, Sherloc
Something extremely disturbing happened to a close friend of mine, and I'm still a little shaken. This is going to be a difficult few weeks, but all I can really do is put faith in modern medicine and his/her friends and family. Without going into further details, suffice to say I've learned a rather important lesson about one's lifestyle, and all I can say is I'm thankful I have the personality I do, which should help me avoid ever coming close to something similar. So that this isn't a co
It is getting so dark that I can scarcely go on writing; and my brush is all worn out. Yet I should like to add a few things before I end. I wrote these notes at home, when I had a good deal of time to myself and thought no one would notice what I was doing. Everything that I have seen and felt is included. Since much of it might appear malicious and even harmful to other people, I was careful to keep my book hidden. But now it has become public, which is the last thing I expected... W
Hello, folks! At some point today I actually realized that maybe one of these blog things would be useful. No idea how much I'm going to use it yet, but hey. Expect this blog to be updated intermittently rather than on any real schedule; possible things to be posted here include little updates on stuff I'm interested in that don't warrant a whole topic and bits and pieces of writing that may or may not be expanded into something bigger. As for the future, a friend of mine gave me an absolut
