I Return With News Friends

Posted by Iron Voltex , in Life, My Little Pony, Video Games Mar 18 2012 · 23 views

So after returning from Jamaica, here's the white stuff in between the cookies:
  • I am burnt on my shoulders despite layering them with sunscreen relentlessly. Stupid shoulders.
  • Stupid sock tan.
  • I missed that MLP episode about time and don't even know what it's called anymore. Time to go look it up!
  • I do not enjoy the thought of how bad I'm going to be at TF2 when I return.
  • I saw the 2011 Muppets movie on the airplane today woot.
  • Woot I'm home.
  • Oh wait I'm home and it's stuffy and I don't get to hang out with friends all the time now darn it.
  • My cat is SO FREAKING FAT compared to the cats I was feeding in Jamaica.

My Parents Suck

Posted by Iron Voltex , in Life Mar 07 2012 · 30 views

Rant/whine entry woot.

Seeing as this will be the farthest away I've ever been from anyone in my family, it's comforting to have both of my parents screaming at me the last two nights. I "run away" too much when I'm going to find stuff they want or stuff I need (like sandals, which it looks like I'll have to spend my own cash on while we're in Jamaica), my asking to take Oreos with me is "absurd" when we have an extra package (but spending MORE money to buy Pringles we didn't already have makes sense), I'm ultra lazy because I didn't take our recycling out (thanks for telling me I had to do it, and thanks for pretty much summing it up by saying you're too lazy to, ugh), I asked if I could sleep until 7 since I was told I could be at the drop zone for 830 and my dad blows a fuse saying he wants me there at 8. So that's me being lazy x2, yet he didn't feel the need to tell me that the email he received ALSO said the bus was going to be there earlier and that was WHY we need to be there earlier- and he also started saying I wanted to be there at 9, which in itself is stupid since that's when we're picked up.

So I yelled back at my dad for the first time ever, and felt like I was dreaming since, it was like, the first time ever. He did NOT like being yelled back at. But I'd had enough. They have both been ###### at me the last two days and I haven't gotten reasons why (or when I do it's because "I don't do enough" and "I ask too many questions" and "I always argue about EVERY SINGLE DETAIL"), and I had enough.

WONDERFUL note to go out on. SOMEBODY isn't going to be emailing or phonining their parents for the next ten days. Ugh.

No doubt there's stuff behind the scenes I don't know about, but for the love of Mata-Nui don't take it out on me right before I leave, geez.

EDIT: And I like, quadruple posted this entry to boot. Internet Explorer 9 sucks, and I hate the fact that my computer automatically "upgraded" to it.

11:01 PM - ibrow: I'll think of a really good one to end it off
11:01 PM - Psychoshy (2): Okay.
11:01 PM - ibrow: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Hack
11:01 PM - ibrow: actually, you know what?
11:01 PM - ibrow: all of the zelda titles would be good for that - Adventure of Hack, A Hack to the Past, Hack's Awakening, Oracle of Hack, Ocarina of Hack, Majora's Hack, The Hack Waker, Twilight Hacker, The Minish Hack, Phantom Hack, Spirit Hack, Skyward Hack.



There's a billion more where those came from. :evilgrin:

40 Days, 40 Games

Posted by Iron Voltex , in Life, Video Games Feb 24 2012 · 16 views

So I was gonna do this thing where I would play a different game for one hour each day for 40 days, and I wouldn't be able to play any other video games except from the one scheduled for that day.

But then I remembered that I'm going to Jamaica for like 8 days, have cadets that kill Mondays, that Thursdays are the worst creation known to man, and that I'd have to give up Team Fortress 2 for at least a good 39 days.

So I decided not to.

Immunization Shots

Posted by Iron Voltex , in Life Feb 23 2012 · 23 views

I going down to Jamaica on a mission trip during the March Break, so I had to get some shots today. I managed to get out of two or three (thank goodness), but I still had to get Typhoid, Hep. A part 1, and the standard flu shot.

Hep A and flu(I think) in the left, Typhoid(?) in the right.

Suffice it to say that my left arm is perfectly fine while my right arm is in typical pain. Why can things not be reversed...

The Hunger Games

Posted by Iron Voltex , in Life, Movies Feb 22 2012 · 46 views

Can't wait to see the movie; this one and The Hobbit are my big two for the year, no questions asked.

Actually, I should dedicate an entry to The Hobbit. Expect one tomorrow or the next day. But onto The Hunger Games!

I entered a scholastic contest where we had to send in the first five pages of a story that takes place in the future. The grand prize is an all expenses paid trip to the premiere of The Hunger Games film, and a box set of the books (which I am lacking in). So I'm hoping I win, though I'll still see the movie if I don't.

My entry was about a kid who lives in a giant concentration camp in the time period of 2040-2060, where the city of Little Rock is currently located. But it's totally different in the sotry. Also, in the story the world has been divided into three by the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, and Japan after an Axis victory in World War 2.

So yeah.

Nintendo Power Awards 2011

Posted by Iron Voltex , in Life, Video Games Feb 22 2012 · 25 views

I was extremely disappointed with both the editors and the readers this time around; especially the readers, because Rayman Origins received not one single award from them.

Xenoblade Chronicles better get Wii game of the year for this year, or someone is being hunted down. I'm just saying. Anyway, now I'll share my choices for each of the awards (from the choices that were available):

Wii Game of the Year - Rayman Origins
3DS Game of the Year - Mario Kart 7 (would've chosen Star Fox 64 3D, but...)
DS Game of the Year - Solatorobo: Red the Hunter
Downloadable Game of the Year - The Legend of ZeldA: Four Swords Anniversary Edition

Best Wii Graphics - Rayman Origins
Best 3DS Graphics - Star Fox 64 3D
Best DS Graphics - Radiant Historia

Best Original Soundtrack - Rayman Origins
Best RPG/Strategy - Radiant Historia
Best Adventure Game - Solatorobo: Red the Hunter
Best Racing Game - Mario Kart 7
Best Sports Game - Don't Care
Best Shooter/Action Game - Star Fox 64 3D
Best Fighting Game - Don't Care
Best Multiplayer - Rayman Origins
Best Platformer - Rayman Origins

Best New Character - Don't Care
Best Story/Writing - Radiant Historia
Best New Idea - Playing as and interacting with shadows (Lost in Shadow, Wii)
Best Retro Revival - Star Fox 64 3D
Best Stereoscopic 3D - Star Fox 64 3D

As said above, had they given the option I would've voted for Star Fox 64 3D to take home the 3DS game of the year award.

Now that I've recounted 2011, I feel like I want to once again mention the games I'm currently looking forward to in the year ahead.

And when that day comes, I will finally own all all six Toa Mata in (hopefully) perfect condition, as well as the Toa Nuva!
Someday.
