METROID!

This was posted on Lego Cuusoo's facebook page.   It is glorious.   Please support it. I want to see if this even can get through and made into a set.

You have got to be kidding me.

After slaving over that horrid essay for what felt like ages, turning it in with a mishap. and feeling relatively okay with what I've accomplished, I get a...   Wait for it...   58%!!!!!!   The essay I turned in that was riddled with errors that was still basically a rough draft was a 50%. Something is clearly wrong here.   There where apparently tons of errors, (None of which where marked) and it didn't use the PIE paragraph format.

Writing. Again

I'm posting a lot about this class. Anyway... During my computer class I submitted a nearly final draft of my essay, Just incase I forgot to do it later. Than, just now I make a few edits to it go to turn it in and NOPE. Can't do that. I'm still a good hour and a half away from the due date, but no, I can't resubmit. There is nothing that notifies me of this. And every other part of this essay was able to be resubmitted. But not the final part. Nope. This one is a solid 200 points, and heaven fo

Smash Bros Direct

I'm seriously ticked that Samus and Zelda No longer switch forms.   It probably won't end up being a huge deal, but I liked that feature.   Also they're playing the Kid Icarus guitar theme (The name is escaping me) Which is fantastic. I'll update if there's anything else to say.

Halo 4 matchmaking

I don't know why it insists on matching me with people that are just going to destroy me... At least when they're lower level I have a chance. But when the next lowest level is above 80 something has gone horribly wrong.   Maybe I shouldn't be playing shooters...   Also Airmech: Arena got announced yesterday which means I can play Airmech on the 360 which means I will have even more incentive to not do homework.

That was stupid: Part 2

I was right. That was a terrible Idea. Now instead of sitting in the seat at the table I sit at, she sat a different table.   Again, this is why I don't talk to people.

Writing...

I'm doing peer reviews and am just kinda staring at the screen with no idea what to say.   1. I'm in no position to give someone else writing advice, I can't even figure out my own essay. 2. The questions cover the most hard to pin down and pointless parts of the essay. 3. The advice my friend gave me of her own accord is significantly more helpful than this could hope to be. 4. Most of the stuff isn't going to be included until the final draft anyway.   Honestly the stuff seems to be there so

Wait. Run that by me again

http://store.steampowered.com/app/277430/   Okay. So um... I did not expect that to happen. I assumed they where going to keep it exclusive as always. (But apparently people really dislike this game.)   But, of course, the multiplayer is exclusive to the 360 and one.   But I never expected to see Halo anything on steam...

That was stupid

So there's a cute girl in my Chem class. I just gave her my phone number.   I've never done that before and now I'm freaking out.   I think this is the reason I never talk to anybody.   Excuse me while I curl up in a ball and hate myself.

April fools

So far I've seen jokes involving ranch flavored Eegees, a Kale shake, Half Life 3, The return of firefly, and whatever BZP is doing.   Some of those are just cruel. I wonder what else will happen.

What the actual heck

I was at bookmans to look for a book. As shocking as that sounds. And I wandered into the video game section and grabbed a copy of Halo 2. Everything was still in the case from when it was released, including a two month trial of the online xbox srvice. My brand new 360 came with a month of gold. I don't even understand how that's supposed to make sense.

My impression of the 360

Before I state what I think I want to make it clear that I do like my 360. It just has some really dumb problems.   So I got an Xbox 360 for christmas, When I turned it on I was pretty much blown away by the graphics. (My other two consoles are a wii and a PS2, as well as my graphically challenged computers.) But it didn't take long to figure out that the thing was designed to have the paid service along with it. I'm all for having good online features, but some of it is being pushed to far to m

Book festival

So there's a book festival in a college near me and my favorite author (D. J. MacHale) is going to be there. I can't even explain how ecstatic I am.

My job finding adventure

So I got a call from sonic asking me for an interview. Shortly after the interview I was notified that I did indeed get the job and I needed to fill out some paperwork to finish the process.   This was something like a month ago. I've called them several times, filled out another application, called some more and still gotten nothing.   But apparently they're low on available workers because they've done more interviews and those people are now being called in to fill out the paperwork.   So ye

I just ordered surge.

I have everyone of him except of the brain attack one. Did I make a good purchase? I also ordered a mini jeticon. (PURPLE!)

Whoops

So apparently Raptr is a terrible way of manually tracking games. I tried to manually add 20 hours of Super Mario 3D Land and it didn't register so I continued adding. So now it's going to add up to some unholy and inaccurate number. Because apparently it takes that amount of time to add that time for some reason... Yeah. But other than that it's a nice way of keeping track of things.

1,000!

I just noticed I have over a thousand posts. (Though if we're getting technical this is actually the second time this has happened. Do I get an achievement for that or something?) So, yeah.

More writing woes

So our first essay was due a little less than a week ago. There was a peer review thing we had to do, but it was open for a solid two days, one of which I had no realistic access to a computer or internet. And than we get the online essays graded. The teacher used question marks to comment on my essay. After the final due date. (Which was referred to as the first draft and the fact that it was the final thing might have been mentioned once. Maybe.)   And than before class one day she informs us

Today in computer class

We learned how to be paranoid on the internet.   Such highlights include: Don't use online banking Don't use social networking Always pay with cash Don't have online e-mail If you do use online banking, make sure it's from a desktop with a wired connection to a secure router Don't have a smart phone Don't do online transactions Google ads are evil   And my favorite: Use a mac, as they are obviously superior to windows based computers (This one gets thrown around a lot in the class) A

I did the quiz thing

You Are A:     Neutral Good Human Cleric (3rd Level)   Ability Scores: Strength- 8 Dexterity- 8 Constitution- 15 Intelligence- 13 Wisdom- 13 Charisma- 9   Alignment: Neutral Good- A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good ca

More nerdery.

I got a sonic screwdriver!   Sonic by bumblecade, on Flickr   I wanted to have Ratchet holding it, but he needs a new paintjob... It's a flashlight and it's insanely bright. I think it's also a bit smaller than scale, but I'm not positive on tat.   I still want 11's extending one. And apparently nerdery is an official word to Chrome.

Game console design flaw

So... Wait. The 360 Doesn't have bluetooth but they sell a bluetooth headset for it? *reads description* Oh, so it's a wireless headset with bluetooth built in.   So rather than Building a console with bluetooth like Sony and even Nintendo, they do that. Awesome.

Nerd humor

I showed my sisters freind a picture of what appeared to be a doctor who corn maze.   Me: look at this! Freind: wow! That's amazing! Me: Ha! aMAZEing?   And than we high fived and laughed and nobody else gets and and it was awesome.

Writing, this is not

I'm losing it. I'm finally losing it. I thought college would be better. But it's not, it's really not. I'm overloaded with homework and I have to submit an essay in less than three hours and I'm just sitting here staring at a blank screen watching the little blinky thingy blink. I just can't do it. I can't. We have to write a 400 word paper on something I could describe within less than a paragraph. And my writing class is worse. I liked the hero's myth. Honestly, I did. But I just can't do thi

Classes

So I have 2 essays due tomorrow. One should be fairly easy as it's just applying the hero's myth to a movie. The other one I have to do significant research into my choice career. (Guess it's time to figure that out...) Granted, if I had checked the syllabus I would have seen it so it really is my fault I'm in this situation.   But in class it seemed to be something of an afterthought, and we didn't go over it at all. and last thursday our assignment was taking screenshots on the internet. I'm
