Everyone with a Griefer-free Minecraft server, go spend a day or two's worth of play time and build your server a really good, creative Spleef arena. It makes the whole thing much more fun when there's more to do than mine and build things all the time.
So, it would seem the heavy risks aren't the only thing separating me from the prize.
On the bright side, both Wine and Crossover(Another emulator I bought. It works more, but Wine's a lot more user-friendly, so it's the backup) worked for installing ME2!
However I'm getting an error with both of them. The same error, I have a screenshot of both, but here's Wine's screenshot since it was taken first, and as such, since it's the same error, was the one uploaded.
Since both emulators
A word to the wise - Even if it doesn't seem like it could mess anything up that seriously, make sure you know what you're doing when you dig through and mess with the files in your game.
I think I may have screwed up my ME1 install while trying to manually transfer the save, so I'm reinstalling it and hoping that won't remove the complete save. Installing ME2 and testing it out with GenericShep beforehand though to make sure it is indeed finally working. On the bright side though, if I do en
But the priiize. =3
Yes, I decided that, since it was all but guaranteed now to be there since you don't sell out of a full shipment of year-old games in one day, to drive down highway number to the Gamestop on streetname avenue and finally get a working copy of Mass Effect 2. Not sure if I can move the save from ME1 in with Wine's file system, but I can probably work something out.
But yes, hopefully unlike my ill-fated used copy, this'll work!
"Hey local Gamestop, the website said you have some copies of ME2 for the PC in stock, can I have one?"
"Nobody was buying them, so we sent them over to the one on streetname avenue down highway number."
Thus, the hunt continues.
I hate being sick.
I especially hate when the side-effects of the medicine I'm taking because I'm sick impede me from doing anything fun most of the day.
Hopefully this'll be done by the end of the week - I've already missed my first language and music classes of the week, as well as a semi-annual review thing, and I'm probably going to end up missing my history and second language classes tomorrow. Which sucks, because I like my language class, and I love my history class.
So, I just realized that Victini is listed as a "victory" pokemon.
As we all know, victory is a synonym for winning.
I swear, the urge to name one of my Pokemon "Charlie Sheen" gets stronger each day...
And as such, I assume the release roster is finalized, and so I'm forced to ask.
NINTENDO
Y U NO GIVE 3DS RELEASE FIRST-PARTY SUPPORT
Seriously, hopefully the reviews will correct me, but of the three release-day Nintendo games, two seem like arcade games, and the other is Nintendogs, which is adorable, but reminds me of the Tamagotchi toys - They seem cool, and they're cute, but they're not a lot of fun. Why withhold the Ocarina or Star Fox remakes? I don't know this since I don't know
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do da da da da do do do da do do do do do da da!
DA-DA-DA-DAAAAA!
(Giant image warning)
Meant to post this awesome piece of artwork which I make no claims to on the occasion it was made for - LoZ's 25th anniversary, but the server was down and such. On that note, does anyone know if a 25th anniversary pack a la the Mario anniversary set is in the works for LoZ?
Screw the formula, I have money! Well, I did, but then I spent it on an inordinate number of balls!
44 balls.
Nearly all my money.
About a half hour of time.
All for this little guy:
Time to see if it was worthwhile.
Immense spoilers below, if you haven't seen the movie, consider yourself warned.
Right then, am I the only one who, looking it over, thinks it's an easy case to make that Leonardo DiCaprio was in the real-world, or at the least, the dream was the better world, in the end?
Given how much Mal seemed to love him - Albeit in her own demented, psychotic, suicidal, mentally tortured way - you'd assume she'd wake him up when she woke up if it was indeed a dream she committed suicide in. Especiall
In a lot of ways, I feel like this is what Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and Heart Gold/Soul Silver were test runs for. The first set tested the waters on the DS, and a lot of the ideas from the Gold/Silver remakes are still here, but moreso polished and refined. The protagonists are older now, not ten-year olds as they've traditionally been. There are also three this time, so you'll be facing both of the other starters, regardless of who you choose.
The 3D environments are back, and, as said, more
Yup, definitely a line of ten-year olds with their mothers. And hey, there's Kevin, the awesomely awesome manager of the local Gamestop! There were even more people behind me, too.
This is actually the first time I stood in line for a specific game or console since the Wii came out. But it's all worth it in the end, because hey, look what I got!
DS is on, Black Or White is playing on-loop, first impressions coming soon.
The town/city-level elected officials allegedly coming together to determine how to serve their people on a state level.
We have dismissed that claim.
If I were just two or three months and got my permit as such, I'd have a license, could get into a car and drive to the only game store in the area that sells physical copies of Mass Effect 2(Everyone else has gone to downloads as far as what's nearby), which happens to be a far enough distance that negotiation of favours and such - Some
Remember that real-life 60-foot Gundam Japan built?
Well, China built one.
Japan being Japan, with needlessly awesome and complex and past-modern technology, probably has it three parts from working, and China, being the producers of every product that says "Made in China" and being a communist state, which, if my understanding is correct, means all the money froms ed products goes right to the state, probably already has it functional.
If these two are ever on opposing sides of a w
Wow these controls are clunky as they are now. Unfortunately the options menu doesn't work so I can't adjust them. Whether this is a fault in the MGS PC port or it's because I'm using an emulator, I'm not sure, but it's still fun, and the more I play it, the more I can hear the likelihood of finishing the album by the 28th slipping. Revolver Ocelot shooting me while I'm trying to heal got me annoyed enough to leave for a bit though, hopefully I can get some work done now.
So, oftentimes when I can't think of anything to say in a non-serious conversation, I'll often counter a point with "Or is it?"/"Or are you?"
I just realized how much better a counter this suddenly becomes if I start carrying an Inception totem top around with me and pull it out each time I say that.
Also recording diary entry incoming!
I know I did when it came out, since being a big Jeff Beck fan I got it and reviewed it release day, but I feel like plugging it again since I'm still annoyed it got snubbed for the best rock album Grammy.
Hot guitaring, female singers spanning the range from sweet and beautiful to an awesome Joplinesque gravel, and orchestral accompaniment. If you like music, you'll like this album.
It also makes me want to do something with guitar and orchestra sometime in the future, it seems like a
I was a bit disappointed by this movie. It was a decent thriller movie, but it had huge potential - it could have been a really good movie. It was energetic, fast-paced, and as far as modern cold war-based spy thrillers go, it was acceptably realistic(It's stretched, but you can tell it could've been stretched furhter and done easier by doing so). Granted the whole "Everyone is Russian spies!" thing got trying, but still.
But there was virtually no characterization.
Seriously, even at the
