Yup. I'm an idiot

So yeah. I busted my 500GB laptop drive.   Oops.   I went to reposition myself and lay on the floor and forgot I injured my knee and freaked myself out and the laptop hit the floor and now I need a new drive...   Well, I have one, but it's a grand total of 120GB. So I guess that's something. But the other one is shot. Luckily most everything was backed up and the few things that weren't (Important pictures) had been backed up by my sister.   Ugh. I hate setting up a new computer.   But this th

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.

Xenosaga

My local used bookstore had a copy on display so I took it as a sign and grabbed it as I had been looking at it on the internet since I had beaten Xenoblade.   It boasts "more then 80 hours of gameplay" and is the first part of a trilogy.   What have I gotten myself into...

Xenoblade Chronicles: Clear!

Finally! It took more than a year, but I did it!   That was a really good game, but it seemed to make itself really, really difficult to complete at times.   But the story was really good and I really enjoyed the combat.   I only wish it was on a more powerful system because the game was so beautiful but graphically it would have been nice at a higher resolution, but honestly I'm quite surprised it ran as well as it did on a 3DS.   Really good game though. Definitely recommend.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Chapter 5

Well then. I don't know what I expected but it was deffinately not that.   I mean, I still don't have a skell and that's unbelievably frustrating but at least the story is interesting.

Xenoblade Chronicles X

I held off on buying this game in hopes that somebody in my family would pick up on the massive amount of hints I was dropping about this game, but alas.   So I bought it yesterday and have logged more time then I'm going to admit. It looks good. Really good. It apparently runs at 720p but I didn't even notice.   Speaking of which, I should actually finish XBC. I still have no idea how far I have to go though...

Xbox stuff

I'm the proud owner of a new xbox 360. So you can add me if you like. My gamertag should be in the sidebar.

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

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

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

Working at a Call Center: Disconnects

Ugh I don't think I can take this much longer. Here's a little explanation on how a mobile phone number disconnect goes for those of you have not had the unfortunate opportunity to work at a call center for a phone carrier before.   So, to begin with, a customer can't disconnect their phone number on their own, it's one of the few things they need to call us for. We are told to keep our disconnects below 1%, meaning one percent of our calls are supposed to involve a single disconnect. So we have

Work/CEO Visit

A little while ago the CEO of the company I work for visited my place of work. Me being the sole janitor working there obviously had a lot of work to do. It was an exhausting week as you can probably imagine.   I was not able to stay, but several of my coworkers informed me that the CEO was very impressed at how well the place was kept up and that most branches don't put in much effort.   So that's pretty awesome. I wonder how many people can say that. Definitely an improvement over my last plac

Woo! Blog!

So I broke down, got over my petty excuse for not getting PM and got some PM. May not agree with some of the features, but whatever.

Wind Waker: CLEAR!

I finally got around to beating Wind Waker on the Wii U.   That last battle was probably my favorite of the series. Or at least of the ones I've beaten. Still my favorite Link.   I also got around to completing Metroid: Fusion about a week ago. The SA-X still terrifies me more then it has any right to. That only took me... Ten years at least. I can't remember when I first got it.

WHY?

Okay, so, if you work in a building and see a bag has come off the edge of a trashcan and fallen in you have a couple options.   A: notify someone to fix the problem B: fix the problem C: ignore it and keep chucking your trash in it, it'll get fixed.   If you picked A or B, congrats, you are more competent than some of my coworkers. Give yourself a pat on the back.   Bonus points if you dump liquid in the trashcan...

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.

What.

Apparently Netflix is having a The Series of Unfortunate Events series made.   I don't know whether to get excited or really ticked off. Is it to early for the second one?

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.

What is wrong with me?

I'km practically obsessed with bows and swords and I can't sharpen a pocket knife.   There is something so wrong with that statement. I've been trying for hours and have made literally no progress. (Except cutting my fingers.)   Excuse me while I go sit in shame.

Well that was anticlimactic

So I was supposed to start work about an hour and a half ago. Well, there was apparently some form of mixup. I was given the wrong time. Luckily everything worked out, and I'll just be starting in a few days.   So I get to continue freaking out until then. Great.

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...

Using DS3 Controller on PC?

Anyone here have any experience using a Dualshock 3 controller on PC with Steam? What's the best course of action?   I'm halfway decent with hardware issues, but this is a software issue so my solution of wanting to chuck the controller to the other side of the room probably won't help.
