Half-Life 2 Ep. 2

Are you telling me they just let that hang for over seven years without any word on the sequel?   Now I know exactly why everyone wants the announcement and why we haven't gotten one.   Because unless it's the most perfect thing ever, it's going to get shredded.

Today was a good day

I went out thinking I might get a copy of MH4U.   I was not expecting the Shulk amiibo. But apparently nobody had asked about them and when I showed interest in the new Xenoblade game the employee mentioned he had an extra one in stock. And the Target nearby had one copy of MH4U left.   Score.   Also, don't ask about the pink tinge. I honestly haven't a clue what that's about.

Super Metroid!

Finally! It reminds me of when I used to play zero mission when I was younger. (Say what you will, but I found that game immensely entertaining as a child)   Things that have killed me so far:   Some spikes A random creature A mutant plant from the ceiling (Probably has a name.) A freaking chozo statue (Did not expect that one.)

First week of my job

So that wasn't nearly as terrifying as I thought it would be.   Though currently I'm doing a paid training in preparation for the actual job, which basically means that you get information chucked at you for 8 hours and that's kinda stressful. But I've done decently on the two test we've gotten so at least I'm doing something right.   (For those who are curious, I'm working as customer service for a company known as AFNI, which is (or at least the location I'm at is) contracted with Verizon for

Anyone here play Metal Gear Rising?

I'm stuck on the back to back battles with Mistral and jet-stream Sam.   I can take Mistral down pretty easily with little damage to my health bar and no nanopastes wasted, but I just can't figure out the other guy. Am I supposed to be able to parry all of his attacks? Because he attacks, I parry he attacks again, I can't parry then he starts a combo and I'm stunned and can't do anything about it. (The stunned mechanic is the absolute worst) I can get him down to between 10% and 20% and then he

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.

Nostalgia

I just found a copy of Metroid Prime: Hunters at my local used bookstore. I know this has never been the best Metroid game, but I used to play it with my friends in my freshmen year of high school.   Oh my goodness. That was like... somewhere between 5 and 6 years ago.   And with that, all I need to have a comprehensive Metroid collection is Super Metroid (and that... other one.). All I need is five coins. So close.

Bastion

Wow. I thought Transistor was great. But then I finish this game. Wow.   Thoughts, massive spoilers, click and read at your own risk:(If you ever want to play this game, don't click it, I foolishly browsed Transistor's workshop page and all it takes is one person who doesn't know what a spoiler tag is to ruin the ending.)         I've also had Zia's song stuck in my head most of the day.

Are there any Monster Hunter Players here?

I'm curious about the new one that's coming out, and I tried the demo for MH3, and enjoyed the little bit I've played of it. (I was also beyond awful at it, but, you know, you get used to being bad at games after awhile.)   So, if I do decide to pick these up, what should I be expecting?   I also have a key for the demo if someone wants it, apparently. Just shoot me a PM or respond here and it's yours.

Club Nintendo's closure

So I read an article that club Ninendo is closing. (Not said article, that's Nintendo's announcement and FAQ)   Just thought I'd post it here since there are quite a few people who post about the games and stuff.   I also need to find something I can use to get 5 points because I am literally that far away from a copy of Super Metroid. I'll look at getting a VC game or something...   Aso Flipnote 3D is apperantly coming next month as a free download for club Nintendo users. (Finally)   Also: If

The Xbox Community

Thank you, 3 random players for informing me how much I suck. No wonder nobody takes the gaming community seriously.   *Sigh* That's enough Iron banner for today. (As an added bonus, I got three (I'm assuming) "Avoid this player" points for trash talking. Which is monumentally hard to do when you don't use a mic. In fact, all the avoids I've gotten where due to trash talking. So figure that out.)

Spec Ops: The Line

If you have not played the game That right there is pretty close to the entire premise of it.   If you have, you may remember a certain portion of the game having an uncanny resemblance to that comic.   All sources I could gather say this comic and said game have absolutely no link whatsoever. (This comic is from 2011, the game released in 2012 and development started in 2007, with a demo that shows the games direction and tone released in 2009.)   So make of that what you will.

On getting a job

So, after a search that was far too long, I've finally, almost employed, and by almost I mean I just need to actually start.   But of course, because nothing can be that simple, I have to sort out some transportation related issues. For one, rather then having me at the call center that is literally across the street (Give or take a half mile) They have me working at one that's by the local mall. Okay, no big deal, I'll just take the bus, except my shift ends half an hour after all the routes ar

2014

so in roughly... six hours, it'll be 2015 for me.   There was quite a lot that happened for me.   I managed to pass every class I took this year, but I could've done significantly better. I was not able to find a job, despite turning in more applications then I care to think about. Being limited to only using the bus apparently makes that more difficult. I built something like 3 separate, functioning computers, which is pretty awesome. (though technically two of them used the same case, but what

Look at what I found!

I found Quite a few of the new Bionicle sets at a local target. They did not appear to have any Gali or Onua sets, for some reason, but I think I saw all of the others in varying amounts. Though a few of the protectors might have been absent.

On building computers

Once. Just. Once. Would I like for everything to plug in and freaking work. But no. It's got to throw a freaking RAM error even though I know it isn't the RAM because I'm using it to complain on my blog that my other motherboard is throwing a RAM error.   Ugh. Is it really too much to ask to have something work properly the first time? First I had to get a new motherboard because the one I have is in a case that won't accept my new graphics card. (My dad works on computers for a living, so he br

The thing that bugs me about the end of LoK

I think I pinned down what's felt off about it.   At the end of Avatar, after the final battle, Aang was shown standing triumphantly on one of the rock structures in the middle of where the battle with a slow, powerful version of the melody that's heard in quite a few of the AtLA and LoK music pieces. followed by a little bit of a time skip when we got to see how everything turned out.   Korra didn't get that. The final battle ended in a huge literal bang and then just fell off a cliff into havi

Korra Finale

I'll come back when I sit on it a bit. That was definitely something.   Oh. And I want all the music. All of it. Mostly what was playing durring the first assault on the giant mech and what was playing during Korra's last battle in the mech, also what appears to be another version of "Hittin' on all Sixes". But yeah. All of it.   Get on that Track Team.

Shedinja question?

Did they change how you get these things? I've got a spare pokeball and a nincada at level 19 with only 5 pokemon in my party and when it hits 20? It evolves and no Shedinja. Twice.

MyMathLab is awful

Question: "Do you trust the predicted data?"   Me: Not really, I'm not even sure what it's referring to honestly.   *Clicks answer, gets it wrong, clicks a second answer, also wrong*   Me: No, wait, scratch that, I do trust the data, apparently. Glad they informed me of that.   Seriously, Why are they asking me an opinion if they are looking for a correct answer.   And don't even get me started on when it decides to ask me to estimate.

Finals week

One more class. That's it. Unfortunately I got a 50% on the final homework assignment.   Whoops. Good thing I get an infinite amount of retries. But I don't exactly know what I did right So this is essentially going to be a game of "How far can I push my luck" until I have an acceptable score(MyStatLab is an awful program. Awful.). Yay. I also have to present the solutions to two math equations in front of my (Shockingly small) class. Which is pretty much my definition of fear.   I'm also incre
