I JUST GOT A NEW COMPUTER I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND TIME IN SCHOOL.
*sigh* It hasn't even been a month yet and I'm already tired of school. I guess having a new, uber-computer doesn't help, either.
Played some Burnout Paradise. It runs fine on all settings maxed, but I don't really find it fun anymore. I also played some more Arkham Asylum. Got a bunch of Riddler challenges. I also got a 39 hit combo in a Challenge Room. THERE IS AN ACHIEVEMENT FOR GETTING A 40 HIT COMBO. Stupid counter not working...
So today during Assassin's Creed 2, I get to a part where I have to kill a guard captain. BUT HAHA IT'S A TRAP So I'm on the ground, he's on the roof with a bunch of guards. My objective is beat all the waves of guards and kill the guy. So I defeat one wave, and I think "screw this," so I climb the wall and go straight for the captain. He runs, but I manage to hit him so he fights back. And then over a dozen guards swarm me. So we're all fighting on a roof wide enough for 4, maybe 5 people. And the roof is slanted. So as I'm slaying all these punks, they go slip-sliding off the roof onto the poor citizens below.

I would've never guessed him for being a Metallica fan, even when he was younger. Then again, I guess I don't seem like a Metallica fan either.
keeping with my theme of Killing Floor quotes for money-related entries Also I got paid today and got 308 dollars. B) (apparently I got a 50 cent raise and no one told me???)
Is anyone else looking forward to this game? I've played the demo for at least 5 hours so far; I love it. The grappling hook is just so cool. It really adds a unique twist to what would otherwise be a generic shooter. I grappled two guys on motorcycles to each other. Which made them be pulled off their bikes and into each other, while their bikes kept going.
I took a break from Skyrim (don't worry, my adventures will resume later today) to try out the Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning demo. I'm sure most of you Mass Effect fans know it as the game that gives you sweet ME3 armor and a gun for playing the demo. I came for the ME3 unlocks, I stayed for the gameplay. It was genuinely enjoyable. $60 enjoyable? Ehhh, not really; but then again, I am really cheap. However, I will definitely be picking it up during a sale.
Regardless of your interest in ME3 unlocks, you should definitely give the demo a go if you like action-RPGs.
I'm so excited! But I'm worried that it'll end up being like the original: blah. I really hope it doesn't, but there just doesn't seem to be enough new stuff to make the game a lot better... I guess I'll find out tomorrow, won't I?
I kinda don't want to go to school so I can play. Then again, I never want to go to school anymore. :/
I feel as though there should some concluding sentence here but I can't think of one. Oh well.
About a week ago, I got a normal magazine. I was disappointed, cuz I thought my mom didn't get me Brickmaster again. Today Brickmaster arrived, along with Click (who is currently staring at me). So two magazines... I have yet to read either.
be warned i am not feeling like using shift anyways,
back in the day, i would frequently spend time at my neighbor's house playing xbox. one of my favorite games was star wars battlefront ii. i loved it so much i bought it on pc. i was heartbroken when i find out its a dvd-rom and my pc only has a cd drive. fast forward several years to yesterday. i'm sitting around bored, tired of all my other games. i look to my right and see battlefront ii, just sitting there and think 'well i have nothing better to do.' so i install it, update it, yadda yadda and play it. and fall in love all over again. i've been playing it a lot yesterday and today, though technically 2 days ago and yesterday since it's past midnight, anyway, i'm really enjoying it, even though i played it so freakin much before. it's still a really fun game.
I went and saw Phantom Menace in 3D with my friend Josh today Afterwards we stopped in Barnes and Noble so he could get someone a birthday gift. While there, I decided to look for Icarus Effect, a novel about some characters from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I was pretty indifferent about it; I mean, sure, I'd like to read it, but I wasn't going out of my way to do so. I figured if I saw it right in front of me, that would be incentive enough to buy it. After searching through the Sci-fi section, we came across some shelves that seemed dedicated to videogame-related books. They were organized by author, but I didn't know who it was, so we searched the old fashion way... and couldn't find it. I decided to text my mom and ask her to look it up. I was just about to hit "send" when Josh said something, I'm not sure what. He was kneeling and pulled a book from the bottom shelf. It wasn't Icarus Effect.
But right next to his face, staring right back at me, was Icarus Effect.
