My turn! My turn!

Heh. xkcd is pure comic gold. Go to it!

(Also, for some reason, this comic doesn’t totally show up on my blog. Go to xkcd to see it, or simply ignore this if you’re on Planet TT-Forums. )

Decisions, Decisions…

I’m faced with a dilemma.

Since I got good grades for the first Partial (Each semester has 3 Partials) my parents have said that they will buy me up to a maximum of $60 worth of games.

I could get Okami, FFX, and Shadow of the Colossus for that much, or get the much shinier Half Life 2: Orange Box (Which is 5 games), or I could get Beautiful Katamari.

The PS2 package will net me 3 games, and will be easy to convince to my parents.
The Orange Box will net me 5 games in HD glory, and will be medium-hard to convince to my parents.
Beautiful Katamari will only be one [amazingly fun] game, in HD glory, and will take no convincing.

This, in addition to Ace Combat 6 the day it comes out, will make for nice gaming.

I’m leaning towards Orange Box due to the awesome it contains.
But the PS2 games will NOT be there forever.
And Beautiful Katamari is just that, Beautiful.

DILEMMA!

What do you think?

Chipses!

Okay, so every few days I go and get some of these great homemade chips (crisps for you British assholes ) sold by a vendor on school grounds. These chips are AMAZING.

So one of my friends walks up to me after I buy my chips.

“Can I have a chip?”
“Yeah, sure.”
“Can I have another?”
“No, these are too delicious.”
“Oh… Can I borrow some money?”
“I don’t have any more…”

Awkward Silence™ follows.

“I hope you choke on a chip.”
“What?”
“I don’t hope you die though. Just choke and suffer.”
“…”
“Well, bye!”

Awesome.

On another note, my Apostrophe/Quotation Mark key is failing…

Double Win!

Today was a day like any other.

Except I found my book. My math book.
I lost my math book in the first week of school during I.T class. I left it behind for some reason (rushing, probably), tried to look for it for a few days, then gave up the chase.
Then I lost my I.T textbook last week in the same place. I resolved to find it.
Then I saw the big box full of jackets and books in one corner of the entrance to the computer rooms. I put two and two together and started searching. I finally found my I.T textbook (yay!) and decided to try and find my math book that I lost so many weeks ago.

I found it.

I found it!

That made my day go all the awesomer. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, but today was a good day.

Questions Philosophical

Sometimes, I wonder.

What if I didn’t move to Canada when I was 6? Would I be as smart as I am now? Would I have more friends? Would I be one of those dumbass wigger kids who obsess about rap? Would I have learned English well? Would I even have lived?

I don’t know. But here’s an interactive question.
Without modern medicine, would you have survived in the middle ages?
That means no surgery, no antibiotics, no complex treatments, no IVs. Just ointment and your immune system.

Let’s concentrate on my life.
My dad wouldn’t have survived past age 14. He had appendicitis.
My mom would have died of Meningitis at age 12.
I wouldn’t even have been born, since I had to be carried out through C-section.
Then I would have died of Septic Shock by the end of this year due to a pilonidal cyst I had.
My brother would have had 2 broken legs and a crooked nose, and would have died this year of appendicitis.
My other brother is the only one that came out with positive notes. Cigarettes weren’t invented in the middle ages. He’d be perfectly healthy.

What about you? Drop me a comment on this post.

Re: A Letter to Existence

Okay, it’s bad enough that they’re nearly exactly the same in terms of name. But giving them the same personality? Hell, even the same laugh?

On top of all that, giving them the same BIRTHDAY.

I feel like Arthur Dent.

Me: 2 – System: 0

I beat the system again.

Okay, so all Ethics class is about is just “read part of book, make flowchart, hand in”

We make flowcharts using Cmap Tools (handeh!), then attach them onto online forms on the school network. Teacher checks it (At 11:53 PM >_>) and gives you grade. Repeat about 4 or 5 times.

We had to do flowcharts about two chapters of a book. I did one flowchart per chapter, per day for two days. I tried handing in one, then the other, hoping that the attachment form would allow two attachments at the same time. Not so.

So what I did was put them in a zip file, then I added it as an attachment. Homework gets marked, I look at my mark (10/10), then at the notes the teacher left about the homework.

Apparently, I got two extra marks because I overcame the attachment limit and put them into a zip file. Amazing.

So, I beat the system once more. My sheer lazyness gave me extra marks.
Only two words can describe this:
DO WANT.

Final Fantasy 7 – Voices of the Lifestream

If you like video game music, or Final Fantasy 7, or are open-minded about your music experiences, check out Voices of the Lifestream. It’s a massive 4-CD album released by OC Remix, a great site with great remixes of great game music.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

I like the Wii. I really do. It has some top-notch games.
But the graphics… Get a clue, Nintendo. HD is now. Non-HD content looks weird on a HDTV.

I don’t know what point I’m trying to get across. Just a little rant and funnies, I guess. Have some funny quotes! They’re pulled from a story on Kotaku about a Wii-adapted version of the Gamebryo Engine (The one that runs Oblivion) being developed.

“I loved oblivion because it had beautiful scenery and graphics. Putting it on the Wii would be like giving a pig breast implants.”

“The Wii’s software lineup is a sinking ship, and shoddy ports are the fires on its decks. That isn’t a comment against the Wii, mind you- a quality system with stellar first party support. But the thing has more ports than the back of my computer.”

“The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: The Shivering Minigames GOTY edition.”

“I heard there is a necrophilia minigame planned.”

“The Wii is just two meerkats held together by staples.”

And Finally:
“Whether the Wii is capable of playing Oblivion or not, I need to ask one question:
Why fucking bother?”

You may proceed to rip me a structurally superfluous new be-hind… Now.
