I just finished Destroy All Humans! for PS2. It was a really great game. I’ve played a lot of better games, but lately I’ve been in the mood for a great console game. Let me attempt to explain what I mean. I play a lot of PC games but don’t own any consoles. When I got home and could play my brother’s PS2, I didn’t want to play something that could be played on my computer. In fact, I’ve noticed lately that many console games are actually just PC ports. Why is Star Wars Battlefront on a console anyways? Sure, you could get Internet access for a PS2 (I’m assuming it’s a network game), but wouldn’t it make more sense to play it on a PC? I wanted something that really felt like a console game. This game sure fit.
This is going to seem to contradict my last paragraph, but Destroy All Humans! reminded me a lot of the new GTA games. Now I know they’re available for PC too, but they still feel like console games to me. Much of the gameplay is the same. Of course, there are also major differences. The only vehicle you control in this game is your saucer. Still, the feel is the same, and I think it feels great. I only rented it; however, there’s a lot of replay value in this game so you might want to purchase it if it sounds like your kind of game.

William, Sims 2
William came over today. It was really good to see him again. I’m glad he forgave me. It’s been over a year since I’ve really seen him. Also, I played the Sims 2 tonight for a long time. But then it crashed. And I hadn’t saved. Poopy.
Secret of Mana
Gemma and I just finished! So tired. Sleep now.
Guild Wars
It’s like WoW but was slightly worse gameplay. I like the story more though. Free though. Go play it!
Knights of the Old Republic
KOTOR 2 is out, and I’m just finishing KOTOR 1. Anyways, it’s a great game. I found the plot a little slow at the beginning, but it definitely picks up. There were times that I thought the plot was flawed, but I later realized that it was intentional and fine. The gameplay’s excellent. There are a lot of unneeded characters though. Also, I never needed to purchase any equipment. I did play it on normal though, so perhaps I’d need to in hard mode. I enjoyed it far more that any other BioWare game. If I get the chance, I’d like to go back and replay it on the dark side. I recommend playing the game if you’re a Star Wars fan or a fan of D20-based computer games.
Super Mario Pac
Super Mario Pac is a little PC game made by hermitgames. The graphics are basically from Super Mario World. You have to build a pipe to get out of each level by touching on the piece and then flying over the right spot. You have a FLUDD, the water pack from Super Mario Sunshine, and that’s what you use to shoot enemies and fly around. Fun game! Find it here!
Dan! Da! Dan
Dan! Da! Dan! in a pretty fun vertical shooter. You can find it at http://nagoya.cool.ne.jp/o_mega/product/ddd.html. The site’s not in English, but it’s not hard to figure out.
Musical Lantern
Check out the flash game Musical Lantern at http://albinoblacksheep.com/flash/lantern.php. |152| told me about it, and I think it’s pretty cool.
A little update
It’s been a while since I’ve updated so here I am.
I got kind of behind in school, but I’m catching up. I’m still a few weeks behind in math reading… but I’m passing the quizzes, and I understood the last lecture. I guess I’m fine then. I failed lab exam 4 but passed 5, and today I retook 4. I failed the first retake but took it again right after in hopes of getting different methods. I did, and I did well.
Right now, I’m talking to Russell on AIM about how I touch myself in the bathroom and think of him.
Anyways.
I spent hundreds of dollars on food last month. Very tasty shit though. Watching Chappelle’s Show right now with Jay. I bought a Tamagotchi. Good times. Last weekend, the match maker (gives you a mate if you haven’t mated via IR) kept visiting Gemma’s and my tamagotchis. We tried waiting until Sunday but hers died. I bought World of Warcraft. It’s a really amazing game. It’s really easy to learn and isn’t that system intensive. I’m only like level 10 though… I have more important things to do.
Last Wednesday, my mom picked me up and took me to my dad’s house. Smells very moldy. I don’t know what the hell’s gonna happen over break… how do I go out? lol. I worked on homework that night and most of Thursday. Jamie’s (not by brother) mom bought an Albertson’s premade Thanksgiving dinner that was pretty good. Afterwards, I went to Christine’s house, and Linh-Nam and I spent the night. He played WoW, and I worked on CSE hw. She had a giant togepi stuffed animal. I woke her up by making it hump her, and then I made it hump Nam. Good times. On Friday, the three of us drove up to Vince’s place. We went to Burger King and then went to Chris’s to play Texas Holdem. I was up for a while but… lost horribly, lol. Friday night, I went home and spent the rest of the weekend doing a shit load of homework and talking to Gemma a lot. One night, we fell asleep on the phone together. I woke up and continued doing stuff. When I was about to goto sleep, she called back, and we talked more. After I went to bed, right when I woke up she called again. What great timing ^_^.
Over the weekend, I managed to get labs 3, 4, and 5 done. Rough drafts of our essay were due on Monday, but I didn’t have it. I hadn’t even started it yet. Michelle said I could e-mail it to her by Tuesday afternoon. I emailed her like 4 pages at 8:00. Then I had another page done by today. I’m still not done with it, heh.
On Monday night, I went to a massage class with Gemma. They taught relaxation/breathing techniques for a little bit and then they went into how to give massages. It was pretty cool. We were the last to leave so we got the left over snacks. ^_^ Didn’t get much sleep Monday night. I decided to sleep through CSE lecture to try to get more. Didn’t get a lot of sleep last night either. I miss sleep. Last night was kind of fun though… I spent the majority of it in the common room with Gemma, Jon, and Gabby. Jon just sort of fooled around… Gabby was reading… and Gemma and I were studying.
Today I have no homework, but I’m gonna have a lot tomorrow. I should get an early start, but I’m not. I stopped by Roda’s and Judy’s tonight. I like lounging around over there. Roda and Judy are good people =P Okay, ta ta for now.
The World Is My Mario Kart
Played way too much. It’s so fucking addictive. Will, Patrick, and I played for hours today. And we sort of played in real life on the way to, in, and on the way back from the commons. When we finally stopped, I got online and IMed Will.
