Everybody's Updating For the Weekend

So two of my songs got put onto my high school's CD, "Euphonics of Hydroponics" and "Der Blau Haus Auf Das Land" now go listen to those. One is on the album Final Phoenix and the other is on Black Blizzard. In case you forgot my last.fm page here it is:

Spring break is here and I realized that I need some old games to play. I got stuck in Heretic 2 and being a nomadic gamer just kind of stopped. I'll probably pick up Star Wars Dark Forces for the 1000th time and play that again because I love that game so much. I could try playing Crusader again, but..... yeah maybe I'll pick that one up... who knows...

Started messing around with the Jupiter-8 virtual synth and I love some of the sounds contained in this thing. I can make an old school sci-fi soundtrack no problem and if I make a scifi game or movie I will do so.

Tomorrow my friend Andrew and I work on our music project known as Suzy LaRue and the Roothless Ooze. We are planning to have a concert for this project too. We will film it too. Can't wait for all this to happen!

Peace, Love, and Destruction,

Recieve and you Shall Live

Got a new work schedule, I work Mondays and Wednesdays now! Hooray! I also got my Sandman shirt and a haircut! Hooray more clothing! I completed two song yesterday as well and uploaded them to the new album on my last.fm page:
So I got below average on the math PSAE and so they want me to take this online test and course that'll take like two hours, but when I tried to do this my username and password didn't work... what the hell? SO tomorrow morning I'm going to talk to someone in the math department at the resource center (I refuse to call it learning center) about it and see if they can explain it.

Parents are Crazy (caution, heavy swearing)


So some parents at my high school want to shut down GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) and they are going to protest the day of silence by keeping their kids home. Seriously, you parents are (excuse my language here, this'll get brutal) fucking retarded. I don't really know what to say other than that. Why do they care so much about the GSA to shut it down, who gives a fuck whether there is a club supporting gays or not, there's nothing wrong with gays, they are just different and they can't help it and shutting down organizations, sending them to "straight camps", etc. isn't going to help the situation because being gay is an issue with the brain where the person is receiving different signals than a straight person, so seriously, shut the fuck up and get the sand out of your fucking vagina because being hateful towards those that are different won't help your case or theirs. Who gives a fuck if they're going to hell because the bible says so, well you know what, the bible also says to not cut your hair, but what the fuck do you do? CUT YOUR FUCKING HAIR!!!! Sometimes I wonder if I'm the last sane person on this planet.

Wow, Nostolgia

Two things on this topic. I started watching Nostolgia Critic the other day, I must say, he's great. The first one I watched was Battlefield Earth, what I loved about it was how he pointed out that almost every shot was on an angle and when he made some jokes like, "If only our planet wasn't slanted we could shoot straight!" I laughed pretty hard. Then he had Spoony dress up and imitate John Travolta's character which was hilarious. I watched a ton of them when I got off work Friday. I'd recommend him to film fans who want to watch reviews on bad movies.
On the same topic of Nostolgia, my friend John and I played Vigilante 8 today. This brought me back to when I first played it... wow... I was so young back then.... *sigh*. Anyways, the game has a great soundtrack: disco, heavy metal, and trance. Some of the AI is ridiculous like, why the hell can Bee's Wax use his special like 20 times, but I can only use it 5 times? Why are there limited amounts of wrenches? Sure it creates a challenge, but there are some levels that only place like three and then that's it. The last level (the fourth because for each character campaign there are four levels) is always a bitch, like every game, but the difficulty curve ramps way the hell up for that level. I cannot beat the last level at all, but I had no problem with the first three. To sum up Vigilante 8, it's fun for the nostolgia factor, but doesn't really have a lasting impact. With super short campaigns and an extreme increase in difficulty at the last level there's not much to come back to. Sure you have multiplayer (one on one and coop), but it wouldn't really last in the end. I guess I'll have to compare this to the old Twisted Metal games too to see if I have the came feeling on those.
So, staying on games, I'm still playing Heretic 2, haven't gotten very far in it, though it kicks ass. I got Diablo 2 to work on Sheepshaver (A Mac OS emulator), but it lags... oh the lag. I tried to do bootcamp, but was unsuccessful with the Windows XP that I have, so I'll go out and buy a different Windows OS.
I've pretty much decided that I'm going to make a game now. It will be a dungeon crawler using low bit sprites. I am going to use Diablo 2 as a guide to my game creation. I'm going to definitely start making this thing in summer so that I have some time to play Diablo 2 and get a story going in my mind.

Oh and before I forget, I am eating solids now with no troubles. I am very happy about that. Still taking my pills though and I have 6 weeks with a syringe and the perscription mouth wash.
