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.

Update, the Next Day

So, I woke up this morning, didn't drool any blood, so that was good. Started the morning with vanilla ice cream for breakfast, then took my butt load of pills then took a shower which was a bad idea because I started feeling the vicodin kick in while taking a shower, so I pretty much had to put on my clothes in my chair. Had assistance walking down stairs, then watched Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Harvey Birdman, Home Movies, and loads of Saturday Night Live before getting used to the vicodin effect. Also watched That 70s Show and King of Queens and now one of the Peter Cushing Frankenstein movies is on, so I have to watch that being a Star Wars fan and knowing that Peter Cushing is totally bad ass. Tomorrow I think I'll start with scrambled eggs. That's all for now, not a big day.

An Update

So I took a nap. When I woke up there was blood on my pillow and my jaw hurt like hell. So I went to tell my mom to give me pills. By the time I walked down stairs I felt like I was going to vomit so my mom gave me a bucket in case I vomited. She then told me she'd come back in a few minutes to check on me before giving me pills. I ended up falling asleep again while holding the bucket. I woke up when my mom came back and I was feeling better and only a section of my jaw was numb so I was able to pop whatever two pills I was taking. Then I laid down on the couch and turned on the Simpsons. I was also given a couple cups of ice chips to help my surgery spots, then I was given some jello for my stomach, and now I'm on my third glass of Gatorade... and I also gotta pee....

My Big Day

SO I had my wisdom teeth removed today. When they asked me to come back I followed them into this all white room with the surgical chair in the middle. My first thought was, man this room looks like it's from the Matrix. They hooked up everything to me and then stuck the needle in me so they could inject me with the first anesthetic. After they did this I got a surge of heaviness that flew through my extremities. I got a little tired as well. After that they injected me with the second anesthetic and the next thing I remember was me waking up and for a second I thought I was singing "White Wedding" by Billy Idol. The doctors said I wasn't, but I could've sworn I was. I'm really tired right now so some of this may not make sense to you or myself later. Right now my jaw is totally numb. I ate a little bit of ice cream. I tried to take a couple pills, but I couldn't even hold water in my mouth. I'll update you on the situation later.

I'm receiving stuff

So I ordered a load of stuff on Amazon and I got some of it in the mail:

Heretic 2, Nail by Foetus, and Driver

I'm listening to Nail by Foetus right now and I think this is one amazing industrial album, they are now becoming my favorite industrial band, slowly, but I think they are. I installed Heretic 2 and played through the tutorial section and I have a feeling that this game will be great. Driver on the other hand, I have to get an emulator for because it doesn't operate on OS X, which is pants on head retarted. All I have left to receive is the MonsterGecko pistol mouse, ZPC (which I'll probably have to emulate as well), Diablo 2, and Conquers Your Love by Praga Khan.

Craziness!

So I was in Sam Ash lookin for a new synthesizer and I'm busy playing "Circling Overland" by Front 242 and "Just Can't Get Enough" by Depeche Mode and I see this old guy and his daughter walk in and the guy plays a little bit of synth and then walks away, I later found out that the guy was the drummer for Anthrax. I played Depeche Mode and Front 242 in front of the drummer from Anthrax. I found this out because one of the Sam Ash employees told me.

...

The guy bought a Korg NanoKey... I use one as well... I feel special!

So I ended up buying a Roland SH-201, once again it was the floor model, I just need to get the sound working with USB connection. Ableton recognizes that the synth is being played and sound waves will appear, but no sound comes out so I gotta fix that. Worst comes to worst I buy a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter and use my male/male stereo cord with that.

Goin Live Soon

So I decided to create a Ustream show called "Clean Up On Aisle 216" I'll post when I have a definite day for the first episode, but until then here's the page:

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/saibot216

SO let's see...

I'm putting a restriction on comments now because I'm getting too much god damn spam. Why is it all posted here? I don't generate that kind of traffic!

I really need to start getting games for my mac... I'm so bored here. I'm gonna get Driver, ZPC (because it kicks that much ass), an RPG, and maybe something else... we'll see... I have to save the rest of that money for a couple CDs.

Picking an RPG is tough because the choices are so limited and I was looking for something different, but I guess I'll have to settle for either Icewind Dale or Diablo 2 (because Baldur's Gate costs a shit load). I thought Heretic 2 was an RPG but I can see that I'm wrong, I may get that just as an extra game. See I'd get Icewind Dale because that's more action focused and supposedly really good, but I'd get Diablo 2 to play with my friend John who has it (normally I hate multiplayer altogether) and because I remember watching people play it a lot back in the day and it looked pretty cool. So we'll see what happens when it comes time to buy.

I'm still rattling the idea of making a game in my head. I really want to do it and if I actually go through with this I should definitely get started the second school ends, maybe a wee bit earlier. Then I'd definitely have to set deadlines for certain things and maybe get friends to help me with this (even though I occasionally hate working with others).

...

I dunno, we'll see what happens.
