Maybe Video Game Roundup is dead. It sounded cool but I wrote the two paragraphs about video games and realized I didn’t want to dedicate a whole post to it. I even had a cool title: Round 2 – Fight! But instead, this time:
It’s Life Roundup!
The wedding is getting closer and closer. Jenny is finishing up with our disney plans for our honeymoon. Apparently everything we go to needs a reservation.
I’m going to C-Bus to see Ryan this weekend. Sunday and Monday, hangin with my best man. He’ll be borrowing Super Mario Galaxy, he said he wanted to play it. I’m bringing super smash bro’s as well. I might bring my whole Wii, just to play my virtual console games.
Saturday we had a cookout/party for Jenny’s grandmother, who’s birthday was two weeks ago. I grilled some awesome burgers, and she made some awesome potatoes. I cooked brats from Dorothy Lane too, but they weren’t that great. I’d rather have the kind you buy in a package. I want to cook Keibasas, but we can’t find them.
Video Games
Resident Evil 5
I’ve been playing the crap out of this. I’m missing one BSAA plate, and I know where it is. I didn’t bring a sniper rifle, damnit. I’ve almost finished it on Amatuer (but I’ve already beaten it on normal). I’m going for all S’s, but I’ll have to replay some boards because I missed a few. Justin and I are going through on Veteran, which will unlock Professional mode. I got unlimited ammo on the super duper magnum, it has 5000 attack power, and kills everything in one or two hits. Normal zombies: one hit. Those icky sloth creatures, one to two hits, that giant axe guy at the beginning? two or three. Bosses are cake. I got the achievement for damaging wesker in the first fight so much. It was rad. And the Excella fight was easy too, I didn’t even have to use the rocket launcher thing, just the mag. Oh yeah. Because of the kickback, you have to make the shots count. I got so good at it I received a 75% accuracy bonus on one level. I think I’m only missing 6 jewels too.
WoW
Ii, my rogue, is now level 21. I’ve been preparing for 21 because I had two awesome daggers enchanted with Fiery. It’s going to be awesome. My leveling plan has gone well. To recap, I leveled to 9 in Durotar, jumped ship and went to the Blood Elf area. Leveled to 17, at which point things stopped being “super easy”. I then came back to the Barrens, and even though and handfull of quests were Grey, they were still worth doing. Now I’m 21, and at 22 I finally get the Distract ability, which will make my sneaky sneaky easier. With the daggers I’m not sure if I need to.
Sims 3
I’m not playing it, but Jenny is. She says it’s harder than Sims 2. Apparently she was trying to get a guy to break up with his lady-friend so she could have him to herself, but he wouldn’t. And he wouldn’t Woo-Hoo with her either. Apparently in the Sims 2, infidelity and promiscuity are easy to come by.
Internet:
We upgraded to AT&T U-Verse, and it’s amazing! We had AT&T DSL and Dish for TV, they both sucked ass. My Download speed was .65Mbps tops on DSL, and now my download speed is 5.77Mbsp or something crazy like that. Fiber optics are the bomb dizzle. The router/modem they gave me does everything, I went from having three small modem/routers to having one bigger router. It’s wireless too.
Now for Movies:
A Scanner Darkley
I started watching it only because I was interested in the whole “we shot it live but turned it into a cartoon anyway” effect. It seemed like it was okay, but I don’t think I’m going to finish it. I honestly got 20 minutes into it (the thought bubble where the waitress is topless) and turned it off. I had enough of the “cartoon effect”. Either be real, or be a cartoon, but not both, it’s weird.
Freelance:
Tomorrow I’m doing a presentation for Bayer Financial Group to ‘tune up’ their website. I’ve got a 12 slide presentation, and we’re doing lunch.
I did some work for a company called Warmbat, they sell shoes/boots and seem based in Australia, I don’t have the full scope on it. I’m 2/3rds of the way through the project. It was interesting because I’m used to MooTools for my javascript purposes, but I had to use jQuery. I figured “hey, they both do the same thing”, which they do, but the syntax is way different. It was a learning experience.
Rockdoctor is getting closer to the finish line. As is the project at my day job.
