The XWA One Year Thread III: Revenge of the Sh*t

Recommended Posts

Congrats.

 

A year without a Patriots playoff team... hmmm...

 

Oh well: I can console myself that with the next post, we will have finally caught up with last year's thread... with whole days to spare.

 

Everything else at this point is just gravy.

 

Though: if we all post at the rate that has been happening, we might move a significant way towards 3K in the time remaining in '08.

 

 

So: Title for the next one?

 

Any thoughts?

He has a favorite toy.. a small mouse like thing with a rattle inside. It started with him bringing it into bed.. then I would toss it out of the bedroom to the hallway with linoleum floor, so it slides easily and the cat can play apit of soccar with the toy. after he is done "playing soccar" he will pick it up, and sometimes bring it back to where i am.

 

makes it easier to play with him

I just dropped a week's pay at IKEA. Ouch.

 

But now I have all the makings of a tile floor.

 

Now I just have to install it...

 

They didn't have the color I wanted... but when I learned they were discontinuing the line, and weren't going to get any of the other colors in, I bought up pretty much everything they had.

 

I guess I'll just have to try to make white work in the cellar.

 

It will definitely brighten up that room. (But be a bitch to keep clean...)

 

Got a driving ticket on the way home. I started over a bit early to get off at my exit, and got cited for driving in the breakdown lane. Technically: I was... but...

 

The guy in the truck ahead of me started, and I just fell in behind him. We both got pulled over.

 

We were not alone: By the time I got my license, registration, and ticket back, there were at least 10 other cars lined up behind us.

Nice of them to install a program, then blackmail you into using the solution. (Which is probably just as bogus, and infectious.

 

Played a little CoD:WaW co-op.

 

I thought I was doing really well at it tonight... but my friend cleaned up on the points.

 

I don't get the scoring method on this game... but oh well... I just want to finish the campaign co-op. I'm not concerned about racking points.

ah, glad you like it. :)

 

had to turn my copy in, otherwise i'd be up for some co-op tomorrow. instead, i'll be on Fable II...probably all day...i'm starting to invest in houses. it is so damn hard to be evil in this one. in Fable and Fable TLC, the npcs other than the quest ones, did not have names. in Fable II, EVERYBODY-including the town guards, have names, and not only that, but you can GIVE THEM NICKNAMES....so uh...say i end up one day renaming everyone in a town to those coworkers and customers that annoy me at work...sacrificing people to the shadows....

 

but, it's hard trying to get people to HATE you, cause in order to do that...

GRAW 1 i take it?

 

I only ever player (and beat) that on the original xbox. graphics in it weren't the best lol.

 

my assistant manager was asking me some questions tonight and found out she lived right around the corner from where i used to live (down in lititz, that small town outside lancaster)...i probably made her pizza a few times when i worked at pizza hut. small ****ing world, or is there something more? her birthday is also in january, i'm wondering what day, that would be ****ing crazy if it is the same as mine.

 

Weird day overall....this morning i wake up, look at my clock, now normally it's like 30 minutes ahead...well it said '12:30' so i'm liek '****!!!' gotta get ready for work at 1pm! so i got ready and well...it was only 10am real time. lol anyway, i get into work at 1...REJECTED TOO EARLY....i was like 'WTF!!!!!111111' anyway got punched in anyway...stupid home office hours...

Hmmm... consumer confidence...

 

Yeah: IKEA was HOPPING today! Lines were huge... and people were buying tons of ****!

 

I, myself, put over 800 bucks into the economy today. (Over 900, if you include the moving violation... :rolleyes: )

 

Granted: That was money I have been saving for well over a year for this very purpose... but still...

 

I'm not entirely sure if this economic crisis isn't somewhat overstated and exaggerated.

 

It's difficult to see from ground-level, anyways...

i'm blaming the gas companies for it. i like my gas at under $2 a gallon thankyouverymuch....

 

think the main people bitching about the "economy" is those that invested in oil and gas and such. well they can go **** themselves, i don't ever want to pay $3+ a gallon again.

oh yes, one other thing i keep meaning to say on here...someone else claimed the job for the manager position of electronics...so looks like i won't be getting a promotion any...time...soon. This means I'll still be keeping my eye out for employment elsewhere...at least i get paid a fair amount of money (for the area) where i am working, so i won't do anything to **** that up. It's just the annoying hours being cut so i'm kinda forced to get screwed over by having to be in my department 5 hours by myself, piss off the customers when i have to take my hour lunch and nobody's around to cover for it. the film processor is definitely on the way out the door...we process less than 30 rolls a day, and we rent the damn thing. so once that goes, people are gonna have their hours ****ed with some more or transferred to another area with less pay.

 

i could work the system too, do some research online and find out what areas have the best pay and stuff...and then move? i just don't know what i want to do.

so i'm leaving for my interview in a little bit

 

good thing i dont want this crap

so i'll try and have fun with it :)

 

supposed to call in if there was anything going on that they shouldve known about

well what do you know? there was this email that they sent that supposed to be for a assessment or the like. with their own provided login and password

looks like they sent that to someone else, cus i surely couldnt login with that webpage saying 'you cant login, either you got the login wrong or you already completed the assesment' or something like that

 

hah! :joy:

Well, I played through The Force Unleashed. It was...not great. Graphics, art, and sound were all good. The story, cutscenes, and voice acting were great. But the game was just...not that fun to play. You have ten levels to go through hacking up enemies. It's pretty easy. There are different combos, costumes, and lightsabers, but none of that really does anything, so...yeah. Your Force Powers are fun for about five minutes, then you get bored of shocking people with lightning and tossing stormtroopers around. The saber combat is totally lame. The movement feels stiff and unresponsive. Honestly, I thought the Force powers and lightsaber combat were all much better done in Jedi Outcast, and that game is what, 7 years old now?

 

I'd say just YouTube the cutscenes and don't bother with the actual game.

 

I have yet to try it on the higher difficulty levels, though, so perhaps that forces some strategy and makes for a more fun experience.
