9/29/2006 - I want it to be Sunday. NOW. |
'Got to play a friend's Starfox Command last week; 'decided i'd pass for now (( It's bound to end up in Circuit City's bargain bin after the holidays )). So, here's what i ultimately decided on ...
Okami is just BEAUTIFUL; it's like playing a watercolor painting... which is about 9 thousand times more fun-er than it sounds, if you can imagine :D 'Definitely one of the stronger PS2 titles this year and a step in the right direction design-wise. I'm not very far into it; but I'm having a gool 'ol time breaking into villager's homes, digging holes in their bedrooms and breaking all their priceless family heirlooms. 'Only complaint at this point is the bug / guide talks too damn much. Shutup and let me figure shit out on my own, geez!! ... he gives away too many hints IN BOLD RED LETTERS.
Cooking Mama is bland and not very challenging. 'Storyline is non-existent...and that's a huge downfall. The entire 'game' is comprised solely of mini-games; all using the stylus: Mama tells you to make shit, and you make it. That's it. I believe that's what you'd call BOO-URNS.
Big Brain Academy: 'yet to officially start it! ....but i'm sure it's awesome ;)
Las Vegas trip #2 was fun, though being constantly surrounded by fake blondes with fake boobs with bright orange fake tans put me in a violent mood. Ughhkkkk, they were everywhere! Millions of them! Why does everyone want to look the damn same? o.0 Ya wanna know where all the cute-as-hell NORMAL girls are? Frikken Dodger Stadium, I SWEAR. Millions of them.
 Anyway, it was soooo nice to see my family for those few days. ^_^ We stayed at the Rio for the first time: 'liked it all right despite it's lack of tigers. My Uncle Kenny taught me how to play craps like a real pro. My crazy dice skillz earned a good deal of applause. 'Just tossed 'em down the table like i didn't give a shit and watched all these strangers win tons of money. Hey! Fun! 'Too bad i don't gamble, ....but if i did, i'd totally play craps. :P
**'Updated my Flickr account with some new photos.**
My Nana hasn't been to 'Vegas since the early 70's... so, for her, it was almost an entirely new place. New York, New York was good to her; she won like $700, i think. 'Not too shabby /:)
Staying at the Rio reminded me of how forgettable Penn and Teller were. We saw those guys during our previous LV trip, and i somehow forgot to mention it. Ha. I enjoy, Bullshit, but their stage show is just awful. 'Best way to describe it: a college lecture with a couple of circus acts and magic tricks here and there. Avoid.
I met the "Crab Leg Instructor" at the Rio Carnival buffet. I was struggling big time with the blue plastic "sea sheller". 'Never used one of those things before....and apparently i was doing it wrong! This short Mexican waiter appears out of nowhere and saves the day: he grabs the crab leg out of my hands and gives me a very messy demo. Crab juices and particles are flying everywhere... he was like the Emily Fox of crab legs! He ripped out the crabmeat and tossed it onto my plate. I look up at this guy and he's got this crazy smile showing all 94534548 of his teeth looking like he just conquered the universe. If i married him, i'd have a pretty good answer to the "How did you two meet?" question, huh.
OH! I have a really crazy story involving me having to run out of my hotel room late at night; half-dressed, in front of a good portion of the 16th floor hotel guests at the Plaza hotel BUT i tell it really good in person (( SFX's needed )! We'll be at the Sketchbook Session this Sat: ask me about the "hot shower incident" :P
 "OH BOY!" What's next......? Amazing weekend planned: Sketchbook Session, and LA County Fair :D !!! I'm gonna milk a goat, like, all damn day on Sunday. HOLY SHIT I CAN'T WAIT!!!! XD !!!! ((*new record for use of the word "shit" in an entry, i think*))

Wow! that watercolour ish game DOES look awesom-o. I remetber seeing a teaser of it a while back and thinking "FINALLY a game that goes beyond the standards!" That you say it's also fun is quite a thrill. Oh and those kittuns are charming. As for regular cute girls, well, it's been said that Montreal has the cutest girls in da world, but I'm sure you're ok too.
:P (I kid)

corkbutt> Ha! Congrats on the neeeew place w/that kickass view. Holycrap, i'm so jealous you get to be friends with a ton of coyotes :O
...but yeah: i got to play around with goats the other day. So there. :)
Neneuche> YES! You should check it out. Okami, that is. It's a huge deal when game developers give the artists so much creative freedom. 'Rare you see anything other than photo-realisim or "cartoon style" with the self-illumination and saturation jacked up.
'Glad you like mah kitties, thanks ^_^
Yeah, i think you know what i mean: "normal girls" as in 'cute' without altering their appearances much. Most 'Vegas girls wear 2 pounds of make-up and have cleavage spilling out of all corners of their clothing! XD
"but I'm sure you're ok too"
I have my days!!! :P lol
Maybe someday i will make it to Montreal...
Shellie> Piss /:P ...we went on the very last day, so it's all over now. I'm kinda bummed we waited this long, 'cause i'd LOVE to go another day; it was such a good time. We should plan for it next time. Oh and thanks for the links! :D Now i have to update that shit and i owe ya an email! Viking adventures = i'm sooooo there. XD
