Four days is a long time, and I am happy to announce I am still alive and well, religously playing my video games...though I haven't been able to go on LightWave for like, a week. Oh well, I get a spare on Monday, and then Tuesday is my LightWave class...it'll be good.
Anyway, I am going to rant about the confused mind of Mother-Dear. I lend Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy out to a friend without her knowing. She continues to go without knowing for about four days, and then suddenly she wants to play it after two years of hating the series. So she gets all pissy with me. Fine, whatever, I'll just get it back and right my wrongs. So I get it back, and she get's pissy with me again! She goes on and on how I broke a commitment to a friend when I leant it to him, and how I already broke the rules so why not break them a little more (which really makes no sense to me). So I said to her that I thought my head was going to be somewhere other than my shoulder's if I didn't get it back home pronto. She thought I was being snotty and didn't talk to me for the rest of the night. Sigh, I will never understand the way a parent's brain works. Mother-Dear is more immature than me sometimes.
She also said that I have to give Halo back to Timmy-G because it wasn't fair that I asked for my game back and he didn't have his. Yeah, whatever. So Halo goes unfinished. She refuses to let me play it.
BUT I was able to play RE4 the other day...as I die of happiness. I am not scared to announce that I am absoluty a horrible shot, and it usually takes three or four shots to kill someone when it should only take two, possibly one if I do the funny kick. So that's going to take some practice, but I'll get it. I was so happy when RE4 was a nominee for Best Game of the Year for VGA (which I am totally watching! December 10th, I have control of the TV). Something that really bothered me though was that almost all the nominees were war games, racing games, and sports games. There was a catagory specifically for RPG's which was nice, but still, there wasn't much variety. I don't think I saw a single platformer on there....and the best magazine nominee? Xbox complete or whatever the hell it's called? I totally disagree with that because it's a consol specific mag. Game Pro would be my choice, it gives you a little bit of everything. But nobody listens to She-Geek. Gamespot for best online news though, I was totally in agreement with that and voted for them with a smile on my face. :D
Anyway, gotta go help Mother-Dear with paperwork. Why am I helping her, you ask, after having that fiasco? Because I am getting paid, that's why.
