So, apparently, I got modded because someone found one of my posts "offensive" (OH WOE IS ME!). If you want "offensive" go read posts in OT or System Wars. Seriously, are people on this website now so lame? I have been good as to following site rules for the past 5 years. I have been a good girl and yes, sometimes some of the things I post are questionable...hhm, questionable like the revised TOU? I can't believe people are offended by the word "boobs."Boobs boobs boobs boobs boobs boobs breasts? Go ahead, ban away, because I'm leaving anyway!

Seriously, I'm surprised I get modded for "boobs" when you can go into OT and look at semi-pornographic pictures and have discussions on how much you hate religion/Christians and what kinds of girls you like to bang. But I get modded apparently for saying that a certain alien video game character has boobs or lack thereof or not. Oh the horror! I didn't know the rest of the forum can be Sodom and Gomorrah but my posts have to retain the look of a Puritan!

Finally, I think my 5 years is up here. I could go further and say bad things but I don't want to. So, to the few people who enjoyed reading my posts, sorry. Mods and losers ruined it.

For all those that want to remain in contact with me, you better let me know by 11/19, because then I'm randomizing my password, and logging out permanently, assuming I'm not banned by then. If you are REALLY interested in still having discussion with me, I have a facebook account. Or, you can add me to your PSN friends list: toxic_jackal. Also, you can send me a private messege on gamefaqs as well (because I sometimes post there).

BUT YOU NEED TO LET ME KNOW BY 11/19 (assuming I'm not banned by then). Because I'm ditching this hellhole of a website. To all the Christian Union people I enjoyed my discussions with y'all but I'm gone. I did enjoy our little discussion group of 4-5 people and I must say I will miss you all.:cry:

Decided to get an original xbox today for $30 and Halo: Combat Evolved for $10. The system itself looks to be in pretty good condition (mfg. date 2002). I'm hoping it doesn't clunk out in a few days or a month though; I only have a 14 day warranty on it. :( At least the controller looks like it was barely used; the whole thing came with the console, a controller, and all the cords. I'm disappointed that I sold a bunch of dvds/games to only get $28 in store credit, so I just decided to pretty much pay for the entire xbox/Halo game.

I've heard that while the original xbox no longer supports multiplayer/XBL, it still supports local play. By local play, does this mean "old school" where you plug another controller in to play with a friend?

As of yesterday (May 13th) I am no longer an undergraduate. I have graduated from college finally. After 4 years of BS I will no longer have to put up with the crap and terrible professors I had the joys of meeting. The only things I will miss are the few friends and maybe 1 or 2 professors who were truly nice to me. In the next few years I might decide to go for my Masters but I'm just mentally drained. I've had enough of schooling. Still don't have a job, but everyone tells me it's getting worse year by year. The people I do know that have jobs have no idea how lucky they are right now.

Until I find something to do I will be working part time at my old job but my dad is trying to find a new job for himself. No idea where that will leave me if he decides to move, because I will be dragged along as I have no money. I see moving out as disastrous for myself because I literally hoard books, video games, and more books. I have so many books...and I hope it doesn't take 3 months for me to receive my diploma in the mail. FAIL

I have a Jewish friend who can't seem to stop showing so much hate on "southern" people (however he defines those). I'm assuming he means the stereotypical view of rednecks and shotguns. It really is pissing me off, and I live in the "north." I can't stand all these annoying stereotypes of "southern" people. He views them as backwards, uneducated, alcoholic, and Republican human beings. To me, these problems aren't regional. Americans all have the same problems.

I know many very uneducated people who claim to be educated. Take my planetary geoscience professor. As a scientist, I would consider himself knowledgeable. But this guy is clearly an idiot in my book when it comes to theology and faith. He just comes off as a snobbish individual. He appears to be one of those "I know everything" people and he constantly brings up his non-religious (atheistic?) beliefs in class which have no place in a science class. I took this class to learn science, not atheism (for all those people claiming to keep religion out of the classroom, please keep your atheism out of the classroom as well). Just because you have a PhD does not mean you are high and mighty. This is one reason why I have no love for any of my geology professors.

My point is that I have come across backwards, uneducated, alcoholic, etc. people everywhere. I know people who may be college-educated but I still consider themselves backwards and uneducated in morals. I know educated people who are alcoholics and I know several "uneducated" people who are alcoholics. I have met uneducated people who are intelligent, and I have met educated people who are not intelligent.

My dad's side of the family is from Tennessee. They grew up poor with no money, yet they were very conservative in how they spent the money they did have. They did the best to educate their children. They are definitely not perfect, and my family is definitely not perfect. My best friend's family fell apart because his dad did drugs and beat his mother. Someone tell me how us "northerners" are better? We're not, and for those that think we can stereotype based on "north" vs. "south" should go shove it.

That is all.

I really would appreciate if someone would read this, because I need to vent.

So I don't understand what it is with all the bad news today:

1. For the life of me, I totally forgot that once I graduate college my health insurance is cut off of my mom's plan. I feel screwed. I don't know why I didn't see this coming. I have heart problems so how the hell am I going to afford going to those appointments with my cardiologist now? It's like $1,000 to get one of those electrocardiograph things. Now I am beginning to see what is really wrong with this country. Insurance companies are allowed to "legally" screw American citizens over. One more thing to worry about in life.

2. Some lady recruiter calls me and told me that she [unfortunately] specializes in contract or contract-to-hire jobs. I should have just said to hell with even going to meet her, because contract jobs are BS. You work for 1, 5, or 6 months only to get your ass kicked out then. And there's no benefits, so no insurance. I need full time jobs with benefits aka health insurance yet I'm still stuck at step 0 in find a job. I don't see the logic in companies doing contract-to-hire jobs. This concept is just so inefficient and it...pisses me off.

3. I don't know if I'll be able to pay back my college loans. My parents set it up in a way where they started making monthly payments as soon I started 4 years ago, so my dad has been paying hundreds of dollars in loan payments for me every month. He's getting tired of paying them so he told me once I graduate he's going to stop paying them, even though I don't have a job yet. That's totally understandable that he wants to stop paying them, but I'm having no luck finding anything right now. I have the Stafford unsub loan and Parent PLUS loan; I'm assuming he was paying $500 a month for my PLUS loan. Yet he tells me the PLUS loan is a fixed rate so I may not be able to lower the monthly payment. FFFFFUUUU

I really hate this damn economy. I feel like college is a wasteful experience that wastes money, and your degree is a piece of paper that does nothing. I don't believe jobs should be handed to you, but I also can't believe how the job market has degraded so much in the last decade. It's unbelievable. I literally can't find any new entry-level geology jobs and full time jobs are hard to come by. No health insurance if I can't work full time.

I have come to the conclusion that I am going to start drinking. I don't even like beer; it tastes like crap, yet I'm beginning to steadily drink it now. Only light ales but I'm fearing I'm going to turn into a hardcore alcoholic like so many geologist students I know. At the same time I can't really stand the taste and it doesn't make me feel good.

Although, drinking a bottle of beer while playing video games with your friends is quite entertaining, especially when you're making commentary. If that's one thing I'll miss about this hellhole of a school, it was making hilarious video game commentaries with one of my friends. I love that while we were playing the "I am Alive" demo on the ps3, there will be no more "I'll be back soon, I'm going to go kill myself" or "no more sneak-sneak on the thang-thang" comments; no more "itch me Wardens" for Dragon Age, and no more "I should go" Mass Effect comments.

And for some reason, my laptop does not read some of my dvds. And this has happened only with animes; I tried popping in my Silent Mobius dvds but my laptop won't read them. WTF is this? As much as I hate my old dead laptop, it at least was able to play ALL my dvds. *Does not understand*

For those that care, I may eventually just stop coming to this website all together. I wish I could just stop using the internet because it's getting old and boring, plus all the anti-religious comments I see on here make me lose faith in atheists/agnosticism/nihilism, etc. I also have lost much faith in my Protestant brethren. At least we're all on the boat to hell together!

So, if I trust you enough and you want to stay in contact me, I *may* provide my facebook page to you. Though beware, I don't post there that much; when I do, I tend to post mind trash, and I do use some bad language. I wish I could just not work the rest of my life and play video games.

Cheers.

And for those interested, this was the honey+orange ale my parents bought. It's really the only beer I like because it doesn't taste like crap. Let us all drink and be merry.

Okay, in the 1 1/2 months I've been playing the Mass Effect 2/3 games I did not know you had to manually install any mods to your weapons. And, I didn't realize this until I actually paid attention to the stats screens in multiplayer...as in, actually bothering to see what other players equip to their characters. Then when I open up the weapons menu I notice each weapon comes with two slots, and you press the square button to modify.

So the whole time I've been buying or getting mods in single player...I did the full playthroughs in ME 2/ME 3 without ever applying any of the mods to my weapons. No wonder I sucked so much, but I do plan on doing a second playthrough eventually in both games again. This time I'll do it correct. Thank you mindless multiplayer for making me realize this, as well as learning how to play an Infiltrator class correctly.

I mean, I just don't get it. Why are so many female characters in fighting games (or any other) barely wearing any clothes at all? Am I going to save the world by wearing skimpy clothing? Maybe I would fight naked if everyone else was doing it, but who would want to see sagging boobs and sagging penises?

And I mean, female fighters in games like Mortal Kombat or Soul Calibur are shown with not only huge breasts, but high, firm breasts. Hello? Let's face it, boobs sag in real life just like a man's penis Unless your breasts are incredibly small, then they are going to sag. Sagging is natural and wearing a bra screws up the natural process of your boobs being exposed to gravity. Testicles, Penises, and Boobs are external body organs so of course they are going to be exposed to gravity naturally. So why aren't men wearing bras for their penises? If it were up to me I wouldn't be wearing a bra at all, but society tells me I have to do it. **** you society.

I guess males don't want to see real naked female characters with sagging boobs though. Just goes to show how much of an illusion video gaming really is.

I am proud to say my boobs are natural. Go me!

Honey and Orange Ale+Fish and Chips+ME3 Multiplayer=One Good Weekend

I took the jump into Mass Effect 3 multiplayer and I must say, I really realize how much I suck at this. Some key things:

1. I'm the world's worst sniper (Infiltrator class). Usually what I do is I apply the Tactical Cloak (for those that don't know; it makes you invisible for a few seconds) then target/aim with my sniper rifle. This is the correct way of doing things, but at least 50% of the time I'm missing. Aiming for head shots is rather difficult and often I miss because enemies move too much.

2. Other people suck. I'm playing Bronze (the easiest level) and we just seem to fail at teamwork. I know we play for fun, but I often find that my teams get wiped out usually on the 6th wave of enemies. I've only just finally gotten through 1 complete mission (destroying all 11 waves of enemies). Not to mention, I've had instances where we would get to the 8th and 9th waves, and the Host just decides to leave the mission, thus ending the mission itself. That really pisses me off.

3. Ammo. I keep hearing people tell me there is at least 1 box of ammo near the spawn points but I never can find them. And usually, someone else would get to the ammo crate(s) before I have the decency to find them. I can't snipe properly if I can't find ammo, but then again, I need to learn how to be a better sniper and stop missing.

4. Trying to snipe when I have Brutes and Banshees on my ass. I don't really know how to snipe against them because they are just overwhemingly powerful. Trying to get a clear headshot on a Brute is next to impossible for me because they're constantly moving.

5. My player ratings suck. I don't feel like I contribute properly enough and I often find myself with at least the worst ratings out of the other 3 team members. Obviously I try not to pay attention because we're not competing with each other...often it feels like I am competing with other players and it takes away any fun.

6. Stuck with the worst weapons. Obviously I like my Mantis sniper rifle but to have quicker cooldowns, I have to carry less weapons. I'm stuck with a crappy Shuriken. I like the Shuriken in single-player but it just can't take down larger and more powerful enemies. I have like 3 other weapons but they all add immensely to my weight. I just have no clue what other kinds of weapons I should be using (minus the sniper rifle).

7. The microphones from other players. Dammit, please do not use microphones. It's the reason why I got a ps3 instead of a 360; so I wouldn't have to listen to people screaming and whining through their microphones. Not to mention, unneccesary background noise. I'm not sure if there is a way to disable hearing them. The only thing I could do is mute my tv during missions.

So, I probably really piss a lot of players off because I suck so much. But then other players piss me off because they are either A) really good at FPS or B) they suck. At least I have not recieved any hate mail yet. FPS just ain't my kind of thing, but I'm glad I'm not trying to kill other players. That's the one thing I do like about ME3 MP; you are supposed to work together against waves of enemies. The problem is people are still competing with scores anyway and we all massively fail at teamwork.

Commander Shepard would probably jump off a cliff if she saw my "contributions" to the galactic war effort.

I'm 22 years old and I hate cleaning my room. I pretty much have to be told to clean my room. Now I have to start cleaning up the rest of my room because assuming I get a job within the next few months and need to move out, I have to have a lot of crap out of the way. So far it hasn't been working that way...I've thrown lots of stuff away and will be donating all my clothes, but I have found I can't part with the majority of my old toys or dolls.

The current nightmare I'm dealing with is cleaning out my closet. So far I haven't found anything dead. That's a relief. But one interesting thing happened while cleaning out the floor in my closet. I actually discovered something that has been lost for years, probably since my early middle school years. It's a season 2 digivice.

That's the exact one, with blue color. I literally thought the thing was gone for good. It was about a month ago I started throwing a nostalgiagasm and I became obsessed with digimon again. I remember seeing these used season 2 digivices being sold on ebay and reminiscing about the one I used to have. While unbeknownst to me there was one sitting well preserved in my closet.

The only thing that sucks is the clip thing on the back is missing, the thing that holds the batteries in. Assuming I can get some new batteries and find a way to hold them in the back, this thing should be as good as new and workable. Although, I don't know what kinds of batteries it will take. There is some very small text on the back that I can't read that may say what batteries the digivice takes. I'm hoping this thing will still work when I put some batteries in because it was my favorite digivice and season 2 digimon are my favorites of all the seasons.

Next thing to clean out: under my bed.
