Whats I"m Up To

Netscape, you are now my bitch

At long last my website works perfectly, on all browsers...that I know of. I've been fiddeling with my Style Sheets, seeing what might be the problem. Its funny cause in some of my own attributes, I honestly don't know exactly what they do, all I know is that they are there, and they work. I told the blogger sidebar to float to the right and aparently that works...I should probably look that up. But yeah that moved the sidebar where I wanted it, then i just tweaked it to make it look nice. Again its funny cause most of you use IE or something similar so you prolly won't notice the few pixels that were moved around. But I'm happy, its something that should have been done a long time ago.

Well....this was poorly planned....edited

Okay I'm sitting here in PHP like I always do and look at stuff online. I was peeking through Gamespot seeing what games will be comeing out soon.

Sweet Jesus!

In 4 weeks time 11 games are going to come out that virtually every gamer has been waiting for, or is considered to be a blockbuster game. Some more than others obviously. It just seems to me with the Holidays coming soon, they should be spacing this shit out. Let me show you, sorted by weeks. Starts with a bang and steadily just gets kinf of rediculus.

10/24
-Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

10/31
-Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal
-Lord of the Rings: The Third Age

11/07
-Halo 2
-Jak 3

11/14
-Everquest II
-GoldenEye: Rouge Agent
-Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
-Metroid Prime 2: Echos
-Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
-Viewtiful Joe 2

And the other thing is that I just named the really big games that are being released, literally at least 5 other good games come out each of those weeks, and countless other random games come out also. And the Week after all that, literally nothing comes out...like 3 games that no one really cares about. I mean #1 who wants to come out the same week as Halo 2. #2 In one week 3 games I'm dieing to play come out and I'm gonna have to choose. How insane is that? During the Summer when I had money, practically nothing came out. Now I'm in school, with less income because I'm working less hours. And NOW they release all the games I want to play. I mean why don't they release this stuff in the summer, when I actually have time to play it!
Not to mention I'm still in the middle of Sly 2, Katamari Damacy, and soon I'll be getting X-Men Legends, and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door(thanks Cat), just came out also. Just makes me mad cause some really good games are going to be lost in all this. People are gonna have to choose one of these, cause how often does anyone have $250 to spend on videogames in a short amount of time. Plus finding time to play all these games. Honestly, its just freakin ridiculus. For me personally...I can live without GTA right away, and I don't have an XBox so no Halo 2 for me....but I got Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, I'm a huge MGS person, so this will probably be my pic that week. Metroid Prime 2: Echos is the sequal to one of the best and most engrossing games I played last year. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, the sequal to one of the most suprising and most fun games I've played. I mean Jebus why not throw in a new Zelda or Super Mario Game. So in 2 weeks the collective gaming population head's will explode. I plan on not leaving the house the day Halo comes out, and I'm bringing my girlfriend here also RPI will be a dangerous place.

Also the Nintendo DS comes out during this period also. Sweet Jesus. OK I'm out for now.

An Excuse ---Edit

Just so you know I originally had a nice long post last Thursday but it got lost in the browser, and then everytime I went to rewrite it I don't feel like it cause...I already wrote it, and it was kinda long.

I just remembered I finally got my camera working...now I just need to find the cam software again and that'll be back in buisness.

Good Gravy...or Hot Chocolate..Whatever

Wow I never imagined getting a cup of Hot Chocolate could be so difficult. I just got out of my Calculus class, and went to the Student Center. I recalled the old Hot Chocolate machine they had, that made really good Hot Chocolate. But it was gone, in its place was some Starbucks-ish company's machine by the name of "Ratazza". I looked at the options on the machine, no Hot Chocolate. So I kept going to the actual "Ratazza" counter they have. On the menu it said Hot Chocolate, so I scrambled for my change to see if I had 2 singles...after a min I found I did. Then it came to deciphering their size policy of Tall, Grande, and Venti. My feelings on how stupid that is, are pretty much summed up here (Ha HA, that little squirrel slays me). And I get to the counter after dumb people in line couldn't figure out how to order and things broke. She tells me that she doesn't have it...despite it being on her menu..*sigh*, and informs me of the machine and that it had Hot Chocolate. So I befuddledly go back to the machine to see if I missed something. I didn't see anything under Hot Chocolate, but it had Cocoa, and I thought that might be it, I was willing to take a chance. I had no idea how much anything was it had no prices on it, so I fed my first dollar into it, all going well. I figured it had to be more than one dollar, so I tried to get the second dollar in, it wasn't happening. Some nice lady noticed and exchanged a much sturdier dollar to try in the machine, also didn't go in, this machine refused to accept a second dollar. So I just tried ordering on the machine, maybe all it needed was a dollar after all. But it kept denying me and spit out my other dollar. So then I went in to buffet area where they have some drinks...to which I found more "Ratazza" cups and coffee dispensers. **Shudder** But I finally found something, they had Nestle Hot Chocolate packets. Finally, so I dropped a packet into my "Ratazza" cup of the "tall" variety, then went to the "Ratazza" dispenser with hot water, which crapped out on me after like 3 seconds. I looked about and there was a coffee maker which no coffee in it, but it did have a hot water spout on it. So I had my hot chocolate and finally was satisfied...but to be honest the Hot Chocolate, I've had better. Wish they still had that old machine, it was the best!

Update: I had the link to the wrong Foamy Cartoon, fixed now. I forgot they had 2 about coffee houses.

Tales From the Game Journal -4

I just remembered...I'm a big X-Men fan, y'know what with having been reading the comics for like, well probably 10 years now. And I havn't owned a single good X-Men game....ever. Spider-Man and the X-Men: Arcade's Revenge, was the worst and most impossible game ever. X-Men: Mutant Apocolypse, was...ok, but also was rediculusly hard...and I never really got to play the X-Men games for the Genesis. And aparently this new game X-Men Legends is a great game. So I think I have to buy X-Men Legends now....damn my logical mind.

LOL
