The World of Warcraft

Things happen, and you end up with a copy of World of Warcraft, apparently.  I must say, even though I've only just begun, it is rather fun.  One day, I'll be able to join up with everyone else on the server that I know and go do stuff with them...  'Til then, I've got a long road ahead of questing and butt-kicking.

So, in other news, the Christmas "present" from EB (by present, I mean money obtained from workin' my arse off) I got is my new shiny Mario Kart DS.  It's red and has some Mario Kart decals on it, and it's friggin' awesome.  I think I may end up trying to get that new Electroplankon game comin' out next week; it's basically a game that allows for the creation of cool music and stuff.  It was one of the coolest things Nintendo had to show at E3 (much cooler than the GB Micro, to say the least).

Other Christmas l00t includes a LEGO rendition of the Millenium Falcon, Shadow of the Colossus, Guitar Hero, LEGO Star Wars, Trivial Pursuit stuff, d20 Modern stuff, and other stuff.  I thank the friends and family that bothered to get me stuff, 'cause, honestly, I really don't need much...well, the monitor my parents ordered for me as a month-late birthday present is highly appreciated, since doin' stuff on a television and not in high-def sucks unless you're playing Guild Wars, in which case it is okay.

It was most definitely good times having Clint back here.  Guitar Hero madness, DDR insanity, Rivergate Mall wandering, Moe's, Jason's, Panera, whatever it all was we were doin', it was grand to say the least.  If nothing else, he reminded me just how cool it is to play DDR in the arcade.

Speakin' of which, it was quite an experience.  I had someone there that was pretty much equal to me in skill, but superior in stamina compared to me.  Who was this contender?  An Asian kid no more than 10-12 years old.  I must say, he's pretty good; he ended up doing a better job of trying Paranoia Survivor than me, mainly because I was already winded from 2+ hours of previous play.  I also felt good to play Can't Stop Falling in Love Speed Mix on Doubles and pull off a B.  I just wish I could've started playing when I was his age (which, I really couldn't have, since DDR didn't even come out 'til 1998).  There's no telling how good at it I could be now if I did...  o_O

Poor Marissa, she somehow managed to bruise a part of her bum, enough to the point of keeping her sorta-bedridden for now...  *sigh*

Anyways, it's time to go to work.  Take it easy, everyone.  Clint, we've gotta have another day like yesterday.

t3h 3b h4xx0r!

Yeah, I totally owned them all with my mad discount-stacking skills.  I got over $300 worth of Game Boy/PS2/GC games for about $150.  It made me happy.  Especially since now I just have to go in search of the old Game Boy games I want to get, since I have nearly all the GBA games I could ever want to play.  I\'ll haveta get another copy of Zelda: Four Swords and FFTA and a link cable, so Marissa and I could do some mad linkage.

And, my god, Animal Crossing is one of the most addictive games ever.

And Devil May Cry 3 can still own me any day of the week.

I have only one final left, and, of course, it\'s the toughest one I\'ll ever have taken thus far; well, either that, or one of the most important ones to take, since this will either make or break my grade in there, quite literally.  Lessee here...  700 points possible for the class, and 200 of them are invested in the final.  Out of the 500 I\'ve been graded on, I probably got a measly 300-350-ish.  Well, maybe closer to 375, but yeah, not doing 2 25-point assignments will hurt the grade.  So, if I were to make 500 points for the class...  That\'d get me a C.  ...Damn, I guess studying will be much recommended...  Especially since this is one of those pre-requisite-classes-for-another-class type of class...  A required class for the class I\'m taking next semester...  Crap.  Must get a C or better, or else I get to retake it next semester and limit my work schedule.

Alright, time to get to studying.

Investmental Return

w00t for getting some more cash off of my textbooks!  All the more to play with as I attempt to totally take advantage of my employee discount tomorrow...  Mwa ha ha ha ha!  I will have all the Game Boy Advance games I could ever desire, including Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls, Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga, Super Mario 3, Fire Emblem 1 & 2, Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission, and perhaps a few more on top of that.  Either that, or I could forget about getting so many and grab my own GBA instead of being stuck with the GB Player on the \'Cube.  So many possibilities...  Why, heck, I could actually bother to get a DS...

...And how \'bout the usage of the FFXI soundtrack with Guild Wars?  An amusing idea to say at the least.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear of someone else hearing of Custer\'s Last Stand for the Atari the other day.  Marissa\'s friend Caitlin is really cool.

Anywho, I must take my leave and get ready to join Funki and Marissa in some mad mad mad mad mad mad mad questing.

Any who wish to join us on Guild Wars is more than welcome.  I started my own guild, and we have kick-ass capes!

A New Worldwide Holiday Created!

A reenactment of events that occurred not too long ago...

Soul Calibur 3: \"HAHA, you cannot defeat my Chronicles of the Sword mode!\"
Me: \"Yes I can!\"
*fighting occurs; I get whooped for the 20th time today*
Me: \"Or maybe I can\'t because I suck.  Forget you game, I have a girlfriend!\"
*gets done with game...girlfriend goes to grocery store right before he gets finished with game and doesn\'t tell me she\'s leaving so I could accompany her*
Me: \"Well, damn, I\'ll just play something else, like Guild Wars!\"
Guild Wars: \"HAHA! My Frost Gate mission is t3h 5uxx0rz! u r n0t t3h l33t!\"
Me: \"Lies!\"
*I start the mission and fail miserably*
Me: \"Well, damn...  Apparently I cannot play video games anymore to save my life...  At least I have friends that care!\"
*I get on Phusebox, only to find zero feedback from people*
Me: \"Well...that\'s about as pwned as UT getting pwned by Vanderbilt...\"

Thus, I, Christopher L. Davis, do hereby officially label today, November 27, the Worldwide Everyone-and-Everything-Must-Hate-Or-Attempt-To-Destroy Chris Davis Day.  Okay, the name\'s a little long, I know...I\'ll work on it later.

Yeah, definitely beginning to feel a little fat/lazy/slothlike.  It doesn\'t help any that Marissa has kinda lost interest in doing such things.  So, on December 9, I shall go out and get EyeToy: Kinetic.  Because a game that trains you to physically kick ass is quite, well, kick ass.  I mean, it\'s bad when I get more sleep than usual, only to find myself desiring more sleep.

...I want to get up, get out, and start training to pwn everyone.  Well, pwn anyone that stands in the way of good and righteousness, anyways...  But, sitting around and playing Soul Calibur 3 and Windwaker ain\'t gonna do much.

*sigh*  So, what am I gonna do now, while I wait for Marissa to get back from the grocery store (an expedition that always takes entirely too long when her mother\'s involved)?

...I\'m going to hope that I can still win a game of Solitaire.

EDIT: Yes, you guessed it!  Apparently, I can\'t even play a game of Solitaire anymore.

Where have all the good games gone...?

Hah.  360.  Hah.  Worst console ever.  It\'s apparently so bad that even the developers don\'t care to program properly for it.  I\'ve learned from a customer today that Madden \'06 for the Xbox 360 is not only terrible, but also quite bugged.  That\'s just friggin\' awesome.  More evidence that the 360 ain\'t worth the time of day.  I like it.  Eat it in the anus, Microsoft.  Especially since the one game I thought I might want to play from you guys is horridly overpriced for being on PC versus XBox...  Honestly now, Fable: The Lost Chapters should be $20 on PC if it\'s gonna be $20 on XBox, not $50.  You\'re fired.  I\'m not buying it \'til it\'s $20.  \'Til then, I\'ll be buying other stuff...

The day after Thanksgiving...  It actually would\'ve been a really good day except the timeframe I had to work.  Since I got stuck showin\' up for work at 6:00am and had to work \'til 2:30pm.  The time I had to work really was the only bad thing about it all.  It was super busy, but actually a pleasantly active workday.  Waltzin\' around trying to sell people everything...  It was almost as though I were p-leveling in salesmanship.  And, hey, we all know that p-leveling is always good.  So, anyways, our store ended up being one of the top 50 EB stores in the nation for sales.  Oh, yeah, we know what we doing.  \"Take off every Zig.  For great justice.\"

Marissa felt really bad about ignoring me over the phone for half an hour, me thinking that she was still in the bathroom.  I was more just sitting there thinkin\' \"Dear goodness, is she trying to pass a large cannonball through her bowels...?  Is she alright?\"  Yeah, she was perfectly fine; she just thought she told me bye on the phone when in actuality she told she\'d be back after going to the bathroom.  So, because of her guilt, she felt irresistably compelled to buy me something...  We\'re now the proud owners of a Game Boy Player, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, and Zelda: The Minish Cap.  We would\'ve gotten Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 if they had it in pre-played, but they didn\'t... *sadness*  I highly recommended the aforementioned games for the GBA.

Y\'know, honestly, between all the Game Boys, there have been so many good games...  Super Mario Land 1-3, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Zero Mission, Mario and Luigi, FFTA, Minish Cap, anything Kirby-related, especially Kirby Pinball Land, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Golden Sun, and now Donkey Kong Country stuff...  That\'s only \'bout half the stuff I remember...  Honestly, the Game Boy has always been consistently a great system, with the GB Micro being the sole mistake on Nintendo\'s end with the Game Boy; yeah, if the Micro actually supported the original Game Boy/Game Boy Color games and didn\'t require a dumb adapter for multiplayer games, it really would be a better seller.  Let\'s face it, you can redesign a system only once and have it be widely successful; the NES, the SNES, the PS1, the PS2, and from GBA to GBA SP...  The redesigns were all well-done and well-implemented, and they only went through the redesign phase once.  Something to think about...

Oh, and why is Soul Calibur 3 now my most favorite game ever?  Because the hidden Type-X Armor Set for females lets you create the one and only KOS-MOS from Xenosaga.  When I unlocked it, it made me so happy.  It\'d be the best game ever if equipping all the pieces on someone enabled her to have the KOS-MOS voiceset.  *KOS-MOS beats Kilik* \"My external appearance is down 5%.  Shion, I need to be cleaned.\"  Ah, yes, that would be awesome.

Anyways, time to go unlock stuff in the super-awesome Mario Party 7.  Take it easy, everyone.
