Wow Michael Jackson just died, thats goddamn outta left field. Its a trip cos i just watched Captain EO for the first time at BBDs place last weekend. He was definitely a freak in his later years but that does not discount how amazingly talented he was in his prime. Hes on that short list of Celebs that i find it significant to acknowledge their death.

thats Ed McMahon, Ferrah Fawcet, and now MJ. Technically David Karadine too but i dont think it counts when they go out in a sex act :U

Holy crap! Red Faction: Guerrilla is a scream! More people need to be playin this so i can kill you up in multiplayer @_@

So much destruction and mayhem. i cant go back to non destructible environments after this X_X

So i finally saw T4 with THE Raymond Knight, yesterday. WTF was everyones problem with that movie? I thought it was damn entertaining, yeah maybe my expectations were lowered by part 3, but even i enjoyed that one as an action flick, if nothing else. People kept saying there wasnt a war against the machines in this movie so you can imagine i was damn surprised to see a war...against machines...happening on the screen :O

Terminator 4 was Mad Max with killer robots. They had Motorcycle bots and eel bots and megatron, and massive post apocalyptic mayhem. It was WAY better than i expected it to be.

Yeah there might have been a tiny flaw here and there like the "Arny bot" throwing around John Conner around in excess but that can easily be excused by the fact that it was First Gen. c'mon people, nothing ever works right out of the box XD

Sheesh i dont get the trendiness of taking movies so damn seriously :b

holy sheot!

did the birthday thing this past weekend. Playing hookey from work today. The weekend after last i got to party with the talented and fun keto_galin from so cal, and got to meet Straydog for the first time. Both awesome folks to chill out with and bs :D

This past weekend i ran off to my usual haunts. i dont care much about my birthday but i love chillin with my runnin' crew when i can. We saw Drag Me to Hell. it was very campy and MIND NUMBINGLY LOUD, but there was goat demon action in it, and over all it was atleast amusing. Other than that watched tons of old movies and played the hell out of games as per usual :3

Today i play catchup might try to continue the daily demiglenn thing i've been doing on FA despite the month being over.

OH this weekend me and kitelessd are going to Phoenix AZ to party with NARSE and his gang. Its gonna be a bad movie mashfest!! :O

That guy has a ridiculous collection of obscure and trippy flicks @_@

It has come to my attention that Swine Flu is now upgraded to HAMTHRAX!


That is all.

So i moved again! Gadamn did a year go by already!? Time is a quirky thing indeed. Anyway, the majority of my stuff is out of boxes but im planning on wall mounting my TV which should clear up some space. Had a fun lil house warming party here last weekend also. Lots of friends, movies and drinkin of course. Also now i finally live in a house with an accessible garage! I can keep my bicycle in it. The door actually OPENS :O AND i live on flat land (in a gadamn dangerous street area) so i've been doing tons more bike riding in just the last 2 weeks. Theres TONS of restaurants and major shopping centers within spitting distance too. Also a huuuuge park with a big fuggin lake, just 2 blocks away.

I guess the balance is the old place was a really stellar house on some gorgeous property, with a killer view of the bay. Where as this is a modest house in a suburb, but the location is fantastic all around :D

Honestly i already feel my art flow a flowin again, its like having big black cloud removed from my head @_@

To aid that process as well as out of frustration for the last 2 months of art constipation, i've been doing what i call the 30 Days of Demiglenn. Basically im drawing a demiglenn pic every day till my birthday. Got off to a rocky start but so far i havent missed a day yet. Tho more than once it kept me up late cos i either still procrastinated or changed my mind on an idea at the last second X3

Fun thing is the wacky suggestions people are throwing out. i fear this may go all Ruby Quest on me before the month is out XD (i wish XD) I hope to add some friends who i've always wanted to draw during this thing but we'll see. So far everythings been a bit sketchy or halfassed.

fun fun fun.

damn i hate moving, BUT holy crap things went EXACTLY as planned :O

For my next trick ill preform an elaborate vault heist ala Oceans 11 XD

Friday i managed to procure my work truck, but i really wanted to make sure i got it back before 6pm, at which time the gate to the yard is closed for the weekend. I didnt wanna be stuck with that truck all weekend. I actually managed to get the whole thing loaded up with all my large furniture in 2 hours! AND i single handedly got the giant, blue couch on the truck as well. It really helps that my job is very physical labor intensive :U

More news to come as things develop and i get my TV mounted on a wall XD

Why is it nobody advertises or reviews the small time games on XBLA, PSN, and WiiWare?? I never see any comments, previews, or reviews on the tiny stuff being released exclusively for either console. I mean theres a bunch of great games out but i wanna know which ones have staying power, fortunately Xbox atleast hooks it up with demos of all their games. Also i dont think Nintendo is pushing awareness of the big Cave Story Project.

http://nicalis.com/blog/

So far it looks like they're doing a fantastic job with the game, rumor has it they're gonna hook it up with added content of some kind. I looooooooved playin Cave Story, and i'd happily buy it on the Wii.

Now of course the immediate reaction by some dopes will be "why would i pay for it, when its free?"

The NUMBER ONE REASON is to support the guy who put his heart and soul into making one of the greatest freeware games EVAR!(And in hopes he might make a prologue talking about what happened during the first invasion of the island)

Number 2) Play it on a 20" monitor or a 36" TV, while sitting on a nice big couch?

Alot of people are bitchin about them tightening up the graphics, but honestly i've heard theirs gonna be the option to play it in its original format, or in the new one. Plus the upgrade doesnt really take anything away from the retro feel IMO.

Other than that, theirs a ton of stuff im constantly thinking about getting on Xbla its just a matter of if theirs much online action involved. Also need some new puzzle games, wtf hasnt Magical Drop come out on the Wii yet!? And i wasnt too sold on the SciFi Puzzle Quest. What really kills me is a theirs a great puzzle game on the iPwn where you turn the phone around and the pieces fall into different places, its clever as hell. Im hoping it gets ported to one of the other hand held mediums.

Ok amongst other things my Sansa Mp3 player his circling the drain. Of course it'd be RIGHT after i let the 2 year warranty expire. I've really enjoyed this music player for the last 4 years (i renewed it before the last warranty expired)but i let it slip by and now im thinking its time to make the jump to a totally different kinda MP3 player.

At first i avoided iPods cos i was already using small time mp3 players before they became the thing to have. Then i avoided em cos they were trendy and in-your-face, and i was fine with what i had. All my mp3 players have been EXACTLY what i want out of a music maker. Simple interface, user friendly, plug and go. Hell ill even admit im a bit of a luddite. But more than one person offered me free ipods just so i could see what the big deal was.

If Invasion of the Body Snatchers has taught me anything, never accept free pods from people. It ALWAYS leads to mind control and lots of unnecessary running.

Anyway one of my best buds kitelessd finally pushed one in my hands and said atleast give it a try. So i did, first off i did NOT wanna have to deal with iTunes. I always felt that iTunes was an unnecessary part to the process of putting music on an iPod. And i was right, what a pain in the ass, more so it wanted to force me to use entire folders of pictures to put em on it. Long story short this thing pretty much demands i change my entire organizational system just to make it even halfway useful.

I can now officially say i hate the iPod from experience. I cant believe that fuckin thing is the phenomenon it is.

I've had 5 MP3 players before the iPod mini. And all of em were get up and go! Just plug em in and BAM! Folders go here, music goes there, feel free to add some pics, yer good to go. So after 2 weeks of fooling around with that thing i graciously returned my gift and held on to my Sansa, tho kiteless did give me an 8 gig version of my sansa which does great, but has alot of bugs in it, like it keeps wiping its own memory for no reason X3

SO one day it occured to me....HEY! Sony pretty much INVENTED portable music. Lets we forget the walkman *salutes!* So i hit up BreastBuy this week and nabbed a Sony Walkman Mp3 player on a whim. and HOLY FUCK this thing kicks ass! Its even BETTER than a Sansa! Cos now i can actually just put everything in there by FOLDER and it acknowledges everything based on folders if i choose to. I can arrange the folders by all kinds of wacky conditions, and shuffle the music accordingly. I am happily carrying around music and pics once again!

Now i just need to get a fuckin radio for my car again. What a pain in the ass thats been.

HOW BOUT THEM TAXES EH!? I hope nobody got too familiar with the warm embrace of PROCRASTINATION!!! XD

"Not i." said the dog

Thanks Seth


Also theres this huge protest in the spirit of The Boston Tea Party going on around the country, its about fuckin time people got tired of Uncle Sam jamming his fist in its ass.

If i had to play thru this game by myself it wouldnt be much to speak of, but the co-op element makes RE5 fun as hell! I wanna go back thru 2 and 4 with a 2nd player running along side with me!

I've been playing co-op stuff on XBL with irc_goliath for the last few months and i couldnt have a better partner in crime. I would never have toughed out Gears of War with out him. More so have smashed through it on normal AND Kick My Ass difficulty!

Seth has gotta be one of the few people i've ever played co-op with who can actually tolerate doing a stage over and over and over and over and OVER till we beat it! XD

I havent had this much fun since Battlefield 2. But thats whole different realm of group play.
This definitely contributes to my lack of drawing lately tho >_>

I do miss drawing, but i love killin fiendish bitches!

AGAIN!

Gadamit! My car stereo died for NO reason last saturday. Im pissed! I HATE driving with out music. I did some hunting and getting a new stereo from BreastBuy is a fuckin rip off! they charge out the ass for installation per pair of speakers, and all the radios are over priced. Fortunately a coworker of mine knows how to hook it up on a stereo system so im hoping hes gonna come thru for me in the next few days cos i aint going a week like this. Im gonna jam my car into a crowd of pedestrians just to hear something! ANYTHING! D:

So i went to visit my family in the gulf a few weekends ago. Wow i've got the fountain of youth genes on my dads side. I have an aunt whos like 94 and shes still sharp as a tack, got all her mental capacities and everything. Ill admit thats one out of 4 older relatives, 3 of em have succumbed to the standard elderly ailments over the past few years, but over all i think my future is lookin pretty nice ;3

Speaking of which at the end of the month ill be moving to Fremont. It sucks ill be that much further away from work, but atleast the rent should be considerably cheaper. More on that as things progress.

A series of movies everyone should watch atleast once a year: Back to the future! I popped in 2 and 3 this weekend, and gadamn if it isnt one of the most awesome trilogies ever! The SFX STILL hold up gadamn fantastically, especially by todays standards. So many movies i've seen today that just dont manage to immerse you in the film like these did.

Also, Flying Train is right up there with this

Too many of my friends complain about feeling old cos a movie they saw in the theater as a kid hits a 20th anniversary, or an actor dies, or a song they loved is now called a "classic". PAH none of that makes me feel old, means i've got more experience than anyone younger than me who tries to give an opinion ;D

BUT THIS



THIS makes me feel old...why? Because 15 years ago this pile would not have existed. Hell, even 10 years ago if i DID manage to hold on to this much change this long i'd IMMEDIATELY take it to the arcade, and spend the rest of the night killing bosses of every shape and size...

Thats right! Acts of maturity and responsibility are the things that i find scary as we travel through adult hood @_@

.....heeeey...wait a second...its not that im getting old ITS THAT ARCADES FUCKING SUCK TODAY.

*phew* well at least theirs a logical explanation :3

THIS on the other hand.....

Anyone out there able to answer a question for me? What would i have to do to improve my Hyundai's acceleration? I know is a POS but would i have to buy a whole new transmission or something? i dont know crap about car mechanics btw :U

THEY ALMOST GOT ME!!!


I was hanging with Jace and Skant when they showed me a new game on Playstation Network called Flower.



It is unarguably the most beautiful, and serene game i've ever played. Its beyond calm and atmospheric, totally making you feel like you've been whisked away to a wide open field of solitude surrounded by nothing but the sounds of nature and the wind.

Later that evening i was telling a friend of mine about it and he said "so you need to spend $10 and sit on the couch to get in touch with nature?"

MEGATON!

I ALMOST bought Flower till he made me realize that! I already have a hillside covered in grass and nature in my own back yard i dont play with! Why would i spend 10 fish skins to do it in front of a big screen!?

I cant stress enough how beautiful and amazingly detailed this game is, but its just damn retarded when the entire focus of a game is to substitute a pleasant spring day :b

Where was this song back in 1998 when my life was at its suckiest! XD

Ok wtf is everyone talking about Watchmen like they knew what it was before last week? In my entire life i never heard of Watchmen before the movie was released last friday or whenever. Now everyones like "Oh man its only the greatest graphic novel blablabla" then how come in all the years and all the millions of conversations i've had where nobodys talkin about nuffin, Watchmen was NEVER brought up? :b


I think you're all makin shit up.

Look What i seen! Man i love my job cos i get to drive around and find stuff like this totally randomly! Its just sitting in the lot of some building in the industrial district, a fairly empty place. I had to get these shots with my cellpwn cos my camera is currently dead. Gotta get better pics tomrrow

( Cut for pics )
