My girls love playing video games. Sometimes though they get together and play and they start talking like they are the charecter and not really playing the game. I, for some reason get irritated when they do that. I'm like play the game or turn it off. I guess since I spent $60 on a game they should play it. I mean they, the games, are not their dolls or doll house. So, am I bad?
Well I figured something out yesterday but it wasn't really explained in the manual.
2016 has been pretty terrible to me as of right now, but I don't want to depress the shit out of you.
Circles is very simple. It's a memory game. You start with between two and six hollow circles on the screen. The circles will light up in a sequence and you have to tap the circles to recreate the sequence. After each successful completion the sequence repeats and adds another one at the end. The game has a series of levels, each with one more circle than the last (from two to six). Complete sixteen rounds of the sequence and you unlock the next level. The last couple levels have lightning bolts and other odd symbols next to them instead of the number of circles, and I'm not sure what's up with that since I didn't unlock that far. But hopefully those levels add some variety to the proceedings; things are a little dry as they are. (There IS a multiplayer for anybody with Game Center friends but I was not able to try it out.) Still, there's nothing wrong with a simple game and if you like testing your memory or are trying to prevent Alzheimer's, this is as good a game as any to try out.
The other day I was in Gamestop getting Saints Row IV and I was told that buy 2 get 3 free sale on toys to life figures was still going on. My eyes popped out wide and I went to take a look. I couldn't think of what Skylanders figures I still wanted. I already got quite a few. So I left without buying anything. For the moment.
But I teach an Intro to Media class and am going to spend class time linking it to concepts like illegal downloading, music streaming, and the propensity for music to advance social justice in my class tomorrow, so here's the blog I'm writing anyway.
Gah. Still have a massive headache. Still hate everythings. My eyes aren't as achy today which is good. I'm having problems sleeping lately since it's so bloody hot. Also, since the blackout lasted so long, all of our food is off - $230 worth of groceries that we got to eat barely any of - and I don't get paid until Monday. So it looks like we're having tinned soup and noodles until then.
Hello all. Last night I spent close to an hour looking for a stupid power-suit in the commonwealth, I have plenty of parts but no frame. What can I say? I get lost easy when I pick up side missions.
Thats right! Jet Set Radio is free on Steam. I'm installing right now! Golden Axe from Genesis is also free on Steam!
Coincidentally, I was playing the latest Neptunia game, and if you aren't familiar with the series its a ridiculous take on the console war with anime girls representing consoles, Playstation, XBox, etc. The new game introduces the Dreamcast and its girlie avatar named Uzume. Here she is:
Notice the orange and white colors of the Dreamcast as well as the spiral logo on her tie. Not entirely sure why she uses a bullhorn as her main weapon. It is quite annoying to use in game. Sounds like those stupid vuvuzela trumpets that drown out every soccer game I've seen. 
It really has nothing to do with the Dreamcast honestly? The weapon I mean. I would have much preferred an ULALA from space channel 5, which fits the games style perfectly, but that goes into a nother irk I have with Neptunia, and that is that it doesn't really go all the way with representing other games at all. It's not like Kingdom Hearts with it'd depiction of Disney worlds, or even Smash Bros with all it's licenced characters and worlds.
Anyhow, here is her altered fembot formation.
Seriously I have no idea how to play into the elemental differences or what weapons are best for each character or where to go next for that matter.
Another comic I've been reading lately is quite old. Batman Chronicles collects all the oldest Batman comics in chronological order. It's really interesting to see where the Dark Knight originally originated from (note: he has yet to be called the Dark Knight). Batman, as it turns out, was pretty different back then. The second issue describes Bruce Wayne as a "bored young socialite" and it's not until the seventh issue ("Batman Wars Against the Dirigible of Doom") that we learn about his parents getting murdered when he was a boy. He also uses a gun on occasion and has purposely killed several bad guys or done things that directly led to their deaths. Egads!
Well Saturday will be here soon. It will be my moving day. It's been a long damn ride but I survived without committing murder which is a goal we should all strive for. There truly is a thin line between love and hate kids. Overall I've learned slot of things from this experience and while it's been hell I'm thankful. Sunday is my CNA exam so positive vibes are appreciated. Hope y'all been good ^_^
