    OH MAN, SISTERS ARE AWESOME
    But I'm knd of... too tired to write about tonight in detail right now, so I'll wait until tomorrow. HOPEFULLY I'LL ACTUALLY DO WHAT I SAY THIS TIME. Maybe.
    2:23 pm
    ...BUDDA-WHA?
    Okay, On a whim last night... I decided to start playing PPL again. You may recall that earlier this year I actually BEAT MEWTWO after, you know, lots and lots and lots of pain. I usually set a goal for myself to use less than 99 continues to get to the final Gary, which is essentially the last level since if you lose to M2, you go back to Gary. I kind of treat it like a final boss with 2 forms, lose and start over.

    I also usually fail at this goal.

    MISERABLY.

    But... I actually made it last night. I did the unthinkable: I got to Gary 2 in 1 sitting, and only used 93 continues! Gary then bumped me up to 99 and I stopped for the night.

    Then today I tried again to own Gary and M2 and, well, failed. Then I tried again a little bit ago and... actually succeeded O_o This victory feels a lot more hollow because it wasn't the product of INFINITE PAIN, though it does probably mean I'm getting a bit better at Tetris Attack (and by extension PPL)

    The worst part is I was taking a break from homework to play PPL... and won in less than half my allotted break time. Then I made this, and now I got nothing planned =|a

    He has lived a peaceful life, so why... why must he suffer so?
    Join in on the discussions of the Trix Rabbit and how he's the most universally sympathetic character in the history of man here. We've actually gotten in to some fairly deep conversation there.

    My sisters can legally drink now!
    YAY! I don't think they really care much more than I did when I turned 21, though >_> Maybe a little since they're actually extroverts.

    BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY...

    TO 7 YEARS OF CONTINUOUS FRIENDSHIP, GUIN. In 14 more years, our relationship can get drunk.

    You guys have no idea how convienent it is to have two important events fall on the same day. Unless you're like Guin or SLink and have the same birthday as someone else, like a pair of jerks >( I mean awesome folks.

    /me blows his party whistle.

    This is freaking hilarious.
    I don't read comics, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a guy talking about what makes a bad comic. Enter Linkara, one of the members of www.thatguywiththeglasses.com I recently watched all his stuff and his most recent episodes is about a comic based on doom. This video is pretty freaking awesome. The way he does the voice is priceless, and the guy is just so over the top, it's GOT to be a huge joke, and I love it. Have a looksee!

    Seriously, if you like cheesy dialogue, then this is awesome.
    4:06 pm
    Cause in jokes are fun.
    *Dated one hour ago.*

    HOLY FREAKING HELL, IT'S THE TARDIS!

    Be right back!

    ... my face hurts now. That'll teach me to ask furries such cruel questions =(
    1:06 pm
    Leave me a comment saying "Cthulhu fhtagn" wait, I don't care for the Lovecraftian mythos, um... say "I like kittens!" since I know everyone who reads this does! Or at least the vast majority.
    I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
    Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
    Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

    Feel free to also chuck in 5 questions yourself, it will save me spamming your respective journals.

    Joannac asked me these questions, in her sleep deprived state.

    1. What is the best and worst thing about being a buffalo?
    The best: it's a pretty good injoke! And I had a lot of fun wearing my "not a buffalo" sign during the XKCD Meetup.
    The worst: It's gotten OLD AS HELL. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't thrown around so often, but cerise and basket can't stop referencing it. I don't dislike it (anymore), but it's just BORING. Come up with something new, guys!

    2. What is the best and worst thing about living in TX?
    Best: Well, honestly, I probably wouldn't have gotten into the game design program without being in TX, and I'd still be wandering aimlessly from major to major, accomplishing nothing.
    Worst: SUMMER HEAT AUGH! I used to be resilliant to the summer heat, but after helping someone move in the middle of summer, I have since developed the OH SO HANDY ABILITY of getting sick if I'm out in the summer heat for too long. Yay =|a

    3. What is your favourite jelly flavour?
    LIQUID NITROGEN FLAVORED JE- oh wait, I don't like jelly.

    4. Who would win a battle between you and Guin?
    Well, seeing as he's my dark Fuchsia God, is in possession of my soul, is a troll and (reportedly) a ninja and a robot, and has BATTLED A BEAR WITH CHAINSAWS FOR ARMS AND EMERGED VICTORIOUS...

    Me, definitely me.

    I know Aikido! =D

    5. I arrive with $10k in travel money. Where are we going to holiday?
    Oh man, that's a really hard one to answer as... I don't really like vacationing!!!! BUT, since you came over with all this cash specifically to go on vacation, it'd be pretty lame to go "meh, whatever let's just chill out here."

    I'd actually suggest road tripping traveling around the states and canada visiting all the awesome people I call my friends who live nowhere near Texas and chilling with them for a week or so and then moving on. We'd probably manage to blow all 10 Grand that way pretty soundly =D

    When last we met, he was the master and I was but the learner... yadda yadda.
    You know, Guin's hopeless without me. Seriously.

    When he has problem writing a scene? He calls on me.

    Needs a new and exciting character? He calls on me.

    Wants terrible proofreading? Calls on me.

    Monkey King Watching? Me.

    Teasing Slink? Me.

    Venting about his Gramma? Me.

    Nagging him about getting a job? M- okay, maybe this one could be construed a little negatively.

    Has a terrible day and needs cheering up? ME!

    This post had no real point other than me suddenly realizing "hey, you know, for all I've said about me relying on him, he sure does rely on me too! SYMBIOSIS IS AWESOME!"
    11:38 am
    Being sick truly sucks
    And I need to stop spelling "Truly" with an e.

    Can't work on stuff well, can't think well, can't really do nearly as much as you like. I hate it =(

    Quote of the indeterminate period of time!

    "You know what's a cool name? Angelo" *beat* "It has both Angel AND Jello in it"

    ...Wow, been a while since I did one of these. Indeterminate is pretty accurate >_> It's before I even started tagging things! Or else I never tagged a quote.

    Edit: wow, the tag is one letter too long. Lameface =( Oh well, it gets the message across.

    GOOD GODS, GUIN AND I ARE NERDS
    We just spent... maybe... a good 5 minutes figuring out when the numerical value of Fahrenheit would be larger than the numerical value of Kelvin when they're both reading the same temperature, JUST BECAUSE WE WERE CURIOUS.

    It's when F or K is more than 574.5875 (that's when they're equal)

    BROOKLYN RAAAAAAAAGE
    Sorry, but this song is just to freaking catchy not to share. Hopefully at least some of you will agree.

    Sigh, I gotta stop using days off as slack days.
    ...yeah, I think that says it all.

    What happened to my plan of working on -something- at least 2 hours a day outside class?

    I think I need to enforce that a little better.

    I'll post everything I know about the 600 AD bit tomorrow. Hopefully my headache will be gone by then.

    Reason number 142857 of why 7s are so freaking cool.
    E Bugle of W: 8 is less interesting than 7 =(
    PianistOfRaielin: XD
    E Bugle of W: 7ths are cool.
    PianistOfRaielin: AC is gonna end up being mega long 8(a
    E Bugle of W: 1/7th is .142857 repeating.
    E Bugle of W: 2/7ths is 285714 repeating.
    E Bugle of W: Same numbers, same order
    E Bugle of W: different starting number.
    PianistOfRaielin: XD interesting!!
    E Bugle of W: And it works for 3, 4, 5, and 6 too!
    PianistOfRaielin: that is really cool hahaha I never knew that
    PianistOfRaielin: OH 7 WHY YOU SO COOL?????
    E Bugle of W: 3 starts with thr 4, 4 starts with the 5, 5 starts with the 7, 6 with the 8
    E Bugle of W: 7 is the magic number!
    E Bugle of W: that's why! 8)
    E Bugle of W: so if you know what 1/7 is...
    E Bugle of W: you know what all 7ths are!
    PianistOfRaielin: holy cow
    PianistOfRaielin: THAT'S AMAZING
    PianistOfRaielin: lmfao I'm not even being patronizing THAT IS SUPER COOL
    E Bugle of W: =D
    E Bugle of W: When I first figured it out.
    E Bugle of W: I had more or less the same reaction =D
    PianistOfRaielin: but I'm a math geek so of course I would think that
    E Bugle of W: I mean...
    E Bugle of W: one day I was like "Man, I know all the fraction --> decimals for 1-10 but 7..."
    E Bugle of W: Cause they're all pretty easy and tame.
    E Bugle of W: so I sat down and started memorizing the 7ths
    E Bugle of W: and was like "Wait... these... are all the same?"
    E Bugle of W: And it was glorious.

    MICROPHONE MAN
    So, Guin and I were talking about creativity and stuff, and I mentioned that my major problem is getting stuff written down. He mentioned that when he was armynating, he had a notebook that he'd jot notes on, and I remembered that I wanted to get a microphone for my ipod so I could do the same thing, only with voice memos.

    So I went to the Apple Store ASAP cause they were gonna close soon.

    And, uh... they don't carry Microphones for iPods there... =|a

    So I guess I'm gonna search on the GREAT INTERNET for one. I found one that looks interesting, but it's 30 bucks... dunno if that's worth it, but maybe? I dunno.

    I'll find something, though. And it'll probably take me awhile to get used to having it, but I'm sure once I do, I'll have a good note keeping device!

    Edit: Found one for $13 that does everything I want it to and has great reviews. The $34 one was more of an interview mic than a note taking mic, so I'm glad I kept looking and found something cheaper and more geared for my intentions.

    OH NOES
    SEKANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

    Well, Slink finished chapter one of his questy thing, so now's a good time to go CHECK IT OUT!

    It's getting pretty good. Though there are some... artsy errors every now and then. But it's a tough job! Can't always be accurate!

    SO YEAH, I know I plugged it before, but I just did it again! Go check it out, and be amazed!
    3:45 pm
    PROJECTS!
    Current, future, and potential projects*:

    current:
    Elementia... STILL.
    4.0 version of 600 AD from CT! YEAH, I'M DOING IT! WOO!
    The now unnamed tactics game
    Make sure Sekani stays alive, despite Guin's meddling.
    School stuff

    Future:
    A dragon age module, with a bunch of school peoples helping out

    Potential:
    Said questy thingy from yesterday
    Some drawing draining. Basic stuff, nothing crazytastic

    *Scrapped projects that I won't work on any more are not listed here. Nor is anything writing wise (by which I mean novelesque, not interactive fiction). If I write again, maybe some of those projects will be brought back, but I'm not now and don't intend to for a bit.

    Wow, I thought I had a lot more than that >_> the school stuff is 2 or 3 projects, but nothing too scary.

    I already started working on the 600 AD bit. I'll probably gush a bit more about that as it develops <3 WE SHALL SEE!

    OH YEAH, the thing of awesome that happened today
    I intended to write about this after it happened, but got caught up in other stuff, then forgot all about it when I made the first post today.

    The thing of not so awesome was I prepared for 2 projects today: presentation of an assignment and a test... both of which have been delayed to monday =|

    BUT THE AWESOME THING... needs some setting up.

    So, my Interactive Writing Class, as most/many/all/a few/some/-4πi/64 of you know, is taught by Daniel Erickson, Lead writier for bioware Austin. But, as lead writer, he kind of has duties elsewhere as well. In this case, he had to go to SFO and Lucas Arts Entertainment (You know, since he's working on Star Wars Old Republic MMO). Anyway, when he's away, we get a sub, as often happens. But the cool thing is the sub happens to work for him.

    Anyway, after class, I decided to talk to the sub about stuff like... what bioware writer's training was like, what it was like writing there, etc... and I mentioned that I was interested since... game writing was something I'd been considering for awhile now, and after the course I think I'd be able to do it... SOMEWHERE, just not at Bioware.

    He told me not to sell my self short, and that Bioware's totally had loads of junior writers blossom into great writers... and when I asked if anyone from the ACC program had gotten in yet (since Daniel's taught this A few times now), he said no... but that might be because no one has asked him yet.

    ...I'd been thinking about asking him what he thought of my chances in the last week or two of class.

    ...I guess it's good to know my chances are a lot greater than 0%! \o/
    8:05 pm
    No, I'm not a zombie.
    BRAIN.

    BRAAAAAAAAIN.

    Why do you think so hard about projects that will almost certainly NEVER BE.

    I've already laid out a basic level design for one of those questy things, if I did one =| And I already know the basic plot, the major twist, etc... and I'm considering figuring out what rooms connect to what rooms (without putting anything in them, just doorways, stairs, tunnels, etc...)

    ...Silly brain. The project just wouldn't be all that good if I did art/without art, and it just wouldn't be as fun if someone else did the art, thereby removing them from the game =(
    4:43 pm
    I really don't have anything to say...
    But I'm determined to post every day this month... so here you go, a useless sentence taking up space on your friends page.
