Sheds and Dead Spaces

Hello folks!  It’s me again, your favorite neighborhood Daquine!

Today, I did a couple of things today.  Well, for one, I helped tear apart a tool shed.  Too bad it wasn’t those old aluminum ones either.  It was a big shouldn’t-be-taken-down kind of sheds.  This one went down with a little attitude.  You could tell it was put together so it wouldn’t be flimsy and come apart in two years.  This thing was put together WELL.  Of course, it was put together by my grandpa who was a carpenter when he was working.  So yeah, he got that bad boy to stick together.

The other thing I did today was ride up to Game Crazy.  I picked up Dead Space for $15, not a bad price.  It was cool.  The thing that got me was that it seemed that the everybody and their brother was there.  Two people were at the counter there for the longest freaking time being helped and I was getting thouroghly getting miffed just at the obscene amount of time it took them to finally get helped.  And then every person there was getting helped.  One kid had what looked like at least half a dozen games to trade in, so I was just getting up to a boilling point.  I finally got helped though luckily.  Got the game and got home.

But of course that was when I helped with the shed.  I got a well deserved shower out of it that day.  I’m definantly worn out from today to be honest.  I also found out my MVP card expires in a few weeks.  I should try to get in and do any necessary trade ins if I can before it expires.  I could always go for the Orange Box.  Or something else.  Something with trophies would be cool.  I could go with more trophies.

Plus, my PS3 audio/video cable is missing.  Luckily, I got an extra one since I got a PS2 as well.  The only problem is that it only pumps out the sound for the left channel.  That totally sucks.  I hope I can find my cable so I can play that game the way it needs to be play….minimalist stereo sound baby!  Ha!!

Website SEO Projects and Oddities.

Not long ago, we at www.99seoreports.com pulled a report on a site, which will remain un-named for privacy reasons, was very interesting to work on.  Basically, it was legal weed.  Call it what you want…weed, marijiuana, cannabis.  It’s crazy to really see what’s out there in the world of smoking.

For those of us who are “weed virgins” will find it very  enlightening what is out there as far as the variety of cannabis types and accessories there really are.  There’s even a type of plant called Stunk.  Based on it’s name, I think you can get why it’s called that.  There are accessories called Vapor Vaporizers.  Weird stuff.

If this is the type of sites that I have to look forward to, then I can’t wait to see what other types of sites there are out there to get my grubby little hands into.

I was on IGN.com today, and being a Little Big Planet fan, I thought this poster was cool.  Looks like there’s going to be another costume that is related to Ghostbusters.  Just thought you all would like to see it.

Fourth of July Goodness and Dimensions Storytelling

Well folks, it’s almost the fourth of July!  They birth of the country of the great U S of A!  Booya!  A time well spent for grillin’ up hot dogs and hamburgers that contain enough crap to stop your heart!  Mmm-mmm!

Also, I’ve been thinking of starting another blog section here on wordpress that deals with Dimensions, my big imaginary story that me and a friend role play through.  Don’t think Dungeons and Dragons, because aside from taking notes and using a notebook for ideas for future stories and what have you, the entire “game” takes place in our minds.  That is the sign of the truest nerd.  Yep.  I totally own my nerdness.  I’m sad that way.

But anybody who thinks that would be cool, let me know!  I may add a few early story points and what have you.  I know I wrote some stories a long time ago that would be considered the start of the game.  It centered around my two main characters (at the time) Daquine and Dai, twin dhampirs.  They are both hunters.  What they hunt would depend on what needs extermination.  Well, I won’t go too far here.  When I get a chance to put up some stories and/or excerpts from my stories, you’ll know.

Wolfenstien and DOOM!

{ Tags: , , , , , } · { Leave a Comment }

Well, I know it’s been a while since my last posting, so I thought I’d come out and say “hi!!”  If any of you remember a previous post I did about the trial version of Doom I dled on the Xbox 360, I would like to expand a bit based on that particular blog posting.

A few weeks ago, on June 12th to be exact, I bought, for five bucks on the Playstation Store, Wolfenstien 3D.  I certainly have been having fun with that game, despite it’s age.  It’s a classic title man.  Just classic.  I think it helps that there is trophy support on it too, which does help me want to play through the game and get the trophies.  It very well could be my next game to get 100% for trophies, while the other game being Flower.  I even own the original full version of the game for the PC, but I never beat it beyond playing through the first episode, Escape From Wolfenstien.  But at this point, I’m already about mid way through the fifth episode.  Forgive me, for I’ve forgotten the name of that one.  Anyway.

It’s funny how I’ve played this version of the game more thoroughly than I ever have on the pc.  I think  it’s the trophy support and the controls that I like about it that make me want to continue playing it.

Now, at this point, I can get around to getting to the point of this posting.  I would hope, that after seeing the release of Wolfenstien 3D on both Xbox 360 and PS3, I do hope they release the original Doom titles for the PS3.  I know the 360 has the game already, I just hope they put it out on the PS3.  That would rock socks!  I had alot of fun with Wolfenstien so far, I think Doom would be even better, especially if they do something similar to what they did on the 360.  Adding local and online multiplayer and enhanced graphics and textures.  Here’s keeping my fingers crossed.

Anyhow, catch you all later dawgs, puppies and whatever else is out there!

EDIT:  Oh yes, I have forgotten to let ya’ll know of my current twitter account.  Just find Leshwal, and you will be set for life!  Or until I stop updating….

Saw The Videogame Update

Well, quite a while ago, I did a blog entry about Saw the video game.  I was like, yeah, that’s gonna be a good game.  Note the sarcasm.  Although I thought the movies were good, excluding V, which sucks because of a couple reasons, but I won’t go into it right now.  Anyway, I finally saw some screen shots of the game.  I’m still not convinced it will be a good game.  I mean, come on.

Chrono-ish Triggers and Shadowy Colossi Abound

‘Ello all you folks out there in Blog and WordPress land!  I’m back again to tell you of the inane, strange and potentially boring news EVER!  Well, I can’t say it’s the most boring news “ever” persay, I would say that many of you would hear what i have to say, look at me, and then give me that raised eyebrow of disbelief and mutter a confused “huh?” when I tell you more about the reasoning behind the title.

Anyone who knows anything about gaming will probably recognize two different games in the title of this blog, Chrono Trigger and Shadow of the Colossus.  Well, basically, even though there really isn’t any reason I should be blogging about something as mundane as this, but I thought I’d let you know I’ve beaten Chrono Trigger for the second time, procuring (spelling?) the second ending of the game, Reunion.  This is when Crono, the main character, and yes, “Crono” is spelled without the H, dies, and has yet to be revived before beating the final boss, Lavos.  I know, I’ve probably lost my core audience (what audience…lol) by this point, and I haven’t even mentioned the second game.

Today, I bought Shadow of the Colossus for the ps2.  Again, any gamer who’s kept up with gaming at ALL for the last few years will tell me, “are you crazy?  You’re buying a ps2 title!  Get a ps3 game and get with the freakin’ NOW and get away from the bloody THEN!  Tard Nugget!!!”  And you may ask, what is  a tard nugget, I don’t know.  I just made that up, and I actually snickered at that name when I said it outloud just now.  Yes, I snickered, and I’m smiling about it too.  That’s how big of a dork I am, I laugh at my own stupidity.

But anyway, I got Shadow of the Colossus, and it’s pretty cool for being a “boss only” game.  It would be interesting to see a ps3 version of the game someday for a sequel.  I’ve gotten about three or four colossi into the game.  I’m at the giant horsey one right now.  I”m sorry I don’t know the name of the individual creatures in the land of Colossi.

Well, anyway, I hope this blog was as crazy and weird as I thought it was.  Don’t you all go about your day being a Tard Nugget, ok?  Good.

Remembering Saturday Mornings Cartoons…

{ February 23, 2009 @ 11:31 pm } · { Uncategorized }

I was sitting at my computer looking through some pages on the internet called “You know you’re a child of the 80’s when…” lists.  I’m sure alot of you have looked through lists like this.  Even though some might be different for some of you.  Instead of the 80’s, you may be a child of the 70’s or the 90’s.  What ever floats your boat.  But I for one, am a child of the 80’s.

Anway, I was looking at a list, and noticed that one of the entries told about how cartoons were found ONLY on Saturdays.  This made me very nestalgic.  Back in the 80’s there were no cartoons being aired during the weekday,and there sure as heck wasn’t any freakin’ Cartoon Network.

As a child, I remember coming home from school on Friday, being thankful how great it was that the weekend was finally here.  Not only was it a break from the “horrors” of school, but I knew that tomorrow morning, I was going to get up at the butt crack of dawn and watch my Saturday morning cartoon!  It was great.  It was an absolute staple of my childhood, as I’m sure it is with many other kids of my era.  Watching shows like He-Man and Thundercats…wow.

Not long ago, I thought I would look through the tv listings and see what sort of shows kids were watching on Saturday mornings.  Needless to say I was just floored.  Most of the shows were either absolute crap, or shows you could catch during the weekdays.  The greatness was gone.  The excitment of waiting all week just to watch several hours worth of cartoons was gone.  Oh, what has this world come to?  I realize that is over-dramtic, but in some ways, it just feels wrong when I look at the stuff kids are watching nowadays on their Saturdays.  The excitment and coolness is gone.

Gone….
