And now, this. I've gone through with all my ideas for the name of a blog and I was like "okay, let's try the craziest name I can find!" Funny, it was completely open, ripe for the picking. Then I was like "I don't want to focus that much on being an Aspie. I want to find something different!" So I tried everything my Aspie mind can dredge up. Nothing. Everything I tried was taken. So I went with my craziest idea for the name of this blog and here I am. Trying badly to come up with a half decent post. Nothing.
Not even my psycho, hyperactive feline is doing anything to even mention. He's probably sleeping in a box somewhere. My roommate...well, forget it. He's as exciting as a log because I swear he's doing a good imitation of one being sawed. If he even snored...
"You're more creative than I am," he told me. Apparently, not creative enough to come up with anything good for a blog post.
In all, just a lazy sunday early evening in summer. Thank goodness for air conditioning.
As for what I do with my life...well...I do nothing. -_- I've been on Disability since I was ten or eleven, so I think I've gotten used to accepting money from the government. I can't wait until January when I start going to college. Maybe then, I can do something with my life. Well, other than video game design as a hobby. That's assuming that I don't have to spend years working on my crappy math skills. Even in my Junior year in High School, I couldn't even pass the whole year of Freshman-level Integrated Math I. -_- And I'm an ASPIE!! My mind is supposed to THRIVE on logic and math is the very language of LOGIC other than science! :(
I just hope that maybe my next blog post is better than this "this is who I am" kinda post.
And now for more rambling...
I know I mentioned that video game design is a hobby, so I might as well mention my current big project. It's a fan-made game based on my favorite franchise. I feel kinda pathetic that I'm 22, just now getting into College, and I still play video games. I know some video games I like are actually normal for people my age to play, like Final Fantasy, Fallout, Borderlands, BioShock, and Oblivion. But my favorite one of them all is Pokemon. I guess it's because it's the first video game I ever beaten. Or that it was my first handheld game that can be called a game. Or just that the game allowed me to beat it with any creature I liked. Sure, it was linear to a point but it never felt like I was completely on rails. (I'm staring straight at you, Final Fantasy 13!!!)
That and I guess I never got over the whole childish-ness of the games. Even now, I still find myself excited over the fact that a new group of Pokemon games are to be released in a couple of months in Japan. Or that the more I examine the games, the more intricate they appear. or it could be that I'm just an overgrown child.
But still, video games aren't my...wait...what was I saying? Video games are just about my life, as much as being tethered to the wonder that is known as the internet. Without either, my life would just implode. I mean, I've been playing video games since I was three when my dad had the Atari 2600. The one we had had the wood finish and that thing never broke for as long as we had it. Too bad we moved and lost that piece of gold. :(
Well, to make things really random, I just went on Amazon and found that they're going for $40. I remember playing Pac-Man, Asteroids, Megamania: a space nightmare, Space Invaders, and Super Breakout every chance I had. And now I'm happy with my 360, DS, DSi XL, with the chance of getting my GameCube, NES, and PS1 moved from Alaska to my current residence in Washington State. :) And maybe then, I can hunt down a copy of Final Fantasy 7 just so I can beat it...yeah, I've tried playing it two times already and each time something happened:
The first time: Roommate had it and a PS2. I got to get super far into the first disc and then everyone split up.
The second time: my former roommate loaned me his copy of the PC version. The laptop I had couldn't play it without a keyboard so it was useless.
So yeah. I hope maybe when I get my PS1, I could finally buy the darn game so I can finally beat it. I guess this is what happens when you barely touched Final Fantasy until a friend loans you a PSP and their copy of Crisis Core and you beat it within three days. It was one short game. Not even Dawn of Souls is that short. Even though I haven't touched that, Final Fantasy 3, 4, 6, and 13 in a while. I guess I just wish that 13 didn't bother me as much as it does. I guess it drives me nuts because up until 13, I enjoyed the series and I thought it was a good idea to pre-order 13. And now I barely touch it because I've had to restart my save file from the beginning three times already.
The first time, I realized that I completely screwed up the Crystarium for my characters. The second time, I found out that the method I was using the first time was correct and I had to grind to fix my issues. The third time, my 360 red ringed when my roommate was playing it and decided to replace it with a 360 ELITE. To my astonishment and annoyance, apparently the elite can't save to a hard drive that came with the entry-level 360. Za? I paid money for a 360 and its hard drive and it can't be saved to with an Elite? Microsoft, why? Why must you torture me so?!
Oh and to make matters worse, roommate put an open bottle of Mountain Dew next to the not-in-use hard drive that had all of my save files on it that I was going to buy a transfer kit for and set me up for the events that were to come. I had accidentally knocked over roommate's cube of dice when I tossed something to him (can't remember what) and I had felt guilty and started picking the dice up. I saw a spider near me and I did what any sane, red-blooded woman would do.
I ran away screaming.
I didn't realize until later that in my rush to get the *beep* away, I knocked the open bottle of Mountain Dew over, drowning the hard drive. I haven't gotten the transfer kit because apparently, the hard drive is now toast. Roommate told me how it uses solid save states and that any liquid would make it never ever work. So now, I'm barely an hour into Final Fantasy 13 as compared to where my first save was, which was well into the second disc. -_-
But to make up for it, the hard drive that came with the Elite came with all five expansions for Fallout 3, one of which I had been missing from my previous hard drive. :D
Well, enough of my rambling. I'll post something up when/if I find anything else to post. I'll try to keep it from getting too geeky for you guys.
~Until Later
