This just in: text is actually readable find out more at 11

Boredem is killing me, I'm watching Bones on Netflix, typing this blog post out, and this is just about noon. This is not the first time that I've done this. It makes for bad, ideas in the old egg salad.

Black Ops: The shortening

I got Call of Duty: Black Ops in the mail the other day from GameFly. I started playing around 2 pm, and finished the single player campaign at about 8:30. Not that it wasn't interesting, but the story felt obviously padded. All the characters where pretty two-dimensional, the plot was ok but seamed alot closer to animated loading screened rather than intrinsic counter parts to the game itself. It was interesting only in a sense that i was closer to getting to the juicy multiplayer. Lets face it, the real reason you would get this game is the multiplayer and zombies.

I go by [NSFW]Johnwedd , playing team type stuff on XBL.

As of late

Nothing is really going on lately, bored nothing. Just doing absolutely nothing. Just me and my brain.

I've been imagining myself as a MMA fighter. The idea that the form is torn from most martial arts and forced into pure functionality. Now i know i don't have the discipline or motivation to follow through, but it's a good fantasy i suppose.

I'm also still reading alot. Mystery novels with a splash of super natural to keep it interesting.

Math Drill is done for now....

I just added a loop option to math drill and committed, then posted the .PY in the downloads section so it's good to go. I made sure to show proper respect to the Brain Bacon Clan and insert the Blog URL in the closing credits. Apparently i did it right before everything shifted to read-only on server maintenance day so yay me!

King Critter has made some head way in his effort to log on the school wi-fi today so kudos to him. I have no clue what Jake is up to so screw him, :P

no Shiny objects

oye, if you can believe it, a severe fuck up in my school funding has left me without books and alot of stress for me. I'm going to keep on keeping on in this case; work with what i have to the best of my ability. of course that means nothing if my financial aid doesn't pull through like i hope. Yeah, my college career is now in the hands of hope and bureaucrats; i'm doomed.

in other news, i recently played and beat borderlands. It was amazingly disappointing,  the end boss was obscenely easy. and when you have 3 iridian weapons, ammo becomes negligible. pointless even. i had an ultra rare revolver that regened bullets! it fun but damn, easy.

new stuff and shiny objects

Ah internets, is there anything you can't do?

In recent news, i got bioshock 2 in the mail from gamefly on thursday, and now it's monday and i already dropped it in the mail to go back. Not saying that it was short, but it is proof that it isn't any longer or shorter than the original. However, it failed in a few other key places that make the game merely passable rather the perfect successor to the "'shock" series (i count system shock 1 & 2 for obvious reasons).

First of all, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the premise, being a big daddy was pretty cool, and let me mow down splicers rather strategicly approaching one at a time like i did in the original. The downside is that now, you have to take 3 to 4 minutes setting up trapps and using up health and eve hypos trying to set up for when your lil'sister is about to harvest adam. I hated this aspect, and found it easy to die so many damn times that i eventually gave up twowards the end and simply saved the lil'sisters outright. Less adam, but less hassle for me over all.  Lastly, is that alot of the new plasmids either make the game entirely too easy, or to strange to truely enjoy. I found that the new trap plasmid was cool in novelty, but having to use them in practical application, was pointless and more trouble than it's worth.

In other news, i have a new side-project. called BrainBacon, for your perusal. Its a playground for my creative writing stuff, critiques and ideas are accepted, but the most part, just enjoy it.

A little fun with Games

I used to style myself as an amateur game designer, that didn't last long. It's not that i don't know or understand the concepts behind it all, or how to design a game to begin with. I just had no patience and no motivation.

Nothing has changed in that area; Not one damn thing. Except my need for shiny objects and need for funny stuff. While browsing through SomethingAwful i came across a photoshop phriday that i had looked over and laughed at many times before. Random Video Game Generator.

its fun!

Caribbean Goblin Underworld , now that's my favorite so far. Or rather one that seams plausible. hmmm, You guys think it would be to hard to make a pencil and paper version of this?
