So hawt.

Metroid Prime II: Echos is almost too hard to be fun.

I’m not joking.

Remember those ice beasts that shoot freezing ice at you and you can only kill them by exploding their ice-crusted asses and then shooting them until they pop in a neat gory explosion? (heh heh. i liked killing those guys.)

Now picture one of those fuckers as a psycho aggressive lizard, with sharp-ass horns that take out about 25hp a hit, and they shoot not feezing ice, but electricity that follows you the fuck around and comes at you the second you move out of close-combat-with-sharp-ass-horns range. The thing is still only vulnerable after you explode the plating on its ass, but the amount of vulnerable surface area seems to have been halved compared to its ice-beast cousins.

Now picture it with about 4 times the amount of defense and/or hp as the ice versions, and imagine that it can also swim, and will proceed to chase after you as soon as it sees you, no matter how long you hang out in another room hoping it will stop scraping at other side of the door hoping you’ll come back.

Now imagine that these fuckers always come in pairs.

I’ve died more times (3 times) fighting these lizard things than I have in any of the bloody boss fights (1 time so far).

I hate them. Deeply. I need a weapon-upgrade or something.

It’s just so totally awesome when I search and search and search my bank’s website and my account pages looking for the answer to a specific and simple question, finally give up and email customer support, and then not five minutes later I find what I’m looking for.

The same kind of thing seems to happen when I’m trying to figure out a problem with my computer too. I’ll google and google and finally give up and ask someone, and then I’ll suddenly find my answer.

I wish I could email the support system again and tell them to ignore my first email, but I don’t think it works that way.

Metroid Prime 2 arrived on Monday. Yay for ebay and accidental winning it for 20something dollars. Tuesday was my day off, so guess what i did all day long. Needless to say, by 9pm yesterday evening, I was pretty gross. Unshowered, still in pjs, smelling of garlic (I ate nothing but spicy garlic fried rice)…but I completed 22% !! The game is pretty cool. Targeting system isn’t as fast as in the first one, and there are way too few save points, but whatever. It makes me happy.

I’ve really got nothing brilliant or intelligent to say right now.

I scored the battlestar galactica soundtrack today.

I rule. And so does it.

I also scored an awesome collection of sound files from Firefly. Every single sound and music clip from the DVDs apparently. I love thepiratebay.org. :) So far, my favorite clip is the 19 seconds called “Reaver Theme”. It’s got Jayne at the end going “god. oh god. oh god.”

In Other News: mood swings suck. badly. But I went for a nice long bike ride… and then made the mistake of sitting down and resting right afterwards, so now my legs are really really sore.

Body is sore for other reasons too, which is related to the mood swings. But fuck if I’m going to get into that.

*sigh*

I have to go feed Cody’s fish now.

I don’t ever ever ever ever post these meme things. don’t get me wrong, I do them. I just don’t ever post them. But I’m posting this one. I found it in ’s journal.

Which Website are You?

The quote for the MSN result reads

“You are many things to many people. You try to find what people are looking for, but you’re not very good at it. You suck.”

Hahahahaha.
