this entry is more video game ... stuff. a new game i got (and my thoughts on it atm) and those last two lbp keychains I needed for my collection. :x

( KEYCHAINS FIRST )

( so resistance: burning skies came out today... )

a week or so ago (I FORGET WHEN :D:D:D) i played the demo for spec ops: the line. AND IT WAS REALLY NEAT. i like the environment, and despite it being in a city that's covered almost entirely with sand (and destroyed by sand storms lol) it's not /all brown/. Not that brown games bug me, but people bitch about it a lot. and i bet people will bitch about that game "being brown" anyway lollo

I'd been watching the preview images/videos for this game for a while now (over a year? i think?) but I hadn't planned on buying it right when it came out... but now thanks to that demo I've pre-ordered it off amazon. oh, and amazon is giving me free $10 for pre-ordering it from them. free amazon money and a game? sold.

I also pre-ordered the new Resistance vita game even though the studio behind it has that terrible "playstation move heroes" game on their roster oh god why BUT I'M TRYING TO GIVE THEM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. But Insomniac is done... so... :'c I'll have to deal with it.

BUT THIS BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT. I feel like I have too many uncompleted games. TOO MANY. And now I have to decide which one to play next. I'm hoping I can finish two full games before Spec Ops comes out (end of June) i can probably do that. i could probs do more if i wasn't so intent on replaying games i've already played. killzone 3 is a cool guy though.

i have other uncompleted games, but out of the playstation 3 and the Ps vita games, which should I play next!? (also Resistance: Burning Skies isn't out yet, but will be on Tuesday, so i added it anyway)

Also E3 is next week!!! NEXT WEEK!!! NEXT. WEEK.

i don't even know what to expect, other than obvious things, but oh golly gee whiz... i am looking forward to the unknown. btw, if anything inFamous related is announced the internet might implode, and it might be my fault. just a fair warning.

also looking forward to anything from insomniac. hoping to see more of overstrike. :x The devs keep tweeting about playing the game SO I HOPE THEY WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW AT E3 NEXT WEEK. im too excited.

and i might be getting sick BUT IDC BCUZ VIDYA GAMES.

( i was way too amused by this so i have to share it )

this post has no purpose i was just way too amused by that.

the end.

ya'll are probs aware Or maybe you're not about how much I'm like pants-crappingly excited about the "Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale" why didn't they go with the prototype title "title fight" :'c

but a lot of people aren't.

most of the backlash i've seen for it falls into two arguments.

1) "its a smash brothers rip off"
2) "sony has no fun/interesting/memorable characters to make the game good"

OH. OKAY.

i disagree 100%. obviously. and i'm not just saying this as a sony fangirl either even though i am, no shame. just because sony doesn't have any series that have run as long as a lot of nintendo's characters doesn't mean they aren't good or interesting. in fact, for me personally i find i like sony's characters a lot more. most of the nintendo ones feel more like mascots than actual /characters/ to me. and i know this doesn't make my opinion "right", but i was like the nintendo fangirl until nintendo crushed all my loyalty to them with the wii. never again.

before i got my ps3 i was not even super into any video game fandoms. BUT NOW LOOK AT ME. :( can any of you even imagine me not being a video game fan...

idk maybe i'm just taking it too personally but its like rrghhgrurg. whatever you guys.

also i don't see how it's bad its a "smash brothers clone". lol playing as all the characters i like in one game? aww yeaa. why is this bad? are they afraid sony might build upon the style of ssb and make it better? and if it's worse, who cares? i mean idgi. there is no more original ideas in gaming anymore anyway. did gran turismo come out and then they said WELP NO MORE RACING GAMES BCUZ GRAN TURISMO IS IT. WE'LL JUST BE STEALING FROM THEM IF WE DO IT NOW.

what about all the platforming games? WELP MARIO EXISTS, LET'S NEVER MAKE ANYMORE PLATFORMING GAMES.

i don't understand this logic. or mayeb i'm just butthurt everyone is hating on this without really seeing much of it.

and you think i'd be used to this when i end up liking everything that is unpopular. i don't even do it on purpose ;___;

oh oh oh! OH! and e3 pressers have been confirmed for june 4th. it's a monday again. i'm going to spend all day sealed in my room glued to my tv as i watch EVERY SINGLE GAME ANNOUNCEMENT EVER. it's going to be the most exciting day of 2012 for me. what is my life. if only i could go to e3 in person. :'c so close, but so far. crycrycry

last night i was playing more jak x (SURPRISE SURPRISE) and it was super fun and then i played ONE MORE RACE before i was gonna go to bed.

finish race.

check something in email.

look at tv.

GAME IS SAVING FOREVER.

for those that don't know (aka: all of you) jak x has a lovely problem where it saves forever and never stops thus breaking your game file, and sometimes the ENTIRE MEMORY CARD.

i was seriously like >:C but not as upset as i would have been, as I was well aware of this issue before playing too much and I got a second memory card to back up my save. I STILL SOMEHOW MANAGED TO LOSE 10HRS OF GAMEPLAY THOUGH. but 60~ish hours of game play before it breaks? NOT BAD!? I just hope it doesn't become a reoccurring thing. :| also holy crap i did not realize i've played that game so much D:

but anyway it deleted my entire jak x save file and also the 1kish data off my memory card (SRSLY ITS JUST GONE IDEK) and im kind of miffed about that even tho i don't have that many ps2 games.

this is why they need to do jak x in HD so they can have this problem fixed (bcuz it was never fixed in any of the versions :D) and so i can trophies for it. i want to platinum this game ngl

i still love the game to pieces though and idk if i will stop even if it manages to nuke my entire memory card.

i gotta re-earn all my time trial scores now though :D lol

also wondering if i can remove corrupted data off my card. everyone says use the ps2 memory card browser to do it but there is no corrupted data block. im just missing the memory and there is no trace of the broken jak x file :| but whatever.........

TAKE MY MONEY

TAKE ALL MY MONEY

TAKE ITTTTTTTTTTT

/throws money at the computer

you guys ive written 14 fics ranging from 2-5 pages each for this one ship that no one likes from a game no one has played.

and i keep getting more ideas.

i've literally never done this before with anything ;_______;

well unless rp counts bcuz i probs have like 900001 pages of infamoose rp in that case. my cole is so canon you guys dont even know and another 500 pages of dxhr rp lollolo

but that's completely unrelated.

MY ENTIRE LIFE I JUST DONT EVEN.

also i cant stop listening to this song. it was in my music library for like ever and today i put on a random playlist of songs i rated high but hadn't listened to much AND HOLY CRAP THIS SONG IS LIKE DRUGS IN MUSIC FORM TO ME. it just wont stop being on repeat. help.

bonus: be amazed at how my tiny cat can take up 50% of my bed

jet's sister died today too.

i seriously think it had to do with jet dying a bit ago... i don't think she could cope with life without her sister anymore. they were from the same litter, and they did everything together. i can't think of any other reason. she wasn't sick.

now just the brother is left. i hope he isn't too lonely without them anymore.

you guys.

last night i was trying to play MOAR jak x because it's my life suddenly and like the R2 button (THE TURBO BOOST BUTTON IN THE GAME) was getting stuck to the point where it was ruining my races because my character would be like IDK HOW TO TURBO LOOLOLLOOLOLOL and then everyone and their dog would pass me and it was lame in a bun.

AND THEN I WAS LIKE!!!!1 IM GONNA OPEN THIS CONTROLLER AND CLEAN THE BUTTONS. THEN IT WONT STICK ANYMOAR.

so i opened it up and it was the most disgusting inside.

i am never buying another used controller ever. :'c I usually buy my stuff new but I was late to the ps2 land and I got it used at Gamestop like a year ago I guess. The dust and grime inside the controller was nothing like I'd seen. I don't know if they rolled the thing in dirt at some point or not??

i mean look at these, and how it just gets worse:
first glance inside. note the dust on the cord inside the controller.
gross analogue stick
THE GROSSEST BUTTON I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. q-tips would hardly pull the grime off that X button. I just..... HOW DO YOU EVEN MANAGE TO GET THIS MUCH SHIT CAKED INSIDE YOUR CONTROLLER!?

the most disgusting thing about this is that i realized i had been actually PLAYING GAMES WITH THIS MONSTER for this long without realizing how gross it was inside.

it took nearly 20 q-tips and almost 2 hours to clean that controller.

and if it doesn't fix my button sticking issues in Jak X I'm just gonna throw it against a wall.

i made this a while ago. He's tiny. Like maybe 3inches tall. He also took way too long to make and still exploded my arm. YAY ME. There's a wire armature inside him too, but I don't like posing him much (BCUZ IM TERRIFIED OF RUINING IT (my life lol)) but yeah. BTW IF YOU CAN'T TELL ITS DAVID SARIF FROM DXHR BECAUSE HE'S SO COOL NO ONE CAN DENY. obvs older men turn into the most kawaiidesu artsy crafty things. NO ONE QUESTION ME. the only thing im sad about is that making him was way harder/more time consuming to make than i originally thought. the good news is that i didn't spend any money on supplies for him. i already had all that fabric sitting around as scraps *_* except his vest was fabric i colored slightly...but it worked i think.

and i also got these in the mail. And they are super cute and I want moar Sackboy as so-and-so keychains. Jak & Daxter ones exist, because I've seen PHOTOS, so im waiting for them to show up...and there's killzone ones too. i need them.

yesterday i pulled the cutscenes off my Jak X game and made slightly over 500 caps of them. yeah i just what.

there is definitely nothing wrong with that, right?

aaaaaaand i actually started writing something. yay for me? :D

so a while ago some boxes of old stuff were found, and we went through them to get rid of stuff. in one of them, i found the only MLP toy I ever had as a kid. at the time (when i was a child) i didn't care much for them (which is why i only had one) and probably why it was in a random box.

anyway, seeing as though she is a G1 pony and shoved in a random box of old toys my mom used for her daycare children (aka: toys me and my brother had outgrew/etc) her hair was an explosiony mess.

i actually posted a photo of her on twitter shortly after i found her: which is here. check out that exploded hair.

well anyway, she'd just sat on my desk all that time, but last night i did some cleaning and i thought, why not give you a make-over, super old pony?

( and i did )

i did some shopping today even though i shouldn't have. i got some things. Though everything I got was relatively cheap. YOU CAN TELL WHAT I AM CURRENTLY INTO RIGHT NOW, CAN'T YOU!?

uhhhhh yeah i beat all the games in the jak collection already. i still need to collect the orbs for jak 2 and jak 3 though for the platinum trophies. it will probably make me want to flip tables because some of the junk they want you to do for them are annoying as hell but ...................trophies.

but then i got jak x and daxter today (AS YOU SEE) and it took like 900 gamestops to find them (ok 6...) and every place had Daxter but no place had it with a case, and idc if I only paid $2 for it (yes two whole dollars) i want that case. >:I but then the last gamestop i went to i gave up and was like WHATEVER I'LL JUST BUY IT WITHOUT THE CASE but then the copy he pulled out from behind the counter was like a brand new case (with manual even) and i was like HOLYCRAP and it was an exciting day. also jak x was $5. and then i noticed on the back of jak x (and daxter) it says you can connect daxter to it and unlock extra junk in jak x. OH GOODIE. idek what it is but im kind of excited about this. FREE THINGS YEY.

then i also cleaned off a shelf on my desk that had 900 old CDs on it (AND FLOPPY DISKS. I FOUND FLOPPY DISKS!!!!!! my computer doesnt even have a floppy drive...) and i threw all that crap away and made room for PONIES. in my head this shelf would have fit all my ponies and still had room for more but somehow it didn't turn out that way.... :| my friend has 2 more fashion style ponies for me rn too. ....i have no idea how im going to fit them on this shelf.

YEP SO IDK. im not even tired but i should go to bed.

also look how terrifying that Daxter figurine I got is. idk if anyone on my flist has played jak and daxter?! (i am so late to this dont judge me) but ...i...i don't really like daxter. i desperately wanted to like him but i just couldn't. D: i have no idea why but... ugh.

anyway idk things video games ponies lalallalalalal

my ps vita games came today. YEA, I ORDERED GAMES BEFORE THE ACTUAL SYSTEM. don't judge. they were on sale. I'd already planned to get two of these games, but then amazon was doing a buy 2 get 1 free sale so i was like "I GET A FREE GAME!?!?1//11?!" why not, right?

Still waiting on my final credit, and then imma order my vita. AND IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL. i need you, lumines

BUT ONE THING... let me say one thing. vita game boxes (and the cartridge itself) are so tiny...
( fotos )

I got over half the amazon credits I need in order to convince myself its ok to buy a playstation vita. i'm so excited you guys. i heard you can take screen shots and then you can twitter it right from the handheld itself.....without even having to exit the game.

i will just casually spam my twitter with all these hilarious derp things i do in games on my vita. i feel sorry for everyone who follows me on twitter

did i mention i already bought 3 games for it? .......oh. yeah I did. :'D Amazon is doing a buy 2 get 1 free sale, and two of the games I already planned to buy were there, so I pretty much just got a free game. (picked out Uncharted, Lumines and Rayman: Origins, for the record)

oh except one thing.

my car.

my car is doing something funky.

yeaaaaaaa. so i gotta take it into the shop tomorrow morning at way-too-early am and then HOPE AND WISH that it isn't a billion dollars to fix. but with the car reeking of gasoline when i turn it on, i'm not feeling too good about it because if it is, count me into more debt and also no vita. :'c i'll just have to admire the pretty games. LOL.

this is about my luck though. i bet medical issues are going to come up now too, or they'll wait until the day i open my vita to happen and then i'll regret buying it. i should just stop buying things because this always happens

the news about PS Vita is driving me crazy. I just... I cannot resist.

I redeemed a bunch of vouchers from various rewards things I have and will soon have $110 in amazon monies, that, plus whatever my return is (hopefully more than $200 :|) will buy me a PSVita without dipping into my pay check money at all! This will feel like a gift to myself, essentially. And it couldn't have come at a better time!

PS Blog posted about Resistance: Burning Skies and they showed a tiny clip of gameplay during a live stream thing a bit ago. I ... I need it.

I know it seems funny to be excited about a Resistance game after being sad that the series was over... but well, this is the first step Resistance is taking away from Insomniac. I am interested to see where it goes and while the character development in Resistance: Retribution left me confused, the gameplay was still pretty fun. I am hoping this one will be good too. I'm sure it won't be an Insomniac game, for sure, but I'll take what I can get.

Otherwise I will be content to play Lumines for all of time.

oh yeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh im excited.

so i guess i totally just won this thing off eBay a few hours ago. I'm pretty excited about it.

It's made of cloth, and is about 6ft tall. Now I have a 6ft tall display for both inFamous and inFamous 2!! Though I'm really wondering how I hope to snap a photo of it. The inFamous 2 one was difficult enough to photograph, but it was made of cardboard so I could stand it up against something... this is cloth! How does? I'm sure I'll figure something out. Seriously wish I had space enough to put it up somewhere. I should make it a goal to make myself an inFamous museum one day. I have enough stuff by now, I'm sure.

An insider source told me about 100~ of them exist. Lucky Lucky me! I still regularly stalk inFamous auctions, and nothing really has turned up lately. The less I find things the more happy I feel with my collection. I have a lot of things that I've only seen listed once or twice... most notably, of course, the AMP, the karmic Cole statues... and perhaps one that I find a personal favorite, the guide to empire city. Absolutely love that thing. I've only ever seen it listed once though, and it was the one I bought.

Can a talent just be having a large hoard of memorabilia for a video game no one plays? I'm pretty ok with this.

I might start working on picking up a few Resistance items here or there, if/when I have the cash. Just because. I do already have a few interesting things. But as far as games go, its probably one of the most important ones to me. It makes sense, right?

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Zeke from inFamous.

I don't really need to go into why, do I?

other than the fact that he is the coolest bro ever.

batt'ries

i just watched fringe and my head exploded.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

here is a video of my cat being adorable.
