so there is construction going on on my street, has been since last week. because you know, why tear up the street when the school is out for 2 weeks. let's wait till they come back. :o

anyway so i couldn't park on my street for a week, and then they said i could "after 5pm on the 13th" BUT THEY LIED and left the TOW AWAY and NO PARKING signs all over the street anyway. jerks.

and lol this might be partly my fault but since i don't have work today (yay) i stayed up RIDICULOUSLY LATE last night, like 5:30am late. it was for amazing reasons except the part where i spent 30 minutes w/ my friend trying to troubleshoot LJs exploding for no reasons (LOVE THAT NEW COMMENT SYSTEM, GUYS, ITS BROKEN MORE THAN YOU CAN SEE AT FIRST GLANCE ;D) but then yeah

AND THEN....

AT 7 AM. jack hammers outside my house. OH THEY'RE RIPPING UP THE STREET AGAIN.......AT 7AM.....WHICH IM PRETTY SURE IS AGAINST THE LAW. but yeah it was directly outside my house and the vibrations from their equipment shook my bed. (i have a bunk bed type thing, and i sleep on the top bcuz the bottom is a couch)

SO I WAS LIKE GRAAAAAARERGGRGRflsdkfakjlfsjkl and tried to wrap blankets around my head and managed to SORT OF fall asleep again but now that i'm functioning member of society again my head feels like i might get a migraine later, probably from messed up sleep.

CONSTRUCTION JERKS.

oh also they trapped my car in the parking lot across the street so i kind of hope they stop being dicks and let me get my car back otherwise i will have to walk to work tomorrow too. GOLLY GEE WHIZ.

SUP FLIST. this post i am going to talk about the video games i played over the course of this year, and such. its basic 100% uninteresting to everyone except me so i won't be upset if you skip this.

i only play dumb games no one else plays anyway :D

( THE THINGS. UNDER THIS CUT )

....not dying?

or uhm, my arm healing itself.

OH EVEN BETTER, moar information on Overstrike. *_* of these three things, this is the easiest to accomplish

i've gotten 1 christmas card today, from pheonixxfoxx and a delicious piece of maple candy...which i have yet to try. i need to save it to enjoy at the best possible moment. i also got that mystery inFamous 2 dvd BUT I'VE YET TO OPEN IT. i want to see what's on it because mystery but the collector part of me is crying inside because it's so minty sealed in its original wrapper. so much dilemma.

i'm too tired to be more coherent

short entry. i have more to say but am too tired to type it all out (LUCKY YOU)

but i got this in the mail today:

I HAVE NO IDEA WHO SENT IT THOUGH. i believe its from the secret santa thing i am participating on in a game collecting forum. but holy shit this thing is so cool i think i died a little.

that's all, really. i'll post the rest of the stuff i got when i get better photos of it. :I

also can it never be saturday. i mean really. i never want tomorrow to happen. someone save me.

so leik i got something cool yesterday.

its rly big.

like

taller than me, even.

( I'll give you a hint, its related to inFamous )

[Error: unknown template qotd]

gee idk. something about this ps3 game inFamous. You've probably not heard of it...and I hardly ever mention it so it's probably a huge shock to you all, huh?

loollollloloololo

anyway other collections, video game stuff...mostly this gen. I have a lot of random figurines related to series that i like. like, I have the Resistance line of figurines, and most of the Ratchet & Clank figures...and 1 Helghast. :'D still wish they would make the actual characters from killzone.. plus the CEs of the same series that I enjoy... this year saw pretty much all of them though. I skipped the Killzone one partly because its freaking huge and also because it was expensive. :'D I still managed to end up with inFamous 2(x3...) Resistance 3 and Uncharted 3 though. ...............ah, and I'm getting an Adam Jensen figurine too that comes with the european Deus Ex CE. it was recently on sale and i got it for the same price as the US CE (but the US one doesn't come with the figure...which retails for $50 on its own. YEA. GREAT DEAL IM EXCITED)

i kind of like to have a shirt or some other kind of thing (poster, if theres room on my wall :D:D:D:D) of a series i like as well. Like, I have the Heavy Rain press kit, EU SE and a poster. Fallout 3/NV CEs and a Fallout 3 poster... Resistance 3 poster. Resistance 2 press kit, Resistance: Retribution EU SE. I also got the comic series for inFamous, Resistance and Ratchet & Clank. and uhm, I downloaded the Deus Ex comics but I don't have them in physical format bcuz im too lazy to see if my comic shop has them. SOMEDAY

I kinda want the Deus EX CE guide as well but i'm not gonna pay a lot of money for it. i have the regular one and im not sure if the content in the CE one is all that different. :I

BUT YEA I MOSTLY COLLECT VIDEO GAME STUFF RN. and by video game stuff i mean sony franchises + Deus Ex/Fallout. im a hopeless fangirl... :D

pogglemen i haven't bought anything for in a long time bcuz inFamous accidentally all my extra money. but I like Wails. a lot. and Hoppip, and Groudon. and bellsprout bcuz he is the best dont even lie my collections aren't too impressive though. IDK.

tl;dr: inFamous is my passion. (but you already knew this)

well this should be interesting..

especially because i plugged it on my inFamous collection twitter and a srs bsns collection forum.

also fun fact, I've offered to middle for any of the international folks on the collection forum...now I am kind of hoping one of them wins so I can have two amps in my house...at least long enough for photo evidence...:D

lets just say...i am glad i already have one...

eh oh what.

and another obsidian employee notices my plush.

how do i cope

so if you've had the unfortunate expirience of being eyebrowaddict or thekayla recently you'd know i've suddenly developed a borderline creepy obsession with deus ex: human revolution.

it all started with a trailer...
( this one, under the cut... )
AND THEN... i got the game for my birthday. sort of...well, my brother claimed he didn't know what games i like (despite me mentioning an interest in deus ex before my birthday :I) and just got me gamestop cards that equaled the amount of a ps3 game. soooo i got deus ex!!!1

idk if i can even say why i love this game. there's a lot of things in it. its so ridiculously shiny (i mean, dat trailer.) and you get mini cutscenes for punching dudes in the face which sounds lame but is actually hilarious and amazing all at once. or maybe its because you can also do things like this. but also maybe it has to do with jensen's perfect hair. srsly i keep talking about his hair. i don't even know you guys. look at this perfect hair.

i stayed up till 3am last night just to beat the game. idec that i still feel like crap and i got like 4 hours of sleep.......aaaaand i still want to play it like 9 more times. delicious platinum trophy. it also has a really cool soundtrack... i might try to get my hands on it when it comes out.

anyway, jensen has perfect hair, you guys. i've never really paid much attention to hair styles on characters this much. IDK WHY I EVEN LIKE HIS HAIR SO MUCH BUT I DO. though Zeke gets +10 for sideburns which are cool too, ngl SO LIKE......f-list, since I am certain none of you give two shits about Deus Ex:HR, so instead plz to share with me who you think has the best hair.

anyone has active yahoo japan deputy account?

if so

could you maybe price-quote me (or estimation) how much it would be for this:
ITS FULL OF MYSTERY
there is a few of them on yja right now and.....i am not sure what they are. at first i thought it was just the japanese promo copy of the game (like the European ones included in the press kits/etc) but then i noticed the disc is branded with "DVD" and not "BluRay" and now my interest has gone up by 70%

its listed fairly cheap so im inclined to think it is probably a disc with a trailer on it...but....i won't know unless i get one, right. and if it is a trailer i am sure it is awesome, since the japanese trailer for inFamous 1 was my favorite

there is also some kind of inFamous 2 DLC code on there too, i think some of them mentioned it was from coro coro? does that make sense? i am not interested in the code (already have it) but the coupon itself is kind of neat looking. >_> the dlc vouchers we get here are like plain text HERE IS YOUR THING.

and this poster i wish it used the japanese box art though.

AND ONE MORE QUESTION, do you think it would be better to try to buy the game from yja? i still want to get the japanese version of inFamous 2 at some point...its so pretty, and the JP release of inFamous 1 is one of my favorites just because its so colorful.

k the end

so festival of blood came out today.

it's really short. like, idk i can play inFamous with the efficiency of a robot but I beat it in 3hrs and I spent a lot of that time dicking around.

I spent EVEN MORE TIME DICKING AROUND (and pausing the game lots) but i already got all the trophies in it too.

..........in one day.

.........best $10 of my life.

NOW I WANNA GO BACK TO PLAYING DEUS EX but if i do my playfire profile won't show Festival of Blood on it in the timeline and YES IT MATTERS. hnnggg i do wanna play more though. at least Uncharted 3 next week is the last new game coming out that I want like burning. I can play it and then catch up on Resistance 3 trophies, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One and Deus Ex. and bioshock.............maybe........someday

festival of blood is almost out.
i will play it 699 times.

in other news, i started playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution last night. It's been pretty interesting so far. I TAKE FOREVER TO PLAY IT THOUGH because i keep giving the guards too much credit. i did my first mission without killing any of the things.

i am however quickly figuring out the guards are really dumb (no srsly, theyre super dumb). you can hide behind a pole 2 inches away from someone and even if he's looking for you he won't even find you. i mean really. a pole. you won't even look all the way around it?

then idk if my flist is familiar with it but you play this guy that basically has robot parts. so like you can upgrade the robot parts on him with XP and all this shenanigans but one of the upgrades you can buy for him is the ability to smash through walls.

so taking my first thought that came to my head upon learning you can smash through walls + how stupid the guards are i bring you...

so yesterday was pretty good. i ended up getting a migraine before work was over. when i got home my parents convinced me to take a vicodin for it since we were supposed to go out to eat. i did and surprisingly it worked. i did feel a bit zombie-ish but it didn't completely zonk me out either...which was ok.

ANYWAY, it was a pretty good day in general...:3 I got some neat shirts and some vitamin water and like 900 different snacks from trader joe's from my parents (y so good, trader joe's.) and i got $50 in gamestop munz and a neato playstation pin from my brother. desu ex, you will be mine i got a starbucks card from work, and some more snacky things... also eyebrowaddict got me the r3 guide (artwork yay) and a super cool inFamous 2 shirt. :UUU

got a lot of wishes from various friends too (thanks 2 you all.) including on some forums i go on. :'D i was kind of surprised i got a pm and a few visitor messages and all. everyone is so nice.

but like, ngl, the highlight of my day that had me flipping out was this:

.....i-i kinda did ask for it in another tweet, but usually they just ignore everything i send. SO I AM STILL RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY.

and i count this as the virtual brofist i wanted for like, ever. SPP APPROVES. AND THEY WISHED ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
i wish embedding wasn't disabled on this video because it accurately portrays how i feel about this and i use this clip all the time but its the best thing ever, is why

i just found out the entire premise behind Festival of Blood is Zeke making shit up attempting to impress ladies.






that is absolutely brilliant.

zeke is the best character ever and i need to play this even more. sakdaslskadkl excite

My icon add-on packages expired...and LJ locked me out of the majority of my favorite icons. (Including the Dylan icon i wanted to use for this entry >:C) I wonder how long they store them before they get deleted. I can't afford to re-new them right now and I need to get my bills out of the way first...but if I have left over I'll renew. I LOVE MY ICONS ;-;

in other news...! I WON THAT SUPER COOL POSTER!! it was this one. It has DYLAN. and it is official!! Italy scored a whole bunch of random inFamous things for pre-ordering from various retailers. It's kinda neat...this poster is by far the coolest thing though. The rest of it is just random items with the inFamous 2 logo on it.

I emailed the seller about this one and learned a bit more about it, then I did some digging on my own...

OFFICIAL. of course i have no idea what else it says but thats besides the point

Also there is going to be an Uncharted 3 one as well. I probably won't get that one since, while I like Uncharted and all, I can't afford to collect it so I will just stick to the CE for U3 and let that be that. :'D I did get the Resistance 3 one as well, (also for starting bid) but I have a mini-Resistance collection and it will always be special to me......so.....:D yea.
