i was organizing pictures in my phone the other day and noticed i took a lot of pictures of my room... and it was funny to me to see how it went from empty blank walls to dan vs taped on every single space... i resized them and now will share here...!

( lots of pictures... )

crandles is coping slightly better... JUST SLIGHTLY.

anyway im posting this because i am curious... i just got a figure in the mail of some COOL GUY that no one knows who is i am sure but he reeks like cigarettes.

badly.

funny because i half suspected it. the auction description didnt list this as a possible issue, but the guys eBay profile did (i went to it to see if he had anything else listed for sale) but i noticed this /after/ i already won the figure... so i suspected he would, and he does, but its horrible. :( I don't like being near him and i fear his stink will wipe off on my other things. anyone know any ideas to make the smell go away?

also some of his joints are really lose, more specifically the waist joint, its a turning one but its weird. I suppose it wont matter since I'll likely be posing him on a shelf forever but it still bugs me.

:I still got him for a pretty good deal though... but i am a bit annoyed.

i tend to get overly paranoid with my things. especially if its an electronic device with a lot of important data on it. I've gone through so many harddrives because I've declared them dying (maybe before they actually were) and i also have a bin with like 20 old hdd in it. no jokes my last drive actually WAS dying.

that is making clicky death noises randomly (but not quite dead...yet) and also taking forever and 90 years to open a file folder. (srsly my internet was faster than opening my documents)

SO I GOT A NEW DRIVE. now i have 935gb of space. the only bad thing is having to reinstall EVERY SINGLE THING. it feels like i should at least have more new components in my computer after that, BUT NOPE ITS THE SAME OLD SLOW CRAP that won't even play alan wake :'c :'c :'c

i named my "NEW SYSTEM" stahlarms though because i am clearly not all creeping on stahl/killzone 3 atm. nope not at all.

i need to name the harddrive now too. it needs to be cool. but i will probably just call it Flea-Tortilla something. don't ask OH TOO LATE

AND NOW I GET TO SPEND ALL OF FOREVER INSTALLING PROGRAMS :'C

actually i had a lot more programs in my start menu in my old setup. but i dont even remember what i had installed. i feel like it should be important because i use the start menu instead of desktop shortcuts desktop icons are ugly AND I JUST I DONT KNOW. im sure i'll remember. eventually.

this post is pointless but i'm waiting for junk to transfer/install and i feel like i can't do much of anything else!!!!!!!!!!!

so a few weeks ago i replayed killzone 3 because thekayla said i should when i asked all of twitter what game i should replay. because idk how to play new games

and then well.

wwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll



yes ok.

( moar talking about the things and photos of da books bcuz i leik takin pics of things i buy and typin with horrible non-existant grammor and spelling )

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.........

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 idk if i posted this here but i am working on getting the platinum trophies in inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2 again on an alternate PSN account (its "CoelMacGroof" if anyone wants to add him ololol) but today i accidentally glitches. i find fun things in inFAMOUS no matter what, no matter how many times i have played it...

( some videos )

and btw i have all the trophies except the ones for going through on evil. bawww evil cole i dont like you so obvs this plat won't be hard to get. :I I can blow through the entire game (ignoring side missions anyway) in like a day. I CAN PLAY THIS GAME LIKE A ROBOT. ITS PROBABLY CREEPY AND WEIRD. but after 10+ times what do you expect

btw did i mention i like infamous

it seems like wherever it is my collection gets posted there is always someone that doesn't get it. i can see not getting collecting but ... idk people.

take this comment i got on deviantART:

... Why throw away money on different regional versions? Different cover, ok, but that you could easily find on the internet and print.

there is a lot of things i could have said to this. a lot. "just printing it" isn't the same. it won't be the same quality, not to mention you can't even find decent size scans of most of the covers anyway. maybe for PAL/NA but probs not for japan...and probably not the inside of the insert, or the manual.

not to mention i don't even have a printer.

i replied with this though:

I'll "throw my money away" on whatever I damn well please. :U

There is more to regional copies than just the cover, and there is more to being a collector than just "throwing money away". Everyone's got a hobby.

that's right.

there is really no point in trying to explain these things to people sometimes. lol. at least this person says it to me and not on a forum where they don't think i'll find it. :D

ah, also the artbook isn't coming out in August... I expected as much because I hadn't seen any news from the publisher yet and August is fast approaching. Amazon changed the date to Dec 6th 2011...which if that is the date is funny because its the same day the comic collective book is coming out. At least I get more infamoose at the end of the year then, eh? lol my christmas gifts to myself. :b

also gives me more time to save up money for it all :3

tl;dr: collecting is srs bsns and infamous is my life.

i made a european PSN account today so i could use the code that came in my press kit. i give this guy some credit for not using the codes ololloll but i got a kickass inFAMOUS 2 dynamic theme out of it.... also since I have another PSN account now I am also going to use it to get the platinum for both inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2 again. i am such a huge nerd you guys dont even know

I've started with inFAMOUS again, obvs, but uh at the start of the game i already did this: these guys are so totally sexy let me tell you... there no words... just lols...lots of them.

ALSO THE OTHER DAY SOMEONE THAT ISN'T SOMEONE I KNOW TWEETED MY COLLECTION WEBSITE. I AM SO PROUD. ;_; I've also added a new video on its account...comparing the inFAMOUS 1 and 2 Special Editions. THEY'RE REALLY NEATO. Special thanks to celuthea for picking me up the inFAMOUS 2 SE. :3

( I PUT THE VIDYA UNDER HURR, ONCE AGAIN MY VOICE IS STUPID. )

AND IF YOU HAVEN"T LOOKED AT MY SITE IN A WHILE PLZ DO!? ;-; i added lots of new items~ clicky click

uhmmmmm i have to clean all of my room and move some furniture out and bag all my pokemon plush to put in the garage for my hoes coming over (eyebrowaddict, thekayla) i also need to wash my car, because it is filthy....oh also im working 9~5:30 again so lolooll.

edit btw i added two surprises to my LJ layout today that amuse me greatly. what do you guys think?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Error: unknown template qotd]

DOES COLE MACGRATH COUNT!?

there are rights to an infamous movie by sony pictures somewhere but whether or not they do anything with it is another story. i am excited and terrified by this all at the same time, ngl.


of course the most important part is if they can get zeke right, obviously.

so i got my Resistance 3 poster in the mail today... a delayed gift from Insomniac Games for visiting them at Community Day at the end of March.

They also included a letter, and although it was probably mass-printed, it has my name on it and therefore is the coolest thing ever and I am keeping it forever.

The end of the letter mentions the next community day being in 2012. cant wait man...cant wait. ;-;

now if only that other video game company would make good on its year and a half old promise... oh well time to go play infamous 2 forever.

i made this video. also my voice is really dumb. its all super pointless though. the highlight is me making fun of the cole statue. also i had to take the entire video with one hand because i used my cell phone.

also this is the best use of the backpack.

the end!!!!

so today i got all the steam-trophies for half-life 2. yaaaaaaay. now the episodes should go on sale so i can beat them too ;-;

but at the end of ravenholm in the mines, in the bottom part with thousands of poison and fast headcrabs i found something amusing
( its a video )

SO I GUESS SUCKER PUNCH REALLY WANTS ME IN THAT BETA...

because they just sent me another beta invite lol. this is kind of funny... :'D

I did ask them on twitter if I'm supposed to have it because the email sent to me has links that are specific to my email address and I don't want to mess anything up. /paranoid btw/ But if not then lololol someone is getting a beta code.

actually this is technically the third beta code i've been sent, but the second one was a "fix" code because my account was locked out of the beta forums for some reason

ALSO ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE NO ONE ELSE HAS PLAYED MY MISSION. :C I would try posting it in the beta forums but I'd feel bad posting my crap mission. LMAO I BARELY SPENT LIKE 15 MINUTES PUTTING IT TOGETHER. IT DOES NOT DESERVE POPULARITY... but it amuses me anyway.

i've also discovered i can forgive sucker punch for removing the ability to punch things with Cole's face because now you can throw everything that isn't nailed down at EVERYTHING. i killed an enemy with a porta-potty last night. something i'd been trying to do on infamous 1 for a while now ngl I also killed a joe with a shopping cart, a dumpster, a traffic cone... i was even throwing wooden pallets and trash cans with fires in them at some joes. skdaldksald.

also its super hilarious to me when you throw an item just right, and it hits a corner or something and rockets 10000000mph in the opposite direction after it bounces. this is the kind of thing that can literally entertain me for hours. good job, sp, good job

it just occurred to me that infamous 2 is less than 2 months away from being released. ffffffff yes. LMAO I FOUND OUT TOO, THAT I UPLOADED A STUPID INFAMOUS 2 DOODLE COMIC ABOUT THE NEW ZEKE/COLE EXACTLY ONE YEAR BEFORE THE GAME WOULD COME OUT. does this count as predicting it?

yesterday a group of experts (antoj thekayla and eyebrowaddict) identified all the tattoos on Cole's arms. SOMEHOW THIS FEELS LIKE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT.

also i published my mission "Throw trash at cars" which stands with 3 plays and a 2/5 star rating atm.... :D at least it's not one star, right? yet. its super pointless though, which is probably why it has such a low rating but its ok... just wait until i really start unleashing atrocities upon the infamous 2 level building community. IT WILL BE GLORIOUS.

though i do kind of have an idea for a serious-ish mission that i might try to make... but idk. :D WE'LL SEE.

i also found out how much fun it is to launch cars directly into the air and then shoot them 2428290 times with the lightning bolt so they explode before hitting the ground. SO MUCH FUN. also cole has this hilarious prancing animation if you walk while levitating objects it is amazing

i also updated my infamous collection site: which is here. If anyone wants to affiliate it (lol doubtful) lemme know.

JUST GOT THIS EMAIL:
"You're invited--Exclusive inFAMOUS 2 Beta"
