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!!!!!!!!!!!

( 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.

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 just watched fringe and my head exploded.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

here is a video of my cat being adorable.

this is another post about infamous 2. i hope you're used to this by now. if not i apologize sort of. i started on my evil play last night. I DON'T LIKE EVIL COLE but sometimes stuff he does is funny. like you can get away with throwing cars at everything and not even care. i had literally just touched feet in new marais before he went on a huge rampage and destroyed all of the things. actually it was even more funny in my attempts to juggle cars one of them actually fell on him and he died instantly. its what he deserves

BUT YEA I DONT LIKE EVIL COLE. his powers aren't as good as the good karma powers, and he turns really ugly. lol. good cole looks human still and he acts like one :| BUT YEAAAAA. im doing it for the trophies.

but the main point of this post is to show you some lols i've got in infamous 2 so far. no game would be any game i play unless i find 9 ways to break it. i can tell this is still running on the same engine that infamous 1 ran in too....because some of the same glitches from i1 are in i2. like, if cole's foot gets stuck on something he jumps too close to he can't run anymore but instead you can make him spin in place w/o his legs moving (its really funny, i have a video of this happening to me in infamous 1, as well, if anyone wanted to see what i meant)

i've also made him float in place like that other video of cole i made in infamous 1 put to lady gaga music. loloollo i miss somethings though, like stretchy legs macgrath from infamous 1. THAT WAS HILARIOUS :( ok enough of my rambling i have photos of glitches under the cut:

( i plan to get at least 200 more infamous 2 glitches but this will do for now )

also is it weird playing infamous 2 is making me super nostalgic to play the first one again??? :D:D:D:D im doin it wrong

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?

yaoi_queen posted a thing about christmas wallpapers and what ones you have rn. I don't have one on my desktop its still that super cool cole thing :D:D:D but i did get a new one today on my phone~~
( its under the cut )
:D

okay first like...damn it sucker punch.

this does not look like this. It especially does not look like this. seriously "new-new" cole looks more like Nathan Hale than Cole.....that is just sad. cole keeps aging/regressing 10 years here or there. seriously you guys are pissing me off. :'c at least zeke is the same ;-;

seriously though compare magazine cover cole to nathan hale they are like brothers now. what the fuck sucker punch. i mean insomniac and hale is a cool guy yea but FOR REALS!? did naughty dog get mad at your drake-cole so you made a hale-cole instead? is that what im seeing here?

words meme under cut: (from okapifeathers PS3, Pokemon, Cats, Hallmark (SORRY OK), and Zeke (easy mode: don't mention pairings/ Hard mode: Don't mention Cole))
( oh goodie )

also day 5 (Day 5 - Game character you feel you are most like (or wish you were).) of the vidya game meme
( Day 5 - Game character you feel you are most like (or wish you were). )

So I already missed one day of this meme! |:

Except i have a reason!! I've been sick! It sucks ass because I had been planning ALL WEEK to use today to go roller blading across the street. It's so rare that there is no one over at that damn school. And its so open and perfect for practicing.....but yea I'm sick like whoa. I spent 90% of my day yesterday battling fever/pains/etc and like idk. NOT EVEN THE COLD MEDICINE I TOOK DID ANYTHING (srsly) I ended up falling asleep for a bit around 10pm but was woken up cuz Crandles was walking all over me and sniffing at my face and stuff. |: STUPID KITTY. but then i went to bed....and woke up at 5am.....yea. I STILL FEEL LIKE SHIT BUT IM NOT SUPER DYING AGAIN (yet) SO HERE I AM POSTING THINGS IN MY LJ BECAUSE PRIORITIES, I HAVE THEM.

( day 2 and 3 of vidya game meme )

I GOT MY ROLLER BLADES TODAY!!!! I am pleased. I tried them on and I found out I can stand pretty okay with them on carpet...:D:D:D:D but i went outside for a bit but uhhhhhh i stayed clung to the back door cuz i was in my pajamas and didn't fancy falling on my ass in them. I noticed I have a tendency to roll backwards.... |D

I also had to get man skates cuz my feet are giangantor but I'm okay with that. i mean california said i was a man for a few years so w/e same diff!!!! BUT YEA. It was fun though! I rly wanna try getting better at them. though my plan of staying close to the ground and scooting around on them won't work cuz uhm they kind of make it impossible to bend my ankles....... :D; oops.

I also got some gloves... that look like cole's! :D but i realized i should probably get elbow pads too.... :\ I usually hate wearing that stuff cuz i'd look like a giant homo but then i remember i have nerve damage in my left arm, p much stemming from the elbow. so uhmmmmmm kinda don't wanna fuck that up more! I might have to go get some... IDK WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

Though I wish I had someone to fag around with in them. lmao IDK when I'm gonna get practice in cuz i don't have anyone to hang out with. |: lmao. i am a loser. it would help if I could go practice in the school across the street but the only time no one is over there is when its dark out these days....... and that school is made of nightmares when its dark. ): seriously i have had nightmares about that school at night so kind of super dnw.

also my dad saw them and was like "Y DID U BUY THOSE" and its like IDK MAN DON'T JUDGE ME. :_____: coz getting exercise is trbl obvs.

( PICS OF MY COLE GLOVES UNDER THE CUT!!!!!! (also part of my roller blade hrurr )

my ankle kind of hurts rn. IS THIS NORMAL? i need to practice more huh? fffffff. OK IM DONE NOW.

A FEW THINGS.

1) i drawed this. idk why my draws keep getting huger and huger but they do. ps kind of an inside joke maybe but w/e

2) When you see it you will lol (maybe...well i am amuse by it)

3) I MADE A VIDEO. kind of. i actually just recorded some inFAMOUS footage and slapped a lady gaga song in the background. in this video is a glitch i probably should have put in my previous entry, as i've messed around with this before but WHATEVER TOO LATE. basically inFAMOUS touts being able to go ~*~EVERYWHERE~*~ right? well there is somewhere the game doesn't let you go...and if you try then idk i guess cole gets a new superpower...

( spoilers: he learns levitate )

my guess is no.

...probably not even after the second one comes out. not unless it somehow manages to top the introductory gameplay of infamous. i mean srsly the cole/zeke bffery is like the best ever.

also this:

yes.
( cole can levitate too )
