Pansies, posies and proxies.

Comment Commentary

Alex- I'm not sure, but I think you can have the "special" one all the way through the game if you start over.. Assuming you've beaten it already.

Mimmi- To be honest, ours seems a little small. The one in the next town over is nice and big (two stories, about twice the floorspace), but it's not as nicely decorated. It seems more sterile.

Shin- Yeah, I knew I phrased it wrong. I don't think Ocarina of Time is overhyped- in my opinion, it deserves every last bit of that praise- but by comparison, it's way overkill compared to Majora's Mask. I sort of think of it like algebraic equations: Keep it balanced, right?

Solo- Sadly, it'll probably be even more of a pain than now. I can't imagine how it could be (without being senseless and Penny Arcadey), but Valve will think of something.

Karmi- Ah, I remember that whip well. *whimsy*

Mal- A reasonable statement. Bookstores don't have that musty stench.

Otacon13- I never even had a desire to play Half-Life 1 until I saw the Half-Life 2 trailer. It got me hooked on PC gaming, and here I am today, $2,000 in hardware later.

Funny how these things don't reflect each other, eh? This is because I've been listening to some of these songs a long time before I started using iTunes. I'm sure I'm snubbing a lot of songs, too. It's sort of hard to sift through 600 songs and pick 25 you like most, though, so deal with it.

Wow, American Dad was.. Not good. There were a few brief flashes of Seth's genius, but for the most part it was Family Guy characters in what seemed to be an attempt at political satire dumbed down for whatever reason. I'm hoping that Mr. MacFarlane doesn't waste much more time and energy on American Dad, lest the new episodes of Family Guy (starting next week, w00t) suffer.

Oh, and I got none of my essay done today. I'm pretty sure that if I just skip a couple of mO updates I'll be able to divert that writing energy to less than five pages of Nazism.

And good news! My Norton Internet Security stuff stopped working because of retarded serial number stuff! Thanks, RIAA, for screwing me over.
