T-Minus 40 minutes and counting..
We're slowly coming closer and closer to Christmas day here on the East Coast in the States. At 3:30 am, I'll be waken up sharply from my brother, wanting to sort and open Christmas presents, and I'll probably be awake for the next 24 hours. >_o Gotta love the Holidays.

horsesrule: Oh yeah, always having fun doin' that homework.
Arc: I appreciate the support. <.< And yes, Grave of the Fireflies is a must-see.
Shin: Pfft, I'm starting to wonder if Zero will be released at all.
Karmi:
Juu: lol, Wal-Mart is just about the only big store around here to buy stuff. It sucks. -_-

Nothing much happened yesterday and I didn't feel like talking about something out of thin air, so I decided not to update really early this morning. Still on that roll of updates, though! Basically I just sat around on the computer yesterday chatting with people, and our neighbors came over for dinner. I also found out from them that my cat has been coming over to their house and meowing "in a threatening manor" at their new kittens, and jumping on the door. O.o;;; Yes, it appears that my cat has the reputation of being the mob boss of the neighborhood.. and I always thought he was such a sweet kitty. :(

Today, I woke up and talked with my friend Art about coming over an playing some video games. So we set that up for around 2, but he ended up being over an hour late while I just sat around on the internet. >.o When he did come over, I found that he had brought a bunch of games for PS2 and PSX, which always equals hours of fun.

The first game that we played is one that I heard was really good, and that was Red Faction. If you haven't heard of it, it's basically a first person shooter where you can get these bazooka-type guns to totally masacre the levels. XD If you shoot a wall, the wall now has a whole in it, and you can jump through into another room. Or if there isn't another room right there, keep shooting until you've tunnled your way all the way around the level. It's so incredibly fun that I'm tempted to say that I haven't been this intruiged by a first-person shooter since the days of GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. In other words, if you haven't played it, DO SO NOW. I'm totally going to buy it as soon as I can.

Next, we played Star Wars Battlefront (I'm sure you've seen the commercials), a game that Art had actually picked up today so that we could play it. It's actually a whole lot of fun once you get the hang of it. We played this multiplayer game (I think there might be only one, but I can't say for sure) where each team had bases, and the other team had to go up to the bases and defend them until the color switched and it was officially captured. There's not a considerable amount of depth to the game, but it's fun none-the-less. Great graphics, too, especially for a PS2 game.

We then played some DBGT Final Bout (the original, in English!), but that got pretty old fast, lol. Just fun to reminice about the DragonBall days, since the game itself isn't that great. :p We also played Metal Slug X for the PSX, and that is basically a side scrolling arcade shooter. It's funny, too: you're going around shooting Nazi-type soldiers and freeing the hippies, who give you power-ups. By the time we got to the final level, our attention spans were shot to the ground.

The next game that we played was Burnout 3, a really cool racing game that involves totally trashing and blowing up cars. ;D My favorite mode that we did was basically where we go onto the streets with all of these other cars, and just try to run the other racers off the road while avoiding other cars and your opponents. Basically, it was the first one to destroy 10 other cars, or the first one not to completely total their car. :p Soooo fun.

The last game we played was some good old Melee (what did I tell you, Shin? Eh? EH?). We teamed up this time against two computer players, which were different every time, playing in Hyrule Temple, Corneria (or whatever it's called), and Pokemon Stadium twice. The second time we played in the Pokemon level, we decided to mix it up a bit since it was 10:00 and I was going to kick him out soon since it was Christmas Eve, lol. Pokeballs and party balls.. all the way up, against Mewtwo and Jigglypuff (don't forget that we're in Pokemon Stadium, too) = insanity. We raped them, too, so that's awesome.

After Art left, I noticed all of the presents under the tree, so I added my own and went on my way to write this post. And now I should be getting to bed, so that Santa can GIVE ME SOME FUCKING GIFTS.
