Obviously, about 3 people will be watching those videos.
I mean seriously.
It'll basically be a video version of..
Whatever I'm talking about.
There won't be many of them.
But hopefully I'll occasionally talk about...
Interesting things.
Yup!
That's the big news for the day.
http://youtu.be/fGC9TX51o8Q
That's it.
Don't judge.
It's terrible.
--------------------
Well.
Today was fairly boring.
Started out great!
I fell asleep on Skype with Lizzi, so I got to wake up seeing her!
The rest of the day was... Meh.
I basically Skyped with Lizzi for most of the day.
Then, I went down to Plato's Closet to sell a bunch of clothes, and hopefully get some more!
Plato's Closet.
The Gamestop of clothing.
Seriously.
So I go in with a huge pile of clothes right?
I had at least 15 individual clothing items.
ALL OF WHICH, I might add, were,
1. In style
2. Clean
3. No rips, tears, holes
4. Looked fairly nice.
So, they bought a pair of pants and a sweatshirt.
For 8 dollars.
Yay?
The thing that bugs me is the pants that I brought, had been purchased at Plato's maybe one summer ago....?
Some were still brand new.
Don't think that I'm the kind of person who buys a huge amount of clothes then never wears them.
I just didn't wear them because I had other pants that... I wore more often.
SO I figured that they would be more than happy to buy them back, even at a massively reduced price.
They said they were out of style.
I looked at the pants they had....
..
..
Pretty much the same as mine, but mine were in better condition.
Seriously.
The Gamestop of clothing.
They have great prices to buy stuff though.
That's where I get most of my clothes.
Just don't like the selling.
--------------------
Lesse.. Video games.
Skyrim was basically it today.
I've decided to make a new character.
It is my custom in sandbox games to make a few different archtypes.
1. Male Warrior
2. Female Mage
3. Female Rogue
4. Female Ranger
5. Male Paladin
6. Male PUNCHTHINGSREPEATEDLY
However, since Skyrim's character save management isn't so good..
I'm just having two characters.
My first one is kinda rounded out.
He does alot.
I'm having fun with him.
BUT.
I figured, I should make a character and...
Use ALL the exploits!!
So I power leveled myself to level 15, and I'm currently finishing off the quest to get the Oghma Infinium.
Then I plan to repeatedly use it to level all my skills to 100.
Then laugh at the puny mortals as I smite them with my mighty smiting hand.
That's my long-term plan.
Which will be done in a few days.
Or one more day.
So not really long-term.
I'm excited.
--------------------
I've found that I can actually relax by repeatedly rolling a pair of dice through my fingers.
Not sure why.
I've also found that after rolling them a bit, I'll put them down, and every once in a while, they'll come up as a pair.
I find it amusing.
--------------------
I find it weird that I'm on Youtube.
Seriously.
I have a couple of pages in a binder that have various topics I want to vlog about.
Yeah.
I'm excited to actually start working on Youtube.
Hopefully it'll get me more traffic on my blog :D
Which will give me money!
Hopefully.
I need money.
Yeah.
I also need to become less awkward on camera.
I mean..
Damn.
It's worse than awkward arranged blind first date.
Never been there, but sounds like it'd be weird.
Lizzi thinks it was absolutely hilarious.
She's just awesome (:
Hopefully in the future I'll actually have interesting things to talk about.
Yay!
Also: I'm trying to get a face to become a meme face.
Join me in my quest!
Today, I'll be tackling random video game protagonists that I like.
They aren't listed by how much of a favorite they are.
They're listed in a very specific fashion.
How fast I could name my favorites off the top of my head.
I won't be analyzing their role in the overall plot of the game, and I won't discuss their choices, morality, or any other fanboy type stuff. I'll just be mentioning what I like.
I love all of these characters.
Or find them absolutely delicious.
Or fabulous.
Or truly, truly outrageous.
Hold onto your hats.
Or shoes.
Or other items of clothing.
Keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times.
Do not leave the blog until we've had time to track your IP, set up a phishing page, and hack into your computer.
Thank you!
--------------------
Prince of Persia(Any of the games, but the most recent is my favorite)
I love this character. With a passion.
And plus, it doesn't hurt that the voice actor is Nolan North.
We have the same first name.
We're practically related.
The prince is a boss.
The older Prince of Persia games had a very different type of character.
The prince was a brooding, pampered, and all-around obnoxious man.
I mean seriously.
He was a spoiled brat that happened to find magic weaponry, and gain the ability to mess with time.
Which kind of confused me.
If he died, how would he be able to rewind time?
If he was already dead, what would happen?
Would he be messing with time from another dimension?
Yeah.
The females of each game were much more entertaining.
They were the witty and fun characters (some of the time) that I, personally, loved seeing.
But the Prince in the newest game was completely different.
He was hilarious.
He was an experienced grave robbing parkour ninja.
And he made funny comments.
He got suckered into following the "boob interest" of the game, so he was kind of reluctant to fulfill his role as.. savior of the world.
He made humorous comments, and lightened the mood more than the past princes.
My favorite comment is, "I could have had carpets this thick. THIS THICK!!
--------------------
Samus Aran(Every Metroid game ever. Since the beginning of time)
What a badass. I mean really.
When the first Metroid game came out, it took a bit of time to realize Samus was a girl.
Until you gained the ability to play through the game as Samus in a revealing 8 bit bikini.
Bow chicka wow wow.
Early fan service.
She's definitely one of my favorite heroines.
I'd inject her any day.
HAH.
Sex joke.
And a drug joke.
2 birds with another bird.
But seriously folks.
She's pretty much one of the most badass female characters ever.
Doesn't talk too much, but wanders around.
Hunting everything.
In a (sexy?) powered space suit.
I've seen a few awesome cross sections of the cannon on her arm, which is just awesome.
And I think our government should spend millions of dollars on turning into a little ball.
Then dropping bombs.
Everywhere.
--------------------
Chris Redfield(Resident Evil)
What a hunk.
Look at them muscles, bulging underneath that extremely tight shirt.
And good!
He has knee pads.
For all the kneeling.. In the Resident Evil games.
>.>
<.<
He isn't a really funny character...
But that's okay.
He's still awesome.
I mean, if you fully upgrade a Skorpion smg in Resident Evil 5,
He gets to carry around a gatling gun.
With a massive belt box on his back.
And he can still front-flip out windows.
Like a boss.
I mean, he's completely ripped.
And he's too manly to simply push a massive boulder into the lava.
He punches it.
Into the lava.
At the end, you have a quick time event.
Spam the X button to push the boulder.
It doesn't really work, so it tells you to mash X..
To punch it.
He's so manly, he punches a boulder so hard..
It slides into the lava.
Yeah.
He's a boss.
--------------------
Isaac Clarke(Dead Space franchise)
Personally, I think Clarke is one of the biggest badasses around.
Take the first Dead Space.
He's an engineer.
Not a super hero.
He's a simple engineer.
He boards this massive wrecked ship to carry out a routine procedure and fix the damn thing.
Then, everyone gets murdered and stabbed right in front of him.
He books it out of the room, and finds a plasma cutter.
Then he murders every single space zombie on the ship.
And discovers a crazy stone that makes zombies.
And then you find out that his woman got turned into one.
Next game.
Wakes up in an asylum.
Sees the guy in front of him get turned into a zombie.
What's he do?
Kicks ass while he's in a straitjacket.
Duh.
Oh, also, he has PTSD.
Bad.
But he still manages to curb stomp EVERYTHING.
And he (me) tends to get murdered by every single damn zombie on the ship.
--------------------
Altair(Assassin's Creed)
Why WOULDN'T he be on this list.
He's awesome.
He can save the past and future.. er.. future.
But can't swim.
............
Aside from that.
Parkour assassinating ninja sonuvabitch.
I've never understood the leap of faith type deal.
I mean, jumping off the 19 story church and landing in a pile of hay about 3 feet tall...
Maybe he's just a badass.
He's another brooding type character, but still quite epic.
And cutting off your ring finger in order to get a hidden knife to jab people with?
I'd do it.
Totally worth it.
Definitely make Black Friday shopping much easier.
--------------------
Sam Fisher(Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell games)
What's better than a superspy assassin?
A retired, crotchety, angry, old superspy assassin.
What a man.
He pretty much stays a ninja.
His whole life.
He's also a fairly funny character.
It's a very dry sense of humor in some cases.
But I still think he's awesome.
And humorous.
Half the ninja type stuff he does is just plain nuts.
Sliding down cables,
sliding down ladders,
sliding down poles, (insert sex joke ?)
I'm a fan of random take downs.
Like falling down 3 stories right on top of someone.
Then running like a bitch until you find a random box to hide on top of.
After you shoot out all the lights.
Bet he's good at avoiding commitment.
(Yeah that was my only joke. I didn't know what to say. I apologize).
--------------------
Frank West(Dead Rising)
Frank West.
Definition of manly.
Nothing says "epic" quite like a middle aged man running around in kid's clothing, a teddy bear head, carrying a miniature chainsaw and lopping the heads off of zombies.
He's definitely one of the manliest characters of all time.
It's time to take pictures of this nice little mall!
Oh.
and.
ZOMBIE HORDE.
MILITARY PERSONNEL.
CRAZY CULTISTS.
You all know what that means.
..
..
Dress up in a dress, high heels, and a fancy hat, and take pictures of ALL the things!
And somehow, a group of escaped convicts managed to drive a military grade jeep with a mounted caseless machine gun.
So you take them out like a man.
With a baseball bat.
Dead Rising had the best unlockables.
Running around with a Megaman arm cannon dressed in wrestling spandex pretty much was amazing.
Yeah.
Frank.
He's pretty much the best type of.. anything repellent.
--------------------
Leon Kennedy(Resident Evil)
Hot.
Hot hot hot.
Whatta babe.
He is quite attractive.
He's pretty much amazing.
Like Chris, he's able to flip out a window.
And he also carries a massive attache case that contains a large amount of weaponry.
And it's all magically hidden.
The power of the inventory.
Is strong with this one.
The two most patient characters in video game history.
Link, and Leon.
Leon gets the full-bodied version of Navi in Resident Evil 4.
Her name is Ashley.
She's hot.
But..
Geez.
Her voice.
It's like Navi, but she talks EVERY 5 SECONDS.
The worse part about Ashley is that you have to repeatedly make sure she's safe.
Every time a mob of not-zombies runs at you, you get to toss her into a trash bin.
But she ends up being pulled out of there anyway.
Resident Evil 4 becomes more entertaining after you unlock the fancy suits.
Leon gets this badass mafia outfit, with a tipped fedora and everything.
And Ashley gets a full suit of armor.
She can't take damage, and anyone who tries to pick her up faceplants.
Bahaha.
Leon.
Kennedy.
Gets the bitches.
--------------------
Master Chief(Halo)
Again.
One of the best characters ever.
Instantly recognizable, and pretty much is a complete badass.
Epic powered suit that gives awesome abilities,
and also is trained in the art of AWESOME.
And he can kill and stuff.
He's also got a sense of humor, but it's pretty dry.
He says funny stuff, but it's more often a one-liner that you won't notice at first.
Until you think about it, then you'll laugh.
He's definitely a character that everyone will know.
I don't have much to say about him because if you know about him you basically know all that I know.
That made no sense.
But I could care less.
He's awesome.
--------------------
Bayonetta(Bayonetta)
Bam.
If you've played the game, you know how awesome she is.
The game is purposely made to be batshit crazy.
Over-the-top action and sexuality make the game fun and funny.
It's one of the few games that reward the player for doing terribly.
Essentially, her clothing is made up of her hair that's being magically kept in place.
The more you get hit, the more her hair... falls apart.
>:D
bahaha.
But seriously.
She's hilarious.
She's really cocky, which fits the game.
And the ability to fire pistols from your hands and feet means she's..
Ambidextrous?
And flexible.
Her super attacks compose of her hair becoming a crazy demon, with the hair conveniently covering her..
Body.
She's awesome like that.
--------------------
Yeaup!
There ya go.
10 of my favorite video game protagonists.
One of these days I'll just do my top ten favorite video games.
This was entertaining to write.
It made me think about all these games.
I think I'll go play a few.
Good night!

Top Five Songs of the Day
Scream For My Ice Cream by Blood on the Dance Floor
I figured it's about time I talk about something besides my life.
Or video games.
So.
I'll be randomly talking about cars!
My opinions on them, ones I like, ones I dislike, etc.
Just to make it clear, I don't have a big knowledge base on cars.
I mean, I'm still only starting to learn how a turbocharger works, a 2.5 vs a 2.0l car...
That kind of thing.
So don't go commenting and blaming me if I say something that isn't absolutely perfect.
Besides.
This entire blog (for the most part) will be in layman's terms.
Which means everyone will be able to understand it.
In case you didn't know what layman's terms was.
--------------------
So, because I'm a sign shaker, for about 2 - 3 hours, I get to stand around and watch cars drive by.
I normally wasn't really into cars, until I started seeing really nice cars around, and I wanted to know what they were!
So, I basically started doing research on cars, starting basic with what manufacturer they were, then models, then kinda went on from there.
I have a '95 Subaru Legacy wagon...
It's not that nice.
I mean, I like the car.
It's nice, and it runs pretty well, considering it's got about 155k miles on it.
My brother-in-law is a subaru guru, so we're looking at a long term plan of putting in a 2.5l STi shortblock in it. ( I might have written that wrong, but you get the idea. )
That's why most of my opinions are based on my aesthetic impressions of a car.
I'm slowly getting a little more knowledge... But yeah.
--------------------
So.
Cars I like.
All Subarus,
Most Mitsubishis.
Some Mazdas.
Some Nissans.
Some Chevrolet Corvettes.
Some Acuras.
Some BMWs.
Koenigesggs.
Lamborghinis.
I figure for once, I might actually show examples of these.
*BIG NOTE*
This will (for the most part) be my views on these cars AESTHETICALLY.
That means, I'll be talking about cars that I like HOW THEY LOOK.
Not their engine specs or stuff.
However, I might occasionally toss in the 0-62 time.
Because everyone understands that.
This'll be my opinion.
I am in no way, shape or form, saying that I'm right.
That's my disclaimer.
Read on brave viewers.
(all 2 of you)
--------------------
Subarus!
My family likes subarus. And I've kinda been raised to like them too. So I'm slightly biased when it comes to my favorite cars.
But I still like subarus.
Top favorites:
2011 Wrx Impreza STI
I just think it's a pretty car (:
I never really liked the hatchback look on a car.
Until I saw this one.
I like hatchbacks now. They look pretty cool!
Personally, I like the 4 muffler tips version.
When it comes to muffler tips, I like symmetrical designs.
Which is why I think the "melon shooter" muffler tips are absolutely ridiculous.
The 0-62 seems to be maybe 4.8 - 4.9 seconds... Somewhere in that range.
Compared to my car's 0 - 60 in.... 14.2 seconds?
Yeah. I wouldn't mind that.
2000 Subaru 2.5rs
I've always liked the way this car looks!
It's sleek enough that it's looks pretty fast, and I'm particularly a fan of the front.
The lights on the bottom give a fancy look to it.
2006 Subaru Wrx Impreza
This car I'm mostly a fan of because I remember my sister bought one.
Brand new.
I like it. It's nice.
The front is a little weirder than I would like, but I kind of like the small spoiler on the back.
I'm not a fan of spoilers that are more than 5 inches off the back.
Seriously.
You only need a spoiler like that if you're going over 150 mph for extended periods of time.
Even then.
Higher isn't necessarily more efficient.
--------------------
Mitsubishis!
2002 Eclipse gt
This is a nice car.
I love it.
It's sporty looking, and fairly smooth.
The front is particularly nice.
The headlights are fairly spread apart, which I think is kinda cool.
They're flush with the car, which I like.
The... I don't know... little grille looking things on the front sides are cool.
The spoiler is cool, as it sort of raises up from the back, but it's smooth.
The tail lights are pretty sweet.
The three separate cones are kind of awesome.
Yeah.
1999 3000 gto
I basically love this car for all the same reasons as the eclipse gt.
They both are sporty, and all around pretty nice.
The spoiler in this picture is a little higher than I would like, but it's awesome.
I've seen a few in Fort Collins, and I kind of like the wider back end.
And, of course, the tail lights look kind of connected.
2007 Lancer Evolution
I like this car alot.
It's kinda rally-car looking.
The spoiler is a little high, but it still is nice.
The front is awesome.
I mean, it's hard to really identify what it is, but it's awesome.
The hood in this picture is honestly my favorite part.
The front of the vent is raised up a little, and spread out.
It's cool.
The car has a large windshield that kind of narrows when it gets higher.
The front of the car is nice and curved, and the grille is smooth with the front.
I like the circular-looking front.
--------------------
Mazdas!
1993 Rx-7 Turbo
Again, I've seen a few.
They're very pretty cars.
The front is smooth and, for lack of a better word, long.
It's not a short stubby front, and the front smooths into the windshield, which smooths out into the back, which smooths into the back.
I like the back alot.
Again, I like long tail lights.
Ones that kind of cover the entire back.
2000 Mx-5 Miata
I'm a fan of smooth cars.
This one I basically love because it's a small "zippy" looking car.
Also, my brother-in-law has a supercharged one.
I'm not sure if it's this exact year, but it's awesome.
5 point seat belts.. It was fun as hell to drive with him
*NOTE*
There's lots of mazdas I like, but honestly, lots of them look the same.
But I still love them.
The miata and the rx7 are just my favorites.
-------------------- Nissans!
1995 240sx
It was pretty hard to find a picture of one of these un-modded.
From the looks of it, it's a good starting platform to mod and all around mess with.
I've seen a couple of these in the CSU parking lot, and I love the way they look.
The back is personally my favorite.
The tail lights are kinda long and stretched out, which I like.
2004 350z
I think everyone likes the 350z.
Well, a large amount of people do.
It's a nice looking car.
The back flows into the front smoothly,
and the front head lights aren't fighting each other to be seen.
The grille at the bottom is a nice size that doesn't take up the whole front.
Nissan GTR
Ah yes.
The new car.
It's nice.
I've seen 2 of these in Fort Collins.
They're quite pretty.
The 0 - 62 is somewhere around 2.9 seconds.
....
wtf.
I'd just shit my pants.
That would be terrifying.
Nissan Skyline
What's NOT to like about this car.
It's beautiful.
Long and slender, low to the ground, sporty looking, beautiful car.
Seriously.
I don't really have much to talk about on this.. but I love it.
*NOTE*
Like mazdas, there's a few more I like.
Altima, Maxima, etc.
They're more practical rather than sporty, but I like the look of them.
--------------------
Chevreolet Corvettes!
1963 Sting Ray Coupe
Obviously, for most of these cars, I wasn't alive when they came out.
But I've seen pictures of them, and I love them.
As you can see, I love it when one part of the car smoothly transitions to another part.
The back of this car does that quite well.
The front of the windshield is kind of cool because it's pretty sharp and heads down fast.
The windows are fairly small and short, which looks great on this car.
1974 Stingray Coupe
I loved this car ever since I got a Hot Wheels car of it.
It's awesome.
the back is really short, and the front of the car is long.
The small 2 seats with a diagonal windshield gives it a fancy look.
It's low to the ground, and the wheel wells above the front wheels look nice!
2007 C6 Z06
A very pretty car.
The 4 round tail lights look awesome.
This is one of the few cars that has a flat back that I actually like.
The back windshield is awesome looking, considering it flows perfectly into the top of the car, and has a kind of angled look to it.
The low top also adds to the low look of the car that I love.
4 exhaust tips looks kind of awesome with this car.
I've seen a couple in Fort Collins, and I got to see someone trying to show off.
He took off from a dead stop and gunned it.
It was cool, but the back fishtailed a little bit.
It was interesting.
--------------------
Acuras!
Honda // Acura Nsx
I'm not sure which one it is.
My understanding is, the acura nsx and the honda s2000 are the same car, but the acura nsx was released in north america.
That's just my guess.
I'm not sure, so don't quote me on it.
But I love this car.
Long and sleek, really low to the ground.
It's kind of a wide-looking car, which I love.
The rear end has an awesome long tail light section, and the spoiler (at least in this picture) looks awesome.
Nice and low to the car, not too tall.
I like it.
*NOTE*
My descriptions are getting less and less interesting, I know.
I'm still going so this effort wasn't for nothing.
At least you can see the cars I like.
BMWs!
M3 Gtr
Yes, I first saw this car on Need For Speed: Most Wanted.
But I've seen quite a few of them.
And I really like it.
It's one of the few cars that I can stand with a spoiler.
That's rare for me.
I like the way it looks, especially this picture.
I love the exhaust pipes on the sides.
It looks pretty awesome.
Z4 Roadster
This is just an all-around pretty car.
It's smooth.
I like it.
It's a convertible, which is cool, but I don't really care.
It's just a nice looking car.
Koenisgseggs!
Agera R
Ahhhh.
Pretty car.
What's not to like?
Low to the ground, low spoiler that's nice..
Short car.
Smooth edges.
Very fast.
I love it.
Lamborghinis!
Diablo
The Diablo is a pretty car.
I remember it because it was one of the first cars I could remember what it looked like.
I remember it from playing the original NFS Hot Pursuit at my friend's house.
It's an awesome car.
Low, smooth, blah blah blah.
Same reasons I like most of my cars.
Reventon
Again...
Very pretty.
I want one.
The back is personally my favorite.
Angled, short.
The back window looks awesome too.
The one exhaust pipe is kinda weird, but I think this car pulls it off.
Murciealago Lp640
It's obvious that the Reventon looks alot like the Murciealago.
But it's still my favorite.
I didn't like the Gallardo because the back was really tall and flat.
I'm not a fan.
But this is personally my favorite Lamborghini.
Very pretty.
--------------------
Yup!
That's my cars.
I love them all.
There are some other cars I like, but these are the most recognizable and my favorites.
Not much has really happened.
But I've had fun with my new sound system!
Everything sounds so much more epic.
Playing action games is one of my favorites.
The explosions become absolutely amazing.
Shooting a gun has a satisfying "thud" sound to it.
Dubstep also sounds more amazing.
It's awesome.
I love it.
It was definitely worth it.
Easily one of the best gifts ever.
--------------------
I had alot of friends over for the night.
Got Ian, Aaron, Caleb, Ben, David, Dane and James.
It's pretty awesome.
We had alot of fun.
In fact, we're still up.
Aaron's asleep, James is playing Dead Island.
Ben and Ian are playing the Lord of the Rings overhaul mod for Medieval Total War.
It's entertaining to listen to.
Me and Lizzi are skyping, and she's falling asleep.
She sat on skyped with me and all my friends.
I love her so much.
She's comfortable with my friends.
And I love it.
She's great friends with Caleb.
She's pretty much amazing in every way.
The fact that she's able to be comfortable and talk and laugh with all of us just makes her all the more awesome.
(:
--------------------
I suppose I should eventually start finishing the car blog post..
I'm thinking I might turn my blog into "My favorite 10... x"
It would get more views, and might be more fun.
I mean, I'll still write boring ones about my day, but adding that kind of post would be a hell of alot more fun to read.
And more stable.
People would probably like it more.
Interesting to read.
Yeah.
I'll get started on that.
--------------------
Good night.
Falling asleep.
