Jessi stopped by today, and we watched a bit of everything.
Nick Swardson's standup, Robot Chicken, Big Bang Theory, some Youtube videos.. Etc.
It was fun.
I really love seeing her.
It made my day! Well, it always makes my day when we hang out together.
Oh!
Also, Unicorn has gotten some piercings done! Courtesy of Jessi and her friend Echo.
I love the industrial the most. Looks pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.
Hmmm what else happened..
Not much actually.
As usual!
I recently uninstalled a bunch of games on my laptop, in an attempt to discourage playing video games all the time.
Well, not completely. I still play games. Obviously.
It's one of the best ways that I can relax and actually focus on something, except for spending time with Jessi.
Nerd time!
I've made lots of progress on New Vegas! Not that it's important haha.
But it's pretty awesome. I love it.
For the first time, I'm building my character in a completely new way that I'm used to.
It's.... Interesting. It's a glass cannon.
Higher critical chance, higher accuracy, damage bonuses..
Well, when I was distributing my beginning attributes, I... Kind of for fun, I gave myself a 10 in Charisma, for the sole purpose that level 10 Charisma is called "Cult Leader". It made me laugh, so I chose that!
I have almost no health or carry weight, but I get ridiculous prices in all the stores, I can pass all the speech checks, and I can repair everything to 100! And I can forge casino chips. Bwahahaha.
I'm currently working on my Sneak skill.
Yay..
I'm also playing Bastion. Actually, I'm alt-tabbed out of Bastion right now.
It got massively good reviews in.. Everywhere.
It doesn't introduce anything new to the gaming world, but it does EVERYTHING right.
It has great RPG elements, loot, upgrades, skills.. Etc.
I really like it.
I've also been getting pretty good at Mortal Kombat, if I say so myself.
The only reason I hate the arcade mode is that the 2 final bosses are SO CHEAP.
That's one of the biggest criticisms of the game, actually. The stupid bosses make it so frustrating.
But I'm learning and inventing combos, and getting better at landing counter hits then following up with juggles and combos.
Smoke is easily my favorite character, with Mileena in a close second.
See, Smoke has a useful dodge//slide type move that is actually pretty good. It has a (relatively) low recovery animation so it's fun to use to move past projectiles and start mixups.
However, Mileena has a projectile attack that makes zoning and poking easier.
Street Fighter also has been fun!
I'm learning how to do cross-ups!
It's basically when you jump over someone, but hit them before you land so that they have to switch to guarding in the other direction, which often people mess up. It really expands my offensive capabilities.
I've decided my favorite characters are most likely... Vega, Juri, and maybe Blanka.
Juri is the Jarvan IV of Street Fighter! You can play her in any way you really want. Turtle, poking, aggressive.. Etc.
Also, I got the full Touhou pack from Ian a week ago or so.
I'm very excited to play them all!
Touhou is generally the game that I play during my class breaks, and sometimes during class.
See... It's hard to make a case for myself that I occasionally play games during class.
However, depending on the subject and the way the class is organized, it can help.
I mean, it's not something I do all the time and zone out.
Touhou is a game that's simple enough to play, but put in the background.
It helps me stay awake, and it keeps me focused.
Obviously, I pay attention in class when I really need to, when the professor brings out diagrams and definitions and such. But if I have something simple to do, it helps me focus on something.
I know that sounds weird, but it's just the way my mind works.
I think that's enough nerd for the time being.
So, classes start tomorrow. I'm excited!
I get to go and do stuff. Outside the house.
Be around people. Learn! Hooray learning!
Well, I think that's all I got right now.
I'm going to go to sleep soon-ish.
See you all later!
