[Recently Completed:]

Recently Completed: Dear Esther

System: PC

Time Spent: 90 minutes

The Story: You're walking around on an island that's a metaphor for the protagonists' kidney stones (I'm not making anything up, he actually says that) while he whines about his dead love in an extremely pseudo-philosophical way.

The Good: The graphics are splendidly beautiful and the sound track is immaculate.

The Bad: There is no story, nor do you get to interact with anything. The no interaction part isn't actually hidden from you, you're aware of this going in that all the "game" is, is walking around on an island while the protagonist slowly fills you in on what's happening. The thing is though, there actually isn't any story; the concept I'm fine with, but he walks around saying nonsensical shit while there are non-sequitur references to the bible and chemical compositions scrawled everywhere, as if it's trying to be super-meaningful-deep, when their angsty bullshit couldn't fill a thimble.
 
Better Than: A kick in the balls.

Actually strike that, I'd take a kick in the balls if I could have my 10 dollars and 90 minutes back.

Worse Than: E.T. for the atari

Overall: Steam should be ashamed for peddling this rubbish.

Rob Zombie.  Is he one of us, or one of them?

Heh, for the same reason I was going to suggest Larry King.

Ooh, ooh! That letter is Charlie's suicide note, Milo finds it before Charlie can off himself, finds Charlie and talks him down, but somehow accidentally ends up dying himself. Jenny blames Charlie for Milo even being there. Wrongful death ftw!

I eated it

Probably its a gift from Opus.

Y'know, next time something horrible happens, I'll just imagine Opus somehow arranged it to be so, and I think that'll make it better.

Granted, but the fame that follows will destroy you.

I wish eating healthier was more convenient and cheaper.

Seriously, where are my generation's authors? Do we not look toward the future any more, and speculate on what might be?

We look toward the future, then do our best not to think about it.

Granted, but you're caught by the police, and with that much cocaine they can prove an intent to distribute. You're going away for a loooong time

I wish to never be tired in the mornings

You don't circle the internet often enough.

Granted. The truth is, the cake tastes awful.

I wish life were simpler.

*sighs* Alright... I'm cutting/have cut Mr. Biological Sperm-Donor out of my life for abuse that happened when I was two (which I don't remember, fortunately, but I'm pretty sure the mental scars are still there). By today's standards, he'd have been thrown in jail and labeled as a sex-offender, but since my mom didn't want me to testify, a judge ordered that visitation rights could only happen in his mother's supervision for only two weeks a year. I still wonder if his wife knows what happened.

I didn't even know who the hell he was to me when I was little because I grew up calling him by his first name (my step-dad, to me, is "Dad"). I remember I didn't really like him or giving him hugs at all, and I couldn't figure out why. I thought he was an uncle or something. It wasn't until I was about 11 that I discovered who he was, and at 13, I learned what he did.

I know that some ill feelings towards people lessen with time, especially if you really cared about someone, but this isn't one of those times. I also feel somewhat like a hypocrit when I absolutely hate to see aunts snubbing their parents for what seems like no good reason, or reasons that could be fixed with counseling... or medication.

I could also list all the things I hate about him (from what I remember experiencing), but I'm too tired... That is my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Well, I hope everything works out for you Syn.

PP: Now MY steam is running like shit. WHAT DID YOU BASTARDS DO TO ME!?

PPII: SUPER MONDAY NIGHT COMBAT WILL NOT LET ME LOG IN. I'LL FUCKING KILL ALL OF YOU. FIX IT.

Y'all better not mess up my Steam!

PP: Internet is sloooooow. D:

Happy birthday SharpArcher! Made it just in time

Just finished Mister B. Gone. I really enjoyed it a lot; so much so that I think I'm going to try out more of Clive Barkers works. Finally found a copy of The Hellbound Heart which the Hellraiser movies were based off of, so I'm gonna give it a try.

[not]

I have a facebook account, I never log in (literally never).  My wife fills me in on everything I need to know about everyone and it works for me.  It's to the point where my wife and friends apparently taunt me on my facebook wall to log in. 

Haha, the condensed version is convenient as hell, isn't it?

It's really not. You can do what I do, and voice your opposing opinion, and if they turn into an ape and begin slapping their sloping brow and throwing leaves into the air, I just start making

That's what I've been doing so far, and it's worked for the most part. No drama yet. Facebook is really testing my ability to not be argumentative though.



On topic: Shoe-fire taco-stand

I'm not saying that this is true for everyone (It's DEFINITELY not, there are some people you should just cut out of your life and keep it that way), but some people do realize the horrible way they've been acting, and they can snap out of it. I don't know.

That's very true. I went on a rant just because for around decade from when I was an infant until I was ~12 I rarely ever saw or spoke to my dad. He's become a much better person though in comparison to all the stories I had heard about him. I gave him a chance, mostly because since I was so young before, he hadn't really had a chance from me, where as others were much more hesitant.

It seems to be kind of common for people to have at least one bad parent, and I repeatedly see similar stories happen to others I've known, and most of the time don't end very well. Very rarely does it seem that people actually change for the better.

PP: Nothing to do for several more hours.
