Wow. Haven't ben here in a while. Oblivion and Left 4 Dead are addicting that way I guess. :kitty:
Weirdest thing when I went to file my taxes. Found out I owe the state $10. Ya. Weirded me out when I found out about it.
So...
Wow. Dude. Totally wacked out nightmare liast night. Even though it got a bit hairy at times, it was still pretty awesome.
In my dream I was the leader of a small group of 3. Me, my brother, and a girl, who's name I can't recall, but I think it was Sara (she looked 14-16).
We were some kind of demon hunters, I guess. I know I was the "tank" (the guy who dishes out all the damage, and protects the others from getting hurt), Sara was our "tracker (she had a nose for sniffing out demons, and a gift for learning their weaknesses and traits real quick) an dmy brother was there for support (over headsets, giving us advice. Funny how quick kids think).
We were hunting some kind of vampire in the suburbs. Afte ran initial encounter, which I cna't quite remember, we tracked him down to my grandma's old house. After tring to eavesdrop on his conversation with a few lackeys, I got caught, and began to fight them. :P PK fire, thunder, Ice. It was great. Although I was worred that they weren't being much affected. I thundered their heads, they flinched but recovered immediately. I fired them, and they stumbled, and shook their heads dizzily, but showed no other sign of weakness. So I took a dramatic charging pose and screamed out "PK AWESOOOOME!!!". Although the air around me ripppled with power, and the enemies were shaking so much that they were blurring out, it wasn't havin ghte inteded effect (a giant awesome smiley coming over the horizon, or blasting out of me, and reducing them to dust).
At this point, I feaked. I called a retreat, and launched a quick PK ICE to slow them down. They barely flinched, and they didn't freeze either. At this point, the Vampire was REALLY pissed off, and chased me and Sara upstairs. I managed to find my grandma's old room (above the garage-turned-billiards-room), and I locked the door. Sara had barely managed to nick the enemies with her own spells, and she looked both worred and depressed. I shrugged, and suggested we get the hell out of there. Sara shook her head ans said "That's no ordinary vampire. He's a count! Once a count smells fresh blood, he'll remember it, and he'll know exactly where to find us! We can never escape!". About the same time as I swore violently, the vampire tried to turn the knob, and somehow the lock slipped. I managed to grab the handle, and I kept it closed, parying that he thought it was just locked and not being held shut. Sara then commented that we should just surrender and plead mercy. I knew it wouldn't happen.
My bro then came on over the headphones and told us to just get out, any way how. It was midafternoon, and vampires couldn't logically go out of a house in the sun. Trusting his odd kid logic, (and my sudden pissed off impulse at Sara), I let go of the handle to let the count ooen the door, and then slammed my weight against the door, causing him to stumble. I then grabbed Sara by the arim, ran to a window, blasting away the glass with a thunder, and then launched myself through it, taking the screen out too. After rolling off a slant in the roof (which isn't there IRL), we bonced onto the driveway safe. My bro then shouted to us to get going, before the vampire could see us, and know which way we were fleeing.
So we took off towards a bike path, where my bro was sitting with the headset. He gave us a thumbs up, and then went pale, yelling for us to run. I looked back to see one of those big walking robot-alien things form Moon walk out of the garage and start chasing us. That was fine by me, sinc ethose guy sare slow, and I was actually able to run properly (unlike in most escape dreams). We ran all the way back to my house, with the big guy in hot pursuit. My brother (a natural sprinter) made it waaay ahead of me. Sara turned another way, and I ran to my house, managing to close my garage door just soon enough that the vampire-in-alien-suit would not be sure which house was mine. I then bolted up to my room and dove under my covers.
I woke up (in the dream), with my brother running in the room, saying that Sara was betraying us to the vampire, he'd just heard it over the headset. I Looked seriously into his eyes, and asked him if he was sure, because if he was lying (he exaggerates a lot) I'd break his headset, and never let him help us again. Without hesitation, he swore he was telling the truth. I told him we'd raid the fuy's place again in a surprise attack, and tell Sara only when we were starting, so it'd throw everyone off balance and maybe give us an advantage. And I made sure we both had neck braces, and turtleneck sweaters to cover them, to protect against any surprise bites from our enemy .
As the two of us, gathered together a few odd bits of "equipment" to use (read: random objects I could use as weapons), my mom came to us and told us that a guy had just invited us all to his house. Somehow, I jus tknew it was the vampire's place. He'd found us out (probably due to Sara's interferance). we drove there, with a platry amount of equipment in the back , that we managed to sneak in. Then, when we got there, senor vampire was there to greet us personally (No cape and stuff this time, he almost loooked normal, and he made sure no one saw his fangs. that and it was raining, so he could go outside and not get burned). He invited us all inside for dinner, leaving me no time to get any equipment. My bro had his headset, and this toy handgun (I guess it had some kind of magic or boost to it), and I had a small spike thing mounted on a handle. Somehow, I got separated form everyone, and found myself at a et of stairs to the basement. Suddenly, I felt fangs try to sink into my neck, but they didn't penetrate, dur to my neck brace. I whipped around and tried to plunge my spike into the vampire's heart, but I took too long taking it out of my pocket, and he managed to grab it from me. He smiled and after a brief taunt, he locked me in the staircase.
I did a quick mental inventory, touching each object I had that could help. Neckbrace, Candy (for energy), a mini headphone piece that I had always used to contact my bro (who wasn't responding to me), and that was it. then, I saw somehting move in the basement, and I flattened myself on the wall. It passed, then came back around. For some weird reason, it was Samus, in a dark blue power suit, using her arm cannon as a flashlight. She flashed her light over me, and then demanded I come and face her. I ran downstairs, and put up my fingers in the position to use Thunder, and looked to see where she was. The las tthough I had before waking up was "Oh crap. I'm the tank, and I'm locked in the basement with evil Samus, while the vampire has my family who-knows-where, with only my younger bro there to help them, and he's never actually had any anti-demon combat experience, and I have no way to get to them to help them!!"
:P Semi-scary (but still cool) dream, and it led to some pretty interesting daydreams at work today. That, and I actaully considred writing some stories about us three demon hunters.
That reminds me, the other night, I had a dream that I was Nite Owl and Rorschach and I were taking down this crime lord who made his home on a floating island above New York. Obviously, I've been obsessing over Watchmen too much recently, but anyway, it was great fun, taking out his lackeys and such, until we actually fought the crime lord who deactivated the antigravity mechanism, causing the island to plunge toward NYC. Unfortunately, just as I was formulating a plan to deal with the situation, I woke up.
Aegix, that's awesome! I wish I had dreams in that much detail. Most of mine are either low detail, I can't remember most of them, or whenever something happens, it startles me so much that I wake up.
hahahaha, dude!
Has anyone here tried Retro Game Challenge yet? It's freaking awesome. :P
I wanna be a crazy game master now.
I think I might get it. Is it really good?
So I just beat the X missions on Trauma Center: Second Opinion. Those were hard. I think I was about to have a heart attack when I finished. Ironic. Anyways, I find it quite hilarious that I was greeted with the following message:
Congratulations! You just beat the cruelest operations ever devised! But remember, this is a game, and we do not advise you attempt surgery. Unless you happen to be a doctor, in which case, we advise you don't tell your patients how many tries it took you to beat a game about surgery.
I was cracking up reading it.
I bought a truck. Woot! Not a full size truck. Just a Chevy S10 LS extended cab. Fully loaded and in damn near perfect condition. I'm picking it up tomorrow to drive back home.

Those are nice trucks. When I bought my truck I was looking at getting a Colorado, which is what replaced those. Wound up getting a Silverado 1500 work truck though cause it was the same price as the colorado. They were trying to get rid of last year models.

Cool. I have an S10 as well, but mine's not the extended cab. It's a 2001. Got about 45,000 miles on it. Good luck!

I was looking at the Silverado but with as much commuting as I do between work, school and the fire station it wasn't worth the money. I really like the Colorado but I'll be getting a full size truck after I finish my paramedic training.
Now to stick some flashing lights in the window once it passes inspection. Being a volunteer firefighter is the best.

Congrats hon. Enjoy the new toy 😊

My Silverado only has a V6 in it and it gets rather decent mileage, something around 22-23. It also, since it's a work truck model, has a 32 gallon tank. This means that I fill up once every two to three weeks.
I want a truck 😞 lol. Sooooooo, I'm getting ready to leave for Kentucky! My best friend's siter bought my bff and I tickets to see Slipknot for Christmas. I'm not as big a fan as the bff, but I'm still excited. I haven't been out of Ohio in like, almost 4 years. We were gonna leave last night but with missing two days of work last week, it set me back about 100 bucks. Wish me luck! It's like a 4 hour drive... ugh lol

If you like 8-bit games, get it!
You get a Space invaders kinda game, a fun little series of platformers, a full out shooter (It's absolutely AWESOME!), a pair of racing games (those are a bit meh, I find), and a 10 hour 8-bit dragon quest spoof.
That and the game is totally hilarious. Self proclaimed game master Arino banishes you to the 80's (and turns you into a ten year old) with the promise that you will never go home unless you can beat all of the retro game challenges he gives you. The challenges are pretty fun to do as well (get to X level, stomp on 2 enemies without touching the ground, blow up a giant asteroid, etc).
That alone is good, but what REALLY makes the game for me is that you have a "buddy" on the bottom screen with you (who will cheer you on and make other comments as you play), and that every once in a while, he'll buy gaming magazines which have tips, cheats, and other info in them. this makes the game have an almost magical quality.
Despite the fact that I've pirated it, I'm thinking of buying the game too.
Dammit, there needs to be a site of something for us pirates to send money to the Devs if we feel a game is worth paying for! I don't want to have to buy the game to support them after I've already pirated it! 😞
And speaking of which, it's a good year to have a DS. soooo many good games coming out! Phantasy star Zero, Shin Megami Tensai; devil survivor, Black Sigil... This year is gonna be awesome. : D
I know your feeling about pirated games, sort of. I wish I could pay them the price of the game, and then just download a rom after paying for it rather than a game cart. Roms are so much easier to use than game carts.
Yeah, like, even after I got my flashcart, I went out and legitimately bought Lock's Quest, because I wanted to support the developer, who've had two phenomenally innovative games, and the third looks absolutly incredible. Remember all the hype about Spore? That level of hype should follow their next game, Scribblenauts.
Heh Amaster, your avater reminds me:
Dude! What episode was that?
"Husbands and Knives" - a new, better comic book store opens across the street from the Android's Dungeon, drawing all of Comic Book Guy's business. Alan Moore makes a guest appearance signing autographs. The whole thing eventually leads to Marge opening a gym and becoming a business tycoon.
I remember that one. And then Homer gets worried that's she's cheating on him. At least, I think that's the one.
Can't help it. Must post it.

That is an awesome police chase.
It's best when narrated by Jay Leno, about 2:30 into This Video. (Note: The surrounding page is from a generally NSFW site. Don't go there if you don't want to see what the human body looks like with no clothes on, and with cell phones in places that only act like pockets. ... Or y'know, do whatever.)
That is awesome. Are they really going that slowly, or is it just in slow motion?
Probably real. Who knows. 😛
This, on the other hand...

...:rofl:
Hilarious, ST!
I am hyped! I just picked up a couple games for my brand-new-second-hand-PS2. I got beyond good and evil (it's supposed to be amazing) and Odin sphere (beutiful art, but a bit wierd on the gameplay). I also borrowed Unlimited Saga, XenoSaga ep 1, and Kingom hearts RE: chain of memories form a friend.
:P But the crowning moment of my weekend was finding a game in a bargain bin that I had been seeking for 2 years. I finally found Custom robo for the gamecube!!! : D
Oh, and protip: If you want a game on the DS that will make you pee your pants, look up Theresia. HOLY ****** SHIT that game is scary! It's a first person adventure game/psychological horror. >_< Ten minutes in and I'm already totally freaked out. That, and the game is just plain EVIL when it come to traps. how the hell was I supposed to know that pulling the chair OUT would trigger a spray of needles?!? >_< Not for the faint of heart I tell ya...

Or drink 5 cups of coffee, drive to the middle of nowhere, lock your keys in your car, and play any DS game while walking home.
I love my new truck. It sits higher than most s10's and I think that's partly because of the new suspension. I'm still in shock and awe as I look through everything. He kept it clean and replaced anything that ever made a squeak.
I took my niece and nephew for a ride when I got home from physical therapy. I had my nephew sit in the back. We had to go back out to the store and I was going to let him sit in the middle. He wouldn't have anything to do with it. He's crazy over that truck and dubbed the back as his seat.
*sigh* I haven't had a sick day in two and a half years.
So why is it that I come down with a fever and chills right during Tech Week for our production of Steel Magnolias. I mean, I can't stay home, because you do not miss Tech unless you or a family member has died
Me and my new Cobalt on Daytona Beach.

You can drive on the beach?
