The Life Of A LittlBUGer

My oh my, it’s been a long while since I’ve posted here eh? Well, I’m sorry to disappoint, but I’ve just recently been swamped at work and with the family that I’ve had absolutely no damn time for anything. I have deadlines approaching at work and too much work to be done until then, I have kids going crazy at home along with my wife, I have a friend’s PC that I need to finish fixing (I wiped it and started from scratch as it was going down…), and I have my own websites and other damn things to catch up on, including movies and gaming! GAH! What’s a poor guy like me with no time to do? I know!:

Step 1: Create a plan to successfully freeze time whenever I feel like it while at the same time making sure I don’t age during that frozen time even though I’m free to move around as I please and also be able to shit money out of my ass.

Step 2: Execute the plan and ?…

Step 3: Profit!

Some good news lately though, I finally decided to get tested for spermies down under (I’m sure some of you recall my fun Vasectomy story) and guess what? I’m in the clear! Whoohoo! Sex anywhere, anytime baby! And with that fun tip of information that you never needed nor wanted to know, here’s a fun picture of the day: Fat Pussy!

Enjoy and prosper!

For those of you who know (or those who don’t), I’m a “hardcore gamer”.  Yes, my family kind of sucks the life out of that term because I may get an hour a night or less to actually do anything on my computer, nevertheless actually game, but still, I consider that phrase good.  The reason?  There is nothing else in this world that can help get or keep me sincerely calm and relaxed like a good game can.  My family/wife?  Bah!  My friends?  LOL!  Nope, it all comes to my gaming and I.  It’s just something I love to do.  I love to explore new worlds and kick other faceless people’s asses (though it’s also fun to kick your friend’s ass too) and to mainly just get away from all of the crap in the “real world.”  There’s so much stress and chaos and dullness and no adventure here that it’s just natural to feel so much better in a game.  I mean, I could have a stomach ache or a headache or some other type of pain and yet once I get into a game, I really don’t feel anything buy happiness.  Sure, there’s games where things can get frustrating and difficult and whatnot, but that’s easy to deal with, as if it becomes too much, you stop playing that game and move on to the next for a while.  Simple, easy, fun.  Real world?  Not simple, not easy, no fun.  Some of you may think I’m a horrible beast, that my kids nor my wife can’t make me happy and such.  I never said they couldn’t make me happy and whatnot, I just said they can’t take all of the stress, dullness, depression, and crap away from the world like a good game can.  Nothing more… now… where was I going with this…?  Hmm…. oh yes!  I’m curious, is anyone out there just like me?  If so, what games do you play as I’d love to kick your ass some time (though co-op is just as fun). 

Anyway, somewhat related to the above, some very recent games I’ve played have been BioShock, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2, Overlord, TrackMania United, etc.  Well, here’s some rants I have for those games before I move on to new ones like Crysis and Unreal Tournament 3 and so forth:

• BioShock: Fantastic game and made me miss the good ol days of System Shock 2.  A little short, but still great.  Only downfall—why the hell did you not provide a multiplayer interface like you did with System Shock 2??!!  SS2 actually had a fantastic multiplayer, where the only thing you can do is play the single player game with up to 3 of your friends.  Full storyline and cut scenes, saves allowed, the whole works.  Why not in BioShock as well damit!  Ending was OK, though short for either version (’good’ or ‘bad’).
• Half-Life 2: Episode 2: What??!! You ended it like that!  NOOOOO!!!!  I’ll try not to spoil it, but damit!  NOOO!!!!  I wanted to know everything he knew before he went away like that!  Sheesh!  Otherwise, wonderful game.  Oh, and bringing Achievements to the PC finally… nice touch.
• Portal: More fun than I’ve had in a long time and also added a new level of thinking to my daily brain vocabulary.  Wish there was more, but I know it was more of a long tech demo than anything.  Great job.
•  Team Fortress 2: As I’ve mentioned before, I like it the more I play it, but seriously, no grenades or armor?!  You’ve got to be kidding me!
• Overlord: A very fun game to play and provides kind of a new style of gaming, at least it was to me.  Maybe could have been slightly better, but still a good fun.  Great endings too, depending on if  you’re ‘good’ or ‘bad’. 
• TrackMania United: Some crazy racing going on here which can give great fun or great frustration.  There are types of races I can do with ease, others I can’t even get past the 3rd track.  Fun overall and I like that’s it’s not a simulated real-world game, it’s just pure crazy racing fun.

As for Crysis and UT3, you better run nicely on my gaming laptop… or else!  Until next time… 

Ahh yes, Halloween.  One of the only times of the year where my wife goes crazy (well, more than usual I mean).  She is so gullible and so easy to scare (I mean, Harry Potter scares her) and yet her most favorite holiday of the year is Halloween.  She goes all out on exterior things such as pumpkins, lights, hey, spooky sounds, and other stuff, and the same with the interior of our home.  But, things get a little hectic during our costume choosing and then of course Halloween night.

Seriously, last year she wanted to be some sort of Pharaoh/Greek/Caesar lady and wanted me to be the accompanying guy.  Well, her costume turned out to be great, as she’s hot and she can make a long white dress type of thing look good.  On the other hand, mine (though it was made for a man) looked almost exactly like hers.  She loved it of course, but I did not.  I wore it anyway (silly me) and it turned out I was right.  As we were walking about, going trick or treating with our kids in the freezing cold (it usually snows her in Montana right before Halloween night), all dressed up as we were, we walked past a couple of  10-12 year olds.  At that time, I was pushing our stroller, as it was a backup in case our youngest at the time (our little boy who was 1) didn’t want to walk anymore and it provided ample candy storage.  Well, as we past those kids, they both laughed at me and asked “What are you supposed to be, a woman?”, and laughed some more.  I replied with the likes of “No, I’m Caesar…” to which they sharply replied “Oh, well isn’t it the woman’s job to be pushing the stroller?” and they laughed and walked off.  Holy crap you should have seen my wife when she heard that.  She is a bold person who stands up for herself and doesn’t take any shit or femist crap from anyone.  Me, being me, was nice about it and just asked her to please listen to me for once (she still doesn’t of course) and what a fun 5 minute night we had (I told you it was freezing).

So costume time came around this year, and I was dreading for the worst.  Luckily, my oldest son, 4, wanted to be Optimus Prime of the Transformers and wanted me to also be the same (like a son/dad or little/big kind of thing) so I thought that would be a lot better than last year.  Well, though my son likes it, I still look like a fricken idiot.  Luckily I have a mask so it’s not quite as bad…

Anyway, to make a longer story shorter, never take your kids to a public Halloween event at a tiny school where they have 10 games and about 1000 kids in a tiny gym to play them all, and never listen to your wife… ever.
