Both of today's pics are originals by me. I don't know if I can make one per entry, though. I need to spend more time on my art, I have a tendency to just do something in 5 minutes and expect it to look nice.
I have no idea why people think that games like DOOM make people want to kill. I just finished this great huge 15 player battle in Quake 3 Test, and I feel great! I feel very energized, and I could run around the block a few times if it weren't 1am in the morning. I don't understand why people crouch so much in q3t. Some guy and I are facing off; I have a machine gun, and he has a railgun. His ping was also a lot lower than mine, so he should whip my ass lickety split. Instead, the guy decides to crouch while taking aim! So I just hop on him and start wailing away with the machine gun. By the time he realizes I'm on top of him, I've already fragged him, and I took his little railgun!
If Q3 energizes me, then NiGHTS is my prozac. NiGHTS is a frequently mis-understood game from Sonic Team on the Sega Saturn. Everytime I play this game, I feel a little bit better. It's just so...cerebral. It's hard to describe, but after I play it everything seems a little better. It's the main reason I'll never sell my Saturn.
Just two weeks... 14 days... However many hours... And I'll be in my own room at college. In the past, I've been dreading college. I'm not sure why. I can't believe I hesitated to apply for housing. I can't fucking wait to get out of this house, and my stupid father. It'll be weird having my own dorm room, though. I can't complain, though. I see it as my liberation. My chance to be who I really am. I hope my optimism isn't setting me up for a disapointment...
Remember what I said a few days ago, about the press sucking? Entertainment Tonight proved me right. Some new FOX show, Manchester Prep, is going to have a scene where a girl gets an orgasm while on horesback. Now, I thought that was just plain bizarre...not offensive. ET, seeing a chance to capitalize on controversey, went fucking apeshit. Over the course of three days they probably showed the scene ten times, or more! Of course they found some outraged parents nearby to justify the gratuitous use of the scene. FOX ended up caving in, and said they would not show it. But what the fuck does that matter now? ET actually had the balls to critize FOX for airing the show at at 8pm! ET is in syndication, but I'm sure it's aired before 8pm in most places, and they've just showed everyone the scene a dozen times! I'm sure ET got pleanty of ratings for it, too.
