Smoking Section

don't sneeze on my console

I have been sneezing for the last 45 minutes. Is that a record or something? Shouldn't I get some money or some recognition or a life time supply of kleenex?
Yesterday was pretty laid back. We ended up not going to VooDoo fest. We didn't go anywhere. I was tired and didn't feel like moving much and Joel had a headache for most of the afternoon so we were a bunch of lay abouts not doing much of anything. So now I am apparently getting sick or having an allergy attack. Watched the Simpson's Halloween special last night. Not very good if you ask me. I was trying to find something humorous in it and chuckled here and there, but the magic was gone I suppose. The jokes were either too dumb and obvious for me to laugh at or too smart and obscure that they went over my head. It was probably a good combination of the two. We should be getting the Harry Potter Quiddich World Cup game for the GameCube soon. I returned Ultimate Muscle and Project Number 3 to Gamefly Thursday or Friday and I think Quiddich came out on Thursday. Ultimate Muscle was a pretty fun game. The really cool part being that you can play as a character named Dik Dik Van Dik. Hehe. Dik Dik. He says it enough in the game. It is quite amusing. There are different modes in which you can play. Play against your friends or the computer in vs mode. There is story mode where each ultimate muscle character has their unique story. That mode isn't very long either, but fun and it unlocks other characters to play with. And there is a trophy mode as well. If Dik Dik Van Dik isn't amusing enough for you there is a customizable feature so you can create your own ultimate muscle champion.
Project Number 3 was interesting. You play as this woman whose family were killed by these robots so when you grow up naturally you go into a vocation that will exterminate these robots. Now, it was supposed to be like a dancing/shooting/killing/doing cool moves type of game. It does look good at first. The movement is fluid. The scenery looks robot-postapoctolypitic but then you start to play the game. The levels are repeatative. You go down the same white hallway with the same robots trying to kill you. Well, that's not bad, I can still do these cool moves....what? I can't shoot when I do these flashy ballerina-like moves. So I can move out of the way but can't defend myself when I do it? That sucks. She flips and twists and turns and even puts her hands out at the landing like a gymnast. If she is as bad ass as the game leads you to beleive she is, she should be able to shoot while she is dancing about like a fairy. Anyway. That game wasn't as fun as Ultimate Muscle. What was I talking about earlier? Oh, yeah, Quiddich. I read a review of it in Electronic Gaming Monthly and they didn't give it a good review. The things you need to play a multiplayer game, which is the whole point of us getting the game, has to be unlocked in the single player game. I plan on playing it alot when we get it so I can hurry up and unlock the stuff so we can play it with some friends. It will be fun to play anyway, which is the whole point. Joel told me that there is a new X-Files game coming out on all platforms at some point. Maybe next year? That will be interesting to see what they come up with. I have the first X-Files game for the PC, it is also available on the PS1. It is hard. I haven't beat it, well, I haven't really played it all that much. The guy you play as is pretty dorky and reminded me a lot of Krychek when he first started out. Well, I am going to go and blow my nose again and perhaps drink some hot tea. Maybe I will work on some homework, but I doubt it. Later.
