Wyvern, Passion for Gaming

Hello all you beautiful people! I decided to post today before I left for school. Check out my main website (link on the side) today as I have a Halloween comic up today and a new Top Tens List.

As I said in my update today, I'm going to Andrew's house today for some good times. Teh spiffies! Happiness all around. It apparently rained last night because the ground outside is moist. So I sit at the computer here with pants on. Oh dear lord, not pants! I hardly wear pants this early into the fall and winter seasons. It may not be winter yet, technically, but it sure looks like it.

You ever have that disgusting taste in your mouth when you wake up? Yeah, that sucks. I got it right now and I want it gone. So I'm going to leave now. Yeah, what a goodbye. Halitosis everybody!

There's only one thing I hate more than posting a blog on one of these computers in the University Union. And that's trying to understand how you work the interface setup for posting your blog while using a Macintosh computer. I friggin' don't get it, give me a PC any day.

Anywho, thought I'd post. Thought I'd say stuff. Thought it would be intelligent. Thought wrong.

I'm going to Peter's today (after a wonderful weekend filled with .JPG, the comic strip work) to work on that damn MIDI for my song, Hey Beautiful, that I've been neglecting. Geez! Also, I was supposed to show Peter The Castles of Doctor Creep while over at his house this last weekend but I couldn't since Glen's computer was more important (and I'm not mad about it, if it seems that way) and needed to use the keyboard from Peter's computer. Not much one can do without a keyboard and the on - screen keyboard Glen found isn't convenient enough for playing emulated games. FINGERS ARE A MUST!

Ever get a song stuck in your head? Yeah, that's happening to me right now. I've been listening to music from the game Jet Set Radio Future that I've burned onto CDs and I got one in particular that I hear almost every morning when my alarm goes off stuck in my head. It gets annoying after a while.

That reminds me, I need to grab my CD I let Peter borrow back. Maybe we can rip it at his house before I leave so he can still have the songs. Maybe. Oh well. Pizza!

Well, quick blurb right now. In moments from now, hopefully, I'll be wisked away to go over to Peter's house. TO WORK ON OUR WEB COMIC! Yeah, spiffies! I haven't really been working on this blog as much, but it's 'cause I've been extremely involved with my Commodore 64 emulator and The Castles of Dr. Creep. I loved that game and I still love that game! LOL!

The other problem with this blog is that it ends up taking away from what I can talk about in my updates to my site each week. Like today, where I've had probably my shortest update since the move to the Sac State server where I could start saving my updates. But it's all gravy. I really don't know what to talk about, so I'll quote something my brother wrote in his journal for his language arts class. He's just like me when it comes to silliness and strangeness.

"Just to let you know, I like to write or talk stupidly. Never mind; here is a list of stuff. Spam, chicken, cheese, monkey, cats rule over dogs, nonsense words, Lincolnburg, Lord Popcorn, and last but not least, squiggly - squooch. I got that last one from a cartoon, Invader Zim."

As said in the last Life of Riley comic I read, smeggin' android!

I haven't posted in five days 'cause I've had other things on my mind. Mainly, this entire past five days have been filled with me getting and playing on two emulators that are extreme happiness factors! :P

First off, I got another simulator for DDR that I had a while back that I had gotten rid of. I wanted to be able to play some oni modes I had picked up. I'm not so hot with them because they're completely off from the music. However, I enjoy the Magic Stage mode a lot. It's similiar to Versus Mode except for one added thing. The computer randomly throws in mods to your game (like 3x speed or hidden) and you have to play with those mods. It'll keep on shifting to different mods throughout the entire song. Friggin' fun! Although, standard difficulty for now as hard songs are extremely hard on reverse boost (where it comes up super fast and slows down right at the end where I can't see shit).

The other emulator I got was a Commodore 64 emulator. AND I GOT HECKA GAMES THAT I HAD ON THE COMMODORE THAT I HAD AS A KID! The Castles of Dr. Creep, Ghostbusters, Paperboy; really old games that I played as a kid and enjoyed a lot more than most of the games I play today.

I sit here in the University Union thinking, "What the hell am I going to do for the rest of today?" Really, I think I may go into auto - pilot for the next two days. I'll probably go mooch on DDR after posting this, go to class, go home, play some emulated Castles of Dr. Creep, go to my brother's 13th birthday dinner (with some family), come home and sleep 'til I wake up tomorrow, IGNORE ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN SCHOOL TOMORROW (LOL!), and go home where GP will be waiting to spend time at my house. He'll be glued to the tube (go Jet Set Radio Future! :P) and I'll be working on the computer. SEE?! The entirity of the next two days is completely set! Auto - pilot man, auto - pilot. Oh well, whatever.

Smeggin' arseholes, time to go!

OMG!!!

MINH FROM GLORIA DEI HAS RESIGNED!!

For Glen, Andrew, and I, this is a big thing. I just found out that Minh was resigning from a post in a friend of mine's blog (Pete, for those of you who might know who I'm talking about). You can read that post here; it's like his entire resignation letter.

Tear! That guy was so cool! May he go on to bigger and better things.

It's been a long time since I last posted.
And it's one more day in Sacramento town.
And if you could give me something to talk about...

...I think you should.

NAAA, NA - NA, NA! NAAA NA - NAAA NA - NAAA NA - NA NA NA!

Yeah, I parody when I can. Some people hate it, I love it. So there.

Yeah, anywho, I haven't posted for awhile. Since Monday, what? Peter and I went to see a movie last night (School of Rock for the second time, s'all good). And we played a little bit of arcade. I swear, if we don't go to the Arcadia next summer or to the nickel arcade GP and I saw an ad for during the first time I saw School of Rock soon, evil will take hold in my heart. Not really, just trying to freak 'ya! :P

My internet connection went all screwy earlier; I couldn't log on to my FTP server for my site. It was horrible. But a good shut down and reboot of the computer and the modem did the trick. And now I leave you, because I'm a fuzzy bastard.

Whew! The weekend blew past like a whirlwind. I pretty much had a very uneventful weekend. Save for the fact that I finished up my Strong Bad costume that I needed for reading a children's story in one of my classes today. Talk to me later if that didn't make sense.

Anywho, I'll try to get a picture of the costume up ASAP if I can convince Glen to take a picture of me with his online camera. That is, after he gets his system up to full running capacity again. I won't dispense of the major details about his computer problems, I'll just say that soon it will be back and he'll be faster than ever.

WHICH MEANS, I have to get working again. It's hard to be purposely vague and try to let people know what's going on at the same time. Let's just say that there is a project going on between Glen, Andrew H., and myself. You'll just have to speculate what kind of project that might be. :P

I apologize if I offended anyone with my rant about Arnold last Friday. I was just EXTREMELY pissed off about it and had to talk. I apologize but I do not rescind my post as it still stands that I believe those words.

In stranger news, last week I had two conversations with two separate people online about Christianity. I had thought that I was finished my work with one of those two people, but I guess God had more in store for me. I will go where he leads me.

Anywho, before I scare off anyone who thinks I'm speaking a bunch of hoo - ha, I will end with this.























What?! You expected actually words?

Ok, I must talk about something that has been bothering me for the past couple of days. It all began on October 7th. Can you guess why? If you can't, then you belong in California, as we're apparently 49th in education in the US. Sad.

Anywho, my rant is this; EVERYONE PLEASE STOP BITCHING THAT ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER GETTING THE GOVERNORSHIP! The term "governator" is something that was used by either people who wanted to hype up the idea that Arnold was going to run. I'm upset that people aren't realizing that Arnold Schwarzenegger is, in a huge amount of other people in this state and my opinion, the one candidate between Cruz Bustamante and Arnold that had a better plan for our state. First off, realize that Arnold wasn't trying to get the governership to further his political career. For one, he can't get very high in this government of ours because the constitution has put a limit on who can gain higher government positions. That limit being that you have to be a native born citizen of the United States. Opinions of such a limit aside, it limits what Arnold can do anyhow. Plus, think of it. He has a genuine concern for our state; he's not blinded by the power of politics. Arnold wanted to be governor because he felt that it was something he must do. The porn queen and Gary Coleman just wanted to try and get in because you could get 15% of the vote and win. Arnold wanted to CHANGE OUR SITUATION. So please, stop bitching that, "Oh, we have a governator. Our economy is going down the shit hole. I'm moving to New Hampshire." I'm tired of it and I want people to realize that Arnold became governor not because he's the Terminator, not because he's popular, it's because he had a concern that ex - Governor Gray Davis was not doing his job and he felt that he had a better plan for our state. And because Arnold had that concern, he ran, he fought, he got people's attention, people listened, they voted. End of story. The next person I hear who uses the term "governator" in a derogatory manner towards OUR GOVERNOR will be seriously repremanded. I'm done, good night Sacramento.

Oh well on the football thing! Can't have everything I want, right?

Anywho, one last thing Peter; I think that your first comic was fucking hilarious. Oh, I cracked up! That is so me. Call me on Saturday and we can talk about a character for myself. I'm going to be home late tonight and I got work tomorrow. So yeah.

Wow, this has become like a very primitive form of instant messaging. I mean, all Peter and I have been doing the past couple of days is talking to each other through the BLOG. LOL!

For the rest of you on the internet reading this right now, which is about three of you, I'm going to go see The Matrix Reloaded tonight at Sac State! That's right! Somehow, they got a LEGAL copy of the film and they're hosting a free showing of it tonight at 7:30PM! Unfortunately, it looks as if GP isn't going to be here to watch it with me as he said he usually gets home at 3:15PM on Thursdays and it's almost 4PM. Thus, I can safely say he's not comin'. Oh well!

I played some DDR today, getting better. I just need to build up my endurance. By the end of the Non - Stop course I played, I was drowning in sweat and getting only perfects and greats, no marvelous'. Oh well!

Well, I got not much else to say. Later!

I swear, Game FAQs's poles are getting more and more obvious by the day.

Hey everybody! It's time for a blog!

I hadn't been using the internet almost the entire day yesterday. Technically yesterday, still fresh in my memory, yada - yada - yada. Anywho, I was working on the storyline for my comic. As soon as I get that done, I can stop doing the filler comics. HUZZAH! Happies.

Hey Peter, you were talking about needing to figure out a Halloween costume? Heh, you should dress up as Homestar. That way, I can hit you! LOL! J/K, it's just that because I'm already going to be dressing up as Strong Bad for a class of mine, I've decided to use that as my, quote un - quote, costume.

I don't know why, but I like the sound of quote un - quote better than just seeing quotation marks; it reads better in my opinion.

I'm 3 - 2 in the Pascoal family league and I hope to go 4 - 2! Not to be an ass but I hope all those people in the league that are 4 - 1 lose. That way, I can catch up! :P I'm so evil!

Alright, I'm done for now. Later!

EDIT: (12:49:15 PM)
Here's an outlook I made of our the entire Pacoal Family League. I took all the teams and ranked them according to their records, then their wins within their divisions, then their full stock of fantasy points. This ranking, is of course, not caring about who's in what division but deals with all the teams against all the other teams. Ok, I'm done! Goodnight! Me go sleepy now!

He he, like this wasn't already obvious.

Well, yesterday night was a very exciting time for me. I watched the Indianapolis vs. Tampa Bay game that went on and, O... M... G... the Bucs gave up their win! It was so in the bag but Tampa Bay pulled a 49er's! They started giving up on defense towards the 4th quarter, allowing the Colts to tie them and go into overtime. Then, the Colts got a field goal in OT, making them the victors.

So guess what? Because of Keenan McCardell and head coach of the Colts, Tony Dungy, I won in the Pascoal Family football league this week. McCardell got 106 yards and two touchdowns (plus 57 yards and another touchdown for his fumble recovery run). That's like 22 points without the fumble recovery, 34 with it. W00T! I R H4PPY, H4PPY M4N!

So yeah, that's what my happy rant was about yesterday! LOL!

Right now, I'm in the computer room in the Sac State union and actually not really wondering about much. The thing is, I've got this entire day planned out. Wake up, go to school, go to first class, get my project for Graphic Design printed out, work on the computer here at school, go to second class, get on lightrail, go vote in the recall election going on today, go home, do stuff. Ok, so the last part of the day is unscheduled, but who cares? I'm on fuckin' auto pilot right now and it feels great. LOL!

Peter, I love you man! You actually did beat your father, despite the fact that Edgerrin James was injured. THAT MEANS NO ONE IS UNDEFEATED IN OUR LEAGUE! HAPPIES!

A' ight, I got not much else to say. Later, coo cats!

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!!!!

I just got 13 points with one play by one guy. Fantasy football rocks!

LOL! Later!

Hey, I went out and got a new innertube for my bike. So I get to use the bike again! Happies! That's become like my new word for extreme happiness. Hmmm, makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

Also, I started to read some of my old Calvin & Hobbes books again. Even though I've read them all, going back is a good thing 'cause I can understand hecksa more of the language used in the comic. So I get more out of the humor. For example, Calvin's dad is reading a book about fixing his sink before he does so. What he reads is, "Before beginning any home - plumbing repair, make sure you possess the proper tools for the job. Check the following list of handy expletives, and see that you know how to use them." When started reading these comics, I had no idea what the word expletives meant. So now it's funnier to me. :P

I got work today and then I'll be back around 9PM tonight. Check to see if I'm online! A' ight, later!

Man oh man, today's been semi - interesting. So, everyone take a a numbah two penthil and we'll begin.

The first piece of stuff doesn't happen until pretty late in the day. During my last class (which is like from 12:30 to 3:50 in the afternoon), I got a lot done for my project that's due next week. Printing and copying that thing's going to be a hastle, but I'll make it... somehow.

ANYWHO, I got out of that class early so I went to the Union today to play a few DDR rounds. I'm getting better and I know it. Today, when I went to go play a non - stop course on the higher setting, I lasted longer than I have before. My legs are getting used to being used more often through my bike riding to school and playing DDR again. Happies!

Next, anger. I went to go get some chips and a drink from the vending machines. EXCEPT ALL OF THE UNION MACHINES SUCK AND DON'T TAKE SHIT!!! I'm serious, I shoved bills and coins up it's ass and it wouldn't accept a thing. So I walked half way across campus just to get a drink.

Ok, so I go to get my bike. EXCEPT I FIND THAT THE FRONT TIRE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO AIR!!! Apparently, I somehow got a flat tire today without knowing what popped it. Now I have no bike. I filled the tire with full air before coming home from work so I could atleast ride home. We'll see if that air holds (doubt it).

The entire ride from school to work today was also infuriating. Or atleast it was burdening; I had two different packs (one my backpack, the other my clothes in a pack) and my bike to roll along. I was sweaty, sore, tired, and about ready to fall asleep. But once I got into my work clothes and didn't have to carry my stuff around anymore, I suddenly had a burst of energy out of nowhere. It felt hecka good.

Alright, so today I was supposed to be at work from 5:30 to 9PM. Instead, I clocked in around 5 (funny story on that later) and got out at around almost 10PM! It was hecksa busy today, meaning I got more hours! More happies!

So now I'm home and I realize that it's actually October 4th technically. Eh, I'm too lazy to go edit all the todays into yesterdays. So it was yesterday, big deal. Still feels like today to me. Anyhow, my legs are sore from standing at work for five hours. Oops, forgot about the funny story. Here it is: I forgot to clock in at work today. I was working for free on accident! LOL! :P So luckily, Zoua (my shift leader) realized that and clocked me back in at 5 in the computer. That way I get payed. Anywho (I've been saying that a lot now, haven't I?), I'm almost gone here anyhow, so I'll talk to you guys later.

You know what sucks? I have work tomorrow and I really don't care to go. Yet I have to. The other thing that sucks is my money problems. Does anyone have a job I can do? I need more money. Alright, I just needed to bitch and get on with my life. Later!

Just a quick blurb for now. I REALLY enjoy the new lightrail system. It friggin' rocks! That and I again hope to do extrememly well in my football leagues this weekend. Alright, that's all for now! LOL! Shortness!

OH... MY... GOODNESS!!!!

Today has been an excellent day for me. And let me tell you why!

First off, I tried out the new lightrail that happens to run like right near my house. Yeah, Sacramento Regional Transit like just opened up the new Southline lightrail running from Meadowview (not even 5 minutes from my house) to Downtown. So now I'll be taking lightrail to school. Spiffies!

The next thing is that I had a pretty awesome day hanging out with GP. He and I played muchos DDR and then went downtown to go see a preview of the new Jack Black movie coming out, School of Rock. That movie was a whole lot better than I thought it was going to be. It was funny and yet a good story; something you rarely expect from people that you've come to know as the "stupid humor" type. AKA - Jim Carrey and Jack Black. I'm not saying I don't enjoy their kind of humor, I just know that it's really stupid things that make me laugh a lot of times.

And finally, when I went and checked my e - mail this evening (after coming home from Downtown on the new lightrail again [I R obsessed]), I found waiting for me my first fan mail for my comic outside of my friends who already read it. What an ego boost that was, LOL!

So that was my day. I need to start my penny pinching now. So no more DDR next week. *tear*

Oh well, it's what happens to Poor Broke White Boys. We have our own association you know; Chris Swarner's the president. Alright, I'm out! Later.
