Hmmm....

So, on Thursday J invited me out to grab something to eat. He's having a tough go of it. The man that trained him is dying and he just wanted to take his mind off of it. So, we went out to grab some pizza and the next thing I know it's 2200 and I'm sitting in a bar singing at the top of my lungs. It's karoke night. Of course, I hadn't had any liquid courage(I had to work the next day) but it was fun nonetheless. J did go up on stage and sang a Vanilla Ice song. He was amazing. People jumping on stage and this guy(who he thought was hot) jumped up on stage and rapped with him.

One annoying thing was this chick who brought her baby into the bar.  Technically it was a cafe because they served food but seriously? The music is blasting, there's cigarette smoke(no smoking in the place but you know how smoke lingers on clothes) and she brings her 5/6 month old kid? Yay, mama of the year you are.

So yeah, this shook me out of my slump and J wants to do it again next week. Next schedule out we have the same days off so should be good times. I'll probably start working on my stories soon~ish. And I'll be getting to all the stories that I've missed since I really haven't been on the internet for the last few days.

And what HAVE I been doing? I was fixing my gaming shelf(shut your face!:P) and I stumbled across a PC game I'd brought a year ago on sell. Just a few shots for good times. Plus...I've been reading the Twilight series. J is super excited...me? Not so much! I think I'm going to reread LOTR and some Jane Austen and maybe move onto Bronte or something.



Opening graphic. Dude, that wolf is fierce. The Witcher was developed by a Polish company. They first game! 




Geralt is the main character. He's lost his memory and has to relearn all this stuff again. I was surprised my laptop plays the game so well.




Cut scene.










Where is the freakin; torch? I got my butt handed to me by a ghoul because I couldn't see it in the dark! GAH!

Good lord, the woman who brought her baby in there is a moron! I hope someone at least told her to get out of there. Seriously, some people should just never be allowed to have children.

Huh. I've never heard of that game before (apart from Sims 2, I don't really play any PC games), but it looks like fun. I love RPGs because they're like playing out a story. All of my friends are about the graphics, but I couldn't care less about graphics as long as a game has a great storyline (a là Legend of Zelda or OMFGTALESOFSYMPHONIA!!) and at least a decent playstyle (probably the only reason I never liked Fire Emblem--if I wanted to play chess, I'd use a board).

And then of course, I'll occasionally go for something short and cute, like Yoshi's Story (squee!!), or for large groups, something like Smash Bros... or Rock Band :P

Sorry, totally nerding out on your comments section... moving on...

Glad you and J had fun with karaoke. Karaoke = WIN

[phoenixfg.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she was totally a moron! But she seemed like she was cool with it so...it was annoying. I couldn't believe it when I saw it! It's one of those things were you have to do a double take!

I ♥ RPG games! And I started playing PC games after the Sims 2. I saw this one when looking to see if there was a Sims 2 game that I didn't have yet and it was on sale and looked awesome so I had to get it! I'm about the graphics too...for the most part. And...

YOSHI!!!!! I love that little dino! I haven't played Rock Band yet!

Thanks Van! It was good times! I needed it!

[n0rademi.livejournal.com]

Wow, the graphics look sick.

I've been to kereoke about two times but I've never actually sung. And I don't think I'll ever try it, thank you very much. For one, the singers that go up are awesome.

The mom bringing the baby in... it's kinda... funny. I could imagine her bring the kid in those car seat things. I know, I know, I'm weird....

[phoenixfg.livejournal.com]

LOL! Thanks! I thought it would look crappy on the laptop but was uber happy!

The singers that went up that night were...meh! Some of them were good but some...not so much! Haha!!

No, it wasn't even in a car seat. She was just carrying it around and dancing with it. Weird!

I'm glad you had a good time with J; sounds like it was ariot! =) I'd love to do karaoke but at the same time I am much too shy. I'm sure it would take a LOT of liquid courage for me to get up there.

Someone brought a baby in there?! Wow, she's a brilliant mother isn't she? -.-

That game looks pretty good!

[phoenixfg.livejournal.com]

It was Yui! And thanks!:) For everything!!:D I'ma do it the next time...after a few drinks that is! hahaha!

Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! Gah! I wanted to punch her in the back of the head! *insert angry face here*

It is! I play it constantly! It's nice to actually PLAY a game ya know?:P

[gloomaphobia.livejournal.com]

Oh god, once me and my sister got up to do Grease Lighting, then just before the song started she ran off. I had to sing it by myself, god it was embarrassing. And I'm glad you're feeling better, J sounds hilarious. And that game look pretty cool. I have a game shelf too :)

[phoenixfg.livejournal.com]

That sounds like something that I would do! haha!! Thanks! It was good times! And he's freakin' hilarious!! Haha!

It's fun! I wonder why I didn't play it awhile ago!? Game shelves unite!:P

You need a catpotion sweetness. :) that is the way to do that place with the ghouls.

Hope it helps :)

[phoenixfg.livejournal.com]

I went online and saw that I needed that! I read it was better than a torch! I just have to figure out how to make it!

Sweet! Thanks for the link! I hope I have all those ingredients!!

[azzy.livejournal.com]

i think they actually tell you where to get the different ingredients in that thread.

You can do it with a torch but it sucks ass, the first time you go down there, theres only two ghouls tho, and i don't know.. maybe a cat portion is a bit much, you can efficiently lure them out one by one and kill them in the dark, i mean lure them while holding the torch, and then get out your sword when you lured it far enough. The second time, there are far more ghouls, and you are totally dependent on the cat portion. but for good reasons i cant tell if its the first or second time you're down there. :)

[phoenixfg.livejournal.com]

Niiice!! I'm at work but I brought my laptop so I can game later. I'll make sure I look at that!

I know when I went in down there there were three or four attacking me(or maybe I thought there were that many since I was in the dark!:P) I'll probably try to draw them into the light and whip them that way.

This is a fun game! I love RPG games and knowing that different decisions make the quest different!

[azzy.livejournal.com]

i fucking ADORE Geralt, he rocks! Have you ever played 'the suffering'? if not then you should.

[phoenixfg.livejournal.com]

Haha!! Me too! They did a close up of him and I was like: "Ohh...scars!!!" That opening scene is crazy right?

Gah! No! What is that? Ohh...I just went on Amazon to check it out! That game looks amazing!! I'm going to have to get it! LOL!!

[azzy.livejournal.com]

hah i love his snarky remarks throughout the game, and his 'lets dance' is just priceless! and yes the openeing scene is crazy alright.

The suffering is a pretty old game, so if it can run the witcher then it sure as shit can run The suffering. and the main character in that one, Torq is made of all things kick ass.. and i have to admit that that game had me jumping more than once.

[phoenixfg.livejournal.com]

Yeah, his snarky comments have me laughing! I love his whole attitude. I sat there and watched the opening scene a few times! Haha!

Oh man!!! That looks wicked!!! I'm going to have to get it. Maybe I'll buy it for the PS2. I haven't touched that thing in forever! :( I was reading the reviews on amazon and you weren't the only one that was scared! I LOVE scary games!

[azzy.livejournal.com]

beware that you need the game called 'prison is hell' and NOT i repeat NOT the one called 'the tie that binds' cause that is CRAP!

i love scary games too, S.T.A.L.K.E.R had me jumping too, and so did left 4 dead.

[phoenixfg.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw that one too! Thanks for the heads up!

I've heard a lot about left 4 dead! I might have to look into that sometime later! Games are my addiction! I used to get two or three every paycheck! Haha!

[azzy.livejournal.com]

let me recomend this too, i havent played 'project origin' yet myself, but the people i know who loved the first FEAR game,, said that this was totally kick ass!

[phoenixfg.livejournal.com]

Dude!! DUDE!!! You're killing me!!! I need to start a list of games!

[azzy.livejournal.com]

heh... glad to be of service. ^_^
