.: Lots :.
Well, a lot of stuff happened. For starters, Christmas & Christmas Eve. Those two were really good to me this year for a change. I actually got things that were cool and I'll be playing around with for a long time. A total of $65, a nice stereo, some college stuff (two foldup hampers & detergent), four GCN games (I Ninja, 007:Agent Under Fire [which I have yet to play], LOTR: The Two Towers, and [best for last] Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker), a handy little MP3 player with 128 mb (but you can put a 512 expansion card in it), a few new penguin plushies, a set of pajama's, and a long sleeved shirt that I probably won't wear because I don't wear long sleeved shirts. So yeah, Christmas was great this year. I've been playing Wind Waker pretty much all day every day since I got it, except for yesterday, which I will now go into.
Yesterday was a complex and fun day. The original plan was to go to Mark's house and play Risk with a bunch of people and make a huge event out of it. Only, three people dropped out, and then I was invited to go to a LAN party... So I went to Mark's, where we did indeed play risk with three people (including me), but I did my best to juggle the two events and ended up leaving early on in the day to head over to the LAN party. Turns out the LAN party was mostly not worth going to, we did very little in the way of LAN'ing, and everybody was being a douche. Matt (the host) was prime example, for calling AO a bad game when he has yet to play it. Ugh. I can understand some people's distaste in that the combat is indeed a tad slow, but that is also because he didn't pick a fast paced profession. You can't expect an engineer to be a fast paced class, it's more of a class that is stuck in the background supporting. We did play some LAN games though, for example about a half hour of CounterStrike followed by an hour of Unreal Tournament 2003. But by and large we did nothing. In the end, I come home with a slightly screwed up monitor (because mine really really hates being moved around by car) and only a few hours of solid gaming under my belt for the day. I'm trying to enjoy my holiday break here ><. Uhm, Yeah thats pretty much whats happened. I'd like to think I'm close to finished with Wind Waker, with all the hours I've put into it, but I don't believe I'm more than halfway there, if even that. I've only had to look at a guide once, when I was supposed to figure out a password to get into a pirate ship but couldn't figure it out. Turns out I wasn't supposed to be able to figure it out, I was supposed to go somewhere else on the island and overhear a conversation where they mentioned it. But I had no idea >.<
Anyway, another LAN party is coming up on the 30th, and is supposed to come on through to the 31st, which should call for some pretty intense gaming. I'm looking forward to it, I should probably practice playing FPS's for a while, as that is what most LAN parties end up playing. Although, I know we won't be playing CounterStrike because at least two people there have a grudge against it.
Uhm, so my dad went to BestBuy yesterday, and in completly unlike him fashion, bought a 120GB harddrive for me. I'm paying him back, of course, but it's a nice one for only $50. Totally worth it. So right now I'm moving all my music over to my new drive, and I already moved all my Naruto over. More to go though, need it all off for some extra space on my first drive, lots of games going on that thing in two day's I think. Alright, enough boring you peoples.
