Randomness of Lauren.

New years, old hats.

2011-01-04T06:08:00.000-06:00

Blahh. I haven't posted in over a week. My apologizes. Anywho, Happy New year, my readers! I have a set of new year resolutions, I guess I might as well list some of them here ass filler. I plan on gaming more, or at least beating more games. I plan on reading more, which I bought a kindle and it ought to be getting here today. (Hopefully.) I plan on exploring my creative side more, wither its drawing or writing. I plan on getting my GED and getting into school in the fall. (I'll be so upset with myself, if I don't do this one.) I plan on getting my hygiene better, and being healthier in general. And last, but definitely not least, I plan on being more social and going out more. I really should be hiding at home all day, erry day.

The other night I played P.B. Winterbottom, and I actually streamed it too. No one really watched, but its recorded, so feel free to watch me fail and rage. Follow the white rabbit~

I also upgraded my RAM to 3.0 instead of 2.0. I did that because vista was being a dick and saying I had 1.7g of memory for when I wanted to play vidya.

I hope you all have a great new year and enjoy the future of me, Lauren.

It has been far too long since my last update, there is so much to say, yet not enough time. I'll just start out with the basics.

I got myself a game cube a month ago, its been a while since I had one. And since I got it I played ToZ: Wind Waker, and I proudly say beat it. I have a bad habit when it comes to video games. I get distracted rather quickly. The current game I am playing on my lovely game cube is Resident Evil 4. I am the furthest I have ever been on this game, yet again I am proud. I'm on the second disc of that. I also bought myself Tales of Symphonia. I can't wait to play that, possibly with my boyfriend.

Steam is having some nice Holiday sales, Which I am trying to take advantage of. The first day of the sale I got my own copy of F.E.A.R Bundle and the Deus Ex Bundle. I spent less then $6 on both of those games together. I also got myself Humble Bundle #2, which I found out today I get the first bundle as well. I have a fair number of games that I either for free, or for a decent price. If you're curious <here> is the list of my current games on Steam. I would be playing a lot of them, but my computer is the best for gaming.

Not to long ago I played System Shock 2 with my boyfriend. He did most of the work, sadly. But we should replay that soon, so I can do a better job and actually know what the heck I'm doing.

I guess that is enough of an update for now, I'll try to post more often. Even if its small. Possibly I'll do some streaming too.

2010-10-07T03:02:00.000-05:00

Mini update.

I has good news, I'm currently downloading Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. It should be done by noon or so. Once I get it all done I should be able to play with strangers instead of playing with friends! Oh joy.

People can add me on steam, simplypsychotic.

In the absence of forgetfulness.

2010-10-07T00:11:00.000-05:00

Hello all. I'm sorry for the lack of posting. I've been distracted with ogling games as of late. I finally downloaded steam in the hopes of being able to get the Left 4 Dead bundle pack while its still on sale. No luck yet, but I have until 4pm tomorrow. I really want it because I love left 4 dead, and I want to be able to play the new campaign, even if people are complaining about it.

When I downloaded steam it told me that I had portal in my que for downloading, so I've been dinking around with portals a little bit. I first got my steam account when they were giving away Portal for free. I also downloaded Alien swarm, Half-Life2: Deathmatch, and Half-life 2: Lost coast. I haven't played Half-life or Half-life 2, so I should get those at some point. But these games require money. And do you know what I don't have? Money. I'd be more then happy to get The Orange box, since I kinda want to play TF2.

The annoying thing about steam is that I can't add people as a friend. It's distressing. I downloaded Alien Swarm just so I can play a Multi-player game with my friends. But I can't add anyone because I don't own a game that wasn't a free copy. I could add people if I either bought a game or someone gifted me the games, but alas, I can't.

If people want to possibly add me on Steam, if they can my ID is simplypsychotic.

Lost all hope in the Zombie raids.

2010-10-02T04:15:00.002-05:00

So, Deadslip (Eric) and I got around to playing some Left 4 Dead 2 this evening/night. Shit was not pleasant, yo. The first campaign we did together was a fan map, which I was all extra glitchy. Some of the time I couldn't even move. The second campaign we did was Dark Carnival, did pretty decent, at least in my opinion.

The final stage at the concert was brutal though. Helicopter came and there were at least 4 specials. One of those was a flipping Tank. I already had my health low, I didn't want to deal with the Tank, I just wanted to get to the chopper. Thanks to a few specials I got knocked down and died almost right away. Along with the two bots. Eric was trying to get there, but then he got taken down as well. It was brutal man. BRUTAL.

On a side note, I revamped my tumblr, and hopefully I can get around to using it for posting my photography. Once I start taking pictures again.

Q&A of doom.

2010-09-30T23:35:00.002-05:00

So, in my previous post I was thinking about doing a Q&A, and a few people said it was a good idea, so I might as well do it.

Leave comments here so I can answer your questions. I'll try to update this post as much as possible.

Click the read more to see the questions and answers.

1. Have you ever been in a serious accident?

Actually, no I haven't. The most serious injury I've had was me fracturing my right foot. The Doctor called it a Jones fracture. It happened at a school dance, I was acting all emo and shit. But finally a song that I like came on and I went running to the dance floor, trying to take off my shoes in the process. My foot got caught on my dress that was slightly torn, and I slipped on the floor, which was also dusty. I was laughing until I noticed I could get up with out shit tons of pain,

2. What is your favorite pet?

I've only had Cats and Hamsters and pets, so it might be a little biased, I like kitties. I want a dog though, I've never had one.

3. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a wood chuck could cite a house with aluminum citing at 3.8 meters per minute with a 3 minute break per hour for 8 hours a day for one month, taking saturdays and wednesdays off?

Not enough to be able to pay for child support, thats sure.

4. Why do you like to scare yourself VIA videogames?

I don't really know, actually. I guess it give me a way to possibly be more brave, even though I keep failing and just wuss out. xD

5. Why are you such a wuss?
I'm not really sure. I don't think I've had the chance to man up when it comes to playing and watching things in the Horror genre. Part of that could be because my father was never in my life, or I could just be BSing an answer since I'm such a girly-girl.

6. Who is your favorite youtube user?
Oh. Wow. I actually don't go on youtube enough to watch peoples videos. I like MarbleHornets. I'm just sad that they're done with that. Venetian Princess is pretty good too. Most of the time when I'm on youtube I'm just looking for random stuff.

7. Do you like Pokemon? What's your favorite?
Why, yes, I like Pokemon. That was one of the things that made my generation. At least in my opinion it did. Its hard to say who is my favorite. I will always have love for Pikachu, but I also love Haunter. Flaaffy is getting its way up there as well.

This isn't going to get me down.

2010-09-29T23:22:00.000-05:00

This is a short update for now. Mabinogi has a fishing event going on right now, so I spent a fair amount of time with that running. I got a few items too. My friend, Hank, called me a cheater because I got so many 'rare' items. I called it noob luck.

I'm going to play F.E.A.R here soon, not going to live stream it since my laptop sucks. But I am going to have a Skype call with Hank while he possibly plays Fatal Frame. So I have support while playing a scary game. I haven't played Fatal Frame, but part of me wants to.

On the note of me being sick; Its gotten to the annoying stage of the runny nose. Hopefully this will be set and done with soon.

I'm thinking of having a Q&A about myself. Either here or just use my dusty formspring for you all to ask questions from me. What do you think about that?

Thats right, I said it. I'm a wuss.

2010-09-28T23:37:00.000-05:00

I might as well post now, since I'll probably forget about it later.

I played F.E.A.R a few minutes ago. All I can say, shit was not cash. Shit was scary. I finished the first two parts, stopped right after I saw the girl. Who was walking down the hallways with flames brewing. That wasn't that scary, other then her in general. I got scared when things jumped at me. I think I'm going to need to fix my mouse settings though, it's a bit too.... Sensitive.

As the wuss that I am, I'm playing on the low/easy mode. I'm not the best at FPS games, I hope to be able at some point. The only game(s) I played a lot that were FPSs were Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2.

I want to continue to play F.E.A.R. But I might wuss out and only play it during the day, we'll see.

I didn't mean to let that slip,

2010-09-28T16:22:00.000-05:00

I know I said I was going to play F.E.A.R last night. I got sucked into play Mabinogi for the whole night. Some random person came up to me wanting to do a PvP fight, It lasted a little bit, but I lost. Then they asked if I wanted to do a quest with them. I agreed, long story short I was too low of level to go do the quest.

And I'm going to be playing Mabinogi again, since its one of the ways for me to spend time with my friend, even though it's online.

Side note, I'm still slightly sick. I have a slightly stuffy nose along with my throat feeling sore and I sound funny. Shit is not cash.

Sometimes I wish I had another.

2010-09-27T15:12:00.000-05:00

Vidya
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep

So I finally beat Xehanort in Terra's story. I was stupid and didn't realize that I could Meld Commands to get skills/abilities. I also gave myself a lot of Curagas instead of the one I had. The battle went by rather quickly. Most people said it would take 45 minutes or so, I think the battle took all of 10 minutes, maybe 15. But then again, I was playing on normal mode...

After beating Terra's story, I started Aqua's. Her cartwheels erk me. At least compared to being use to Terra's sliding. Plus I miss being able to do a lot of stuff, I hope that I can get though her story quickly and go do Ven's.

F.E.A.R
So I just got F.E.A.R last night. I want to play it, but part of me that is a wuss doesn't want to. I tend to be a scary cat when it comes to playing horror games. I want to overcome this fear though. I really dislike myself being a wuss. I'll possibly start it tonight, maybe even livestream it too. Thats if my computer will let me.

Resident Evil
On the note of horror games, I started to play Resident Evil: Dead Aim last week. I should continue to play that as well... I should play that or I should actually play Resident Evil 2. Eric was making me play all the RE games, because I wanted to play Resident Evil 4 again. But I might as well play the other ones first, just so I can get them under my belt. I beat RE 1 last year, I just didn't get around to playing the rest...

Me
So, my throat has been slightly irritating me for the past day-day and a half. I woke up today, and it feels worse. I'm talking out loud once in a while, and I think I might be getting sick. Quite possibly the same sickness everyone I know has gotten. But I'm one of the last to get it.

Art
Not much going on here as of now. I really should be drawing more. But I want to be playing games instead. Maybe when I get back into the school scene I'll be back on the Art scene, we'll see. I don't have much on my Deviant Art right now, and what I have isn't very good. At least in my opinion it isn't good. I want to be able to fill it out with amazing works.... But alas, I must practice before I get anywhere close to amazing.

Thinking towards the future.

2010-09-26T15:40:00.000-05:00

I'm not sure yet, but I'm thinking about doing Visual/Fine Arts as a major at MCTC. I like art and all, but I'm worried that it might be too hard for me. I could always do generals to start out with, I guess. I'm also unsure about getting a certificate in Central Services. It's only 10 credits, which isn't that hard. And it's also in the medical field, so getting a job wouldn't be that hard either. I'd think about graphic design or something with video games, but that would mean more math. I don't feel entirely up to doing more math classes.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind getting a job as a video game tester, but then I need to get the systems. And of course I need to pay at first, and I'm basically broke, so I can't do that. At least not just yet.

In the distress of gaming with friends.

2010-09-26T03:05:00.000-05:00

So after an hour of attempting to play System Shock 2 with Eric and Hank, it failed. For some reason we can't connect to each other, even more old is that Eric and I can't connect. And we're in the same room. We might attempt to mess around with SS2 at another time.

Hank got me to play Mabinogi. It's okay so far, it feels like I'm playing an anime version of Diablo 2, or at least a more happy version of it. I would probably enjoy it more if it wasn't for all the annoying beginners quests that I have to do. Oh well, I guess it could be worse. At least I'm not playing WoW.

2010-09-25T20:16:00.001-05:00

I'm being silly and making a test post with my cellphone.

Some times I hate being stuck in places.

2010-09-25T20:07:00.002-05:00

I'm still trying to get the hang of this, I'm getting there though.

The game I'm currently playing on my PSP right now is Kingdom Heart: Birth By Sleep. I've been playing for the past week or so, only for about 13-14 hours though. I'm slightly stuck at the end of Terra's story, the only story I've played so far. I need to grind like crazy, I'm level 43 right now, and it's pissing me off. I've fought Xehanort a few times, and getting to the third stage of the battles I end up dying. I might have to be level 50 to beat him, but I'm not sure. I've been grinding in Neverland because it seems like the only place with Unversed with the highest exp.

Eric's parents are having a party this evening, That means Eric, Fluffy, and myself are stuck in our area. Luckily, there is a bathroom here. After Eric is done with his shower, and if I take one or not that has been undecided, We're going to attempt to play System Shock 2 or possibly something else. We might as well do what we can while we're in here. The reason why we want to play together is because we want to possibly record and have others watch us play while we play and possibly even after.

Stupid first posts. Always the most awkward.

2010-09-25T16:16:00.000-05:00

Oh hi.

My name is Lauren, but feel free to call me whatever. I am currently 19 years old, being born on March 8th, of the year 1991. I live with my boyfriend Eric, who also has a blogger.

I'm going to write more in a little bit. I keep getting distracted because of people messaging me and trying to figure out this blogger thing. I came from livejournal and xanga, this shouldn't be this hard.

Also, I'm probably going to do close to the same as what Eric is doing. Which is close to what tumblrisforlulz does.
