No school? no motivation!

2011-03-31T22:43:00.000-07:00

So it turns out, that as soon as i don't have a mission/goal, i loose all motivation to do anything lol.
Usually school gives me something to work towards as a goal, and the best part about having a goal? blowing off that goal for fun!!
The down side to this is that fun without blowing off a goal, is less fun :(
So sadly, the fun of playing video games and watching YouTube videos has lost its ZING. The feeling passes after a few days though, and fun becomes fun again. However until that time comes, it's sleeping in and lounging around the house all day for me XD

Chilling with friends, and looking at upcoming video games!
So let's get started with them video games!

Anyone heard of Hawken? It's only got a small team behind it, and it's in the working, but it looks AMAZING!!! I used to play the old Mechwarrior games when i was younger and i always loved them, but i need something new, and hot DAMN this games is looking good. I've a good feeling about this game, it's not a triple-A title, so it's not bound by the same boring rules that are set on them.

BEHOLD GAMEPLAY TRAILER!

WASN'T THAT AWESOME!!!??!! HELL YA IT WAS!
The atmosphere of this game looks sooo good, got the whole neo-tokyo style going on! so boss! I also love the feel of the bass with the explosions and missiles. The graphics look amazing as well, the perfect combination of look and feel for a mech FPS.

Go to that link to stay up to date on this awesome game!

Well that's about all I've been really up to as of late, rocking out to music, chilling.
Went on an adventure today with some friends at BestBuy, rode around in the shopping carts. perhaps i'll put up some pics of the madness next time!
Peace off!

The wonder of indoors

So it's monday night, haven't had any school at all since friday. So this is day...3
And i have yet to leave the house at all. It's been sunny and beautiful, and wonderful, BUT, i just started deadspace 2 on saturday, soooooooo yeah XD

Stomping Necromorphs and having a generally awesome time, and like any jumpy person, playing it will ALL the lights on nearby. Then eventually crawling into bed (since I play mostly at night until the wee hours of the morning) and try to think about NOT scary deadspace2 creatures. Fun stuff, fun times.

So that's my last few days, just gaming, drinking tea, and thinking about upcoming games!
I am very short on the monies, so i have had to really crunch down onto what games i will pre-order. I have enough for about 2 games, the rest of my money shal go towards my junk food addiction (mountain dew FTW)

I have decided to get Protal 2 (no way right!!) and Brink.
Portal 2 is kinda a no brainier to be a definite buy, the first was epic, and the second is looking to be even more epic! More portal fun and goodness, and co-op! oooooh co-op. Ya I have a feeling that that will be all i hear about from my fellow nerd friends for a while. Just everyone wanting to do some co-op. So if i don't want to be the lonely kid in the corner for the next few months, i should get my ass a pre-order and wait for the storm.

Then there's Brink. I personally LOVE Brink. I love the customization, the character style, the parkour...etc
So i just love it, i can't goddamn wait to get my hands on it. HOWEVER, none of my friends are really digging it...sooo that kinda sucks ass. I'm sure everyone's been there, in a place where you love an online game, and want your friends to play it as well so you can all have wonderful hilarious adventures online together. But your friends have no interest in the game DX RAAAGE because yes you will probably still enjoy the game and have wonderful fun times, but you still feel lonely. So i'm trying to get them more into it, but it's not going so well. I will keep trying, and i will DEFS still buy the game, and show them how awesome it is so maybe they will grab it too. Anyway.

Portal 2 is out in April so that's pretty soon, and brink is out in May, so that's got some time. Hopefully by then ill have more money so i won't feel so bad about having spent my last bit of money on video games (not that it would stop me lol).

I'm still unsure on what i should focus with this silly little blog. Mostly it's just my days, being boring and random. I'm trying to add a bit more depth to my nonsense, add some pics, perhaps some links to vids later on. Haha, expanding on nonsense = greater nonsense!
We shal see internet, we shall see.

A tale of exams and freedom

2011-03-26T15:46:00.000-07:00

It's been a rough few days i must say. Wrote my last 2 finals last week on Thursday and Friday. Shit was haaaaard, but i think i did ok; i'll find out soon.
On the more interesting side of things, on Thursday night i had went to a sick gamer gathering of epicness. My and 3 of my good friends all gathered and set up for some a Minecraft adventure. We set up a brand new minecraft server world and set off on our adventure.
Our goal: GO WEST!
We aimed to see how far we could get going west. We also played by some other customs rules: no building chests (meaning we could only keep what we could carry) and only travel during the day, so at sunset we would build a house and mine through its floor in search of caverns and search for precious supplies.
We played for a good many hours in that manner, until we had an abundance of iron and coal and other such necessities. So we came up with a second goal. Keep traveling during the day, but at night, search for diamond specifically so we could make/mine some obsidian. Then, we would make a portal and keep traveling west once in the Nether. This new goal kept us busy for another good many hours, until we had gathered all we needed and were ready to build the portal. It was at this point however that i remembered something a tad inconvenient, Portals to the Nether don't work yet in server worlds for Minecraft, only single player. I informed my friends of this, and we all started swearing and having a jolly old rage quit.
Then they all played L4D 2 while i studied for my next day final.

After writing my final i had plans to go see SuckerPunch with another friend, and i must say, that movie was confusing as shit. It was super pretty and super entertaining, but the whole thing made little sense (at least to me and my friend lol) still a fun watch that i do recommend you go see. After the movie we had tix to go see a show at a local club. The music was good, the show was good, and the crowd surfers were out of CONTROL. Anyone who has been to a show knows that crowd surfers happen, weather they are supposed to or not. They were in fact allowed at this show, however, i don't know if the number of them that occurred were normal. I would say there was one every 5 minutes, maybe more. Security was really amazing though, standing at the front behind a grate so they could grab people as they were coming and help them down up front so they could re-merge with the crowd. Their were quite a few close calls though with the crowd surfers during this show, people getting flipped around, kicking people in the face (i got kicked but nothing serious), and the most common occurrence, us people at the front getting generally crushed by the surfers as they made their way up. See, once they get to the front, there are less people to keep them up, so we needed to really give'r to pass them onto security. I wondered how many people get seriously hurt from having crowd surfers landing on them at the front.

Anyway.

That's been my past few days, lots of fun, lot's of energy. So now i shall continue on with my relaxing Saturday of healing and recovery~

I HATE headaches...

2011-03-23T15:29:00.000-07:00

A little something about me is that i have been cursed with something awful, migraine headaches. It's a living hell when it's at its worst, like now. I've had a heavy headache for the past 3 days, i normally try to just deal with it and ignore it, but it's just too strong. So i go look for my best friend, Advil!
The other side effect of my headaches is it makes me useless when it comes to studying, onto youtube!
My distraction of choice these past few days is Brink, a is amazing upcoming video game Brink. I've watched far too much footage, interviews and trailers about this game, but i can't get enough! Finally an FPS that gives you true character AND gun customization and control. I'll be pre-ordering this beauty very soon.
However since this game isn't out until May 17, i've had to settle for playing copious amounts of minecraft XD
ah yes, another minecraft addict. Can't help it, it's just so fun to lose yourself in a massive random world and build!
So that's been my day so far, playing minecraft, watching Brink footage, and NOT studying for tomorrows exam haha~

I hereby declare this my outlet for boredom relief.

I'm in college and it's exam week. My brain is exploding with knowledge that i will probably never use again! So to keep my sanity, i have decided to take this chance to start a blog. I have wanted to for quite some time, but had no motivation. I see now that there is no motivation more powerful than procrastination.

I live a fairly average life (exciting i know) i get up have some coffee (maybe food if i'm really lucky) and then head off to school. Then i return home and sit my ass down at my comp until the early hours of the next day.
I've always loved computers, thus i choose a computer program at college.
Before you start thinking i'm just another nerd who sits at home and never leaves, i will add that i have plenty of good friends whom i chill with as often as i can. Sadly i can't chill as often as i would like due to school. I spend the majority of my time listening to music and exploring the colorful abyss that is the internet.

I will now explain the title for this blog. On my desk i have a cute little espresso sized cup, which i fill with assorted candies that i munch on. At the time of making this blog, that seemed the most interesting title i could come up with, perhaps i will incorporate its significance more later on, but for now, it will just be an odd title.

This will be my outlet of random thoughts and stories that unfold in my life.
I hope you enjoy your stay~
