| Grand Theft Cop Stations |
[May. 31st, 2009|06:36 am] |
Usually the cop stations in Grand Theft Auto are boing and dull and small.
But apparently not the Las Venturas one.
It was deep and complicated and I got lost. And I found the prison cells.
Mixed gender prison cells!
And completely unlike pretty much any game ever, I was about to shoot through the bars. Awesome.
P.S. Tried to pull off the Monster truck/flying car glitch. Got a big station wagon buried grille down, up to the windshield, in the pavement. Also awesome. |

| Why you should be reading Buffy comic books. |
[May. 31st, 2009|01:19 am] |
Remember, the current Buffy comics are canon.
Poor Giles. In the in-canon Buffy comics, he's trying to teach Faith how to be a lady she she can get in the inner circle of crazy Slayer rich girl villain and kill her. Think 'What if Paris Hilton killed people and could punch through walls'?
Anywho, it was just mindlessly -perfect- how poor Giles completely failed to teach Faith pretty much anything whatsoever.
Oh yeah, and apparently Buffy is bisexual now and everyone knows. Willow claims she's not into Buffy, which we all know is a total lie.
In conclusion, if only all of the episodes were this awesome.
P.S. Xander DID spend many months under Dracula's control. I think Dracula has a man crush on Xander. |

| Grand Theft Auto: Woozie The Blind Triad Member |
[May. 31st, 2009|01:08 am] |
Back in San Fierro. Woozie, the blind Triad member, has more problems for me to solve. I can't swim very well so I go diving for a while, collecting oysters (god knows why) until my skills improve.
Once I am, Woozie tells me of a series of tunnels and rocks to swim about, to get close to a well-guarded ship he wants bugged. Information is the true currency of the world. But then again, so is heat-seeking rockets.
I say 'To bugger and tosh' with swimming past the guard ships and I blow them to kingdom come with a rocket for each. KA BOOM! MWA HA HA HA!
After that, sneaking on board and bugging the ship was child's play. Especially since I had the silence pistol Cesar gave me to kill the pimp.
Next time was not going to be so easy.
When next I went to see Woozie, his men was going to shoot up the ship (a different ship?) full of enemies and it was cool, I didn't have to come. But I talked my way onto the copter that was going to make a 'fly-by' of the ship. I took gunner position (what, the pilot was going to fly and shoot? Made no sense).
On the way to the ship, I tested out the ultra-powerful door gun. ON THE CARS PASSING BY BELOW. FRAGGA BOOM!
Mwa ha ha ha.
Out at the ship I plinked off a lot of the bad guys and OH SHIT THEY HAVE AN RPG TOO.
We took a solid hit in the rotors and slammed into the water. The pilot was dead (as pilots usually are) and I had lost all my weapons. All. Rocket launcher. Machine gun. Grenades I had carried with from Los Santos. Even the flowers for my girl. And Cesar's silenced pistol. All at the bottom of the ocean.
But wait. I had my knife. I climbed up on the ship, stabberated the first guy and used his gun to shoot my way through. I took their operation -apart- and even freed some hostages they had. And the head of the whole mess was a sword-weilding mofo called 'Snake'. I got to the bridge. He tossed me a sword. I couldn't use my other weapons. And I sliced Snake to ribbons in a second. Stupid muscle.
I escaped with the prisoners, they had summoned Triad help.
Next: I get a really weird phone call. Weirder then my normal phone calls. Someone who has blackmail material on me wants a meet out in the desert. This can't be anything but bad. |

Before Graph Jam and before XKCD, there was another website that did graph and maths humor. Most noticeable, 'Find X', 'Here it is'. Anyone remember the website? |

| Grand Purchase Auto |
[May. 30th, 2009|11:45 pm] |
I used my ill-gotten GTA: SA monies to legitamately purchase a monster truck and a hovercraft.
A monster truck and a hovercraft. Damn.
C.J. has come a long way from being the half-ignored sidekick to the Grove Street crew. |

| Grand Theft Go-Kart |
[May. 30th, 2009|05:09 am] |
One of the billion extras Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has is weird illegal street races in various forms. Part of this takes the form of win-cash races that you are teleported to instantly from the 'race' section being Wang's Auto.
This teleportation is probably to negate the bit from GTA: Vice City where you can sneak up on the race and kill the other racers before it begins.
BUT...I'm not sure if the programmers anticipated the idiocy I did. I got a huge wanted rating by machine-gunning the local traffic, then teleported myself to the go-kart races.
The cops teleported too! So it was just about two miles of cops going bugnuts, running over the other racers and shooting my kart to pieces. I had to quit when my kart exploded.
P.S. A prostitute told me my tattoo was ugly. What the hell?
P.P.S. I'm having trouble with the new girlfriend, because she is a fat fetishist. I'm not gaining seventy pounds just so she can be all tee-hee. What's the point? It's not like I need her free garage skills, I already have Wang's Auto. Wang. |

So I'm holding down the fort by my lonesome. End of the day, decide to give the mom-unit a call, 'cuz she hasn't checked up on me and that's not like her.
Mild chaos ensues.
Turns out she had been calling. Somehow, for some god-awful reason I still cannot quit figure out (though I am blaming the cat) the one wire, the most IMPORTANT wire in all the mess we call our phone system, got tugged out -just-enough that the phones not worky.
Of course, my brain is having ten kinds of shitfits over this (my brain does what it wants) despite the clear and mom-stated logic that if she was -really- worried she would have called one of our legions of goobers who live nearby to come check up on us. And there are many. Including a few who could quite literally smash down the door.
So why is my brain having guilt-fits? And how the FUCK did that wire get loose? It makes no sense. |

| Adventures In Sequential Picture Form |

This should be the link to strip one of a really bizarre action-adventure-fantasy-modern day story. It starts off slow but everything swiftly improves. Especially the dialogue. It's my favorite bit. Very few authors 'get' how people really speak and react to, well, anything.
P.S. Obligatory Grand Theft Auto nonsense; Using a magnetic crane to swing around an F.B.I. vehicle was more fun then it sounds. No, the agents were not inside. Swing, bash. Swing, bash. |

| When it's 'Supernatural', the realism should be extra real. |
[May. 29th, 2009|06:53 am] |
Was excited to find a rerun of Supernatural on tv. Turned it off in digust a little way in. A very confusing bad guy bounces Sam's head off a bathroom sink twice. I can understand Sam getting through it easy, because he is very fit and healthy but it showed Sam just shaking it off like he had been slapped by an angry, arthritic grandmother.
And usually the show is not reluctant to show the characters badly hurt.
In short, main character gets bounced around like a tennis ball, shakes it off like nothing. Very insulting writing. |

| Come for the gambling. Stay for the shovel beatings. |
[May. 28th, 2009|11:32 pm] |
So the last of the three cities on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is an expy (is that the right word?) of Las Vegas.
Gambling galore (I played a few times, got lucky). And with high speed freeways literally just a stone's throw from the casinos. Anywho, careful about crossing them. The drivers are good about not running you over.
Mostly. They stop...and then the people behind them smash into them. And the people coming up smash into THEM. And before you know it, everyone's out of their cars and beating each other to death with shovels.
Las Venturas be full of crazies, man.
I made a lot of money robbing the corpses. Bought myself a spiffy sunhat, a bowling shirt and camo pants. I looked DAMN fine.
I wore all this while defeating the DRIVING school. That was some tough shit. I had to do some tight turns, some jumps, some weird nonsense...much of which I got through by the skin of my teeth.
Then the last one for driving school was get across town and come back in two minutes. Without damaging the car too much. I made it at one minute and fifty nine seconds. Pure damned luck. |

| Zombies And Superheroes: The Most Important Thing Ever |
[May. 27th, 2009|08:05 am] |
Watch out, zombie-loving readers of mine. I saw information on the internets (which is always reliable) that says ''Marvel Zombies: Dead Days'', a graphic novel, collects the stories of the early hourse of the zombie invasion from the point of view of, well, mainly the Avengers.
This is not true. 'Dead Days' reprints the initial Ultimate Fantastic Four storyline (which is awesome) and a secondary mini-storyline which I oddly enough have forgotten. Not anything to do with the potential awesome of the Avengers and their allies being beseiged on all sides by flesh-eating horrors.
P.S. And the art for Marvel Zombies 3 just stinks on ice. It was as if it was -drawn- by a zombie. |

| What would be cooler? |
[May. 27th, 2009|01:38 am] |
What would be cooler? A device that can fire fifty crossbow bolts at once or...
A gun that fires once an hour and whatever vehicle it hits just shoots straight up and never stops.
P.S. Yes, I know about Detritus from Discworld and the cheat from San Andreas. |

[May. 27th, 2009|01:21 am] |
So I go to a big box bookstore for the first time in forever, go to the cashier to get info and of course, I get stuck behind the biggest idiot in the world. She doesn't have her discount card, her phone number is not in the system, she has to have every single thing about the card explained, then she fills it out at the counter...basically doing every single thing possible to take as LONG as possible.
In short, she did a lot more stupid shit. I then had to strangle her with my bare hands. I hid her body in the Leather Journals aisle.
And why the heck would World War Z NOT be in the Sci-Fi Fantasy section? WTF. I saw a LOT of evidence (we then went to Borders) that the big box stores have no idea wtf they are doing.
Why would Jasper Fforde's science fiction romps be in Literature?
P.S. Said filed books were fifteen bucks a pop. Worth it, considering it is Fforde, but I found one of them in the DOLLAR section. I don't feel so bad about some of my flea market stuff being identical but with different prices. When BORDERS cannot keep track of their stock, what hope have I? |

So I spent a hell of a lot of time on the 'Take off, circle and land' part of pilot school. And I failed, though I did it all. It snookered me. I had to make a second pass on the landing and I lost points. WTF game. WTF. No fair. |
