hmm...what to say

A lot has been going on lately. I recently released a private conversation, Papa scolded me (which started with my stupidity), we finally unwrapped the awning for our patio, McDonalds' Double Cheeseburgers & McChickens are still awesome (as well as cheap), X-Men: The Last Stand had the most cheesy dialogue yet, finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, finished watching Star Wars Episodes 1-3 again, and so on and so on.

My mom is currently searching a job for me since for some reason I can't do it myself. I went to this interview today which Daniel had to skip for but he didn't have to. It was so horrible. The guy did not even seem interested in hiring me. He had these long pauses in between his questions and it is during these pauses where I just wanted to leave. The job calls for networking using preferably Cisco networking products. No programming, no database designing, its goddamn networking which I don't have experience in. I just answered the guy's questions blindly because I really didn't know anything except for setting a network at home. Why is it so difficult to find a decent job? Dammit, I don't want to be a bum again. It makes me want to go back to Springbrook, but I hated that job so much. I tried to make it enjoyable, but the management of that store was horrible.

here we go

I present to you: Divorce in broken English

Please keep in mind that this conversation was supposed to be private, but due to massive hilarity on what was said, I needed to make it funny. No offense to those speaking.

:(

Well, it seems like I'm not a Total Access subscriber on Gamespot or an Insider on IGN. Oh well. It was $50 total for both sites for one year. I guess I don't need all those luxuries that they provided. Who needs HD quality videos, hi-speed servers, or special stuff? Who needs hi-res videos or just crappy articles? I don't.

I'm still playing hours and hours on Tales of Legendia. The story is getting better and better every second. Oh yeah, I bought a wireless adapter for my PS2. Hopefully I can get it working so that I can play online from my basement. It's such a hassle to bring up everything just to play online.

happy birthday

The bloodline's fantastic dentist is celebrating her birthday. Happy Birthday Chrissie!! Can you give me some braces too? :)

back home

Nothing new here. Just came back home a week ago and just been bumming around. On Tuesday, I had to mow two lawns so I was exhausted both later that day and Wednesday. I'm trying to get a job. I'm going to start calling those video game stores to see if they are hiring. I tried looking for the Chase job online, but there is no such thing as data entry. I really wanted to get a Geek Squad job since that is what I enjoy doing, but it doesn't seem like they are hiring. Eh, I'll find something so that I can get out of this house.

When I was mowing my neighbor's lawn, I burned myself on the radiator and now there is a bubble with puss on my arm. I want to pop it, but I might get it infected, so I'll wait until it dries out. On other medical news, I just scheduled an appointment with my physician. He is going to look at my bald spot to see if it is related to something. Because I know I'm balding, but having a bald spot in a unusual spot is weird.

I'm planning to make a video of Tita Tessie's conversation with Michael. I know it is private, but goddamn, it is hilarious stuff. Not to be mean, but broken English is hilarious. I don't know why they just didn't speak Tagalog. I'll be posting it later next week on YouTube.

e3 conferences

After all the hype, I was really disappointed with Sony's conference. Rather than show loads of gameplay from several titles, it was mostly just hi-def PS2 games. The only PS3 game that was played at the conference was Heavenly Sword. Yes, it was awesome, but it is only one game. They didn't have gameplay footage of MGS4 or the must hyped Killzone for the PS3. They did show FFXIII and MGS4 which were freaking impressive. I was shocked to see the real time footage of FFXIII. It is literally amazing. As for the controller, I don't see myself using that tilt function. It is a good thing it is mandatory to gameplay. I'm still getting a PS3. The question is, "When?"

I really enjoyed the Nintendo conference. They showed what Wii is capable of. Sure 90% of the games looked like Gamecube titles, but it looked really fun to use that controller. I still see this as a gimmick. Controlling a character in a FPS seems really painful and movement in all the games seemed a bit slow whether it was that Zelda game or tennis. The people who demoed the games had trouble moving around and controlling the characters felt stiff. Sure you can aim freely, but the movement is so robotic.

As for Microsoft's conference, I found it to be boring. They just showed sequels and their idea of Live anywhere. I'm not interested in Live anywhere since I don't have a good enough PC to play games on or the cell phone to do what they ask. Nothing interesting. Even the Halo 3 teaser was okay, nothing spectacular.

What Sony and Microsoft did wrong was that they didn't live up to their promises. Microsoft is still talking about their online plans and Sony is still showing a bunch of crap. In my opinion, Sony should have shown more gameplay footage and Microsoft should have shown more original content because sequels are not cutting it.

can't freaking wait

6 hours and 8 minutes until the festivities begin. The Sony conference. It's going to be a blast for sure.

Hopefully I get to relax after my exam at 1pm.

Family Guy and American Dad were great. Of course, there are some things I didn't like. I wish they developed upon Stewie's addiction to the TV. That was great that the hole was through Meg's butt. I laughed my ass off when the Poltergeist music played when Peter dug up the skull. What was more funny was when they mimicked that scene where they are whispering. American Dad was funny as well. The retarded kid was a retard because of the medicine he was taking. hahahahahahaha.

links because I'm bored

This made me laugh for a while:

"A Priest,a Rabbi,and a Minister walk into a bar. Jack Bauer is going to find out why."

Another video on how white people don't have rhythm or style.

no mi3 for me this weekend

As much as I wanted to watch Mission Impossible 3 this weekend, I ran out of money. I spent it on Smirnoff Twisters and Dominos pizza yesterday. Oh well. Hopefully I'll get money from books I'm selling back to the store.

I'm going to watch next week not just for the movie......its for this beautiful actress.......oh yeah. And no, its not the one who looks like a rhino.

**I just got a call from the Tribune internship and I didn't get it (no surprise there). Oh well. There are other chances out there.

south park

Is it just me or has South Park just surpassed every cartoon known in existence when it comes to pop culture?

Tonight's episode was just so fun and downright funny. I couldn't stop laughing when I heard the Omen music or when Cartman was changing into those forms.

winavi & trailers

I upgraded my winavi to 7.5 and its doing a great job so far. I've downsampled two HD wmv movies and that new 1080p HD trailer of Superman Returns. The quality is great as I compress it to xvid. Btw, Superman Returns HD sucks balls. It has color banding and the brightness levels are out of balance. Don't they learn?

That new Alone in the Dark trailer just rocks. The music during the last 30 seconds are just amazing. I ripped the track with Virtualdub and edited with Audacity. Bam! I have the awesome track.

As for Superman Returns, this movie will suck. The problem with this movie is that they saw Batman Begins and said, "We'll do the movie just like that". All they did was include emotional scenes mixed with re-hashes of the original movies (which Batman Begins did not have). Saving an airplane? Old news folks. The movie will suck major ass my friends. If they made a movie with Superman battling Doomsday......fuck yeah, but no, they had to remake original movie. Bullshit. At least Batman Begins ran with the origins of Batman without the gayness of Joel Schumacher. The Batman series before Batman Begins never developed on the origins on Batman. They just had a scene with his parents being shot. So that is why Batman Beings was developed. But why Superman? His origin story has already been done on the screen. DO SOMETHING ELSE HOLLYWOOD!!!
