I think it’s kinda creepy when people say they are *IN* love with Jesus.
It’s cool if you love him…but I don’t think he’s looking for a relationship.
My roommate is guilty of this. It’s a level of blasphemy that even turns the stomach of an atheist.
Then again, she’s not exactly intelligent enough to understand the idea of religion or philosophy. She doesn’t know anything about Jesus, just that he looks so good in all his pictures.
Tales of Grinding-ia
I couldn’t think of a better, more clever way to put this. Anyway, Tales of Vesperia is quickly turning into a massive grinding game.
Despite the game still being enjoyable, it’s probably going to take me a long time to play through it since I absolutely loathe grinding. I think that any game that makes you grind is a badly designed game, no excuses. That’s also one of the many reasons I can’t stand MMORPGs, they are grinding games. No matter how they disguise their kill [x] for 6 of z and bring them to me quests, they’re still making you fight the same monsters over and over.
Vesperia would’ve been a better game if it at least try to do that. The main problem is that the bosses are always extremely overpowered when compared to the other monsters in the area. Not in the usual boss fight kind of way, but in the you’re supposed to be 6 levels higher than you need to be in the rest of the area way.
Fights against normal enemies usually take less than 20 seconds without taking any damage, but the boss will wipe out your entire team.
I can see why they did this as well, since they’re selling level packs as DLC on the Live Marketplace. That’s right, they’re allowing you to buy enough experience to quickly level up for actual money in an offline RPG. If I hadn’t bought the game yet, I would’ve boycotted it, but I already own it and it’s honestly not a bad game, but the grinding, oh god, the damn grinding.
I makes me wish I had a useless friend to grind a few levels while I do useful stuff with my time, like complaining about grinding on Tumblr.
Two Hunts
While being a single unemployed college guy is a dream come true, it’s time to face the facts that blogging gets you no where and writing comics doesn’t exactly pay the bills. So tomorrow I go out on a job hunt again. I need to do laundry and I can’t exactly call myself independent if my parents are footing my bill to live here. So off I go in search of anything that will provide me with income (short of illegal activities mind you).
So that covers the first hunt, now onto the second. See I have been an emotionally damaged individual for some time now (writers aren’t allowed to be happy, it’s a pre-requisite) and have recently, how to put it…., “gotten over it”. So I had been out and about mingling and being constantly outshone by my far more attractive roommates (damn their good looks!). However (drum roll please), I have a new crush! Which makes me sound like a weird creepy person for even writing about it but hey this is a place where I like to throw my thoughts around without much care so meh.
A problem I have with girls (and relationships in general) is that I really have no clue how to proceed with things. I usually only get to the crush stage then some miracle happens and I’m dating a person. I honestly just get stuck most of the time because of my lack of knowledge in the area. I’m not a very creative person for dates either, I usually stick with the whole ‘dinner and a movie’ formula and hope it’s enough.
So I have a crush, I like her, yadda yadda. I want to proceed, but don’t know how. There needs to be some universal class where guys can go to learn this stuff. It would make things so much simpler, although then I guess I wouldn’t have anything to write about on here.
I’ll pass you the secret tools of the trade known by all men throughout the entire universe.
There are no classes to teach us how to proceed with whatever it is we’re supposed to do in order to get things moving easily simply because we don’t know. If we knew, we’d have secret meetings preparing each other before going up to the girl of our dreams and asking them out.
What we can do however, is having a meeting together when it goes wrong.
Just do what you feel is right, as cliché as it sounds, it’s the only right thing to do.
Also, despite what comedy shows and relationship experts might say, women don’t know what to do either. The miracle is just that you’re spending time together and one of the many sparks you might have missed before start the real fire.
Somehow I’ve been stuck listening to this song and Darkside for more than a month…
If you’re religious, best skip this.
Vesperia's tales...
I’ve been playing Tales of Vesperia for some time now. It’s actually quite a good JRPG. I’m happy that it is, seeing I needed a good RPG fix and so far this is the only game that really provided me with it, seeing that it has a good story and fun gameplay.
In many ways it’s just like Tales of Symphonia, which to me is great.
My only problem with the game is the level scaling. It’s just done terribly. Normally with an RPG where you see your enemies on the map and initiate the fights by touching them, you’ll have enough experience by simply fighting each encounter once.
Strangely enough, I’m below the required level despite having fought every encounter once, some of them twice. I never ran away during a fight, I’ve used a few exp boosting pieces of equipment, I’ve gone after every chest, item, sidequest, whatever I could find….
Yet somehow I never seem to have enough gald (that’s what they call it there, gald) to keep my weapons up to date - which is just annoying because it has a Final Fantasy 9/Tactics type of skill system.
Also, during every boss encounter I notice I’m not high a level enough to fight the boss and die very quickly. At the same time, I can kill every other encounter from the same area within 10 seconds.
There’s a severe balance and level scaling problem in the game.
I still love every second playing though. It’s funny how often games with huge glaring flaws you can point out can still overshadow the ones that don’t have them. Kinda like how Morrowind is still amongst the best games I’ve played despite constantly crashing, glitching, loading and clipping problems.

Kanye pics usually don’t get to me, but this was just amazingly well played.

I’m such an ass, you guys make me cry. (Not in a ‘you upset me’ way, in a ‘I’m really sorry’ way).
I just hope you guys can forgive me and re-add me on twitter when I make a new one later. =[
Also for those wondering why I was upset, It’s difficult to explain, but someone upset me so much I ended up making rash decisions. Next time I’ll deal with it properly.
Edit: And for some insane reason, I really want an internet hug. >_<
*hug*
Now don’t do that ever again.
I Just Want To Go Home
I don’t wanna be here anymore. I just want to go home…
Although hopefully knowing my mood patterns I’ll be fine in 5 hours, so I’ll probably be back then.
But I need to go home for a while.
I’m not the kind to reblog anything on here… but Sky, what’s wrong?
I just noticed all your stuff everywhere is gone, with the exception of here and YouTube…. Did anything happen?
I just hope you’re okay…
Beatles Rock Band guitar controller...
It’s a lot better than the old RB and GH controllers, feels great to use and all…..
But seriously, the side is sharp and my arm still hurts from using it yesterday.
