The Geek's Nest

I try to stay off of this place to stop myself from ranting too much... I suppose I do well, no?

 

School is beginning to actually become tough, which disturbs me to the core. It doesn't help that everything is done in groups, thus, if my group members slack, I get no credit... But I have to do everything at once, and worry myself sick over whether my father is okay. (Say a prayer for him, he's been in the hospital for quite a while now.)

 

I can't believe how blind I am to things I can clearly see.

Yeah, it's been over a month, I know. I haven't had anything really important to post about. Went to an antique shop yesterday. Bought a couple Atari games and a military jacket. :] Moon Patrol FTW. 4 days left until my winter break starts, yay. Turns out that there's a big animecon coming up. I might go. I don't know. If I do, my group of friends and I are going to cosplay. I'm probably going to do Kenshin. I dunno yet. The Wii came out. :D I need one, bad. *wink nudge* I officially started online gaming. Counter-Strike Source to be particular. I do... Decent. Actually. :O Dad says that after two weeks of keeping my room(s) clean, he's gonna open the router and get me WoW. The milestone is Saturday, and I get my sweet, sweet box of lusciously addictive gaming that is MMORPG. Anyhow. Game design. I've advanced. Sometime I'll post my model. It's basically a sniper rifle. It pwnz. >:3 Anyway... I'm really excited for vacation and getting teh WoW. I hear it's absolutely amazing. Uh... Manga! Yeah! I got to book 5 of Naruto. Yay! Okay, I got nothing left. Bai.

So, I actually got around to updating this place. I haven't really gotten time to do much with it lately. Too much crap's been going on. I've had 5+ hours of homework 4/5 days of the week, but when I do get spare time I play Counter-Strike Source. I've gotten pretty good, actually. But I've got a lot of other news to share. I started reading manga. My favorite series are Naruto, Rurouni Kenshin, and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

The books should be a lot longer, though. They're only maybe a 3 hour read if you really go in-depth. -_- But, they rock, despite being 10 dollars a piece. Anyway, I started some real programming. We got Visual Studio 2005 but we're still trying to figure out what to use to teach me. We were going to use the AppDev DVD series (Which rocks, by the way) but it's $3000 for the whole set. But it's 16 DVD's worth, and I learn the entire VB language. But this'll teach me VB, and C#, with C# I can make Xbox games and Half-Life 2 mods. Anyway, let's see... What else. Ah, video games! Let's see... What's there to talk about... New games! Yeah! I tried out Rainbow Six Vegas and it is going to be one of my top wanted games. The graphics actually do look real. Not realistic. Real. I actually may be passing up Gears of War. There's a LOT of gore in it. I'm not sure. I'm definetely not Pre-Ordering it, though. I'm interested in Rainbow Six Vegas and Half-Life 2. If they just sold Portal and Episode Two separately, I'd just get them. :P But anyway, my Atari works fine. And that's pretty much it for this update.

It sucks. Obviously.
