Just a hardcore game playa

wow. look at that. i haven't blogged in a few days. its the new year and already i'm slacking. :) if you are reading this right now and hoping for something interesting to read, well, all i can say is tough titties said the kitty when the milk ran dry. that's all i can say because i can't think of anything else to write. and for some reason that's in my head. don't ask why. just go with the flow.

thursday i spent the day reading 'digital detectives' mystery book. its for pre-teen-ers. but i bought it anyway. because it looked fun. and i wanted to be cool like a pre-teen-er. so, okay, what you do is you read part of the book, then it directs you to their website where you log in, type in a code word, and you can play detective. digitally. with a fancy shockwave program thingy. i got to click on chairs and dust for fingerprints. i got to search through cupboards and take photographs of key evidence. when i was done, the site gave me a page number to jump to to continue reading the book. sounds like fun, eh? well, it was. up until that point. i mean, i was nancy friggin drew! i was rocking magnifying glass hard core! woo!

then the mystery game turned to suck. i read some more in the book and then it gave me another keyword. this time i had to navigate through a 'cave'. so i navigated. and nothing fucking happened! i went in circles until my 'matches' were all used up. then it said 'you suck loser. game over.' actually, i think it just said 'game over'. i might have just imagined that first part. but that's essentially what 'game over' means. game over? it can't be game over! i've still got a mystery to solve!!!

after five tries of going round and round the cave and getting no where i figured out where i needed to read next in the book and had at it. and realized i'd missed a lot! somehow some poor kid was being held in the cave! goodness! so i read some more and and am getting more into it. who's the bad guy? what's going on in the big bad house? so many questions for me, Nancy Friggin Drew, to find out!

i'm nearing the end. the book gives me another password to go on the 'net and digitally detect in a science lab. woo! 'i'm about to solve the crime!' i thinks to my nancy friggin drew self. but alas! it was not to be true! the window wouldn't load!!! i tried it several times AND IT STILL WOULDN'T FUCKING LOAD!!!!!! (can you tell i'm still upset?) grrrrrr. i spent all day reading and playing around with it to get all the way to the end and not be able to solve the crime. dammit. i could just read the end of the book. but that wouldn't be any fun. i tried loaded the page again today. still wouldn't work. piece of shit

::sigh::

that's alright. i'll go play me some playstation instead. i'm addicted to the Spyro. so addicted i'm playing it all over again. after i've already beaten the whole game once. i really need to go out and buy the next one. hmmm... wonder if i have room on my credit card for a little playstation game.... hmmm.... i hate being addicted to video games. i forget to bathe. forget to eat. forget that there are humans outside this little box i live in that i like to call an apartment. but the HB isn't around today. he's out shooting people. with paintball guns. :) hmmm... i could go buy the new Spyro game and get in a few obsessive HB-free hours of game play.

no. must resist urge. must also stop typing stupid post now. hopefully by monday all my internet playing and blogging and blog reading and email checking and etc will get back to normal. :)

until then... i think i'll research the new Spyro game. ttfn!

[edited to note: after reading reviews on amazon about the new spyro i'm not too eager to go buy the game now. which is a good thing i guess. considering i can't afford to buy it right now. i'll just have to find some other (easy) game to get obsessed over. one that's old. and therefore hopefully cheap.]
