One similarity between a cool Dynasty Warrior and Baby twisted beyond repair?

DING DING! This was what happened: I was waiting for my brother to finish his guitar lesson and I decided that I could play some Dynasty Warrior since I brought the PSP along. Well I haven’t played it for a long time, so when I was using Zhao Yun and doing some cool damage, he popped out a line “Victory is mine!”

Wait, what?!?

Maybe it’s just me being bored, but it seriously cracked me up when I heard it. The word “Victory” itself is gaudy enough to be funny, and in additional to the fact that I can’t help but to connect it with Mister Steward Gilligan Griffin AKA little Hitler Stewie, my admiration for Zhao Yun had just dipped a yard (mind you, it’s still pretty high though). Although it still can’t be compared to the bad script of Resident Evil series, it’s still pretty bad. Bad as in funny. Like Clown funny. And clown funny is bad.

Make this work and I’ll forgive all the other crap that you made.

DING DING! Back story: I forgot how long it’s been, but I think it was some time around 2003 or 2004, when I was reading this TIMES article about Disney and PIXAR’s future projects, which included The Incredibles and Cars, there was a mention of a Rapunzel being in production. Being the Fairy Tale fanatic I am (I even capitalized the “F” and “T”) I was so very looking forward to it. But lo behold, the only news I heard about it ever since was that the director got fired and a new director came aboard and so we might never see this film in our lifetime.

THEN TODAY, I went to IMDB to check out some trivia for this horrible movie I bought, and on the front page was the concept art of Rapunzel!!

Check out how awesome they are!

I was happy! But not as happy as when I got Resident Evil 4 for my birthday. But still rather happy. Although, there is one thing that bothered me on their company credits page:

Where’s PIXAR?!? You promised it be a PIXAR damit you!! (Well, not exactly promised, but it was in print! And we all know that prints don’t lie, only the internet! (except for Wikipedia) See what I did there? A parenthesis in a parenthesis! That’s how babies came about.)

Because 我 is me.

But careful is not me. And neither is lucky. Ding Ding! Story is – I made a pretty sculpture of the Licker from Resident Evil using Super Sculpey, and it was a pretty good job if I may say so myself. BUT! When I was curing it in the oven, whether the heat is too high, or I left it in too long, I have no idea, BUT my beloved sculpture burnt black in less 5 minutes!!

My one month (on and off) hard work all reduced to carbon within 5 minutes…Now I can actually understand how victims of house fire feel. Or the parent of a microwaved baby. Because we all know that urban legends are actually true.

Oh woe…

EDIT: I used acrylic paint and tried to paint over it. Turned out alright I guess..

with thanks to my lovely sister the sponsor.

This is the story:

So today, my sister and I went out and paid a little visit to the game store we have not visited in a while. We got all our PS3 games there. Heck, I think we’ve even got our PS3 console there. Anyhoo, today we went and for some weird reason the store was superbly crowded, especially around the PS3 games section. We maneuvered our way through the crowd to a nice spot where we can see most of the titles, and then we started to try and decide which one to get. The game on the top of my list was Batman Arkham Asylum because, man, the whole internet is crazy over it and I know I HAD to get the game! But it’s a freakin 79 bucks, so screw that, it can wait. And Uncharted 2 was the thing-to-get for some reason, even saw a guy having this conversation with the store person about them not having a copy of it when he wanted it blah blah blah etc. but I haven’t heard enough of the game to care, so that can wait to.

And then I saw Bioshock for 29 bucks. DING DING, here’s a funny story: On my last birthday, this really good friend of mine bought me a copy of Bioshock for PC. I was beyond thrilled, but I went home and tried to play it on my laptop and apparently the laptop couldn’t handle the awesomeness that disk contained, so it wouldn’t play. Months & months & months later, my laptop died and got replaced by a good old Mac Book Pro I bought secondhand from my cousin. Like the saying goes: Macbook Pros don’t run PC games. And so, that copy of the game never saw the sunlight again (Well, not counting those times when I took it out to drool over it.) DING DING, end of story. The moral of the story? My sister bought it. 29 bucks, that’s less than half of Batman, and I’m not even using a calculator.

Beside Bioshock, there’s the Orange Box that contained the game Portal which I had been wanting to play for a while; there’s Ghostbusters; there’s Assassin’s Creed, and then I saw Ghost Recon. Immediately it brought back memories of the time when my cousin and I rented it and it broke his PS3. Good times, good times.

So in the end, we got Ghost Recon and Bioshock. Two games richer, whoots! (30 hours of my life poorer – for bioshock at least). Now it’s between completion of Fallout 3 and the starting of the new games. To complete or begin, to complete or begin…that is the question.

I’ll think about it after I finish Fallout 3.
