I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Mine was pretty fun. Thursday I had to get up all early to go to my grandma's house to eat. I ate a ton, as usual, and by the time I got home, I was pretty sleepy so I passed out for 4 hours. When I woke up, all I could hear was noise downstairs. It turns out about half of my relatives (on my dad's side) were at our house for a huge Thanksgiving feast. I'm pretty sure we violated some kind of fire code because there were so many people, there was nowhere to sit so people were just sitting on the floor or standing around. I went down to say hi to everyone and chit chat, but quickly snuck back up to my room to hide. The last of them left around midnight, which I was glad for because I don't like noise. During all that, I put my Xbox Live subscription to good use and played just about every game I had with Live capabilities. I spent most of my time playing Rallisport and Halo 2 though.
Friday I went over to Minh & Cassie's apartment for a potluck. We invited several people from work, but only Kenneth, Candace, and Mack showed up. Not a bad turnout. The food was great and we ended up having lots of leftovers. We had Vietnamese spring rolls, spinach lasagna, rotisserie chicken, chicken wings, stuffing, boston creme pie, and some over food I forgot. All in all it was a good time and I ate too much once again. After stuffing ourselves, we went to play pool for the rest of the night, then back for a little xbox before I went home for more Halo 2 online.
Saturday and Sunday I pretty much did nothing except more Halo 2, Rallisport, and DoA2 online. If it hasn't become apparent yet, I'm quickly becoming an Xbox Live addict, and I've already decided to go buy a headset next weekend because it's annoying to not be able to talk back to other players. I would have gotten one this weekend, but I have a lot of stuff due this week and I know if I had it now I'd spend all my time playing instead of doing my work.
Speaking of which, this week I have an EvoPsych paper, Photography project, and a photography book review all due Tuesday. I have to complete and mail my JET program application by Wednesday. Friday I have a Computers & Writing paper due. Also on Friday is my graduation ceremony. It's been 5.5 long years and sadly my college life is coming to a close. I honestly don't want to leave now that I'm just now really starting to enjoy myself, but it will be nice to not have to worry about homework and tests anymore. The weird thing though is that a week and a half after Friday, I have my last and only final, for Perception. Strangely, if I don't pass that final/class, I won't graduate. I'm not sure what'll happen then, and I hope I don't get to find out.
Well, now that I'm done typing this, I think it's time for more Halo 2 or DoA2 online. For those who are curious as to how crappy I am at Halo 2, you can check out my stats, which are now linked on the side, over to the right. I'm terrible at that game. :) If you'd like to play me at any other game, my gamertag is AntX3, but tell me if you're gonna add me. I don't accept friend requests from strangers. Enough rambling, it's game time.
Thanks for not telling everyone you beat me at that game. Just hang in there for your one final and hope that you get accepted to the JET program.
You have a friend named Mack? Total ownage over here. :(
Hey homie, a few guys at work have gotten Halo 2 and keep poking and prodding me to get it. They say it's unbelievably bad ass, and from how much you're playing it, it sounds like you have the same opinion on it! AHH. Time to break down and get it. I just HATTTTE, HATE, HATE FPSs on gamepads. However, check this out -> http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=53&products_id=5438
Joseph bought Half-Life 2 about a week ago and that game is super rad.
He's being a puss about playing Xbox on his rear projection 48" tv because he says it'll burn it in, so if I do get it I'll have to hook it up to my crappy 20".
I'll keep you posted and maybe we could all play sometime.
Hey Kyle, let me know when you get Halo 2 so we can play online.
Oh yeah, congrats on graduating Ant. It was long overdue.
yeah Kyle, I felt the same way, even after beating the first Halo, but for some reason Halo 2 sucked me in and now I play it all the time. In general though, I still don't care much for FPSs on consoles. I don't think I'll be playing any others, at least not for a while.
