King PoppelDoppelous led the People’s Right to a swift domination of the galaxy based not on warfare but on having the planets of other nations choose to be under the King’s rule. It took a paltry twenty years to accomplish this feat. The King’s treasury was a mighty three million billion credits by the time the galaxy fell to him. Tourism really is a lucrative business. Throughout his reign, the King did not war on anyone that did not deserve it. A rogue group of pirates that destroyed every ship in the galaxy shortly fell to a single one of the King’s warships, dubbed the PooperDooper II. The I model was inadequate and the III model was merely security incase any of the various despicable aliens that also occupied the galaxy decided to step out of line. The Jagged Knife, a group that proved expertly able to persuade entire planets to betray their leaders, were flattened by the King’s mass drivers and swept up by the more than capable soldiers. It was decided that the King would take after the Jagged Knife and merely influence planets to join his nation. It was peaceful and laughably easy.

The King has since drained the oceans of PoppelDoppelonia and made them his money pits. He enjoys a good money bath every morning, ala Scrooge McDuck.

(Money is measured in bc, billion credits. So, yes, I did have three million billion credits. Also, this is a different game than the Squirrel one. I just seem to be good at breaking the game and bringing in buttloads of money, I guess.)

I haven’t started that essay yet… Ugh. They probably took down the ‘Now Hiring’ sign. Poop. I can still submit anyway. They keep applications on file for about three months, I believe, so if they’re ever hiring again… I might have a chance.

I talked (on AIM!) with Alyssa the other night. It was fun. I was in a really good mood for some reason, so I was acting kinda silly.

Team Fortress 2 is so good. I was playing CTF on this map as a Medic. I made the round winning cap (as a Medic). When the next round started, my entire team was hitting their “Medic!” voice binds. It was awesome. I also had the highest score on the server

(caution: 1440×900)

In that screenshot: Assists are how Medics own in points. That said, however, killing someone as a Medic is one of the most empowering things ever. Wild Samich was a very cool guy. I often spent my time following and healing XTJmanXT. Wii Todd was a newb, but willing to learn. Gave him some tips on how to use the syringe gun (the syringes fall FAST, gotta aim high with that thing). Justice was a dick >:( WhyMe?’s avatar is not a woman, it is a turkey. Or a chicken.

The Medic character is German. One of his cheers is “Oktoberfest!” I laughed at that one. My favorite is “I am the Ãœbermensch!”

Team Fortress 2 is neat in that it pulls your name and avatar from the newly launched Steam Community. The Steam Community also logs all of my TF2 stats. I love the fact that whenever I kill someone, their view will zoom in on me, freezeframe, and say

You got killed by
[Dexter Glaring] Sugar Death!

What’s funny is that I despise playing healing/support classes in any game.

This linked list lab that Beckman gave us confuses the hell out of me. The array list we did last semester was easy. Linked lists confuse me Also JUnit is a bitch. Joy says she’ll help us (Corey and I) when next we work on it, so maybe we’ll do that after class tomorrow. Today.

I went to bed at eight-thirty last night ’cause I was dead tired. Woke up somewhere between three and three thirty (?) and…. will be taking a nap very soon before precalc. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem, but I told Jourdan that I would call her last night, so…. crap. I should probably do that tonight.

Doom III is possibly the only game at the moment that can truly scare me, despite the fact that I have already played through this part of it… Which, of course, makes it a great game to play before going to bed (playing it in the dark is the only way to go).

I got Din to recognize one of the 120GB drives by setting the jumpers on both the 4GB and the 120GB to Cable Select. The system now hangs on the second boot up screen that displays a bunch of data. Why is it hanging? Well, there is one piece of data that is missing: the size of the 120GB drive.

Yippee.

Work six-forty-five until approximately two-thirty Friday night. I will try my damndest to go to bed “early” so that I can wake up almost fully rested and get to Andrew’s for the LAN by noon. Ideally, I would sleep ALL day Friday and be rested and ready for a full twenty-four hour LAN, but that is not going to happen this time.

If this LAN does not rock, heads will roll. Either by gauntlet or lightsaber.

Fucking zombie scientists… my heart is still racing… How can the soldiers’ pistols be that powerful! Mine is not even that strong! We are all using the same, standard issue UAC pistol, too!

And of course the game always finds a way to leave me with two health just before I encounter an Imp.

Jason wants to meet up for slurpies with Cat sometime tomorrow? I doubt I will be awake until six in the afternoon.

It is really hard to go to sleep with the birds chirping so cheerfully.

Why you discolor my skin like that, that’s not cool! D:

One of the muggiest mornings I have experienced in quite some time (oh, about nine month’s time) was spent getting rid of wood chips in front of the theatre in preparation for the new batch that is arriving tomorrow. I am really hoping those thunderstorms tonight cool things off for tomorrow morning. There should be more people tomorrow, too. It was just Dan Kelly, Brian the maintanence dude (not my brother or the manager), and me. Apparently Elisa is working tomorrow. It has been too long since I have made fun of her!

I am upset that Nicole got promoted to OC and transferred to the Great Lakes Crossing Star theatre… No longer can I play with the things at Guest Services and make her mad! Stupid changes at the stupid theatre. Time to pick up the kiddies from school in two hour’s time.

Having my computer hooked up to the stereo instead of my speakers is neat. My speakers are cool and all, but the sound they project is very directed. If that makes sense. The stereo in the family room sounds good from anywhere. My speakers only really sound good if they are aimed right at your head. Then again, I could use my subwoofer with the speakers out here instead of the stereo amp.. ::evil grin::

It could have just been that MSV rooms have shitty acoustics.

So the three FPS Tourney game choices (for the LAN) are Jedi Academy, Doom 2, and Tribes 2. I was torn between Doom and Tribes, I do not appreciate the hard decision Andrew! It is cruel to make one choose between such loves!

–My mind just blanked, wtf? Um.. this is awkward…–

Oh. I eventually picked Doom 2 because I figured it would be a lot more fun than Tribes (well, Hunters or Team Hunters would be fun. We should also try (Team) Rabbit). But at the end of the day, nothing beats the BFG9000.

I really do need to find AndrAIa a permanent home. I dislike having to constantly zoom in on text in order to read it.
Stupid low-resolution TV. It is great for watching movies and playing games, like Doctor Who and Nexuiz specifically and respectively.

Meh, I sitll need to unpack everything as it is. I will probably live out of my duffel bag until it runs out of clothes and they are all circulated into the normal wash cycle. All of my other crap currently resides in the family room. About half of it (the family room).

Next on the agenda: Install Unreal Tournament 2006, see if I can patch Tribes 2 Linux (Tribes 2 Windows via WINE does not agree much with my mouse acceleration), install Quake 3 Linux using, but without breaking, Quake 3 Windows installation, and possibly see if I can get Kevin’s Star Trek game to work via WINE.

Apparently when I grabbed my broken PS2 from Pete’s room, his PS2 harddrive was in it.

…

I have a 160GB harddrive sitting in a box on my dining room table. Game time, anyone? This is kind of ridiculous: I have Casey’s Wii Play game, his Wiimote and nunchuk, and even his Wavebird and receiver. I have Corey’s boxed Prey game. And I have Pete’s PS2 harddrive. I really hope I do not have anything else that belongs to anyone else. That would be almost silly. How did this happen?

ATI needs to hurry up and release drivers for the newest version of X. It is kind of hard to get David to switch to Ubuntu if the drivers are not there. Or I could just have him run an older version of X… Hm. We shall see. He says all he really needs it for is Warcraft III, which works fine for me. He somehow even got it to run WITH the CD (I had to use a CD crack), when playing via WINE. Problem is, it renders everything so horribly slow with the current drivers.

Time to shower, sweat seems caked to skin.

Took the bio exam this morning, doubt that went all that well..

Came to my room, showered, and played some melee with Jason, Matt, Toro, Kevin and Phil. Then I played some Nexuiz, which is a very fun twitch-FPS. It uses a heavily modified Quake 1 engine, but it looks great. It’s been about a year, I believe, since I actually last played, and since then they’ve added bots, a few more game types, a single player campaign, new maps, better network code?, and a ping display! I just spent the last two and a half hours playing through the last ten levels of the campaign. I had to have spent at least half an hour on the final level alone, playing it over and over until I finally won.

It’s nice to be able to spend some time playing a game without having to actually worry about anything. I mean, I’ve gotta worry about cleaning the room and finding all my stuff and when I am leaving (and what to do with my keys and stuff; and, depending on when I leave, what to do in regards to friends when I get back.. most of the losers are still in highschool), but that’s all just fun stuff. I took three exams, turned in two papers. All is done. Happy.

Phil, Jason, and I ordered Giordonnos (sp?) and watched the Fantastic Four movie that came out a while back. Everyone at work was saying it sucked, but, while it could have been better, I enjoyed it. They did spend too much time just goofing around and not really advancing the plot, but I guess that’s what the Rise of The Silver Surfer is for, eh? And besides, Jessica Alba.

A very lame volleyball game commenced around nine. It was two on two at first, Jason and Kevin against OB and me. Linda played for their team a bit, then our team, then left. Then Galina joined our team, Toro theirs, Brooke ours. At one point I rushed out of there because the pizza had gone right through me, and I didn’t think that would have been a pretty sight on a volleyball court. I slept from about ten-thrity to two-thirty. Apparently Phil isn’t enjoying the pizza either… Haven’t been able to sleep since. Jeremy’s parents are gonna be here around noon, and he wants me up to help clean and what not. I’m probably not gonna sleep. Go shower, see if the cafeteria is open for breakfast, talk to work about next semester and retaking precalc, play some more games, etc.

This summer is gonna be great. Gotta catch up on so many video games <_< I really wish I had the money to play FFXI again…

Was thinking of heading over to the lake for the sunrise. Maybe tomorrow.
