It's a blog... but it's not a blog.

• 30Sep 09

  I just realized I haven't made a blog in a long time.

  I think I'll make one now.

  First, Scribblenauts. I got it a few days ago and have been playing it since. It's very fun, the amount of objects you can create is amazing, and Cthulu. My favorite puzzle is the one where you contain a corpse and bury it, even if it is really easy. The game has its flaws however, as shown in the below quote because I don't want to retype it and just copypasting it would be boring.

  Sure, it's really fun with the amount of objects you can use, and some of the puzzles are pretty fun to solve (only SOME). But I'm going to say what just about everyone else has said, and that is that the game doesn't MAKE you be creative. Most levels can be solved with the exact same two objects every time. It kinda loses the fun.

  Aside from that, there's also the ridiculous controls. You tap. Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap. Tap. Tap for movement. Tap for placing objects. Tap for making objects. Tap for shooting. Tap for grabbing. Tap for everything. Naturally, you'd expect a few movement problems from this. What would wouldn't expect is the game confusing "place water on fire" with "run Maxwell into a tripwire/pool of lava/Cthulu". I found myself making a wall on some levels just to stop my daft hero from killing himself.

  Second, I like these songs. They don't really have much to do with each other but they're really good

  Finally, cross country. I went up to Memphis a few weeks ago and ran in some big meet. It was fun, I ran the best 5K I've ever run, and I threw up. How fun. I really wasn't expecting to run it in 22:05

  Oh yes, have a pretty picture

  Random silly things

  'Ello.

  Just some stuff.

  School started yesterday. Since it exceeded my extremely low expectations, I'd say freshman year will actually be pretty good.
  I have an xfire, add me as bush42.
  I'm running a 5K called "Run for the Son" tomorrow. At 8 am.
  A great friend of mine (at least in my opinion) had to move away. Darn.
  I can apparently get a new game, and I'd like a Burnout game, but I can't decide between Revenge and Paradise.

  Later.

  A brief glimpse into the life of shadowsurvivor1.

  WAZZZZZAAAAAHHHHHHHHH.

  Big news, Internet! After months of talking about it with no real plans of getting it, I bought Fallout 3.

  It is AWESOME. But then again, so was Oblivion. And Fallout 3's basically Oblivion with guns.

  Sorry if I can't provide a better description. Just google it or something, lazy bums.

  So. Lots of celeb deaths. Farrah Fawcett, MJ, Ed McMahan, and Billy Mays. I was really shocked at Mays's death, and made it a point to yell at everyone in his honor.

  So I was looking at my long-forgotten profile and realized that I'm almost level 32. 99% as of this blog.
  I got the feeling that I wound up with 7000something posts and a lot of pointless blogs without actually doing anything.

  Basketball Team Camp is this week. I HATE it. 5 22 minute games? For 5 days? Really now. They're also really spaced out and we can't leave in between, so I was stuck in my school's gym from 9 in the morning to 7 in the afternoon.

  To make up for my complete lack of anything funny in the past few months, have a picture
