New contender for wrongest statement ever uttered in human history!

I cannot believe what I just heard from WatchMojo on YT. In their top ten list of greatest video game stories ever, .... (*starts to heave*) .... Bioshock Infinite was at number one.

I just downed the last 1/4 of my liter bottle of eggnog in the fridge. The buzz is not coming on near fast enough. What use is it .... I could chug straight grain alcohol and it wouldn't make me forget this atrocious statement.

Are you certain this wasn't a top ten for worst stories ever told? Because that would make a lot more sense.

Just came back from seeing a performance of The Nutcracker at the Shreveport Metro Ballet Theater. I must say, I am impressed. I found the performance quite captivating from beginning to end, so fifteen dollars dropped to see this was quite worth it. The two most impressive dance segments were the sword fight between The Rat King and The Nutcracker, and then the dance performed by several unnamed women (servants of the Sugar Plum Fairy, perhaps) while the orchestra played "Waltz of the Flowers", which has always been perhaps one of my favorite musical pieces of all time.

But holy crap I can't believe how rude some people in the audience are even today. Unfortunately it turned out I didn't reserve such a good spot in the audience for seclusion after all, as at the last possible minute these two older women and a little girl came to sit down in the row of three seats just behind me. One of the women's cell phone kept ringing and she just wouldn't turn the blasted thing off, FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES TOTAL. And then she kept shifting around in her seat and rattling keys for three or four minutes, like a child would when he gets bored during performances like this. What the deal?

Well, now that I live in a bigger city, it seems I more easily have opportunities to pursue possible artistic interests such as this. I know something like the ballet has been something of a social taboo among guys, but it intrigues me now, and I have no problem saying it. In fact, next to housewife, violinist, and IHOP waitress, I hope my future wife will be a ballerina as her career choice. ^_^

GOOD JOB FINALLY!

So, here is the chat log on the conversation me and Lantis had yesterday about Bioshock Infinite. It was no coincidence that right after this I went and complained about why I hate the story in Infinite to a coworker who asked me to explain the cutesy Little Sister artwork on my gmail background, and then last night I dreamed about having to write a term paper in English Comp about why I think the story of Bioshock Infinite sucks, and it made me very popular with everyone else in class when I revealed it. This teeth-grindingly irritating story has gotten under my skin ever since I had the incredible unfortunate and damnable determined instinct that I do in difficult video game battles to complete the game and see its ending, and now it's going to haunt me in the exact same two ways that cockroaches do. Just putting it up if you'd like some more insight, though it's quite a bit of manually formatted text.

This has been on my mind a bit lately.

A post from Etna once in a thread about what scares you ->

Quote:

BTW, i'm not really scared of the dying...but i'm just afraid i'll get Hell after i die.I mean a forever torcher is just painful... :XD

.

And my response to it (this was over five years ago) ->

Quote:

@Etna -
... Etna, dear child, no one "rules" in Hell; it just plain sucks to be there, period, no matter who you are. It's fine that games like Disgaea sort of paint a lighthearted, whimsical picture of the Underworld, and we can laugh about it that way, but there is still the reality. But, of course, there is a way that you don't have to be afraid of Hell, regardless ....

I doubt anybody remembers this, much less offended by it if they even did, but I still want to say that I couldn't be much sorrier for having conceded to this BS teaching enough to talk to someone else like that, much less that someone being just a kid. What I said was a barely dressed-up version of the damn near robotic "lovingly warning" preaching I've heard from everyone else who never looked and thought for themselves. And now I am sorry for it. I only wish I could apologize to Samantha for it myself. If only more evangelists had had the courage to look closer for themselves sooner. In both the Bible AND their own hearts.

Just wanted to get that out of the way.

Wasn't so Super, sadly.

Hey guys! Remember me? I'm that guy! The one's who's not Brazilian?
I'm bummed about slowly moving away from this community. Soon I will have more time and while I promise NOTHING, I hope I can at least pretend I am paying attention to my RPGM game.

So... the Superbowl, huh? Didn't watch it. I heard that we didn't even get the so awaited ads and got local (puertorrican adds.)
I heard some people say that there was a football game during Bruno Mars' concert that day. XD

Mama said there'd be days like this. There'd be day like this my mama said.
