Card Counting
Fighting stick man, the arcade return
Bubbles game, and who is that at no.1 for the time being?

The last game of the world series. Tied at 1-1 bottom of the second. It is late. I’m not going to see the end of this game. Lets just say that the Giants win, and I’ll go to bed believing that until I get up later.

Shines = 63. Haven’t been playing too much, had a slight return to Super Monkey Ball this weekend. I like it when you can leave a game for a month or two, come back to it, not have lost any of your finesse and skill (well except for the bowling, I’ve only had the magic touch on that for one weekend a good few months ago) and basically still love the game. Rare thing with games

Doh, meant to add this all weekend 😉 Review of UT2003 by me

The sort of tired that comes from physical work. Not too much, but still tired because of it. Kind of hard to focus tonight, I keep getting distracted by many things. Brainfade is what I refer to it as.

Sniper threatening to kill lots of American children. Armed men have taken 1000 people hostage in Moscow. And Ulrika’s alledged rapist is revealed. This is the news. Still, at least I’ve upped my total number of kills on Unreal Tournament. I’m not a violent person, society is to blame.

Zippy

Mood = middle, Hair = roughly 3/4inch medium coverage, Brain = sort of distracted thinking of Mario and Unreal Tournament 2003

Feign indifference, play fair, ride a black swan and hope for the best

Running just as fast as you can. Trying to get away into the night.

Niccotene Level = feels lower than it should. Solution = smoke more or less, depending on required result

Shines = 60. Finish = 120 Obvious = only halfway on Super Mario Sunshine.

Cuts = inside of middle finger right hand. Possibly due to cutting kindling for a fire with a small blunt knife. Solution = buy ready-cut kindling.

Speed = Slowish today. Walked home from work fast yesterday, possibly a world record of some nature. This morning was far more sluggish, noticably, even allowing for an upwards slope. Solution = always walk with tailwind behind, will feel less tired even if I don’t always get to where I intend.

Someone e-mailed me to say they had a problem with their machine. Except they didn’t.
Except that their e-mail was sending messages it shouldn’t. So it had a problem. Which I then fixed. Very odd. I understood the problem, but just wierd that it was almost as if the machine rather than the user was telling me what was wrong. I guess thats the future for you. Oh, and watch CNX if you have cable or satellite. Cartoons and Hong Kong Cinema. You know it makes sense.

No shines tonight. About 3/4 hour play, and no shines. It is round about now that they start to dry up, you really, really have to work for them. I’ve got a couple of hours to myself to kill tomorrow night, so I might push on and try for a few more. Also got a better go on Unreal Tournament 2003, the full version. Not quite back into it, but I’ll get there. As for The Sims, spent about an hour installing it, loading up expansion packs. Played my first game. Within ten minutes one of the women had cooked herself a meal, set fire to the house, and killed her housemate. That is possibly one of the most brutal and unexpected starts to a game ever for me. Having put out the fire, to allow her a bit of recovery, I put her to bed. Then the house gets robbed. I ended up with a bare house, and her standing in a room just shaking her head. Sim games and me just don’t go together I guess.

By all accounts, Iron Chef could be the next big TV format in the UK. Masterchef meets American Gladiators.

16.02.03 Emul8tor

Have been playing an N64 emulator today, that is the best emulator ever. Its is called Project 64, and it craps all
over any other emu I’ve ever played. It is the nirvana I have been waiting for, for some
time too. Will put some links up at a more sociable hour

It is also damn cold tonight. Far far too cold.

Doom and despair abounds. Nothig ever fucking changes, except around me.

And what’s fucking happened? Girl J, so I am told by E, has a crush on me. She’s everything I am not looking for. What a joke. You wait 19 years. And what comes along? Fuck nothing. Zero-Zero-Nought

FUCKING ZERO
FUCKING ZERO
FUCKING ZERO
NORMAN FUCKS ME UP
