Speshul Treet

I guess I may as well put up my super short story. I don't feel like really writing today.
  "Delicious. Oh, how I do love almonds, and how I love their oh-so-tasty aroma," Salvatore sang to himself, prancing about his kitchen. Sal was a well known chef in his day, stirring up many a spicy dish. But no more. This was his last. His finale was  going to be as grand as any, hopefully even more so. He turned off the oven to get a taste of his newest meal. He turned on his TV, and plopped down into his ever-so-comfy recliner. As he watched the news for a short time, he sucked in every aspect of his dish. Sal frowned, mumbling, "Hmm, not quite ready. Needs more pepper."

    He arrived at the meeting early, to carefully add the finishing touches on his final masterpiece. The President was going to there, Sal knew. If Sal could impress him, one of the most powerful men in the world, his life would be complete. He readied everything to be served, and one by one everything was laid out for all the men and women at the table. As was customary, Sal, the chef, was to introduce the current dish. "Well, Sal, you've practiced this so many times. You know what to do... here goes nothing."

     There were no survivors.

 And in case the meanings escape you: 
Almonds = The smell of C4
Kitchen = Lab 
Chef = Bombmaker
Spicy Dish = Explosives
Meal = Explosion
Oven = Remote detonator safety 
Pepper = Blackpowder

Plight or Delight?

I love my computer. It runs. That's my number 1 requirement.

But I need more. I have four games I need to play on the computer. The aforementioned Minecraft, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Oblivion.

But I cannot. Sadly.

So I did some research. And I found out that SCREW THAT I DON'T HAVE $1000.
So I did some more research. And found out that it costs about $300, give or take, to assemble my own computer that runs like the $1000+ ones.

Still, don't have 300 bones to fork over, but it's better than $1000 for a computer that'll probably die in a month or so.

In the words of my idol:
"NAH NAH, WHY DON'T YOU GET A JOB."

Meinkraft est mein kraft.

Managed to get Minecraft working on my craptop. Fantastic game, what with the mechanisms and such.
Still runs slow, but it's worth it.

Although I have to turn the Mobs(aka monsters) off, since I don't want one of these guys:






to live up to their name of Creeper, and creeping up and EXPLODING.

Other than that, all's good, brah.

Nana Anna Nana

Ever watch the anime Nana? Ever hear of it? Because this post is hardly related to it.

The opening of the show has the song "Rose" by Anna Tsuchiya. And I am fairly obsessed with her.

Not hard to see why.

She has a fantastic voice, in my opinion.



That's up to you to decide.

Even if you decide wrong.

Überleet

I woke up early this morning. As in 1PM. I couldn't back to sleep, big surprise.
So me, being who I am, randomly decided to hack my video games.

I didn't have enough time to figure things out on my own, however I did come across this video for modifying the wastescape of Fallout 3.



So far I haven't gotten it figured out, since my Autosave is corrupting, and it crashes when I leave the room. But I'll figure it out.

Or not. Can't say for sure.

On My Own, Here We Go



I had maybe a half our of sleep last night. It was my fault entirely. I was composing music on the keyboard. And by the time I was ready to stop, it was maybe 5:00. I figured I wouldn't make it to school if I fell asleep. So I forced myself to stay up until my bus pulled up. And I napped. For a short time. Then I went back to composing music in ACID Pro. Without a keyboard this time.

Now I'm so out of it. So. Very. Out. Of. It.

This sucks.

Totally worth it.

Before You Travel On

On Tuesday, the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Lonesome Road, came out. And I have been waiting for it since I got the game, all those months ago. Yeah, waiting months for a DLC.

Worth it.
"Lonesome Road brings the Courier's story full circle when you are contacted by the original 'courier six', a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum chip at the start of the main storyline in Fallout: New Vegas. In his transmission, Ulysses promises the answer as to why, but only if you take one last job - a job that leads you into the depths of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by frequent earthquakes and violent storms. This is the fabled location of the battle between the Courier and Ulysses. The road to the Divide is a long and treacherous one, and of the few to ever walk the road, none have ever returned." - The Vault

It was pretty amazing, albeit a pain.  At least a couple of short parts are. There are this lizard men called "Tunnelers", which are more or less Sleestak wannabes.

Jealous?  

 I hate them. They do just as their name implies. The dig. And they're cowards. AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM. So the hiding makes them hard to kill. They're not as bad as Deathclaws, though. Those are some evil beasts.

Also, you blow up nuclear warheads with lasers. Love it.
