I've Got a Bad Feeling About This
January 11, 2002

Oo-da-lally. It's that RANT time again, folks, can you believe it? I know I can't, in fact, because I nearly missed writing this. Oopsie... ::sheepish grin::
So here I am in AZ, looking for work, missing Josiah (cue ::sad puppy face::), and playing WAY too many video games. I even cracked out an old copy of SimCity 2000. You think I'm kidding? I wish I were. I had completely forgotten what whiny little dissatisfied bitches Citizens are. My city for a Royal Cosmic Bitchslap for all of them, jeeeeeez.

But ONE game caught me (and certainly Josiah while he was down here) with all the gentleness of a rabid doberman hyped up on crack and cherry squishies: Fallout 2. Now, I don't know how many of you out there in Readerland have actually *played* this game, but rest assured that if you do not get off your asses and run out to Target or Best Buy or whatever and snatch up a copy of it, I will make it my mission in life to hunt you down and fillet you like the spaced-out Hubologist bastards you are. What's that? You don't know what a "Hubologist" is? Well BUY THE GAME, dammit, and FIND OUT.

...Sorry. I have lapses now and then. I'm sure I'll rant more about it later, but Fallout 2 is perhaps my new favorite game. Who wants the Sims when you can pimp out your spouse, who needs Civilization when you can help save the world from mutants and Facist government thugs in power armor? W00t, folks, for the best (and I think only) post-apocalyptic nuclear RPG out there. I've heard Fallout 3: Tactics actually sucks, which is a damn shame, but jeez...a big wet sloppy passionate mental French kiss to all the programmers over there at Black Isle Studios who put Fallout 2 together. I want to bear your children. Wait...not really. Maybe in a spiritual sense or something. Can you make a Fallout MMORPG? [um...I think it would play something like Ultima Online...which can be good or bad - Josiah] Sure, it'd make my social life (and life as a whole, think I) essentially cease to exist, but Jesus, I'd just love to bask in the holy glow of such a thing. Zoinks.

Oy. I must get going. It's getting late over here, and I have many radscorpions to kill before I sleep. Hope everything is going cool with my peeps out there. Be well.

Word.

Guess what? It's getting late, and Annie hasn't sent me her rant yet. Most likely she's chilling with some friends. I will be telling you all about something that she wanted to bring up though...Namely Fallout and Fallout 2.

If you've never played them...you should. If you've got a windows based PC, head to your local Wall Mart or K-Mart, and pick up the pair for like $10. Well worth the bank. When I was down there, we spent all of our not-hanging-out-with-friends time essentially playing Fallout 2 (she didn't have 1). It freaking rocks. Oh, and I beat it this evening. I should have been working on my capstone, so I can graduate, but I got a lot of work done today and thought I deserved a break. So booger on you.

Oh and I almost forgot, remember a few days ago when I pimped out some friends? Well, really I shouldn't have left this guy out. He's a real sweetie, nice and tall (around 6'), kinda geeky, but hey, if you're my friend, let's be realistic here, you're a bit geeky anyways. So yeah. His name is Eric Hoffman, and he lives across the hall with Allen Wong (and Martin Chang, but I'm pretty sure Martin's got a girl). He's on the far left of the pic below.

So yeah...be good peoples.
