My style gaming

Several of my siblings and friends game. And by that I mean they play games that have story arches and real people writing quests and stuff. I play arcade style games, like Tetris.

I love Tetris. It is the best game ever. It is also very mind numbing. After so many hours of playing Tetris I go outside and look at the skyline and imagine what Tetris pieces would fit best into it.

If someone made me a ring like that I would marry them. Minimal questions asked.
I pretty much adore Tetris. It's such a sleek game. All the pieces fit (mostly) nicely together and it can be challenging (playing Tetris while several caffeinated is difficult). My mother bought me a Tetris card game for Christmas and it is fantastic. At first it was rather confusing (I am not even going to attempt to explain here) but if you love Tetris I would strongly suggest playing it with friends.

Hedgehog Launch and Hedgehog Launch 2 are extremely addicting games from addictinggames.com . Which really, the website explains everything. My first year of college (possibly in high school) best friend (nurse) showed me this game. And I didn't stop till I beat it, which took way longer than it should have. The whole point of the game is to launch the hedgehog into space. Super exciting. I guess that game has a story line, if you really stretch the meaning of story line. Each turn you take to get the hedgehog in space is considered one day and they least amount of days gets the better score. It's a lot of fun, kind of stupid but fun.

I can fly, if I have fuel.

And finally, the game I've played obsessively since ... I don't even know when. Minesweeper. Best game ever. We are just going to ignore the fact that it is part of Windows. (I really do not like Windows. Like really don't like). I love this game. I will play it for hours. Hours. At one point in my life I played it so often I started dreaming in Minesweeper. I would not suggest doing that. It's weird.

I think I have gotten close to that time before.

Last year for my birthday I got a Minesweeper cupcake cake. It was fantastic. The cupcakes that were mines had raspberry filling, super yummy!

I lurve you Nangela!

why I hate summer

I think humidity was invented by the devil. He goes to certain areas and starts a hell fire roasting right under the city to make it humid. He then reaps lots of benefits as people commit illegal acts.

Summer also makes me feel like I am in a hamster wheel. I feel like I keep doing the same things over and over and not getting anywhere in life. I don't know why I am doing it, I just know I need to. Because running in one place is important for the balance of the universe. Why else to people willingly go to the gym and work out. It's cuz they drew the bad lot and are working out so that everybody can be lazy.

Something astounding happened last night. It was sooo humid it set of a fire alarm. Not joking. I was getting all cozy in my bed when this high pitched sound pierced the silence. Stupid smoke detector was a freaking shrieking disc of death. It was terrible.

The Noise! I wanted to go and buy a sledge hammer so I could beat it until it could never make a sound again. Like I said earlier the only thing the girl had done was turn off her ac unit making the room hot and stuff. and Kabooom. The freaking thing went off. Stupid erratic smoke detectors that make my life difficult.

Dive Bomber Mouse ... takes over the world

I was at work minding my own business, when all of a sudden my mouse jumps across the screen and starts tweaking out. I was a little surprised but I figured it would finish tweaking in a few seconds and then not do it again, ever. Once it had decided to be a cooperative piece of electronic ingenious technology I went on my merry way assuming everything was just peachy now. And we all know what assumptions do... So I now have a mouse that works approximately half of the time I want it to. The other half it chills in a corner of the screen refusing to move. It makes me want to go back to the good ol' days of non-optical mouses... Is it mice or mouses?

I am going with mouses because it should make people realize that I am talking about computer mice and not Pinky and the Brain. Although I love Pinky and the Brain, best kids show ever! EVER! Nothing they have on TV now even comes close to the awesome shows of when I was a kid.

Except for maybe Avatar: the Last Airbender. That is a pretty rockin' show. Although it the movie seems to be dubious, I have only heard bad reviews ... really bad reviews. It makes me want to cry. I spent hours looking forward to this movie and all I hear is that it is terrible. *sigh* it is enough to drive someone into a caffeine drinking frenzy.

Avatar: the Last Airbender is the real avatar. The people who decided to put out "Avatar" (Sarcasm Quotes) the same year as The Last Airbender are poo heads. This movie has been showing previews before "Avatar" did, and they just jump up and are all like "I want to make a film using a plot that is waaaaaaay over done, then name it after a movie that is going to come out a few months after I do, on top of all the other stupid stuff I am also going to put subtitles in an "original" font that looks just like papyrus... I am such an awesome movie, Watch me watch me!

"Plus I started a 3D crazy so anyone who wears glasses is going to have a fun time watching me! Oh yeah, btw I am going to push a huge agenda 'cuz that sounds fun! Also the only real reason to watch me is for the special effects, so you might as well watch a documentary on how the effects were made 'cuz it would give the same feel."

And that is why I refuse to watch "avatar" it is a sham that should have put a good plot before the special effects. A movie isn't worth watching unless it has a good plot, good acting and good effects. So "avatar" is out.
