Bag Of Crap - Thursday, July 15, 2010
So during the last Woot-off, I was able to get a Bag of Crap! I got it more for the honor associated with successfully ordering a bag of crap. So when my box from Woot arrive, I was excited. Here’s what I got in my Bag of Crap:
Two calenders, a Pirates of the Caribbean pack (and we all know how much I like Pirates of the Caribbean), and two High School Musical alarm clocks. Weak? Infinitely. I was saddened by my BoC until I saw this:
This thing is awesome! You want to know why it’s awesome? It flies and shrieks during flight. That is just absurdly awesome. You know what else is awesome? This picture Rachel drew. Am I on a robotic raptor? Indeed I am. I didn’t even mention the sword, she just added it because she’s awesome. Third nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. Ever.
My brother is currently visiting me, and he beat FF XIII quicker than I. Jerk. At least that gave him more time to kill zombies. I’ve bought the Resident Evil 5 DLC, and I refuse to play with an A.I. This is the first time I’ve played Resident Evil 5 on my widescreen TV with two players, and for some asinine reason, our screens don’t fill up the entire TV. All that black space on my TV makes me feel cheated. While playing RE 5, my brother and I realized how much better it would be if we were playing with a keyboard and mouse (or a Wiimote). Shooters with gamepads are not the most elegant way to go.
Speaking of elegance, I got a Starcraft 2 beta key, and my SC2 abilities are anything but elegant. My macro and micro are steadily improving, but I seem to make silly mistakes and pay for it. For example, this guy is coming for my base, but there are rocks blocking his way. I, of course, want to make mutalisks to defend this. I have the minerals and gas for this, but I let myself get supplied blocked (no mutalisks for me until I get more overlords). So by the time he gets into my base, I don’t have nearly enough mutalisks to fend off the attack (I have plenty of overlords now) and it’s all over. A wiser man would have taken some drones and turned them into spine crawlers to fend off this attack until enough mutalisks were spawned to handle this, but I’m not a wiser man. An even wiser man would have more than enough overlords, but I am not an even wiser man. I’m just a man who gets spanked in SC2. At least Picross 3D doesn’t make me feel like a loser.
Before I go, I have a couple of pictures!
We were rusty, but upon seeing this, my brother and I realized we were ready to play the DLC.
My brother was quite proud of this, and I was impressed. Yes, that’s a can of nuts inside a former container of nuts. Xzibit would be proud. And now we’re done.
