"Guitar And Video Games" 2004-03-21 - 5:48 a.m. older - previous - next - profile - host - my band - my lj interesting day I got to hang out with basically all my friends today went and hung out with Stephanie, Evan, and Robyn we didn't do much but play Final Fantasy 7 oh well then I left for a while to go see Ruben see; a friend of his at work is friends with a band, and they needed a place to throw a show/surprise birthday party for one of their friends so Ruben let them use the warehouse our practice room is in and he invited me so I drove all the way down there; and was pretty unimpressed they sounded a lot like Sublime meh I left early by the time I got back to Stephanie's it was pretty late; and she was about to go to sleep so I had to leave I should've just stayed there after that I hung out with Robyn for a bit; and we yelled Chapelle's Show/Family Guy quotes at eachother as usual I really need to stop watching Chapelle's Show though, before I slip and call somebody 'nigga' and get my ass kicked it's already got me ending all my sentences with 'bitch' so I should be careful but I have to say, as far as Robyn and I goes; the whole Croc vs. Shark thing has made this the Golden Age of Immaturity for us it's wonderful we do stupid things like end phone calls with "CROC IS GONNA WIN!" and hanging up really quick and whenever there's a lull in the conversation we just start arguing with eachother about which one is going to win and a multitude of other immature, idiotic things that are hilarious I'm going to be really sad when it ends other than that I've spent a lot of time playing Tony Hawk's Underground I'm currently trying desperately hard to find the hidden level in Moscow see; they included levels from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 in the game; but you have to find little icons hidden in certain levels to unlock them I've found 2 out of 3 but the Moscow one is stumping the crap out of me I've ran around every surface you can walk/grind on where they could possibly put the icon and it's just not there it's pissing me off but if you know where it is; don't tell me I want to find it on my own but I am accepting hints anyway, I'm really, really looking forward to the Goldeneye 2 videogame Goldeneye was one of the best first-person-shooters for N64 and included a lot of revolutionary features and now there's talk of a new one being made for PS2 it's too early for anything really technical; but the storyline is what's got me hooked see; the original was based on the movie of the same name but the sequel features this weird storyline that has nothing to do with the Bond universe of books/movies/games in any way rather than playing as James Bond; apparently you play as "an aspiring 00-agent" who quits or is fired or... something and then goes to work for Goldfinger(the villain from that Bond movie) he gives you a golden eye that can be upgraded with all kinds of nifty features and you combat the forces of Goldfinger's arch-nemesis Dr. No(again, the villain from his self-titled movie) now, Goldfinger and Dr. No both died at the ends of their movies; and had no interaction with eachother and apparently the game contains a bunch of other villainous characters that had no connection to the two, and also died in their respective movies so that's why it's intriguing but for some reason the prospect of playing a villainous rogue agent has just enchanted me even if you probably do just get iced by James Bond at the end of the game the only other time I can think of that I've been this excited for a game was when Silent Hill 3 was coming out and I'm not even this excited for Silent Hill 4 admittedly; I only heard those details of the game about 2 days ago but for those 2 days, I've been thinking about it almost constantly I don't know why but on to more serious things; I haven't heard back from that asshole potential drummer who stood us up yesterday but another guy e-mailed Ruben today; and he's going to meet us tomorrow he said he shares a lot of influences with us, so again my hopes are unrealistically high the thing is my cousin's having a birthday party tomorrow and I didn't find out 'til this morning[his actual birthday isn't until tuesday] so Ruben set up the meeting for 7 before I knew what was going on and my cousin's birthday party is at 6:30 so I'm not going to be able to meet the drummer until 8:30 so I won't know what's going on until I get there it's a little worrisome I don't know speaking of music, I wrote another song today got over my "creative slump" I guess I'm pretty proud of the lyrics so I'm going to post them the music is quite a bit darker than they are; but whatever, I'm still proud of them, it's called "Laugh Riot": Johnny heard the Sex Pistols and knew what he had to do he bought a leather jacket and he dyed all his hair blue he started up a punk band to make everyone see he would start a riot like he saw on MTV it's a laugh riot, come on down all the little punks are taking the town it's a laugh riot, come on out all the little punks will scream and shout it's a laugh riot, on the scene so they can tell the world just what "punk" means it's a laugh riot, come and see MTV-brand anarchy Johnny pierced his nipples, his ears, and his nose Johnny bought all new punk Hot Topic clothes he's gonna show the world that he will not conform in his stylish, all new "true punk" uniform it's a laugh riot, come on down all the little punks are taking the town it's a laugh riot, come on out all the little punks will scream and shout it's a laugh riot, on the scene so they can tell the world just what "punk" means it's a laugh riot, come and see MTV-brand anarchy purple hair and ripped up jeans spikes and chains and nipple rings studded collars, safety pins patched up jackets, Doc Martins buy all these so you can be a harbinger of anarchy convictions are irrelevant all you need is fashion sense it's a laugh riot, come on down all the little punks are taking the town it's a laugh riot, come on out all the little punks will scream and shout it's a laugh riot, on the scene so they can tell the world just what "punk" means it's a laugh riot, come and see MTV-brand anarchy -Laugh Riot The Remaining I'm probably going to end up tweaking a few lines [I actually edited this entry to tweak it already] but I'm confident in this one what do you think? I'm sure I'll have something interesting to say tomorrow... Sweet Dreams � � |
