untitled no.1

Greetings and salivations. Unfortunately I have not been updating this blog, time and creativity have taken a huge drain. Pathetic I know. However you can visit pileofshit.blogdrive.com where I do post albeit unfrequently. Some of my more recent postings can be viewed there.

Why has my imagination run dry? Without anything actually interesting, or funny or of substance to type about I am hopeless. I mean, what is this post even about? And when did i have any substance in the first place? Maybe it's cause my finals are starting tomorrow that I am writing now. Yeah, I love wasting my time instead of studying. At least I'm not idling around right?

So I recently reinstalled GTA : VC on my com and played it all over again. This time, I went for a 100% completion for the game. And it was going all fine and dandy until I came to the unique jumps bit.( I will assume that you all will know what I am talking about because you are all computer geeks like me and have played a wide array of games since you somehow managed to reach my blog no matter how cleverly hidden it is) . So I needed to complete 36 unique jumps to achieve my 100% rate, and I just can't finish all of them. Yes, I stupidly did not write down which jumps I had already completed and since the game programmers were equally stupid in not programming some sort of checklist into the game itself, I could not finish the jumps. I have been stuck at 34 jumps for over two weeks, and no matter how many maps and hints I refer to on the internet I cannot figure out what to do. I have tried going through all the jumps, multiple times, and I still can't finish it. My patience has definitely gone beyond its limit and into unknown territory. EUREKA! I figured out how real life acts of violence (i.e. teenage kids going on shooting sprees and shit.) are connected to violent games like GTA as is usually reported in the news media. Its not the inherent violence in the game thats causing it, but the frustration that the game brings about in the player. (I do feel like shooting people. The game programmers in particular.) Come on if the cause was the violence in the game then when I play something like katamari I should feel like rolling myself into a ball and rolling around glue-ing stuff onto myself. Or how about frogger, I don't have the incessant urge to cross a busy road and get rammed over by a car. (I love parantheses, this one serves no purpose, but you will read it anyways :))

No humour in this post and its time for me to hit the sack so that I won't be too sleepy for my exam tomorrow. Goodnight cruel world.
