Damn, those Penny Arcade were right when they complained too many things come out in this part of the year. I'm sure its worse for them since they play multiple consoles and all I have to deal with is the PS2. But I've only just started MGS3 and PoP2 comes out today. I can't not get it, because I put $5 down since I had around $2 in leftover store credit and the system for some reason couldn't handle that. I shoulda waited on MGS3. That game is so damn complex. I already have to start over since I blew through my suppressor before the first area with guards hunting animals/shooting down fruit/shooting that frog thingie in every area that you have to shoot so you can get the stealth camo. I knew the suppressor wore out, I just didn't think it was that quickly, I should have removed it in the first two areas anyways since there's no guards around to hear the gun report. That, and I wasted grenades trying to blow up the crocs for food. But hunting? Equipment management? Field surgery? I already have enough on my hands just trying to sneak around and kill things!

Of course, I woulda been farther in the game had I not been K-rev 3ing it. Ha, I think I mentioned in a previous post that one of the hidden songs is the "Snake-Eater" theme song from MGS3. Its an amusing song, very James Bondy. But I didn't realize the other hidden song, "Waiting for You" was from Silent Hill 4 (another Konami game) I was suspicious it wasn't a normal song, though it sounded like your typical chick-guitar ballad-y kinda music. It hit me as I was singing and saw that the lyrics would be apt for someone trapped and needing someone to rescue them, which made me think of Silent Hill, which I then realized was also a Konami game, and then I remembered I had heard the song once before on a trailer for one of the Silent Hill games. I was actually trying to figure out what the song was back then. So now I know!

Now on to Tuesday night TV:

Kinda weird they made that Buffy reference with Spike and Dru. And okay, the thing Logan did in the class was slightly amusing. Of course, I always thought fake proposing in public places or in a fancy restaurant (to like a female friend, not your actual fiancee, because then that would be kinda assy) would be a funny thing to do. And Rory still doesn't realize that guy's into her. And she prolly will end up with that rich asshole. But kudos to Marty for having a spine and not wanting to hear her prattle on about Logan, especially after she was all "we're just friends nothing more," and being all obvious that she has no interest in him when they were in the bar with Anna (wait, was that the girl's name?) I also guess Lorelai is incredibly self absorbed, so maybe she wouldn't know about Luke's dark day even after more than a decade. And Paris went to Chilton too. And wasn't she #2? So why wasn't the headmaster all, "why don't youse" instead of just Rory host the chick, especially since they're roomies. Then again, Paris is pretty scary, so I can see him not wanting to deal with her.

Thought Scrubs was gonna be on tonight, so opted not to check out House since we wouldn't be able to finish it. So we caught the Amazing Race instead. Decided to see what the hub bub was all about. Those first few tasks, it didn't seem it mattered how quickly they finished. They ended up going to places that were close for a few hours anyways! And the girl and her dad were lost for hours and they still ended up ahead of others by rocking on the shotglass sliding task. And that one guy called it "ikey-a" What, he's never heard of Ikea?! What rock is he living under?

Maybe its because I like building things, but once they saw the tasks, I think the building would be infinitely easier. First of all, there was a couple of thousand things to count, which is a lot when you get down to it. And even if you're not mechanically inclined, the thing with the building the desk is, if you're did it wrong, you know it. If you miscount, you'll have to start all over again, and prolly have no clue why you were off. The ending sucked though. Those sisters sure were unlucky. I mean, that chick did most of the work! The old people and the rasslers had less to unfurl and thus a higher chance of finding something. Total BS! And why did they make her unbale hay for another two hours if they were already eliminated?! Thanx, pricky show guy!

Also caught SVU. I guess I already got the answer to it on gtg, but when did Stabler get divorced?! Or I guess maybe they're just separated. And why hasn't he tried to nail Casey yet? She can look pretty good, especially when she's doing the skirt/boot combo (HOTT!). And you could always cut the sexual tension between those two with a knife. ojv('Man, its obvious!')

That cuts on Keith Mars' face were so distracting. Especially since they passed it off as resulting from some household accident. You're like, did he fight someone and he's keeping it on the down low? I guess he prolly got into an accident or something irl and they just wrote it in to the ep as resulting from an accident on the show. And who tells their father not to blow his wad? I guess she meant wad of cash, but it still sounds dirty! But her throwing up at the thought that she and Duncan may be brother and sister? ha!!

But man, were those supposed cultists corny-ass. They seem nice enough. Of course, as clevemire said to me on the ride to work, if somethings hinky, they prolly won't find out in like three days! These cults prolly spend way longer than that trying to gain your trust before they reveal their dirty secrets. Oh, but Veronica's got skillz. The finding out who took the pics was pretty neat. And she was slick about getting the blood sample from her dad.

Couldn't sleep, so I caught the end of the LA showing of OTH. Okay, I remember that one guy from before I stopped watching. But who are these other people? And Peyton is a druggie?! So she actual did do those lines with that guy in that ep? And who's this Anna girl? And wait, so when Lucas told her there's someone else, I thought he meant Peyton. But he showed up at Brooke's in the end! And Karen is only now finding out Keith and Deb did it? And who's this chick he's now professing his love for? And apparently she's a henchman of Dan? And when did he turn back into an asshole? And why was Jake back, and how the hell did he know where to find Peyton? And I can't believe Hayley might go to NY with that guy! She's married. Though I guess if they were gonna have anyone screw up that marriage, they would make it her, as Nathan would be too obvious.

I'd just like to point out that I did not use, and to my knowledge never have used, the word "hinky."

[geebs.livejournal.com]

I wasn't implying you literally said "hinky", I was ad-libbing. And what's wrong with hinky? Its like weird, but in a suspicious way. Something that's off-kilter.

I suppose there's nothing wrong with it, it's just not a word I'd ever use.
