BANNED!

Thu Nov 12, 2009, 5:49 AM
Well folks, as you've probably heard online or read in the papers recently, Microsoft revealed it's master plan to BANHAMMA all those peeps using chipped or hacked xbox's which could play copied games.

... And I was one of them.

Yes, it's almost shameful to admit, but I did indeed own a chipped xbox, even though I barely had ANY copied games for it. Seriously. The one copied game I did have didn't even WORK, and furthermore, buying the damn thing wasn't even my idea. I wanted to get a real, WORKING one (since even after I got this xbox, I had to literally PUNCH IT REPEATEDLY to get it to read disks).

But yeah, I'm banhammered from online goodness. But, whatev's to be honest. I play my xbox for single player games, my true multiplayer heart lies, and will always lie, in the PC. The PC just... is better for multiplayer. It really is. In my opinion it takes more skill, has FAR superior connection/support, better communities (by MILES) and mods. MODS MAKE EVERYTHING AWESOME.

But it also helps I've been playing Freelancer and Silent Hill 3.

Silent Hill 3 is... AWESOME. Well, perhaps not AWESOME, but certainly good. The horror works really well and it still looks pretty nice for an old PS2 game. The camera works surprisingly well.
The only thing that bugs me is A: If you miss a map, you're screwed for finding your way around and B: This is really a fan's game. I don't know HALF the shit that's going on in this game and sometimes these people make really dumb decisions.
E.G. Heather (main character) gets transported into a demon world whilst in the mall. She only just gets out and is standing in front of the exit to the mall. What does she do? HERP DE DERP I'LL GO UNDERGROUND INTO THE SUBWAY SYSTEM AND NOT OUT INTO THE STREET WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE.

Seriously. Dumb.

Anyway, I'm going to try and finish Escape and Kiv Story pt 2 together and post em up at the same time. ALMOST DONE WITH EM FOLKS (and I know I say this alot, but seriously, I really am inches from finishing with em).

Till next time kids.

Updates.

Fri Nov 6, 2009, 8:10 AM
Taking a break from doing coursework today to update on my life. Yeah, been doing lots of coursework this week, but gladly, I also have this week off from uni so I can work on it a lot.
Good for me then that I've almost finished everything! YAY! I'm taking a break to read more of a book I gotta read.

The Tenant of Wildlife Hall.
Let me tell you, THIS BOOK IS BULLSHIT. Total. Utter. Crap.

... Okay, maybe that's a little harsh. The book has some really awesome lines, and makes some good points on women in the Victorian ages, but GODDAMMIT it takes a while to get there. There's so much frivolous CRAP in it I can barely slog through with a chainsaw in hand.

Also, I got a PS2 lately, FOR FREEE, and decided to buy Silent Hill 3. Can't wait to get it playan. Also, any good games to play on it? Suggestions welcome people!

Also, got Condemned and WOW is it scary. Seriously, this is one terrifying game, although I'm disappointed that it uses xbox graphics on a 360.

Whatever though, it's all good on my side. CHILL HOMIES, LATERS!

I have to get up at 7 in the morning now so I can get to uni on time for a lesson that is essentially useless, so much so EVEN THE TEACHER TOLD US HOW MUCH HE HATES TEACHING IT.

Uuuuuuuuuuuugh.

Still, stuff is better now, no more scriptwriting and no coursework to do right now =D FUN.

So I've decided to show you one or two of my POEMS. Yes, I do poems now. Mostly in my little notebook but yeah.
These are called 'imagist' poems, invented by a dude called Ezra Pound. Don't look him up, he was a polish fascist. Yeah, poets are a crazy bunch of mothers.

Don't steal my poems yo.
I'll strike you down like Kane in kung-fu,
Swift and justified punishment!


HELL YEAH. Ok that wasn't imagist, but it was fun.

Here's a real poem.
The owl stalks the mouse,
Like a dark arrow in the night, none see the silent taking of life.


Not that great, but I like it. PLUS IT'S ABOUT FUCKING OWLS AND ARROWS, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH DRAMA WENT BEHIND THOSE TWO WORDS.

Ahem.

Anyways, yes, gonna do some homework then FINISH SOME FO SHIZZLE! Mostly Kiv story, needs to be done yo.

Till then kids, PEACE OUT.

Life and the top 5 things people have left at work

Journal Entry: Mon Oct 12, 2009, 7:07 AM


Well, poetry class is actually going well. Ridiculously well. I'm actually DAMN GOOD at it, which surprises me.
Yeah, our tutor, a published poet and writer told me today that my haiku's were 'excellent'. FUUUUCK YEEEAAAAH BITCHES!
I may upload the best 5 of them later.

Anyway, my creative juices are flowing again thanks to weekly creative stuff and I am back in the writing saddle kids!
Yes, I have been working again on Kiv story and all that, YAY FOR ME. Also Escape is gonna be finished super soon.

Anyways, yes, now moving to the special headline of today.

SIDEOS' TOP FIVE THINGS PEOPLE HAVE LEFT BEHIND AT MY WORK
I work in a bar, servin' pints and all that. Of course, people get drunk, and when you're drunk you tend to leave things behind. Here is the top 5 things people have left behind, going from 5 to 1.

5: Shoes. This is more common then one might think, people seem to leave shoes behind all the time, ESPECIALLY the ladies.
4: A necklace. Again, kinda common. For some reason woman take them off, walk away and completely forget they had them on!
3: Jackets/coats. This isn't common, but does happen on occasion. How people can forget their coats is beyond me, especially when they have things like wallets and phones in them.
2: Birthday presents. This has only happened twice whilst I've been working there. One was a signed picture from a wrestler, which we now display on the bar, and the other was a toaster I think. Why the people who they belonged to never came back for them I don't know, but seriously, how could you forget a toaster?!
1: A baby. No I'm not making this up, a woman once actually left her kid behind. She came back for it 10 mins later, but it was still really shocking. I mean seriously, she was super drunk and she just walked out without her baby. HOW BAD OF A MOTHER CAN YOU BE?!

Anyway, that rounds that up.

Can't wait for Bloodsports, I wanna get to writing it!

So yes, cya all on the flip side kids.

The IZ Fandom: My Opinion.

Journal Entry: Sun Sep 27, 2009, 8:42 AM


There's a lot of talk going around about how the IZ fandom is apparently dying off. People point to the elitism of popular IZ artists and the masses of drama as the cancers gnawing away at our love of that one show that aired for only a season and a half almost 9 years ago.
But you know what? I think that's utter bullshit.
People don't lose interest in a fandom because the popular people don't like mixing with the peons, hell, I'll stand up and say I don't accept every friend request sent my way. However, yes, it is creating a sort of stand-offish attitude towards those just wishing to get to know more and grow more as artists in the fandom.
The drama however, well, that's a different matter altogether. Drama happens wherever you go, it doesn't matter which fandom you go to, there will be drama involved. However, I will say that I do think the IZ fandom has a slightly higher-then-normal drama rating. Why I couldn't really tell, perhaps its just us as fans who can't seem to get along.
Still, in all honesty, I don't think, despite these flaws, that our fandom is dying. Growing? No, we're not growing, but we're not dying, and if we are it's a very, very slow death compared to other shows. IZ fans are remarkably fanatic about their fandom, I know I am, I would never leave this fandom unless something truly terrible happened to it.
We cling on and keep alive the show through fanart and especially fanworks. I know I haven't wrote anything to do directly with the show for a long time, rather, just taking the universe and species and using them for myself. But this practice is so popular, that surely such an act shows how truly dedicated we are as fans, to keep using and exploring the possibilities of the world IZ almost created for us.

Bah, those are my thoughts anyway.

Oh, and just some random info now. I realised that I never did explain why Sideos was afraid of ghosts, well, here's the reason!
As a little smeety kid he would often be kept awake at night by the sounds of his parents fighting, however, being too small to really understand this, he asked his father why lots of shouting went on at night downstairs. His father told him that it was ghosts, and that little Sid should never go downstairs at night or the ghosts would eat him.
So, Sid become deathly scared of ghosts due to this poor psychological blow at an early age.

Anyways, that's all from me for now. I'm almost done with Escape and still working on Kiv story.
CHILLAX YO.
