Ooh, spooky.

Hmmm, I make be entering the kingdom of Retardia Spasticia here but I blame it all on this thread. Yeah, I'm checking out spooky paranormal shit on the internet now. Go me. As opposed to what I should be doing. Which is making jello.



Is it just me or does the hooded figure look... phallic? I mean, who, seeing something like that goes: 'OMG, a hooded dude the likes of which we never see in everyday life and therefore readily associate with random shadoy figures'? Wouldn't it make much more sense to go: 'Holy crap. A giant thing as commonly found in some guys pants.'


Issues? Yes, muchly. Terrified for A Level results?

Damn straight.


On a side note, I love the satisfying 'crunch' of bone and cartilidge breaking when you beatdown an opponent in Halo3. Much better than the metallic sound you'd get which would be more relistic considering you're supposed to be hitting metal.

of headshots and things...

Well, I finally did it. I finally got off my ass, connected my 360 up and signed up with XBox Live. So yes, I'm now playing Halo online! Happiness. :)

Interestingly enough, people seem to be able to tell I'm a girl... And before you even do the whole 'duh, you're voice ain't manly' thing, there's a bajillion pre-pubesecent annoying, foul-mouthed, immature, stupid, noisy boys on XBox Live too. What is wrong with them?!?! Is there some kind of requirement that if you're a gamer under 14 you have to be utterly retarded??

Which is why I try not to let on I'm a girl... Being humped by other players in co-op loses it's appeal to me somehow...


Someone helped me unlock a coupla skulls though. :) So yes, there are nice people out there... But what really wierds me out is I found myself speaking mandrin into my headset to a guy from Taiwan... -_-U
Sigh...


Anyhow, my gamertag's S7R4T4, read: strata, and with some luck I'll be able to get myself a decent rep or something.


I'll do another post some other time to bitch about the lag on swords...
