Nope

Nothing to do. Nothing to say. Oh well. My life these next three weeks will be pretty meaningless unless I buy something to pass the time. Yeah, I'll do that, right after I listen to Tay Zonday singing the Skyrim theme again.

Getting back on the horse

So, I think I've now managed to earn back all the money I lost when me and NerdE had our little escapade in Yarmouth. I now like mowing the lawn even more, I used to hate it but now I find it quite relaxing. Yesterday me and Animamagica went to NerdE's house to style our wigs for Comic Con. I've discovered that even though me and NerdE spent exactly the same amount of money on our wigs, and even though the boxes are exactly the same, the only difference being the colour of the wigs, mine is of considerably poorer quality than his. You can see my hair underneath if you look at the back of my head. Might not seem like a problem (especially since I'll be wearing a hat), but then I have quite dark hair and the wig is blonde. So I need a bald cap now. Great. But on a completely unrelated plus side, I have realised something for my One Shots: the first one was a PS1 game...so I can do any game from any console. I know it's a series I created, so I should have really thought of that earlier, but better late than never. I'm thinking about doing a Sega arcade game. Yes, slightly influenced by the fact my brother bought a Sega arcade games book, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of Alex Kidd or Space Harrier, is there? Another update: the marks on my wrist that Tyrone gave me are still there, yesterday they went a bit blistery, they have done today as well. I think if they're there for another week I'll go to the doctor, but I think the red is starting to fade and they're definitely not as swollen so that's something, right? Anyway, I'm going to watch the rest of Britain's got more Talent, then have a Skyrim session, so bye for now.

HexaGONE!

Just finished recording, editing and saving One Shots Episode 2: Super Hexagon! Wow, that was fun. My videos that I've recorded ever since I started this blog have been a lot more enjoyable for me. Also, for this one I took a more professional approach. The introduction where I give a bit of history about the game in this episode was scripted, so I talk a lot more fluently and it all seems just nicer in general. I found out some interesting trivia about the game, and in the process managed to plug one of my videos in my own video :D What's more is I've found the Super Hexagon EP, which I'm seriously considering downloading, even though it only contains 3 songs and the total play time of it is less than 10 minutes, the music is really, really good. I could play Beat Hazard with Super Hexagon music!
The problem now is finding a game for the next One Shots. I have plenty of games, but I don't know which would be good for just one play through. I'll need to have another think. Next Walkthrough will be that Super Meat Boy that NerdE still hasn't uploaded yet. It's been about 2 weeks. What's wrong with him?

Learning is fun

Just had a Maths exam, well, I use the term 'just' quite loosely, I actually had it 5 hours ago...WHAT!? Has the time really gone by THAT quickly? Wow...wow...wow...makes you think, doesn't it? I've only got 2 more hours here then I'm done...year one of college...finished...Well, I've got one more exam next Friday, but we have study leave on Monday. The whole first year done...in 2 hours. We come back on June 10th, then we start our second year work. So, to reiterate, the title of this post should be 'Learning WAS fun'. 2 hours...what should I do to celebrate? I've already spent some time with a friend who I haven't really talked to a lot this year, Elfman. He's gone home so I think I'll go to the canteen to see some of my other friends. Wow, 2 hours...GASP! I won't be seeing Ruse King next year! He's not staying for another year! I need to say goodbye to him...AND Meridian! She might be going to New Zealand next year. Oh, God! All these people leaving me! My life ever since year 4 has been cursed with some of my closest friends leaving so soon! This isn't a great place to be in mentally right now, seeing as I've got a lot...A LOT of Game Design work to do that I'm coming in on Monday to finish.

Well, let me be the first to say, it's been a good run. I'm not leaving this blog, oh no, I mean a good first year, I've met lots of new people, I've rekindled my friendship with some people. It's been good. I'll remember it as it was: good, successful, irreplaceable.

Help+

I downloaded Love+ just now, and yes, I also installed Hostile Waters, and there's a very interesting piece of trivia about the cinematics that I will definitely use in the episode I do of it. Anyway, I've played some Love+ but there are two problems: First the music, there is none, I get the death sound effects and jump pad sound effects, but there's no music, and I know there should be because the download included the soundtrack. Second, the visuals. I know it's in the style of REALLY old games, we're talking like Atari here, but it's really low resolution. This is the first time I'm asking someone to use the interactive comments, so please will someone answer my cry for help!

Oh God, I dunno...Happy Birthday!

Film Studies exam went well, don't really want to say too much either way, really. I need to do something else for the channel, after VVVVVV's done, I'm left with just Meat Boy and Bit.Trip (I'm not counting One Shots because I see it as a spin-off). So, I think I'm going to do Closure because that's a hoot and a half, and I'm thinking about Love+ as well, a cheapy game from my favourite online store. At some point I'll do Time Fcuk Chapter 2, that's a given, but I'll leave it for a bit because I've completed the main game. So, tonight I need to install Hostile Waters (I know, I haven't even done that yet), buy Love+ and play Closure. ONLY THEN can I go on Skype with my friends and play League.

Anyway, Happy Birthday, mum! I got her a card that says she's the 'best mummy in the world', I thought she'd find that................................................. I've just remembered I left the price sticker on it. Well, at least it wasn't one of those horribly cheap ones, it was 99p ($1.51). Yeah, it's all better, Sam, you can make up for it when you go to the garden centre with her at the weekend to buy her her gift. Yeah. Anyway, Sam, stop blogging you have Game Design work to do. But first I think I'll wait for NerdE to text me back with his location so I can say hi to him. I'm just sort of trying to type as much as I can now, without actually saying anything. Last night's dream was weird, I dreamed I broke my legs (I've actually had another dream where I broke my legs as well, but that was a massive futuristic tank thing's fault), and a woman fell from somewhere above me onto a pane of glass above me, and I saw her arms all bent and disfigured. That's all I can remember. Yeah, I have weird dreams, my dream journal was supposed to prove it, but in all the time I've written in it, I haven't had any truly weird dreams, like the one with the serial killer bus driver. That was horrible! I'm now terrified of the colour red.

Skrim!

So, Film Studies exam today. It's gonna be fun on the bun! Seriously, I think I'm gonna be fine, it's my maths exams coming up that I think the problems lie. So, last night I went on the Wii U and PS3 because I hadn't in a while and I'd forgotten how fun it was to mess up my dad's TV time with the TV remote option for the Wii U GamePad. Super Mario World is awesome on the GamePad! The controls are perfect! And I got it discounted because I owned it on the Wii Virtual Console! Yay! I've got to get Megaman at some point. Mega Man? How is it spelled? With or without the space? Oh well, Skyrim is epic. Although I didn't manage to do a lot, I started last night's play session in the Soul Cairn and I finished last night's play session in the Soul Cairn. I only played for about half an hour. I have no idea what I'm going to do tonight, more Skyrim probably, I know it's not that important but I like to have a plan, even if I'm not going to stick with it, like yesterday, yes I uploaded VVVVVV Part V, but I didn't play this Hostile Waters. Actually, apparently VVVVVV hasn't finished processing yet, I'll have to look at that when I get home. I knew I should have looked at it this morning!
