updates and you

Been a few weeks since I updated. So what's new... I owe the hospital $14k, they were nice enough to cut off $3k from the bill, I don't know why. It still feels like they held a knife to me and said "fourteen thousand dollars or you're dead", but whatever. I might sound like a socialist weasel, but I think there are some things the government should help you pay for regardless of whether or not you're insured, like medical emergencies that could be fatal if not attended to (i.e. exploding appendixes). But I'm not really letting that bother me all that much, I'm realizing that people have been in much worse financial situations than me, and lots of those people brought it upon themselves.

I turned in an application at TCC, but I haven't actually enrolled yet. I still want to live in norman with my friends, and go to OU instead of TCC, but it will be much harder for me to do.

I fixed my bittorrent and now it downloads like it's supposed to. I got Fallout Tactics, Age of Empires 3, Black and White 2, Final Fantasy Advent Children, and the Naruto movie, in the past two days.

Let me say something about Advent Children. A lot of people are going to hate me for this, but Square should stick to making games. Cheesy storylines are much more acceptable in games, because you at least have some control over what's happening. Advent Children seemed like a big gimmick to me, very pretty special effects, lots of cool fights, lots of cameos from Final Fantasy VII characters, and a really lame story. I thought it was really cool how Sephiroth was in the movie for like three minutes, while all of the advertisements show him like he's a main character or something. I also like how Square could have spent this time making an actual sequel or remake of FFVII but instead just made a bunch of cutscenes linked together by weak story. Fuck you square, NM camping sucks. I liked the Naruto movie a lot more, but the series is better than the movie.

I can't really say much about Fallout Tactics, AoE3, or Black and white 2, I've been spending all of my game time playing WoW on my rogue, which is a really fun class to play. Very action oriented, and hordes run away whenever they see me go into stealth.

What else... I've been listening to Darkest Hour a lot, munkie got to go to their show but got kicked out for kicking a security guard in the head. So remember kids, don't kick security guards in the head because they tend to not like it much.

oh... I got a demo of a PS2 game in the mail today, called "Shadow of the Colossus", and I think it's a really badass game. There's a huge world to explore, and in the demo there is a huge giant that you have to kill, basically by climbing up on him and stabbing him a lot. It's a really unique type of game for a PS2 game, it's something more like I would expect on PC, because it has such a huge world to run around in. It's kind of like what the new Zelda games should be like.
