No worries! I discovered that our copy of Half-life 2 actually works on our replacement X-box (yes, I own and play the X-box, and confess this sin every day to my PS2. It forgives me) and spent a happy few hours engaged in therapeutic destruction, as the Soothing British Voice informed me that my 'Anticitizen status' had been approved. I think that's Combinespeak for "We're sending in the robots. Seriously, Freeman, you're boned."
Apparently when my sister went on it, they got to the top, and the dude beside her said, "Hey! That guy's double-parked!" allowing them moments of confused rather than terrified silence before they dropped. Hee. I will email them and ask for the photos. Oooh, your robot thing reminds me of a book I saw that was a detailed and straight-faced guide to what to do in the event of a robot uprising. It even had a section for identifying robots pretending to be human. That book is completely on my Christmas list. (So did my friend, actually! Wore a tux, I mean. She looked awesome and had a cane. Now all we need is a dude to turn up in a dress and it would have been the best dance ever. It was pretty cool; they gave us roses at the door and did up the hall real nice. Gah, rap music. If they're going to talk to the beat, could they at least talk about something that isn't themselves, their ho's, or their car? Or at least do it vaguely poetically? ...Now I totally want to hear Shakespearian rap.)
Man, imagine a paperwork game. "PRESS X TO SIGN. PRESS CIRCLE TO ADD PHOTO. DOUBLE-TAP TRIANGLE TO TICK THE YES BOX. BLOCK LETTER BONUS!!!" The QCS is short for Queensland Core Skills. It's the Big Test we have to do so the government can tell if we know how to read and multiply numbers. You're not meant to study for it - my practice one had a section on juggling. Silent Hill 3 had a bunch of references to SH2, actually. At one point you're talking to this detective guy who mentions a missing persons case in Silent Hill; he says he "never did find him." I know for a fact there is at least one in SH4. Poor James. Poor Mary. Also, GAH MARIA. I open a door and walk in and ARRGH oh it’s you how are you in here already?
(WOULDN'T IT. I have gone to Church nearly every Sunday of my life and we never had anything that entertaining. Jesus was an awesome guy – I'm sure he would approve of himself being presented that way.)
I'm just tossing the fandoms your way, aren't I? And, ooh, subtext. Hmm. Well, Tulio is very careful to keep Miguel away from Chel, citing his reasons as he's afraid it'll distract him (which, uh, isn't all that hard to believe – blond-d00d has the attention span of a gnat sometimes) but when he gets involved with her himself, he says something to the effect of "Forget Miguel" and it could be misunderstood as him saying that he wants to leave Miguel behind in the city when he leaves. Miguel gets really, really upset when he overhears this. Later both Miguel and Tulio essentially give up everything they have ever wanted ever just so they could stay friends and keep adventuring together, and even when they're mad at each other they work together really well. They're both big dreamers and bad planners (Chel's a bit more practical and less inclined to sudden attacks of "DUUHUH") and they both react exactly the same way to their fight: like twelve-year-olds. Also, they have a secret handshake. And hug, I think. It's both a completely adorable platonic friendship and the slashiest movie ever. (GO PIXAR GO. Also enough with the 3D movies already – it's getting old.)
Knock knock. "Excuse me, do you have a copy of Thief?" *slam* Knock knock. "Excuse, I was wondering if you have a copy of a video game created by Ion St-" *slam* Oooh! Maybe you could pull a Garrett, sneak into their house, knock them out and steal the game?
...I have just received a spam email from "Jaxon Jackson." I don't think they're trying any more. And another one with the subject "About the Thanksgiving pie you want to eat". Is that meant to be a euphemism? I can't tell with you people. Also, MY DAD IS TOTALLY LIKE THAT. Even though I use it approximately three times a year and the credit vanishes after a month. Those things are like throwing money into a hole in the ground.
