I'm a slayer, ask me how.

coco_waters asked Do you have a favourite fictional character from literature? What about this particular character makes them stand out to you? -- I’ve always had a crush on Ford Prefect from HHGTTG. Even before I saw the BBC Miniseries, I found his whole attitude for attractive. He’s a good guy, he just tends to be operating on a different level than everyone around him, sometimes he freaks out about the most random stuff and other times he is so perfectly calm when danger is all around. If I was going to be abducted by an alien, I'd want it to be Ford.

faeriesfolly asked Favorite Video Game -- I'm going to have to go with either Bioshock or Bioshock Infinite. Both of those games are so beautiful, they have amazing stories, but they also have some challening gameplay. Bioshock pretty much taught me how to play an FPS on the new consoles because the story was so good I did not want to stop playing so I made myself learn. But Bioshock Infinite was just so well done, the whole look and feel, the story, and how it all fits into the mythology. Confession: I was so depressed after I finished Infinite, I bought myself a little Elizabeth action figure to love and squeeze because I didn't want to be without her.



coco_waters asked Where did you last go on holiday? BOSTON! And MAINE! and New Hampshire LOL! But you already knew about that, didn’t you? My whirlwind week in New England. I’ve never been good at sitting still so most of my vacations are actually adventures. We ate a lot of food, probably walked at least 5 miles a day in Boston, binged on video game madness on Friday, drove up to Maine and hung with my crazy aunt and uncles and grandpa for the day, then went to New Hampshire to see my BFF and visit "America's Stonehenge" (only go to American's Stonehenge if you get a deal off of Amazon Local...it's not really worth it otherwise. In fact, it's mighty sketchy! But we had fun being loud and cheap).

pleasant_valley asked If you could travel anywhere in time where would it be and what would you like to bring back? Don't you mean anyWHEN? And bring something back? No wait, I've read that short story where they step on the butterfly in the past and when they come back to the future, the entire world has changed! I would touch NOTHING! ...honestly though, I'm not sure if there is any time period I would want to experience that way unless I had The Doctor to make sure I didn't end up dead. It might be fun to go back in time and see The Beatles perform live at The Cavern.

coco_waters asked Favourite season/time of year? Spring, on the cusp of Summer. Nice warm weather. I hate wearing shoes and socks so I love sandal weather but still cool enough to have the windows open and do outside activities. I'm also very fond on the Summer-about-to-be-Fall time of year too.

rogueslayer452 asked What is your favorite song at the moment? Probably something by Bastille from the Bad Blood album, which lostacanthus got me for my birthday. Heavy Weight of Living tends to get stuck in my head a lot after listening to that album. And the opening track Things We Lost in the Fire:



I also love that Ain't It Fun by Paramore is getting so much airplay. I adore that band...well, mostly Hailey...and it makes me happy to hear it on the radio.

So this is how the story goes:

When I was little, my parents took me to see E.T. in the theater. I liked the movie, but like any child, I was very upset to see E.T. leave. My mom tells me I left the theater with tears in my eyes, telling her that E.T. could have lived with us. At some point, maybe later that day or later in the week, I was given my very own E.T. plush to love and squeeze and take care of.

A few years ago when E.T. celebrated it's 20th Anniversary and Universal released a whole new set of toys, my parents got me the life-size doll in this photo.

And this year, I played Bioshock:Infinite. I adored the game and especially "my" relationship with Elizabeth. As the credits rolled, all I could think was how much I was going to miss her, that I didn't want it to be over, that maybe there were more adventures to be had.

So last week, in a moment of retail therapy, I stumbled across the Hot Topic 25% off sale and there was the Elizabeth action figure, just calling to me. I had to have her!

Now Elizabeth and E.T. can live here in my apartment of misfit toys and continue having adventures here...

and they will. :-)

28 Days Later: BioShock Infinite Delayed | Rock, Paper, Shotgun

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! IT'S THE ONE GAME I am anxiously awaiting and it has been delayed SO MANY TIMES!!!!!!!!

Now they are making me nervous.

They are saying it's due to bug fuxes, but apparently there are a LOT of games coming out in Feb 2013...wonder if they just wanted to bump it to March for better sales.

FRAK I wanted this game for my birthday!!!!!

DAMMIT IRRATIONAL!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I had the day off today because of the icy/snowy conditions. YES I SET MY ALARM FOR 7:30AM ANYWAY!!!! We went over to Target at 8am, RIGHT when they opened (but not before I slipped on the ice and landed right on my butt - BUT THAT DID NOT STOP ME!!!!!!!!!!!) We got there and I hussled over to the video game section, trying not to get too excited in case they didn't have it in stock - BUT THEY DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I have it in my hands!!!! I AM PLAYING IT NOW!

WE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE STOPPED AT STARBUCKS ON THE WAY OUT...and the guy was having trouble with the machine so he gave us 3 ESPRESSO SHOTS in our coffee to say Thanks for waiting WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, ME2 will be on break for a bit while I play this biznitch. I'm even gonna kick it up to HARD mode.
