Random stories 2
I stayed out way too late last night. I think I went to bed around four. Gaming, good times, and Mountain Dew can do that do a guy. It was well worth it.
Decided to go to the library today thinking: I'm going to get a novel and start reading it. I pull up to the door. They were closed. So I bought a cheeseburger for breakfast, drove home and watched Invasion of the body snatchers instead. A creepy film for a creepy day.
Treehouse of Horror XVIII
It's that time of year again....another Simpsons Treehouse of Horror is upon us. The 18th one to be exact. Here's a breakdown of this year's episode:
Mr. and Mrs. Simpson - Homer secretly lives a double life as a secret agent and is assigned to eliminate Kent Brockman, discovering that Marge is also an agent with the same mission.
E.T. Go Home - Bart and Lisa find Kodos, who is hiding from the government, and help him obtain devices that he can use to contact his home planet, but Kodos's intentions prove to be less than friendly.
Heck House - Bart, Lisa and some other kids pull pranks on Halloween night and, after they go too far, Ned Flanders turns the church into a Hell house. Gaining supernatural powers from God, he subjects the kids to his wrath.
"Will it be better than last years?" is the first question that pops into my head. Being a hardcore Simpsons fan, I've actually watched less and less of the show as its gone on. Yet, I've always come back for the T.H.R. episodes- (despite each year they seem to have less and less to do with Halloween). I've stupidly taped over each epsiode as my original plan was to have ALL of them available for my viewing pleasure. Sadly, Fox hasn't made any plans to release a DVD of just the Halloween episodes in order. It would sell like hotcakes! For now, I'm stuck catching it on YouTube or the few seasons of Simpsons I own on DVD....Rats.
I was also going to list my favorite Treehouse of Horror episodes until I realize they've made so many- with three stories per episode......that's 54 episodes to sift through. So I just list a few. The Monkey's Paw, Clown without Pity, The Devil and Homer Simpson, The Thing and I, and Send in the Clones. Great stuff.
Mr. Peanut gets a lobotomy
Went grocery shopping today and couldn't pass up this jar of peanuts. It's Mr. Peanut! Just twist off his top hat/skull and dig into the crunchy goodness. Kinda creepy now that I put it like that. Oh well.
You say goodbye and I say Halo
Note: I've recently bought an Xbox 360 as well as Halo 3...
In the words of Fraiser Crane: "Good God!"
Halo 3 is gaming perfection. The amount of detail and sheer options made for this game is astounding. Halo 3 gives you the ability to rewatch an entire session of gaming and control it like a DVD. Rewind, fast-forward, take screenshots, and even record film clips if you so chose from any angle. This makes the game that much more enjoyable- rather than just trying to defeat your opponent, you now do it for bragging rights with physical evidence to humilate them over and over again.
Gameplay is slick too. Various weapons at your disposable, unique maps and vehicles keep me coming back for more. I've even made a Halo playlist for during our multiplayer sessions called Halo 3: Music to Frag By.
Songs include: One way or Another- Blondie, Rip it Up-Jet, Keep yourself Alive-Queen, Special Delivery-Offspring, Why Can't we be friends-Smashmouth, and several others. I think I'm up to 25 songs currently with more on the way.
I've also started compiling songs for Dead Rising. Thriller, Help!, and the theme from Beetlejuice. Actually several Beatles songs fit the whole survial horror theme.....Elenor Rigby, Hard Day's Night, Nowhere Man.
Not since the mix tape have I enjoyed custom playlists so much. Man, am I glad I bought a 360. PS2 R.I.P.
