Gaming Girls

September 30, 2007

I was reading through the new Nintendo Power issue I got, and it contained an article that made me extreemely happy.  It was basically an article about girl gamers and how there’s a lot more out there than people think.  According to the article, 38% of gamers are female, and the amount of females ages 18+ who are gamers outnumber the amount of males ages 17- who are gamers.  It also says that the average adult female games 7.4 hours a week, while the average adult male plays only 7.6, a close margin.  Girls are catching up =D

I also finally got all the pieces of the skull sceptre, yay!  Looks nice with my Rune t xD


Rune T!

September 30, 2007

I’ve finally gotten full rune t, one of my desires ever since I first started Runescape nearly 3 years ago. Many thanks to Vaskor for the legs, Brian for the kite, and Drmsi for the plate!

Ahh it’s so purty xD

Now to get that freaking skull sceptre piece again and I’ll be happy.  Damn Catablepons…


It’s My Bdaay =D

September 29, 2007

15 yay!  I feel so old now even though I’m really not.  It seems like it was just a month ago that I was still 12 or 13 o_O.  Three more years until I’m legal!

I got FFVI for the GBA and I ordered the original Fire Emblem for GBA as presents.  Yea I know the GBA’s pretty much outdated and dead…but I still like it =D.  Brian and Drmsi got me a Rune T kite/plate on RS (Yay! Two more pieces to go until the full set) and Kevin gave me 71337 gp…lol.

Whee cake soon =O

Oh yea, how do you block people from commenting or viewing your blog again?


Zomg Halo 3

September 25, 2007

I’m actually pretty surprised at how much talk I heard about it today from people that I had no idea were gamers. My friend on the bus said he knew someone that got out of our school at 11AM to get the game and then came back. A guy from my programming class stayed in line until midnight to get it too. Wow… I want a 360 now just to play the amazingness of Halo 3.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvanJYOGlus <– A person on Shurtugal Chat gave me this link…I found it rather amusing.


Yes I’m awake at 5AM

September 24, 2007

…to study for a Biology, Geometry, and English test. Lovely! I should have studied yesterday but psch, who studies on the weekend o_O Instead I was playing Runescape all day. I made a skiller account and attempted to do the Knight’s Sword quest on it, which I shall never try to get the blurite ore from again with shrimps as my only food. Then Odyssey had an event which I went to at night.

*Yawn*


Jump Off A Cliff Please

Not you (unless you’re the person I’m posting this about – then feel free to do so).

Anyway, I was on Mugglenet Chat last night, and some person decided to come to a room that I’m a mod in to flood ASCII pictures and talk about rather inappropriate things, so I ban them as any sensible person would do. Then he pm’s me, asking why he got banned and whatnot. I answer him, saying that it was inappropriate and that he shouldn’t have been doing that in that certain room. He then questions my maturity and asks my age, saying that the things he said weren’t highly inappropriate and asks why people don’t talk about it in general. Just think kid, there may be some lackadaisical rooms, but there are some other rooms that don’t allow people to say things about dicks and pussies at their free will.

My comments in the following logs are in the brackets (not the timestamp, the other brackets).

[07:51:04pm] <Jamie> well i’m sorry if i’m not of age yet, but neither are most people on this chat
[07:51:13pm] <TiHKAL> heh
[07:51:33pm] <TiHKAL> why are you apologizing?
[07:51:45pm] <Jamie> i was being sarcastic >.<
[07:53:35pm] <TiHKAL> yeh i know.
[07:53:49pm] <TiHKAL> you have been using sarcasm as an excuse to treat me like i am stupid. [You are stupid you moron.]
[07:53:52pm] <TiHKAL> saying things like “like you…” [What? That makes sense how?]
[07:53:56pm] <TiHKAL> what am i like, how could you know? [An idiot, and I know because you won't accept the fact that I won't unban you]
[07:54:33pm] <TiHKAL> do you have unix skills? [I love how it went from bans to Unix. He probably just wanted to boast about something.]
[07:54:36pm] <TiHKAL> I think not.
[07:54:49pm] <TiHKAL> Bingo. [Yup, I was right.]
[07:54:52pm] <Jamie> and being techy has something to do with you being banned…how?
[07:54:56pm] <TiHKAL> Anyway, don’t use sarcasm, it doesn’t become you. [Anyway, don't tell lies, it doesn't become you.]

Well, that started a nice little fight. Apparently this kid is some Unix fanboy who doesn’t accept the fact that I don’t care much about Unix since I’m perfectly happy with my current OS. Apparently in his small little world, people can’t have their own opinion whatsoever and must accept the fact that Unix rules the world. All hail Unix.

[07:55:55pm] <TiHKAL> ok
[07:56:00pm] <TiHKAL> so…
[07:56:04pm] <TiHKAL> 1) you won’t unban me
[07:56:08pm] <TiHKAL> 2) you don’t give a crap about unix
[07:56:10pm] <Jamie> right
[07:56:13pm] <TiHKAL> ok
[07:56:16pm] <TiHKAL> but you forgot #3
[07:56:20pm] <Jamie> i’m perfectly happy with the operating system i have atm
[07:56:21pm] <TiHKAL> 3) you suck no matter who’s banned [How mature.]
[07:56:27pm] <Jamie> that’s of your own opinion but okay
[07:56:30pm] <TiHKAL> lol
[07:56:32pm] <TiHKAL> no im sorry [Now you're the one apologizing.]
[07:56:37pm] <TiHKAL> the unix killers will come for you [I cower in fear.]
[07:56:41pm] <TiHKAL> quit talking to me, and begin waiting. [I think I might even start counting down.]
[07:56:48pm] <Jamie> okay i await my death
[07:56:53pm] <TiHKAL> ok good do that.
[07:56:57pm] <TiHKAL> but im not talking about death
[07:57:03pm] <TiHKAL> im talking about your computer being 0wned. [Zomg.]
[07:57:14pm] <TiHKAL> because you are too much of a spoiled <censored> to RTFM. [Read what fucking manual? A manual about how to talk to people like you?]

Right. Now he’s threatening to hack me because I don’t like Unix. How much more of a prick can you be? And you’re saying that I’M spoiled? You’re the one who seems to be overly spoiled about Unix that you can’t even talk with someone who doesn’t have the same likes as you. I did install ZoneAlarm though, just in case he might possibly (I doubt it though) be somewhat tech savvy.

[08:03:26pm] <TiHKAL> i am 30 young lady. [Stop trying to act mature. I bet you're younger than me anyway.]
[08:03:31pm] <TiHKAL> i am the one who is truely waiting to die. [LOL.]
[08:03:44pm] <Jamie> you sure don’t act like you’re 30 in my opinion, but oh well
[08:03:49pm] <TiHKAL> well
[08:04:02pm] <TiHKAL> when you are older, try working for some of these companies that you just want to use like toys.
[08:04:08pm] <TiHKAL> see what it does to your composure online.
[08:04:33pm] <Jamie> i don’t use people
[08:04:36pm] <TiHKAL> no
[08:04:39pm] <TiHKAL> these servers
[08:04:41pm] <TiHKAL> THIS INTERNET. [I'm surprised he didn't say "MY INTERNET."]
[08:04:50pm] <TiHKAL> i worked for companies that were pioneers of the internet.
[08:04:55pm] <TiHKAL> dare i say it, I AM A PIONEER.
[08:04:58pm] <TiHKAL> but i get no credit. [Yes, I'm sure you founded the internet. Are we supposed to bow down to you now like you expect me to do to Unix?]
[08:05:08pm] <TiHKAL> so o well, however you think a 30yo IT pro is supposed to act.. [Because 30-year-old IT pro's say "o well."]
[08:05:22pm] <Jamie> probably not going around giving hack threats to people
[08:05:29pm] <TiHKAL> nah you dont get it at all
[08:05:30pm] <Jamie> just because you were banned
[08:05:32pm] <TiHKAL> im WARNING you. [Wow, what a difference between threatening.]
[08:05:43pm] <Jamie> sorry, hack *warning
[08:05:44pm] <TiHKAL> im warning you that unless you start acting smarter, especially about UNIX [At this point I think I'm smarter than you maturity-wise.]
[08:05:48pm] <TiHKAL> you will be 0wned. [Owned with a zero, yes.]
[08:05:58pm] <TiHKAL> cuz you are acting stupid now over some cursewords… [Excuse me? What you said weren't just some curse words.]
[08:06:07pm] <Jamie> apparently you live in a world where my opinion has no meaning whatsoever
[08:06:14pm] <TiHKAL> well
[08:06:19pm] <TiHKAL> if you don’t give a crap about unix,
[08:06:20pm] <Jamie> and i’m rather amused at how far this strayed from the fact that you wanted to get unbanned…
[08:06:25pm] <TiHKAL> then your opinion is < matter [Wow, what a nice comparison. Shows how broad-minded you are.]

Loooooooool. Yes, I’m sure he’s some 30 year old who’s a “pioneer of the internet.” This made me laugh so bad. He’s “30 and working at an IT company,” and he’s threatening to hack me because I don’t like Unix. If the kid’s 30, shouldn’t he start getting a life and do more important things such as uh… working and taking care of his family instead of threatening to hack a 14-year-old. And a pioneer of the internet? If he was 30 and a pioneer of the internet, he would have had to start working for internet companies when he was 13-14 (which I doubt). Honestly dumbass, give me a break.

To save some space, then he gave me some sites about where I could learn about Unix and said:

[08:10:15pm] <TiHKAL> and with god’s grace you may one day work for an IT company. [08:10:29pm] <TiHKAL> don’t underestimate me child im doing this for your own good. [Sorry, but I've been underestimating you for awhile.]
[08:10:31pm] <TiHKAL> you are clearly ignorant. [Vice versa.]

Yes, you are also clearly ignorant about other peoples’ opinions. I’m the one who’s ignorant? I would learn about Unix if I really wanted to, but I also know how to DISCUSS  how I feel about things with other people and LISTEN to them. It’s like some great innovation of the decade, listening and discussing.

The conversation ended not too long later, with him flooding me with “YOU MUST LEARN, OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.” I love the ignore command on IRC, love it. Actually after this, I’m starting to wonder if he even knows how to setup/run/use Unix. Maybe he just looked it up on Google, saw that it was related to computers, and thought it would make him sound intelligent to pretend he knew everything about it.

I’ve forgotten that immature idiots like this kid exist, which saddens me. They’re people who’ve obviously lived a sheltered live and possibly been spoiled to not be able to accept what other people think. They’re people who think they’re “da bomb” and everyone else is inferior. Well tell you what, I bet you’ll be really surprised to hear this, but there are actually other people in the world who have thoughts too besides you. Omg amazing, I know.

More Random Stuff

September 18, 2007

Well we finally started programming in Java with more than one class.  I need to get in a new mindsense now because the IRC scripting I do (which I compare a lot to Java) is all in one compiled script, not scripts working together simultaneously like the way java classes work.  Oh well, I’ll get it soon enough.

PSAT’s are on October 28th.  Joy…I didn’t know they were so soon o_o  My parents are going to make me start studying.

I managed to get a bunch of good grades in Biology which I’m hoping will make up for my dismal 60% quiz and 80% homework paper.  There’s also an easy quiz tomorrow on organic compounds which should help too.

There’s also a bunch of events in Odyssey I have to prepare for which will require logging on Runescape (gasp!) as well as a web design project I have in mind.  I think I need more sleep…5-6 hours a night = me yawning through Geometry.  Ick.

Did I mention how I want an Xbox?

I would think of some better title, but I may have used it already.

Gunbound is taking over my life.  It’s so addicting xD I’m getting better at it though (slowly but surely).  I also downloaded War Rock today, and it seems like a pretty decent FPS.  So much for running out of Recommended MMORPG games =x

I switched back to my old theme since I didn’t like how the other one had to have the pages widget on it so that it could show the pages.  I also added a little XFire widget to link to my lovely 8 hours on Gunbound.

Gunbound Gunbound Gunbound…ahhhh.


I Haven’t Written in Awhile o_o

September 13, 2007

What to say…

School’s been okay.  AP Biology has been loading me with homework and I got a 60 on the pop quiz xD. Geometry has been easy, English has been easy, AP Comp Sci has been more than easy.  Overall my first semester is going to be….easy?  Except for Bio though.  The music teacher’s asked me to be an accompanist for the chorus, which should be fun.

I downloaded Gunbound yesterday and have been playing it addictively like some ….addictive moron.   It’s actually a pretty cool game that’s different from any other I’ve played.  I also downloaded Rappelz, which in my opinion was a waste of three hours and 1.7 gbs.  Does anyone want to recommend any other free-download mmo’s for me?

Yup, that looks to be about it.


This Sucks

September 7, 2007

I hate getting sick, especially when it comes so suddenly. I might be fine one second with a small sniffle and then one hour later I get a massive, ginormous headache and throat problems. Yay. I don’t have the greatest immune system x_x and it takes me awhile to get better too. It didn’t help much either that I went to school even though I felt like crap (perfect attendance record lool) and we had a pep rally. I am feeling slightly better after sleeping a bit and taking Tylenol.

Speaking of the pep rally, I think the sophomores have the least spirit ever xD Then again, we were sitting out in a stadium in freaking 90 degree weather for an hour and a half. Not the best of environments to get spirits up in.  Our homeroom also sat right in front of the speaker, so I got half my ear cells blasted out.  I still can’t hear that well o_o

Odyssey has an interclan war today. Another one of those moments where I get on Runescape.
