What do you say when you check Sitemeter and find
Jade, I can't find your video game journal in the search engine?
You say, "Hello, good friend." Glad that you made it.
Incidentally, "Jadesyren" is the most common search keyword I've got. A close second is "GTA THUG SKIN."
Today I got "Snowman videogame." Whatever that means.
My favorite is still, "gay bears balls weights." I can't believe that anyone was looking for that, and I can't believe they found it here.
Jesus, I just GOT that one. Euw. Here I was thinking "bear" as in "grizzly." This is "bears" as in weight -bearing.
You so nasty.

What's the controversy?
Let me show you.
You are about to witness the action photos from my sister's siege on Liberty City.
And my absolute favorites:
Body bits, that cop's missing a leg, that other guy up there is missing his head...that all spells E-N-T-E-R-T-A-I-N-M-E-N-T.

Ted Koppel: "Exactly what is the social redeeming quality of this game."
Jade (on the phone with sister): "Well, Ted, what is the social redeeming quality of Monopoly..."
Sister: "...or Pacman."
Jade: "Or a Schwartzeneggar film? In fact, Ted, the socially redeeming quality of this game is the fact that its existence means that I don't have to go out and kill folks like you."
THEN there was a big burst of static in my ear. I know them FEDS were listening in.
Gah!
I hate the Undead, and I HATE, HATE, H-A-T-E survival missions. I'm stuck in undead08, and it doesn't look like I'll beat it anytime soon.
You'd think with a pre-built city, and a fountain of health and mana I'd be okay.
GRRR.
I'm watching Nightline's cover of GTA3. I don't think they approve.

(Blogger had some problems when I posted this. Pretend that it's about 4:51 a.m. on Friday, July 5th.)
It's 4:45 a.m.
I should be in bed.
Why am I still awake?
Blizzard's done it again, that's why. They're easily one of my favorite gaming companies because they will not release a game before its time. I've never had to call a Blizzard tech support number; they work right out of the box, as promised, and they deliver. You know what you're going to get, and you're not going to be disappointed.
I was never much for WarCraft I, but I blame that on playing WarCraft II first. I've wasted away MANY an hour playing this game, especially with the cheats on. I've always loved clicking the units to see what they say when you click them repeatedly, and it's never a disappointment. It's like a little somethin' extra for you. We even networked and played the holy bejeebus out of this game. Still, eventually I got tired of those Orc voices asking me what I wanted, and I got annoyed with the Humans, and I put the game away in a holy, sanctified place.
Eventually, StarCraft launched, and I was caught up on the Blizzard high again. I really connected with the Zerg and with the Human, but I couldn't really connect with the Protoss to use their strengths to my advantage, so it's just another game that I never finished. You also have to remember that I HATE pure sci-fi, which this was. The fact that I played it at all is a testimony to its goodness. Still, I put it away. I think I got the update for it...Brood Wars? I never installed it, though.
WarCraft III hit the shelves, and I could feel my hands itching, and my blood singing to get this new game. I bought the one with the Elven cover (I think that the Undead are pretty gross). I got caught up in the Human campaign to the point where it's almost 5 a.m., and I'm not in bed. I'm forcing myself to get up and GO to BED. I can feel my ankles swelling. Damn you, Blizzard. Just Damn YOU.
Coming soon will be action screenshots of the carnage that is GTA 3. I found the cheat codes (Yay!), so all she wants to do it perch on top of the police station with her tank (tank girl?) and snipe the passers-by. She bazookas the cars until she runs out, then she switches to a machine gun. It's become a science with her. Her new code to erase all her warrants is called her "neuralizer." Even if the cops are about to arrest her, they'll forget what they are doing when she enters in that code. She racked up about $20,000 from damage bonuses.

I want a Sega Dreamcast. I can get a used one for about $50. I want Street Fighter 3 Alpha and Capcom v. Marvel.
That isn't too much to ask for.
You'd think I'd get tired of driving around the cheap side of town and killing the helpless, but I don't. When it gets tiresome, I just steal cars and see if the fire truck's unlocked. I tried the bus, but I sucked and it was just sad.
