GREDLEN'S PROFILE

In this topic, we just post whatever's on our mind. Something pissing you off? Did you think of something totally awesome?

Me, I recently remembered something totally random.

Robocks. Man, does anyone else remember that game?

Went to work all day (about 8am to 7pm).
I and a couple of others went to a friend's house shortly after, had pizza, and played Fatal Frame II for a while. We're playing in first-person mode. I was scared to drive back home at around 2am. Maybe there are ghosts behind me as I type this. ;_;

Today I watched the first episode of the second season of Zero no Tsukaima, as well as Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (Nekogoroshi-hen). I was very satisfied with Zero no Tsukaima, but the episode of Higurashi was pretty minor.

Then I played some Kagetsu Toya, which is a semi-sequel to the visual novel Tsukihime. Kagetsu Toya is also a visual novel, in which you relive the same day over and over. You can choose from a large variety of options, and you'll have to in order to pick up clues about what's happening. It's really interesting... and would totally not appeal to 95% of the people reading this!

Then I went to work, which sucked. I had $1 left after eating dinner! It seems high school started recently, so hopefully all the other baggers will stop coming in as much.

... Hm. What did I do today?!
I was supposed to play Gears of War with someone, but apparently he goes to sleep really early. Seriously, 3 am? Weak.

*usually goes to sleep at around 12...*

Phew.

Today I:

Finished watching Zero no Tsukaima. My thoughts on the first season will likely be posted to my anime topic later, but I'm looking forward to starting on the second season.

Finished the first Generica character set. I'm not 100% happy with the way the guard character turned out (particularly the side view), but I guess I'm satisfied enough to say it's finished! He was definitely the most difficult so far, and I get the feeling the playable characters will probably be at least as challenging.

Started rereading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Having finished the Deathly Hallows, I felt like revisiting the beginning of it all. It's very nostalgic.

Bought Marathon: Durandal on Xbox Live. It was Bungie's big sci-fi FPS trilogy before Halo, and it seems pretty fun so far. Definitely dated, but I loved that I could punch the crap out of everything in the first level. It no longer seems to be a viable strategy as of the second level, though. Unfortunately.

Went to work. Terrible. I bag groceries at a commissary. I can work whenever I want to (at least 3 times a week), but I work for tips only. When I started working, I could expect a fairly steady $10/hr. I liked all the other baggers who worked when I started. I knew all their names and everyone was actually almost like a family.

They're long gone, replaced by kids who would rather gossip and screw around than work. There are so many baggers working now, my wages generally fluctuate from below minimum wage to just below my $10/hr average. Today was one of the worst "below minimum wage" days I've seen in a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that I can come and go as I please (excellent for a college student who doesn't have to pay for anything aside from gas), I would have found another job a while ago.

Updated the character set above. Aligned them all to the bottom and added a guard. I guess that's a pretty final character set!
