last night i died in a fire

[terabient]

FOR REALS. i failed SO HARD at L4D2 yesterday. in Campaign mode with underworld i shot a car alarm while sniping at NOTHING and died all over the place in the Dead Center finale (which can go SUCK A DICK btw) and then i went to play versus and played so horribly i'm pretty sure my team would have won if i hadn't blown it SO BADLY. I TRIED TO REVIVE SOMEONE WHILE *STANDING IN A FIRE* AND THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING. i lost count of how many times i died in mid-attack. ffffffffff

i wonder if all of those random survival groups i join that are full of brain-dead dudes are starting to rub off on me OSHI-

*sigh*

lately, i've been looking at all the games i have and looking at the number of achievements i need to get a full 1000 (or 250, for the arcade games) gamerpoints. L4D2 is the closest to completion (49/50), followed by...Uno, of all games (10/12) and then Soulcalibur IV (41/50). since the last L4D2 achievement is impossible (all campaigns cleared on expert) and nobody plays fucking Uno anymore, i settled on unlocking something new on Soulcalibur. which, for the record, i haven't actually played for a few months now. *feels guilty*

anyway, most of what i still need to get is pretty tedious (buy a zillion pieces of equipment, clear the Tower of Souls, that 'beat arcade mode with a bunch of points' which would probably be easier if i didn't insist on getting it with Raphael/Taki/Xianghua and just cheesed the CPU to death with someone like Astaroth) so i decided to brave the waters of Xblox Live and tried gaining a few levels in Ranked Battles online.

AND OHOHOHO, IT WAS AN *EXPERIENCE*.

i played a ton of SCIV online when the game was first released like all the other lemmings but it was mostly in unranked player matches with people i already knew. the few times i wandered into random, public rooms or ranked games the experience was less than pleasant, full of spamming Kilik/Cervantes/Siegfried players who cry and cry and cry when you beat them with the magic of *Guard Impact* and *sidestepping* and then boot you in a fit of nerdrage.

so yeah. first guy i fight was, zomg, a Cervantes whose entire strategy was "do teleport-y torpedo moves regardless of effectiveness" so i, you know, moved the side and stabbed his face until he died, except for the one match where he torpedoed himself right off the stage, which was pretty awesome.

i win and he leaves, and then 5 minutes later i get a very angry message about being a lagging n00b who plays 'a fag.'

winning is extra fun when Raphael is your main. :]

i considered playing more but the sheer amount of ranked wins i need so huge i just lost all desire to play after that, so i switched to Portal and got really confused on the Advanced maps again and ragequit again.

AND THAT WAS MY WEEKEND (well, not all of it, but the game-y parts of it.)

anyway. i'm outrageously bored so here is a meme i stole from underworld:

Give me a character from any fandom I know at least fairly well, and I will tell you:

A) My OTP
B) The runner up
C) The anti-ship
D) My unpopular fannish opinion on said character
E) One person he/she never fell in love with, and why

i think i did one really similar to this a few months ago but um...whatever. i could do for some pointless speculation about nerd things right now. =D

I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE CAR WHEN I SHOT IT D:

damn sniper bullets.

the weird thing is, my achievement bar thing says i have two already completed, but i'm not sure which ones. i know one is Dead Center but i can't remember what the other one is. o_O at least we won't have to do that gas-collecting finale on expert D:

meme~ (i love everyone!...but yeah, Nick's my favorite XD )

A) Nick/Ellis SURPRISE!
B) Nick/Rochelle (which may actually be a surprise, but probably not.)
C) i-i don't know. with my favorite characters, usually i can see them with anyone and i like whore!Nick um...Nick...and a...Charger...? YEAH THAT'S PRETTY EW I'D RATHER NOT SEE IT. XD
D) Nick's only okay at playing cards. and he doesn't actually cheat that often, he's just good at finding people who can't play cards at all, and keeping them in a game until they lose all their money. he's not well-connected or skillful enough to swindle like, expert players or casinos.

i totally think he rocks at pool, though.
E) nobody because he's a loner :seriousface: his ex-wife. i don't think he hated her but he didn't really love her either - getting married just seemed like the right thing at the time, and whoever she was seemed nice enough, and when they started fighting neither of them cared enough to fix things, so they divorced. THE END.

NICK/CHARGER LMFAO *DIES* you should write a Charger!Nick rape fic LMAO I'd die.

you're like, so in depth here lmao. ~so deep~

yanno how they have, like, accompanying books for movies and games and shows and stuff? I'd love a series of L4D books. actually, I'm not sure why they don't have any yet... hmmm.

well the Charger DOES masturbate all day so it'd be good at --

NO. NOOOOO. *bleaches brain*

that is a very nice way to say 'obsessed' btw. :3 i blame the nickxellis community which has only encouraged my tendency to overthink everything.

L4D books would be fun. i usually pass over those kinds of things because they can be really iffy but i wouldn't mind seeing them for L4D. because i'm a neeerd :3
