Crikey, it's been a while since I updated, but I have a perfectly good explanation for it. Before I begin, I know I said I would make a 1337 guide, but to be honest I'm too lazy. So go screw yourself.

Now, for my reasoning. Since my Dad lives in Korea, I don't get to see him too much. Fortunately, this thanksgiving he came home and I got to see him.  Anyway, since he wasn't going to be here for christmas, we got to get our presents early. LIKE A WHOLE MONTH EARLY! w00t!!!!!!1! Here is a rundown of my spoils:

Jak 3 PS2 ~ Very fun game. Lots of nifty fights and a Mad Max inspired world. The only problem is that it's so friggin' short. I beat the game in ~15 hours. Bummer.

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror GBA ~ OMFG! It's a new Kirby game. It's not as good as Superstar, but dang it's still fun!

Soul Calibur II PS2 ~ That's right, I just now got this game. And that's right, I got it for PS2. If you got a problem, well, go screw yourself. You'll burn in hell. Anywho, it's a fun game and I can safely say my favorite fighter is Talim. (w00t)

Star Wars Trilogy DVD ~ OMFG!!!!1 I finally got it! All of sunday was spent watching Star Wars (that's right, even the crappy ep. 1 and 2).

Hawaiian Shirt Clothing ~ No explaination necessary.

Alrighty. In case you have not yet realized, I am a nerdy kind of guy; therefore, I use words and phrases that other people may not. That's why, for the untrained (cool) masses. I offer you a...

Quick Quide to 1337 (leet) and other video-gaming lingo

OMFG!: Translated into meaning "Oh My F***ing God!"
WTF?: Translated into meaning "What the F***?"
w00t!: 1. A general declaration of excitement. Roughly translated, it means "Woo-Hoo!" 2. With -ness suffix, it becomes an adjective that proclaims the noun will cause you to announce "Woo-Hoo!"
d00d: Translated into meaning "dude"
j00: Translated into meaning "You"
pwnZor3d: There are various ways of spelling this, but all of them mean "I have beaten you horribly"
Lmao: Translate into meaning "loser"
haXor: A skilled computer user
suXor: An adjective used to describe a person of little skill. (ex. "j00 = t3h suXor!!!!1!" means "You have little skill.")
ns: Translated into meaning "Nice shot"
n00b: Translated into meaning "one who is new"
n00b cannon: A very powerful and easy to use weapon that n00b's tend to use to get an edge.

Now that you know some general vocabulary, I can begin on proper 1337 grammar. But I'll save that for another day. Until then, p34c3 0u+ j00 L0Z3r$!!!!!!!1!

This is a really unimportant post, but I found a really cool looking gif! Check it out:

You take them for granted, but they are an ever growing force that will soon take over the world. Or has it already? I am talking, of course, about the search engine. Observe as study one of my favorite search engine's conquests...

I just realized that I have quite a few entries now. That's odd. Anyway, for anybody who doesn't know me, here is a list of some of my...

THE POLLS = CLOSED!
The votes have been counted and the bread has been buttered. The Coolest Cats contest winner is...

Why I Hate Action Animes

#1: Action animes follow a general chain of events. It opens with an intro to characters, and also an intro to some big enemy. A fight ensues. The usually long-winded fight is ended and is followed by some sort of intermission where new moves are learned and/or new characters are introduced. Soon a new enemy is introduced and the process is repeated.
#2: Action anime fights follow a general chain of events. The fighters are usually equal, or the enemy has an advantage (the good guy(s) never has an advantage). If one doesn't already have one, a fighter gains an advantage. After the disadvantaged side gets pwnzored for a while, that fighter gains some sort of strength and the fighters are tied again. Repeat as necessary until the "good" guy(s) win.
#3: Fights are unnecessarily long-winded. Throughout the fights, characters often ramble about how cool and/or screwed-up they are. There are also enough pauses for fighters to have epiphinies and/or flashbacks.
#4: Every fighter has at least one attack that's outrageously powerful and cool-looking, but is only supposed to be used in a life-threatening situation. Also, the opponent tends to wait patiently for the attack to charge up, which leads to...
#5: All non-physical attacks require some form of charge-up time. All of them. Generally, the cooler the attack, the longer the time to charge.
#6: Every series has a fighters' tournament. Every single one. It's getting old, really quick.

This is an incomplete list, but I hope it opens some eyes.

And now...

Oh yeah, I am too 1337 for this world! I entered a short story contest for my library and totally pwnzored the competition. At least, that's one of the two options. It's more likely that I am the only one that entered in my age bracket. Either way, I won a certificate of participation and, more importantly, A GIFT CERTIFICATE TO BARNES & NOBLE! That's going straight to the purchase of some manga! Oh yeah! The story should be posted on the library web site some time next week. It might come sooner if I ever get around to, you know, putting it on the internet myself.

Oh yeah, one other thing... Vote or DIE!*
