sometimes i just don’t know why i’m still here. i know it’s because i’m too young to actually leave, but i swear, as soon as i turn 18, i’m outta here. this town just doesn’tget me, y’know? it’s like sometimes i’msocreative that it actuallyhurts, and the hicks in this town just don’tget that. they can’t even look at my lip ring without sneering or trying to hide their children fromreality. the reality of thereal world. they don’t understand that there’s a world beyond their corn fields and proms and football games and i’mfromthat world. iamthat world. and as soon as i graduate, i’m taking Mr. Whiskers and we’re going to just drive until we find a place where we fit in.
mom doesn’t even know that i’m still cutting. she just thinks i fall down a lot, and her stupid husband Dave won’t even look at me ever since i told mom he touches me. he doesn’t really, but it keeps him away from me, and one day i hope theyarresthim for it. he doesn’t deserve to exist in a world withreal peoplewith all of his hangups and ideas about how girls my age aresupposedto act.I HATE YOU DAVE! CAN’T YOU SEE THAT?!?
i have to stop now because Buffy’s coming on. sarah is coming over to watch it with me, and i’m hoping we get to kiss again. i’m not gay or anything gross like that, but i’m probably bi, and sarah’s sorta cute. plus, she’s the only girl in this town who understands how i feel. she’s not as creative as i am, but she’s kinda fat so she understands what it’s like to have people shun you because you’re different.
i love you. xoxoxo.
Being a teenage girl is hard but not as hard as being English. Jimmy Crack Corn starts off this week’s rundown of the games the editors have been playing:
Jim Sterling:Recently I played a special game calledChoose between the Leipzig Games Convention & seeing a very, very important friend this year. That was fun, like choosing between which leg to stab. This is what sucks about independant writing, kids, you have ‘real life’ issues like “work” dictating how many times you can skip country. Sigh. Anyway, other games includeHurling my controller because I’m crap at Bomberman,Sonic The Hedgehogand the closing chapters ofOverlordwhich, if you’re still yet to play, go play it!
Nex:On the insistence of Ms. Alexander, I finally got around to playing throughMetal Gear Solid 3. I’ve yet to see another game with this level of dense gameplay packed into every corner of it. As I remarked to the aforementioned lovely woman, there’s more depth in the first ten minutes ofMGS3than most other games have in their entire run-time. Two thumbs up. Fun for the whole family.
Leigh Alexander:I’m still playing porn nightmareYume Miru Kusurion my PC. It’s really an odd one, in subtle ways. Aside from that? I’ve put like 15 hours this week intoPersona 3, and when I’m not doing that I’ve just started playingPokemon Pearland I can’t wait to show everyone my pokemans. Also,Cookie & Cream DS.
Dick McVengeance:I’ve been playing a bunch ofElite Beat Agentsand realizing how much I really suck at it. While at Topher’s house (which he’s been so awesome as to put us up for this time at Otakon), I’ve been leeching off of hisBomberman Live, and cursing Grim and Husky. Feel free to go crawl into a hole and die, guys 🙂
David Houghton:I’ve been playing the Leipzig sequelGetting Really Excited When Your Press Pass Arrives And Hoping That One Man Alone Can Tackle Such A Massive Games Festival. I’ve also partaken in daily bouts ofInterview Transcription 2: Loud Pub Conversations Take Ages To Decypher Edition, along withSuper Mario 64,Burnout Revengeon the 360,Marble Blast Ultra, and a bit ofPac-Man: CE. I’m planning a bit of aF.E.A.R.-fest tonight with Tempus at some point today too.
Colette Bennett:I’ve picked upChocobo Talesagain and am really digging that. Also I am playing a game for PS2 calledKu-Onwhich is like a horror version ofOnimusha. Loving every minute of that!Chad Concelmo:It’s the Virtual Console and Xbox Live Arcade Week of Merriment!Super Mario 64,Bomberman Live!,Paper Mario,Balloon Fight,Pac-Man Championship Edition!Woo hoo! Puppies!
Faith:I just started playingLost in Blue 2and finishedCakemaniafor the DS. I’ve also gone back to playingOutpost Kaloki Xtrying to finish the missions with all gold medals.
I received a new game calledTao’s Adventurein the mail and plan to try it soon.Nick Chester:Coming down from E3 has been quite hard. Not that I’ve ever tried it, but I’d imagine it’s like the sinking feeling you’d feel after after a long night of popping ecstasy and dancing to remixes of Madonna songs.
I’ve been attempting to pull myself out of the funk by picking up where I left off withNinja Gaiden: Sigma, which continues to be gorgeous and fun, yet brutally difficult.Bomberman Live!,Super Stardust HD, andPac-Man Championship Editionare also all in the mix this week.
Gameboi:My luck took another strike for the worst, meaning that my time spent withOverlordwas cut short way too soon. Hopefully that won’t be an issue much longer. In other news, I boughtDirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII, andOdin Spheretoday. I’m only a fraction of the way into these two, so it is too early to pass judgment.
Topher Cantler:Finally getting down to someBomberman Livemulitplayer, along withOMG My house is full of nerds, Who’s in the bathroom 4, and any number of impossibly hard Japanese shmups in the gaming arena at this year’s Otakon.
There’s one that I find particularly interesting — it’s a vertical-scrolling PS2 shooter where your ship is a cute little anime character, and all the enemies are stuffed puppies, gumdrops, candy and kawaii things. It’s fun but it’s fucking weird.
.tiff:Now that I’ve finally shaken off all those germs thanks to the plethora of dirty gaming bloggers at E3, I’ve managed to start just a wee bit of gaming once again with a dash ofPokémon Pearlhere, a sprinkle ofElite Beat Agentsthere, and a twist of the addictive 8-bitastic flash gameRat Maze 2. Otherwise, I’ve been practicing theStanding on One Footgame in anticipation for the Nintendo’s utterly unexciting WiiFit.Ron Workman:Barry Mannilow’s worldon the PS3,Hushgush is a toolon the 360, andCrabs at the Doctors officeon the life. In a really bizarre twist of fate… I really want my Wii back. I have no clue why. E3 just made me really want to start playing that thing again. On the reals, I playedBombermanon XBL, a littleBoom boom Rocket(I had a girl over) and have been downloading and watching the coverage on E3 on the 360. Don’t forget kids, MS put all kinds of videos up that are free on the marketplace. Like books, check em’ out!
Grim:Earlier in the week I playedJet Set RadioandHydro Thunderon Dreamcast because both games rock and I had nothing better to play. Wednesday through Saturday it was nothing butBomberman Live. This actually caused Tazarthayoot to send me a message saying that I need professional help. I think he might be on to something.
Et tu dear reader? In the eternal quest to escape from reality, what has been your opiate this week?
