juldeaI feel like I could bond with some of my high school friends better after yesterday.

londo had some online things he had to take care of for a while that involved ignoring me, so he set me up on his Playstation (PSX? PS1? I don't know, but an old one.) with a copy of Chrono Trigger (if anyone knows of a site for video games that is similar to what IMDB is for movies, let me know, and I'll put a link up for CT. Although the site will probably be blocked from work.). I began playing. For a while it was frustrating as I got through the initial I-don't-know-what-the-hell-I'm-doing that happens with any video game, but he was nearby to give me pointers and whatnot. When the PS crapped out we switched me to an emulator on his computer (he was using my laptop) where I then zoomed through things. I am amused by the amount of music I recognize because of OverClocked Remix (first introduced to me by Jason/altair, turns out that many of the men I hang out with like remixed video game music). Anyway, I got to the point of.. um... escaping from the dungeon. Then it was time to leave to borrow anitra's car to return the tuxedos (she and nightskyre were busy with gifts).
But that's not all!! After returning the tuxes and picking up some thai food,londo and I returned to the newlyweds' pad and, after watching a video of the ceremony (more about that in a different post), sat down on the LoveSac (an 8-foot-diameter bean bag) and popped in Halo. We played co-op for hours... londo is old hat at it and spent most of the time practicing his l33t sniper skillz, while I just attempted to familiarize myself with the controls. After a bit I actually started killing aliens!! YAY!!! Now I am kind of obsessed with it.
In fact, I have the (newly) Smiths' car borrowed for the week while they are on their honeymoon cruise (this being because I woke up at 4:30am to drive them to Logan this morning, and will sacrifice an hour or so of work on Friday to pick them up), and I just might drive back to Worcester tonight to play some more Halo. That is if we can get into their apartment, that is. (Which can be accomplished without crime, yes.)
Oh, I did mention the 51" high-definition television there, right? (Something like this, although that's not exactly right because I don't know the brand.) Halo is awesome on it. I imagine most anything would be.
Okay, done ranting.
