choke on that causality

I think that I read too much into what people say. Like I can’t listen to someone without thinking about what they actually mean. It’s like a game. A sick and twisted one.

“You might want to give that design some more thought.” means “Are you kidding me with this shit?”

“Let’s meet to talk about this further.” means “I feel obligated to express some sort of interest in your work. But let’s leave it really open ended, so I don’t actually have to commit to anything.”

“Excuse me if I’m getting too technical.” means “Sorry if I can’t dumb it all down for you.”

“Could you do me a quick favor?” means “I’d like to pawn off some of my crap work to you.”

“Looks like you have a lot going on.” means “Your a fucking mess. Clean yourself up!”

“Did that email make sense?” means “Since I haven’t gotten a response from you, I’m assuming you are too stupid to understand what I meant. So now I’m inquiring for a direct demonstration of your idiocy.”

This is neat. I never really understood how this worked. Does anyone? If they did, then why is there the diagram, huh…tell me that.

The Cousin Tree

We are all approved for a loan for our new house that we haven’t found yet I should be really happy, but big stuff like this always seem to just make me nervous and irritable. I’ve been eating cookies like mad for some reason. At least I have a good video game to occupy much of my time.

I got Super Paper Mario for my birthday and it is incredibly fun. I really like the humor in it too. Like there is this character that is supposed to be a huge tech-geek, and some of the things he says were just so funny and true. You get to play as Peach and Bowser too so it is cool. It’s kinda rpg style kinda not. Like you have Health Points and attack/defense points that increase as you get points, and you can buy items with coins and stuff. But it isn’t turn based fighting which I really like. It makes it feel more like a class Mario game.

I do have a couple of small complaints. Although it is super fun to switch from 2d to 3d, it is awkward trying to move around. Maybe my depth perception is just bad. I dunno. Plus even though you are 3d, you can’t change the camera angle so if you try to walk backwards you might accidentally fall off of a cliff. woops.

Also there are things called cool moves or special moves or something like that you can perform after an attack to gain extra points. So if you jump on an enemy, right after you can shake the controller to perform a move. It just feels like an awkward transition to me to start shaking the controller…so i just don’t do it too often. So I’m totally losing out on points and probably not gaining levels as much as I should. Ah well.

Also I like the variety of items but it is just kind of a pain to open up the menu and use them, so I just don’t do it. Also, you can’t carry very much stuff which is annoying.

All things considered this is probably the best game for the Wii right now. You should definitely check it out.

I know I don’t often get too serious or preachy. But for real, read this article. I think it is important.
