callie_chanI make less and less of these, I swear.
Anyway! As of five days ago, I'm twenty-one. *shifty eyes* Old enough to drink alcohol, which makes it that much more of a shame that I'm of the school of thought that bartenders should pay me to put that crap in my mouth. Also old enough to no longer be covered by my parents' health insurance, which means I need a job with health benefits--either that, or just never get sick again ever.
As of six days ago, I had my wisdom teeth removed--we were kind of in a rush to get it done while our insurance would still pay for it. So I spent my birthday groggy and bleeding--but since this was the sixth time people have cut into my mouth with pointy things, I was hardly what you'd call phased. This was the first time I'd had surgery on my back parts of my mouth and in four different places at once, but actually it was a hell of a lot more convenient than the other five operations at the front ever were. My eating habits are almost entirely back to normal now, I never really swelled up, and I couldn't even get out of being dragged to Easter mass. Oh well.
I've bought and have beaten Metal Gear Solid 3, which against all logic lived up to the incredible hype it got from everyone everywhere. The canon gay made my brother squeal like a pig--in a bad way, for the record--which was worth the price of admission all by itself. >D I want to gush about The Boss with him, but Volgin keeps kicking his ass so he hasn't beaten it yet.
I PINE for Devil May Cry 3, even though it's going to fuck me difficulty-wise; I'm one of those people who plays through on Easy the first few times through a game, and from what I've heard DMC3 makes you beat it on Normal before you can even UNLOCK the Easy mode. And since I've also heard DMC3 approaches Ninja Gaiden difficulty levels, I am going to die. But JESUS GOD the brothers are pretty. *_* And shirtless Dante! And the hacking and the slashing and the shooting! In other words, the game is all but sold to me already.
In other news, my life is totally boring! Hi!

He then proceeds to GRAB YOU BY THE JEWELS. >D He gives you a weird look, then yells at you for being an imposter because "I know Ivan's body better than anyone!" And then he beats the crap out of you saying things like "you're going to pay for what you did to Ivan!"
As if that wasn't blatant enough, when you fight the colonel later on, you can put on the mask that makes you look like Ivan and the colonel will just STAND there and let you shoot him for a moment, saying things like "Ivan...? Is that really you?" And when he realizes you're not Ivan, he roars like a bull.
So, yes. Absolutely canon gay. And for the record, Ivan is Dante-class pretty.

DMC3 has a little more strategy involved. You have to level up smarter, I think, and just mashing the buttons without memorizing the combos isn't enough in a lot of fights. Also - holy shit! - it's so LONG!
And I love MGS3, too. But I'm sure you know that already; I haven't stopped gushing about it for weeks. IM me sometime, and we'll squee about it.

Buy DMC3. You will BLEED HATRED, but it is so very gay. The second to last boss fight? GAY GAY MCGAY OH SO CUTE. The game itself is gay enough that everyone in my friend's dorm who stopped by was disturbed by the crotching Dante and Vergil did at each other. But nothing compares to that one boss fight. Nothing. And Dante is an even bigger dork.
Buy the Japanese or Euro release. Both have the easier level system and the Japanese version has English settings.
Will read fic when done with History papers.

Date: 2005-03-30 06:15 am (UTC)Actually, I don't even know if you've been properly introduced to the two characters featured in the fic(s) yet(although right now I'm on a huge kick with them). I've got a profile up for one of them just recently in my LJ somewhere.
You seriously need to get back on AIM. >D My characters are 30% less lame now! But about 80% more gay, so.

Ok...first you have to break into a church and then drink the wine. And the, um, find a computer to write a drunk post or accost Derumi's phone should he be in the are.
(Pssst, I mispelled almost every single word. I win.)

Date: 2005-03-30 04:10 pm (UTC)Also, HAVE DMC3 NOW. I don't know how it could suck the gay out of you when it's so busy BASHING YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH IT, but whatever!
