1st thing's first, thankee sais and sairesses for parody week. It was so effing lols, at least in the first 5 days. After that everyone was kinda just waiting for parody week to end so they could go back blogging like they usually do. Or maybe that was just me.
That one week and a half weeks of blogging like other people was weird. I actually changed (in real life) for a while.
I'm quite sure my rate-of-making friends went up by 300% during the course of parody week. Probably a lot to do with not thinking about stuff to blog about all the time.
I cannae remember if I told anyone on this blog yet, but Battlefield Bad Company 2 is FOOKING awesome! It's out for all platforms except the Wii, because Nintendo doesn't understand what NEXT-GEN gaming means.
If NextGen gaming meant swinging your arms around like an asshole, I would kill Santa. Luckily only Nintendoits think that way. Santa, you live.
Seriously, I like sitting down and using my controller to play games. Just today I discovered 3 new positions to lie down in while playing Far Cry 2. The only time I expect to break a sweat is when I run downstairs to get a friggin snack when loading a game.
Bad Company 2 was solid, but it's no modern Warfare 2. They sometimes made fun of MW2 in Bad Company 2.
When the team discovers some secret objective and are discussing if they should tell HQ or go in themselves, one of the teammates says, "Sarge, don't tell Command, they'll just send some wimpy spec ops team with heart beat monitors".
[From when Soap and Roach infiltrate the airbase in the mission Cliffhanger with heartbeat monitors.]
And when racing with your team on quad-bikes, one guy says "if this was a snowmobile race, I'd surely beat you". Then the other teammate says, "you kidding? Snowmobiles are for sissies"
[From the snowmobile escape in that same Cliffhanger mission]
Ughh, enough about games.
LOL, not. Dante's Inferno. Now that's a tough one. No, the game was easy. I just find it really tough deciding on whether or not I liked it. The only button mashing game that I really, really liked was The Return of The King. But Dante's Inferno was not bad I guess.
But it's as if they tried to squeeze in some form of nudity or violence in almost every cut scene.
And check this out:
You see, in Dante's Inferno, you descend hell, level by level. And at one point, Dante meets babies that died unbaptized. And for some reasons these babies have blades for forearms. Freaky. Don't worry, as the image suggests, I absolved as many babies as I could.Ok, enough about games. I wanna talk about things I wanna talk about. (duh?)
I've started walking aimlessly again. Back then, I would just walk and walk till I found something of interest, like an old abandoned house or a graveyard, or a narrow pass. Then I'd go right in.
It's not that I'm some stupid emo kid who thinks hanging out with ghosts is cool or anything. When I go into any of these weird places, I always
1) have my phone in hand, in case I need to call the police(if there are drug addicts), ghostbusters, or batman.
2) talk myself through it, like narrating a documentary. It's like I'm on the Discovery Channel and there's a camera attached to the front of my shirt. This somehow calms me down. Maybe because people don't die doing documentaries. *shrugs*. Superstitious of me, i know.
Also, I think the reason why I do these stupid treks is because I've been stuck indoors my whole life. And also because when I die, I'd like the pool of blood my body's soaking in to be endorphin and adrenaline rich! I don't wanna die doing homework, that's lame. I'd rather die of a snake bite, or by being crushed by collapsing ceilings. Something that'll give the undertaker nightmares. Because I don't think my parents like the idea of hanging my dead body from a tree.
Anywhossel,
I tried twice this week, to start off that spark. Before I do something stupid, I stare the empty house/graveyard for about 30 seconds, then some spark of stupidity sets my blood on fire and I just jump in. On Friday, I stood in front of the best adventure I e'er had. I really mean it. That house was THE scariest, darkest looking one I've ever been through, and the backyard was a load of fun to trek though. So yeah, I stood in front of it on Friday for 2 whole minutes. 3 cars passed me by, the drivers must have thought I was a nut case(I was holding a staff and staring at the house without moving). In the end I just walked home. As boring as that.
Well, it wasn't totally boring. About 15 minutes later, I was playing with my dogs, when my dad opened the gates to drive in. Hector, the bigger, male dog, darted out and nearly got squished by my dad's car. Missed it by | T H A T | much. I just grabbed the other bitch(btw she's pregnant, more puppies! YAY). Needless to say, I got the adrenaline rush that I needed. Ran like Usain Bolt for 100 metres before I found Hector sniffing someone's garbage. I beat the shit out of him( I know it doesn't help him learn) then dragged him home.
Yeah, that was on Friday. Saturday was much much better. I swear I had no intention of doing anything but walk. But when I reached the Petronas station(near Hutan Bandar and the Tamil school), I just couldn't resist. There was this giant drain/poop river that (I think I took pictures of from the other end HERE(look for the picture that reminds you of the Shire), when I visited that Chinese graveyard) looked so trekable.
I swear it was the best adventure ever. I slid down a slope, then put my phone in my pocket, and jumped down into the cemented drainage area. Then I thought, "I should take a picture of this". Felt my pockets. SHIT PHONE'S MISSING. Had to climb up using my hands and grab it off the ledge. Lesson learned, place phone inside pocket with a zipper.
Got a few pics. A few of them were for the scenery(which was beautiful), but the rest were just for remembrance sake. And I also wanna show you how godawesome this trek was.
After about 30 meters, I found some pretty interesting stuff. I used to think that PC/Xbox games had levels that seemed toooo linear. Meaning all you had to do was just follow a path that JUST SO HAPPENED to lead you the right way. Guess what, this pass was exactly like that!
Whenever my way was blocked by some protruding ledge, there was some obvious way of crossing the stream. Mind you, it was obvious to find, but not easy to cross. I crossed the stream about 6 times. The first was pretty scary It was only about a meter wide, but the other side was a steady slope. Meaning the once I crossed, I had to climb up a hill.
It was so fail. I leaped across, and realized the slope was mucky(it had rained earlier). So I had to climb on all fours for about 3 meters, then slide back down onto flat ground. My hands were all covered in mud, and when I landed, mud splattered all over the place. And all over my shoes. Which I use for college and all my other adventures.
But I found this cool looking cave, which I think I may be able to use as a REAL batcave entrance when I grow up.
The trek went smoothly for the next 10 meters. The school down the road was having sports day, so there was a lot of cheering. That meant that if I screamed for help, no one would hear. Awesome.
This is what the typical stream crossing looked like.
That was if I got lucky. Sometimes it ended up just being a lone rock to step across. Please remember that I'm probably twice your size and half as fit as any of you. And I also have gigantic feet, so tippy-toeing on rocks doesn't work.
Eventually, I got to an epic looking stream crossing. 2 logs running almost parallel to each other across the stream.
Halfway crossing picture. I was very lucky the logs didn't decide to dislodge when I took this pic.
Gross stuff in the river:
More gross stuff:
The most dangerous crossing was this one. Sure it LOOKS safe, but this picture was taken AFTER crossing. I came from the far end. jump to the rock(which suddenly shifted under my weight, jump once more onto the grassy island(that I took the picture on). The grassy island was only about 5 cm wide(even though it looks much broader in the pic, it was the surface on top that mattered.)
Ahh, the best part. The epic looking ruined tree+ruined sewage tank. My heart was racing at this point. It looked as though a level designer made this for some game. It was perfect.
With my foot planted on the perfectly placed brick slab, I pushed my body weight onto the sewage tank will my feet walked around it. That's the best description anyone could have given.
After half a minute of maneuvering, I ended up in the tank. Was cool, but I had to figure a way out. As you can see from the pic below, climbing out was out of the question. That tank was about 6 feet wide and tall, with no hand grips. So I was stuck there for a while.
Then I experimented and decided to climb onto the tree, the same way one would mount a kitchen counter : ass first. The tree was solid, so I just sat there for a while, finally able to admire the view.
and take another useless pic.
There were two perfectly placed logs(again!) that led me right out onto higher ground. There I finally was able to take a clear picture of what I had trekked through. See the unnatural looking green of the Petronas station? Well, that's where I started, the grey/discolored wall was where I began my descent, and the tank/log was where I came back up. Took me a full hour to traverse.
Took a full 2 minutes to walk back to the Petronas using the sidewalk.
