Well, I'm back from my mom's after an annoying weekend revolving around seventh grade maths. I kid you not. I hate tutoring my brothers. Danny never listens to me, and then he gets frustrated when the numbers won't add up or he gets a 5 on his exams. Argh.
I already got my birthday present from the parental unit. Mom is the kind of person who's unable to deliver a present the due day, which explains the strangeness of Santa Claus bringing stuff four days before Christmas (and she wonders how I figured it out...) but that's another story. It wasn't a surprise or anything, because she asked me if I'd like one of those and I agreed because it's shiny.
She bought me one of those portable DVD players with its own screen. She was already getting one from my stepfather, and I thought it was cool. So yeah, maybe an mp3 player or a Nintendo DS would be more useful in terms of my personality, but I needed a new video player anyway. Mine can't even recognize DivX, and that sucks -you can connect it to the TV, yay. It's really cute, and it even brought its own bag.
I borrowed Shadow of the Colossus from my brothers. I've only played an hour and so so far. I completely agree the graphics and main character are drop-dead gorgeous, and it's my kind of action game alright. What's the issue, then?
IT'S ME.
I suck at videogames harder than I thought. Indifferently of genre.
I can't get the sword to show me the vital points. I spent like 10 minutes trying to jump a certain rift. I CAN'T CLIMB THE FIRST COLOSSUS FURTHER THAN THE LEG. I only could go to the top once, and then I fell, and then it step on me.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE EASY ONE, BITCH.
The sad thing is that I know what I have to do, but I lack the skills. sjdhfjksd hjkfh sjkdhf.
Emo and self-hatred aside, I must say Wanda is so, so, so pretty! I'm not sure if it's the Link factor or anything, but I find him hot in a physical way. His plotline is a bit hard to swallow though, because the whole bringing back the girlfriend from the dead by any means is pretty much cliché and corny. But that doesn't stop me from drooling over his cuteness.
But yeah, while normal girl gamers daydream with the Square-Enix eyecandy, I obsess over Okami and stress over Shadow of the Colossus, and feel guilty because I haven't finished the latest Zelda games. And we do have three Final Fantasy and two Kingdom Hearts, and I can't hold the interest so they're gathering dust. This is the reason behind the post title. I'm a freak even when GAMING.
ETA: Okay, beat the fucking colossus already. Yay me?
