Feature Article: How to screw oneself over royally ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ah yes, it was February 18, a Friday night. I have recently gotten my hands on an anime movie, title "Omehide Poro Poro." The film revolves around Taeko, a single woman working a desk job in Tokyo in 1982, taking a vacation in the countryside with the family of her sister's in laws. During her vacation, Taeko finds herself looking back at her time as a young schoolgirl growing up in 1966. The film flips back and forth between the two time periods with a lot of nostalgia and beautiful country scenery as Taeko sorts out her flashbacks and tries to make some tough decisions about her future. So anyway, here I was with this really cool movie. Now, being one among a cadre of anime enthusiasts, I decided to share the wealth. My friend Scott, who has his own house, decided to host the shindig. So we got together a bunch of people to watch it. And there was much rejoicing. Afterwards, we decided to play a little Dreamcast. The game of choice was Worms: Armageddon. It's a cute little turn-based multi player, where you control a party of four worms, battling the other players' bands of worms. You win by NUKING THEM OFF THE BOARD! There's Air Strikes, Bazookas, Homing Missiles, Exploding Sheep, Uzis, oh man, it's hilarious. So we played that for hours on end. And there was much rejoicing. Here's where the trouble comes in. My friend breaks out a game called Crazy Taxi. Intrigued, I decide to try it out. And then the clock struck SIX I THE MORNING! AAUUGGHH!! Needless to say, I got grounded. And there was much suckiness. News Boxers: ------------------- - School is really starting to disinterest me. But I like my new Crafts class. I took it up after Film class ended. it's pretty cool, cuz now I get to play with clay and stuff. - I joined the Art Club! It's pretty cool. We run a gallery in the school, but like professionally, with life shows of like professional artists and stuff, with catering, the whole nine yards. They gave me the position of Maintenance / Supplies guy, so it's kind of a blue collar thing, which I guess they didn't want to handle themselves, but I like it! - Still struggling with a music video idea. We're looking at a Smash Mouth song right now, but we're not totally sold, so we're still shopping around, so to speak. THIS IS COOL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Crazy Taxi Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah! This game is five grades +above+ Hardcore. You control one of four taxis. The objective of the game? To earn fare by picking up passengers and drop them off at their destinations. Sound tame, right? Did I mention that there are no road rules? Yes, you actually get MORE MONEY for doing crazy stuff. You can go off ramps, graze other cars, drive in the opposite lane. In fact, the crazier the stunt, the more money you get! And of course, it doesn't hurt that some supa-fast Offspring songs play in the background. Find some way to play this game. There's no way to describe it but as the Hard in Hardcore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAY WHAT?! "Why don't you marry Stephanie?" "But we don't like each other that way!" "She's a girl, so you should marry her." - I try to explain to Justin, Stephanie's 7-yr-old cousin, the intricacies of love & marriage. - LuKas "Be seeing you" ___________________________________________________ Get your own FREE Lukas Update Newsletter!
